Chapter 118: Yangcheng

Shen Xiaofei knew that Lin Xi was going to go far away, so he was a little reluctant, hugging Xiao Hei sullenly: "Can't I really go with you?" ”

Lin Xi's packing action did not stop: "It's too far, besides, Xiao Hei also needs someone to take care of it, if you go with me, there will be no one to accompany it, how lonely." ”

Shen Xiaofei pouted: "You will fool the child, I know you don't plan to take me with me." ”

"At most, half a month, I will come back soon, and then we will go home together for the New Year."

Shen Xiaofei was still not very happy: "For so long, can you rest assured that you will leave me alone in this unfamiliar place?" ”

Lin Xi stopped what he was doing, stood up and straightened his waist: "I told Grandma Yang that she will take care of you during this time, and I will call you every day when I get there." ”

Sure that she wouldn't forget herself, Shen Xiaofei became happy again.

"Let's pull the hook."

"What hook?"

"Call every day."

"Okay."

Lin Xi stretched out his hand, and the mother and son signed and sealed.

The train was more than 10 o'clock in the evening, and because it was delayed by more than half an hour, it was not until more than 11 o'clock that the two of them got on the train.

Due to the large number of stopover locations, the three-day journey is extraordinarily long.

It was also midnight when the two arrived at Yangcheng Railway Station.

didn't have time to enjoy the surrounding scenery, so the two first found a guest house to live in.

For the completely unfamiliar environment, Lin Xi did not act in a hurry, and slept until seven o'clock the next morning.

In stark contrast to her is Yang Chuan, who has lived for more than 20 years, this is the first time he has gone far away, and everything around him is both strange and novel.

I got up at five or six o'clock in the morning, and I couldn't wait to take a turn around the neighborhood first.

Different from the calm and heavy of Beijing, Yangcheng in this period was in the stage of vigorous development of reform and opening up, with surging ideas and everything exuding vigorous vitality.

The young people dressed in colorful clothes on the streets, as well as the fashionable women with big waves, all shocked Yang Chuan's vision and heart.

As a leader in reform and opening up, Yangcheng is a dazzling pearl and a "pioneer".

Yang Chuan was caught off guard by the new wind of the times, and he wanted to integrate in ignorantly, but he was timid and hesitated.

"I found out that there were two breakfast sellers nearby, and they didn't even want tickets."

He couldn't wait to tell Lin Xi, who had just gotten up, about his new discovery.

"That's right, let's go there for breakfast in a moment, and then we'll go out on the street."

Yang Chuan was stunned: "Aren't we here to make money?" ”

Lin Xi: "To make money, we also need to pay attention to methods, we are here for the first time, many places are not familiar, do not rush at this time, first inquire clearly." ”

In her previous life, the farthest place she had been to was the provincial capital, and she learned a lot about Yangcheng through newspapers and television.

It is at the forefront of reform and opening up, and the landmark building is not only Baiyun Hotel, but also Dongfang Hotel.

There is also the first farmers' market and clothing wholesale market after the reform and opening up.

Therefore, there is no shortage of ways to make money, only the determination to change.

After Lin Xi finished washing, the two locked the door and left the guest house.

It was seven or eight o'clock in the morning, and many young people at work were wearing blue-gray overalls and hurrying to work on bicycles.

There are many shops selling tobacco, alcohol, sugar, tea, hairdressers and breakfasts on both sides of the road, and there are also small vendors with baskets peddling things from time to time.

The two stopped in front of a breakfast shop, and the merchant invited the two into the store very enthusiastically in Yangcheng dialect.

The two ordered two steamed buns and two porridges, and while eating, Lin Xi talked with the proprietress .

During the conversation, she inquired about the specific location of the wholesale market, and after dinner, she and Yang Chuan took a bus to the wholesale market together.

It was only eight or nine o'clock in the morning, and there were not many people in the stalls on the whole street, and even the eyes of the salesmen were very vigilant.

They hid in a stall of only a few square meters, and they didn't even dare to raise their heads too high, for fear of being laughed at if they met acquaintances.

At present, self-employed people are still not mainstream occupations, and they cannot be compared with state-owned enterprises at all.

What they don't know is that the profession that is now disliked will become the first batch of 10,000 yuan households in the next few years.

There was only a market one or two kilometers long, and it didn't take long for Lin Xi and Yang Chuan to come to the end.

Lin Xi inquired about the prices of a few stalls, which were a little different from what she expected.

As time went on, the number of people in the stalls gradually increased, and the shops began to open one after another.

In addition to some handicraft bags and shoes, Lin Xi noticed that there were two stores that had good clothing styles and quality.

One of them sells leather jackets and jackets, and the other sells bell bottoms and floral shirts.

At the time, they were all very popular styles.

There is even a popular phrase: flared pants like skirts, plaid shirts tied around the waist, toad mirrors with labels, and hair hot like lambs.

"I don't think it's good-looking, and it doesn't look good. The key price is not cheap either. ”

Yang Chuan specially inquired out of curiosity, a pair of washed jeans costs more than 30 yuan, which is more than a month's salary of ordinary workers, and the buttocks are round, so it is not worth wearing them like this.

"That's because you don't understand the trend, my clothing styles are all made according to Xiangjiang, Xiangjiang you know? It's very popular now. ”

The stall owner retorted in broken Mandarin.

It's really rude for these buns from the mainland to dare to belittle his things without understanding anything.

Lin Xi: "Boss, how do you sell these bell bottoms?" ”

Hearing Lin Xi's question, the boss immediately greeted him with a smile: "It's still a beautiful girl who knows how to do it, fifteen yuan each, and Tong Su is not bullied." ”

"Can I get more goods cheaper?"

The boss waved his hand again and again: "This is the wholesale price for me, and how many people take goods from me every day is at this price." ”

Fifteen yuan, this price Lin Xi felt was still a bit expensive.

In her previous life, she made clothing, and later bell bottoms have become very common, and the price is relatively cheaper, and the cost of each piece is about ten yuan if she buys fabrics by herself.

In addition, now the clothing is profitable, and it is conservatively estimated that the other party is also making money for seven yuan.

"Couldn't it really be cheaper? I have a lot of goods, and your mainland market has not yet opened, right? It's really selling well, and I will definitely get the goods from you for a long time. ”

The boss pretended to be very embarrassed, and finally seemed to have made up his mind, waved his hand and said, "More than a hundred pieces will be cheaper for you, fourteen yuan a piece, and it can't be lower." ”

Lin Xi felt that there was still room for bargaining, but the other party saw that she was from out of town and resolutely refused to give in to the price.

After trying to bargain again, the boss still insisted on his fourteen yuan, so Lin Xi decided to go to other stalls to have a look.
