Chapter 229 Two in One
"Girl?" Ding Dayong was a little confused: "Isn't that a boy?"
Ding Guo smiled and said, "She's a tomboy."
Ding Dayong was still in shock: "F-Tomboy? No..."
The way Mosquito speaks and behaves looks like a little boy!
He also called him "brother" several times.
Dayong felt a little embarrassed.
"No matter whether they are real boys or tomboys, she has the channels to sell all the goods. You just need to concentrate on reviewing and prepare for the college entrance examination."
The difficulty of this year's college entrance examination is different from previous years.
Ding Dayong didn't know that the difficulty of the college entrance examination would increase this year. He was now trying hard to recall whether he had any physical contact with the mosquito.
For example, patting someone on the shoulder or something, after thinking about it, I breathed a sigh of relief, luckily there wasn't any.
Otherwise it would be very offensive!
After dinner, Ding Dayong followed Ding Guo to look for mosquitoes with a complicated expression.
Even though I already knew that Mosquito was a girl, I still felt dazed when I saw her in person and looked at the short braid on the back of her head.
Ding Guo smiled and asked Dayong to wait by the side. He walked to the side with Mosquito, looked around and saw that no one was passing by. He raised his hand and pulled up his sleeve, showing the electronic watch on his wrist.
Mosquito was surprised: "Sister Ding Guo, this is... a watch? There are watches like this?"
Ding Guo glanced around again and whispered, "This is an electronic watch from Hong Kong. My brother brought it back from the south. It's 28 yuan."
28 is the price she discussed with Dayong. How Mosquito negotiates with others and how much profit she makes from matchmaking depends on herself.
Even if the price of a watch increases by only one dollar, you can easily make more than two hundred dollars.
As for the chance to meet wholesale electronic watch vendors during their summer trip to the south, Mosquito would know the profit of these watches, so Ding Guo had no psychological burden at all.
Dayong carried the goods back from the south, taking considerable risks along the way, but this was the profit they deserved.
If Mosquito really feels uncomfortable about this, even if she knows that she is capable, she will reduce cooperation with Mosquito in the future.
However, judging from her own interactions with Mosquito during this period, she felt that this girl was both righteous and smart, and was very good at scheming.
Such smart people are more clear-headed.
Ding Guo's offer made Mosquito's eyes widen. He took a deep breath and asked again uncertainly, "Sister, 28 or 280?"
How come there are watches costing twenty or thirty dollars?
Ding Guo smiled and said, "The outer shell is plastic, not a mechanical watch, and not as shatterproof as a mechanical watch. It uses a small battery inside. I don't know if this kind of small battery is sold in the department store here, but the one that comes with it can be used for more than a year. If there is no battery here, we can find a way to get a batch of batteries here."
"The amount is a bit large, more than 200 yuan. Dayong is preparing to take the college entrance examination this year, so he doesn't have time to find someone to deliver it piece by piece. I want to give it to your previous boss. I'll give you 28 yuan. It's up to you to negotiate how much you want with them, but I want to get the full payment in one go."
Mosquito and Fly rubbed their hands: "Sister, if we set up a stall in the square, we will definitely have no problem selling... But I can bear it, let's wait until the summer vacation, and I will go to negotiate this batch of goods!"
Make him some money.
Ding Guo laughed: "It's okay as long as you can hold it in. Summer vacation is not long away. Then we can go to the south to investigate and see what we can bring back. Let's go to the square together to take a look."
"Okay, sister, wait for my news."
She left a sample for Mosquito and asked him to help her buy a few live chickens and ducks, and specifically reminded him to keep them alive.
Mosquito agreed, and Ding Guo and Dayong left.
Dayong didn't stay long and returned to Fengning.
Registration for this year's college entrance examination has already begun, and he returned at the right time, neither too early nor too late.
Mosquito came to visit Ding Guo four days later. When she came, Aunt Qiao had just left. She came specially to bring Ding Guo shepherd's purse dumplings, two large lunch boxes full.
Pei Yu's in-laws' relatives came over and brought a lot from the countryside, so they sent some to the compound and Zizhu Bridge.
