Yunyan followed the salesperson to the back warehouse. After confirming that Yunyan wanted a watch worth fifty yuan, the salesperson asked to see the payment.
Yunyan came out today with a suitcase, originally planning to go directly to the train station after buying something.
She opened her suitcase as a cover and took out more than 5,000 yuan from the space. The salesperson saw Yunyan's money and no longer had any concerns, so he took her to choose a watch.
Yun Yan was selecting watches one by one from a pile of watches. During a casual chat, she found out that these watches were scratched because of a traffic accident during transportation.
Customers will definitely not want defective products, so in order to recover the losses, they can only sell those watches with less serious problems at a lower price.
After choosing fifty watches, the salesperson brought Yunyan a box to put them in. After paying, Yunyan left with the box. After reaching a deserted place, Yunyan quickly put the box into the space.
Looking at the time, Yun Yan saw that the train was about to depart in an hour, so she hurried to the train station.
After rushing for a long time, she finally arrived in the last three minutes before the train departed. After getting on the train, Yun Yan quickly found her seat and sat down.
She could take the fifty watches back to Jing County and sell them to Li Chunsheng, or she could sell them herself. If each watch was sold for 180 yuan, she could earn about 4,000 yuan.
This makes money much faster than selling loaches and eels. She also knows that she is lucky this time, and she doesn't know when she will have such an opportunity again.
After returning to Jing County, she went directly to the black market to find Li Chunsheng. If he could offer 180 yuan for each watch, she wouldn't have to look for people to sell it to.
"Sister, why did you come here so early this year? Are there loaches and eels for sale now?" Li Chunsheng asked Yun Yan curiously when he saw her.
"How can it be so fast? I came to you today to discuss another business with you." Yun Yan replied.
"What business? Did you get rice and flour again?" Li Chunsheng asked happily.
"You don't have to worry about rice and flour, but I went to Hai City this time and brought back a batch of watches. I wonder if you are interested." Yun Yan said with a smile.
"Watch? That's a good thing, sister. I wonder if you brought any samples so that I can see the quality." Li Chunsheng said quickly.
Watches are also good things. Nowadays, weddings require three watches and one ring. Watches are a must-have item for weddings.
Yun Yan opened the suitcase and took out the ten watches that she had put in there earlier.
Li Chunsheng picked it up and took a look. Although there were some scratches and scrapes on it, they were basically invisible if you didn't look carefully. Moreover, the brand of the watch was produced by a famous watch factory in Hai City.
"Girl, all these watches have scratches on them. They must be processed products." Li Chunsheng said with pretended disgust.
Although the item is good, I still have to find some flaws with it, otherwise how can I bargain if she asks for an exorbitant price?
"Boss Li, aren't you asking this question even though you already know the answer? If it wasn't a clearance item, I could sell it for dozens of dollars at a time. But I don't have that many industrial invoices," said Yun Yan.
Li Chunsheng smiled after hearing her words and then said, "Sister, how much do you plan to sell this watch for?"
"We have been cooperating for such a long time, so I won't quote you a price. It's one hundred and ninety yuan each. If you want it, I'll give you the full forty yuan." Yun Yan said.
"Sister, one hundred and ninety is too expensive. I want all one hundred and sixty!" Li Chunsheng began to bargain.
In the end, the two of them reached a deal at a price of one hundred and seventy-five dollars each. Yun Yan first gave him the ten dollars for the suitcase, and then said she would go outside to get the remaining thirty dollars.
Yun Yan walked around outside, then counted thirty watches from the space, put them in a bag, and returned to the black market.
Li Chunsheng looked at all the watches and gave the money to Yunyan after confirming that there was no problem.
This time, Yun Yan earned a total of 2,760 yuan, and had ten watches left. Yun Yan decided to take them back to the Hongqi Brigade to see if anyone in the village wanted them. It would be fine even if she sold them to them at the original price.
After Yunyan returned to the brigade, she gave the villagers the dried shrimp and fish they had asked her to buy. She also took a few watches to the brigade office, intending to ask the brigade leader if they wanted them.
The watches Hai Shi brought back were half men's and half women's, so this time she also kept five men's and five women's watches.
The team leader and his companions were overwhelmed by the watches Yunyan brought back. Yunyan also mentioned that each watch was only 110 yuan, and no industrial stamps were required. The team leader and the accountant each requested one on the spot. The accountant, noticing a women's watch, bought one for her daughter as a dowry.
Only then did Yun Yan know that the accountant's daughter was getting married again, and her husband was an ordinary farmer in Liuyuan Brigade.
The man was a widower. His previous wife had died of childbirth complications two years ago, leaving behind a daughter.
The two of them had fallen in love at a market, so they started living together. His daughter didn't dislike him, and the accountant couldn't say anything. Moreover, he had inquired and found that the family had a good reputation in Liuyuan Brigade.
Yun Yan felt sad after hearing this. The accountant's daughter had hurt herself in her first marriage because of her poor judgment of the man. She hoped that she could have a happy marriage this time.
Soon everyone in the village knew that Yunyan had brought back a watch from Hai City, and those who wanted to buy a watch came to find her.
The five women's watches were sold out quickly. Yang Qian and Wang Fang each took one, the village party secretary's daughter also took one, and one was sold to a family in the village who was looking to get married.
They snatched away all five men's watches in the brigade office. When other villagers heard the news, they could only beat their chests and blame themselves for coming too late.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the Spring Festival of 1976. Yun Yan knew that the mighty Cultural Revolution was about to end, and the darkness before dawn was the craziest.
Yun Yan decided to keep a low profile this year. Fortunately, the people living in the cowshed were all alive and well, and their hard days were almost over.
In the past few years, Shen Ye came to the Red Flag Brigade once, and he came as her cousin. He stayed for only three days before leaving.
The Hongqi Brigade has also undergone significant changes. The former workshop has now become a processing plant, and many villagers have built brick and tile houses.
Since last year, at Yunyan's suggestion, the team leader has taught the other teams how to make sweet potato vermicelli. After all, the Red Flag Brigade has become the wealthiest brigade in the area thanks to its sweet potato vermicelli products. If they continue to hold on to this product, it will probably cause public outrage.
Just like before, they were only responsible for teaching the technique and not for sales. But they didn't ask them to sign a guarantee that they would not be allowed to sell their sweet potato vermicelli in places where Chunhe vermicelli was sold.
Sweet potato vermicelli is now a household food in China, and the quality and prices of sweet potato vermicelli on the market vary.
Wang Fang also got married, marrying an orphan from the brigade whose parents had both died. The two of them lived happily together, and Wang Fang gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, last year.
