When traveling into a period novel, it is reasonable to just lie down and watch the show!
Chapter 17 Walking the Streets
After being taught a lesson by Lin's mother, Lin Yinyin began to behave like a quail, being low-key in her life and high-profile in her work.
Today she was going out to make some money and test the waters.
By the way, I'll try out the skill I just got yesterday. It makes me excited just thinking about it.
After finishing breakfast obediently, I took the little fat boy Lin Jianan to school. The little fat boy had lost weight.
His face looked smaller. It seemed that the food Lin Xiafang cooked was very effective. The little fat boy's appetite had decreased.
Keep up the good work, and suddenly Lin Yinyin feels like a little genius. Isn’t this a win-win situation?
It can not only help Lin Xiafang get rid of her love brain, but also help the fat boy Lin Jianan lose weight, which is really good~
After sending Lin Jianan to school, Lin Yinyin found a deserted place and used her disguise skill.
When Lin Yinyin appeared at the entrance of the alley again, she had turned into stone.
Shitou is thin, a little over 1.7 meters tall, and has an ordinary appearance, which makes him a perfect fit for this job.
No one will notice me walking on the street, perfect~
Lin Yinyin, using the identity of "Shitou", went to the entrance of the black market and took a look around.
Why didn’t I go in? It’s because I don’t have any money.
You have to pay a 10-cent entrance fee before you can go in and sell goods!
He said that he couldn't keep watch for them for nothing.
Lin Yinyin didn't have the money, so she could only leave in shame.
The black market charges an entrance fee, but the supply and marketing cooperatives and grocery stores don’t. Lin Yinyin turned around and went to these two places.
I originally wanted to test the waters in the black market to see what the food was selling for. I wouldn’t mind if it was sold at a high price, but I couldn’t afford to lose money!
After so many days of searching, the hot-selling goods are still grains, eggs, pork, etc. Lin Yinyin only sees things that are easy to sell.
It was just the beginning of spring and there weren't that many people selling grain, so she thought she could take the opportunity to make some money.
According to the method of the middle-aged man walking around the streets before,
I stood at the entrance of the alley with a backpack on my back, and sure enough, not long after, I heard a sound behind me.
"Hey, Xiao Wang, why are you here? You didn't even tell me you were here. It would have been better if you could just go home."
Lin Yinyin turned around after hearing the voice and looked for a while to confirm that it was the lady who had done business with the middle-aged man before.
Then he smiled and said:
"Auntie, I just arrived too. I went to your house but no one was home.
I thought you must have gone out to buy groceries.
I was afraid you couldn't see me, so I stood here waiting for you."
Lin Yinyin looked at the vegetable basket slung over the arm of the lady in front of her. What was there to not understand?
"This is my nephew from my mother's side. Look at all the children in the family, he is the most honest.
There's no one at home, and I'm still waiting for me at the entrance of the alley. Look at my puffed face.
I won’t talk to you much today, as I have guests at home.”
After the old lady finished speaking, she pulled Lin Yinyin towards home. However, they didn't walk fast, so what the old ladies behind them said still reached Lin Yinyin's ears.
"You're talking about this sister-in-law Wang. Why does she have so many relatives? Before, there was an old man named Wang who said he was her distant brother from her mother's side."
"Her family isn't from here, so it's normal to have some relatives from other places!"
"It would be fine if these relatives didn't come, but when they do, they're always asking for help, either to borrow money or to do things for you. It's not easy for Sister Wang either~"
Listening to the words of the aunties behind her, Lin Yinyin paused. These aunties~
It’s simple as you think, isn’t it?
Who doesn't have someone visiting and giving gifts these days?
As soon as Lin Yinyin was brought into the courtyard by Aunt Wang, Aunt Wang went outside the gate to take a look and then closed the gate.
"Have you guys changed people? Why didn't the older one come? Why is it you, the younger one, who came instead?"
"Aunt, I don't understand what you are saying. I collected these things myself."
To be honest, Lin Yinyin really didn't know anyone who was older.
"Okay, okay, if you don't tell me, I won't ask. I still know the rules of the underworld.
Let's take a look at what you have brought."
Lin Yinyin smiled and said she followed the rules of the underworld, but she was not a gangster.
"Auntie, the things I brought are all in-demand items, things that are hard to find in the supply and marketing cooperatives...
So, Auntie, you take a look first."
As Lin Yinyin spoke, she took off the cloth covering the backpack.
What caught Aunt Wang's eyes were the round eggs. There were about 50 of them at a glance.
He looked up at Lin Yinyin and realized that this kid was much more capable than the old guy before.
"Come on, let's go inside and talk."
Aunt Wang's eyes were curved with laughter, and she stepped forward to pick up the backpack.
Lin Yinyin saw this and quickly pulled the backpack back, saying, "Don't be so enthusiastic, we're not familiar with each other yet."
"Auntie, I can do it myself."
"That's okay, that's okay."
Aunt Wang curled her lips and walked inside with her people.
After putting the things away, Lin Yinyin said directly:
"Eggs are 8 cents each, cornmeal is cents, and rice is cents.
This is the price without a ticket. It is cheaper with a ticket.
But I don’t want food stamps.”
"So expensive? Are you robbing me? Eggs in the supply and marketing cooperative are only 5 cents each.
Cornmeal is only 8 cents."
Aunt Wang didn't expect that the young man in front of her, who looked kind, had a very dark heart.
This is a really bold price.
"If you think it's too expensive, then go buy it at the supply and marketing cooperative. I have these things that are always easy to sell!"
When Lin Yinyin saw that the aunt wanted to lower the price, she immediately picked up her backpack and left.
She was very considerate and only doubled it.
Doing business is a matter of mutual consent. I'm not forcing you to buy, right?
She is not here to do charity, she still needs to earn money to buy a house in the future!
"Hey, hey, hey, why are you so bad-tempered, my aunt is just saying a few words casually.
How can you do business without bargaining, little brother, don’t you think so? "
Seeing Lin Yinyin was about to leave, Aunt Wang hurriedly stopped her and said with an apologetic smile.
"Since Auntie wants to buy it, let's talk about the price."
....
After several rounds of discussion, the two finally agreed that the price of eggs would remain the same but one egg would be given for every 20 eggs purchased.
Cornmeal was 1.1 cents, rice was 2.3 cents, and Aunt Wang asked for ten pounds of each.
The total amount she received was seven dollars and forty cents, which was considered Lin Yinyin's first pot of gold since she came to this world.
Until the end of the transaction, Aunt Wang smiled and asked Lin Yinyin when she would come again.
But Lin Yinyin is not planning to come to Aunt Wang's place again.
The total business amount was less than ten dollars, but I was almost worn out from talking so much. I might have visited two more stores during the time I spent visiting their store.
When doing business, I prefer to find someone who is straightforward and happy to do the work. Only then can I feel comfortable making money.
After leaving Aunt Wang's house, Lin Yinyin found a deserted place and filled her backpack again.
Walking towards the next transaction location, this time she didn't want to follow the way of the middle-aged man before.
