Reborn at 70 and living a good life with his biological mother
Chapter 227 Sales setback
Shen Qingshan and Tan Youye rushed to the Lanshi black market overnight with their clothes, preparing to sell the clothes as soon as possible.
This time it didn't go so well. When they took the clothes out to sell, the weather just happened to get warmer. The sun was shining every day, and it wasn't cold enough to wear cotton-padded clothes.
Woolen coats can be sold, jeans can also be sold, and even the leather shoes that Lin Wanyi brought back to set up the stall are sold out, and no one is interested in the duck down jacket.
“The color is pretty, but it’s expensive!”
A female customer commented like this: A woolen coat worth [-] yuan is not too expensive for you, but a duck down jacket worth tens of yuan is too expensive?
Looking at the shining sun in the sky, Tan Jiangang was also very sad.
The weather in Shangdu was playing tricks on them both. It had obviously started to cool down before, otherwise how could woolen coats be so popular?
In the blink of an eye, it’s sunny again for a few days, and clothes like a duck down jacket won’t look special until the temperature drops.The color was quite bright, but when I asked about the price, the duck down jacket was 45 yuan, and they all threw it away.
"This coat is too expensive!"
jacket?
Shen Qingshan had to explain carefully to the guests, but most of them were watching the fun, and none of them actually made a move.
Tan Youye was anxious. He was taking risks every day to go to the black market. If he couldn't sell his things, he had to keep a room in the guest house open. The money was flowing out one by one.
"Qingshan, what are you doing with these coats? Not a single one has been sold..."
If this is lost, the money they make will not be enough to cover the cost!
He also found that the two men were stupid. Many of them were asking questions, but they couldn't answer some of them, and they left after looking at them twice.
If this continues to be used up, it will be the New Year and they may not be able to sell these clothes.
Shen Qingshan knew that there was no point in rushing, they could only wait for the temperature to cool down.
"Wait until it cools down!"
"Why wait? How can we predict the weather? It's not low for us to spend a day outside. Otherwise, we can go back to the county to sell. After all, we can save the accommodation and food expenses."
"It was late at night and we had to find a car to take him back. It would be dangerous to go back in broad daylight."
Tan Youye closed the stall resignedly.
How come no one wants these beautiful clothes?
The weather in Shangrao County is also very good today. Lin Wanyi is also a little worried about the sales of clothes, especially Shen Qingshan and the others have not been back for a few days. However, they called their work and asked whether the weather was good. I'm afraid I'll run into problems when I come back.
The pig's feet that Zhao Jiehong brought from home were ready to be stewed. She asked Lin Wanyi and Yu Xiang to go to her place for lunch at noon. Lin Wanyi still liked Zhao Jiehong's stewed pig's feet. She didn't eat them in the canteen after get off work at noon and went home early.Yu Xiang took care of Shen An at home. Lin Wanyi saw that there were some fresh ribs left in the canteen in the morning and bought some to stew for dinner. The longer they cook, the more delicious they will be.
Riding a bicycle, the wind blows on my face, which is very uncomfortable. Now that the weather is warm, the cold wind bites my face. When it snows, the bicycle will have to be left in the yard to accumulate snow. Riding it can freeze people into ice cubes. She I bought a three-piece set of warm scarves, gloves, and hats for all three members of my family. When riding, I covered my face and only exposed my eyes. This was to avoid frostbite covering my face, which would be very uncomfortable.
She also bought a small box of ice cream for Yu Xiang and applied it on her face and hands. The fragrance was so fragrant that both of them were uncomfortable with it.
“Clam oil is so cheap.”
Clam oil is packed in a small shell-shaped box. The small box only costs a few cents, and the large box costs less than 1 cent. Even urban workers who are under great financial pressure can buy it to wipe their hands and face, and they can also use it in the countryside. Alabaster cream is cheap in the summer, but when it's cold today, the price at the supply and marketing cooperative is more than double.
It happened that Lin Wanyi bought this for her to use. Every day she couldn't bear to let her go, so she took out a big batch and watched her use it before leaving, for fear that she would put it back in the box again.
When Lin Wanyi first "woke up", Yu Xiang at that time was not only black, thin and shriveled, but also had a pair of hands full of cracks.
