Traversing the courtyard

Chapter 310 Wholesale of Watches
Ah Hui put her arms around Ah Zhen and said, "My sister Zhen, I brought a packaged lobster, and there are more than half a catty of shrimp meat."

Ah Zhen said angrily: "Where did you get the money to eat lobsters? Did you steal or sell them?"

Ah Hui blushed and said angrily, "Sister Zhen, I swear I won't steal anything in the future, why don't you believe me? Besides, no one will want my body if I pay for it."

"Then where did you buy the lobster? I've already worked two jobs, and you still eat lobster?"

Ah Hui pulled Ah Zhen to sit down and talked about what happened today, and finally said: "Sister Zhen, don't you blame me now?"

"You, even if you help, you can't eat such an expensive meal!"

Ah Hui pushed the packaged lobster forward, and said, "Anyway, I've eaten it all, you can eat it if you like it, and you won't be able to eat it if you don't."

He got up angrily and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

The next morning, Yi Weidong just woke up when he heard someone knocking on the door. He hurriedly changed his clothes and came to open the door. Seeing Miss Azhen outside, he said angrily, "Sister, do you like to get up so early every day and knock on the door?"

Yesterday Yi Weidong was so happy that he didn't fall asleep for a while, and he woke up late in the morning. He didn't expect that it was Ah Zhen who knocked on the door. No matter how good-looking a girl is, she doesn't want to face her right after she wakes up.

Ah Zhen quickly said: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to wake up so late today."

Yi Weidong yawned, took two steps back and said helplessly, "If you have something to say, I'll wash my face first."

"Hey!"

After Yi Weidong came out of the bathroom and sat on the sofa, he asked, "Sister Azhen, what do you want?"

Ah Zhen said: "I'm sorry, Ah Hui asked you to buy such an expensive meal yesterday, I apologize to you on her behalf today, it really cost you money."

Yi Weidong poured tea and said, "Sister Ah Zhen, you are too out of touch, Ah Hui helped me a lot yesterday, and you know that you can only speak Mandarin, and Ah Hui helped me and others sell things. Introduced, it's normal for me to invite her to a big meal. I didn't expect you to come and apologize to me on her behalf. "

Ah Zhen smiled and said: "You also know that Ah Hui's family was very good before, and she didn't have much idea about money, and those who spent money lavishly had no plans. Trouble."

Yi Weidong asked: "It's all trivial matters, aren't you real sisters?"

"Not a sister, I'm her aunt, but only a few years older than Ah Hui. After her father passed away, I moved here to take care of her."

Yi Weidong sized him up again, vaguely seeing that his faces were somewhat similar, he didn't expect that Ah Zhen and Ah Hui were aunts and nieces, and asked, "Then why does she call you Sister Zhen?"

Ah Zhen smiled and said, "I can't let her call me aunt, just sister."

Yi Weidong couldn't understand this, and even called his aunt a sister. Doesn't Hong Kong Island take these names seriously?

Yi Weidong said: "Today I invite you to have morning tea together."

"Thank you, let us invite you."

Morning tea for the three of them didn't cost a few dollars, and it didn't matter who invited them, but when it came time to pay the bill, Yi Weidong was the first to settle the bill.

Ah Zhen said: "It is agreed that I hired you, how can you pay?"

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Ahui told me that the most important thing for a man is to be a gentleman. How can he make a beautiful lady pay?"

Ah Zhen said: "Thank you then, I'm in a hurry to leave first."

"Bye-Bye."

Walking all the way back, Ah Hui asked, "Are you trying to pick on my sister?"

"What are you talking about, I'm underage."

Ah Hui said in surprise: "Don't you know that the marriageable age in Hong Kong Island is 16?"

"Forehead"

Yi Weidong really didn't know that he could get married at the age of 16, he thought it was at least [-]!Yi Weidong knows that alcohol is strictly prohibited on Hong Kong Island.

It's a strange decree. You can even drink your own wedding wine when you get married. Don't you drink a cup of wine when you get married?