Before Ding Guo went upstairs with the dumplings, he saw a figure riding a bicycle rushing towards them from afar.
Ding Guo had good eyesight and recognized it as Mosquito at once. She walked to the side calmly, and Mosquito turned halfway tacitly. The two of them found an empty place with no one around and stopped.
Mosquito wiped the sweat off his head and said with a smile, "Sister, it's done. I quoted the other party thirty-two, full payment. By the way, you have two live chickens, but no ducks. I received a goose. Do you want it?"
In fact, she went to find her former boss the next day after talking with Ding Guo.
She didn't go there, but observed the watch for a whole night to see if it was accurate. She also had to check the quality of this new thing. The former boss did the same afterwards, and kept a sample to observe and raise money at the same time.
In fact, if you own a territory and do black market business, you can definitely come up with several thousand dollars.
But Mosquito’s former boss didn’t do that. He found a partner. In addition to transferring the referral fee, he also found someone to share the risk.
So I didn't reply to Mosquito until this morning, and Mosquito came running over to tell me the news after class.
"Yes, I want any live poultry." Ding Guo laughed again, "You don't need to tell me about your profits!"
Mosquito shook his head and said, "I'll take half of the profit from this batch of watches, and the remaining half is yours, Sister Ding Guo."
The place they found had two large rocks on the roadside. Ding Guo asked Mosquito to sit down, handed her a lunch box, and took out two pairs of chopsticks from his bag. He said, "Let's talk while we eat." Then he continued the previous topic, "I have a profit, and to be honest with you, my profit here is very high."
It was time for lunch. Mosquito was lucky as he happened to meet Aunt Qiao who came to deliver food, so Ding Guo treated her with dumplings.
Mosquito was still talking, and when Ding Guo handed it to her, she took it and said, "Sister, your profit is your profit. How high your profit is has nothing to do with me. You help me make money, and you make it so easy for me to make money. It's reasonable for me to give you a kickback."
She is a person who knows what is good for her. Sister Ding Guo thought of her for doing such a good thing, so she should repay her.
After saying that, he realized that he had taken Sister Ding Guo's lunch so easily, and hurriedly said, "Sister, I'll go back and eat..."
Ding Guo stuffed a pair of chopsticks into her hands.
Aunt Qiao definitely didn't bring chopsticks with her. Ding Guo took them out from the space using her messenger bag as a cover and said with a smile, "You're welcome. Eat them. These dumplings were just delivered from home."
Mosquito stopped being pretentious, thanked him, picked up one with chopsticks and put it in his mouth: "Shepherd's purse?"
fragrant!
But this is definitely not the shepherd's purse that Ding Guo gave me last year.
But it’s also delicious and fragrant!
Mosquito asked by the way: "Sister, you are not selling shepherd's purse this year? That shepherd's purse is really good!"
"I'll send you some for yourself later. I won't ship in bulk."
Mosquito didn't think much about it, thinking that Ding Guo either didn't have time or that the supplier had found other channels.
Although she doesn't do business, it's no problem for Sister Ding Guo to get a small amount.
Ding Guo talked about the kickback again: "You don't need to give me a kickback. That's the money you earned with your own ability. You deserve it."
Having connections is also a kind of skill.
Mosquito was a little stunned after hearing this.
She has been doing this for quite some time. When she was still in the countryside, she would go up the mountain to pick mushrooms, dig wild vegetables, and catch pheasants and rabbits when other people in the village were not paying attention. She would then secretly find time to go to the black market in the local commune to exchange them for things or money.
She had a regular partner there, but later that person somehow found out about her bad background and started bullying her, deliberately lowering the price and threatening her with her identity.
Mosquito found it ironic that a black marketeer would care about ingredients.
But that was the fact, so she stopped cooperating with that person and was very sad for a while.
She treated him as a friend and kept the best goods for him, but the price was the same as that of ordinary quality goods.
The other party treated her as a soft persimmon.
