Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 111 Business

There were three of them and two bicycles, they walked and talked along the way, especially Wang Lanlan and Ye Yi, who were extremely excited.

Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi changed riders halfway through the journey. Wang Lanlan thought that there was a lot of money waiting for her ahead and she didn't want to waste time changing riders, so she directly refused.

By the time they reached the county town, it was already bright. Lin Qingyan looked at the time and it was already past 7 o'clock.

The post office was probably closed at the moment, so he just followed them to the textile factory.

The textile factory in the county town is not big, but it is considered a very good unit in the county town. Now all factories are owned by the state, and private individuals are not allowed to open factories.

The wages of workers are all at a uniform standard. Most regular workers in textile factories earn 20 to 30 yuan a month.

But why is the textile factory considered a good unit in the county? It is because the welfare is good. For example, some defective cloth that cannot be sold is distributed to employees as welfare.

In this era, farmers are happy with just having something to wear, and no one would care whether the clothes are dyed unevenly.

Therefore, some defective products can be sold easily outside, but they cannot be sold openly. They can be sold secretly to acquaintances.

As a result, most people in the textile factory have extra money, which means they are not short of money.

Wang Lanlan suggested selling at the entrance of the textile factory. She was very insightful because there were many girls in the textile factory!

The three of them arrived near the textile factory and saw that there were obviously more people coming and going.

"Put the bikes here, I'll watch over them while you try to find a buyer."

Lin Qingyan pointed to a place not far from the gate and said to the two of them.

Ye Yi hesitated a little and asked, "Qingyan, aren't you going?"

Lin Qingyan pointed at the large package on the back of the bicycle and said, "I want to see it."

After a pause, he suggested to Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan:

"Did you see the three girls coming over there? They are wearing new clothes and their hair is very carefully braided. You can go and ask them with the hairpins first."

Ye Yi and Wang Lanlan looked in the direction she pointed.

Wang Lanlan thought about it, took a scarf from the backpack, tied it around her neck, and took out her hat and put it on.

She took out a few more hairpins, motioned Ye Yi to follow, and walked towards the girls who were walking over.

Ye Yi hurriedly followed suit and quickly caught up with Wang Lanlan.

Lin Qingyan stood there looking at the people not far away. The girls were a little surprised to see Wang Lanlan and the others coming over, and then they looked down at the things in Ye Yi and the others' hands.

This was incredible, and they immediately started discussing loudly. Although she couldn't hear what they were saying, Lin Qingyan knew that they had succeeded in the first step.

Then the girl pointed at the hat and scarf on Wang Lanlan's head. Wang Lanlan took off the hat and scarf and handed them over.

Another girl also pointed at Ye Yi's hat and scarf, and finally took out money from her pocket and handed it to them, then left with the things. After they left.

Wang Lanlan and the others ran over excitedly, "Qingyan, Qingyan, we succeeded!"

"You guys are amazing! Although I didn't hear what you said, I know you must have put a lot of effort into introducing your stuff."

Lin Qingyan couldn't help but admire them. They were really amazing. As women born in the 70s, they had the courage to break through themselves and improve their lives. This was something worth learning from for many people.

Ye Yi smiled and said to Lin Qingyan:

"Wang Lanlan was very smart. She didn't sell hats or scarves at first. She only showed them hairpins. Seeing that they obviously liked them, she inadvertently put her scarf back on, which made the girls notice her scarves and hats."

Wang Lanlan felt a little embarrassed to be praised.

"Ye Yi, let's go look for our target again. This time I know who to look for. Let's sell more before they go to work."

Lin Qingyan looked at the two people busying back and forth, feeling very happy and satisfied.

For the first time since her rebirth, she felt such a sense of satisfaction. Being able to help others and make their lives better made her feel particularly happy and satisfied.

The time was quickly approaching 8 o'clock, and there were more people at the door, but they were all in a hurry and had no time to stop.

Two girls ran towards Ye Yi and the others against the crowd. "It's a good thing you're still here."

"What's wrong?" Ye Yi was a little surprised.

"We have several sisters who also want scarves, hats, and hairpins, but it's almost time to go to work, and they don't know you, so they asked us to help them run a trip."

The girl took a breath and continued:

"Do you have any more stuff? Can you come back when we get off work at noon?"

Wang Lanlan looked at the last two scarves in her hand and felt a little embarrassed: "There are only two scarves left, and the hairpins I brought this time are almost sold out."

Lin Qingyan saw the situation here, walked over and heard their conversation, and said to them:

"Today's items are sold out soon. We'll deliver more tomorrow morning. Tell your friends to come earlier. There will be different styles than today!"

When Ye Yi heard her words, she hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, let your friends come early tomorrow."

The girl thought about it and thought that this was the only way.

"Okay, we'll wait for you at the factory gate early tomorrow. Don't be reluctant!"

"Don't worry, don't worry, I will definitely come!" Wang Lanlan replied to her enthusiastically.

The girl ran in as the factory bell rang.

There were not many people at the door at this time, and Wang Lanlan looked at the two remaining scarves in her hand.

Subconsciously asked Lin Qingyan, "Where are we going next?"

Lin Qingyan pointed to the package on the back of the bicycle and said, "You guys go to the post office with me first. I'm going to send a package."

The post office should be open by now. When she arrived at the post office, it was already open. After Lin Qingyan sent the package and letter, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Lanlan and Ye Yi, who were waiting at the door, were discussing how much money they could earn today.

"I really want to take out the money and count it to see how much money we have earned!" Wang Lanlan sat on the steps with her cheeks supported by her hands.

Ye Yi agreed, but she said, "Look at how useless you are. This is just a small amount of money."

"Don't you want to count?" Wang Lanlan said to her dissatisfiedly.

Ye Yi paused and answered honestly, "I want to count them too."

Wang Lanlan rolled her eyes at her and said, "You want to count too? Then why are you pretending?"

When Lin Qingyan came out, she heard them bickering. She smiled and said to them:

"We need to keep a low profile and count slowly when we get back. If you guys are not satisfied, just count a few more times!"

The two of them were not embarrassed at all by Lin Qingyan's teasing.

Instead, he agreed: "Qingyan, you are right. Let's count them enough when we get back."

Lin Qingyan was amused by these two funny guys and laughed out loud. She said to them, "Let's go!"

"Where do we go now?"

"Just follow me. Are you afraid that I will sell you out?"

The sound of several people fighting and talking became farther and farther away.
