Back to 80s bride

After getting off the train, Chen Minghui was not in a hurry to find a place to live. Anyway, there were only a few guest houses at this time, so it was easy to find.

There was not much dry food left in the bag, luckily Chen Minghui took out the last two, held them in his hands, and ate them while strolling around the sea market.

The mirage in the early 80s is completely different from the modern mirage ten years later.The current Haishi City is just more prosperous than other cities, with a few more high-rise buildings, occasional cars passing by, and more people riding bicycles with [-] bars.

There are many small vendors along the street, selling various snacks.Soy milk fritters, wonton dumplings, and a few small fried shops.There are a few small shops that sell handmade leather shoes to make ready-made clothes.However, there are many factories, and workers are being recruited everywhere.

On the first day, Chen Minghui didn't do anything, just walked around the streets and alleys of Haishi, looking at what the Haishi mainly sells and which stalls are the most profitable.

The food is good, but it's a pity it's not suitable for Chen Minghui, this is a long-term business with little money.What Chen Minghui wants to do is to see money quickly in the short term.

It wasn't until later that Chen Minghui saw a few toy stalls in front of the school, selling well, that Chen Minghui decided to do this.

There are supply and marketing cooperatives in rural areas, and department stores in provinces and cities.The four-storey department store in Haishi has everything from as small as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea to as large as TV refrigerators.

But he didn't stop, he went straight to the second floor, found the shelves selling toys, and looked at them one by one.

The price of toys in the department store is the same as that sold by small vendors outside, which means that either those small vendors do not get their goods from the department store, or the toys sold here can be bargained.

While Chen Minghui was thinking about it, the saleswoman noticed him and asked with a smile, "Kid, what do you want to buy?"

Chen Minghui looked up, she was a woman in her 40s, very kind, she looked at him as if she was looking at her own child, without the arrogance typical of waiters at this time.

Chen Minghui couldn't help but lamented that he was lucky, and showed a childish smile, "Sister, how do you sell this electronic watch?"

The electronic watch that Chen Minghui pointed to was the kind of plastic watch played by children. Two milky white straps were connected to a dial. The display screen of the dial had Arabic numerals and could only display one time.

"One piece, eight pieces." The waiter replied with a smile: "But if you want to call me auntie, my youngest son is older than you."

"Really, if you don't tell me, I don't see it at all." Chen Minghui said: "My eldest sister is 35 this year, and I see you are the same age as my eldest sister."

"Yo, then how old is your eldest sister? You are a rural person. You can tell that you are from the countryside and have never seen the world by looking at the tattered clothes of a child." At this time, there was a bitter voice. Inserting in, it is the waiter who sells fabrics on the opposite side. "Rural people are old in farming, and their 30s look like their 50s, don't they, kid?"

"You look old, but Auntie, my elder sister must be younger than you. You can tell at a glance that you are at least 20 years apart. Auntie, you will be fifty this year!"

"Hahahaha..." A few waiters who were watching the excitement laughed out loud. The mean person was Zhao Pei, who was always running on them because he was a native of Haishi. The waiter who came up from below was a bumpkin. There is a lot of contempt for the rural people.However, Zhao Pei is somewhat related to the manager of the department store, and they dare not offend her.Seeing her being bullied right now is in a good mood.

Fan Chunjuan is in her early forties this year, and Zhao Pei is only in her early thirties. The difference between the two is more than ten years old. What's more, Zhao Pei's family is well-off and pampered. She will definitely not be as old as fifty, and she is even younger than she looks, Chen Minghui said It was just to annoy her on purpose.

Knowing that he did it on purpose, Zhao Pei is still angry, which woman can bear it.

Zhao Pei said angrily: "I'm not very old, I'm blind, I still go out to buy something, save money, go to the hospital to get my eyes treated."

Fan Chunjuan retorted, "The children want to buy my things, what right do you have to push them away. I advise you to take care of yourself first. The manager just came here and got angry at you. Why don't you study yours if you have time?" How to sell the cloth?"

"Sell a fart, no tickets, no money, a bunch of poor people, what can I do."

"Kids, don't be as knowledgeable as her, that person is just like that, tell auntie, what do you want to buy?" Fan Chunjuan asked with a smile after she finished teasing Zhao Pei.

"Auntie, if I want a hundred pieces of this kind of watch, do you think it can be cheaper?"

Haishi is the front line of reform and opening up, and many businessmen come here to do business.Among them, more and more people came to their department store to buy goods.As soon as Chen Minghui asked for a hundred, Fan Chunjuan understood.

"Are you going to take it out and set up a small stall?" Fan Chunjuan said with a loving face, "Auntie is also helping the family at this age. I know that it is not easy to support a family at a young age. Auntie will give you the lowest price, and each watch will be cheaper for you. Triangle money, what do you want?"

Fan Chunjuan asked, and recommended to him one by one the toys that usually sold well on the counter.

"Like this kind of small train, it is equipped with batteries and can run around. Many people will buy some, but it is expensive. This one costs more than ten yuan. Few parents are willing to buy it for their children, but the profit is also high. "

Chen Minghui thought for a while and said, "I want two."

Fan Chunjuan's eyes flickered, and taking advantage of Zhao Pei's inattention, she took out a pack of toys from under the counter, including this little train.

"These are all defective toys." Fan Chunjuan whispered: "We usually buy them back for our children or relatives' children to play with. In fact, it doesn't affect anything, it's just scratched. I'll give you a cheaper price, you Take it out and sell it."

Chen Minghui understood Fan Chunjuan's kindness, nodded and smiled immediately, "Thank you, auntie."