Later, she was rehabilitated and returned to the city. She worked in several territories and got to know a group of brothers and the so-called top and second-in-command of the territories. She had been cheated and plotted against, but of course she had her good days too. However, among all the people who had business dealings with her, no one ever told her, "This is the money you earned with your own ability, and this is what you deserve."
She had not known Sister Ding Guo for long, but for some reason she felt a special sense of security from Ding Guo.
Mosquito lowered his head and ate the dumplings in big mouthfuls. He didn't say anything for a long time. He almost wolfed down the dumplings in the lunch box, stretched his neck to swallow them, and then smiled and said, "Sister, you are my real sister from now on!"
Ding Guo found it funny that someone suddenly said this.
The two checked each other's schedules and found that the daytime time didn't match up so well, so they simply arranged it for Friday night.
Ding Guo would go with Mosquito to get the money, but Ding Guo would not show up. He would hide outside and wait for support.
Money can be a great temptation. When it comes to goods worth thousands of dollars, even if they are acquaintances, you have to be careful.
Mosquito insisted on washing the lunch boxes of both people before riding away on his bike.
After two days of classes, Ding Guo had no classes after 3 p.m. on Friday. As usual, he went to register with the life committee member and the dormitory manager to ask for leave and not stay overnight. Then he said goodbye to his roommates and rode his bike back home.
On the way, he took a big bag of shepherd's purse, a bundle of spinach, and a bundle of leeks from the space, and bought some pork belly and eggs from the system mall, and carried them back home.
Pei Che is not coming back this week, which makes it convenient for Ding Guo to go out.
Shao Xunping didn't come back either. After Ding Guo's home time was fixed, she staggered it with Ding Guo. She would catch up on work at the company on weekends, but would come back to help look after the children on weekdays.
Dazhu was at home, but the child was easy to coax, so after dinner he was sent back to read without saying anything else.
Instead, Dabao and Xiaobao were both clinging to her, so Ding Guo coaxed the children into saying she was going out to buy something delicious, and then she put on her backpack and went out on her bike.
Dabao and Xiaobao have never experienced the dangers of the world, and they don't know what the "delicious food" their mother was talking about is. But they were inexplicably aroused by a false expectation in their mother's tone, and acquiesced to their mother's departure.
On the way, Ding Guo took out a bag of shepherd's purse and hung a portable canvas bag on the handlebars, which contained the goods for tonight's transaction.
Rushing to Pengbo Hutong, they found Mosquito. Ding Guo handed her a bag of shepherd's purse, and Mosquito handed Ding Guo two lunch boxes. She smiled and said, "Sister, I'll treat you to some dumplings, too. I just made them with locust flower and pork filling. Come and have a taste of my cooking skills."
Ding Guo didn't hesitate to take it and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll try it later."
Put it into the bag and hide it in the space.
Mosquito took the shepherd's purse home, came out with Ding Guo, found a secluded place, and squatted down to count the goods.
There were two hundred and thirty watches. She wore one and put another in her pocket.
She kept this for herself.
I will add the money to the payment for the goods later.
The two of them wandered around outside, and at half past seven, they rushed to the trading point.
When they got close, Mosquito stopped the bike and whispered, "Sister, let's hide the bikes first and follow me."
Ding Guo turned on the small speaker to pay attention to the movements around him, and rode his bike to keep up.
After hiding the car, the two men carried their bags and tacitly stopped talking and just kept on going.
After walking for a while, they stopped again. Mosquito pointed to a corner and whispered to Ding Guo, "Sister, go there and wait."
Ding Guo also asked about the specific location of the yard. When he locked onto it, he heard the cry of a goose and accurately identified the target.
She asked Mosquito: "Do you know how many people are inside?"
Mosquito nodded: "Three at most."
It was agreed at the time that no more than three people could come to pick up the goods, and she also named them to avoid the ones who had previously plotted against her.
Ding Guo also identified the voices coming from the other side. There were only three people talking, and there was nothing unusual in the content. He said, "I'll wait here. If you have any questions, just shout. Don't speak too loudly. I have good ears."
