Chu Yu walked over and politely asked:
"Comrade, hello, what are you drawing?"
On such a hot day, the staff member transcribing the registration almost suffered heatstroke. She didn't want to answer, but her voice was soft and she was incredibly beautiful.
The young staff member blushed and said, "The temple fair is about to start, and we are drawing dividing lines. People setting up stalls must place their stalls behind the lines and are not allowed to go beyond them."
Chu Yu was slightly taken aback. She hadn't been to a temple fair for many years. In her memory, temple fairs were all held in the first month of the lunar calendar. Deyang also had a temple fair in the middle of the year.
The staff member smiled and said, "This temple fair is a tradition of Deyang. It was interrupted for more than ten years during the People's Commune period and was only officially restored the year before last. Last year's temple fair was very lively, with nearly 200,000 people participating. It was so grand that it was even reported in the provincial newspaper! The leaders attach great importance to this year's temple fair and said that it is imperative to ensure that the temple fair proceeds in an orderly manner and that there can be no chaos. That's why we came out in advance to draw the lines."
A temple fair with 200,000 people? Chu Yu seemed to see the great unity of workers, peasants and soldiers beckoning to her.
What do people usually sell at temple fairs in Deyang?
"Snacks, soft drinks, popsicles, clothes, fabrics, toys, kitchenware...we have everything!"
Chu Yu understood the situation. "Do I need to pay to participate in the temple fair? Are there still any seats available?"
The staff member glanced at her and said, "You need to pay. The street in front of the department store is the busiest place, and it costs 10 yuan per stall. From here to the road behind Dezhong, it's 5 yuan per stall, and further out it's 3 or 2 yuan. The cheaper stalls are almost all booked, so there aren't many good spots left if you want to book one, but there are still a few 5 or 10 yuan stalls left."
Chu Yu certainly wouldn't let this opportunity slip by.
"Has this spot I'm standing in been reserved for someone else?"
The staff member paused for a moment, then took out the registration form and looked it over. "It's still empty."
"I'll take this spot, and I'll also get a 10-yuan one. Could you please pick a good one for me?" Chu Yu smiled at him.
The staff member blushed, flipped through the notebook, pointed to a spot, and said to Chu Yu:
"This location is great, right across from the department store. It was originally reserved, but the stall owners had a fight, the husband gambled away all his wife's money, and they're going through a divorce, so they gave up the stall. This is the best one if you want it!"
Chu Yu didn't even look at it, paid 15 yuan to reserve the stall, signed her name, and then rode her bike directly to the train station instead of returning to Yongding Lane.
She needs to have something to sell at a temple fair with 200,000 people; 2,400 yuan is enough for a trip to Vancouver.
Vancouver is famous for its leather shoes, clothing, fabrics, and small commodities. No matter what it is, as long as you can get the goods, you won't have to worry about selling them!
