I was a daigou in the 60s

He made several trips to the hardware store to buy the necessary parts and successfully repaired two before dusk.

"holly!"

Liang Zheng ran in sweating profusely and reported that he had visited all the self-employed people in the town.

and presented the option of acquisition or hiring.

"Most people agreed to our terms, but a few were very stubborn."

After hearing this, Xiao Dongqing just nodded slightly, as if all this was within his expectations.

At this time, Shen Zhong also came back.

Xiao Dongqing leaned over to look at the small bucket of tofu, thinking about his next plan.

All the stinky tofu was sold out and the stall was empty.

"Brother Dongqing, this is a good sign! We have sold all our tofu."

Shen Zhong patted the bulging leather bag on his waist and said excitedly.

"Doing business is so exciting. It makes money faster than gambling!"

"I've already made three hundred yuan a day. If I keep going like this, I can make ten thousand yuan a month!"

"Don't be too happy too soon. These 300 yuan are just sales. The actual profit may still be negative."

Xiao Dongqing frowned, took the briefcase and counted the money carefully.

"When you add up the costs of your small workers, soybeans, water and electricity bills, etc., we are actually losing money."

Shen Zhong looked confused.

"Why? How can we still lose money?"

"Just think about it, the wages of thirty laborers."

"There are also expenses for soybeans, water, electricity and food. These are all costs."

Xiao Dongqing explained.

"Also, we didn't soak enough soybeans yesterday, so we made less tofu today."

"Soybeans usually need to be soaked for twelve hours. Soybeans soaked today can't be used until tomorrow."

He pointed to the wooden barrels piled not far away and said.

"Here are sixty barrels of soybeans, each weighing fifty jin.

Once we find a stable soybean supplier, we can increase our production.”

Liang Zheng and Shen Zhong were stunned by the number; they didn't expect it to be so large.

"Dongqing, when we have money in the future, can we buy a few more soy milk machines?"

"Find more soybean suppliers to make the stinky tofu business bigger and better?"

Liang Zheng's eyes were full of anticipation.

Xiao Dongqing nodded.

"Yes, that's it."

Liang Zheng became excited again, while Xiao Dongqing seemed very calm.

"These two soymilk machines have been repaired. Let's put the other broken ones in the warehouse for now."

After dealing with these matters, Xiao Dongqing left the factory.

He went to the bank and borrowed a considerable loan using the factory as collateral.

Then he found an old hotel in town that was not doing well.

After several days of negotiation by Zhang Hong, he finally bought it at a reasonable price.

And transformed it into a large supermarket called "Wankeman".

Five days later, the newly renovated supermarket officially opened.

At the same time, in a duck farm, Su Zhilan was feeding the ducks.

She dragged the heavy feed container, but was thinking about what Yin Meifang told her.

Her husband has been behaving strangely lately, and there are even rumors that he is buying clothes for other women.

They also engaged in intimate acts.

Now, he hasn't been home for five days, which makes Su Zhilan extremely worried and confused.

Su Zhilan couldn't help but recall the words that Yin Meifang had inadvertently revealed.

This made her thoughts unconsciously drift towards the possibility that she didn't want to face: her husband's betrayal.

If he really has someone else outside, what will happen to my life and my daughter's life?

"Zhilan, why are you always so sad lately? Is Xiao Dongqing being mean to you again?"

Aunt Su put down the work in her hands and said angrily.

"I really regret saying something nice for him before. This kind of man is really infuriating!"

"Auntie Su, don't say that..."

Su Zhilan responded softly, trying to calm Aunt Su's anger.

"Zhilan, you are just too kind."

Aunt Su walked up to Su Zhilan, held her shoulders, and spoke earnestly.

"We women should be strong and independent, why do we have to rely on men?"

"We can live well without them."

"You don't have to worry about his expression. End this relationship as soon as possible."

Su Zhilan was silent.

Xiao Dongqing, apart from occasional scolding, how much have you contributed to this family?

"But the thought of divorce sent a wave of panic over how to explain it to her young daughter.

"Aunt Su...I don't want to talk about this now..."

There was a hint of bitterness in Su Zhilan's voice.

Aunt Su sighed, knowing that Zhilan's personality would make it difficult for her to change.

"You are always soft-hearted, which gives those people an opportunity to take advantage of you."

Seeing that Zhilan was still depressed, Aunt Su decided to change the subject.

"Okay, don't be sad.

I heard there's a new big supermarket opened in the east of town. Let's go check it out after get off work."

“What’s so interesting about the supermarket?”

Su Zhilan asked doubtfully.

“This supermarket is different.”

Aunt Su described it enthusiastically.

“A typical supermarket is only a few square meters and sells small daily items.

But this one was renovated from an old hotel and covers several hundred square meters.

It is three stories high and has everything you need, including clothes, toys, daily necessities, and many snack shops.

This boss is so creative, I want to move in!"

Su Zhilan's eyes lit up, surprised by such a new thing.

In her impression, supermarkets are just small shops in the alleys that sell tissues and candies.

It’s incredible that there is such a big supermarket now and you can buy clothes there!

"Okay, Aunt Su, we'll go check it out after get off work."

Su Zhilan nodded in agreement.

……

Wankeman Supermarket is indeed worthy of its reputation, and its magnificent appearance is amazing.

Two red curtains hung from the third floor, and the sound of firecrackers continued outside the supermarket.

It attracted many curious residents to come and watch.

When Su Zhilan and Aunt Su stepped into the supermarket, they were immediately shocked by the spacious and bright space.

The shelves are filled with a wide variety of goods, from snacks to drinks.

From daily necessities to fresh fruits and vegetables, everything is available, it's like entering a whole new world.

Su Zhilan was amazed as she walked.

"Auntie Su, look, the sweet potatoes here are cheaper than at the vegetable market. Won't the boss lose money?"

"A sweet potato costs ten cents at the market, but here I can get three for only twenty cents. What a bargain!"

Aunt Su was also surprised.

Su Zhilan and Aunt Su strolled through the supermarket and found that the prices of many items were surprisingly low.

"I heard there's a clothes shop on the second floor, and there's a coat that's less than 20 yuan."

one customer said excitedly.

"Twenty yuan? How is that possible? How can the quality be good?"

Su Zhilan asked doubtfully.

"Don't worry, I checked, and the quality of these clothes is about the same as those in specialty stores!"

Aunt Su replied.

After hearing this, the people around started talking and a group of people rushed to the second floor.

Su Zhilan and Aunt Su also followed curiously.

The second floor has a similar layout to the first, but is filled with clothing and children's toys instead of groceries.

At first glance, a fat old man was greeting customers in front of his stall.

The crowd was already packed.

"Everyone, slow down. Don't be in a hurry. Take your time."
