Chapter 21: The First Day of Stalls

This market in Wangyuan District is easy to find, Li Dan got off the bus and walked along the crowd, and within two minutes, he saw the open-air market in front.

As she walked, she saw that people had basically stood on both sides of the road, selling everything, but most of them were selling vegetables and fruits.

She walked for more than ten minutes before she saw two uniformed men holding notebooks in their hands collecting booth fees.

Li Dan slowed down and observed, and then shamelessly turned back and walked back.

The place she visited just now has already collected the booth fee for the afternoon, she feels that she is not a person who likes to take advantage of small advantages, but she came so late, and now she can set up a stall for two hours, and it is a bit of a loss to pay the booth fee for an afternoon, she is now financially tight, so she doesn't want to suffer, and she still escapes after weighing it in her heart.

When she just went shopping, she had been observing if there was a place for her to set up a stall, and there was definitely no big and good stall, but just now she saw that there was a small open space in the middle of the two stalls, and the general stalls could not be placed, but it should be okay to put down her socks, so she went there directly with her bag.

When Li Dan arrived at the place, he first said hello to the stall owners on the left and right, one was a male boss selling spices, and the other was a female boss selling clothes. She cheekily said good things to the owners of the stalls on both sides, and expressed her desire to borrow this little place between them to set up a stall.

The male boss didn't say yes or no, knowing that she wasn't buying goods, he just twisted his head and ignored people, but the female boss who sold clothes was very talkative, and dragged her stall to the side, making room for Li Dan again.

Li Dan thanked and thanked the people, and then put down the bag behind his back and sandwiched it between the two stalls.

Because it was the first day, she didn't prepare a list for the bottom bunk, so she had to use a black plastic bag to deal with it.

Seeing Li Dan open the bag, the female boss who sold clothes next to her knew that she was going to sell socks.

"Yo, girl, you sell socks!"

"That's right, eldest sister, you see that our two stalls are right together, I bought your skirt, and by the way, you can buy a pair of socks from me."

The female boss laughed at what she said, "Oh, sister, you are really good at talking, okay, today the eldest sister will borrow your auspicious words." ”

"Hehe, eldest sister, I think your clothes are very good-looking, they must be selling well." Li Dan glanced at the pile of clothes piled on the ground, all of which were popular clothing styles among the current aunts.

"It's okay, just deal with the food." The female boss was modest, but the smile on her face was a little proud.

"Eldest sister, you are really capable, this is the first time I have come out to set up a stall, but I want to learn more from you." Li Dan continued to flatter.

Li Dan, who has worked for many years in his previous life, knows the truth of making money with harmony, and when he goes out, there is almost absolutely no harm in desserts and other people's sets.

And it's the first time she came here to set up a stall, there is a rule to say something, it's better to have an acquaintance to help remind her, and she also wants to inquire about where there is a set on Saturday and Sunday, and she also has to plan for the future.

After chatting, Li Dan also knew that the eldest sister's surname was Zhou, and she was also a full-time stall, carrying her skirt to various markets every day.

The two of them were chatting, and someone came up to look at the clothes, Sister Zhou hurriedly went to say hello, and Li Dan watched from the side, learning from experience.

This Sister Zhou can speak well, and the words of sales can be said to the hearts of shoppers, and it doesn't take long for people to pay the bills.

Seeing that the money had already been paid, Li Dan also seized the opportunity to quickly sell: "Auntie, you bought such a beautiful skirt, and you are matching a pair of good socks, my socks are the latest in our W City." ”

The eldest sister really raised her eyes and asked, "How much is a pair?" ”

"The style is different, the price is not the same, this kind of knee to a piece of five pairs, in the long point of a piece of eight, in the pantrousers of two pieces of five, this kind of pattern is a little more expensive three pieces." Li Dan introduced enthusiastically, and handed over the kind of high socks with lace, which matched the skirt that the eldest sister had just bought.

The eldest sister took the socks and looked at them, handed them back in disgust, and threw away a sentence that it was too expensive and didn't buy it.

The first business was not completed, Li Dan was still very disappointed, but she encouraged herself in her heart, everything is difficult at the beginning, and it will definitely get better and better in the future.

But it seems that today's good luck has left Li Dan, and he has stood for more than half an hour, and it has not yet opened, but he has waited for the booth fee.

The people were sharp-eyed after years of practice, and they went directly to Li Dan, "New here, I didn't see you when I was charging just now." ”

Li Dan didn't dare to deny it, and pretended to be innocent with a good attitude: "Yes, I just came over, and I really didn't see the two big brothers passing." ”

"Okay, it's not half a day for you, you can pay a dollar."

Li Dan had already asked just now, the cost of setting up a stall here for a day is four yuan, and half a day is two yuan, and now people charge her a piece is already less, she quickly took out a piece from her pocket and handed it over.

One of the eldest brothers took the money and kicked it in his pocket, and then walked forward as if nothing had happened.

"Why don't you care if they ask for an invoice? Hmph, this dollar must have let the two of them take it by themselves, you don't know, their hands are black, people who wear it all day long, they will bully us ordinary people, just collect money and don't issue invoices like just now, it is a random charge, and the money goes into their own pockets. Sister Zhou saw that the people were gone, and began to scold in a low voice.

Li Dan listened with a smile and didn't say anything, she just sold a few pairs of socks here, but she didn't use them as guns. Whoever can't get used to it will sue, as long as she is allowed to sell goods at this stall, she can't care who the money goes into anyone's pocket.

Sister Zhou chattered for a while, and when she saw that Li Dan didn't answer, she didn't talk about it anymore when the corners of her mouth twitched, and she didn't pay attention to her, and sat down on the small bench behind the stall, and started shouting.

In the next hour or so, Li Dan worked hard to sell, but only sold two pairs of socks.

Sister Zhou next to her had been watching from the side, seeing that Li Dan was a little discouraged, and kindly mentioned for a while: "Big sister, don't always sell your stockings, I think your socks are very easy to sell." As she spoke, she reached out and flipped through the patterned pantyhose.

Li Dan was a little puzzled, sorting out the socks that had just been messed up in his hands, and asked: "Sister Zhou, these socks of mine are really new, how beautiful they are, why don't these people buy them, am I selling them too expensive?" The price was set on the way here, and it was also based on the retail price in the wholesale market, and of course she added a little bit.

"Hehe, it's not that your socks aren't good-looking, I also know that you're new, I didn't see the same style as you in this episode. However, it's precisely because you're new that people don't buy it, and you see if those aunts and sisters can wear these socks to go out. "That's the crux of the matter, because no one wants to be the first to try it, because no one has seen it.

Li Dan is also a smart person, and she understood as soon as Sister Zhou said this.

She looked at it from the perspective of later generations, and felt that these socks were very beautiful and trendy, and it was very common for the eldest sister and aunt to wear them in later generations, but she forgot that people are still very conservative now, especially those who are older, and they are afraid of people's irresponsible opinions.

"Sister Zhou, thanks to you for reminding me, I didn't even think of this."

"Oh, I'll just say that, and it's not necessarily right." Sister Zhou waved her hand indifferently, in fact, she really just looked at Li Dan's age and gave random guidance.

Found the problem, and in the next period of time, business was really better than just now, with several pairs of socks sold, and not a few pairs of high socks and pantyhose.

Li Dan looked at her watch and saw that it was time, if she didn't go back, she wouldn't be able to catch the bus home, so she could only put away her socks, and asked Sister Zhou where there would be a market tomorrow, so she took the bus with a big bag on her back.
