That morning, Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie counted their money and found that they sold a total of 72 items for 2160. They made their money back in one day and earned more than a thousand.
Duan Mingjie bit the corner of his lower lip, with some regret in his voice, "If I had known better, I would have taken more."
Lu Yao held his arm and rested her head on Duan Mingjie's shoulder, "It's already a lot. We still have more than a hundred dresses that haven't been sold out. If we sell them all, we can make more than five thousand!"
More than five thousand is really a lot in this day and age.
Duan Mingjie sighed, "A trip abroad made me realize that our country is not that poor and money is not that difficult to make."
Lu Yao laughed out loud, "You must be poor if you are poor, but it depends on the place. In a big city like Beijing, not only half of them are working class, but one-tenth. I heard that there are now nine million people in Beijing. , that is to say, at least 900,000 people are employed, and 30 yuan for a skirt is nothing to these people."
Not to mention two hundred pieces, two thousand pieces can be sold.
Besides, they didn’t want cloth tickets and it was foreign goods, so naturally there were people rushing to buy them.
After Lu Yao's analysis, Duan Mingjie felt that this was what happened. He thought for a while and said, "If we go back in a few days, I will go to the south again."
Lu Yao naturally has no objection. If he makes more money now, his path will be smoother next year.
"Okay, I won't follow you next time."
Farming is about to get busy, and she has to supervise Gu Fulan at home. She can no longer let her work in the fields.
It was still early, Duan Mingjie and Lu Yao went to go out to play with Feng Wei, but who knew the door was locked.
Lu Yao blinked, "Isn't he jealous that our skirts are selling so fast and went out to sell skirts again?"
Duan Mingjie's eyebrows skipped a beat, it was really possible.
Duan Mingjie said with a straight face, "You go back, I'll go out and look for him."
"I'll go with you." Lu Yao grabbed his arm, "There are many people and many ideas."
"OK!"
Duan Mingjie and Lu Yao searched the area but could not find Feng Wei. Lu Yao pointed to the bus and said, "Let's take the bus faster."
You can also see what’s going on along the way.
Duan Mingjie pulled Lu Yao and was about to get in the car when he suddenly heard someone talking.
"There is a seller of foreign goods in the old street. The skirts are very beautiful. They cost thirty yuan a piece..."
Duan Mingjie walked over quickly, "Comrade, may I ask if the person you are talking about is a man or a woman?"
The girl was startled and replied tremblingly, "Male, male."
Lu Yao took Duan Mingjie's arm and smiled gently at the frightened girl.
"Little sister, what kind of clothes are they selling? My man also wants to buy me foreign goods," Lu Yao whispered softly, with a smile as gentle as the spring breeze. The girl slowly recovered and was about to speak when she saw Lu Yao's body. A white dress, "Sister, you don't have to buy it. He sells one that is exactly the same as the one you are wearing. I also bought one, take a look."
With that said, the girl showed her the white dress.
Lu Yao smiled at her, "Thank you, little sister."
"It doesn't matter. Your man's accent is quite similar to that of the dealer. Maybe he's from the same country."
When the girl said this, Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie were absolutely sure that it was Feng Wei.
Duan Mingjie was so angry that he pinched his waist and turned half a circle. Lu Yao couldn't hold back the smile on her face. "In which position exactly? Since it is possible that he is a fellow countryman, let's go over and take care of his business."
"Just walk east on the old street, about a few hundred meters, and there is a newly built building next to it."
Lu Yao thanked him and took Duan Mingjie to the old street.
Duan Mingjie gritted his teeth in anger, "Idiot! I have been in the black market for so long and I have no patience at all!"
He's reselling foreign goods in broad daylight. He doesn't want to go home, right?
Lu Yao: "Don't worry, there aren't many people on the old street. It's important that we call him back quickly."
The capital is not like a small place like theirs, where they sell home-made chicken cakes and no one cares about it, but reselling foreign goods is still in an important place like the capital. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is gunning for it!
The two of them hurried over and saw Feng Wei holding the skirt and smiling so hard that he showed two rows of big yellow teeth, "Yes, yes, it's definitely a foreign product, don't worry!"
Duan Mingjie and Lu Yao breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Duan Mingjie stepped forward and was about to walk over. Lu Yao glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw several people in police uniforms walking towards them.
Lu Yao's face turned pale with fright. She tugged on Duan Mingjie's sleeve and said in a trembling voice, "Duan Mingjie, someone is coming."
Duan Mingjie turned to face Lu Yao's frightened eyes and followed her gaze.
Duan Mingjie was suddenly startled, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
Lu Yao took a deep breath and suppressed the fear in her heart. "You go and help Feng Wei leave here first. I'll go over and hold them back."
Duan Mingjie frowned, "No!"
"We don't have anything on hand, and they won't do anything to me, but if Feng Wei is caught, everyone will get the spoils!"
Lu Yao couldn't help but glare at him, "Hurry up! It'll be too late!"
Seeing several police officers getting closer and closer, Duan Mingjie gritted his teeth and strode towards Feng Wei.
Lu Yao took a deep breath and walked towards several police officers.
"Police uncle, where is this place? I seem to be lost."
Several police officers heard that her accent did not sound like a local, "Comrade, you are not a local, are you?"
Lu Yao scratched her ears and looked around in panic, "No, I'm here to see a doctor for my dad. My dad was just discharged from the hospital today. He said he wanted to eat apples. I came out to buy them for him, but soon after I came out, I found him. There’s no way home.”
"Where is your home?"
"It seems to be called Lele Hotel."
Lu Yao reported a hotel not far from their hotel.
"Lu Yao?"
Suddenly, a strange yet somewhat familiar voice sounded next to him.
Lu Yao turned around and looked over. When she saw the person coming, Lu Yao's eyes suddenly lit up, "Uncle Zheng!"
Zheng Weiguo was just passing by. From the back, he looked like Lu Yao, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Zheng Weiguo walked toward them with long legs, "Why are you here?"
The guards quickly followed.
Lu Yao scratched her head, "I'm lost and I'm looking for help from the policeman."
Several police officers saw the epaulettes on Zheng Weiguo's military uniform and quickly saluted, "Hello, sir!"
Zheng Weiguo returned the military salute, and his face returned to a cold expression, "I know this girl, you don't have to worry about it, I will send her back."
Several policemen nodded repeatedly, "Yes!"
Duan Mingjie and Feng Wei should have left successfully by now, and Lu Yao did not bother the policeman anymore, "Thank you, policeman."
"It's okay, it's okay, it's all what we should do."
As soon as the policemen left, Lu Yao looked at Zheng Weiguo and felt guilty.
She could lie to the police uncle, but she didn't dare to lie to Zheng Weiguo.
Fortunately, Zheng Weiguo didn't mention it and turned to look at the guard, "Do you know how to get to Lele Hotel?"
The guard nodded, "I know."
Zheng Weiguo's eyes fell on Lu Yao again, and his voice was gentle, "We will send you back first."
The guard reminded in a low voice, "Boss, the military commander is still waiting for us."
Lu Yao waved her hand quickly, "Uncle Zheng, if you have something to do, please do it first. I can do it myself."
Zheng Weiguo turned his head and glanced at the guard. The guard was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and dared not speak out.
Zheng Weiguo looked at Lu Yao, "It's okay, just chatting, it's not a big deal. I'll take you back first."
