Bai Mengdie took it and was about to drink it, Yuanyuan said: "Give me a drink after you finish drinking."

Bai Mengdie was helpless, looked around and put the water back into Shi Lei's hand: "I'll buy three convenient cups. Everyone uses the cup to drink water more hygienic." After that, he ran to the nearest snack bar and asked people to buy three convenient cups.

The boss rolled his eyes and said he would not sell it, and insisted that she buy liquid foods such as soy milk porridge in their store that are conveniently packed with soy milk.

But when Bai Mengdie asked about the soy milk porridge and other foods in his store were twice as expensive as other places.

The more prosperous the area, the more expensive it is to eat and drink, she knows this.

But she also knows that there are usually breakfast shops in large communities. This kind of breakfast shop does business with acquaintances in the community and the prices are very reasonable.

So Bai Mengdie ran to the community where Shi Lei sold vegetables just now. After only half a circle, she found two snacks, which not only sold breakfast, but also lunch.

Bai Mengdie walked into the storefront called "Fat Sao Snack Shop" and saw that the price list hung on the wall of the store said 15 cents and 100 yuan bowl of white rice porridge.

Bai Mengdie bought three bowls, and the fat and fat boss lady put some dried chili fried sour beans in each bowl of porridge, and put them in plastic bags to make it easier for her to pick it up, and her service attitude was very good.

Bai Mengdie wanted to buy three convenient cups by the way, and the boss's wife gave her three for free, asking her to take care of her business in the future.

Bai Mengdie responded awkwardly with a little embarrassed look, "Okay".

She knew that the boss's wife mistakenly thought she was a resident of this community, so she was so kind and generous to her.

Bai Mengdie returned to Shi Lei and Yuanyuan with porridge and a cup of convenience. Everyone started eating with the food they brought.

This porridge is very thin and can be quenched after drinking it.

The sour beans in the porridge tasted badly, they were salty and skinny, and they were not as delicious as the sour beans at home.

But it's free, and even if the taste is not good, there is nothing to be picky about.

After a simple lunch, Bai Mengdie and his sister wanted to go shopping in Hanzheng Street to get some goods, so they naturally couldn't throw Yuanyuan down.

This is Yuanyuan's first time in the provincial capital. She is unfamiliar with the place and is a girl. If something happens to her on the road by herself, how can his brother and sister explain to her family?

So he took her to Hanzheng Street with him.

Yuanyuan was so excited that she hadn’t visited Hanzheng Street yet, and today she could be an eye-opener.

Hanzheng Street on Children's Day is particularly lively. Many parents bring their babies to buy clothes and toys. The streets are crowded and difficult to move forward.

In the later generations of Bai Mengdie, Hanzheng Street was not so crowded, because there were too many shopping places and online shopping, which diverted a lot of customers.

The three children moved slowly with the crowd, watching while walking.

There is a store where you are selling small jewelry. Nine out of ten girls will be interested in small jewelry, and the only one who is not interested is a tomboy.

Yuanyuan immediately pulled Bai Mengdie over excitedly and picked up the small jewelry he liked.

Bai Mengdie has a row of thick bangs. When the weather is hot, it is a bit hot. I want to buy a headband to bring the bangs to cool down.

Considering that I am fat, it is better to buy a thin hairband. Bai Mengdie took a rose-red wavy plastic thin hairband and asked: "How to sell this?"

The salesperson with heavy makeup said impatiently: "It's not sold in small quantities, only one set of ten items will be sold. All the ones on your side cost 30 cents each, ten items cost 3 yuan. If only one item is available, it costs 50 cents each."

Bai Mengdie put down the hairband, which cost 50 cents a day, and the retail price was all over the street.

I can still try it in a small shop and look in a mirror, but I can only choose it here. It is impossible to try it in a mirror to look at the effect.

Besides, there are also these small things sold in the county town. You can buy them for less than 50 cents. That’s better than buying them in a small county town.

When the salesperson saw that Bai Mengdie stopped buying, his face suddenly turned ugly: "Homemaker, don't move if you can't afford it! You're cheap!"

Bai Mengdie retorted: "Your thing costs 50 cents, not 50 yuan, not 50 yuan, not 50,000 yuan, who can't afford it?

I don't buy it because I look down on you, a parallel product. Do you not know yourself? (System goods: dialect, inferior products.)

You are poor and you won’t stand here and sell it if you have money, so when you joke with others, you will first call yourself a pound!”

After saying this, she squeezed out and ignored the salesperson and sister so angry that she jumped up.

The Chinese language is profound and profound, and the word "sell" is really imaginative!

Yuanyuan was holding a bow hairpin in her hand and wanted to buy it. When Bai Mengdie left, she had to throw the hairpin down and then leave.

She is not familiar with the place and must not be separated from the Bai Mengdie brothers, and will not be able to go home.

The three people continued to move forward, almost all the stores selling children's clothing, toys, and small jewelry were on sale.

However, this is a wholesale market. Although it is used for promotions, there are very few retailers. Everything is sold in groups. Even clothes are sold in groups of five pieces and toys are sold in groups.

However, parents don’t mind buying five pieces of clothes for their babies as soon as they buy, nor do they care about buying a whole set of toys as soon as they buy them.