Yi Weidong thought that A-Zhen's figure really had the urge to pursue it, so if he thought about it, let it go, he already had a goal, so he had better stop thinking about it.

Said: "I really didn't know that you can get married at the age of 16. Besides, I only saw Sister Ah Zhen the next day. How could I want to date her?"

"Tch, who do you men think that my sister Zhen doesn't want to date her?"

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Looking at a washboard like yours, no one will chase after you."

After finishing speaking, she ran away, Ah Hui was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Don't run if you have the guts, see if I don't kill you, your whole family is a washboard."

For four or five days in a row, I sold watches with Ah Hui at the Yiweidong Night Market. During the day, I learned Cantonese and cleaned the shop. After cleaning the shop, I bought some counter shelves. Looking at the empty shop, I bought some electric shavers and manual knife holders. , razor blades and other commodities, in Ah Hui's words: neither fish nor fowl, it's better to close the business as soon as possible.

It was finally packed that day, and the custom-made sign was hung up. The six big characters of Autumn Rain Wholesale Firm were shining with golden light.

Ah Hui hit and said: "Do you know how to do business? Other names are all companies. How did you come up with a business name? Learn from others' retro?"

Ever since she said Ah Hui was a washboard that day, Ah Hui has been talking to Yi Weidong everywhere, but the assistant is still the same, so Yi Weidong often bickers with the washboard.

Yi Weidong said: "Washboard, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb. Clean up there, and I will open the door for business."

Ah Hui stomped her feet and said to Ah Zhen: "Sister, you still laugh, and you don't teach him for me, you are so mad at him every day."

A-Zhen laughed and said, "You have a childish temper, you can grow up in time! Hurry up and tidy up, it's not good to waste time."

Ah Hui gave an aggrieved groan, turned around and gave Yi Weidong another look, then put away the newspaper and put it in the trash can. Weidong's shop opened.

Within a few minutes, the expected customer did not arrive, but two patrolmen came in, one of them smiled and said:
"Congratulations to the boss who opened the business and made a fortune. Do you know the rules of opening a shop?"

Yi Weidong was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "What's the rule?"

The patrolman smiled and said, "You have to pay for tea every week, don't you know?"

Yi Weidong still wanted to talk, so Ah Zhen pulled the corner of Yi Weidong's clothes and said to the patrolman, "Don't worry, you won't lose the tea money, and it will be paid on time on Monday."

As he spoke, he took out 20 yuan from his pocket and handed it to the patrolman, saying, "Brother, please drink tea."

The patrolman who took the money said with a smile: "These are the rules of doing business, and no one can break them. You can rest assured that doing business on this street is absolutely safe."

Sending off the two patrolmen, Ah Zhen turned her head and said: "Awei, you don't know the rules here, every shop has to pay a tea money, which is the protection fee, to the patrolmen on Mondays, and Brother Ming's men will also come It is indispensable to charge for a cup of tea."

Yi Weidong took out 20 yuan from his wallet and returned it to Ah Zhen, saying, "Okay, I didn't think of it just now, and I will prepare tea money for them in the future."

There was nothing he could do about Yi Weidong, the whole Hong Kong Island had such rules, and he was not a stupefied young man so he wouldn't go against them, and besides, he didn't have much money, so it was better to make a fortune in silence first.

Ah Zhen smiled and said: "A Wei, my time is up, let's go first."

"Bye-Bye."

When Ah Hui came down from upstairs and saw that Yi Weidong was the only one in the shop, she smiled and said, "Ah Wei, I told you that you can't do business, so let's set up a stall honestly."

"You don't understand, there are too few stalls to sell, how can you make money in wholesale."

Ah Hui sat next to Yi Weidong, took out a pen and paper and her textbook and said, "Since there is no business, then you can continue to learn to write."

Until the evening, Ah Zhen came back and asked, "How is business today?"

