Chapter 1213

After waiting for the person in front to find out the price and take away an electronic watch, Gu Zheng squatted down and asked how to buy it.

"How did you sell it?"

"Five dollars..."

After asking and answering questions, they were speechless and stared at each other.

Gu Zheng can be regarded as discovering that the peddlers these days have not learned the shrewdness of later generations.

In this market, there is always a state of unequal demand.

Ordinary vendors can afford the price, and they won't worry that no one will buy it.

Where are they like businessmen of later generations who are as enthusiastic as fire and treat customers as warm and thoughtful as God?

Gu Zheng smiled at the thought of this.

He took out the energy he had when he visited the dahongmen morning market and regarded the hairy young man opposite as the leader of a clever merchant... Aunt Hongmen praised him.

"Brother, if you are really what kind of person, you can match what kind of goods."

"I looked at my little brother, who was several years younger than me, but he had a bright face and elegant demeanor. At first glance, he was a figure who did great things."

"Look at the goods again. They are really good goods."

"What a pity..."

After a while, the tall crew member who had just been praised was scratched by Gu Zheng's words, and his heart was itchy.

After waiting for more than ten seconds, the other party didn't go on, so he asked impatiently, "what's a pity?"

But Gu Zheng, who picked up the only electronic watch on the stall, turned the watch back and forth, and then slowly said: "it's a pity that the goods came a little late."

"I came from Nancheng by train from my hometown. I lost my way on the train and went to the dining car opened by the conductor alone."

"As like as two peas, there is a young man from a big city with a watch on the same hand as the dial."

"But the aunt next to him took out a smaller, silver faced, plastic, but special flashing electronic watch."

"Yes, the most popular one now is that one."

"I look at it as a rare product, but I feel that this electronic watch will be popular soon."

"As you know, this kind of rarity is no more hard currency than TV sets and bicycles. The price of this plastic watch is much cheaper than that of machinery."

"What people buy is a kind of goods. In the words of those young people, it's for fashion."

"I said, brother, your watch is really strong and good. It's especially suitable for people like us. Yes, I'm afraid it won't sell soon."

"Ah! Really?" after hearing this, the little crew of the next ship believed it for years.

Gu Zheng's face is too deceptive, and his dress and identity... Are too persuasive.

Who would have thought a porter would have any great insight? What he said was just the facts he saw.

So the stunned seller stared at a large bag of goods behind him and started to stay.

His ship will leave the port again in a few days, and if his package of goods can't be sold in these days, I'm afraid it will be seven or eight days when he returns to the port next time.

It's just that at that time, how much can these electronic watches sell, it's not that he has the final say.

Thinking of the crew here, his face was a burst of suffocation, and just when he hung up, Gu Zheng opposite was kind-hearted.

"Well, brother, if you make it cheaper, I'll buy more. Anyway, it's not a loss. You don't know. There are many dolls in our mountains."

"I'm afraid you can buy me a piece of money."

"Tell me the truth. How much money are you willing to sell? I'll help you solve it more. It's better than smashing it in your hand."

If he didn't have valuable collateral, Gu Zheng wanted to borrow money in batches and ate all the goods in this box.

Hearing Gu Zheng's words, the small crew opposite couldn't help being grateful.

He chewed his teeth and calculated carefully, and finally came up with the lowest price he could accept.

"Three dollars and five, it can't be lower!"

He wanted to sell it and use the money to buy a double cylinder washing machine for his old mother at home.

The tap water in the alley is too cold, and my mother is too old. When I wash clothes with cold water in winter, I always make the frostbite that fell down in the old time attack.

It's red and swollen. It looks like a big steamed bread. Don't mention how sad he is when he is a son.

Therefore, his lowest psychological price is 350 yuan, and the price of a double cylinder washing machine with industrial rolls is 357 yuan.

He had let out a box of profits to be sorted up and down, and he had only 100 goods left in his hand.

Hearing the price, the man squatting opposite him didn't seem to buy a lot at all, but took out a handful of wool tickets, block tickets and a mixture of steel tickets from his pocket, no more, no less, thirty.

"Hey? You, I said three and five..."

Before the little sailor finished his words, three more buckles made of silver came out in front of him.

Look at the workmanship on the top, engraved with the patterns of bats transported by Fu, not to mention how exquisite.

"What are you?"

Looking at the puzzled man opposite, Gu Zheng smiled a little foolishly: "this is the silver jewelry made by the craftsmen in my hometown."

"It's all made of good silver. I don't have any cash. I wonder if I can use this to offset the cash."

"There are three grams of this plate buckle. The current silver price is 10 yuan per gram according to the calculation in our place."