Bai Mengdie looked and thought, it was better for the children in the city to be happy. It would be good for children in the countryside to be able to eat an ice cream and a plate of green peppers on Children's Day.

After finally walking to the street where you sell stationery, there are shops doing promotions.

Bai Mengdie asked about the price. Even if a stationery wholesale shop that does not conduct promotions is only 30 cents. Those who do promotions are even lower, only 30 cents.

The retail price is 50 cents per unit, which shows that the profit is quite large.

There is also a 30% profit between the wholesale price and retail price of various operation books and modification liquids, which is not small.

Bai Mengdie didn't expect that stationery would have such a big profit margin. You can imagine how profitable the stationery stores at the entrance of the school were.

Bai Mengdie approved all kinds of homework books for fifty yuan and a neutral pen worth fifty yuan, which quickly cost 100 yuan.

She also specializes in finding stalls selling small accessories, and spent thirty yuan to get some cheap and beautiful headbands and small edge cards.

Summer is here, and these headbands and small edge cards are basically used by a girl.

When Bai Mengdie bought small accessories, Yuanyuan also picked a few items to buy with her in group so that she could buy the small accessories she liked at the lowest price.

Yuanyuan saw Bai Mengdie buying so many stationery and small accessories, and asked curiously: "Why did you buy so many stationery and small accessories?"

Although Bai Mengdie has a good impression of her, she is not a good friend and it is impossible for her to tell the truth to her in everything.

He said perfunctorily: "Of course these stationery are bought and used. These small accessories are intended to be given to classmates."

Yuanyuan took a breath of air: "It's so hard for you to go to high school. You have so much homework, so many pens and notebooks!"

When buying good things, Bai Mengdie put all the goods in her schoolbag and carried them on her back, and left with Yuanyuan and Shi Lei.

Because there were too many people shopping, they could only follow the trend and could not return as usual. Bai Mengdie took them around and walked out of the other street.

Anyway, Yuanyuan doesn't mind taking a detour while walking.

Although Hanzheng Street is called "street", it is actually not a street, but like a spider web, there are countless streets, each street selling the same product.

The street Bai Mengdie and the others are now selling cloth.

Some shops have a wooden stall built with colorful cloth heads at the door.

These cloth heads are the remaining products left by the store selling cloth, and are sold at super low prices.

It is said that it is a cloth head, the shortest one is at least half a meter and the long one is one or two meters.

In 1998, clothing was still relatively expensive, so some people bought fabric and went to the tailor's shop to make clothes, which was much cheaper than buying finished products.

This kind of cloth head is cheaper than that sold in cloth stores, so it was very popular among housewives in that era.

Yuanyuan immediately ran to a stall selling cloth heads to select fabrics.

Bai Mengdie and Shi Lei were originally waiting for her one or two meters away from the stall, but Shi Lei suddenly stepped over and flipped through the pile of fabrics high in the hills.

Bai Mengdie thought he wanted to buy two pieces of cloth for him to make two clothes for him.

His clothes were washed white and short and small, so he had to make new clothes.

Bai Mengdie was carrying a schoolbag on her back, standing there looking at Zhongzi and two empty baskets waiting for Yuanyuan and Shi Lei.

After waiting for at least half an hour, Bai Mengdie's legs became sore, and she kept changing the center of gravity. Yuanyuan ran over happily with two pieces of fabric.

Let Bai Mengdie see the fabric she bought and ask if it looks good or not, whether it is suitable for her to wear.

Bai Mengdie glanced at the two pieces of fabric in her hand, all of which were chemical fiber fabrics, one was white and the other was blue on white.

Country girls in that era especially liked chemical fiber fabrics, which were bright colors and would not fade.

In fact, Bai Mengdie also likes chemical fiber fabrics because they are easy to wash, so they can be washed very clean with soap. However, pure cotton and pure linen are not as easy to wash as chemical fibers.

Bai Mengdie smiled and said that both pieces of fabric look good, and she must be suitable for her clothes. Yuanyuan was so happy that she couldn't even close her mouth.

Bai Mengdie thought to herself, even Yuanyuan has picked the fabric, why haven’t Shi Lei been selected yet?

What are the things that boys have to choose from? Isn’t it just gray, black, white and blue? Does that guy have difficulty choosing syndrome?

She was complaining in her heart, and seeing Shi Lei squeezed out with a few pieces of colorful fabrics, she walked to her side with great strides.

Bai Mengdie was stunned for a moment, reached out and flipped through the pieces of fabric in his arms, a total of four pieces.

The two brightly colored ones were bought for her, and the two simple ones were probably bought for Tian Chunfang.

Shi Lei asked Bai Mengdie to take off her schoolbag, and he put the pieces of fabric in her schoolbag.

Bai Mengdie took off her schoolbag, watched him putting cloth in, and said angrily: "Why are you buying fabric for me? I just made a new skirt."

Shi Lei smiled warmly and said, "You are about to celebrate your birthday, these two pieces of fabric will be used as birthday gifts for you."

Yuanyuan immediately poked her head over and said enviously: "Your brother is so nice to you!"

After Shi Lei packed the fabric, he carried the schoolbag on his body, and he took the empty load himself.

Bai Mengdie followed him with an empty bag on his back: "You are so yeah, you see that your pants are short and old, so you don't want to buy two pieces of fabric and ask your mother to make two pairs of pants for you, so you must buy them for me!"
