Yun Jin was going south with Li Aimei, and Xiao Niangao wanted to go too after she found out.
Yun Jin tried to persuade her, but Xiao Niangao still insisted on following, saying, "I will be good, I won't cry or make a fuss, and I won't be a burden to Mommy. Mommy, can you take care of me?"
Yun Jin could only look at Mother He.
Madam He understood Yun Jin's meaning and nodded: "Okay, I'll go with you. You go take care of your business, and I'll take Xiao Niangao with me."
And so, what started as two people going out ended up being four.
Little Bean Bun wanted to follow, but Father He held onto the leash, saying, "You can forget about it, but this old man has to keep you company. If no one else can, the dog will!"
Little Bean Bun: Woof!
Don't be a left-behind dog!
She was already very familiar with taking the train, and Xiao Niangao treated it like a vacation rather than an errand. She was very happy, and anyone who didn't know her would think she was going to visit her father at his post!
When the train arrived in Guangzhou, a wave of heat hit them, and Yun Jin and the others, who were wearing thick clothes, sweaters, and cotton-padded jackets, immediately changed into long sleeves.
Then I noticed that some people were wearing short sleeves, and realized that long sleeves were a bit too hot.
Mother He said, "It's really hot in Guangzhou!"
Little Niangao wiped the sweat from her forehead, stared at Yun Jin with her big, bright eyes, and smiled ingratiatingly: "It's so hot! It would be even better if we had an ice pop, Mom, don't you think so!"
Before long, the group was eating popsicles, and the glaring sun didn't feel so hot anymore.
Yun Jin knew where the clothing wholesale markets were back then. Gaodi Street and Zhuangyuan Street were definitely the places to go. Shangxiajiu was built later, and now it was basically located on Gaodi Street near the train station.
They were carrying large bags and small packages, so instead of going to the wholesale market, they went directly to the guesthouse.
At this point, a letter of introduction is also required; without one, they cannot stay at the guesthouse.
After checking the letter of introduction and finding no problems, we booked them a room, a standard room that could accommodate four people.
After putting their things down, Yun Jin took Xiao Niangao and Li Aimei to take a hot bath.
Mother He rested in the room for a while, and when they came out after washing up, Yun Jin watched over Mother He, while Li Aimei took Xiao Niangao in the room. After Mother He finished washing up, she washed the dirty clothes and hung them on the balcony.
It's hot here, so it dried quickly.
If I take it home to wash, the clothes will probably be ruined.
After washing up, everyone was hungry, so they went to find something to eat nearby. They saw a place that served morning tea, and Yun Jin led the group inside, where they ordered a lot of exquisite dim sum and porridge.
Pork rib congee, preserved egg and lean pork congee, fish congee, etc.
Yun Jin ordered their favorite dishes.
While eating the shrimp dumplings, Mrs. He said, "These shrimp dumplings taste pretty good."
Little Rice Cake said, "Mommy, this bag is so soft!"
Li Aimei took a bite of the Malay cake and nodded: "It's so soft and sweet."
"We'll come again next time if we like it!" Yun Jin knew they were very satisfied with the meal.
When the lychee wood-roasted chicken was served, everyone felt it was just as good as roast duck, and they all ate with great relish, not wasting a single bite.
When it came time to pay, Li Aimei didn't expect it to be so expensive.
Little Rice Cake doesn't care much about money; as long as it tastes good, that's enough.
Mrs. He didn't expect this meal to be so expensive.
Fortunately, they didn't need food coupons or meat coupons, otherwise there really wouldn't be enough for them to eat.
Yun Jin was wealthy and knew that dim sum stalls were like this; the prices were much cheaper than later, and as long as it tasted good, that was enough.
After a good meal, you can see lychee trees, longan trees, and mango trees everywhere. They haven't borne fruit yet, but the branches are already in bloom. When summer comes, you can enjoy lychees, longans, and mangoes.
After sending Mrs. He and the others back home for a nap, Yun Jin and Li Aimei quietly went out. They were going to check out the Gaodi Street wholesale market; that was their real purpose for coming out this time.
When Li Aimei arrived at Gaodi Street, she was amazed by the dazzling array of clothes, shoes, socks, and trinkets.
Yun Jin came mainly to wholesale men's and women's clothing, as well as sandals and bags.
Don't underestimate the speed at which China has grown, even though it's only been a few years since the reform and opening up began. The changes in our lives are beyond our imagination. Everything from clothing and food to housing and transportation has undergone tremendous changes, and the same is true for the goods in the wholesale market.
They basically all have a Hong Kong style.
Yun Jin, a person from a later era, was very knowledgeable about the fashion trends of this time. When she saw a style of clothing she liked, she immediately bargained with the shop owner, saying that she had opened a very large store.
If possible, we can cooperate long-term in the future.
Li Aimei followed Yun Jin, watching her haggle back and forth with the wholesaler, arguing and bickering over a few cents, and secretly admired her sister-in-law.
Even though disco makes so much money, she's still reluctant to part with even a penny or two.
In one afternoon, Yun Jin negotiated with three shops for men's and women's clothing, as well as leather bags and sandals. She paid the deposit, gave them the addresses, and they packed the goods and delivered them to the train station.
When the train arrives in Beijing, there will be someone specifically assigned to receive the goods, so there's no fear of them getting lost.
The shipping cost is a bit expensive.
Yun Jin didn't care, as long as she didn't have to carry it back herself.
I left my phone number, so I can get any new styles from the wholesaler with just one call.
Li Aimei had a few hundred yuan in her hand. She couldn't afford to open a clothing factory, so she thought about starting a small business.
Yun Jin suggested that she start with small accessories, such as baguettes, hair ties, silk flowers, shark clips, hairpins, and earrings, which would be good at this age.
Following Yun Jin's advice, Li Aimei spent all the money she brought on purchasing goods. The two of them went shopping and returned home with their bags full.
By the time they returned to the guesthouse, it was almost dark. Mother He was waiting for them with Xiao Niangao.
As soon as they appeared, Little Rice Cake rushed over, asking, "Where did Mommy go?"
