Hearing her man's question, Sister Zhao remembered Pan Yanglai and hurriedly introduced to her man, "Gangzi, this is Brother Zhaoke, thanks to him for taking pity on our mother, otherwise I, a person who doesn't know a single word, still leads my son, and I must be wandering around the train station like a headless fly." ”

Knowing the situation on the train, Sister Zhao and her man thanked Pan Yang for their success, took out a pack of cigarettes from their trouser pockets, smoked two, handed one to Pan Yang, and said politely, "Big brother, smoke a cigarette." ”

Pan Yang took it, didn't give Sister Zhao a chance to light a cigarette, and directly pinned the cigarette to her ear, which means that she doesn't want to smoke at the moment.

has been in this era for so long, and has been mingling with a group of big men all day long, even if Pan Yang can't smoke, he has also learned some special communication methods between men.

For example, when handing cigarettes to others, you must smoke two cigarettes at the same time, and both of them are handed to each other to show respect.

Also, if you feel that it is rude not to take someone's cigarette, you can take it and stuff it directly into your ear, so that you don't have to light it right away.

Sister Zhao and her man are also people who have been 'messing around' outside for many years, and when he saw Pan Yang's move, he withdrew his foreign fire and said, "Big brother, does he have a place to go?" If you don't dislike it, go to my place and invite your eldest brother to a light meal? ”

Pan Yang had a letter of introduction on him, and there was enough money in the space, so he was not ready to bother others, so he smiled and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't bother you." ”

Although Sister Zhao and her man tried their best to keep it, Pan Yang still politely refused, thinking of the purpose of his coming to the provincial capital, before leaving, Pan Yang asked by the way, "Big brother, you have been in the provincial capital for a long time, do you know where you can buy things without tickets?" Items such as clothes, fabrics, shoes, etc. ”

Sister Zhao said clearly, "You can be regarded as asking the right person, I understand what you mean, you want to go to the thrift market, right?" Go, I'll lead you there! ”

Pan Yang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't bother the big brother, you show me the way, and I'll go over by myself!" ”

Sister Zhao said, "It's not a trouble, even if I don't take you there, I have to go there, because the place where I live is in the thrift market." ”

It turned out that Sister Zhao and her man were criticized for selling rat poison. After the fight, he couldn't raise his head in the countryside anymore, and he was poked in the backbone by his father and fellow villagers, and he didn't want to go out to hang around, so he simply walked all the way from home to the provincial capital, and by chance he got acquainted with the owner of a store in the thrift market, and worked as an apprentice in the thrift market, and now he lives in the warehouse in the backyard of the store.

Under the guidance of Sister Zhao and her man, they took the tram and got off at the section of the Shouchun Road thrift market, the thrift market is not like a department store, an entrance contains a variety of commodity counters, it is a narrow bluestone street, standing at the mouth of the alley and looking in, a row of low bungalows are lined up, each family is close together, and all the goods sold in it are second-hand, or the processed goods of the department store.

Compared with other streets, this street is too broken and inconspicuous, there was just a rain yesterday, Shouchun Road street is full of potholes, there is water everywhere, all the way in, muddy water sticky.

Sister Zhao and her man carried the luggage and hummed in front of her, and said to Pan Yang as she walked, "Don't look at this street in tatters, it provides living materials for most of the city residents, and it is not yet the point, wait for another hour or two, and wait for the commodity grain households to get off work, you can't squeeze in here if you want to!" ”

Sister Zhao and her man led them all the way in, and stopped at a small store, inside a row of wooden counters, the counter was full of bits and pieces, and there was a row of shelves behind the counter, and there were clothes such as tops, pants and skirts on the shelves, as well as rubber-soled cloth shoes, liberation shoes, sandals, etc., dazzling, there was a fat man in his fifties or sixties sitting at the counter, with a pair of reading glasses hanging on his eyes, and he was looking down at the newspaper, he saw that Sister Zhao and her man were back, and said, "There is a watermelon cut in it, and I will take your woman and child to eat." ”

Sister Zhao wiped the sweat beads on her face, sighed, and said to the fat man, "Uncle Han, this is my brother, I want to buy clothes to take back, she buys more, take out the defective products that just arrived in the department store yesterday, and let my brother buy new ones and bring them back." ”

After speaking, Sister Zhao and her man said to Pan Yang, "Big brother, just tell Uncle Han what you want, don't look at our small façade, there are many things in it, you see what you want, I'll settle her mother and mother first." ”

Pan Yang was grateful, and hurriedly let him get busy, because there was a relationship between Sister Zhao and her man, Uncle Han said directly to Pan Yang, "Since Gangzi has spoken, I will also treat you as my own, yesterday the department store just arrived a batch of defective products, if you are not Brother Gangzi, I don't want to sell you." ”

Uncle Han is telling the truth, don't look at the defective products eliminated by department stores, but for ordinary residents in the city, these are still sought-after goods, not to mention that they are sold cheaper than department stores, and they don't need tickets, they are definitely the first choice!

If it weren't for someone he knew, Uncle Han wouldn't have sold it at all, and he still wanted to get some discounts for his acquaintances! Fortunately, although this batch of goods came, no one from his acquaintances had mentioned that he would keep the goods, so it was regarded as cheap Pan Yang now.

It hasn't arrived at the end of the commodity grain household yet, and there are not many people who come to buy things, so Uncle Han took out all the defective products that had just arrived yesterday and piled them on the counter, so that Pan Yang could see what he wanted.

Pan Yang has her own plans, she is going to buy more and go back, resell them to the people in the village, as long as it is new, whether it is defective or not, it is good and good in the city, they are very rare in the countryside, and they now have some spare money in their hands and have nowhere else to spend, and there is a lack of tickets in their hands, so they buy it and resell it, not afraid that no one will buy it.