Ah Hui said first: "Today, there is no turnover of [-] yuan a day, so I said that Ah Wei is not suitable for business."

Ah Zhen smiled and encouraged: "It's only 500 yuan? It's not much, but you just opened today, and it will get better and better in the future. Come on."

"Thank you Jane, I bought vegetables today and I will cook a big meal for you to eat."

"No, your business has just begun."

Ah Hui jumped out and said, "You've been buying food for so many days, no matter how economical you are, you don't want to treat us to a big meal, and you don't have to cook for us yourself. The rice you cook can be eaten!"

Yi Weidong was speechless for a while. He was buying and eating before, mainly because he wanted to taste some special snacks nearby, and because the weather was very hot, he didn't want to cook.

Today is a good day for the store to open. I went to buy some ingredients in the morning and prepared to treat the two sisters to a big meal. I didn't expect that A Zhen and A Hui would suspect that Yi Weidong could not cook.

Yi Weidong said speechlessly: "Go upstairs and I'll cook a dish for you to taste. This is my family's cooking skills."

Ah Hui said, "Ah Wei, you don't mean to poison the dishes, do you?"

Ah Zhen pulled it, walked upstairs, and said: "I told you not to read those novels, why do you poison yourself? There is no wrong or enmity."

Ah Hui said angrily: "I have no hatred with you, but I have. This hatred cannot be shared until death."

Ah Zhen was taken aback, looked A Hui up and down, and asked in a low voice, "Did Ah Wei molested you?"

Ah Hui stretched out her hand and hit Ah Zhen angrily, "What nonsense, I'm talking about calling me a washboard."

Ah Zhen quickly walked into Yi Weidong's room speechlessly and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you? I can cook well."

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "No need, I'll get everything ready in the afternoon, and I can cook right away."

Yi Weidong was busy in the kitchen for a while, the kitchen knife was cutting quickly, and the dense sound attracted Ah Hui, standing in front of the kitchen door, he could stuff an egg into his mouth.

Yi Weidong turned his head to see Ah Hui's stupid look, and said with a smile, "Wake up, my saliva dripped on the floor."

Ah Hui turned around and ran into the bathroom to wash her face, came out and said to Ah Zhen: "Sister Zhen, I am ashamed, I didn't expect Ah Wei to really know how to cook, and you haven't seen him cut it so fast, it's faster than the one at the night market. The master is much better."

"Is that so, now you're not worried that Ah Wei will poison you?"

Ah Hui asked: "Are you my little mother? Why don't you help me?"

"I'm your aunt, not your mother."

"My aunt is not the same as my mother, my sister Azhen."

Yi Weidong quickly fried four dishes, and after setting them up, filled them with rice and shouted, "Dinner is ready."

Ah Hui sat down and waited for Ah Zhen to taste it, and quickly asked, "Is it delicious?"

"You'll know if you taste it yourself, it won't kill you."

Ah Hui said in embarrassment: "Stingy ghost, you don't invite me to eat abalone and bird's nest even if you have opened a shop, just fry these four dishes and send me away. I wish you a lifetime of singleness."

As he said that, he took a bite of shredded pork with Beijing sauce, and his face changed at the entrance. It took only a moment to transition from helplessness to surprise, and he quickly said: "It's delicious, this is the best dish I've ever eaten."

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I've been poisoned?"

"I'll eat it even if it's poisoned. I'll be a hungry ghost."

Ah Hui ate her chopsticks like flying, and was soon full. She hid on the sofa crookedly, blushing and hiccupping.

Yi Weidong and A-Zhen finished their meal slowly, A-Zhen rushed to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and the three of them drank soda and rested on the sofa.

Ah Hui rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "A Wei, did you marry Ah Zhen?"

Two red clouds quickly appeared on Ah Zhen's pretty face, she threw herself on Ah Hui, and shouted, "I tore your mouth and told you to talk nonsense."

Ah Hui fought back and shouted: "Sister Ah Zhen, if you marry Ah Wei, I can eat Ah Wei's fried dishes every day."

