Good luck every time

Li Ruyi opened the box and everyone around him leaned over to look.

Li Ruyi opened the lid of the wooden box and placed the wicker basket on the lid. In an instant, the two boxes turned into a small stall.

The people who wanted embroidery frames took all of Li Ruyi's embroidery frames to look at them and asked about the price.

This embroidery frame is an ordinary round one made of bamboo. Li Ruyi made it herself after reading Mr. Han’s notes.

At the beginning, I was thinking that I might be able to sell it for money. It was polished very carefully and looks good.

The women here generally do not embroider large pieces, and ordinary families hardly ever use embroidery frames and embroidery frames.

It is only used in places like embroidery studios or clothing shops.

But places like that won’t buy from peddlers, they will just ask carpenters to make them themselves.

The woman asked about the price, and Li Ruyi asked for it according to the county price.

"The small one is ten cents, the larger one is twelve cents."

The surrounding villages do not produce bamboo, and Li Ruyi's bamboo blanks are also purchased. There is no such thing as a business without capital.

However, the price of handmade items is indeed not high. Baskets and baskets of them can only be sold for very little money. Only those extremely gorgeous items that will be favored by the upper class can be sold at high prices.

This is something that ordinary people use, and it's just like this at best.

Even though the price is so low, many people would rather figure it out on their own than let the peddler make a penny.

The sister-in-law who was watching the embroidery frames compared several of them and found them all rare.

The craftsmanship required to make this thing is not high, but if you want it to be outstanding, you have to polish it carefully. The mortise and tenon joints of the teeth were polished by Li Ruyi to be perfectly smooth, without any scratches or damage to the cloth. People who use it often can tell the quality of it at a glance.

Some of the embroidery frames bought in the county need to be wrapped with thread before they can be used, unlike this one, which looks exquisite.

Someone advised the sister-in-law.

"Oh, this embroidery frame looks good, not expensive at all!"

"I didn't expect that you, young man, have such good taste despite your young age!"

Li Ruyi smiled very kindly.

There were people around looking through the other things she had brought, and some asked her the price of the needlework.

Someone also asked her if she had any bowls. One of her bowls was broken, and the market day had not yet arrived. She felt it was too far to go to the county to buy one.

Unfortunately, Li Ruyi is not here either.

The bowl was too heavy, and she didn't know the situation and was afraid of losing money if it broke.

"The bowl isn't here yet. You'll have to wait a while."

"Hey! You should also get some bowls and plates."

Li Ruyi nodded repeatedly.

"Good good!"

"Why isn't your rouge white?"

While Li Ruyi was talking to someone, her powder box was opened.

She turned her head and said.

"That's not rouge, that's baby powder for prickly heat, for removing prickly heat, 200 coins a box, it's for children at home, one box can be used for many years."

When the woman heard this, she quickly put the lid back on.

"Whose children are so precious! They can just use some powder to treat a couple of prickly heat rashes..."

Li Ruyi still smiled and said nothing.

This prickly heat powder is made by grinding the starch and talc precipitated from potatoes and mixing it with the mint and wild chrysanthemum that Grandma Ding brought back.

You will make a profit if you sell it.

When someone heard this, they hurried over to take a look.

"Let me see it, I haven't seen it before."

Li Ruyi showed the things to them, which attracted another wave of people.

These new things are just gimmicks, and people tend to look at them more than they buy.

The things that were finally sold were all common and commonly used items.

After those who had bought things returned with the money, Li Ruyi packed up her things and prepared to go home.

While she was packing her things, an old lady came over.

"Hey, little brother, when are you coming back?"

Li Ruyi thought about it.

"Maybe in seven or eight days! Is there anything you want me to bring?"

The old lady smiled embarrassedly.

"My daughter is going to get married next month. How about you bring back some nice hair ornaments for me?"

Li Ruyi was stunned and nodded immediately.

"Sure! I'll bring some more, you can choose from them, Auntie."

The old lady slapped her thigh and laughed.

"That's great! But let's make it clear, I don't have much money and I don't ask for much, so just don't complain."

Li Ruyi's eyes widened.

"How can I? Auntie, you support me, I can't thank you enough! Besides, buying flowers is just like choosing a person, you have to find someone you like!"

Her words made the old lady feel relieved.

"That's right!"

Li Ruyi packed up his things, carried the shoulder pole and went home.

Those who were watching the fun even watched her for a while.

When no one was around anymore, Li Ruyi put away his smile and frowned.

She felt that her performance just now was very bad.

Two people said they were going to get the money, but they never came back. After a while, they just asked the children to come over and said they didn't want it.

Li Ruyi thought that she should follow. Even if the deal was not reached this time, they could still talk and meet next time.

But the child came back and said that he was obviously embarrassed.

The next time someone like this comes into contact with her, he will have to run away, and it will be even more difficult to make a deal.

Moreover, Li Ruyi actually found that he felt a little embarrassed.

She wiped her face. It was indeed because she hadn't done this kind of job that required her to be in the spotlight for many years that her skills had become rusty.

I remember when she was singing little songs, she would sell wine if she was asked to, and sell flowers if she was asked to. She would sell whatever could make money!

Ten years have passed, and he has become more shameless! ?

Li Ruyi shook her head. That wouldn’t work. How could one make money if he was thin-skinned?

She reflected again on her behavior of standing still at the entrance of the village and felt even worse.

She put one hand on the carrying pole and slapped her thigh with the other.

"Why don't you be more diligent!"

How many people in this village haven’t come out to see the sight?

The purpose of this is to attract other people's attention. How can people buy if they don't even look at it?

After a series of reflections, Li Ruyi began to rethink his own actions.

She felt that she should not be so impatient next time and should not open the box as soon as she arrived at the village entrance. She should find a way to talk to people and then lead them into the village.

Showing it to others as you walk, walk one section and then the next...

So how can we make talking to people interesting?

Li Ruyi walked from dawn to dusk before returning to Sanjia Village.

She carried the box into the village quietly, but when she passed by the door of the village head's house, someone called her.

"Hey!"

Li Ruyi paused for a moment and then the person who called her called her.

“Ruyi, come here!”

This is because Li Ruyi is brave. If it were someone else, no one would dare to go there in the pitch-black darkness!

The headman's wife didn't know how long she had been waiting. She opened the door and welcomed Li Ruyi into the house.

"You kid really became a peddler!"

Li Ruyi's hat was now placed on the wooden box, and her little face was dark red as she walked.

"That's right! Just do it! There's no point in procrastinating."

The headman's wife patted her. Li Ruyi entered the room and saw the headman sitting on the kang, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan.

"Why are you back so late?"

Li Ruyi put the wooden box down.

"Oh, this is the first time and I'm not prepared. I'll just walk away."

As he said this, the village head's wife brought in a large bowl of water. It was ice-cold water that had just been drawn from the well.

Li Ruyi's eyes lit up and he quickly thanked her.

"Thank you, cousin."

The headman’s wife smiled.

"You're welcome! Drink now!"

Li Ruyi gulped down all the water, and in an instant, sweat started to drip down.
