Chapter 159 Craft Jade Strings
This place is called Yushan Island, the origin of the island name, it is estimated that the Yushan Mountain on the opposite shore, the scenery is beautiful, the tourists are weaving, Jiafeng gets up early in the morning, is ready to try his luck there.
In the narrow place between the island and the opposite bank, a wooden bridge supported by wooden piles was built, Jiafeng felt that it was very convenient to come and go, why didn't he like to go to the island to live, because it was like two worlds, high-rise buildings on the shore, busy traffic, except for a few aborigines on the island, lived a simple and simple life, occasionally people like Jiafeng broke in, and few people went to the island to live.
Imagine, there is no running water, how do modern people live, as everyone knows, the river water is clear, it is the source of drinking water, in Yangzhou, where tourism is the pillar industry, so it can still retain this pure land, like the isolated peach blossom source life.
But not exactly, life is peachyland, survival is cruel and realistic.
Passing by the breakfast shop, Jiafeng touched his pocket, a little hesitant, there was only more than 100 yuan in it; This money is life-saving money, first, in case you can't live, you can go home; Second, you can make a desperate bet and buy goods to sell.
How can you just do it, how can a student have such courage?
The shape is pressing, Jiafeng wants to fend for himself, except for picking up rags, there is only this one way left, other ways, Jiafeng can only shake his head and sigh.
Last night, I had a dinner at the landlord's eldest brother Wu Xinmin, not only had a full meal, but also drank snake wine, there was an unknown coiled snake soaking in the wine in the wine jar, Jiafeng was hungry, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, and drank with the father and son.
At the wine table, Jiafeng continued to ask how to make money? This is an urgent need, so we won't sit back and eat nothing.
Uncle Wu: "You can go and pick up mineral water bottles." ”
"This is a good way, no capital." Jiafeng thinks it's okay, isn't that a matter of picking up rags, so downcast?
Wu Xinmin came up with an idea: "Xiaofeng, you don't make much money like this, you go to Yushan tomorrow morning to see, what things are easy to sell?" What are other people buying? How much does it cost? Then you go to the wholesale market in the city to buy, for example, a tourist shirt is only 1 yuan, you can sell it for 10 yuan, how many rags do you have to pick up to earn 10 yuan, 8 yuan? ”
But he still has some doubts: "I just think that selling tourist souvenirs comes quickly, I only carry passengers on weekdays, I see that the wharf and nearby scenic spots are very good, but I don't know much about the market, I need you to go to the opposite scenic spot to inquire, and you will go to the wharf to sell, I will solicit guests for you." ”
"Do you need more money?" Jiafeng eagerly asked the eldest brother, when he got off the train, there was a total of 200 yuan left, and he handed over the eldest brother to 50 yuan for rent, and there was 150 yuan left.
"To do business, the capital can be more or less." Uncle Wu is right.
"Big brother, I would like to give you a glass......" Jiafeng borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, mixed wine and food.
Now, he is reluctant to buy not only daily necessities, but also breakfast.
In front of the huge propaganda column of "One of the Eight Views of Yangzhou, the World is Wonderful, Yushan Welcomes You", Jiafeng saw a teenager, about fifteen years old, black and thin, bent down and reached into the trash can and took out a mineral water bottle.
"Go, don't pick up rags here, don't sell anything." A man in a scenic management uniform came to chase him away.
The boy walked out with a nylon bag.
"Wait, brother, how do you do this, why don't you sell travel gifts?" Jiafeng stopped this young man who was in a similar situation to himself, if he wanted to survive in Yangzhou, he had to ask people who were in sympathy with the same disease, this was a shortcut.
Thinking that he hadn't eaten breakfast yet, he generously donated money: "I'll invite you to eat Yangzhou rice noodles!" ”
To be honest, when I came to Yangzhou, I didn't have time to eat a bite of authentic Yangzhou rice noodles, and this humble snack is the signature feature of Yangzhou, cheap and good, famous all over the country.
"Okay, thank you, brother." The boy showed a mouthful of white teeth, a slender body, and a delicate face, isn't this a girl? It's just short hair that reaches the ears, and he really looks like a boy.
In the rice noodle shop, two portions of vegetarian noodles were served, each serving was 1.5 yuan, with dots of shredded meat and green onions on it, and the girl devoured it, and the bowl was gone, and there was no soup left.
"Brother, you're here to wander too? Picking up the rags? The girl said generously, "My name is Tian Yu, I am still in junior high school, I just ran out for a month, and now I am so homesick, but I don't want to go back." ”
"I want to sell tourist gifts in the scenic area...... Jiafeng said casually, but still asked the girl, why are there so many poor people, no matter what the reason, "Why?" ”
"I'm in the countryside of the local countryside, my father died when I was 8 years old, my mother remarried, and I have a younger sister who is in elementary school at home, and I have lived with my grandparents, and my grades are not good, so I don't want to study." Tian Yu showed a melancholy expression, maybe he couldn't say it, Jiafeng could understand it.
"And how do you live?" Jiafeng thought it was incredible, how could a little girl survive?
"When I first came out, I was working in a workshop that made handicrafts, and the boss didn't pay me, so I came out, picked up the rags during the day, and went back to the factory to sleep at night." Tian Yu's mental state is not very good, it is estimated that the rest is not good, if he continues to wander, I don't know what will happen?
"Do you want to go home? I'll buy you a ticket. Jiafeng seemed to have forgotten that she was about to be displaced, but her compassion exploded and she insisted on helping the girl go home.
"Brother, you are a good person, I don't want to go back, I have to come out when I go back." Tian Yu rejected Jiafeng's kindness, "Brother, you just said that you sold travel gifts, let's sell them together, okay?" I'm familiar with this place now, my brother is so smart, we can definitely make money. ”
"Okay!" Jiafeng felt that life was like a play, and the first time he bravely entered Yangzhou, he started the first gold panning journey in his life in a daze.
"Tian Yu, what is it good to sell?" Jiafeng hasn't thought about it yet, so she can only listen to her opinion.
"Just sell this." Tian Yu groped out a string of beads made of small stones from his pocket, and said without thinking, "This is not a high-end product in a jewelry store, or a bargain in our workshop store, the product is backlogged, the boss has no money to pay wages, a string can be bought for only a few cents, and sold slowly, and you can make money for one yuan and a string." ”
What a smart and lovely little girl, she is simply a living bodhisattva sent by God to save herself! Who sympathizes with the way of this world and who doesn't know it?
It is better to take action than to move, Jiafeng will go to the manufacturer with all the capital under the leadership of Tian Yu, and exchange it for 100 yuan in a large plastic bag, with a total of more than 1,000 pieces of stone craft jade strings.
In the house on Yushan Island, two people who had fallen to the end of the world finally fell asleep tired and deeply.
