Back to 80s bride

Chapter 26 Make Money

The little girl was flattered by Chen Minghui's few words, her mind was dizzy, and she subconsciously asked: "If you don't want to distribute tickets, how much will it cost?"

"180 and five yuan." The price of a four-meter cloth ticket is worth tens of yuan, which is already very reasonable.

As soon as the little girl gritted her teeth, she borrowed money from several colleagues around her, and just got enough 180 yuan. She was about to pass it to Chen Minghui, but she didn't want to suddenly grab an arm, and put a stack of bills into Chen Minghui's hand before her. .The owner of this arm was the woman who came first, and her acquainted colleague also arrived at the moment, and heard Chen Minghui say that he would sell woolen clothes without money, but the little girl was hesitating, and took the first step to collect enough money.Now she gave Chen Minghui all the money, grabbed the clothes and ran away. Those who didn't know thought she didn't pay, but was robbing.In fact, in the eyes of people in this era, if you can buy something without a ticket, you are getting a bargain.

Often people have to spend money to buy a ticket because they don't have a ticket to buy something.

Chen Minghui wasn't flustered, he knew that the people here belonged to this factory, and the monk couldn't escape the temple if he could run away, most likely it was because he didn't need a ticket, and he was afraid that he would go back on his word and make such a fuss.

So he went to count the money at the first time, seeing that the money was just right, he didn't chase anyone, and just put it in his pocket, when he heard the little girl on the opposite side crying: "What to do, she snatched the coat away , I originally wanted to wear it for a blind date, but now it’s gone, what about my blind date?"

Her good friend also said indignantly: "How could this person be like this? Just now he looked like a good friend, and turned around and snatched your clothes. It's really shameless. Yaoyao, don't be afraid of her, I will take you there right away." Ask her to get the clothes back. No matter what, I won’t tell you not to wear beautiful clothes on this blind date.”

While talking, a few girls would angrily enter the factory to find someone to reason with.When Chen Minghui saw it, he hurriedly stopped him.

"Forget it, forget it, it's all hurtful from the same factory." Chen Minghui said naively: "In any case, I caused this incident, and I am also responsible. Well, the loss is mine, and I still have a little bit here." If the items are exactly the same, I won’t vote for you either.”

Yaoyao's eyes were obviously still full of tears, but her mouth opened first.Her good friend said: "You are really honest, you can make money by doing business like this."

Chen Minghui became more simple and honest, scratching his head embarrassingly, "It's enough for rural people to earn rations to eat. Don't dare to compare with your urban workers. You are an iron rice bowl."

This is the case in this era. Although doing business can make money, people think it is unstable, and even feel that doing business is a very shameful thing.On the contrary, workers are very stable, and their jobs are iron rice bowls, which will never be broken.If a family has a daughter, it is one thing to marry a businessman, but it is another thing to marry a worker.One is low in the dust, and the other is blooming.

Yaoyao finally bought another woolen coat at a price of 180 yuan.The extra 300 yuan in his pocket relieved Chen Minghui a lot. He knew that this business must be easy to do, but he didn't expect it to be so easy.

Through such an incident, those with a lot of insight could see that what Chen Minghui was selling was money, and it didn't matter whether he voted or not.At the same time, I was wondering in my heart, how would this person get into his clothes after he didn't want a ticket.But these are not within their scope of consideration. After all, there are fools who don't want tickets to sell clothes. If you don't buy them, you will lose money.

The two lesbians who bought the clothes brought woolen coats into the factory and did not hide them, but showed them openly for everyone to see.Especially the woman who snatched other people's clothes in the morning, she was about to fly up to show off.

Several female colleagues surrounded her and chattered: "Sister Li, you bought this dress from Haishi through someone. It's so beautiful, even more beautiful than the one worn by Hua Hua in our factory." touching.

Sister Li proudly said: "What style is that dress of hers? It's dead. Do other celebrities wear it? The style of mine is exactly the same as what other celebrities wear."

"What, it's what celebrities wear!" The girls exclaimed in an instant, and the emotions they already liked became much more enthusiastic.

"Sister Li, then this dress must be very expensive. It costs 180 □ □ ten yuan. How much is the ticket? I heard that the factory cost [-] yuan for a four-meter cloth ticket. Yours is the same style as a celebrity. Is it more expensive?"

