The next day was the market day in the county, and it was necessary to go to the market early, so Gao Mingcheng and Duo Mei had already gotten up at dawn.
When the two of them got up, Gao Guobing and the others had not gotten up yet.
So the two of them took the things out gently and then gently closed the door.
As for breakfast, just wait until you get to the market and spend money to buy it.
All the way downstairs to the yard, Duomei first took out the piece of red floral fabric and laid it on the flatbed cart, and then took out all the new clothes in the bag. Gao Mingcheng helped put some of the most beautiful styles Hang on the shelf.
After setting up the stall, the two headed towards the market.
Gao Mingcheng pushed the trolley, and many beauties walked beside him empty-handed, their expressions vaguely showing anticipation and nervousness.
It was still dark, and there were very few pedestrians on the road. The two of them arrived at the market. At this time, the place was already crowded, but there were many sellers and few buyers.
The two searched for a while, quickly found a good empty seat, and occupied it with a trolley.
Gao Mingcheng asked Duomei what he wanted to eat for breakfast, and Duomei said a few steamed buns would be enough, so Gao Mingcheng went to a nearby breakfast place to buy steamed buns.
He bought five meat buns, five vegetarian buns, two fried dough sticks and two cups of soy milk. When he came back with his things, the stall was not open yet.
This is normal. Most of the stores open now are food, hardware, daily necessities, etc. It will take a while before anyone comes to buy them.
But the sellers have to come early to occupy a spot, because in addition to the fixed facade, the stall is mobile. Whoever occupies it first belongs to him, and a good position can affect the quality of business.
While there were no customers yet, the two of them ate their breakfast quickly, and then continued to sort out the clothes on the stall, folding them one by one so that they would look better.
Beside the cart, there are more than 20 bottles of honey, which I plan to sell with them.
It is already daybreak, and there are more and more people in the market. Various hawking sounds are heard, including those selling food, vegetables, pots and pans, but the most eye-catching one is selling rat poison. of.
These rat poison sellers do not occupy a fixed stall. Instead, they push a small cart around, and above the cart, there are some dead rats hanging.
The weather is hot in summer, and fresh rats will soon emit a bad smell, so most of the hanging rats are dried rats, or simply some rat tails are hung to prove that the rat poison is really effective.
Gao Mingcheng doesn't need to buy rat poison. Although dogs are nosy when it comes to rats, there are really two good dogs at home, so there are really fewer rats.
The black tiger and the elf often catch voles and rabbits at the foot of the mountain to eat. They are also merciless towards the mice in the house. They will bite one to death when they see one. As time goes by, very few mice dare to visit their house. .
"Hey, are you really selling clothes here? Your dress looks good today!" A slightly familiar voice sounded. Gao Mingcheng looked around and saw that it was the young woman he met in the photo studio yesterday.
Duo Mei immediately smiled and said: "Doesn't it look good? This dress of mine has been worn by celebrities in Hong Kong. If you don't believe it, look at it!"
She took out a fashion magazine, opened a page, and showed it to the young woman.
In fact, they are not completely similar, but they are somewhat similar.
"Oh, this...is this also bought from Yangcheng? The celebrities in it are so beautiful!" The woman excitedly took the fashion magazine and flipped through it.
This magazine was specially brought by many beauties. I have to say that with this magazine, I feel that the quality of my clothes has been upgraded to a higher level.
People have a herd mentality, and the originally deserted stall has attracted other customers since the first customer arrived.
Some people looked up at the clothes hanging on the wooden rack, some looked down at the clothes on the trolley, some gestured with the clothes on their bodies, and some even asked directly for the price.
Duomei mainly entertains people, and only when she is too busy, Gao Mingcheng will help sell women's clothing. Nowadays, there are few men selling women's clothing. Some of them are young and thin-skinned, and they will blush when they see Gao Mingcheng.
But some people heard Gao Mingcheng praise something like "it looks good, it's very suitable" and so on, and they had the urge to buy it.
Gao Mingcheng is 1.8 meters tall, has good facial features, a heroic temperament, a well-proportioned figure, and is well-dressed. It is no wonder that he makes the opposite sex flustered.
With the two people's busy work, the stall was quickly opened.
The first one to buy was the young woman I met yesterday. She bought two dresses at once and even wanted to buy the fashion magazine.
But many beauties must not be sold!
These magazines were all carried back from Yangcheng with great effort, and they are still useful!
After opening, sales went smoothly. Their goods were fashionable and the prices were lower than those who actually purchased goods from Yangcheng.
There are a lot of goods in Yangcheng. If the quantity is large, the discount can be better, but the current logistics is not developed. The transportation is slow and unsafe, and it costs a lot of money.
The styles of their clothes are from Yangcheng, but the goods are local. Gao Shouwang obtained the fabric at a low price from the textile factory through his relationship with his son. The sewing was done by Dong Feixia and a group of apprentices, so the cost was much less.
As the saying goes, if you have high quality and low price, you won’t have to worry about selling. After one morning, the clothes on the stall were reduced by two-thirds!
