Chapter 26 Can you use your brain for once?

Forty eggs were handed out, and seven dollars and twenty cents were returned.

Gao Qinghe picked up the empty basket with one hand and handed the money to her grandmother with the other.

"Grandma, let's go find Mom and Miaomiao."

Grandma Tian stared at the money in her hand, still somewhat bewildered.

Sold out in less than five minutes?
Although it was 80 cents less than selling them individually, Grandma Tian knew that more and more people would come to sell eggs later.

As the competition intensified, she had to lower the price to sell them all.

The money I earn then will probably be about the same as now, but time will have been wasted.

Seeing her happy granddaughter, Grandma Tian took out two cents and bought a fried bean cake from a street vendor.

"This is a reward for my precious baby," Grandma Tian said with a smile.

Gao Qinghe exclaimed with delight, "Thank you, Grandma!"

He quickly gave his grandma a kiss on the cheek, then ate the crispy fried bean cakes with satisfaction.

Grandma Tian felt as sweet as if she had drunk honey just watching her eat.

He whispered, "Eat quickly, but don't let Miaomiao know."

Gao Qinghe nodded to indicate that she understood; of course, she couldn't be discovered eating alone.

After Gao Qinghe finished eating, the grandmother and granddaughter walked towards the sweet potato shop.

Huang Ying was weighing the items and paying when Gao Qingmiao saw her sister and grandmother and happily ran out.

She sniffed the air and asked suspiciously, "Sis, what are you eating that smells so good?"

Gao Qinghe: "Would you rather go hungry?"

Gao Qingmiao didn't believe it; he was sure she was eating alone again!

Before he could ask any further questions, Huang Ying came out.

210 jin of sweet potato vermicelli sold for 315 yuan.

Gao Qingmiao's eyes lit up; she wanted to ask for 15 yuan to buy a pair of sneakers.

Huang Ying gritted her teeth, took out forty-five yuan and handed it to Gao Qinghe, "You three siblings, each buy one pair."

Gao Qinghe refused, saying, "I still have shoes to wear. Mom, let's go see the piglets."

Making money from money is the key to success.

Gao Qingmiao was lucky she didn't kneel down to his older sister.

There is no harm without comparison.

Huang Ying looked at her sensible eldest daughter, then at her son who was acting like a child, demanding to buy sneakers, and could only shake her head helplessly.

There is only one pig farm in the whole town, and all the piglets in the villages are obtained from this farm.

But since no piglets were brought over to sell today, Gao Qinghe's plan to buy pigs had to be put on hold for the time being.

There are still quite a few things to buy for the house.

Gao Qinghe arranged to meet her mother and grandmother at the entrance of the seed company in town in a little while.

They dragged Gao Qingmiao, who still wanted sneakers, away and strolled around the street.

"Don't just think about your sneakers. Once you start earning your own money, you can buy as many pairs as you want without anyone telling you what to do."

As Gao Qinghe walked, she said, "Observe how others do business, which business is the best, and why it is good."

"And what kind of goods are these street stalls selling, and how do passersby react?"

Seeing her younger brother still looking dazed, Gao Qinghe poked his arm in annoyance.
"Use your brain!"

She gave Gao Qingmiao a warning look, implying that she should learn from this and that she would only demonstrate it once.

Gao Qinghe squatted down in front of a stall selling small ornaments.

She browsed for a while, then picked up a plastic hair clip that was the most frequently asked about and inquired about its price.

The boss was immediately struck by her beauty.

Soon it was discovered that because Gao Qinghe had stopped in front of the stall, several young girls had also stopped in front of the stall.

The shop owner quickly brought out the remaining colors of hair clips for Gao Qinghe to try, while raising his voice as he said:

"These are trendy items from the provincial capital, only two yuan each. All the women in the city wear them; they're super fashionable!"

Pick up goods in the provincial capital.

I don't know if this information is true or false.

But this shows that people like things from the provincial capital, which is why they promote them this way.

Gao Qinghe asked the boss if she could try it.

The shop owner was more than happy to let her try them on and wear as many as she wanted. He also made sure to call over the few young girls who had stopped to take a look.

"It's free to try it, give it a shot, it'll definitely look good."

The girls were all captivated when they saw how beautiful Gao Qinghe looked with the hair clip.

The shop owner then brought out other styles of clips and had Gao Qinghe try them on, claiming that she would only know which one suited her best after trying them on.

Actually, they used her as a model to facilitate sales.

The effect was immediate, and more and more people gathered around the stall.

The girls felt that if they wore the same item, they could become as beautiful as Gao Qinghe.

In no time, three hair clips, each costing two yuan, were sold.

Other cheaper hair ties and clips also sold quite a bit.

Gao Qinghe pretended to be curious and asked a lot of questions. The boss felt guilty and had to multitask while attending to customers.

One sentence or two, and the more they talked, the more they revealed their secrets.

In the end, Gao Qinghe didn't buy a single hair clip.

The shop owner, instead, gave her a colorful hair tie that cost three cents as a token of his gratitude.

The siblings walked towards the town entrance, and Gao Qinghe, playing with the colorful rope, summarized:

"The goods are sourced from wholesale markets in the city, and even the most expensive ones are only half the selling price."

"The styles are mediocre, the quality is poor, and the prices are outrageous. They're just something to sell at the market because it's new, but there won't be any repeat customers."

Gao Qingmiao was still immersed in the small sensation caused by her older sister becoming a model.

If it weren't for her sister, who would buy a plastic hair clip that costs two yuan?

Gao Qinghe, however, had a different idea.

"People who follow trends will grit their teeth and spend two yuan to buy a very poor quality plastic hair clip, which shows that there is still a lot of room for growth in the fashion market."

Gao Qinghe had just observed all the stalls on the street that were related to fashion trends.

The fashion business is the best.

Secondly, there are stalls selling small accessories that young people like.

Moreover, she hasn't seen any of the popular items she remembers being sold.

And this is just the situation in one town; the market in the county seat is much larger.

Thinking of this, Gao Qinghe grabbed Gao Qingmiao, who was walking forward.

"Let's go to the provincial capital tomorrow!"

"So urgent?"

Gao Qingmiao was dumbfounded.

Are they really going to set up street stalls?

He wasn't mentally prepared yet.

Gao Qinghe laughed and said, "Don't you feel anxious when you see others making big sums of money?"

Gao Qingmiao swallowed hard; who wouldn't want to make money?

The question is, can you really make money by setting up a street stall?
Gao Qinghe pressed her throbbing temples and told herself that she needed to teach her child patiently.

With a soft sigh, he quickly calculated for Gao Qingmiao the approximate earnings from the small trinkets stall that day.

"Can you earn forty or fifty yuan a day?"

Gao Qingmiao didn't believe it. "That little stall? That's impossible."

Gao Qinghe: "If you don't believe me, do the math yourself!"

Gao Qingmiao immediately squatted down and picked up a stone from the ground to calculate.

He's at least a junior high school graduate; he can calculate such simple accounts very quickly.

You wouldn't know until you calculated it, and the result was quite shocking.

It turns out that what seems like an ordinary street stall can actually earn so much money!
How do we get to the provincial capital?

Gao Qingmiao was embarrassed, as the farthest place he had ever been was the county town.

But the thought of going to the provincial capital makes me incredibly excited.

Gao Qinghe said, "You can take a bus or a train. We'll see the details when we get to the county town tomorrow."

Gao Qingmiao nodded, assuring him that she would definitely not let him down at this crucial moment.
"Okay, sis, I'll do whatever you say!"