Although leaving Shangyao Village did not require her to do farm work like she did at the Lin family, Yu Xiang was not a person who enjoyed happiness. She never stopped to rest even when she was not at work. Yu Xiang could not bear to part with all the skin care products she had bought for her. Put it in the cupboard and put it away.
Now that Yu Xiang is with her every day, and she has to take care of Shen An, dragging the children with her, Yu Xiang finally stops growing vegetables everywhere, and now starts to take good care of her.
In the cold winter weather, Yu Xiang repeatedly washed her hands with hot water and soap, cut her nails to the shortest length, applied a thick layer of clam oil, and wrapped her hands with a hot towel.
Hot air can open pores, and clam oil locks in moisture. You should apply clam oil every time after washing your hands, and also apply it before going to bed at night, and then wear clean cotton gloves to sleep... In less than half a month, Yu Xiang's hands have recovered a lot.
She didn't let Yu Xiang touch cold water in the cold weather. She tried to use hot water for washing and cooking, so as not to get frostbite from the cold and her hands would become ugly and cracked.
They are now in the county town. Most families in the county town do not burn kangs in winter. There are only a few households with kangs. They feel that kangs are only used by country people. A good house with a kang in it is of low quality. City people burn briquettes in winter.
Briquettes don't cost much, so if you put an aluminum kettle on top, you'll have hot water from morning to night, and you can keep yourself warm in cold weather.
Grandma Yu's house only had a few coal buckets. She didn't need so many, so she gave them to Lin Wanyi and the others. Lin Wanyi directly sent briquettes to her door. Yu Xiang couldn't bear to use them and there was nothing she could do. They didn't have to pile them there to get damp. More wasteful.
After the ribs were braised, Lin Wanyi and Yu Xiang walked to Zhao Jiehong's house for lunch with Shen An in their arms. It was just the three of them. Zhao Jiehong cooked three or four dishes and stuffed all three adults at noon. Half left.
Zhao Jiehong took out the iron box and asked Lin Wanyi to pack it back for Grandma Yu to eat, otherwise she would not be able to finish it by herself at night. These things would not taste good the next day, so it would be a pity if they were poured out.
"I wonder if Grandma Yu is back?"
Lin Wanyi and Yu Xiang were walking on the road and talking.
Grandma Yu is not close to mother and daughter. They think of her as a lonely old lady, so they always have to look after her twice.No matter what delicious food you make, just ask Grandma Yu, even though Grandma Yu never appreciated it once.
But since Lin Wanyi came back last time, she accidentally saw Grandma Yu taking care of Shen An and guessed that Grandma Yu was not unfriendly to people. Maybe it was because she had been hurt by people's hearts too many times before. It was a way of self-protection. After all, she was a lonely old woman. With such a big house, there must be many jealous people.
When they first came here, there was a lot of crowding around, and they thought they were trying to get Grandma Yu to leave the house to them in the future. Every one of them looked weird when they saw their family members...
When she returned home and saw the deserted yard, Lin Wanyi felt a little strange. Grandma Yu should have returned from sweeping the street at this time, but she did not see her today.
Looking carefully, Grandma Yu's broom was placed in the corner.The door to the room was closed from the inside instead of locked from the outside. When did the person come back?
Afraid that the food would be cold and unpalatable, Lin Wanyi called out "Grandma Yu" twice, but there was no movement in the house.
She knocked hard, but there was still no movement in the room.
Yu Xiang held Shen An in her arms and looked through the crack in the window, "...there's someone on the bed!"
The door of the room was locked from the inside. Grandma Yu was very vigilant and would lock the door even if she took a nap in broad daylight. Lin Wanyi shouted a few more times but still refused, so she kicked the door open and a strong smell came out when she opened it. The smell of gas made Lin Wanyi frown.
Even this movement didn't wake anyone up, so Lin Wanyi guessed that the situation was not good.Putting her hand under her nose, she was still breathing... Lin Wanyi breathed a sigh of relief:
"Mom, don't come in. The smell in the room is too strong. Let's send the person to the hospital quickly!"
This time it didn't go so well. When they took the clothes out to sell, the weather just happened to get warmer. The sun was shining every day, and it wasn't cold enough to wear cotton-padded clothes.
Woolen coats can be sold, jeans can also be sold, and even the leather shoes that Lin Wanyi brought back to set up the stall are sold out, and no one is interested in the duck down jacket.
