Lu Xiaokun rode on the tricycle, Zhang Jiaming sat in the back with his schoolbag, because the seat was a little high, Lu Xiaokun's butt couldn't reach the seat, so he stood all the way like a water cart and pedaled the tricycle fast.

Lu Xiaokun's place of residence is four stops away from the third dormitory of the railway, and the two of them rode for more than half an hour to reach the door of the third dormitory.

"Xiaokun, stop the car."

Lu Xiaokun heard Zhang Jiaming greet him, and braked the brake with a "squeak", Zhang Jiaming jumped off the tricycle, ran into the commissary at the door, and took out a ten-yuan big unity from his schoolbag, "Boss, buy two boxes of big front doors." ”

"Oh, take such a big ticket." The owner of the commissary muttered, took out two boxes of big front doors from the cigarette box, and gave Zhang Jiaming nine yuan and three cents.

The 10-yuan denomination of Great Unity was indeed the largest ticket at that time, and the actual purchase value was higher than that of the later 100-yuan denomination.

Zhang Jiaming put the money and cigarettes he was looking for into his schoolbag, jumped on the tricycle, and "Get out of the way!" Turn left into the main gate and turn into the third floor. ”

Lu Xiaokun rode a tricycle to the front of Building No. 3 according to Zhang Jiaming's instructions, and a group of seven or eight-year-old girls were jumping rubber bands in the open space downstairs, "Small leather ball rubber skin, Ma Lan blossoms twenty-one, two five six two five seven, two eight two nine thirty-one ......"

Zhang Jiaming looked at this group of little girls in a daze and thought, Li Hong should be the same age as these little girls now, is she also dancing with a group of little girls in the open space of a community in Lanzhou at this time?

"Jiaming, what floor is it?" Lu Xiaokun had already locked the tricycle with an iron chain, and his eyes couldn't stop switching between Zhang Jiaming and the little girl.

Zhang Jiaming jumped down from the tricycle, "It's this unit, the fifth floor." ”

As soon as the two of them walked into the corridor, they almost collided with a child who ran out with an iron ring in his hand.

"Zhou Wei!" Zhang Jiaming shouted.

"Yikes! It's Zhang Jiaming! My dad is waiting for you at home. Go, follow me to the house. Zhou Wei turned around and took Zhang Jiaming and his friends home.

"Dad, Zhang Jiaming is here." Zhou Wei pushed open the door and shouted.

"Jiaming, I gave you the firecrackers you wanted, and they were two cents cheaper per hanging." Zhou Wei's father pointed to the five or six cardboard boxes piled up in the corner.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou!" Zhang Jiaming said as he took out two boxes of big front doors from his schoolbag and put them on the table, "Uncle Zhou, my second uncle asked me to bring you two boxes of cigarettes to smoke." ”

"Jiaming, our two are not outsiders now, and we can't see outsiders like this in the future." Zhou Wei's father said.

"Uncle Zhou, this is a little bit of my second uncle's heart, you must accept it, otherwise my second uncle will have to scold me when I go back!" Zhang Jiaming replied with a smile.

"Don't take it as an example!" Zhou Wei's father pointed at Zhang Jiaming and said with a smile, then took out a purchase slip from his pocket and handed it to Zhang Jiaming, "This is the price of these firecrackers, can you see if there is any difference?" ”

Zhang Jiaming took a look at the purchase list, three cents and three for two hundred rings, and one cent eight for one hundred rings, totaling 420 yuan.

"Uncle Zhou, a total of four hundred and twenty yuan is right, I also brought the money, and I will give it to you."

Zhang Jiaming took out a pile of ten yuan a piece of unity from his schoolbag, pointed out forty-two sheets and handed them to Uncle Zhou, who went over them again and said, "It's just right." ”

"Uncle Zhou, I still have so many goods tomorrow, can you prepare them for me again?" Zhang Jiaming asked.

"I'm off today and tomorrow, and I won't have a sports car until the day after tomorrow, so I'll go back and tell my colleague who is running a car today, and ask them to bring you the goods." Uncle Zhou replied briskly.

