Chapter 33
Life has to go on, because as long as people are still breathing, they have to face the hardships and endless labor of life. To live, to love, to marry, and to be happy, and all this can only be pursued if you live well, solve the problem of food and clothing first, and survive.
The effect of setting up a stall on the first day should be good, looking at the goods that Xu Ran prepared for her, Mei Ying couldn't help but sigh at the delicate mind of this little boy, I really don't know how he told his boss, everything is not repeated, as if she sells it is out of print. From socks, underwear, bottoms, ties to shampoo, as well as razors, batteries, power strips and flashlights, this kid thinks more than me, and Mei Ying can't help but admire her little brother in her heart.
The models of each variety are also complete, but each item is the same, which can be regarded as a means of promotion, as if to tell the buyer "sold out today, please be early tomorrow." "Spread the plastic sheet, the wind was too strong, and it was blown away, and after looking for a long time, I finally found two broken bricks to suppress, it seems that I will bring two more stones tomorrow, and the four corners are flattened before the goods can be stored, Mei Ying is angry at her carelessness.
Everything is in order, it's time to get off work soon, there are a lot of office buildings and two universities here, and it is also close to the vegetable market, and it will flow endlessly for a while, Mei Ying chose the side of the road on the side of the street, there will always be people walking from here, for this place, she has inspected it many times, and it is both lively business and good business when it comes to getting off work. So today she came early, and she wanted to occupy the most advantageous position first.
It took half an hour to ride from home, and I had to ride so many things, the frame of the car was bent, and I was carrying a big bag on my back, and even the two hives were full. She didn't listen to Xu Ran's advice to ask her to take a few items every day, since she was determined to do a big job. What is it if the body suffers a little, sell more today, rest tomorrow, and everything must be combined with work and rest.
"Girl, this is my territory, you move over there." Just as she was thinking about it, a middle-aged woman stood in front of her with several large bags of things on her back.
"What? Is there still a boundary to be drawn here? There is no name written on it, and it is not anyone's property, whoever comes first will be placed first. Mei Ying rejected her, what else do you need to set up a stall in the Chu River Han realm, and there will be people who want to collect protection money after a while, really, how can Lang Lang allow these people to turn it upside down.
"Girl, it seems that you are setting up a stall for the first time, this stall is still principled, and everyone will abide by it. After a while, they'll all come, and we've been here for almost a year, almost every day at this time, even on rainy days. This row and the opposite row are all fixed areas for us, and there is no first-come-first-served order for the stalls here, because every brick here is a long-term division for us. We don't blame you for your newcomer's lack of understanding, there is a corner on the edge that was originally Mrs. Tang's, she was sick and didn't come in the past two days, so you can put it here for two days temporarily, and then find another place by yourself, but girl, but be careful of the city management, when to come, sometimes not for a long time, sometimes when we relax our vigilance. ”
This woman pointed and scratched a lot, Mei Ying was a little blind, and she was still in the city? What is it? Looking at the worry and fear in the woman's eyes when she said the word chengguan, Mei Ying felt funny, all the fascists and paper tigers were defeated, and it was not illegal to set up a stall, afraid of a bird. Damn, you have to go through the back door to find a good job, and you have to talk about seniority when you set up a stall, and she's actually a newcomer, it's funny. Seeing that there were more and more people coming here to set up stalls, they looked at her curiously and ill-willedly, seeing that they were so numerous that Mei Ying had to give up the most advantageous place. He put everything in plastic sheeting and dragged it laboriously to the corner where the woman was pointing.
"How do you sell this?" A girl about her age pointed to some of the ties she had on the floor.
"These are twenty-eight yuan each, the colors are quite complete, they sell more than forty in the mall, buy them for your boyfriend, it's better to choose a few more to give you a discount." Mei Ying memorized these purchase prices last night, this kind of tie is eighteen yuan, she can't shout twenty-eight, they used to sell forty-five in the mall, and they didn't bargain.
Most of the girls also knew the market, so she squatted down to choose.
"In fact, men's shirts and suits are the most exquisite, this tie is the finishing touch of men, each suit should be matched with a different tie, men, temperament is the most important. You can rest assured, these are regular brands, if there is a quality problem, you can come to me at any time. Mei Ying patted her chest and made a guarantee.
"You're quite good at talking, the thing is good, it's the same as what I saw in the mall, how can the price be so different, it won't be imitated by some small workshop, will it not take long for the thread to fall off or change color after washing."
"Oh, you're really, if you want to buy it, why don't you say those things if you don't buy it, I don't sell fake and shoddy products, I've never done anything to cheat people. I used to be an employee of a state-run shopping mall, and I didn't come to set up a stall until I was laid off, and these things were all opened in our shopping mall. ”
"Don't be angry, but ask more, in this way, I'll buy two, just this light gray and light blue, for fifty a price, how about it?"
Mei Ying buried her head and pondered for a while, and hurriedly thought in her heart, who made her not good at math, such a simple addition and subtraction would have to ponder for a long time.
"Boss, do you want to sell it?" The girl was urging her.
It seems that she can still earn more than a dozen yuan, and she doesn't have to pay rent, water and electricity, Mei Ying nodded resolutely, handed her the tie, and took over the first money in her life that she earned by setting up her own stall. Looking at the back of the buyer, she secretly rejoiced, she became the boss, she was actually called the boss by others, this title is really interesting, and you can taste the taste of being the boss by setting up a stall, which is really good.
Squatted down and sorted out the goods, suddenly wanted to smoke, took out the cigarette and was about to light it, when a hurried shout came from the street: "Run, the chengguan is coming." ”
Fuck me! It's really here, on the first day of setting up a stall, I encountered it, what is the chengguan, scared these people to fart, some people can't even take care of things, and run to the alley in front of them, and some people are running while picking up lost goods. Mei Ying had never seen the chengguan, and she didn't know what it was for, she used to be trapped in that building every day to work, and she didn't know anything about the new things outside, looking at these people in a panic, what was the difference between this formation and the devil entering the village. Seeing that the situation was not good, Mei Ying hurriedly wrapped the plastic sheet and put the things on the bicycle as usual. Suddenly, I remembered an article I read when I was a child, "Saion lost his horse, and he didn't know if he was blessed", if she had set up a stall at that moment just now, how could she still clean up so calmly, there were few people in this corner, but because it was too unnoticed, she finally escaped the pursuit of the chengguan.
"Hahaha" Mei Ying laughed in her heart, pushed the car a little farther away from the intersection, lit a cigarette, and quietly watched the battle that was decided. The chengguan is amazing! Who gave them so much power, beating people and smashing stalls to pay goods, and driving cars, hula down a large group of people, didn't the car say "maintain urban order and create urban civilization"? So what are they beating people for? Are they bandits? Or a robber? Aren't they all ordinary people? Why is anger erupting from their eyes, the pain of gnashing teeth with hatred for the nation, the family and the country, and who do they represent? Is it the government? But doesn't everyone in office follow the principle of loving the people like a son? What's wrong with the world? Even the people are not in harmony with each other! They are not even as good as the ruffians and hooligans who collected protection money in the old society, you pay the money, and people will at least give them food, but these people are clearly going to smash their jobs, the vast sky, and let us little people go where to settle down!