"I'll let you talk nonsense."

The two had a fight, and Yi Weidong enjoyed the infinite scenery, and when both of them were exhausted, he said, "Take a break and we'll go out to the stall."

The two tidied up their clothes and skirts, looked at each other coldly, and Ah Hui said, "Let me just say, it's better to go to the night market to set up a stall to make money, you can't open a shop."

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Why didn't you tell me before I handed over the rent to you?"

Ah Hui was blocked and had nothing to say, and Ah Zhen laughed indistinctly beside her.

Ah Hui got up angrily and said, "Let's go, you won't have the money to pay the rent if you don't set up a stall."

Ah Zhen also got up and went downstairs, and the three of them came to the night market to find a stall at random. Ah Hui skillfully spread the sheets and put up a signboard, only to find that the words on the signboard had been changed.

Ah Hui thought: "Watch wholesale is 95 yuan a piece, [-] fast per lot."

Then he asked Yi Weidong: "Awei, do you want to do wholesale?"

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "It's too hard to set up a stall every day. It's okay to find a few people to sell watches in other places."

Ah Hui thinks it’s not right, she has helped for so long without a salary, if calculated at five yuan for a watch, she can earn 600 yuan by helping to sell a watch for 3000 yuan, which is not given to herself commission?
Ah Hui said angrily: "Awei, you are shameless and don't even pay me a salary."

Ah Zhen pulled Ah Hui and asked, "Are you crazy? Why are you scolding him for no reason?"

Ah Hui said angrily: "Sister, with the price difference of 5 yuan, I can earn more than 3000 in so many days."

Yi Weidong forgot to settle this account for Ah Hui before, but of course he couldn't admit that he forgot at this time, and said, "Ah Hui, don't be angry, I will keep the account in mind. The money didn't come through before, and I received it tonight. I will give you a salary of 5 yuan per watch, and make up for what I owed you before."

Ah Hui asked: "You cheapskate, will you count all the previous ones?"

It was only then that Yi Weidong realized that Hong Kong people are very clear about money, and that money and friendship are separate.

But that's fine, Yi Weidong is not surprised, it's just that he didn't understand it so deeply before.

Said: "Don't worry, your money will not be lost."

What else did Ah Hui want to say, at this time someone has already asked questions, Ah Hui explained the latest wholesale method, which is very simple, as long as you buy ten watches at a time, no matter whether you get them in other night markets or where to sell them, or keep them for yourself. You can use it for yourself, without any restrictions, and you don’t need to sign a contract. You only need to pay 950 yuan and take away ten watches.

Those who didn't want to do business at first were also moved. Yi Weidong and Ah Hui have been setting up a stall here for a week, and they can sell a bag of watches every day. If they get the goods and sell them elsewhere, they can make a lot of money, right? ?

Ah Zhen stepped forward to distribute the printed business cards and said, "You can get the goods at this address in the future."

Your ten watches and my ten watches were taken away in an instant, and the people behind were very dissatisfied. Yi Weidong said in stuttering Cantonese: "Come with me to the store to get the goods."

Leaving the two women behind to continue explaining and handing out business cards, Yi Weidong returned to the store with more than 20 people. They were not idle all night, and people came to pick up goods with business cards one after another.

I was busy until after eleven o'clock and after the two girls sent back the business cards, no one came to pick up the goods.

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Ah Hui, how's it going? It's okay for me to open a shop, won't it close down?"

"Hmph, you have the ability."

Yi Weidong handed the red envelope he had just prepared to Ah Hui and said, "This is your commission money."

Ah Hui took it happily, and said with a smile, "Thank you boss. Seriously, you should marry my sister, otherwise you will look down on my sister when you get rich in the future."

Ah Zhen stretched out her hand and twisted Ah Hui's arm, blushing and said, "Your brain is out of line, I'm telling you to talk nonsense."

Yi Weidong smiled and said, "Let's go, I'll invite you to eat abalone."