In his previous life, Zhang Jiaming and Zhou Wei's family were good, Zhou Wei's father was also warm-hearted, and Zhang Jiaming knew that he would definitely help him with this.

Zhang Jiaming chatted with Zhou Wei's father for a while, and then got up to say goodbye.

Zhang Jiaming and Lu Xiaokun rode a tricycle to the Xicheng Farmers' Market, the reason why Zhang Jiaming chose to set up a stall here is because this is the largest farmers' market in that area, there was no supermarket at that time, and nearby residents had to go there to buy vegetables, and their parents and neighbors usually buy vegetables in the Dongcheng Farmers' Market, and they will not be reluctant to go there and meet acquaintances.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Jiaming and Lu Xiaokun's tricycle appeared at the Xicheng Farmers' Market, and Zhang Jiaming noticed that there was already a firecracker stall on the left side of the farmer's market gate, and there were seven or eight people around the stall buying firecrackers.

Zhang Jiaming parked the tricycle on the right side of the gate of the farmers' market, twenty or thirty meters away from the gun stall, moved down the cardboard boxes containing firecrackers and lined them up, and officially began to practice the stall.

Soon, a middle-aged woman who came out of the farmer's market to buy vegetables came over, picked up a hanging firecracker, looked left and right, and asked, "Little classmate, how do you sell firecrackers?" ”

"Auntie, five cents for two hundred rings are hanged, and three cents for one hundred rings are hung." Seeing the first customer coming, Zhang Jiaming happily stood up and replied.

"Do you have to hang such a small firecracker for five cents a piece? It's too expensive! The five-cent house over there is a lot more than yours! The middle-aged woman pursed her lips and pointed to the gun stall on her left.

"Auntie, you can't say that, although the gongs and drums are small, the sound of the knocking out is much louder than the water tank, and the same is true for firecrackers, Auntie, why don't you buy a hanger and put it back to listen, if it doesn't shake your ears numb, I will refund your money tomorrow." Zhang Jiaming really wants his first shot business to open smoothly.

The middle-aged woman shook her head, turned around and went to the gun stall over there, wandered around for a while, took out a red one-yuan bill from her pocket, bought two firecrackers, and put them in the basket.

Zhang Jiaming and Lu Xiaokun counted it, and in less than an hour, the gun stall opposite had already sold twenty or thirty firecrackers, and their side had not yet opened.

Lu Xiaokun was a little discouraged and asked, "Jiaming, what if we can't sell these firecrackers?" That's more than 400 yuan! ”

Zhang Jiaming replied confidently: "Don't worry, these firecrackers may not be enough for us to sell." ”

Lu Xiaokun looked at Zhang Jiaming suspiciously, Zhang Jiaming took out his winter vacation homework from his schoolbag unhurriedly, "Xiaokun is not busy now, let's finish today's winter vacation homework first." ”

So the two of them each lay on a cardboard box to write homework, Zhang Jiaming was responsible for originality, Lu Xiaokun was responsible for copying, twenty minutes later, Zhang Jiaming finished writing the Chinese and mathematics homework, Lu Xiaokun also finished plagiarizing, just when the two put away the homework book one after the other, a girl in her thirties from the gun stall opposite walked over to Zhang Jiaming.

The girl took the firecrackers on Zhang Jiaming's stall and turned them in her hands, and said: "Child, you can't sell firecrackers like this, why don't you give it to me, I'll help you sell it, you can go home and play as soon as possible, how about I buy it for two cents?" ”

"Thank you for your kindness, but we'll keep it for ourselves." Zhang Jiaming refused.

"The dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't know the hearts of good people, yes, even if I didn't say it, I want to see how many firecrackers you can sell today!" The girl threw the firecrackers in her hand into the cardboard box, snorted and twisted her ass and walked back, and the wrapping paper that hung the firecrackers thrown into the cardboard box was broken.

Lu Xiaokun stood up as soon as he "whew", rolled up his sleeves and was about to find the girl to theorize, but was dragged by Zhang Jiaming, "Xiaokun, calm down, let's not compete with her for a while." ”
