Walking with a load is very different from walking with nothing. This time, Zheng Dandan and others took an hour and a half to get to the town bus station, and they were all exhausted and out of breath.
"Wow, you brought so many things!" The ticket seller said in surprise as he watched the Zheng family and their group get on the bus.
"I'm visiting relatives and bringing back some local specialties from home," Zheng Dandan explained with a smile on her face. The higher-ups only tacitly approved it, so it couldn't be publicized.
"You need to buy an extra ticket since you have so many things with you," the ticket seller told Zheng Dandan.
Sun Cuilan was a little unhappy, but Zheng Dandan understood. After all, the bus was almost full of their things, so she happily took out three cents and handed it to the conductor.
"What are you doing for her!" Sun Cuilan whispered to Zheng Dandan, her face full of heartache.
"Mom, just give it to me. It's just a ticket. If business goes well, we can earn countless tickets. Besides, we are not just dealing with each other today. If we have an unpleasantness with the ticket seller, will we still be able to do business in the future?" Zheng Dandan patiently explained to Sun Cuilan. She didn't want Sun Cuilan to suffer a big loss for taking advantage of a small advantage one day.
Sun Cuilan thought Zheng Dandan's words made sense, and imagined the benefits that a successful transaction would bring, which made her feel much better.
There weren't many cars on the road these days, so there was almost no risk of traffic jams. It still took half an hour for the bus to arrive at the county town and slowly stop.
"Sorry for bothering you." Zheng Dandan handed the ticket seller fifty cents and said when getting off the bus.
"What are you doing? I can't accept it." The ticket seller refused.
"Don't worry, it's hard work pay. We carried so many things up and down, thanks to your help." Zheng Dandan behaved very frankly.
After all, it was only fifty cents. The ticket seller was already tempted, and after hearing what Zheng Dandan said, he accepted it reluctantly.
"My daughter, why are you giving her money again?" Sun Cuilan was puzzled, and the other people in the Zheng family also looked at Zheng Dandan in confusion.
"First of all, she did help us. Secondly, can we visit relatives every day? After a long time, even if others don't tell them, the ticket seller and the driver will definitely know what we do. It's better to pay a little money to bribe them, which may avoid a lot of trouble. Don't be reluctant to spend money when doing business." Zheng Dandan replied.
"You haven't even earned any money yet, but you've already spent several dollars." Fang Xiaoyu, the second sister-in-law, said with concern. She couldn't understand Zheng Dandan's extravagance, considering the car fare and the fees.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, you will earn it back. Let's start now and act separately." Zheng Dandan said with a smile, looking very confident.
What happened next did not disappoint Zheng Dandan's confidence. Before she even started hawking, someone came up to her and asked, "What do you have, little girl?"
Perhaps it was because Zheng Dandan was smiling and gave people a very friendly feeling. Sun Cuilan was clearly there, but the visitors always asked about her.
"Apples and oranges are 1.2 yuan per pound, no ticket required, you can take a look." Zheng Dandan opened the cloth covering the backpack and showed it to the visitor.
"Give me two pounds of apples!" Seeing the rosy and plump apples, the visitor swallowed them instantly. The fruity aroma filled his nose. They were better than those sold in department stores. The key was that they were cheap and no ticket was required.
There is no shortage of rich people in the county town, and luxury goods such as fruits have always been very popular.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Dandan immediately handed over two kilograms of apples. All the goods had been packed in advance, one kilogram at a time. "The oranges are also very sweet. Would you like some?"
"Give me a pound!" The man was a little hesitant at first, but when he heard Zheng Dandan's question, he felt embarrassed to refuse and said through gritted teeth.
After receiving a positive answer, Zheng Dandan immediately handed over a pound of oranges for 3.6 yuan.
“Are they selling apples here?”
After the previous customer left, sharp-eyed passers-by saw him and immediately came forward.
"Yes, we sell apples and oranges, both are 1.2 yuan per pound, no ticket required." Zheng Dandan answered in a loud voice, and more interested people came forward.
Almost everyone who is interested in apples and citrus fruits will buy Zheng Dandan’s products. They like to eat them anyway, and Zheng Dandan’s products are cheap and of good quality, so there is no reason not to buy them.
"I'll have a pound of apples."
"I want a pound of oranges!"
"Give me two pounds of apples too."
The people who gathered around were talking at once.
Although Sun Cuilan didn't look friendly, she was very efficient. After the people who gathered around her expressed their needs, Sun Cuilan immediately handed over the corresponding products, and they exchanged money and received the goods. This time, it only took five minutes, and dozens of kilograms of fruit were sold out. This didn't even include Zheng Dandan who took advantage of Sun Cuilan's inattention and directly picked up the goods through the supermarket system.
"My daughter, we still don't bring enough. If we could bring more, how much would it sell for?" Sun Cuilan sighed with lingering feelings.
People are greedy. Although she was happy that the transaction was completed quickly, she felt more regretful.
"Be content with what you have. Selling these is enough." Zheng Dandan looked at Sun Cuilan and instilled in her what she thought was the right idea. "Quick action, quick decision. Bringing more may not necessarily mean we can sell it quickly. As long as the higher-ups don't announce that we can do business, our actions will be risky."
"My daughter is smart, so I'll listen to her!" Sun Cuilan thought it made sense and said proudly.
"Let's go find Dad and the others and see how they are doing." Zheng Dandan suggested. Because she and Sun Cuilan were the only group without men, they hardly moved around after getting off the bus, and everyone else had to walk further away to find a suitable location.
"Okay." Sun Cuilan agreed.
Although the exact location was not certain, the general direction was discussed before they separated.
Soon, Zheng Dandan and Sun Cuilan saw Zheng's father who was surrounded.
"Don't rush, we have them all." Dad Zheng was a little overwhelmed by himself. His vegetables were fresh and juicy, and the prices were cheap, so they were naturally very attractive.
Seeing this, Sun Cuilan and Zheng Dandan immediately stepped forward to help.
With the support of Sun Cuilan and her daughter, the chaotic scene quickly returned to order. Dozens of kilograms of vegetables were sold out in less than ten minutes.
"It's a good thing you came. They are so enthusiastic." Zheng's father sighed. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to sell it at first, but when he quoted the price, the crazy crowd dispelled his doubts.
"Third brother is alone too. Let's go find him quickly. He may be too busy." Zheng Dandan looked at Zheng's father Sun Cuilan and said.
The things in her store are very affordable, and the problems that Zheng's father encountered are likely to be encountered by his third brother Zheng Jianjun as well.
Sure enough, when they found Zheng Jianjun, he had a stern face and was scolding the crowd surrounding him.
"Come one by one, no crowding! If you keep arguing, don't buy anything!" Third brother Zheng Jianjun was furious. After the people around him learned the prices of salt and rapeseed oil, they surrounded him like crazy and demanded it. The cacophony of demands made his head buzz.
"Everyone line up. If there's no one today, come back tomorrow. It's not a good idea to crowd like this. If the noise gets too loud, we'll just have to not come tomorrow." Zheng Dandan trotted forward and said to the crowd.
