Chapter 242: Returning from Selling Flowers

Bai Mengdie took it and was about to drink it, and Yuan Yuan said, "Give it to me when you finish drinking." ”

Bai Mengdie was very helpless, looked left and right, and put the water back into Shi Lei's hand: "I'll go buy three convenient cups, it's more hygienic for everyone to drink water from cups." With that, I ran to the nearest snack bar and asked someone to buy three convenient cups.

The boss rolled his eyes and said that he would not sell it, and that he would not let her buy liquid food such as soy milk porridge in convenient cups in their store.

But Bai Mengdie asked, all the foods in the store, such as soy milk, porridge, etc., were twice as expensive as those in other places.

The more prosperous the area, the more expensive the food and drink, she knows this.

But she also knows that there are generally breakfast shops in large communities, and this kind of breakfast shop is a business of acquaintances in the community, and the price is very fair.

So Bai Mengdie ran to the community where Shi Lei was selling vegetables just now, and after only half a circle, she found two restaurants selling snacks, not only for breakfast, but also for lunch.

Bai Mengdie walked into the faΓ§ade of a restaurant called "Fat Sister-in-law Snack Bar" and saw a price list hanging on the wall of the store that said white rice porridge and a bowl of dime.

Bai Mengdie bought three bowls, and the white and chubby proprietress put a little dried chili fried capers in each bowl of porridge, and packed them in a plastic bag for her to take away, with a good service attitude.

Bai Mengdie wanted to buy three convenient cups by the way, and the proprietress gave her three for free, so that she could take care of her business more in the future.

Bai Mengdie was a little embarrassed and embarrassed and replied, "Okay".

She knew that the proprietress mistakenly thought she was a resident of this community, so she was so kind and generous to her.

Bai Mengdie returned to Shi Lei and Yuanyuan with porridge and a convenient cup, and everyone ate a bowl of porridge with the food they brought.

This kind of porridge is very thin, and it quenches your thirst when you drink it.

It's just that the capers in the porridge don't taste very good, salty and skiny, and they are not as delicious as the capers at home.

It's free, so there's nothing to be picky about even if it doesn't taste good.

After eating a simple lunch, the Bai Mengdie brothers and sisters wanted to go to Hanzheng Street to buy some goods, so naturally they couldn't throw Yuanyuan down.

Yuanyuan is the first time to come to the provincial capital, he is not familiar with the place, and he is a girl, if something happens on the way back by himself, how can his brother and sister explain to her family?

So I took her to visit Hanzheng Street.

Yuanyuan was so excited, she hadn't visited Hanzheng Street yet, and she could open her eyes today.

Hanzheng Street on Children's Day is particularly lively, many parents bring their babies to buy clothes and toys, and the street is crowded with people, and it is difficult to walk an inch.

In Baimengdie, Hanzheng Street is not so crowded, because there are too many shopping places, and there is also online shopping, which diverts a lot of customers.

The three children moved slowly with the crowd, watching as they walked.

There is a store that sells trinkets, nine out of ten girls will be interested in trinkets, and the only one who is not interested is a female man.

Yuan Yuan immediately excitedly pulled Bai Mengdie and squeezed over, choosing his favorite trinkets.

Bai Mengdie has a row of heavy bangs, and the bangs are a little hot when the weather is hot, and I want to buy a headband to get the bangs up to cool down.

Considering that she was fatter and it was better to buy a thin headband, Bai Mengdie took a rose-red wavy plastic hairband and asked, "How to sell this?" ”

The salesman with heavy makeup said impatiently: "No, it's not sold in a group, at least ten pieces are sold in a group, all of you are three cents a piece, ten pieces are three yuan, if you only need one, five cents a piece." ”

Bai Mengdie put down the headband, a five-cent, and the retail price was all over the street.

You can still try it in a small store, and you can also look in the mirror, but you can only choose here, and it is impossible to try it on and look in the mirror to see the effect.

Besides, there are also these gadgets sold in the county, and you don't need to buy them for five cents, so it's better to buy them in a small county.

The salesman saw that Bai Mengdie didn't buy it, and his face became ugly: "Hillbilly, don't move if you can't afford it!" Hand cheap! ”

Bai Mengdie sneered: "Your thing is five cents, not five yuan, fifty yuan, not five thousand yuan, who can't afford it?"

I don't buy it because I look down on you as a parallel import, don't you have self-knowledge? (Parallel import: dialect, inferior product.) οΌ‰

You are poor, you won't stand here and sell if you have money, so when you laugh at others, you first weigh yourself a few pounds and a few taels! ”

After saying this, she squeezed out, ignoring the salesman's young lady and jumping to her feet in anger.

The Chinese language is broad and profound, and this word "selling" is really reverie!

Yuan Yuan was holding a bow hairpin in his hand and wanted to buy it, but when he saw Bai Mengdie leaving, he had to throw down the hairpin and leave.

