Chapter 9: sell things
Su Xiaomei made a fuss about going, but Su Wen glared at her, she shrank her shoulders like a little sheep and dared not speak.
Su Wen softened her heart and took Su Xiaomei with her.
This girl is six years old, and she doesn\'t go to school. Playing in the village is often bullied by Niu Niu and a group of brats, leaving her alone at home is really worrying.
From Sanjiaying Village to Qingshui County, there is a twelve-mile road to go.
The two sisters carried their parcels on their backs, and went out before dawn, rushing non-stop along the way, and arrived in the city at just the right time.
Su Wen hadn\'t seen the county town in 1980. As soon as she entered the city, she looked around curiously, silently thinking about the plot in the novel.
At this time, there is no farmers market that specifically recommends the free trade of agricultural and sideline products.
According to the timeline of the original text, the farmer\'s market will not be established until 1981 when the production is divided into households.
In other words, if you want to buy or sell things, you are not allowed, you can only go to the black market secretly.
"Sister, there are people on patrol." Su Xiaomei has never sold anything, and she is very guilty of being a thief. Her legs are weak when she sees the patrol wearing a green hat.
If you are caught, you will be locked up in a study class.
"It\'s okay!" Su Wen puffed out her chest, and pulled Su Xiaomei past the patrolling people without looking sideways.
Miss Su looked at her elder sister adoringly, her eyes full of little stars.
"Sister, do you know where the black market is?"
"Don\'t know, but I can find it."
Su Wen has been observing all the way, staring at a black and thin man in his thirties, who is carrying a sack with a bulging bag on his back, and it seems that he is going to sell things on the black market.
Follow right.
She has already made a plan. Going to the black market is just to try her luck. If she can’t sell it, she will try it in the family area of a nearby factory.
"Eldest sister is really smart." Su Xiaomei\'s excited cheeks were as red as apples.
Su Wen\'s hand was itchy, so she stretched out her hand and pinched it. Feel good! It\'s just that there is too little meat, and it needs to be replenished in the future.
Miss Su was not angry when her cheek was pinched, but she jumped up excitedly, wishing her sister could pinch her left side again.
The two sisters followed the man carrying the sack and arrived at the black market smoothly. When I arrived, I found that there were far more people selling things than I imagined, and the people coming and going already had the prototype of the future farmers\' market.
In less than a year, a formal agricultural and sideline product trading market will be established here.
"I said, have you two followed me?" The black and thin man put the sack on the ground, glanced at Su Wen, and smiled kindly.
Su Wen saw that the other party was not angry, so she knew that the opportunity had come. When she went out to sell things, she had a reliable companion. Establishing a good relationship would be of great help in the future.
"I\'m really sorry for this big brother. It\'s the first time for us sisters to sell things, and we can\'t figure out the way. I apologize to you, please don\'t mind."
As he spoke, he took out a pair of plain blue sleeves from his own bag and stuffed them to the other party.
"This is a protective sleeve we made ourselves. We gave it to our sister-in-law to wear to prevent sunburn. Planting rice seedlings in the ground can also prevent leech bites."
"Girl, you are being polite, how can I accept your things. I didn\'t do anything."
"Brother, you must accept it. It\'s not a valuable thing. My second sister is an apprentice to a tailor. It\'s all made by my own family. You take it home and give it to your sister-in-law."
Su Wen can speak, and her eloquence is good. It is difficult for the other party to refuse when she says something with reason and evidence.
What\'s more, the sleeves are beautiful and practical. The black and thin man accepted them with a smile on his face, and enthusiastically introduced the situation of the black market to Su Wen.
For example, what is easy to sell, how to hide when patrolling people come, etc.
Su Wen also listened seriously, and Su Xiaomei took out the sleeve shawl from the bag neatly at the side, and neatly placed it on the ground for display.
The little girl walked for more than an hour, neither crying nor fussing, and looking for opportunities to help. Gritting your teeth and persevering even when you are really tired, this will be an even more desperate performance.
The black and thin man who watched kept praising Su Xiaomei, who blushed because of embarrassment.
No one has praised her since she was a child, and what she hears the most is "money-losing goods" and "debt collectors".
This is the first time someone praised her, she is so happy!
