Chapter 69 The Vendor
Chapter 69 The Vendor
Yin Ran was about the same age as Xiao Qunfang. She used to work in a state-owned enterprise, and because it was a special type of work, she retired at the age of forty-five.
Her husband, Ye Maoyuan, drove a truck and made some money, but because he spent a lot of money when he was young, he couldn't manage the money and didn't save anything.
Now that I am too old to run long distances, I drive a forklift in the company. Yin Ran finally survived and managed the other party's salary, and then she stopped.
This is why Yin Ran has been persuading Xiao Qunfang before: You have to be nice to your husband at home, as long as you stand firm, no matter how long the man "hangs around" outside, when he gets old and can't get up, he will eventually Back home, the family is still intact.
Isn't that the reason why young couples come to accompany each other when they grow old?
Let’s say that Yin Ran’s son and daughter graduated one after another two years ago, and they quickly found jobs through acquaintances.
Everything is going in a good direction. I thought it would be easy, only to find that there is still a lot of trouble behind.
The daughter was talking about friends, and the husband's family asked each of them to pay 100,000 yuan for the down payment of a house for the children.
Immediately afterwards, the son was talking about friends, and the woman asked for a house instead of living with her parents, and a 100,000 dowry.
One is that she simply can't afford that much money to buy a house now, and the other is, if this is a house for her son, what will her daughter do?
Yin Ran thought about it, this is the lifelong happiness of her son and daughter. Anyway, the son and daughter don't live with their elders, so it's not interesting for the two of them to live in a big house.
So the original big house of more than 120 square meters was replaced with a two-bedroom apartment of more than 50 square meters.
They each gave 100,000. They thought it would be over like this, but the two young couples just got married, and they had conflicts, going back to their mother's house from time to time and so on.
This comes and goes, spending money like running water, and there are some leftovers, which are basically consumed this year.
Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders: a husband who does his job well, has both children, a beautiful and stylish daughter-in-law, and a good-looking son-in-law, they all say she is a lucky one.
Only she knew that none of this was worry-free.
As a mother, be happy with pain.
So from Yin Ran's original intention, she also wanted to find a job.
She wanted to serve dishes and sweep the street, but her husband and children stopped her.
The husband said that although their family is not well-to-do now, it is considered average. He is still at work and asks her to serve the dishes, and others say that he is not good to his wife.
My sons and daughters said, now that they are all working and married, if you go to sweep the streets with dishes, what do others think of us?
Look for other "decent" jobs, or they don't have the skills, or they are old, and they don't want it.
When Qingu mentioned doing business just now, she was still a little moved, but after thinking about it carefully, she still felt that it was not safe.
Hearing what Yin Ran said, Qingu knew that the other party had actually thought about this matter carefully before, but because of some practical reasons, he didn't even take the first step.
She is not in a hurry. She will rest for two days and wait for her body to recover. At the same time, she can take the opportunity to investigate the market conditions.
Xiao Qunfang used to sell vegetables on a tricycle from the farmer's market on the other side of the county.
Then I often help people, such as weddings and weddings, moving things and so on. She doesn't look thin, but she has great strength, and her hands and feet are diligent and clean. Everyone likes to find her.
Overall, popularity is pretty good.
It's just that for Qingu, Xiao Qunfang's purchasing channels are too single, and he has never learned about the market in more places outside, and only lives in a fixed mode.
Now, she has to break the mold.
After Yin Ran left, Qingu ate some bread and milk, lay down and rested for a while, and then started to pack things.
Although this temporary rented hut is crude and crude, but no matter what, I have to straighten things out so that it looks pleasing to the eye.
After a busy day, it was evening.
This is the time for the evening market to start.
Qingu carried a small woven bag to the market.
Whether it's vegetables, fruits, fish, shrimp, or meat, I asked them one by one, and asked them where they bought them.
Of course, some street vendors are more talkative. Seeing that it was Xiao Qunfang, he told him what he knew with a few words of good-natured teasing.
And some feel that they are doing business with each other, so you come to ask the bottom line, aren't you deliberately poaching? Wave her away.
Qingu's memory is very good now, and he has a rough idea of the prices of various commodities without using pens and notebooks after walking around.
Half of the vegetables on the market are purchased from the farmer’s market. Most of the vegetables in the farmer’s market are transported from other places, and some are from local greenhouses.
As for the other half, they are all nearby farmers. They either sell the seasonal vegetables and fruits themselves, or they go to other people's homes to collect and sell them.
The price fluctuates between one or two yuan, but for those who often buy vegetables, they can go from the beginning to the end of the market for the price difference of one or two yuan.
In the evening, Qingu returned to the rental house and went to bed early, and got up after three o'clock the next day, riding a tricycle to the farmer's market in the county.
It was dark, and when we arrived, there were large trucks in the big square, and people were already working in full swing.
Those who place the goods are placed, and those who are over-weighed, either keep accounts or transfer money directly.
Most of the people who come here to buy are small vendors like Qingu, but they all use baskets as units, not retail sales.
Qingu walked around inside, asked around, and asked them about the source of their purchases by the way.
Generally, they will tell you where the goods come from, but some are too busy to ask you here and there.
By the way, Qingu brought in two baskets of long-lasting vegetables, which cost more than two hundred.
When I rushed back to the market, it happened to be in the morning market, and people came to sell vegetables one after another.
When passing by the Qingu booth, some familiar people will say hello.
"Sister Xiao is here to sell vegetables again, haven't I seen you a few days ago?"
Qingu responded with a smile: "Something happened at home a few days ago, look at this is the new product I bought this morning, I didn't fetch water, it's still fresh, how about some?"
Water is poured on the dishes, one is for the dishes to look juicy and beautiful, and I am afraid that it will affect the appearance. Second, it can also have a little more weight.
Don't look at the small amount, if you deduct a little bit in each link, the overall calculation will be more, and this is what the small stalls and hawkers earn, otherwise they wouldn't say "care about every detail".
If some dishes are filled with water, if you can’t finish them on the same day, they will go bad the next day, so many people don’t like to buy water-filled dishes.
Qingu took out the electronic scale, adjusted the price, and placed the vegetables. Both parties could see the weight of the price, which was a full catty. At the end, they even erased the change, and took a shallot from the side by the way.
Although it may actually be the same price and the price is similar to other stalls, this shopping experience is different.
Qingu is a fine person, with a perfect way of dealing with people, even as a small street vendor, he can get along like a fish in water.
