Regardless, she was still very happy that she had finally bought the cotton.
Those queuing behind her were disappointed when they saw that she had bought everything.
But no one caused trouble; they all left quickly.
After all, everyone knows the rules here: first come, first served. If you don't buy anything, it's your own problem. You can only hope to come earlier next time.
Seeing this, Su He breathed a sigh of relief and carried the troublesome items to browse other stalls.
She soon saw many more items she wanted to buy, and without hesitation, she bought all the ones that seemed suitable, since the opportunity was rare.
I bought a pair of old-fashioned Beijing cloth shoes for each of the elderly people in my family. The soles are very soft and they are comfortable to wear.
If she hadn't felt that the shoes didn't fit well and weren't suitable for her to wear to work, she would have bought herself a pair too.
She bought another piece of gray fabric, intending to make a dress for Lin Jingyan when she got back. On her way out, she saw a piece of floral fabric, white with red flowers. Although it wasn't her type, she thought about it and bought it anyway.
I didn't forget to buy some soft pastries from the food factory workers, as they can all be enjoyed by the elderly and children in my family.
After wandering around for a while, I spent quite a bit of money, and the sack I brought was already half full.
Seeing that it was almost time to meet Wang Yun, Su He reluctantly left.
When she came out, Wang Yun was already waiting for her at the gate.
Seeing that she was carrying two burlap sacks, one large and one small, I didn't know what to say.
Her lips twitched, but she couldn't help but say, "There will be more in ten days, there's no need to buy so much at once."
Su He smiled and explained, "I didn't buy many things. It looks like a lot because that big sack is full of cotton. My relatives all need it, so I bought more."
After hearing this, Wang Yun understood. "Then you're lucky. The cotton sellers always sell out very quickly when they come. It's already quite impressive that you were able to buy this much."
Su He smiled, and after hearing her say that, she no longer felt it was expensive.
Looking at Wang Yun, she had only bought fine grains and the like. Considering she had several children, I figured she was buying them for them, so I didn't ask any further questions.
Soon, the two walked out of that alley. Strangely, they still didn't see many people on the road. How did so many people get in and out of there?
Seemingly noticing her question, Wang Yun explained, "The location of that courtyard is unique. It's surrounded by alleys, and there are several paths leading in. Everyone takes a different route, so the chances of them crowding together are very small."
Su He understood after hearing this, "So you can only take this route every time?"
Wang Yun nodded. "Yes, that's why the gatekeeper recognizes me. If I change my route, the gatekeeper won't recognize me anymore, and I won't be able to get in."
After hearing this, Su He finally understood. No wonder! This way, not only would it be easier to manage, but it would also allow for quick evacuation should something happen.
She was increasingly impressed with the person who organized the exchange, but she didn't ask who it was; she knew they must be someone extraordinary.
However, there was one thing she was curious about: "Since there is an organizer, how does he maintain it? I didn't see anyone collecting money from the time I came in until I came out, but don't the gatekeepers and the people patrolling the yard need to collect management fees?"
Wang Yun smiled after hearing this, "Of course we charge money, but only for the stalls. We don't charge for buying things. Most of the money comes from the vendors. I heard that the fees here are higher than those at the Black Market, but because it's safe, many people still like to come here."
Su He understood immediately. No wonder. She knew it! With such a good venue and such strict management, how could it be done for nothing?
All I can say is that this manager is incredibly clever.
