“Why did you buy so many things?” They hesitated at the entrance of the mall and couldn’t help but ask when they saw Ye Ning carrying so many things.
“My colleagues in the factory asked me to buy them, but didn’t you also buy so much?” Ye Ning raised her chin and motioned for them to see what they were carrying. Both the colleagues were carrying no less bags than her.
“Forget it, it is all for relatives and friends. I didn’t buy any of it for myself.” Zhang Miao pouted unhappily.
“You’re doing pretty well. My aunt asked me to bring her a pot from Nancheng. She said the pots here are different, and she said that the pots from Nancheng are delicious for cooking.” Wang Suyun even collapsed.
Hearing them like this, Ye Ning couldn’t help but laugh, “Will you take it with you?”
“I can’t leave the pot. I’m like a bast**d carrying it on my back. Ye Ning, have you bought a watch?” Wang Suyun’s sharp eyes immediately saw that there was something extra on Ye Ning’s hand. If it hadn’t been for the things in her hand, he would have seen it long ago. He grabbed her hand and looked at it.
“Well, it’s inconvenient to not have a watch. So, I bought one while I’m in Nancheng.”
“Why do you buy it yourself? Let your future husband give it to you when you get married.” Zhang Miao thought Ye Ning was too stupid.
“How can something given by others be as good as buying it yourself?” Ye Ning felt that it was better to rely on herself.
There was no day off in the afternoon of the second day, but there was nothing serious to do, so they kept having a meeting. It was already past 6pm when the meeting ended. The supplier invited them to have a meal. They had an authentic Nancheng meal. The cooking skills of the chef was very good, such that even people from the north like Ye Ning could eat it very smoothly.
“Hey, after being in Nancheng for so many days, I finally had a full meal.” On the way back, Zhang Miao touched her belly and said.
“Nancheng food is okay, but too sweet.” Wang Suyun couldn’t get used to it either.
They were busy for two more days. On the seventh day, the leader gave them all a day off so that they could have fun and do shopping. They would go back to Huanshan County the next day.
Ye Ning took a fancy to a Yi Liang bicycle and wanted to buy it, but it was inconvenient to take it back, and the price was a bit high, so she might as well go back and look for a second-hand one, so she could just pick one up and ride it home.
While wandering around, she accidentally saw a small shop with miscellaneous items. After asking, she found out that they were defective products from the factory.
“They say they are defective products, but in fact they can’t be found at all. It’s just that these products are exported products, and there is no room for mistakes, so they were taken out and disposed of.”
The shop owner took out a silk scarf and showed it to Ye Ning, “It is said that there is a needle stitch out of place, can you even tell?”
“It’s so strict even for just one needle stitch being out of place?” Ye Ning couldn’t tell there was something wrong with it. She thought this scarf was better than the one in the department store.
“These goods are going to be sold abroad. Of course, they must be strictly controlled. It doesn’t matter if the needle is a little off or a little crooked.”
Seeing that Ye Ning liked it, the proprietress asked, “If you want, I’ll give it to you for two yuan a piece.”
The silk scarves in the mall cost three to five yuan each. This scarf was of better texture and looked more beautiful than the ones bought in the mall. As for the workmanship, whoever had nothing to do could use a magnifying glass to look for pinholes. Anyway, she could see the threads had no problem. A sudden thought occurred to her. If she bought some to take back to Huanshan, would anyone want them?
“Comrade, if I buy more, what price will you give me?” Ye Ning asked.
“Buy more? How much?” The proprietress looked Ye Ning up and down, “The things I have here are very good, and the price is the cheapest.”
If she didn’t know many people, she wouldn’t be able to get these.
“It depends on the price you give me. If it’s affordable, I’ll take more.” Ye Ning waited for her answer.
The proprietress had already seen Ye Ning’s intention and chuckled, “It doesn’t matter if you do business now, and you don’t have to be so mysterious. If you want to buy wholesale to sell in other places, let me know. It’s 90 cents a piece, and the minimum price is 100 pieces.”
Ye Ning asked for one hundred items directly. When counting, she looked at each one, fearing that the boss lady would adulterate them. In addition, she also bought soap, hairpins, bracelets and other things that were easier to carry. On the way back, everyone had big and small bags, except Director Yang.
“Did Wanqing asking you to buy a lot of stuff?” Director Yang frowned.
“Not that much. Many of it is for others.” Of course, Ye Ning couldn’t say that she planned to do business to make money.
On the train, Ye Ning deliberately took out her hairpins and bracelets. Not to mention other things, even Zhang Miao who was traveling with her couldn’t help but like them.
“Why didn’t I see this bracelet anywhere? Where did you buy it?”
“It’s just a small shop on the roadside. I walked in accidentally. I don’t remember the name. I bought a lot. If you like it, I’ll let you have one.” Ye Ning smiled.
“Okay.” Zhang Miao came from a well-off family and spent money lavishly. She picked the item without asking about the price. When Ye Ning said five yuan, she said it was cheap.
Wang Suyun picked it up and put it down again. She was also going to buy a watch. There was no need to spend five yuan on a bracelet.
Some girls on the train didn’t think so, and someone came to ask Ye Ning if she could give them one, and if there was one, there would be two. After a while, Ye Ning gave out four, and including Zhang Miao’s, it made five, and the purchase price was two yuan, but in a short time she earned fifteen yuan, half a month’s salary.
“You’re selling something!” Director Yang frowned.
“No, we thought the bracelet Comrade Ye Ning bought looked good and asked her to give it to us.” Zhang Miao came out to explain for Ye Ning.
Director Yang glanced at Ye Ning and did not continue to ask questions. However, Ye Ning was startled and immediately stopped her thoughts.
