Wearing eighty books, the little widow turns into a rich woman

It was past three o'clock when Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang returned to the station, and the train back to Dongshi was gone after three o'clock.

Li Xiangyang took her to the Second Hotel, a three-story building with a row of doors below full of noodle houses.There are restaurants, shoes sellers, and clothing sellers, and customers can be seen in every store.

The two arrived at the dormitory registration office, and after inquiring about the comrades at the registration office, they learned that Zhou Xiaohong and Chen Dongming hadn't come to register yet.

Li Xiangyang took out the letter of introduction and opened two rooms, telling the register that there were two more of them.

The comrades who registered asked them to wait for the two of them to arrive, and just take the letter of introduction to register.

After registering, Li Xiangyang asked him which floor is the wholesale aniseed?
The person at the registration office told the two that the aniseed sellers were in the inner rooms on the first floor.

A woman in her thirties with shoulder-length short hair took them to the second floor. The two rooms were next to each other. The room had two single beds, a writing desk, and two chairs.

After the waiter left, Lin Lan took a look at the sheets and pillows on the bed. They should have just been changed, and they looked clean.

Li Xiangyang came over from the next door and said to Lin Lan: "Xiao Lan, take a rest for a while, let me go downstairs first?"

"Let's go together."

Lin Lan picked up the military satchel, and the two of them went downstairs together, and walked towards the room in the back of the first floor. Before they arrived, they smelled a strong smell.

After the two approached, they saw that the doors of the wholesale aniseed rooms were all open, and the inside was full of sacks. In one room, several men were playing poker together.

Li Xiangyang and Lin Lan looked at each other, asked the price, and walked to the corner room, where someone was shopping.

Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang walked in, and the somewhat bald boss glanced at them, but was still busy loading the man.

Lin Lan grabbed a few star anise and looked at it: "Why does the boss sell the star anise?"

The boss smiled and said, "We don't sell spare parts."

"We won't come here if we buy zero!"

"This man is busy on his way, you two wait for a while." The boss said quickly packed the goods, collected the money, and sent the man away.

Lin Lan and Li Xiangyang took a look and found that there are several kinds of star anise, some with a strong taste and some with a milder taste.

The boss came back, looked at the two of them with a smile and said, "You want the star anise produced in Guangzhou, or from Sichuan." Then he picked up two kinds of star anise that looked the same, "This kind is from Guangzhou, most of which are used for medicine. This is the daily condiment in Sichuan that is bought a lot.”

Lin Lan took it and looked at it, and felt that the star anise in Guangzhou was bigger, while the one in the province was smaller: "Is there any difference in the prices of these two kinds?"

"The ones in Sichuan are cheap, but the ones in Guangzhou are expensive. You can buy the daily seasonings in Sichuan."

Lin Lan asked about the prices of several seasonings, and felt that they were cheaper than those: "We buy daily seasonings, tell me the prices."

After the boss quoted the price, he also showed his billing slip to the two of them: "You can rest assured to buy my products, they are absolutely genuine."

Lin Lan looked at Li Xiangyang: "What do you think?"

Li Xiangyang said: "Boss, we are a newly opened shop, and we have a large purchase volume. If the price you mentioned is cheaper, we will buy it at your house."

The boss looked at Li Xiangyang in embarrassment: "Brother, to tell you the truth, I just came here not long ago, and the old customers set the cheapest price. If it is less, I won't make a profit."

Lin Lan said with a smile: "We came from Dongshi, and the consignment fee is also expensive. It's cheaper for you."

The boss smiled and shook his head: "The East Market is not far away. I advise you not to check it in. It's easy to drop it if you don't bother. You believe me, when the goods are loaded, I will find a bag carrier to help you carry them to the car. The cost of carrying the bags I'll give it."

Li Xiangyang looked at him: "If the price is cheaper, we will recognize your home in the future."

The boss hesitated for a moment, and said, "There is a discount of two cents on each item, and there is no need to talk about the price if it is less."

"Okay!" Li Xiangyang responded readily.

The boss smiled and asked the names of the two, and told them that his surname was Ge Mingchangfa.

Li Xiangyang boasted that he knew how to do business, and the two followed Boss Ge's suggestion, prepared all the ingredients, gave Boss Ge a little deposit, and told him that they lived in room 203 on the second floor, and they would pick up the goods before leaving tomorrow morning.

Boss Ge smiled and said: "The deposit is unnecessary, and you will pay it together when you come to pick up the goods tomorrow morning."

"Alright!" Lin Lan put away the order, and when the two came out from Boss Ge, they saw Zhou Xiaohong and Chen Dongming standing at the registration office, asking if they were here.

"Sister Zhou, we're here." Lin Lan called out.

Zhou Xiaohong walked over with a smile: "I thought you were still at Lao Chen's place!"

Lin Lan smiled and said, "We've put in all the ingredients."

Zhou Xiaohong looked at the two in surprise: "You guys are very fast!"

"We sat at Lao Chen's for a while, and then we came here." Several people talked and laughed and went upstairs, opened the door and went in to sit down.

Chen Dongming said with a smile: "Mingxuan's clothing business is really good. A group of people came after you left, and Xiaohong and I helped out for a while."

When he and Zhou Xiaohong left, another group of people came, and Xu Mingxuan originally said to send them off, but they couldn't get out.

Zhou Xiaohong took over the conversation, "Mingxuan told us not to be greedy for cheap when buying goods. We must choose better materials, so that there will be more repeat customers." She said and looked at Lin Lan, "Xiaolin, Mingxuan is going to Yangcheng next Wednesday. I'm going to go with him next week. What's your plan?"

Zhou Xiaohong felt that Xu Mingxuan's business was called a business, and that what she and Lin Lan earned was hard money.It comes and goes in the wind and rain all year round. When I get older, I can't bear my waist and legs after standing for a long time. Especially on cloudy and rainy days, my waist and legs hurt like needles.

I went to the hospital for an examination and said that it was severe rheumatism, and told her not to get wet as much as possible, otherwise her joints would become swollen and deformed in the future.

On the way, she discussed with Chen Dongming that while she was still running, she would save more money after a few years of hard work, buy decent houses for the children, and they would save some pension money so as not to burden the children in the future.

Lin Lan thought that today is also Wednesday, so she only has a few days to prepare if she goes. She hasn't asked Li Xiangyang if he has made an appointment with Uncle Da?

She turned her head to look at Li Xiangyang: "Xiangyang, what do you think?"

Li Xiangyang said: "Uncle Da and I made an appointment to go next Sunday, so you have to go first."

Zhou Xiaohong nodded: "Then let's take a step first."

The four of them talked for a while, Lin Lan and Zhou Xiaohong washed their faces, seeing that it was getting late, they went to the station together to buy tickets without eating.

When they arrived at the ticket office of the railway station, the four of them were dumbfounded, and found that there were more people buying tickets at the stations in the provincial capital, and the people queuing up to buy tickets had all lined up outside the ticket office.

Li Xiangyang said to Lin Lan and Zhou Xiaohong: "Brother Chen, wait in line first, I will take you back to the hotel first, if you are hungry, you can eat downstairs, don't wait for us."

Zhou Xiaohong nodded: "Alright, let's go back first and order food in exchange for you."
