848: Become a wealthy woman
The first time Yu Jiahui went to sell goods, he was very worried, fearing that gangsters would come to cause trouble, so he deliberately chose his day off to go sell with Xu Ying.
The two of them got up early and left home before eating. They pushed their bicycles out and came to Caishikou.
A few years ago, some black market elements would resell some things nearby, but they were sneaky at that time, fearing that they would be caught.
In recent years, the atmosphere has become more open and people are no longer afraid of being arrested. They have started to set up stalls openly, and a free market has gradually formed. Many people come here to do business.
Xu Ying used to come here often to buy things, so he was familiar with the tricks of the trade. After he arrived, he opened the two large sacks on the back seat of his bicycle, took out a pile of dried fish and dried shrimp, placed them on an enamel tea tray, and then held the tea tray and whispered:
"Come, dried fish, top-quality dried fish, come and have a look and taste it. If it doesn't taste good, you don't have to pay for it—"
"Come, dried shrimps, dried shrimps from the south, there's no other place like it here. Come take a look and try them, they're free, come and try them—"
As soon as they heard that there was a free tasting, all the old men and women who came to the morning market gathered around.
Xu Ying looked at the Master and immediately started promoting her products:
"Big sister, please take a look at these dried shrimps of mine. I brought them all the way from the south. They are all good goods that cannot be found on the market. I guarantee that you can't find such good shrimps as mine anywhere else. They are cooked and can be eaten directly. You can buy them home and give them to your grandson as a snack or as a nutritional supplement. I guarantee that your grandson will grow taller and become a top-notch student after eating them. These dried shrimps are rich in nutritional value. Children will not get sick after eating them, and the elderly can supplement calcium after eating them. In the future, they will no longer have back pain or leg pain. Everything they eat will taste delicious and they will be in great health—"
Yu Jiahui, listening to Xu Ying's increasingly exaggerated boasting, thought that if she continued, she would be as good as a panacea. He quickly poked Xu Ying from behind:
"Stop it! Stop bragging! If someone actually believes you and buys you medicine to treat their illness, you'll be a fraud."
Xu Ying then changed her words:
"Come on, try it, it's free!"
It was the first time they saw someone offering free tastings regardless of whether they bought anything or not. These old men and women immediately surrounded their bicycles.
When other people came and saw so many people gathered here, they became curious and came to watch. Then more and more people gathered and watched the fun.
With so many people, you can always meet a few who know what they are doing and are willing to spend money.
So Xu Ying's stall opened soon.
This was a good start, and Xu Ying worked harder, and business naturally became easier in the future.
Soon, Xu Ying's stall became the stall with the most traffic in the free market.
The other vendors who came to sell things forgot what they were doing and gathered around to watch the fun.
After a morning market, two-thirds of the dried fish were sold and half of the dried shrimp were sold.
Xu Ying watched as the crowd gradually dwindled. Her bag was already bulging with money. She tied up the sack with a smile.
"Let's go home and come back when we get off work at noon."
The two returned home happily. After arriving home, Yu Jiahui filled two more sacks, and Xu Ying counted the money earned from selling dried fish in the house.
Just as I was about to finish calculating, Yu Jiahui came in. Seeing the piles of money on the table, he asked:
"How much did you earn?"
Xu Ying wrote down a number in the account book and showed it to Yu Jiahui.
It says: The total revenue from selling dried fish and shrimp is 178 yuan.
"One hundred and seventy-eight? That's a lot!" Yu Jiahui was very surprised.
Xu Ying couldn't close her mouth with laughter:
"This is all ours, there is no cost, no matter how much it sells, it's all ours!"
"Yes, the key is that you don't have to travel thousands of miles to other places to purchase goods like others do. Just this one thing saves you a lot of trouble."
Xu Ying looked at his pile of money and smiled:
"If I keep going like this, I'll be a millionaire in a few months."
Yu Jiahui said with emotion:
"I never thought that you would be the first one in our family to get rich. Others worked hard to start their own business, but they couldn't make as much money as you did selling fish."
"Fuck you, don't insult me. I'm just trying to make some quick money. Starting a business is the real deal. We're not even on the same level."
"No, I just think you're awesome, and your whole family is the best!"
Yu Jiahui flattered Xu Ying without any reason, which made Xu Ying angry and amused.
Around ten o'clock in the morning, the two of them pushed their bicycles and took two full sacks to the free market in Caishikou, where they waited for people who were going to buy vegetables after work.
Business at noon is better than in the morning, with many young people coming out to buy things.
Young people are more generous with money and understand nutrition. When Xu Ying praised the benefits of eating shrimp to them, they all spent several dollars as if the money was picked up on the street.
Moreover, dried shrimp is indeed very rare. Many people have never even seen it, but they still want to buy some to try.
Therefore, during this lunch trip, the dried shrimps sold better, and the whole bag of dried shrimps was almost sold out.
The last bit that was left was also sold at a discount.
At noon, Xu Ying closed his stall and went home. After counting the money, he found that he had earned more than in the morning, a total of 232 yuan.
By the next day, all the four sacks that Xu Ying brought out from the space were sold, with a total revenue of 622 yuan.
Adding the money he earned from selling mountain products some time ago, Xu Ying earned more than 1,300 yuan during this period.
Instantly became a wealthy woman.
Having tasted the sweetness of making money, Xu Ying did not stop. On the day when she finished selling the goods, she packed her bags again with full of fighting spirit and said to Cuihua:
"Cuihua, take care of the house. I'm going out to buy some supplies for a few days."
Cuihua was about to say something when Xu Ying took out fifty yuan and handed it to Cuihua:
"When I'm not at home, don't bother cooking. Just buy food. Let your second child or your dad go out to buy breakfast. You can take the children out for lunch. You can cook dinner if you want. If you don't want to, buy it. Don't wash your clothes by yourself. There are people who help with laundry in the yard next door.
"Is it okay? You can pay someone to wash it for you. The fifty yuan will be enough for a few days. It's more important to look after the children. You can do the housework if you want."
“——”
Cuihua took the money, but before she could say anything, Xu Ying threw the bag behind him and left in a cool manner.
After leaving the house, I went to my daughter's ocean space to purchase goods.
This time, Yu Jiahui helped her get a blender, and she bought twenty clay jars for making pickles, intending to make more shrimp paste.
-------
Everything in the capital was proceeding according to plan. On the way to the northwest, a military Jiefang truck and a jeep were escorting 39 prisoners from the capital, one in front and one behind, walking in the loess basin.
The further northwest you go, the hotter and more desolate it becomes.
As far as the eye can see, there are bare mountains. The sky is shining with dazzling sunlight, scorching everything on the ground.