"We also calculate roughly..."

"These, you change 35 watches for me, don't you think?"

This is a big business. The boat crew raised his head and stared at Gu Zheng for a long time. After confirming that the other party had not joked with him, he lowered his head and stared at the silver plate in his hand for a long time. When Gu Zheng thought the deal could not be completed, the young crew member squeezed out a sentence from his throat: "good!"

Suddenly, Gu Zheng relaxed quickly.

Although the silver price he said is the selling price on the market now, and the silver plate buckle in his hand is an old silver jewelry explored for generations, one of which is still the work of the client's practice, the overall situation is still true.

Gu Zheng didn't pit the poor child.

He got the first pot of gold he wanted, and the other party also got the real gold and silver he wanted most.

everybody ' s happy.

Qin Bayi, with a blank face, looked at Gu Zheng and was worried.

After Gu Zheng took a cotton pocket given to him by the other party and packed all his precious electronic watches, Qin Bayi dared to drag Gu Zheng's cuffs and drag him to the innermost corner of the market. He was worried and advised: "why do you buy so many things, you doll?"

You can't eat anything that doesn't work. What's the use of just trying to be fashionable?

But Gu Zheng couldn't explain to Qin Bayi what fashion represents for young people in this era.

In this country that has gradually awakened itself and different countries, one detail is different from this era, which can make the young people of this era feel sincerely happy and excited.

This electronic watch represents not only a tool to look at time, but a way to show personality and wealth to others.

Unfortunately, in the eyes of Qin Bayi, who could not see the business opportunities and did not have the courage to try to change, they were the scourge in his hands.

But for Gu Zheng, who already has a plan for the next step, it is the necessary material basis for the rise of his wealth.

Therefore, Gu Zheng touched his head simply and honestly. Instead of taking Qin Bayi's next words, he seemed to remember something. He invited Qin Bayi for a short holiday in advance.

"Uncle Qin, do we have a big shift change tomorrow? I want to take a half day off, so I won't eat lunch in Hong Kong. Can you help me talk to brother Xing?"

Qin Bayi, who knew what Gu Zheng was going to do in a word, nodded and agreed: "are you going to send it to your family?"

"OK, there is a post office not far from the port. You haven't settled down in Nancheng yet. It's not easy to get up and go to work on the first day."

"I'll tell Lao Xing about it. In fact, there is really no fixed time for our work."

"As long as you remember to complete 100 basic tasks every day, no one will take care of you even if you go out every day."

After hearing this, Gu Zheng nodded in response. He successfully understood the benefits of his temporary job and transferred Qin Bayi's attention.

When the two returned to the shed, they subconsciously concealed their harvest this evening.

Other workers in the shed have been tired for a day. Even if there are one or two curious people, they can't stand Gu Zheng's smiling face, but they keep silent. After the questioning failed, the whole shed fell into a quiet sleep time.

The night in Nancheng, which has begun to get hot and dry, is filled with all kinds of unspeakable flavors in this well ventilated shed.

Sweat odor, foot odor, body odor are very characteristic.

The first night of Gu Zheng's coming to the world was so wonderful with the sound of grinding teeth, snoring and unconscious dream talk.

He thought he would toss and turn, and it was difficult to adapt. But he couldn't resist the fatigue of his body and the tension of his spirit after coming to a new world. On the contrary, he fell asleep soon after touching the pillow.

In his sleep, he smelled the hometown of the world's client. Maybe it was the pillow with his head down... It was because the aunt in the village filled it with the petals of dried flowers.

There are so many faces in the stockade, turning around in front of Gu Zheng, trying to remind him in this way that he should not forget his original intention to come to the world.

Gu Zheng woke up again when the villagers in the stockade in the mountain village lined up in his mind.

As soon as I opened my eyes, it began to shine around, but the air seemed like a more dirty shed.

"Hoo..."

Gu Zheng, who vomited a mouthful of turbid air, pressed his temple, quietly climbed down from his bed, took a piece of linen in his hand, and planned to go to the faucet outside to get a handful of clean water to wake up his mind.

Who would have thought that when he just wiped two faces, a squatting figure squatted down on his side.

It's Qin Bayi.

Some puzzled Gu Zheng was waiting for uncle Qin to speak with a towel, but he saw the old man who had just met for a day and stuffed a dime with rough edges into his hand.

"It will take some time to get up early in the canteen. I'm afraid you're going out soon."

"I'm afraid I spent all the money given by my family yesterday. I think there are silver buttons that can only be made by the elderly."

"Uncle's family has a large population and can't help you, but if you tell others about your doll and take me with you when you work, I'll know you're a real child."