Four meters, these days, each of them can only get more cloth tickets in a year, and it takes so much to buy a piece of clothing.Save a little, and use some small steps to put together, it is enough for two adults' coat material.

When it came to this Sister Li, she seemed a little mysterious. She poked her head over and said in a low voice, "Let me tell you, I only spent money on this dress, not a ticket."

"What, no tickets?" The female colleague couldn't help screaming, and immediately reacted and quickly covered her mouth, "What's going on? Where did you buy clothes that don't require tickets?"

Satisfied, the woman tossed her long braids, "The salesman said that I looked better than those celebrities in clothes, and wanted me to look good and solicit some business for him. He made a special case as long as money is not required. The price is more expensive." The woman didn't feel that there was anything wrong with putting other people's deeds on her own, but said it firmly.As for the few colleagues who knew the truth who borrowed money in the morning, she subconsciously ignored them.

It turned out to be like this! Several of them stared at the woman at the same time, but they didn't see anything special about the woman. To be honest, the woman is not good-looking, not to mention that she is also old, and she is 30 this year. Too much, and I don't know what kind of eyes the salesman thinks she is good-looking.Several female colleagues thought at the same time in their hearts, if she is considered beautiful like this, then wouldn't she be a fairy.No, I'll try my luck after get off work in a while, maybe I can ask the seller to make a special case, and I don't need a ticket to buy one back.

No matter what Xiao Jiujiu was thinking about in her heart, she said flatteringly on her face: "Indeed, if you ask me, you really look better than that celebrity in clothes."

The woman immediately beamed with joy, and said flatteredly, "Although you don't know how to make a special case for sellers, if you can get enough cloth tickets, it will be much cheaper, only 140 and five yuan."

Suddenly thought of something, the woman added, "By the way, I seem to remember that the seller said that there is no cloth ticket, but he also wants food stamps, meat stamps, soap stamps, industrial stamps, etc. Different stamps have different prices. Your family If you don’t have enough cloth tickets, bring some other tickets, it will probably be much cheaper.”

When the woman said this, several female colleagues took note of it, thinking in their minds that they would need some other tickets to go home. No matter what, this woolen coat must be bought.

Chen Minghui at this end was already cleaning up the stall, and after the work hour, there was no one at the gate of the factory.It is time to set up a stall here at the moment, but fortunately it is better to go to other units to sell.

He didn't want to waste any time, sold out the goods early and made enough money to go home early, and Qian Yu was waiting for him at home.

While packing and counting the goods, he sold two woolen coats, a pair of bell-bottom trousers, and a pair of ladies' leather shoes in just this morning.The net profit was about two hundred yuan, and I also earned a few taels of food stamps.This was the first day, and he attacked them suddenly. Many people had no money or tickets, and they were unwilling to give up their face to borrow them. On the second day, more people would come to buy things with tickets and money.

Chen Minghui carried the two big bags one by one and dragged the other to the bus station. He could take No. 11 to the grain depot directly.It is a good unit that can be counted in Zhushi, and the workers in it are richer. As long as his things are good enough, they will have a lot of money.

When he arrived at the grain depot, he explained his purpose, and the guard refused to let anyone in casually, but when Chen Minghui took out five yuan and four taels of food coupons and two taels of meat coupons and stuffed them into the guard's hands, he became the guard's cousin, and The guards led the various departments to flee.

"Hey, Director Sun, you're here. This is my cousin from the countryside. He can't get along at home anymore. He's coming out to do some clothing and leather shoes business. Do you think you need it?"

Director Sun looked at Chen Minghui's tattered and rustic clothes, and naturally didn't believe that he could get any good things, so he refused without thinking. Styles of leather shoes for men.

"Director Sun, I got these things from the Haishi Department Store. They are all good things. I resell them from there to here, and I only add a few dollars for each piece, just to earn a hard working fee." Chen Minghui opened his eyes. The eyes are closed, showing a bit of simplicity and innocence. "These are the most popular styles in Haishi. We don't have them here yet. You can see if you like them. It will save you a trip to Haishi to buy things, and you have to pay a lot of travel expenses."

Chen Minghui was young, and in the eyes of Director Zhao, Chen Minghui's pretentious introduction was still a bit innocent. In addition, the guard was on the side with a smiley face and kept helping him, so he was too embarrassed to directly refuse and didn't even look at it.He thought, anyway, things don’t look good, and it’s okay if you don’t buy them. If you pretend to look at them, it’s just to save face.

