1980s: I was reborn after being scumbag to death

Chapter 48 Coincidence or Careful Design
Jiang Jun's words are full of contradictions.

The corners of Meng Shulan's mouth twitched as she asked him, "Then where are you going to set it up? It's too late, there's no suitable place."

Jiang Jun smiled and said, "It's okay."

After saying that, he asked Shen Chengyuan to drive the car to the side of Meng's stall, then he directly lifted the cloth covering the stall and started doing business.

Shen Chengyuan stood on the bicycle frame, holding a loudspeaker. "Aunties, sisters, it's going to snow soon. The roads are blocked by heavy snow. These are our last two batches of goods this year. Once they're sold, only the supply and marketing cooperatives will have them. First come, first served. If you're late, I can't help you..."

Regardless of whether what Shen Chengyuan said was true or false, his goal was achieved.

As soon as he finished speaking, people passing by stepped forward to watch, and when they saw clearly what it was, they immediately gathered around.

"Are these really the last two batches? Oh my god, I've been waiting at the town entrance for ages. What the hell are you doing here?"

In this era, there is a shortage of cold-resistant supplies. Compared with a large cotton-padded jacket that takes several years to make, sweaters are still very cost-effective.

It can be worn inside in winter and as a coat in spring and autumn. It appears frequently in public, and everyone wants to have one or two.

As long as someone comes over, there is no need to greet them later.

It is human nature to watch the fun. Even if they don’t buy anything, they will come here just out of curiosity.

Shen Chengyuan and Jiang Jun were busy loading the goods and collecting the money respectively.

Shen Chengyuan is a talkative person and he keeps talking. After handing the wool to the person, he also promotes the Meng family's stall next door.

"I don't want ready-made pants, aunt, sister, I only have a limited supply, only a dozen or so pairs, and I don't know if they'll be available again. If you miss this opportunity, you might have to wait a year. It's a rare opportunity!"

After Shen Chengyuan’s promotion, many people went to see the pants.

Meng Shulan watched all this with her mouth wide open, then quickly ran back to the stall to help.

After seeing her leave, Gu Hansong also returned to his stall, but he did not help sell goods. Instead, he stood silently a few steps away, observing everyone who came to buy things.

At this time, even though he was in a busy city, his mind was empty.

He could judge from the expressions of those people, the movement of their lips, and the emotions in their eyes when they picked up the goods how satisfied they were, whether their needs were met, whether they felt temporarily relieved after buying these things, or whether they had completely let go of the matter.

After collecting this data, he can make a decision about the future business, whether to continue selling wool or stop and do something else.

The wool on the mule cart was bought by people like water.

In less than half an hour, only a little bit of the more than 600 balls of wool was left.

Jiang Jun asked Shen Chengyuan to collect the money and watch the stall, and he came to Gu Hansong and handed him the newspaper in his hand.

He had just bought the newspaper at the post office. Gu Hansong wanted to read it and had never missed a single issue.

Previously, the three of them drove to the town to do business. When they arrived at the town entrance, they were about to set up a rack to unload the goods, but Gu Hansong suggested going to the supply and marketing cooperative to take a look.

At first, Jiang Jun didn't understand why this man suddenly wanted to change places. When he arrived, he found out that he was chasing the girl from the Meng family.

It was just a coincidence that the few of them happened to encounter people from the supply and marketing cooperative who were causing trouble.

Gu Hansong arranged for him to go to the town office to call for help, which led to the Meng family's stall being in trouble. Director Tang ran into them while he was patrolling the streets.

Therefore, most of what you think are coincidences are actually carefully designed by others.

Jiang Jun invited Director Tang and then sent him away. After that, he wanted to avoid being noticed and hid in the crowd without showing up.

Jiang Jun: "I just asked about the license, and Director Tang said there's been no clear response yet, so we should wait a little longer."

Gu Hansong nodded. It seemed that the release would be this month or next month, and it would be out soon.

Gu Hansong: "We'll only sell the wool for another half a month, and then we'll go around the nearby towns twice and then we'll stop." Shen Chengyuan had previously said with a loudspeaker that these were the last two batches of goods. He had originally just said it casually to create momentum so that everyone would speed up to buy things, but he didn't expect his words to come true.

Jiang Jun hummed, then asked tentatively and cautiously, "So which direction are we going next? Are we going to South City to check out the goods?"

Gu Hansong had raised this issue before, saying that some private processing factories had already appeared along the coastal areas, and as long as one had money, one could get something.

At that time, Gu Hansong also told him that the Chinese New Year would be just two or three months away, and he could make some money either by selling clothes or supplementary food.

but now……

Jiang Jun turned his head to look at the Meng family's stall not far away, and felt that the only option now was to sell non-staple food.

Next to him, Gu Hansong also looked in the direction he was looking.

The goods over there are almost sold out, with only a few left, and more than a dozen people gathered around to pick them out.

Gu Hansong: "Let's see what happens then."

The woolen yarn stall next door was cleared out in half an hour. At the Meng family's side, the last pair of pants was bought by a woman with quick eyes and hands.

On the first day of business, I sold more than 40 pairs of pants, which took more than an hour.

Although it can't compare to other people's woolen yarn stalls, it is still very good for the three members of the Meng family.

Mother and daughter looked at each other and smiled.

Meng Changli said softly, "Mom, we have to buy some delicious food to celebrate."

He Jinqiu: "Whatever you want to eat, I'll go buy it now."

Meng Changli: "Mom, let's buy some gray flour and fry some fried fruit."

Meng Shulan: "I want to eat too."

Meng Shulan hasn't eaten this thing for many years. After she got married in her previous life, the Han family was reluctant to use so much oil, so the food was dry every year.

"Okay, I'll buy it."

He Jinqiu was going to the supply and marketing cooperative. Before leaving, he naturally thanked Shen Chengyuan very much. It was thanks to him that he stood up and spoke for his family, otherwise who knows what would have happened.

Shen Chengyuan felt embarrassed and wanted to give Brother Song away, but he saw him shaking his head at him.

Although Shen Chengyuan was just following orders, he was still a pioneer after all, so he deserved the thanks.

After He Jinqiu left, the two Meng sisters collected the baskets and prepared to load the rack into the car.

Seeing this, Shen Chengyuan and Jiang Jun ran over to help.

"Ladies, put it down, let's leave this rough work to us men."

The two of them carried the rack onto the car with one hand and secured everything with ropes to prevent it from slipping.

A few of them stood by the car and started chatting.

Shen Chengyuan knew that they also sold men's trousers here, so he said he wanted to order two pairs. It would definitely be better to find a professional than to ask the old ladies in the village to make them. The bucket pants were all the same in the village, almost like work clothes.

Meng Changli naturally had nothing to say. She walked around Shen Chengyuan and said, don't worry, she has already grasped the size.

Seeing that this person was very professional, Shen Chengyuan pulled Jiang Jun over as well and asked Meng Changli to show it to his cousin as well and order two.

The three of them were talking about the pants. Meng Shulan quietly went to Gu Hansong's side. When her sister's attention was not here, she asked Gu Hansong softly, "How is the thing I asked you to help with last time? Did you find anything?"