"Uncle, you don't get much here. Take the money and buy some breakfast mats."

Looking at the wrinkled dime with wet hand sweat, and then looking at Qin Bayi's worried eyes, Gu Zheng's heart was warmed by this faint concern.

He didn't refuse. He answered with a crisp voice. After harvesting Qin Bayi's reassuring smile, he picked up his pocket and plunged into the unknown future while taking advantage of the thick fog of getting up early.

Gu Zheng's direction is very clear, which is the Nancheng railway station.

The main landmark, which is located on the East and west sides of the city and separated from the port, is connected by several bus lines. Even outsiders like Gu Zheng will not go in the wrong direction.

Now he has to worry about which car he wants to take.

If the original client, I'm afraid, would choose the cheapest tram, and the fare would only cost three cents.

But standing here is Gu Zheng. When he saw the most expensive but fastest bus coming, he had already forgotten that there was a difference of two points between the two fares and jumped up resolutely.

"Comrade, how much is the ticket to the railway station?"

Without much thought, Gu Zheng handed Qin Bayi a dime to the conductor.

The waiter with sleeves and a blue gray uniform pulled out a huge wooden board from under the baffle of the conductor's seat without even lifting his eyelids.

Among them, a total of five tickets were clamped on the board with clips of different sizes.

A strong gray cotton thread is tied to the top of the board.

There was a pencil head hanging above. When Gu Zheng was surprised at what the pencil was used for, he saw the conductor's next set of quite skilled ticket selling actions.

The conductor picked up the pencil head and scratched a pen at the top of the Malan colored tickets in the middle row of the five couplets. As a sign of ticket sales, the "thorn" again... He tore the note representing Gu Zheng's bought tickets and invalid from the original ticket, By the way, he handed it to Gu Zheng.

"Listen to the station announcement! If you pass the station, you still need to make up the ticket!"

"Hey!"

On the bus, even people like Gu Zheng inexplicably counseled.

Now the conductor, who is such a warm-hearted person as now?

The conductor sitting in the special seat is almost the same as Cixi sitting in the Forbidden City earlier.

Because he got on the bus early, Gu Zheng loaded quails all the way and got off the bus quietly while there were not many people on the bus.

When he arrived at the railway station, he really felt the epitome of the most prosperous and messy city.

The empty bus can't represent the recovery of Nancheng, but this still dilapidated railway station that hasn't been renovated can.

In this small empty yard, there are breakfast shops specially divided by the railway station. Further down the street, there are mostly small hotels transformed from folk houses.

Because it is still a half hidden period, no one dares to hang the hotel signboard outside like in the future.

However, the general professional staff who stood at the entrance of the Hutong and pulled the guests in front of the usual railway station appeared sporadically.

Seeing such a familiar scene, Gu Zheng forgot his last rusty feeling. With the few people walking around the railway station, he came to the ticket hall which was not too luxurious.

In fact, Gu Zheng didn't have a definite judgment on where he was going next.

But he has a particularly simple and rough way of self selection.

The shortest drive, the least fare and the weakest surrounding economic development, but the local consumption level is not low.

These are the four basic principles of his goal.

And he really found a suitable place on the row after row of ticket price cards basically marked by hand.

In Wucheng, the round-trip fare is 2.4 yuan, and the single ride is two and a half hours.

The earliest train was a passing bus. There was no seat for the station ticket, but it would leave in 20 minutes.

This can't help Gu Zheng's hesitation.

He took out the little change he had just made yesterday and gritted his teeth to buy the round-trip ticket. However, when he came out of the ticket hall and went to the entrance, he was unable to move his feet by the aroma of the small breakfast stall under the plastic rain cloth.

Standing on the spot, Gu Zheng looked at the middle-aged woman pouring soybean milk into a large flat bowl with a big iron ladle on the stall. What came to mind was the fried golden noodle fish echoing the aroma.

It smells good. The more his body is short of oil and water, the more Gu Zheng is greedy for such big oil and salt.

However, time waits for no one. He can't help sitting down and eating a cake full of oil.

However, he was willing to buy a big cake.

Therefore, Gu Zheng, who couldn't bear saliva, rushed to the boss's wife as soon as he turned his foot, pointed to the sweet cake just out of the pot on the iron grate, and gave himself a piece.

The woman with soft words and quick hands and feet used her Southern shrewdness to sell the most expensive meat and vegetable noodles on the stall. However, after Gu Zheng shook it firmly, she showed a look of disappointment.

"Elder sister, when will your stall open?"

Gu Zheng, who couldn't bear to be attracted by the aroma here, subconsciously felt that this was a rare delicious snack stall.