I didn't expect to see this, but it was really fancy.

When buying clothes for men, the style is second, and the material is the main thing.The suits that Chen Minghui brought out were not only made of the best materials, but they were all very good, and they were of high quality when worn out.

Chen Minghui saw his heartbeat, and took the opportunity to say: "Director Zhao, you are my uncle's leader. My uncle usually says that you are a good character and take good care of him, and you have always been in favor of you. Our family is fine. Thank you for the good stuff, how about it, I'll make the decision today, as long as you have the clothes I like, you can just give me the capital, and I don't want the cloth ticket."

Don't want to distribute tickets?Director Zhao was shocked.Although he is the director of a department of the grain depot, he usually fawns a lot and has no shortage of tickets, but it is really a huge temptation for him not to have tickets.The doorman at the side was also shocked. He didn't expect that this young boy would dare to spend so much money, and he just didn't want a ticket. This is crazy.

Director Zhao glanced at the guards and realized that they were trying to sell him in disguise. After thinking about it, he decided to accept it.

The two brothers patted the doorman on the shoulder, "You have a heart."

As he spoke, he chose two sets of suits and a woolen coat for women. Director Zhao was a little embarrassed to save several meters of cloth tickets, and bought a pair of men's leather shoes to make up for it.

Director Zhao felt that he had taken advantage of it, and took the initiative to say: "Young man, it is not easy for you to come here, so I will ask someone to ask you, and see if anyone else in the grain depot wants to buy something, call them over."

Chen Minghui nodded obediently, "Thank you, Director."

Director Zhao laughed and said, "It's okay."

With director Zhao's face in mind, he greeted everyone, and no matter if he really wanted to buy it or pretended to buy it, he would come to see the things.

Chen Minghui said: "You are all my uncle's colleagues. For my uncle's sake, if you don't have enough cloth tickets, you can use food stamps, meat tickets or other ticket tops, but the price can't be calculated like this. .”

The employees of the grain depot were not short of money. Chen Minghui's stuff was good, and when he heard that he could pay it with other bills, he immediately snapped it up like he didn't need money.

When Chen Minghui came out of the grain depot, it was already noon, and the things he brought were divided into a quarter by the grain depot workers in this morning. Among them, some girls who did not bring enough money were afraid that they would not be able to buy them. When it comes to clothes, I even figured out a way to pay the down payment first.In the eyes of these girls, Chen Minghui was a relative of the guard, and also knew Director Zhao, an acquaintance, and would not run away with money.This is the only way to dare.

Fortunately, Chen Minghui has a good character, and he promised someone to write down his name and deposit in a note, and put the clothes under the bag, not planning to buy them, but saving them for delivery tomorrow.

In the afternoon, Chen Minghui went to the post office again, followed the same pattern and sold a lot of things. After checking that the time was almost up, he returned to the soda factory.

When it was time to get off work in the evening, workers flocked out and squeezed to the stall, "I have a catty of food stamps here, and I want to buy a suit, what do you think the price is?"

"I have a meat ticket and an industrial ticket, you sell it to me first?"

"I only have a one-meter cloth ticket, but I also have an industrial ticket, do you think it's okay?"

Chen Minghui had no choice but to say: "Those who have tickets come first, and those who don't have tickets wait until those who have tickets have finished buying."

After the crowd dispersed, Chen Minghui's small stall was turned into a mess, but he wasn't annoyed, instead, he tidied it up in a good mood.On this day alone, he made more than 400 yuan in profit, which is much more than toys.

It was not safe to carry so much money and tickets with him, so Chen Minghui didn't go to eat and went back to his residence directly.He said hello to Uncle Zhang, went back to the room and locked the door, poured out all the money and bills.

He earned 460 yuan in just one day, not counting votes.He collected two catties of food stamps, one catty of meat stamps, one industrial stamp, and two soap stamps.He collected the bills and put them in a roll next to his body with the ones he brought. He split the money into several parts and sewed them on the inside of his trousers and jacket, and put a few large denominations under his shoes.Only leaving more than 100 yuan in change and six taels of food coupons in the outer pocket, and then went out to eat.

As usual, he went to the state-run restaurant and ordered a plate of scrambled eggs and a few big steamed buns. After he finished eating, it was dark outside, so he walked back leisurely to have a snack. When he arrived at the residence, he fell asleep without thinking about anything.I went out before dawn the next day, first went to the soda store, then went to the grain depot, gave the gatekeeper a ticket, and sent the clothes one by one according to the department I remembered on the paper.

