Stargirl's guide to life in the 70s

Yu Jiang walked to the door of the house and knocked on the door. After confirming that the people inside heard it, he stood aside and waited quietly.

The person who opened the door was an old man in his sixties. It seemed that Yu Jiang had interrupted his work. He was still wearing work clothes and holding a piece of bamboo in one hand.

Suddenly seeing such a stranger, the old man's eyes became a little more wary, but after all, Yu Jiang was just a pretty girl, so the old man still tried his best to make himself not look so fierce.

Yes, the old man had a world-weary face and a scar on the right corner of his eye, which gave him a sinister look.

However, Yu Jiang was not afraid of things like his appearance, so he just expressed his intention to the old man.

"Hello, uncle, I am a military member of the nearby army. I accidentally saw the umbrella you sold to the department store today and thought it was very beautiful.

I happened to want to buy a few more to give to the elders in my family, and also wanted to meet someone who can make such umbrellas, so I asked the teller for your address. "

Afraid that what he said would not be convincing, Yu Jiang also took out three oil-paper umbrellas he bought in a department store to prove that he was really just here to buy umbrellas.

Hearing that it was someone who liked his umbrella, the vigilance in the old man's eyes relaxed a bit, and then he opened the door and brought Yu Jiang in: "Come with me."

As he spoke, the old man led Yu Jiang into the house. As he walked, he said to Yu Jiang: "My surname is Ji, and I am 64 years old. Because I still have two brushes in my hand and can make a living, so others call me Ji As long as I say Master Ji, you can call me that too."

Yu Jiang naturally followed suit: "Okay, then I'll leave it to you, master."

Then Yu Jiang followed Master Ji to a special workshop, where there were dozens of ready-made oil-paper umbrellas and several semi-finished products.

Yu Jiang was looking at it, but suddenly he heard Master Ji say: "You have good taste. In the department store, you took away some of my favorite umbrellas, old man."

Yu Jiang also smiled: "That's good, you and I are heroes."

After speaking, Yu Jiang added: "It's easy to talk about the price. As long as you don't hide your secrets, I might be able to clear out your inventory today!"

Master Ji didn't take Yu Jiang's words seriously. He just thought that Yu Jiang regarded these things as curiosities, and it would be great to be able to buy a few of them.

It's all for sale anyway, and he hopes his umbrella will be given to those who can truly appreciate it.

"It's not impossible to sell this umbrella to you, but you can guarantee that whoever gets the umbrella will take good care of my achievements."

It is not an exaggeration to say that this issue is not easy to embarrass, and it is even said to be deliberately making things difficult. Because even if Yu Jiangying will properly handle these oil-paper umbrellas, she can't guarantee what the people who get them will do.

This means that whether or not to sell it is a matter of Master Ji's word.

"You...

How about I take a photo of the umbrella for you every once in a while, and you can reimburse me for the cost of the photo and the cost of sending the letter.

Of course, if there is no problem with the cost, I can take one picture for you every week. "

Master Ji almost choked to death when he heard what Yu Jiang said: "You girl, you are so unreasonable! How much did I pay for this umbrella? Not to mention the cost of sending the letter, that photo is so expensive It’s just over a dollar!

I also take a photo every week!

If you want my old man’s life, just say so! "

Yu Jiang couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Don't you always believe that I can protect these umbrellas?"

After saying that, he regained his composure and assured Master Ji seriously: "Master Ji, don't worry. I'm not the kind of person who would waste other people's things. I won't make fun of other people's hard work. My friend Not that kind of person."

Master Ji's eyebrows relaxed again, hum! Even if this little girl has a wink, this is how she begs him to buy something. What was the photo taken just now? This is obviously making fun of his old man!

"Okay, let's see what kind of things I have here, old man, that can catch your little girl's eyes!"

After hearing this, Yu Jiang began to choose umbrellas in the room that he thought were suitable for giving away.

Master Ji didn't need to explain, but Yu Jiang could tell that Bai Lao's umbrellas were a lot prettier than the ones in department stores!

It’s not that Mr. Ji deliberately took those unsightly ones to sell in department stores, but due to the current situation, there are many umbrellas here. Once taken outside, it is very likely that he will be labeled as a capitalist. .

Moreover, everyone's appreciation level is also different. Master Ji and Yu Jiang just have higher vision than ordinary people.

If it were anyone else, who wouldn’t like those umbrellas in department stores? If they didn't have any money or were reluctant to sell, they would really like to move the counters home.

Only Yu Jiang, a picky person, could only choose three.

Yu Jiang chose more than 20 umbrellas in a row, and then he chose one for all the women around him. After calculating that there was nothing missing, Yu Jiang took out 68 yuan from his bag and gave it to Master Ji.

Master Ji thought that Yu Jiang would choose four or five in the end, but this girl chose twenty-four in one go!

That’s sixty-eight yuan!

Many workers today cannot earn 60 yuan a month! What kind of background does this girl have? She actually gave him the money without blinking an eye.

Moreover, he originally only wanted to charge two yuan a handful. As a result, the little girl didn't even ask, and just settled with him according to the price in the department store.

This girl... she looks more and more like a taken advantage of her!

She was taken advantage of, no, it was Yu Jiang, but instead of leaving just like that, she put the oil-paper umbrella back into her backpack, blocked the opening of the basket with a cloth, and then continued to discuss with Master Ji.

"Master Ji, can you send packages?"

Master Ji also had a premonition that this little girl Yu Jiang was still holding back some big moves. His left eye jumped just now. This should be a good thing... right...

"What else do you want to do, girl? You asked me if I can send packages...

you! You girl, you don’t want me to send it to you, do you? ! "

I have to tell the truth about Master Ji.

"Well! Yu Jiang looked at Mr. Ji with twinkling eyes. My mother-in-law had to ask for favors on many occasions. Your oil-paper umbrellas are beautiful and practical. Even if you take them out, they are incomparable with those from Youyi Supermarket. It’s not inferior, it’s definitely a good gift as a gift!”

Master Ji was very happy when he heard that Yu Jiang compared the things he made with the high-end goods in the Youyi Supermarket: "Can you be your mother-in-law's boss? Are you sure she will use such things?"

After getting along for a while, Yu Jiang had a good idea of ​​Yu's mother's preferences and temperament, so he agreed happily.

"Of course, why don't you give me your address, and if we need anything later, we will write to you and send you the money for the oil-paper umbrella and the money for shipping the package. After you receive the money, you can send the things to the designated address. Just the address.”

Master Ji thought for a while. Although he had sold oil-paper umbrellas to department stores before, there were only so many people in the county, and Master Ji knew who could buy oil-paper umbrellas.

It's not impossible to find another sales channel for yourself now...

"Okay, then just do as you say."