Mosquito smiled and said, "Okay, sister, you don't have to worry. We are their God of Wealth now, and we have to provide for him. It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but from what I know about Brother Leopard, at least he won't dare to do anything weird this time."
Her channels are her confidence, she has faith in electronic watches, and her former boss Brother Bao can also see that this market is lucrative.
But she would not take it lightly. Mosquito touched the thing on her lower back. She was not without precautions at all, after all, the transaction amount this time was quite large.
She picked up her bag and disappeared into the dark alley.
Ding Guo flashed into the space.
While strolling on the black soil, I listened to the noise coming from the small speaker.
When the mosquito's footsteps stopped, there were several regular knocks on the door, three long and two short.
Soon, footsteps were heard from inside and outside, then they stopped, and then someone asked in a low voice: "Mosquito?"
Mosquito: "It's me, open the door."
The door opened, and Mosquito entered the room. Suddenly, several greetings with laughter rang out in the room: "Finally you're here. Did you bring the goods?"
Mosquito: "I brought it. Brother Leopard, please check the number."
Then came the rustling sounds and the collision of electronic watches.
While ticking his watch, the man called Brother Leopard asked Mosquito to start counting the money: "It's according to the amount you reported. You count it first. If there's any discrepancy in the amount, we can check it later."
Next, there was a long period of rustling.
After a while, the watches were counted and confirmed to be correct: "Brother Bao, 227."
The total number is 230. There is a sample here. Mosquito kept two for himself, and there are 227 left. However, the samples will not be given away. Brother Leopard prepared the money according to the number of 228 watches.
But mosquitoes don't count money that quickly.
Brother Leopard also interjected: "Are you going to take the two chickens and the goose with you later?"
Mosquito replied casually: "Bring it with you."
Brother Leopard asked the others to catch the chickens and told them to "tie their mouths."
Then there was a wait of more than ten minutes, and finally Mosquito's voice came: "Brother Bao, the money is just right, the silver and the goods are paid."
Brother Bao smiled and said, "The money and goods are settled. Mosquito, don't forget your brothers when you have such good things in the future."
Mosquito greeted him and responded, put the money into his bag, picked up the bundled chickens and geese, and went out.
Ding Guo also flashed out of the space and waited for a minute or two. Then a mosquito-like voice came from the dark alley: "Sister?"
Ding Guo: “I’m here!”
After saying that, his expression changed slightly and he looked in another direction in the darkness.
There was nothing to see, only the extremely faint sound of another footstep coming from the small speaker.
The two met up, and Ding Guo whispered, "Let's go, someone is following us."
Mosquito's expression turned cold, and then he left quickly with Ding Guo without saying a word.
Ding Guo also took the bundled chickens and geese from Mosquito based on his feeling.
After walking about ten meters, Mosquito dragged Ding Guo into the alley next to him, hid behind a wooden electric pole, and waited with bated breath.
Ding Guo stood behind Mosquito and calmly put the chickens and geese into the space.
Although their wings and apparently their mouths were tied, they could still make some noise if they struggled.
Mosquito's attention was now entirely focused on the outside, and he didn't notice Ding Guo's little movements at all.
Soon, a dark shadow flashed past the alley.
The two continued to wait. From Ding Guo's small speaker, the man walked out about twenty meters and then stopped, as if he realized that he had lost someone. Then the footsteps turned back and walked in this direction again.
Ding Guo whispered, "I'm back!"
Mosquito also listened with his ears tilted, patted Ding Guo, and signaled her to stay where she was, and he tiptoed to the entrance of the alley and hid by the wall.
Ding Guo also kept a distance from the sound, and when the other party reached the alley entrance and Mosquito was about to attack, she used Banana Peel.
The man fell to the ground and just as he groaned, the mosquito flew away like a ghost.
Although he didn't expect the man to fall, Mosquito reacted quickly. He grabbed the man's nose and mouth with one hand, grabbed the back of the man's collar with the other hand, and dragged the man in.
Ding Guo stepped forward to help, and after confirming through the small speaker that there was no one else nearby, he took out a flashlight and shone it on the man's face.