Even the honey sold with it was more than half sold.
Although many beauties can read, they are still not good at math, so it is Gao Mingcheng who is responsible for collecting and changing money. At this time, the money bag is already bulging.
The sun is high, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the number of people in the market is gradually decreasing.
Gao Mingcheng didn't want to continue basking in the sun, so he said to Duo Mei, "Shall we go back?"
Many beauties reluctantly looked around and found that there were not many people left, so they said: "Go back!"
It was not yet noon when the two returned to the family compound of the police station.
There was still no one at home, but Gao Guobing gave him a key, so he could come and go freely. After stacking the remaining goods in the room, Duo Mei was ready to go to the kitchen to cook. She had helped Zhao Dongmei in the kitchen before, so she was familiar with the layout here and could easily get started.
In about half an hour, the fragrant meals came out one after another.
When cooking in the county, we don't use big iron pots, but use pressure cookers. We also use small iron pots for cooking, which makes Du Mei, who is used to using large iron pots, a little uncomfortable.
In her opinion, the food cooked over firewood and in a big iron pot is more delicious.
So she said to Gao Mingcheng: "Can our house in the county build an earthen stove like the one in the village?"
Gao Mingcheng thought for a moment and then said: "Then we have to build another kitchen, otherwise the chimney will be difficult to install. There is still a little space behind the house where we can build a kitchen. Let's do this. When the house is capped, I will Tell the contractor and ask him to buy more materials."
"Great!" Many beauties got their wish and couldn't help but smile.
At twelve o'clock at noon, Zhao Dongmei came back in a hurry, and saw the cooked food at a glance, so she smiled and said, "You just came back from the market? How is business today?"
"Okay! Business is very good! Most of the clothes we brought have been sold!" Duo Mei said with a smile, feeling very good.
Zhao Dongmei looked at her and smiled, and said: "It's good that you can make money on your own! You don't know, I was busy with something this morning. There was a family in the east of the city who beat his wife. Half dead, someone sued her to the Women's Federation, so we came to mediate. After questioning, we found out that the wife in this family had no job, and secretly gave her father-in-law's medicine money to her parents. After she was found out, she... It’s a good fight!”
"Hey, this woman needs to be able to make money for herself! We saw that she was beaten half to death, which was really pitiful. We asked her if she wanted a divorce, but she refused to divorce. We had no choice but to persuade her husband to calm down. , and warned her husband that beating someone to death is against the law and will lead to jail time."
After Zhao Dongmei finished talking about what happened in the morning, she sighed.
Working in the Women's Federation, I have experienced this kind of thing a lot, but every time I experience it, I feel unhappy for Zhao Dongmei, who is also a woman.
So she liked it very much when she saw that many beauties were able to do business independently.
After hearing this story, Duo Mei felt a sense of urgency out of thin air. She felt that she needed to make up for her math knowledge, and at least she had to be able to collect and change money.
She knew that Gao Mingcheng had his own things to do, and he would not be able to help her every time he went to the market in the future, so he had to be able to settle accounts by himself.
While they were talking, Gao Guobing and Gao Yue also came back.
"Guobing, Gao Yue, come, let's try these beautiful craftsmanship together!" Zhao Dongmei had already withdrawn from her previous emotions and cheerfully greeted everyone to sit down and eat.
Naturally, everyone praised this meal.
After the meal, Gao Yue found Gao Mingcheng and said: "Hey, do you know what the most common cases in the police station are now? They are crowd fights! Nine out of ten calls received are related to fighting for water! The minor ones are just injuries. , if it’s serious, some people will be beaten to death!”
Gao Mingcheng could only remain silent when he heard this.
He knew that the weather was dry this year. It had not rained a few times since summer until winter. There was a drizzle in autumn, and the rain stopped before the road surface was wet.
Due to the dry weather, this year's autumn tigers are strong and the winter is warmer than in previous years.
As the saying goes, one autumn rain brings another cold. Without the autumn rain, there will naturally be no cold.
Gao Guobing lit a cigarette, smoked it with a relaxed expression, and said to Gao Mingcheng: "You are right to hide. We are all members of the same ancestral clan. It would not be good if you accidentally hurt me."
Gao Mingcheng could only smile bitterly this time. Who knew that being so skilled could turn out to be an annoyance?
Because there was no phone, he could not know what was happening in the village in time, so Gao Mingcheng stayed in the county for an extra day.
With rare free time, Gao Mingcheng took two bottles of honey to Xiao Jinfeng's transportation company.
He planned to drive away with the car. After he was reborn, he had not touched the car and his hands were raw. But fortunately, I have experience after all. After a short period of familiarity, that feeling came.
He looked ahead, stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel, and drove around the wide field.
This was a bit shocking in the eyes of Xiao Jinfeng and Gao Mingwan.
Especially Gao Mingwan, he has been learning from the driving master for so long, and now he is still not good at driving. However, his second brother dared to drive a car not long after he got started!
And it drives pretty well!
At this moment, Gao Mingwan deeply doubted himself.
He felt that among the four brothers, the second brother might be the smartest.
