Chapter 508: Departure from the Bazaar
The next day, Jian Mingyue woke up before dawn.
I thought I was going back to sleep in the dark, but who knows if it still won't work.
If you have something in your heart, how can you sleep.
When I got up for breakfast, Liu Xiu'e had already made it.
Unexpectedly, Jian Mingliang and the three of them also got up.
Liu Xiu'e feels sorry for these children!
Look at the long trip, it only takes three days, but they have all lost weight and become dark.
Just looking at Jian Mingyue's unkempt appearance, her hair should not have been combed for a few days, her braids are loose, her fur hangs on her shoulders, her eyes are sunken, and her little face is pointed.
The black blue under the eyes saw it clearly, not to mention that Jian Mingliang and them were one by one, Jian Mingliang had a scruffy beard, his hair was a lock of hair, and the corners of his mouth were blistering, so he should be in a hurry on the road.
I don't know what happened to them outside.
Just seeing the twenty-two sacks of socks, Liu Xiu'e was distressed to death.
It's not because of the money, it's because of the weight, how did the children come all the way from so far to come over, reversing on the way, getting in the car, getting off the car, this is twenty-two sacks, but not two sacks, not so easy to carry, there is no thing, there are no tools, just rely on the shoulders of four children, hand lifting, tired to death!
Liu Xiu'e's distressed eyes were red.
When making breakfast, the hand-rolled noodles of white noodles specially made, a large pot of noodles, one person gave four poached eggs, put some green onion in the pot, put a handful of dried chili fried oil and stir-fry, and one person gave a big bowl.
The four of them sat at the table and looked at such a big bowl of noodles and the white fat eggs in the bowl, and they didn't feel good in their hearts.
Watching the four people sucking and eating noodles deliciously, Jian Jianguo smoked dry cigarettes and Liu Xiu'e looked at the four children without saying a word.
After eating, Liu Xiu'e went down to the field to pick cotton.
Jian Jianguo went to the homestead to watch the people lay the foundation.
Only then did they know that the autumn harvest was early, and as soon as the people in the village heard that Jian Jianguo's family was going to build a house, they were given a lot of wages, and they also took care of a meal, and many people didn't have to take care of the meal, they just wanted to add an extra cent to the meal.
So a lot of men from the village came, all pointing to the ten days to earn pocket money to stick to the house.
If you can't get it in ten days, you can still earn a month's wages.
Jian Jianguo picked twenty people who were quick and diligent to work, and they were all capable people to work.
Everyone is eight cents a day.
Jian Mingyue didn't let Jian Mingming and them go!
Packed socks in bags.
I opened a pack of socks, sorted them out, folded them cleanly and without blemishes, and packed them.
See if it's a shiny new pair of socks or a premium sock.
Jian Mingyue asked Jian Mingguang to go to the county seat to see when the market will be there, the county seat should be a big market every three days, but Jian Mingyue is not sure if it will be tomorrow, if these are sorted out, if there is a market tomorrow, it will be able to open.
At noon, Jian Mingguang rushed back, sure enough, tomorrow is the big set, the good news is that tomorrow will not only be the big set, but also the county town for three consecutive days of the conference, the farmers in the nearby villages will come to catch the market, which belongs to the characteristic economy of this place.
That's great news.
Jian Mingyue simply made lunch, cornmeal cakes and a pot of stew, as well as cornmeal batter, Liu Xiu'e and Jian Jianguo were going to come back to eat.
After the four of them hastily eaten, they began to continue packing, until the lights went out in the evening, and they packed out 5,000 pairs of socks, all neatly packed.
Jian Mingyue deliberately found a lot of woven bags to come out, dismantled them and sewed them up with threads, and made a large cloth, which was used to set up a stall and spread it on the ground when the time came, so that the socks could be poured up.
It is definitely impossible for these goods to get to the county seat, and it is impossible to sell them out all at once, Jian Mingyue calculated, if the three-day market, the first day of the four of them went, one person took a flat shoulder to pick up a maximum of two packs, four people are eight packs, the first day is estimated to not sell so much.
After securing the flat burden and the goods, I waited for the next day's departure.
Jian Jianguo and Liu Xiu'e couldn't help, that is, they were told to be careful, because the family was also a busy job, and no one could take care of anyone.
Today, someone in the village asked Jian Jianguo what his three sons were doing, according to reason, building a house at home is a big deal, and the three laborers who are the pillars of the family can save a lot of money, but the people in the village didn't see a single child, isn't it strange.
No one is used to children.
Jian Jianguo said that the children in the family have something, and he didn't say much, in short, he didn't know whether the business at home was good or bad, Jian Jianguo didn't want people to know, and the gossip behind his back was not his own trouble.
Rather than that, it's better not to say it.
It was dawn, and Jian Mingyue got up.
Jian Mingliang and the others also got up, because they were going to officially start business today, and the three of them were obviously a little nervous and excited, and they had already packed up.
Liu Xiu'e knew that they were going to the county seat to catch the market today, and she also got up early to make breakfast, not to mention, and baked a stack of green onion pancakes for them, wrapped them in oiled paper and put them in the back basket.
Jian Mingyue went to the small shop in the village last night to change some change, and collected some change at home, always looking for money, this is ready, better than no preparation.
I also prepared an apron, and sewed a pocket of the right size on the apron to hold money, and now there is no wallet or anything, so it can only be used in this way to facilitate change and collect money.
This is the best way Jian Mingyue can think of.
The four of them had eaten and set off, but it was not yet dawn when they left, and it took them an hour and a half to walk.
The four of them walked to the county seat and the sky was already bright, today's weather was good, as soon as the sun came out, the sun was shining, and the people who came to catch the market were beaming.
There are already a lot of people in the county market.
A lot of seats are occupied.
Jian Mingyue and they could only find a corner that was already remote, because many people who rushed to the market set off in the middle of the night, so it was also appropriate for people to occupy a good seat.
Jian Mingyue spread out the cloth of the woven bag, let Jian Mingliang pour two packs of socks on one side, and neatly arrange the socks packed in plastic bags on the other side, these are to make a lot of money, and pour nylon socks on the other side, and then explain to the three brothers, about four pairs of thread socks and cotton socks for one dollar, two pairs of socks for one dollar in the packaging bag, and two pairs of nylon socks for one piece.
In addition, the sacks were opened and the bags were merged together to put a bag of waste and defective socks, these were ten pairs of dollars a dollar, and they were not returned or exchanged.
This is the last time I asked Jian Mingguang to go to other village markets to inquire about the price yesterday.
