The Orphan's Counterattack in the 1970s

Chapter 162 Cooperation

When she got home, Liu Zhaodi breathed a sigh of relief. Their business must have been so good today that they were targeted by others.

"Xiao Lin, why aren't you scared? I was almost scared to death. But, according to your skills, the person who followed us may not be able to beat you." Liu Zhaodi was a little frustrated. She was the one who dragged Xiao Lin down. , if she hadn't been with her, Xiaolin would have definitely caught the person with bad intentions.

"Don't worry, as far as that person's skills are concerned, I can pick him out against ten." Chen Xiaolin curled her lips in disdain. As for the person who wanted to cause harm to her, she could knock him down with one hand.

It was a pity that the man never dared to take action, but for the sake of safety, Chen Xiaolin still deliberately went around several times and got rid of him before going home with confidence. After all, there are usually only some old, weak, sick and disabled people left at home.

"Then shall we go in the afternoon? Business is so good, it would be a pity not to go." Liu Zhaodi never thought that money would be so easy to make, and in just a short time, the bag was almost filled with money.

"Go, but we can change places. Let's bring some down jackets to sell at the intersection of the department store." Chen Xiaolin planned to change places once in a while. If she kept selling clothes in the same place, she would be targeted by others.

Today, it is because the business is so good that those jealous people are focusing on it. It's only 1978, so doing business still requires a low profile.

Far away in the suburbs of Beijing, Yu Youyin and Chen Hangyu were selling sweaters at the market with loudspeakers.

Today they bought a tractor full of sweaters and went to the market on the outskirts of Beijing.

A sweater that costs ten yuan a piece is still a bit expensive for farmers in the suburbs of Beijing, so most people just watch, but not many people buy.

"Young man, your sweater is really too expensive. Can it be cheaper?" Aunt Chen hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't bear to buy it. Ten yuan is enough for a family to live for a long time.

"Auntie, ten yuan is already very cheap. When you buy two kilograms of wool from the supply and marketing cooperative, it usually costs nearly seven yuan, and you also need wool tickets." Yu Youyin felt that he might have come to the wrong place today, walking in the market. Most of the people are rural people and they don't have much money.

He has already planned to leave the market and sell it at the factory gate. If he continues to sell it in the market, he may not even be able to make back today's gas money.

"Then I want a bright red one. Your sweater is really good, but it's a bit expensive." Aunt Chen hasn't worn a sweater for a long time. When she got married, the old man spent money to buy the wool for her. The sweater she knitted herself.

"Okay, Hangyu, help her pack it.

Yu Youyin, Chen Hangyu and Aunt Chen left the market after trading. It was already past eleven o'clock, and people at the nearby steel factory were about to get off work.

Sure enough, it is still suitable to sell clothes at the factory gate. Although there are many people in the market, there are very few people who are willing to buy.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Yu Youyin and Chen Hangyu sold out their clothes and went home.

"Youyin, have you eaten? If not, there is still food in the pot." Grandma Chen saw that everyone was very tired from selling clothes in the past two days, so she specially killed the chicken and made chicken soup at noon today.

"I'll go eat later. Grandma, where's Xiaolin? Why don't you see her at home?" Yu Youyin looked around the house and didn't see Chen Xiaolin and Liu Zhaodi.

"They went to the department store. Even if you want to find her, you have to eat before going." Grandma Chen brought out the food in the kitchen for Yu Youyin and Chen Hangyu to eat. She couldn't help much at home. , I can only make them more delicious food to replenish their health.

"Well, we'll go find them later." Yu Youyin didn't plan to sell clothes in the afternoon. He and Chen Hangyu wanted to talk to the manager of the department store about something.

The weather in the afternoon was really stuffy and hot. Chen Xiaolin and Liu Zhaodi were sweating profusely as soon as they arrived near the department store.

"The temperature difference between day and night is too big now. I covered myself with a thick quilt last night, but I would sweat even if I wore two clothes during the day." Liu Zhaodi was so hot that she fanned herself with her hands. After living in the Northeast for so many years, even though she returned to Beijing, The city has been around for more than half a year. But she is still not used to the weather here. She feels that it is drier in Beijing than in the Northeast.

"The weather in Beijing is very different from that in the Northeast. It has started to snow in the Northeast at this time, but it is only a little cold in Beijing."

It was actually only about ten kilometers from home to the department store, but it was quite tiring for Chen Xiaolin to ride all the way. After all, the clothes and Liu Zhaodi's clothes together weighed about three hundred kilograms.

It seems that she has not exercised enough during this period. According to her previous physical strength, she might not be out of breath even after riding this distance.

Chen Xiaolin and Liu Zhaodi rested for a while and then put out their sweaters and down jackets. This time Chen Xiaolin not only brought a down jacket but also twenty watches.

There were not many people shopping in the department store in the afternoon. Chen Xiaolin and the others stayed there for almost half an hour before placing their first order.

That's how business is, as long as it's open, the rest will be easy.

Although the business in the afternoon was not as good as in the morning, the sales lasted until about five o'clock in the afternoon, and a cart of clothes and twenty watches were almost sold out.

Yu Youyin and Chen Hangyu originally planned to come over to help, but they didn't expect that they talked with the manager of the department store for almost two hours.

By the time they came out of the department store, Chen Xiaolin and the others had disappeared.

Today they also reached a cooperation agreement with the department store. The down jackets, cotton coats and sweaters they brought back from Yangcheng were all purchased by the department store.

As for watches, radios and televisions, they plan to cooperate with people on the black market, because department stores really can't afford these goods.

Chen Hangyu's eldest brother knew a boss of the black market and helped them make an appointment with the black market boss for tonight's transaction.

Yu Youyin planned to sell the remaining cloth and bits and pieces of clothing by himself.

Because they had to deal with the black market boss tonight, Chen Hangyu and his wife did not go back to the military compound.

After dinner, Chen Hangyu and Yu Youyin left the house.

"Youyin, I didn't expect that the things we brought back were sold so quickly."

Chen Hangyu felt like he was in a dream these two days. He didn't expect that the things he brought back from Yangcheng would be so profitable.

It seems that he will be able to buy a house and move out soon. He is happy just thinking about not having to mediate the relationship between his wife and mother's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

"Don't worry, I will help you make more money in the future." Although Yu Youyin loves money, he wants to make money with the people around him. After all, having fun alone is not as good as having fun with everyone.

"Well, I heard from my dad that reform and opening up seems to be coming, and we can make a lot of money openly in the future." Although Chen Hangyu's dad is in the army, he has people he knows in the army, which is why he doesn't object to Chen Hangyu following Yu Do business with Yin.