An elder sister said with a smile: "Your child is of good character, sincere and punctual, and he delivered it in person. It's really good. How about it, is there a partner? If not, I will introduce you to a niece from my natal family In rural areas, people may do it.”

A male colleague next to her said: "Your niece, I heard you said last time, is already twenty, and this child is only fourteen or fifteen years old at first glance, which is too far behind."

The eldest sister immediately said: "It's better for a girl to be older, sensible, and able to stabilize a man's temperament. You didn't hear that the female junior was holding a gold brick, but he was holding two gold bricks."

The male colleague stopped talking. He didn't know this young boy. There was really no need to offend a colleague in the same office for a stranger.But he didn't want this young man whom he had a good impression to be cheated, so he said a reminder.

Seeing that Chen Minghui didn't talk to her, the elder sister curled her lips in dissatisfaction, "I can see that your family's conditions are not good just by looking at your clothes, and you are in business. It is difficult to think of a daughter-in-law. That's all I'm going to say, your conditions My niece may not be able to fall in love with her, she has high vision, I am purely out of good intentions, it is not easy to see you, I am afraid it is difficult to say goodbye, that's why..."

In the countryside at this time, it was normal for a girl to be married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and it was okay for a girl to be in her twenties, but it was a bit late for a girl in her twenties, and she could be considered an older unmarried young woman.

So it was obviously Chen Minghui's disadvantage in this matter, but the woman said it as if Chen Minghui was able to say that her niece was a great advantage to him.

Chen Minghui, who didn't want to say anything at first, could only pretend to be innocent and said, "Thank you, elder sister, for your kindness, but I'm already engaged."

The male colleague next to him almost didn't laugh out loud, and the woman turned blue from holding back.

"Hmph, with your conditions, you can't find any good ones. It's definitely not as good as my niece. My niece is well-known in ten miles and eight villages. She has broken through the threshold of her relatives, but she is picky herself, but she just doesn't want to. "Actually, her niece is really capable, as well as other things, but she is ugly.In the village, only the poorest family or the boy in the family is really worthless would be willing to go to her niece's house to propose marriage.However, her niece looked down on these people, which has been delayed until now.

She saw that Chen Minghui was tough and handsome. Although he was dressed in shabby clothes, he was personally capable. She secretly watched how many things he had sold in the past two days. She had passed her assessment and knew that he must have made a lot of money.Such a thing at such a young age, her niece can't go wrong marrying him.

The woman said: "It's your fate. My niece is too capable. She told you that she won't dislike you as a small stall operator in the future, and she can also sell goods with you in the future. Unlike you, who is engaged now, who dislikes you so much, I don’t even want to accompany you out to make money. It’s shameful, but it may also be because I’m afraid of suffering. After all, there are few people who are willing to endure hardship like my niece. You should think about it yourself. I’m doing this for my own good. Well, let me introduce you to my niece. If you're lucky, maybe she'll fall in love with you."

In the future, he still has to come here to sell goods. Chen Minghui can't break his face with women, but he also can't hear others saying that Qian Yu is not good.Although the woman didn't know Qian Yu at all, she was just talking casually.

Chen Minghui pretended to be naive and said: "My partner can't bear hardships, and I can't bear him to do these things."

The woman showed an expression that you can see that it is so, and just about to say something else, Chen Minghui continued: "After all, he is a person who reads and holds a pen, how can he do these things."

"Besides, he is going to take the college entrance examination soon. The teacher in the class said that it is not a problem to get into the provincial key high school with his grades. I dare not let him do this. My parents are not allowed."

The woman was stunned for a moment, and then said after a while: "Your partner is studying? Are you going to take the high school exam?"

There are not many people who can study these days, especially girls. It is better to say that men and women are equal in the city.In the countryside, whoever is willing to study for girls will be fine when they are brought up, and they will find a husband's family as soon as they are fourteen or five years old.

In this era, there are few scholars, and intellectuals are high-end talents. As long as they have graduated from high school, they can be assigned jobs, that is, workers with urban household registration and food supplies.If I can be admitted to university, I dare not think about it, the future is boundless.

Looking at it this way, Chen Minghui's partner is definitely in very good condition, and a woman's niece can't compare with others.

