Chapter 48 Going to Guangzhou

Chen Youran and Lan Shan took a long time to go on this trip, because something happened in the middle of the trip, the time it took was far longer than the week agreed in advance.

They went to Yushi first.

The last time I went to play, I was extravagant. I took a car, and the round-trip fare cost more than 100.Now that they have to be diligent and thrifty to manage their families, naturally they can no longer be so wasteful, so they take the train.

The car is the slowest kind of green leather train.It was very hot in the compartment this season, even with the window open and the fan blowing, it was not cool at all, and everyone was sweating profusely.It was more than an hour's journey from Yun County to Yushi. The train swayed slowly and stopped at every station. In the end, they walked for a whole morning. When they got off the train, both of them were soaked.

But proper patience is worth it, and the fare for this trip is only [-] yuan.

Chen Youran held up a broken fan made of palm leaves, and waved it nonchalantly, most of the hot wind blown on Lan Shan's body.Under the scorching sun, the two stood at the gate of the train station to check the bus route.

Chen Youran was looking at the stop sign, and Lan Shan was looking at her.At this moment, Lan Shan suddenly realized that Chen Youran was actually not that delicate.In other words, her coquettishness is time-sharing, and she complains on weekdays, but when she is really suffering, she doesn't say a word.

"Why don't you take a break first?" Lan Shan asked suddenly.

"Is it too hot?" Chen Youran turned her head to look at her, moved the hand holding the fan over, fanned her face vigorously for a while, looked around, and pointed to a small restaurant in front, "Let's go Sit over there for a while, buy a bottle of water, and eat something by the way."

Lan Shan didn't refute, and followed her footsteps.

There was an electric fan in the store, and the two of them felt alive after blowing it against each other for a while.

Chen Youran ordered fried rice, and went to the canteen next door to buy a bottle of water.The two people who went out for the first time were unprepared. They were really embarrassed, thirsty and hungry, but the things in the car were sold at extremely expensive prices, so they didn't dare to buy anything.

She unscrewed the water bottle and pushed it to Lan Shan first, "Drink some water."

Lan Shan took a sip and handed it back. She gulped down half of the bottle, wiped her face with a napkin, let out a sigh of relief, and collapsed on the chair.Lan Shan thought for a while, picked up her fan, and fanned her for a while.

Chen Youran sat up straight and smiled at her, "What are you doing? There are fans in the store, so don't use this."

"I'll just play around." Lan Shan withdrew her hand, not letting her take the fan away.But soon, the weird meal Chen Youran ordered was delivered.This is also a local specialty. The fried rice is filled with shredded tofu, shredded potatoes, shredded pork, ham, cabbage and bean rice. It looks colorful and tastes very rich.

The store's homemade pickled radish was placed on the table against the wall. Chen Youran put a plate in a small plate, it was crisp and refreshing, and it was served with fried rice, which just relieved the only bit of greasiness.

More importantly, a bowl of fried rice only charges two yuan, and a bowl of sour soup is also provided.

After sitting in the car this morning, it is strange to say that although I have been sitting all the time, the consumption of the whole person is greater than usual.As soon as the meal came, Chen Youran realized that she was very hungry and started to gobble it up.Only halfway through the meal did I have time to look up at Lan Shan.

Lan Shan's eating movements are much more elegant than hers, but the speed is not slow, and there is only half of the bowl left.Chen Youran guessed that she was probably hungry too, and felt that one meal might not be enough, so she turned to look at the price list posted on the wall, and ordered another egg made with sweet wine.

Four eggs, exactly two per person, filled the gap left in the stomach after eating.Take another sip of soup, and the whole person relaxes.

The boss is a talkative person. When the two of them had dinner, he stood aside and chatted without saying a word.Chen Youran casually asked him to go to the city center and how many buses he should take, only to learn that he could walk across an alley from here to the vicinity of the city center without taking a car at all.

So after eating, the two entered the alley under the guidance of the boss.

This alley is really long, so long that Chen Youran once wondered if the boss was fooling them, or if they went the wrong way.Fortunately, after persisting for a while, I finally heard a faint noise.

The city center is very lively, even if it is not crowded, it can be called bustling.

Standing at the entrance of the alley, Chen Youran squeezed the strap of her backpack tightly, and took a deep breath.This is where she's going to venture out in the future!

It would be a lie to say that I am not worried or afraid at all.After all, when she was 20 years old, she actually had very few things to decide on her own, and she didn't come out much.Now that he wants to start a business by himself, what is the prospect and what kind of difficulties will be encountered, Chen Youran is also worried.

However, she looked at Lan Shan standing beside her, and felt a burst of courage from the bottom of her heart.

This is not the lonely courage when there is no way out, but the courage to move forward from the depths of the heart when a person is trusted by others and understands his own responsibilities.

They had actually been here before last time, but at that time they just watched it in general, and it was more to watch the excitement.Now it is to refer to the sales methods of shops and stalls to see which products are more popular.

The two of them didn't know how to do market research, so they just discussed what they had noticed. Lan Shan was afraid that she would forget, so she prepared a notebook to write down useful things while talking, and organize them when she went back.

With someone as a companion, although it is a completely unfamiliar field, although it is a somewhat boring job, it seems to have become more interesting.

After shopping around for an afternoon, the two of them started looking for a place to stay after memorizing the contents of the two pieces of paper.

Everything in the city center is good, but the price is expensive, so the two simply went back to the hotel where they stayed near No. [-] Middle School when they came last time, had dinner in the evening, and took advantage of the opportunity to stroll around the neighborhood, looking for rental houses.