The man was suddenly hit by the strong light and closed his eyes to avoid it, saying quickly, "No, no, no, I mean no harm, I really mean no harm."
Mosquito's slightly cold heart eased a little at this moment, and said, "It's not someone from Brother Bao's side."
Fortunately, he was not from Brother Bao's side, otherwise she would have been slapped in the face just after she had promised Sister Ding Guo, and she would have been very embarrassed.
This person followed me even though he had no ill intentions. The meaning is self-evident.
Brother Bao met someone who wanted to steal his business.
Mosquito said coldly: "I don't care what your intentions are, and I don't care who you belong to. I will pretend that what happened tonight never happened, but only this time. Go back and tell your boss that there are rules in this business, and only by abiding by the rules can you go far."
After saying that, he hit the man's neck hard with his palm, knocking him unconscious, and dragged him to the side of the electric pole and laid him against the wall.
The movements are so skillful that it makes people feel distressed.
Ding Guo also took out the chicken and goose in the darkness without making any noise and picked them up again.
"Walk!"
The two left.
"He won't be unconscious for too long. He will wake up in about ten minutes. I'm holding back." said Mosquito.
I explained it specifically because I was afraid that Sister Ding Guo was timid and would be frightened by this situation, or I was worried that the person might get into an accident.
Moreover, the person was lowered along the wall, so even if someone passed by, they would basically not be able to find him unless they used a flashlight.
The two men returned to where they had hidden the car, pulled it out, and headed straight for Zizhu Bridge.
On the way, Ding Guo asked about the prices of chickens and geese. Mosquito didn't hear them talking about this when he was inside.
Mosquito said: "Brother Leopard didn't ask for money, he said he would give it to me as a gift."
This batch of goods can make Brother Leopard a lot of money, so giving away some poultry is nothing.
If she wasn't a serious college student now and had concerns, she really wanted to go out and try the market on her own.
Since it was sent from there, Ding Guo accepted it and then sent some other dishes to Mosquito later.
When he arrived at the door of his house, Ding Guo opened the door to the west courtyard from the outside.
Nowadays, the door to the west courtyard is locked from the outside all year round, and people can only enter through the east door.
After parking the car, Dazhu heard the noise and came out to see what was going on. Ding Guo hurried to the door leading to the yard and whispered "It's me", then said "hush". Dazhu turned around and went back to the house sensibly.
Ding Guo did not bring Mosquito into the yard, but went straight into the back room at the door, turned on the light, put the chickens and geese aside, and started to divide the money.
The largest denomination of money these days is ten yuan, and it is better to bundle them up into bundles of one hundred.
Mosquito said: "I have checked it all, Sister Ding Guo, please check it again."
Ding Guo: "No need, just check it out!"
Mosquito took a bundle and pulled out 18 bills and pushed them to Ding Guo. The rest was her profit. Then she inserted her thumbs into the middle of the bills, split it in two, and pushed it to Ding Guo: "Sister, no matter how much it is, it's my way of thanking you for promoting me. Your words are more valuable than this money!"
Ding Guo was stunned. What did you say?
In the time she was distracted, the mosquito jumped up and flew away.
When Ding Guo chased out, Mosquito had already carried the bike out of the door. He stepped onto the bike and rode out.
Ding Guo didn't dare to shout and could only watch the mosquito disappear into the dark alley.
She turned back and first dismantled the chicken and goose she had thrown in the corner and put them into the space.
Tying her mouth did have its advantages. There was no noise, and the light in the yard was dim, so Dazhu didn't notice what she brought back.
After putting away the chickens and geese, I went to see Mosquito and gave her the money separately. She nodded and it said 486.
Ding Guo was helpless, but also a little relieved that he did not misjudge the person.
But she couldn't remember which of her words were valuable.
I bundled up the 486 separately, wrapped it in oil paper, and put it into the space together with the other money.
Ding Guo went out, locked the courtyard gate from the outside, went in from the east gate, returned to the west courtyard and said something to Dazhu, then turned around and went back to the east courtyard.
