The old woman saw that the wild boar meat on the oxcart was of good quality and the price was a dime cheaper than the pork from the supply and marketing cooperative. The ten cents saved could just go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a pound of Chinese cabbage.
"I want leg meat, young man, cut me three pounds."
Yun Yongcheng cut three kilograms of meat, pierced a small hole in the meat with a sharp knife, passed two twisted dry straws through the small hole, and then twisted the two ends of the dry straws together.
In the 1980s, few people used cellophane bags to pack things, and only state-owned supply and marketing cooperatives used them.
Seeing her father carrying the chopped pork to the old woman, Yun Mian thought this was a good idea.
Low carbon and environmentally friendly.
"Young man, here are three dollars. Count them."
The old woman handed a handful of change into Yun Yongcheng's hand. Yun Yongcheng stared at the banknotes in his hand, feeling a little excited for a moment.
He works in a cement factory and occasionally has to work overtime. Counting overtime pay, his salary in a month is only more than thirty yuan.
It's better to make money quickly by doing business, and I can get three yuan in a short time.
Yun Yongcheng tasted the sweetness of doing business for the first time.
Stuffing three dollars into a military green crossbody bag embroidered with a red five-pointed star, Yun Yongcheng raised his head and prepared to continue shouting, but when he looked up, he saw a little dot spinning and dancing in front of the bullock cart.
Yun Yongcheng looked stunned.
What kind of dance is this little girl dancing? She is spinning lightly on the ground on her tiptoes, like an elegant little swan, which is quite beautiful.
More and more passers-by were walking towards the bullock cart, and Yun Mian's little mouth curled up slightly.
Thank you to my mother for forcing me to learn this and that in my previous life, otherwise I would not be able to help my father attract customers now.
Yun Mian finished dancing in the Swan Lake, and there was applause around the oxcart.
"This little girl dances ballet really well."
"She dances well in ballet and she looks so pink. She really looks like a little swan."
"Thank you uncles and aunties for supporting me."
Yun Mian bowed to the uncles and aunts who praised him, straightened up and turned to the topic.
"Uncles and aunties, my uncle and I came to town to sell meat. The meat on the oxcart belongs to us. The weather is so hot. If we can't sell the meat today, it will smell bad tomorrow.
It’s gone. My uncles and aunts came to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy vegetables and meat. My meat is also very fresh, and it’s a dime cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperative. Uncles and aunts, do you want to come and take a look?”
"It turns out that this little girl danced for us just to sell pork. She knows how to help adults at a young age. She is so sensible. Come and have a look."
Yun Mian was partly sincere and partly pitiful in asking for help. In addition, she had a charming face, which impressed many people.
Before Yun Yongcheng was ready, a dozen people were already standing in front of him carrying shopping baskets.
"Uncles and aunties, my pork costs one yuan a pound. If you want to buy it, please wait in line and my uncle will weigh it for you one by one."
Yun Mian returned to Yun Yongcheng's side, raised his little hand and gently tugged on the hem of Yun Yongcheng's clothes. Only then did Yun Yongcheng react and echoed what Yun Mian had just said: "Please line up, one by one.
Come."
In less than an hour, all the pork on the cattle cart was sold out.
Yun Yongcheng patted his military green crossbody bag stuffed with banknotes, looking a little dazed.
He earned 185 yuan in less than an hour, which was enough to cover his salary for half a year.
Yun Yongcheng was dazed for two or three minutes before he calmed down, found a place to tie up the bullock cart, and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative holding Yun Mian's hand.
"Mianmian, uncle will take you to buy new clothes, new shoes, and some delicious food."
Being able to sell one hundred and eighty-five kilograms of pork smoothly today is all thanks to the little guy.