According to Chen Youran's point of view, they are going to rent a house anyway, so they can save Lan Shan and Chen Yanran's school fees and rent an independent two-bedroom, one-living room. .In this way, in order to facilitate their schooling, it is natural to rent a house near No. [-] Middle School.

There are many students renting houses here, so there are many houses and the prices are not expensive.The two looked at several houses and finally settled on one.

The mountains in the southwest are steep, and the cities are also ups and downs.This house is said to be on the first floor, but it should be regarded as a semi-basement. The room inevitably looks a bit cold and the brightness is not high.But fortunately, it is a one-story tile-roofed house with a single-door detached courtyard, with two rooms and a living room that doubles as a kitchen, so the space is quite large.

Moreover, the entrance is a separate small yard, and a grape is planted. The variety is the local crystal grape, which is small in size and green in color. It is the season at this time, and bunches of crystal clear grapes are hanging down, making people salivate.

"This is grown by myself. Pick it up and give it to your relatives and friends. It's not yet harvest time. You can pick it yourself if you want to eat it." The landlord said generously.

Holding a bunch of grapes in her hands, Chen Youran turned to look at Lan Shan, her eyes were sparkling, and there were two words of "like".

"What about the price?" Lan Shan asked calmly.

"Who do you live in and how many people are there?" the landlord asked.

Knowing that there were three people, the landlord proposed to charge per head, but Lan Shan refuted, "We are not co-renting. If you rent to a family of three, it is impossible to charge per head, right?"

In the end, I killed and killed, grinded and grinded, and finally agreed to 100 yuan a month, but I had to pay half a year's rent in one go, and I had to take care of the water and electricity myself.

"I'm really afraid of you students, each of you is better than the other." The landlord looked helpless, "A few days ago, there was a one who paid [-] yuan. I didn't rent it, but now you are suppressing it." The words are so Said, but there was no displeasure on his face.

Chen Youran watched from the side, and always felt that the price could be negotiated, thanks to Lan Shan's good looks and soft-spoken voice, which is really likable.

"Let's buy a mattress and summer quilt first, sleep for two days, and move the rest from home." Chen Youran walked around the room and said to Lan Shan.Anyway, if you have them at home, you can save a lot of money on purchasing.

This day was really tiring, and the hotel had already paid for the room, so the two of them simply didn't pack up and went back to sleep there.I plan to finish shopping in the city center the next day, buy what I need, and come back to pack it when the sun is shining at noon.

After staying in Yushi for another three days, the two settled the house and finished their market research, so they went to the provincial capital to buy goods.

The wholesale market was very lively, with people coming and going, but the types of goods were not as many as the two of them thought, and the prices were not cheap.

The two of them sat on the steps of the wholesale market with glutinous rice in their hands. Chen Youran sighed solemnly, "The situation is not optimistic. Excluding the cost, a piece of clothing only earns two or three yuan, not counting the round-trip fare and our It’s too difficult to do this business, isn’t it?”

They are a small business now, and they only need a few hundred pieces in one trip. It seems that the profit is not bad, but it may take a long time to ship the goods. After sharing it, they can only earn more than a dozen yuan a day after working hard. It may be difficult to make a living, but it is completely impossible to make a fortune from this.

"There must be something wrong." Lan Shan took a bite of the glutinous rice.What she wants is salty mouth, which is wrapped with potatoes, sour cowpea, sour radish, zheer root and oily pepper. This bite just hits the sour radish. A layer of soy flour, the taste is so rich that Lan Shan couldn't help squinting her eyes.

Chen Youran said, "We two little girls are new faces, and we have few goods, so the price will definitely not come down."

After all, it is impossible for them to set up street stalls to buy products that are too expensive. The cheap ones have small profits but high sales, so it is normal for them to not be as expected.And the goods they are optimistic about belong to different stores.A family can only get a dozen or so pieces. If the quantity is small, the price will not be able to keep down.

But if they just admit it like this, the two of them will not be reconciled.To start this business, not only do you need to earn living expenses, but you also need to gradually save money.This is related to the future livelihood of the family and cannot be sloppy.

"It's fine if the price doesn't come down, and the variety is not as much as I thought." Lan Shan said again.

This is a problem. They have seen it before, and some of them are selling very well.But in this wholesale market, some can't be found, some are sold out, and only one or two items are still in stock.If you want to get the goods here, you can only consider matching and picking something else.

"What should we do now? Why don't we see if there are other channels?" Chen Youran ate the last bite of glutinous rice, stood up and asked.

Lan Shan looked up at her, and suddenly asked, "Tell me, where did you get the goods from the wholesale market?"

"Guangzhou……"

Chen Youran looked at Lan Shan, and Lan Shan looked at her too.

A somewhat bold and crazy idea suddenly appeared in the minds of the two of them.

Chen Youran licked his lips, his voice trembling because of this sudden thought, "Ashu, let's calm down."

"I think it can be considered." Lan Shan looked very calm, "Anyway, it's all the goods, isn't the origin better? There are more varieties and styles, and there is more room for selection. The most important thing is that the price will definitely increase." Much lower."

"But travel expenses are required for traveling, which is also an expense." Chen Youran tried hard to cool down her bloodshot mind.

"The fare is only over 100 yuan." Lan Shan said, "If you take [-] pieces of goods, the cost will only increase by [-] cents. If you take [-] pieces, this cost can be ignored."

"Then... go?" Chen Youran felt that she had persuaded her.

Lan Shan took a deep breath, "Go and see."