Excluding the phone bills these days and the household left for Qian Yu, the capital he brought out to do business is 820 yuan.One hundred was left for turnover, and the rest went into toys.

After receiving the goods, Chen Minghui did not stay in Haishi, but went to the nearby Zhushi instead.

Although Zhushi and Haishi are only separated by a province and city, and it is only a dozen hours' drive, the economy is much worse.Haishi is full of small stalls, but there are only a few here and there in Zhushi.

Chen Minghui came by bus, and fell asleep on the bus at night, and it was almost noon when he arrived.

Chen Minghui got off the bus at the bus station, carrying a big bag of things, stopped a woman with a friendly face and asked, "Hello, big sister, how many schools do we have here where primary and secondary schools are together?"

"There are three or four, what's the matter?" The woman asked in confusion.

Chen Minghui smiled wryly, "My family is from the countryside, so I came to visit relatives. My aunt told me that her family lived next to a primary and secondary school, and told me that she would wait for me at the main entrance of that primary and secondary school. But when I got off the bus, I told him I forgot the name of my school."

The woman shook her head, "It's hard to find, there are several."

Chen Minghui thought for a while, patted his forehead, and suddenly realized: "By the way, I heard from my aunt that the children who can go to their school have good family conditions. Look, there is such a school among these schools." ?"

The woman said: "Oh, then I know which school you are talking about, it should be the No. [-] Middle School, but it is quite far from here, you take the No. [-] bus and then take the No. [-] bus..."

Chen Minghui took a pen and paper, carefully wrote down the route the woman said, and rushed over without stopping.

The timing of his visit was also coincidental, as soon as the stall was set up, the students were out of school.

The swarming students quickly noticed the new stall at the school gate, and they stopped out of curiosity, but they couldn't walk after just one glance.

There are few toys in this era, so there are rarely so many toys here for children to choose at will.

The young children were immediately attracted, blinking their big eyes and looking at the various toys on the ground.

"Kid, what do you like?"

The child stretched out his chubby fingers, "That little train?"

Chen Minghui smiled, installed a TV on the little train, and the little train started running around the track.

"Ah... it moved." The child stared at it with big eyes, wondering, "Mom, you can see that it can run by itself."

"It's powered by batteries. As long as there are batteries, it can run all the time." Chen Minghui introduced: "Children like it, buy a set for them to play with."

The hula-la-la-la running little train was very cool, and it attracted a lot of children in a short time, including many older junior high school students.Regardless of whether you have seen it or not, at this moment, the small stall is surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.People outside can't see what's going on inside at all, and they don't know what's going on inside. The more this is the case, the more people's curiosity is stimulated, and the more they try to squeeze in.

When I squeezed inside, I was immediately attracted by this little train running back and forth on the track.

A little boy sitting on his father's head said: "Dad, I like that little train, can you buy me one?"

His father asked, "How do you sell this train?"

"A set of 15 yuan, seven trains in a set." Chen Minghui took out the last few small trains, installed batteries, and put them on the track.Immediately, the colorful little trains started running, making them more attractive.

"Dad, I want it." The little boy sat on his father's neck and was about to jump down when his father hugged him.

"Hey, I can't jump, I fell on you."

"I want a little train..."

The little boy's father was well dressed, but the toy worth more than ten yuan just smiled helplessly, "I'll buy it for you." Turning to Chen Minghui, he said, "Can it be cheaper?"

"I really can't. I only earn a few cents for this set, and what I earn is hard work." In fact, Chen Minghui added three yuan for a set of this kind of train, which is a lot of money.

The man wanted to bargain, but the little boy started crying. "Buy me a set, Dad, I like it so much."

The man thought that his family was in a good position, and he wasn't short of these ten yuan, so he gave the money to Chen Minghui on the spot.Chen Minghui took out the battery from the small train and handed the small train over. The man said, "How did you take the battery out?"

"I bought this myself, not a toy belt. I installed the battery to show the effect to the children."

The little boy hugged his beloved toy train, his eyes were red again, "If there is no battery, how can my little train run, I need batteries."

The man can only pay for the battery again.Unexpectedly, the first one was sold and a big one was sold. Chen Minghui was in a great mood. He had a hunch that this was the right place, and these toys would definitely sell well.

The first child who looked at the toy saw that the little train was bought, and held his mouth, wanting to cry or not.At this moment, I saw that Chen Minghui took out another set of exactly the same set from his backpack, so he stopped crying and started laughing.

"Mom, I want too."

"It's so expensive, how much meat can I buy, don't buy it." In a school, there are always a few families whose families are not so good, and this woman's family background is very ordinary at first glance.

In fact, it is really easy to distinguish people's clothes at this time.Bad families are all patched, and wealthy families have begun to pay attention to styles.

The child pursed his mouth, and was about to cry. Chen Minghui quickly brought over a metal frog. There was a rotating iron bar behind the frog's buttocks for strength, and after twisting a few times, it jumped up by itself.

"This little frog can also jump by itself. It doesn't need batteries. It's one yuan and two. Buy one that can play until it's big. It's iron and won't break. Buy this for your child to play with."

The child looked at the little train and then at the little frog. Although he still liked the little train, he knew that his mother would not buy it for him, so he grabbed the little frog and said, "Mom, I want this."

The child's mother secretly breathed a sigh of relief, more than one yuan is okay, not more than a dozen yuan, and the iron ones will not break, and buying a child can play for a few years, so she bought it for the child.

"I want a little frog too..."

"Mom, I want a little train..."

"The little train is too expensive, let's buy a little frog, look at how beautiful that little frog is, it looks real..."
