My 1999

"Brother Liang, we are not students anymore, can you put it this way?" Liu Qiang came over and whispered.

"Bullshit, I'm not a student? Xiaomeng and Haibing are not students?"

"yes."

"That's alright. We sell Spring Festival couplets as part of our work-study program."

Having experience in his previous life, Xu Liang knew the importance of publicity.

Using the name of work-study program can increase sympathy points and increase sales, and it is also consistent with everyone's age and status, which is also the 'selling point' of their Spring Festival couplets.

As for the so-called face, he had completely lost it after entering society in his previous life.

The high-pitched voice and high-hanging banners quickly attracted many market-goers.

In this era, telephones have just become popular in their area, and the people have not experienced repeated scams through telephones and the Internet, and their minds are relatively simple and compassionate.

Especially those who have children studying at home are more likely to empathize.

So business soon came to my door.

The old lady looked up at the banners and the young faces.

After looking down at the stall.

"Young man, how much does this Spring Festival couplet cost?"

"Auntie, we pay two yuan per door." Xu Liang said quickly.

"I want three doors, but two doors don't need door cores. You can replace them with the word '福' for me."

An ordinary farmhouse courtyard consists of two main rooms, one large and one small. The door of the main room is different from the courtyard door and is generally half glass and half solid wood.

Therefore, it is impossible to stick a door core that is more than one meter long. Most people use the word "福" instead of the door core.

I bought twelve more blessing characters and fifty carrot coins.

"Young man, how much do you think it is?"

"Auntie, it's six yuan for three families, fifty cents each for the word "Fu", and ten fifty cents for carrot money. The total is fourteen and a half yuan. We don't want any change. Fourteen yuan will do."

The old lady took fourteen and a half yuan and handed it over.

"Auntie, I don't want these fifty cents."

"Hurry up and take it. The old woman is not short of the fifty cents. It's not easy for you kids to sell Spring Festival couplets in the winter. Study hard in the future."

"Thank you, ma'am."

Xu Liang didn't refuse anymore, and quickly rolled up the Spring Festival couplets bought by the old lady, tied them with rubber bands and handed them over.

"Mother, please go away."

The old lady took it with a smile and walked away on crutches.

After watching the old lady go away, Xu Liang turned around.

"Have you seen it? This is how Spring Festival couplets are sold."

Everyone nodded quickly, "I understand, Brother Liang."

"Come here, I'll tell you the price."

Although there are many Spring Festival couplets here in Xu Liang, they can only be summarized into seven or eight categories, and the prices are easy to remember.

After the first customer came to the door, a second one soon followed.

During the Spring Festival, Spring Festival couplets are a necessity and every household needs them.

Xu Liang did not come forward this time, but asked Xu Meng to greet him by himself.

Although it was the first time for the little girl to sell Spring Festival couplets, she often went to the market with him to sell vegetables during the summer vacation, so she didn't have any stage fright.

Xu Meng ran over happily after getting the money.

"Brother, I made twenty yuan."

He patted her head and said, "Keep up the good work."

"Gangzi, you're next."

Huo Gang nodded.

Maybe it's the "work-study" slogan that really works. Although he doesn't have many customers here, they keep coming one after another.

Xu Liang also took the opportunity to let each of his friends entertain customers once or twice, thus accumulating a certain amount of experience.

In fact, this is not complicated at all.

I looked at the time, it was already 8:20 in the morning.

Generally speaking, the winter market only enters its peak period after 9:30.

At this time, the straw thatch of the greenhouse was pulled up, and the eye of the wind was released, so there was time to go to the market.

After seeing everyone get started, Xu Liang called everyone over.

"Gangzi, Hongchuan, Xuxu. This stall will be left to you."

"Brother Liang, you want to leave?"

Huo Gang said.

"We have three episodes today, Huantai is the first one, and there are Gaolou and Beiyang." Xu Liang changed the subject, "Remember, after today's Huantai episode, there will be two more episodes during the Chinese New Year. You three will be responsible for rushing to Huantaiji."

The market here is not held every day, but once every five days.

"I got it, Brother Liang."

He took out three pockets from the motorcycle compartment and distributed them to the three of them.

"You have thirty yuan for each bag to use as change. If you encounter someone holding fifty or one hundred dollars, you must check whether it is genuine or counterfeit. Anyone who receives a large amount of counterfeit money will have ten dollars deducted from their salary."

"In addition, there are 200 Spring Festival couplets of all kinds here today, and the prices have been told to you. I will sell the Spring Festival couplets later, and finally settle the accounts. The fraction of 10 cents or 20 cents will be waived, but the rest will not be allowed."

"I will do an inventory after I finish selling today. It's easy to calculate how many Spring Festival couplets you sold and how much you should earn. If the final accounting shows that the difference exceeds fifty, the three of you will have half of your salary deducted today."

The harsh tone made the three of them pale slightly, indicating that they had experienced the cruelty of society in advance.

Xu Liang did not comfort him with gentle words. He was doing business, not charity.

"Gangzi, you are the captain here and are responsible for managing them. If anything happens, you make the decision." Xu Liang said seriously.

"I got it, Brother Liang."

Huo Gang said seriously.

Xu Liang patted his shoulder.

"Also, the food standard is two yuan per person at noon. Of course, if you want to eat better, that's no problem. You can pay for it yourself and it will be deducted from your daily wages."

"Brother Liang, when can we go back?" Huo Gang asked.

"Two o'clock in the afternoon."

It's not the climax of the annual gathering yet. The gathering has basically dispersed at two o'clock in the afternoon.

"I'll leave this to you."

The three of them nodded solemnly.

"Everyone else, follow me."

He took the remaining seven people with him and rode a motorcycle three-wheeler all the way home.

Because the road was already familiar, it was very fast and we arrived home in more than 20 minutes.

Carry the wooden boxes containing Spring Festival couplets and other sundries prepared in advance into the car.

"Does everyone know about Zhulouji?" Xu Liang said.

"I know, it's just east of Zhuliang."

"Brother Liang, I'm going to catch up with Zhulouji."...

Xu Liang nodded, "Qiangzi, you drive."

"Xiaomeng, Lao Bo, Hui, the four of you will go together."

Everyone nodded.

"Xiaomeng, you will be the captain of this team."

He said and threw his belt bag away.

"Don't worry, brother. I will definitely take care of them."

Xu Meng is confident.

She is 1.75 meters tall and does not look weak at all among the boys.

"Okay, let's go."

After seeing them off, Xu Liang took the remaining people and rushed to Beiyangji.

When we got here, after getting everything done, it was almost ten o'clock and the crowds were already at its peak.

Fortunately, there were four of them to cope with it.

Unknowingly, it was noon, and we took turns to finish lunch. After gathering at two o'clock in the afternoon, we packed up and headed back.

"Brother, are you back?"

Xu Meng heard the noise and ran out. Liu Qiang and others followed behind, with excitement in their expressions. It was obvious that there was no shortage of sales that day.
