Seeing that Jiang Cong didn't talk to her, Zhang Lanlan finally couldn't hold back the smile on her face and remained quiet for a while.
She just didn't believe that now that she had a job, she could be inferior to Qin Man, a woman who did nothing but eat for free.
What else does she have besides a vixen's face?
But Jiang Cong felt that Zhang Lanlan was a very scheming woman. Ever since she pushed Qin Man into the reservoir last time, he knew that this woman was cruel and ruthless.
It was she who drugged him before, which made him do something that was unfair to Manman. Just like this time, he didn't see it with his own eyes, so he had no evidence and couldn't argue with Zhang Lanlan.
Moreover, Zhang Lanlan's father is the village chief, and their family will have to continue living in the village in the future, so he can only endure it for the time being.
Jiang Cong looked at Qin Man's profile and felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. After all, it was a blessing in disguise for him. If he had not had a relationship with her by accident, there would not have been such well-behaved children like Xiao Li and Xiao Yu.
He did not regret bringing her home, nor did he regret having a child with her. Everything was God's best arrangement.
The bus drove to a section of road where the conditions were not very good. There were many potholes everywhere, and the people in the car were shaking all over.
Jiang Cong held Qin Man's hand caringly to steady her body. These small details were really heart-warming.
Zhang Lanlan was so jealous watching from the side that she was so angry that her fingers were turning white while holding the seat in front of her.
The bus shook for more than an hour and finally entered the county. Zhang Lanlan got off the bus early because it was closer to the hotel.
Jiang Cong and Qin Man didn't get off the bus until it arrived at the bus station.
Next to the bus station is the farmers' market, which sells everything.
Jiang Cong found an open space to set up his stall with his basket. There were many vegetable vendors nearby. They were surprised to see the big, red persimmons in Jiang Cong's basket.
"It's only what month now, and the persimmons are already ripe?"
It would take at least a month for persimmons to ripen, but they were ripe now, which everyone found very strange.
"This is an imported variety, much sweeter than local persimmons, so it matures quickly. You can tell by the color, it's sweet, tastes good, and has a small core!" Qin Man's business mind instantly came online.
Exaggeration can attract other people's attention.
Sure enough, several women who were passing by to buy groceries stopped and looked at the young couple, who were very pleasing to the eyes because of their handsomeness.
"Are your persimmons really an imported variety? Can they be delicious?" one of the women asked.
"Of course. Local persimmons are only available after September. These are from other provinces. If you don't believe me, try one. If it tastes good, you can always buy more!"
Qin Man picked up a persimmon and handed it to her. The woman took it and wiped it carefully with her finger before eating it.
After she finished eating, she smiled and nodded, then said to the people around her:
"Yeah, they are indeed very sweet and delicious. How do you sell these persimmons?"
The wild persimmons are exposed to sufficient sunlight, so they are large in size. The liquor fully catalyzes their sweetness. Qin Man tasted it herself, so she is so confident that it will sell well!
"Not by weight, five cents each, just pick as many as you want!"
Persimmons are sold at a few cents per pound in the market, and there are only a few per pound, so five cents per piece is reasonable.
When she was about to make her first deal, Qin Man realized that she didn't buy any plastic bags, and she felt a little embarrassed.
Jiang Cong immediately explained to the guests:
"Would you mind waiting for two minutes?"
The young man is very handsome and the older ladies all give him face.
"It's okay, go ahead, we're not in a hurry!"
Jiang Cong turned around and went to the wholesale shop behind to buy plastic bags. During the process, Qin Man compensated them.
"I'm sorry, my beautiful sisters, this is my first time doing business and I'm not well prepared, please don't take it personally!"
Several women were instantly delighted when they were called beautiful sisters. Which woman doesn’t like to hear nice words?
"This girl is so sweet, and the boy is very polite!" one of the older sisters praised. ..
Qin Man, this clever little girl, also knew that college students were the most popular in this era, and that there were not many college students from a small county town, so she pretended to be uncomfortable and said:
"My sisters don't know, but my brother is still in college, and our family is poor. School is about to start again, so he has to earn his living expenses and travel expenses by himself!"
"Hey, that's your brother. I thought you two were a couple. Is he a college student? It's good to be a college student. You will have a bright future after graduation!"
Qin Man smiled embarrassedly. Could she say that they were husband and wife?
But this miserable character cannot be destroyed.
When they heard that they were college students, other passers-by also stopped to join in the fun.
"Which university are you from?" someone asked.
"It's from the No. 1 Normal School in the city!" Qin Man quickly replied.
"From the First Normal University, that's amazing, it's a famous university!" The man was very surprised.
Those who can get into the First Normal School must have some real skills!
"Girl, just wait. It will only be a few years of hard work. Your family's blessings are still to come!"
When Jiang Cong came back with a bunch of plastic bags, he saw a lot of people surrounding his stall.
"Give me a bag so I can buy some to feed the kids!" the oldest sister shouted first.
"Give me one too!"
"And me!"
Everyone rushed to buy persimmons, not for any other reason but just to help this college student whose family was not well off.
"Okay!" Qin Man took the plastic bag from Jiang Cong's hand and distributed it to everyone.
She also winked at Jiang Cong playfully, and Jiang Cong's heart skipped a beat at her expression.
In a short while, most of the basket of persimmons were sold out, and almost everyone who gathered there bought a few persimmons to take home.
Jiang Cong collected the money while those people looked at him with admiration.
"You have a bright future, young man! Keep working hard!"
Jiang Cong was confused and had no idea what was going on. He just smiled and nodded politely.
Qin Man, the person involved, was in a good mood and was smiling vigorously, with two sweet little pear-shaped faces showing.
When the guests saw such a vibrant girl, they were also infected by her smile.
"It's delicious. Come again! Bye!"
Jiang Cong looked at Qin Man, and his heart seemed to be filled with something.
After that, many people came one after another, all attracted by this foreign "variety" of persimmons, and soon the 200 persimmons were sold out.
I earned ten dollars in total, so easy!
Jiang Congman admired Qin Man's eloquence. He sold the persimmons quickly with his little chatterbox.
He earned ten dollars in just one morning, which was much faster than what he could earn in several days writing articles for the newspaper.
"Let's go back! Come back tomorrow!"
Qin Man put the remaining plastic bags into the empty basket.