Chen Minghui nodded and said: "Yes, he is good at studying and has no problem in the high school entrance examination. His class teacher also said that if he continues to persist in the university entrance examination, he will be successful. Since his grades are so good, he naturally wants to study."

"If a little girl who is studying can fall in love with you, she will definitely run away with others when she is admitted to high school or university and meets someone better. I advise you to break up quickly and have sex with my niece."

"No." Chen Minghui said sweetly and foolishly: "My partner and I are already engaged, and we have agreed that we will get a certificate when he is admitted to high school. That's why I work hard to make money. He will be my daughter-in-law in the future. My daughter-in-law can't still let the Yue family take care of her."

The man on the side couldn't hold back after all, and said: "Yes, as a man, of course you have to raise your own daughter-in-law. Your life is good, my daughter-in-law is so good."

Chen Minghui smiled shyly, carried his things and went to other departments to deliver clothes to another person who ordered in advance.

Looking at Chen Minghui's back, the woman sighed heavily, the fate of her niece was too bad.It was so hard for her to find one for her, but it turned out that this boy still had such an excellent partner. With her good tongue, she couldn't find any bad things, and she couldn't even find fault with her.

I stayed at the grain depot all morning, went to the post office in the afternoon, and returned to the soda factory after get off work in the evening.

Chen Minghui refused to be idle for a moment every day, and kept changing places to sell things. Because of this, it might take a month for others to sell out the goods he brought, but he sold them out in half a month.I wrote a letter to Ma Chaoyue in advance, and ordered the next batch of clothes and leather shoes. When he returned to Haishi, he could get the goods immediately without further delay.

When Ma Chaoyue came to pick him up at the passenger station, he was taken aback when he saw his two empty bags.

"You guys are all sold out. It's only been half a month. I calculated privately with them on Thursday that it would be fast if you brought so many things in a month. I didn't expect you to sell them all in less than half a month. .”

He can't talk about this experience for the time being, he still needs to rely on it to make money, so he said with a smile: "Well, there are few businesses over there, and the competition is small."

Ma Chaoyue never dreamed that a teenager would be so good at doing business, so he believed his words.

At night, he still lives in Ma Chaoyue's house, but it's just the living room. After Mr. Ma is discharged from the hospital and returns to his original house, Chen Minghui has no place to live, so he can only live in the living room, so he is very content.Aunt Hong cooked a lot of special dishes for dinner, and Chen Minghui ate a lot.

On the second day, he went to the clothing store and the leather shoe store to settle the bill, and gave all the cloth tickets in his hand to Thursday. For the goods, the deposit is still paid first, and the money will be paid when I come back. This time I got more goods.

On Thursday, he patted Chen Minghui on the shoulder, not daring to underestimate him, "I never expected that you are quite capable at such a young age. I used to think that you would rely on old horses to earn some money to support your family at most. I didn't expect you It's a big business."

Chen Minghui didn't speak, just laughed, packed his things and returned to Zhushi.

This time he changed several factories and units, went to a cement factory ice wine factory, a construction unit and a city hospital. These places sold very well, and the goods were sold out after 20 days. Chen Minghui immediately returned to Shanghai. city.

"You've done a good job in business, you should strike while the iron is hot, make more money quickly, and make a lot of money, and you can catch up with the trend and become a millionaire." At the dinner table, Ma Chaoyue persuaded.

"Uncle Ma, I really can't do it. I have to go back. The college entrance examination is coming soon. I have to go back to take the exam."

"What?" Ma Chaoyue was stunned, "Are you still studying?" Ma Chaoyue thought that only Chen Minghui's younger brother was studying, and he had already dropped out of school to help his younger brother go to school, but he didn't expect that Chen Minghui was also studying. "Then you have been out for so long and asked for leave from school?"

Chen Minghui nodded, "Yes, my grades are not good, and the teacher doesn't care much. I don't know much about the college entrance examination, and I plan to pay for it myself, but no matter what, I must have the college entrance examination results."

Ma Chaoyue said: "Then you have to go back, this is a big deal, when will you leave?"

"The day after tomorrow. Tomorrow I want to go shopping in Haishi and buy something to bring back."

"You made a lot of money when you came out, so you should bring some good things back." Ma Chaoyue said, "If you see something in the department store, come to me. You can talk about the price."

"Thank you, Uncle Ma."
