Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang returned to the station at three o'clock, and the train back to Dongshi after three o'clock was gone.

Li Xiangyang took her to the Second Hotel, a three-story building, and the row of doors below were all noodle rooms. There are restaurants, shoes, and clothing, and you can see customers in every store.

The two went to the accommodation registration office, and after inquiring with the comrades at the registration office, they learned that Zhou Xiaohong and Chen Dongming had not yet come to register.

Li Xiangyang took out the letter of introduction and opened two rooms, telling them that there were still two people who registered.

The comrades who registered told them to wait for the two of them to arrive, and then take the letter of introduction to register.

After registering, Li Xiangyang asked him where the wholesale material was located?

The person at the registration office told the two of them that the big food seller was in a few rooms on the first floor.

A woman in her thirties, with shoulder-length short haircuts, took the two to the second floor, two rooms next door, with two single beds, a writing desk, and two chairs.

After the waiter left, Lin Lan took a look at the sheets and pillows on the bed, it should have been changed, and it looked quite clean.

Li Xiangyang came from next door and said to Lin Lan: "Xiaolan, you rest for a while, I'll go downstairs first?" ”

"Let's go together."

Lin Lan picked up the military satchel, and the two of them went downstairs together, walking towards the room on the first floor, and smelled a strong smell before they arrived.

When the two approached, they saw that the doors of the rooms where the wholesale food was open and full of sacks, and there were several men in one room playing poker together.

Li Xiangyang and Lin Lan looked over next to each other, asked the price, and walked to the room in the corner, where someone was buying.

Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang walked in, and the boss, who was a little bald, glanced at the two of them, still busy loading the man.

Lin Lan grabbed a few star anise and looked at it: "How did the boss sell the star anise?" ”

The boss smiled: "We don't sell zero." ”

"We won't be here anymore!"

"This old man is busy on his way, and the two of you will wait a moment." The boss said that he quickly packed the goods, collected the money, and sent the old man away.

Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang took a look and found that there were several kinds of star anise, some with a strong flavor and some with a lighter taste.

The boss came back, looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "You want to produce the octagonal in Guangzhou, or Sichuanuchi." As he spoke, he picked up two kinds of star anise that looked the same, "This kind is from Guangzhou, most of them are medicinal, and this kind of daily seasoning is bought a lot in Sichuan." ”

Lin Lan took it and looked at it, and felt that the octagonal in Guangzhou Province was larger, and the number in the province was smaller: "Is there any difference in the price of these two?" ”

"Cheap in Sichuan, expensive in Guangzhou, daily seasoning can be bought in Sichuan."

Lin Lan asked the prices of several spices again, and felt that they were cheaper than those ones: "We buy daily seasonings, you tell me the price." ”

After the boss quoted the price, he also showed his bill to the two of them: "You can buy my goods with confidence, they are absolutely genuine." ”

Lin Lan looked at Li Xiangyang: "What do you think?" ”

Li Xiangyang said: "Boss, we are a new store, and the purchase volume is also large, no matter how cheap the price you said, we will buy it at your house." ”

The boss looked at Li Xiangyang in embarrassment: "Brother, I won't tell you, I just came here not long ago, and the price of the old customers is the cheapest, and if it is less, I will not make any money." ”

Lin Lan smiled: "We came from Dongshi, and the shipping fee is also expensive, so you are a little cheaper." ”

The boss shook his head with a smile: "Dongshi is not far away, I advise you not to consign, it is easy to drop if you don't say it." You believe me, when the goods are loaded, I will find a bag bearer to help you carry it to the car, and I will pay for the bag. ”

Li Xiangyang looked at him: "If the price is cheaper, we will recognize your family in the future." ”

The boss hesitated for a moment and said, "Two cents for each discount, and there is no need to talk about this price less." ”

"Good!" Li Xiangyang responded happily.

The boss smiled and asked the names of the two and told them that their surname was Ge Ming Changfa.

Li Xiangyang praised him for being able to do business, and the two followed Boss Ge's advice, prepared all the ingredients, gave Boss Ge a little deposit, and told him that they lived in room 203 on the second floor, and they would come to pick up the goods before leaving tomorrow morning.

Boss Ge smiled: "You don't need a deposit, and you will give it together tomorrow morning when you come to pick up the goods." ”

"It's good!" Lin Lan collected the bill, and when the two came out of Boss Ge, they saw Zhou Xiaohong and Chen Dongming standing at the accommodation registration office, asking if they had come.

"Sister Zhou, we've arrived." Lin Lan shouted.

Zhou Xiaohong walked over with a smile: "I thought you were still in Lao Chen!" ”

Lin Lan said with a smile: "We have all the ingredients in it." ”

Zhou Xiaohong looked at the two of them in surprise: "You guys are very fast!" ”

"We sat at Lao Chen's for a while, and then we came here." A few people laughed and went upstairs, pushed the door and went in and sat down.

Chen Dongming said with a smile: "Mingxuan's clothing business is really good. After you left, a group of people came, and Xiaohong and I helped for a while. ”

When he and Zhou Xiaohong left, another group of people came, and Xu Mingxuan originally said that they couldn't get out.

Zhou Xiaohong took over the conversation, "Mingxuan told us not to be greedy for cheap when purchasing, we have to pick a better material, and there will be more repeat customers." She said and looked at Lin Lan, "Xiao Lin, Mingxuan is going to Yangcheng next Wednesday, and I plan to go with him next week." What are you going to do? ”

Zhou Xiaohong felt that Xu Mingxuan's business was called business, and felt that she and Lin Lan were making hard-earned money. The wind comes and goes in the rain all year round, and the waist and legs can't stand up after standing for a long time after getting older, especially on rainy days, the waist and legs hurt like pinpricks.

When she went to the hospital for examination, she said that the rheumatism was serious, and she tried not to get wet, otherwise the bone joints would be swollen and deformed in the future.

She discussed it with Chen Dongming on the way, and while she was still running, she worked hard for a few years to save more money and buy a door-to-door house for several children, and they saved some pension money to save the burden on the children in the future.

Lin Lan thought that today was also Wednesday, and if she went, she would only have a few days to prepare, and she hadn't asked Li Xiangyang if she had made an appointment with Uncle Da?

She turned her head to look at Li Xiangyang: "Xiangyang, look?" ”

Li Xiangyang said: "The time I made an appointment with Uncle Da is to go next Sunday, so you can only go first." ”

Zhou Xiaohong nodded: "Then let's go first." ”

The four of them talked for a while, Lin Lan and Zhou Xiaohong washed their faces, saw that the time was not early, and went to the station to buy tickets together without eating.

When they arrived at the ticket hall of the railway station, the four of them were dumbfounded, and found that there were many people buying tickets at the station in the provincial capital, and the people queuing up to buy tickets were all lined up outside the ticket hall.

Li Xiangyang said to Lin Lan and Zhou Xiaohong: "Brother Chen will line up first, I will send you back to the hostel first, if you are hungry, you can eat downstairs, you don't have to wait for us." ”

Zhou Xiaohong nodded: "It's okay, let's go back first and order food in exchange for you." ”