She is not familiar with life, and she must not be separated from the two Bai Mengdie brothers, and she will not be able to return home.

The three of them continued to move forward, and the stores selling children's clothing, toys, and trinkets were almost all on sale.

However, this is a wholesale market, although there are promotions, but there are very few retail ones, everything is sold in groups, even the clothes are a group of five to have discounts, and toys are sold in sets.

However, parents don't mind buying five pieces of clothing for their baby, and they don't care about buying a whole set of toys as soon as they buy them.

Bai Mengdie thought while watching, it is still happy for children in the city, and it is already good for children in the countryside to be able to eat a plate of ice cream and a plate of fried meat with green peppers on Children's Day.

It's easy to walk to the street where stationery is sold, and there are actually shops that are doing promotions.

Bai Mengdie inquired about the price, even if the stationery wholesale store that does not engage in promotion, the wholesale price of a gel pen is only three cents and five, and the wholesale price of those who do promotion is even lower, as long as three cents.

The retail price is five cents a piece, which shows that the profit is not small.

There is also a 30% profit between the wholesale price and the retail price of various workbooks and correction fluids, which is not a small profit.

Bai Mengdie didn't expect stationery to have such a big profit margin, but you can imagine how profitable those stationery stores at the school gate are.

Bai Mengdie approved fifty yuan for various homework, and also approved a gel pen for fifty yuan, which soon cost a hundred yuan.

She also looked for a stall selling trinkets, and spent 30 yuan to buy some cheap and good-looking head ropes and small side cards.

Summer is coming, and these head ropes and small side cards are basically used by girls as long as they are girls.

When Bai Mengdie bought trinkets, Yuan Yuan also picked a few pieces to buy with her, so that she could buy her favorite trinkets at the lowest price.

Yuan Yuan saw that Bai Mengdie bought so many stationery and trinkets, and asked curiously: "Why do you buy so many stationery and trinkets?" ”

Although Bai Mengdie has a good impression of her, she is not a good girlfriend, and it is impossible to tell her the truth about everything.

Perfunctory: "Of course these stationery are bought for use, and this trinket is intended to be given to classmates." ”

Yuan Yuan gasped: "It's really hard for you to study in high school, you have so much homework, and you have to use so many pens and notebooks!" ”

After buying the things, Bai Mengdie put all the goods into her schoolbag and carried them on her back, and left with Yuanyuan and Shi Lei.

Because there were so many people shopping, they could only go with the flow, and there was no way to return the same way, Bai Mengdie took them around and walked out of another street.

Anyway, while walking, Yuanyuan doesn't mind a detour.

Although Hanzheng Street is called "Street", it is not actually a street, but there are countless streets like a spider's web, each street selling the same kind of goods.

Bai Mengdie: The street they are passing through now is all selling cloth.

In front of some shops, there is a stall made of wooden planks, and the stall is piled with colorful cloth heads.

These cloth heads are leftover from the store's sale of cloth, and they are sold at ultra-low prices.

It is said that the short one is at least half a meter, and the long one is one or two meters.

In ninety-eight years, clothing was still relatively expensive, so some people bought fabrics and took them to tailor shops to make clothes, which was much cheaper than buying finished products.

And this kind of cloth is cheaper than the cloth sold in the cloth shop, so it was very popular with housewives in those days.

Yuan Yuan immediately ran to a stall selling cloth to pick up fabrics.

Bai Mengdie and Shi Lei were standing a meter or two away from the stall waiting for her, but Shi Lei suddenly walked over and rummaged through the pile of small mountain of fabric.

Bai Mengdie thought that he wanted to buy two pieces of fabric for himself and asked Tian Chunfang to make two clothes for him.

His clothes were washed and white, and they were short and small, and they had to be made new.

Bai Mengdie was carrying a schoolbag on her back, standing in place and looking at the empty burden and the two empty baskets waiting for Yuanyuan and Shi Lei.

After waiting for at least half an hour, Bai Mengdie's legs were sore, and she kept changing her center of gravity, and Yuan Yuan ran over happily with two pieces of fabric.

Let Bai Mengdie look at the fabric she bought, and ask if it looks good, if she wears it properly.

Bai Mengdie glanced at the two pieces of fabric in her hand, all of which were chemical fiber fabrics, one was white and the other was blue on a white background.

At that time, country girls especially liked chemical fiber fabrics, which were bright and would not fade.

In fact, Bai Mengdie also likes chemical fiber fabrics, because they are easy to wash, they can be washed very clean with soap, while pure cotton and pure hemp are not as easy to wash as chemical fibers.

Bai Mengdie smiled and said that the two pieces of fabric are good-looking, she must be dressed appropriately, and Yuanyuan's mouth can't close when she listens to it.

Bai Mengdie thought to herself, even Yuanyuan has picked the fabric, why hasn't Shi Lei picked it yet?

