Walking into the square to the fellow brother who stole art yesterday, no one was there, and there were more security guards and police at the door, and asked the cleaning aunt, saying that there was a leader to inspect it today.

Yang Liufang wanted to simply give himself a day off and go to the market. The Western State Wholesale Market, like the wholesale markets in most cities, is close to the train and bus stations, and in those days and now, convenient transportation is a prerequisite for the distribution of goods.

Xizhou wholesale market and the railway station and the bus station into a horn trend, along the gate of the bus station to the west is not more than 100 meters is the gate of the wholesale market, into the gate, what catches the eye is not so much the wholesale market, but the asbestos tile shed under the four rows of long stalls, between each row with a steel bar welded by an arc-shaped arch door connection, the lintel on the white square board with red paint square writing big "stationery wholesale, jewelry wholesale, clothing wholesale, department store wholesale".

Yang Liufang first went to the regional passage where the clothing wholesale is located, and walked in, and all kinds of brightly colored clothes came into view, which was dizzying and dazzling, and could be verified here. The stalls are crowded with people, and workers and hawkers carrying bags are shuttling back and forth, from south to north, one after another:

"50 pieces, 5 cents!"

"8 cents is the lowest, no, you can take a look."

"Then I'll take a look"

"You're looking, I can buy you a stall lower than me!"

The boldness of the Northwest people is vividly embodied.

"1 piece of three, the lowest."

"Let's have 20 pieces."

"What, 6 yuan, I can't even get in!"

"Okay, don't go, I'll sell you."

The sound of bargaining with different voices and colors is in the ears.

Liu Fang walked to a stall selling vests and shorts, the stall owner looked at the ragged Ah Liufang, still smiling face, the wholesale market is a place without high and low attributes, the squeaky nest with the sack may be a big customer, so it is the nature of businessmen to laugh at people.

"The most fashionable undershirts and pants in the south, boss, how many are there?"

"Can I buy one and wear it myself?"

"Yes, one piece is also wholesale. Which one do you want? ”

Liu Fang picked out a white vest and shorts, "These two." ”

"2 pieces of 5."

When Liu Fang heard this, he thought that he only had more than 2 yuan and 8 cents in his pocket, so he could only blush and shake his hands and leave shyly.

"Cheaper for you." The stall owner's voice rang out behind him. Liu Fang thought that he couldn't do anything if he lowered the price, so he could only choose to flee as soon as possible.

Yang Liufang walked along the passage of clothing wholesale until he disappeared into the crowd of people, and the embarrassment disappeared.

Until the end, on the left is the area leading to jewelry wholesale, and on the right is department store wholesale, Yang Liufang, who can't even afford a vest and shorts, doesn't think about jewelry at all, so he doesn't hesitate to turn to the department store area.

Compared with clothing, the flow of people in the department store area is not bad at all, under the rows of simple business rooms, due to the need to display a large number of their own goods, most of the merchants use stepped wooden boards, stretching out an open air outside the business room, people are active in front of the stalls, crowded, lively.

Yang Liufang shuttled through the crowded flow of people, and saw a variety of goods marked with the origin of his hometown, Wenzhou's plastic water ladles and basins, which were also used when he was in his hometown, in order to confirm its durability, merchants like the ancient artists, opened their arms on the ground and smashed the plastic basin loudly; Yiwu hairpins, buttons, head ropes, etc., piled up in piles on the stalls, and the vendors shouted: "5 yuan a pile, big sale!" ”...

In addition, Jiangsu's fake flowers, balloons; nylon rope from Lanxi; Dongyang's wooden combs, grates, hair nets, etc. are dazzling and overwhelming. Due to the lower retail price of daily necessities such as needles, threads, and brains, there are more stalls than before.

Yang Liufang heard when he was at home, almost every family in Yiwu has people who go out to be a merchant, because the needle and thread brain these things are picked more and lighter, in the 80 era of "new three years and three years of old sewing and repairing", these are the necessities of home life for women and grandmothers, so these are the first choice as exchange materials. Paired with the local abundant cane sugar, the babbling ancient opera of eastern Zhejiang can attract many children, and then quickly form a commercial agglomeration effect, which is the realistic scene of "chicken feathers for sugar" summarized by later generations.

Yang Liufang walked to a tail shop with fewer people, and there was water at the door, although the boss put wooden planks and bricks in the water, after all, it was a little inconvenient, so the flow of people was bypassed. Liu Fang also wanted to go around, but just heard the boss say: "This is the lowest, as soon as you go to the countryside and change hands, a set of needles will be doubled, if it weren't for the fact that the sewer here is broken today and the water is surging, I won't sell it to you!" ”...

The speaker had no intention of listening, and Yang Liufang waited for the man to leave after taking the goods, then stood on the bricks in the water with his feet crossed, and said, "Boss, I want to buy needles, I just heard from you that this profit is big." ”

Looking at the ragged Yang Liufang, the shopkeeper did not despise it, and said with a smile: "Indeed, I wholesale here is cheap, and I can earn several times more by selling it in remote villages." A lot of the merchants take their goods from me. ”

"Oh, I'm from the south, it's the first time I'm doing this, how do I get the goods?"

"Oh, where is the south?"

"Wenzhou Yang City"

"We are from the same place. Brother, you're tired of getting tired of getting along every day (what business are you doing here?) ）”

"Brother, I originally came to sell shoes with Ah Hoop, but I got lost, I polished my shoes a few days ago, and I just heard you say that selling needles and threads can make money, I want to try."

"Oh, this is a small profit, but there is a lot of demand in mountainous areas and rural areas, you can try it. It's best to buy it by the set and then go to a remote place to disassemble and sell it. ”

"Brother, I only have 2 yuan and 8 cents left, and I will keep 3 cents for dinner, how many needles and threads can you buy? How to match, just buy these. ”

"1 Mao 1 set, you buy 25 sets, each set of ten needles, one thimble, with black and white threads. Fellow, I'm giving you 5 sets, and if you sell well, come back, just give me the money then. ”

"Okay, Brother" Liu Fang took out the money and handed it over, and Brother began to stack the goods. Tidy it up in a moment.

"Here, 30 sets, you can keep this plastic tote bag for loading." Liu Fang took it and said, "Thank you, brother"

"You go to the mountains to the west, where transportation is inconvenient, and few people run so far to buy needlework."

"Thank you..."Yang Liufang bowed deeply, then turned around and left the market with the goods.

He couldn't help but sigh that there are still many good people in this world, whether it is a familiar hometown or a strange foreign land. So he picked up the goods and left the wholesale market.

Walking out of the market, Yang Liufang spent 1 cent to buy a bus ticket to the western suburbs at the bus station, because according to the road pointed out by the wholesaler Ah Ge, you have to enter the mountains in the west to get more profits.