Among the defective products that Uncle Han took out, most of them were summer short-sleeved pullovers and shirts, in addition to long pants, leather shoes, nylon socks, etc., and the most surprising thing for Pan Yang was that there was wool!

Pan Yang said directly to Uncle Han, "I want all of these, you can directly calculate how much it costs." ”

Uncle Han glared and said, "Can all of your family members wear all of this?" ”

Pan Yang smiled and said nonsense, "It's rare to come to the provincial capital and bring it to my fathers and fellow villagers." ”

As long as he can afford the money, it doesn't matter who he is, Uncle Han sells it to whoever he sells. Taking out the abacus from under the counter, Uncle Han quickly dialed the abacus and took an item to quote the price, "Men's leather shoes are twenty yuan a pair, women's leather shoes are nineteen yuan a pair, liberation shoes are five yuan a pair, nylon socks are one pair of money a dollar, men's trousers are eight yuan a piece, women's trousers are seven yuan a piece, men's pullover is nine yuan, and women's pullover is eight yuan"

The abacus crackled for a while, and Uncle Han finally quoted Pan Yang the total price, "A total of five hundred and sixty-seven yuan and eight cents, you know Gangzi, I won't accept a fraction, just give me five hundred and sixty yuan." ”

More than 500 dollars! Pan Yang secretly smacked his tongue, the old Pan family sold a season of wheat and rapeseed, but they only sold for about 400 yuan.

More than 500 yuan is definitely a lot of money for Pan Yang, Pan Yang looked at the stacks of clothes and shoes piled up on the counter, gritted his teeth, took out 600 yuan from the space and handed it to Uncle Han.

No matter what, if you can't bear the wolf, the money will be earned back sooner or later!

After laying the package, Pan Yang said goodbye to Sister Zhao, threw the big bag and small wrap on his shoulder, and walked out of the Shouchun Road thrift market. Now that he couldn't catch the train back to the city, Pan Yang simply found a guest house nearby, took out a letter of introduction, opened a room, and carried the big bags and small wraps into the room, so he concentrated on putting all the big bags and small wraps into the space.

After staying overnight in the provincial capital, Pan Yang rushed home non-stop the next day, with a long delay on the way, and it was already two days later when he got home. Such a thing! ”

Don't look at the clothes, such a big bag, but Pan Yang is tired enough, sit down on the second-story stone steps, Pan Yang said while untying the cloth pocket, "I bought it from the city, and I am going to sell it." ”

Zhang Xuelan said worriedly, "You have to spend a lot of money to buy such things, right?" What if I can't sell it? ”

Pan Yang asked Zhang Xuelan to rummage through the clothes inside, and said to her, "How about you look at these styles?" ”

Zhang Xuelan looked through a few pieces, the styles are novel, and there are many colors, unlike the cloth in the supply and marketing cooperative, there are three colors of black, gray and blue to choose from, and the clothes made are only one or two styles, needless to say, in the eyes of the people in the city, it is outdated for 800 years.

Zhang Xuelan couldn't help but praise, "Of course it's good-looking, I've never seen many of them." ”

"That's it." Pan Yang smiled and said firmly, "Since you said that the style is good, then I am not afraid that I will not be able to sell it." ”

Zhang Xuelan said in her heart is not this reason, if you put aside the first year, every household in the village can't afford to buy these things, but now, it is no exaggeration to say that every household can buy two pieces of clothing to treat themselves, not to mention that they still don't need tickets, especially those who are in a hurry to do happy events, there will be no such shop in this village!

Immediately, Zhang Xuelan thought that where to sell it was also a problem, could it be that she had to ask people door-to-door if they wanted it?

She said, "Zhaoke, where are you going to sell it?" ”

Pan Yang had already thought about the place and said, "Don't we have a thatched house at the gate of the production brigade?" Today I went to clean the house, and it happened that the straw mat laid out when Shiyao got married was still there and was not returned, and these clothes were placed directly on the straw mat, and they were allowed to choose, and which one was selected to give which money to pay. ”

Zhang Xuelan said in a good voice, and couldn't stop laughing, "Are we considered to have opened a supply and marketing cooperative?" ”

Pan Yang said, "There are still things to ask for tickets in the supply and marketing cooperatives, we are not supply and marketing cooperatives, ours is called a grocery store, I have thought about it, selling clothes is a beginning, I will think of contacting the source of supply in the future, we will sell everything in the future!" ”

After discussing, after Pan Yang rested at home for a while, Pan Yang and Zhang Xuelan carried brooms, hoes and other guys, and went to the thatched house at the entrance of the production brigade together, cleaned up the inside and out, and even the weeds outside the thatched house were hoeed by Pan Yang, and two stone slabs were moved to pave the door of the thatched house as a stepping board.

After finishing up, Pan Yang found a long wooden board from home and asked Pan Hengchun to write 'Pan Ji Grocery Store' on the wooden board, and then put a nail on one end of the wooden board, and then screwed it with a wire, and hung the wooden board at the door of the thatched house, and the old Pan's grocery store was opened!

The next day, the people of Panjia Village who rushed to the market suddenly found that there was an extra store called Pan Ji Grocery Store in the market, although most of the old farmers in the village had never been out of the house for most of their lives, but even if they had not eaten pork, it was difficult to see the pig running, and there were people in the village who went to the city to see the 'world', and the people who went out to see the world said that the shops in the city were all listed like this!

On the day of the market, all the people who rushed to the market passed by and were curious to go in and have a look. I don't know if I don't see it, but I was shocked when I saw it, it turned out that this store called 'Pan Ji Grocery Store' was actually opened by Pan Zhaoke in the same village, and it still sold clothes of various colors and styles!

It's a shame, their Panjia Village is also like the city, there are shops selling clothes!
