Chapter 13: Night Market

Zhuge Zhenguo heard that his colleague went to the night market to set up a stall, and his idea of trying it was like a rooted weed, drilling and drilling in his heart, making him itch and scratch, and making him want to stop.

Finally waited for Zhuge Jingwen's high school entrance examination to end, Zhuge Zhenguo couldn't wait to mobilize his sister and partner with him to go to the night market to practice stalls.

Zhuge Jing's text can't erase face, in case it is embarrassing for classmates to see it, but Zhuge Zhenguo is especially good at doing ideological work, "Jingjing, what's the shame of practicing stalls? Now advocate work-study, take advantage of this summer vacation without homework, it will be regarded as social practice, what a good thing, kill two birds with one stone!"

"But big brother, I still want to take advantage of the summer vacation to preview the high school courses!" Zhuge Jingwen hesitated, and refused his brother at a moment's notice.

"What are you preparing blindly? If you don't do the right thing, won't it backfire, and you won't be able to change it when the time comes, and you're doing this redundantly! Besides, aren't you applying for a technical school? What kind of high school course are you preparing?"

"Then if I don't get into the technical school, I won't have to go to high school! yes, Mom!" Zhuge Jingwen looked at his mother for help.

At this moment, Wu Fengqiu was in the corner of the room, stepping on an old-fashioned sewing machine, processing a seersucker shirt for others.

Since her two sons have joined the work, her burden has been reduced a lot, a family of four, only the youngest daughter is still in school, and her life has been climbing steadily in the past two years, and she has no worries.

But Wu Fengqiu is used to saving, since he retired last year, his salary has decreased a lot, Wu Fengqiu can't be idle, and picks up the needlework that he used to know, and the old-fashioned butterfly brand sewing machine rings all day long.

It's not to modify old clothes for neighbors, or to cut trouser legs for acquaintances, what to make curtains, and all the work of making sofa covers, although the processing fee of three or five yuan is not much, but it is better than idle, and it is also an income after a month.

People have no long-term concerns, there must be near-term worries, the two sons are not young, especially Zhuge Zhenguo is twenty-one years old, and he will find a partner to marry in a few years, which is a big expense.

Wu Fengqiu put on the last sleeve of his shirt, cut the thread, and plugged in the iron at the same time, "Jingjing, what your eldest brother said is right, you are not too young, you should also learn to share some things for the family, make money by working and eating, there is nothing to be ashamed of!"

"Mom!" Zhuge Jingwen protested.

"Okay, don't be coquettish, my brother will take you to experience life tonight! I promise that after a summer vacation, you will be addicted to setting up a stall!"

"Pull it down! Big brother is the best at deceiving people, I don't believe you!" Zhuge Jingwen rolled her eyes and gave it to Zhuge Zhenguo.

Reluctantly or reluctantly, Zhuge Jingwen still carefully cleaned up the small commodities that Zhuge Zhenguo took the time to enter from the western suburbs, and recorded them in a small book according to the price and quantity, so as to prepare for future inventory and accounting.

"I said Jingjing, you are really suitable for business, you are self-taught, my colleague taught me this, but I don't remember it as much as you remember, show you what I remembered." ”

After Zhuge Zhenguo finished speaking, he took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket, on which he recorded the purchase price of various commodities with a ballpoint pen, and finally had a total price.

"Big brother, what are you remembering?" Zhuge Jingwen chuckled as he looked at the numbers that his eldest brother had scribbled, and it was estimated that he wouldn't know what he had written in a few days.

"Okay, you little girl, you dare to laugh at me!" Zhuge Zhenguo pretended to be angry.

Zhuge Jingwen will not be afraid of the eldest brother's bluff, he has been used to this set since he was a child, I am afraid it only works for the honest second brother, Zhuge Jingwen has tricks to deal with the two elder brothers, the little girl has been eccentric since she was a child, and she is the most favored by her father, and her father died suddenly, and she is the most devastated, everyone can see it, so the whole family tries to spoil her.

After dinner, before it was dark, the brother and sister used bicycles to carry the wholesale Xiaodong Xiaoxi to the sidewalk of Jiefang Road Commercial Street, spread a thick canvas that Wu Fengqiu helped them find, and then put the small goods neatly on the canvas.

Packed up, the street lights have been brightened, the people on the commercial street are not lively, the brother and sister are sitting on the side with a small horse, Zhuge Jingwen is embarrassed to shout, and when someone asks the price, he whispers to introduce the goods.

Zhuge Zhenguo is different, when he sells grain in the grain store, he has the loudest voice and greets customers the most enthusiastically, in the words of the store manager, Zhuge Zhenguo is speechless, and the roof of the grain store will tremble a few times.

"Take a look, a cartoon watch is ten yuan, a summer heatstroke artifact ice pad is only five yuan, and a beautiful cartoon fan is one yuan, don't miss it when you pass by, come and take a look!" Zhuge Zhenguo opened his voice and shouted loudly.

Zhuge Jingwen covered her mouth and snickered, who did you learn this set from? How is it the same as the TV series?

The business is not bad, although the few people who set up stalls next to them, the goods are similar to them, but Zhuge Zhenguo is more enthusiastic than them, and he looks enthusiastic, plus the little sister sitting next to him with clear eyebrows, he opened several after a while, Zhuge Jingwen is responsible for collecting money and looking for money, seeing that the business is booming, the little mouth can't help but smile.

Speaking of this small commodity wholesale market in the western suburbs, in fact, it is only a few hundred meters away from the commercial street of Jiefang Road, when the municipal government built it in 1982, it was originally intended to attract investment and attract foreign businessmen to invest and do business, but I did not expect that at the beginning of the lack of experience, the costs were too high, and the foreign merchants felt that the profits were too thin, and they were unwilling to come to invest.

Later, the government realized this problem, and deliberately formulated a policy of supporting the market and reducing fees, exempting all fees for three years of publicity, and fully supporting the work of attracting investment in the wholesale market in the western suburbs.

This has attracted merchants from Zhejiang, Guangdong, Tianjin, Jiangsu, Fujian and various cities in this province, and the goods are mainly sold to more than a dozen provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in Shanghai, Sulu, Henan, Anhui and other parts of the country, plus the unique geographical location of the wholesale city, close to the province's largest long-distance bus station - Yimeng long-distance bus station, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and it has become one of the top ten wholesale cities in the country.

In the past two years, Yimeng City's economy has had a certain space for development, and there are more and more floating people from all over the country, most of whom are young people.

Although Jiefang Road Commercial Street is next to the small commodity wholesale city, you can't get the wholesale price when you go to the wholesale city alone to buy goods, and the retail price is comparable to the shopping mall.

So in the evening, young people like to linger in the night market of the shopping street to buy small goods and clothes for daily life, and the prices of goods here are much cheaper than in the shopping mall.

This brings business opportunities for people like Zhuge Zhenguo, who have a heart, go to the wholesale city to wholesale goods, enjoy the wholesale price, there is no cost for setting up stalls in the night market, and add one or two percent on the basis of the wholesale price, you can easily sell and make a difference.

At this time, Zhuge Zhenguo looked at the less and less things on the stall, and his heart was happy, and suddenly a person stood in front of him, Zhuge Zhenguo looked up and saw that it was a middle-aged man in his thirties, carrying a pocket, looking at him angrily.

"This comrade, see what you need?" Zhuge Zhenguo greeted with a grin.

"This position is mine! you can go somewhere else!" the man said coldly.
