Chapter 8 A good start
Pedestrians come and go on the streets, from those who are in a hurry to go to work and school, to housewives who come to buy some groceries.
Originally, everything was as usual, lively with a little busy, but orderly. Suddenly, a small crowd of people all went in one direction.
I have loved reading since I was a child, and Song Xiangran has read some of all kinds of books. Song Xiangran was inspired by a novel she had read before, in which the protagonist relied on his own shouting to attract customers.
People say that it is useless to talk too much on paper, but practice is the only way to achieve true knowledge.
I didn't expect the shouting skills in the novel to come in handy this time.
So people all ran to Song Xiangran's stall one after another, a few people came, and other passers-by also came over to find out out out of curiosity.
"Everyone has come to take a look, the handicrafts of Xiaolin Village are all genuine handiwork. Song Xiangran held the bullhorn and shouted from the steps next to him.
Many people in the town had never seen the gadgets of the people of Xiaolin Village, and they couldn't help but let out exclamations when they saw them.
The aunt who was carrying a basket and preparing to buy vegetables originally saw many people coming here and followed the trend to take a look. When I arrived at the stall, I found that there were a lot of exquisite handicrafts on the stall, including embroidered purses, woven bracelets and hair bands, almost all of which were beautiful and dazzling, and the aunt's eyes couldn't see them.
"Little girl, these little knick-knacks of yours are so exquisite, they have to be sold for a lot of money, right?" The aunt asked hesitantly.
In fact, the aunt asked the voices of the rest of the onlookers, everyone was curious, seeing such a finely made thing, but they were afraid that they would not be able to afford the price, so few people took money out of their bags.
Song Xiangran knew the doubts in the big guy's heart, and hurriedly shook his head and smiled: "These gadgets are all made by the female comrades in the village with stitches and threads, and they can work slowly and carefully to have such exquisite finished products." “
When the aunt who asked just now heard this, her brows furrowed: "Tsk, isn't that more expensive? Everyone knows that labor is not cheap these days." “
"Auntie, that's true, but this handicraft, in fact, is good and cheap. Song Xiangran smiled and handed her the braided bracelet that had lingered in her aunt's eyes for a long time, "Where can you make so many beautiful gadgets?"
The aunt took the beautifully woven ethnic style bracelet, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, and then asked, "I want this bracelet, how much is it?"
"It's not expensive, it's not expensive, that's it. Song Xiangran compared a number with his hand, and the big guy was shocked when he saw it.
"So cheap?" The aunt took out the money from her bag in surprise and handed it to Song Xiangran.
The onlookers suddenly swarmed up, scrambling to buy Song Xiangran's handicrafts.
In a short time, the handicrafts were snatched up.
"Hey, little girl, where did you get all these handicrafts?" An aunt who had just grabbed a beautifully embroidered headband made of cotton and linen asked.
"yes, yes, where the hell do you make such a nice thing?" Other people who had just bought something were also curious.
But Song Xiangran just smiled and didn't speak.
"Oh, little girl, this is the first time I've seen you come here to sell these gadgets, so don't sell them. The aunt who bought the bracelet couldn't wait to ask.
The rest of the people began to ask questions.
I saw Song Xiangran take out a big photo album from his bag, stand in front of the big guy, and say while flipping through it: "These are all taken from our Xiaolin Village." “
On the one hand, it is because the scenery of Xiaolin Village is indeed beautiful, and on the other hand, Fang Qingming seems to be quite accomplished in photography, and the composition and light are very good.
The big guy stared at the photo in Song Xiangran's hand for a while, and he unconsciously let out an exclamation.
"This Xiaolin Village is so beautiful, why haven't I seen it. Someone in the crowd said.
"This place is really beautiful, where is it, not far from the town?"
Seeing that the big guys were beginning to be interested in Xiaolin Village, the smile on Song Xiangran's face became even brighter.
"Our village of Xiaolin is not only beautiful, but also rich in peaches. As he spoke, Song Xiangran gestured to Xu Zhiyuan on the side with his eyes.
Originally, Xu Zhiyuan was just playing for Song Xiangran on the side, collecting money, and basically didn't talk much.
Now, it seems that Song Xiangran wants to give Xu Zhiyuan a chance to perform.
Xu Zhiyuan comprehended, and hurriedly took out a few peaches that were still stained with dew from the basket he was carrying and handed them to the people who were close.
"Big guy, take a look, the peaches in Xiaolin Village are big and watery, they don't use pesticides, and they are very crisp in one bite!" Xu Zhiyuan seemed to have opened the chatterbox, and the words of praising the peach came out crackling.
After hearing that peaches are a few cents cheaper than those sold elsewhere, the big guys are scrambling to grab them.
Those who were hungry took a bite of the peach on the spot, and the sound of biting it made the rest of the people can't help but be greedy.
"Oh, although this year is the peak season for peaches, the peaches in Xiaolin Village are cheaper than the rest!"
"If you like our gadgets, peaches or something, there are many more in Xiaolin Village!" Song Xiangran said while the iron was hot.
After selling handicrafts, tasting peaches, and looking at photo albums, people began to discuss.
"Little girl, how close did you just say that your Xiaolin Village is close to the town?" The aunt was the first to ask.
Song Xiangran replied with a smile: "Big guy, that's the case, our Xiaolin Village is developing tourism recently, if you have time, you can go to our Xiaolin Village to pick peaches yourself, there are more exquisite handicrafts waiting for you to buy!"
In the past, they only had the opportunity to touch fruit trees when they were farming, but now they have been reformed and opened up for several years, and the young people living in the town have never touched it at all, and those who are older have begun to miss the simple rural time of the past.
So as soon as I heard Song Xiangran say that I could pick peaches in person, some people couldn't help but sign up.
"Rest easy, since it is to develop tourism, if you have a lot of free time and want to stay there for a few more days, we also have a place to stay. Song Xiangran continued, "When the time comes, the big guy can still learn how to make these gadgets, and you can enjoy the idyllic scenery!"
Living in the countryside, you can pick peaches and learn to make handicrafts, and few people have heard of this kind of tourism method in those days. Everyone was very curious, and some were eager to try.
"By the way, because of the recent development of tourism, if you buy something from us today, if you want to sign up, you can get a 20% discount!"
Originally, people who were still a little hesitant rushed to sign up after hearing Song Xiangran's preferential activities.