The two little ones have already fallen asleep.
Ding Guo had long forgotten about lying to the kids, but she never expected that the two little ones would remember it until the next morning.
So, the children asked me to pay the bill early in the morning.
Ding Guo was changing Xiao Bao's diaper when Xiao Bao looked at his unscrupulous mother with his big black eyes and said, "Mom, it's delicious!"
Dabao was sleepy and didn't agree: "It's delicious, delicious!"
He climbed over from the kang using both hands and feet, stood up holding Ding Guo's clothes, and said in a low voice: "Mom, buy it."
Ding Guo's mouth twitched, and he said, "Buy it, buy it, put on your clothes first."
She could buy it now if she hadn't bought it yet, and there was no need to buy it now. She grabbed her bag, reached in and fiddled with it for a while, and took out the dumplings that Mosquito gave her yesterday. She hadn't tasted them yet.
She opened the lunch box lid like showing off a treasure and showed it to the two kids. She said without any shame, "Look, mom didn't lie to you, did she? Mom bought you dumplings, but the dumpling skins are made of unpaste. You are too young to digest dumplings. I will ask Grandma Qiao to make steamed egg custard for you later. After dinner, mom and uncle will take you out to play."
The two kids have good memories, but they are too old after all. If you ask them too complicated questions, their little brains won’t be able to figure it out. So they were confused by Ding Guo.
No longer thinking about delicious food, but instead thinking about going out for fun.
Ding Guo took the dumplings out and asked Aunt Qiao to heat them up so that everyone could taste them later.
When Ding Dazhu came over, he was warmly welcomed by the two little ones: "Uncle, come and play!"
Dragging Ding Dazhui and walking into the yard.
At breakfast, the mosquito dumplings were well received.
Aunt Qiao and Wang Chunhua both praised it highly.
Ding Guo was also amazed. He didn't expect that Mosquito was such a good cook.
After breakfast, Ding Guo and Da Zhu took the two kids to the post office and called Dayong at his workplace.
You definitely can't talk about the watch directly on the phone. Just say that you received it and it's not damaged.
Dayong knew that the goods transaction was successful and smooth.
A trip to the post office is equivalent to going out for fun. The two little ones are very satisfied, and Ding Guo is also satisfied. When she returns home, she lets Dazhu go to study next door while she looks after the two kids.
She is efficient in learning, but Dazhu does not have her enhanced brain and still needs to study hard.
Dabao and Xiaobao are very easy to take care of now. Just give them a toy and the two siblings can have a lot of fun playing with it by themselves.
Ding Guo laid out the tools and took out the ingredients for making bread and cake, preparing to make a batch of bread and some cakes.
After Aunt Qiao and Wang Chunhua cleaned up the house, they looked after the two children while helping Ding Guo. They also continued to learn from Ding Guo how to make homemade bread and cakes.
When the fragrance of bread filled the yard, Song Yuling came in carrying a large bag of locust flowers and two bundles of fresh toon shoots.
Ding Guo smiled and said, "That's perfect. After we finish baking the bread, we can make some Sophora japonica dumplings, some Sophora japonica pancakes, and some fried Chinese toon."
I didn’t have enough locust flower dumplings from this morning, so I’ll make some more.
Aunt Qiao smiled and said, "I'll go soak the locust flowers first."
Soak it for a few more times to make it easier to clean the loose soil on the surface.
After a weekend of eating and drinking and making a lot of money, the students returned to school to continue their classes.
As soon as June began, the learning atmosphere in school became tense.
Everyone is studying hard, preparing to compete for the scholarship at the end of the semester.
Ding Guo is rich, but the scholarship is not just a scholarship, it is also linked to personal honor, so she naturally will not miss this honor.
Yu Shaofen came to the school to find her. Ding Guo greeted her with surprise and enthusiastically took Aunt Yu to experience their cafeteria culture.
After successfully grabbing the dishes and taking a seat, Yu Shaofen shared a piece of news when they sat down to eat: "My ex-husband has finished his labor reform and has returned to Dazhang Village."