What's so good about the boy's fabric, isn't it gray, black, white and blue? Could it be that guy has choice difficulty syndrome?

She was scolding, and saw that Shi Lei was also holding a few pieces of colorful fabric and squeezing it out, and strode to her side.

Bai Mengdie was stunned for a moment, reached out and rummaged through a few pieces of fabric in his arms, a total of four.

The two brightly colored ones were bought for her at first glance, and the two plain ones were probably bought for Tian Chunfang.

Shi Lei asked Bai Mengdie to take off her schoolbag, and he put these pieces of fabric into her schoolbag.

Bai Mengdie took off the schoolbag, watched him load the fabric in, and said angrily: "Why did you buy me the fabric?" I just made a new dress. ”

Shi Lei smiled warmly and said, "You are about to have a birthday, and these two pieces of fabric should be used as a birthday gift for you." ”

Yuan Yuan immediately poked his head over and said enviously: "Your brother is so good to you!" ”

After Shi Lei loaded the fabric, he carried the schoolbag to himself, and he took the empty burden himself.

Bai Mengdie followed him with an empty basket on her back: "You are really, you see that your pants are short and old, not to mention buying two pieces of fabric and going back and asking your mother to make you two pairs of pants, you have to buy them for me!" ”

Shi Lei smiled and said, "I'm a boy who doesn't pay attention to dressing. ”

Yuan Yuan was envious again, and whispered to Bai Mengdie: "If only my brother was so good to me." ”

Bai Mengdie laughed.

Walking out of Hanzheng Street, Yuan Yuan ran to a stall selling cold drinks and wanted to buy ice cream.

As soon as he asked the price, he stuck out his tongue, turned around and ran back to Bai Mengdie's side with a red face: "I originally wanted to buy three ice creams, but I didn't expect the ice cream in the city to be so expensive!" ”

Bai Mengdie's fair face was slightly reddened by the sun: "The ice cream in our countryside is all made by small workshops, and sometimes it can be tasted bitter, and it is estimated that it is saccharin, of course, it is cheap."

Basically, all the ice cream sold by regular manufacturers is sold in the downtown area, and the price is naturally expensive.

- Are you thirsty? My brother still has water there, you can drink it in a convenient cup. ”

Yuan Yuan shook his head: "I'm not thirsty, I just want to buy ice cream for you and your brother to eat."

You invited me before, I have to ask back, but I didn't expect the ice cream here to be too expensive. ”

Bai Mengdie smiled, this upright girl has a personality with her, if anyone gives herself some benefits, she will always remember to return the favor.

Bai Mengdie took her hand and walked towards the long-distance bus station: "It's not anything valuable, you don't need to ask for it." ”

Yuan Yuan was embarrassed and said: "Your brother and sister took me to the city to make money, and let you break the bank, I'm really embarrassed~"

Bai Mengdie said disapprerovingly: "We are a village and neighbors, don't be so outside." ”

The three of them got on the coach and did not return to town until about four o'clock in the afternoon.

Yuanyuan wanted to return the favor, and pulled the Bai Mengdie brothers and sisters to drink tofu brain.

Bai Mengdie couldn't live or die: "It's almost home, what kind of tofu brain do you drink?" Go drink, I'm going back to lying down, I'm tired today! ”

The original owner's physical fitness is not good, and it is really unbearable to run around for such a long time!

Yuanyuan saw that she insisted on not going, so he had to stop.

Yuanyuan wanted to take a stroll around the town, so the two Bai Mengdie brothers and sisters left first.

They had to rush back to talk to White Lotus and her lawyer about settlement.

Shi Lei saw that Bai Mengdie was listless and wanted to help her, but he was worried that the two were brothers and sisters who were not related by blood, and he was afraid that the villagers would see and gossip, so he didn't dare to do that.

The two walked to their field and saw that the old man and Tian Chunfang were all working hard in the field.

Bai Mengdie shouted loudly: "Grandpa, I'm back!" ”

Tian Chunfang looked up and said first: "Have you had lunch?" ”

The two brothers and sisters of Bai Mengdie replied in unison: "I've eaten it!" ”

Tian Chunfang asked again: "Are all the gardenias and vegetables sold out?" ”

The two brothers and sisters said in unison: "Sold out." ”

"That's good!" Tian Chunfang put her mind at ease.

Before they returned, she was worried that her two children would not be sold out.

The old man and Bai Aiguo took advantage of the three of his mother and son to speak, and they had already walked over and went to the field stalks.

The old man said: "I guess you should be back at about three o'clock, but I didn't expect to return at this point."

Lawyer Hong and the dog thing of White Lotus have been waiting at home for a long time, let's go back and talk to them about reconciliation! ”

Bai Aiguo has been a small cadre in a state-owned factory in the city for so many years, and he has seen a lot of things.

In the old man's opinion, with him, it is not easy to suffer big losses, so he was designated as the main force in this negotiation.
