What a bargain

Jiang Ancheng asked around on the first floor, but he didn't ask about Hua Ni. When he went up to the second floor, there were not many shops, and most of them were wholesalers of clothing. You could tell at a glance that they were definitely gone.

He looked at the sky and could only hurry up and take a taxi to the newly opened shopping mall in the city center. Maybe he could buy it in the mall.

When he went there, it was time to get off work, and the mall was quite busy.

Jiang Ancheng went straight to the cleaning area, and finally found an inconspicuous flower mud in a hidden position in the uppermost corner.

The label says Cleaning Mud.

The ones sold in the mall are really expensive, costing two yuan per piece.

But now that he needs it, he can only find a salesperson and buy all the stock in their supermarket.

Seeing that there were small cards for sale, Jiang Ancheng picked some more and settled together.

Jiang Ancheng held the box and sat down on Xiaobengbeng. He stared at the contact information and address on the flower mud, and suddenly had the idea of ​​ordering his own.

In the early years, when other provincial capitals wanted to sell flowers from Yuncheng, they had the flowers packaged and set off with the bulk goods, while the flower shop owners called for pallets to wait at the station to unload the goods.

Jiang Ancheng returned to the courtyard, soaked the flowers in mud, and tied the flower baskets with everyone else.

There are always people lingering at the entrance of the courtyard who are curious about how they make flower baskets.

Some of them deliberately wanted to see it, and even pretended to be purchasing goods. They went into the yard to get some jasmine flowers, and just stayed in the yard to look at the flower arrangements.

Jiang Ancheng didn't chase them away. Anyway, he put the flower baskets out for people to see. His hands and feet were neat and he could tell how it was done.

Aunt Zhao has always insisted on purchasing goods from Jiang Ancheng and the others. While purchasing goods, she would also ask Jiang Ancheng and Zeng Yilin to teach her how to wrap some small bouquets.

She studied hard, set up her stall well, and her business was very good. After making money, her face was glowing every day.

Aunt Zhao entered the yard and saw Jiang Ancheng and others busy arranging flower baskets again.

This pair of large flower baskets looks like they could be sold for a lot of money.

She felt a little envious, but even if she wanted to take over the flower basket business, there was no place to take orders.

Suddenly, she came up with the idea of ​​opening a flower shop.

Nowadays, there are fruit shops, vegetable shops, grocery stores, and butcher shops. Flowers can make money. Can she also open a shop?

Even if you rent a stall or build a shed, you can do it.

It doesn't cost much.

Aunt Zhao's thoughts were racing, her eyes were shining as she stared at the flower basket, and she was a little worried that if she opened a flower shop, she would not get any business in the future.

She thought it would be better to stay calm and wait until she has a little more savings next year before opening a store.

So as usual, I planned to choose fifty kilograms of lilies, plus fifty kilograms of other flowers.

However, Jiang Ancheng and the others don't have much of their own goods, so they still have to put out opening flower baskets for daily retail.

Jiang Ancheng recommended Aunt Zhao to get jasmine flowers.

Jasmine flowers are small and white. Although they are fragrant, many people still prefer larger, brighter flowers to buy and put in a vase.

Jiang Ancheng took out the pink wrapping paper and pink silk rope, carefully packed a small bouquet of jasmine flowers, put a greeting card inside, and said to Aunt Zhao: "Jasmine's words are Mo Li, don't leave.

I mean, whether it’s a gift for a patient, a friend, or a loved one, it’s all appropriate. If you put a card in it, it will definitely sell well, and our business will be very good this morning.”

The small handful of jasmine bandaged by Jiang Ancheng is very delicate and compact, and the shiny card is the icing on the cake.

Aunt Zhao didn't plan to buy so much jasmine, but she was still moved after hearing Jiang Ancheng's words.

She bought fifty kilograms of jasmine and some water lilies.

Water lilies bloom more beautifully and are quite popular.

Lotus flowers are relatively common, and people thought she was selling vegetables. They thought the price was expensive and she was scolded, so she didn't like lotus flowers.

Before leaving, Aunt Zhao asked Jiang Ancheng: "Are lilies and orchids out of season?"

Jiang Ancheng shook his head, "It's not that it's out of season, it's just that there are less ones that can be harvested. Let's see if we can still harvest them in the future. Anyway, we correspond to different seasons and can definitely wholesale different flowers."

Aunt Zhao nodded regretfully, it would be great if there were lilies for sale every season.

Lilies with bright colors and elegant flowers are the best ones to sell.

Where did Jiang Ancheng get a batch of roses from before? They were quite beautiful, with strong colors like the sun dripping blood.

Unfortunately, there were too few. She tried to get a few but couldn't.

There is strength in numbers, and around nine o'clock in the evening, the eighty-eight pairs of flower baskets were barely enough to hang the congratulatory messages.

They had to come and take her away tomorrow morning, fearing that it would be blown away by the wind tonight, so Jiang Ancheng sorted out the congratulatory message written by Teacher Wei and waited for it to be stapled up with staples tomorrow morning.

After working for so long, everyone is tired and too lazy to prepare such complicated meals.

A plate of fried pork with chili, a plate of fried mushrooms with green pepper, a plate of cold mango, and a pot of pickled cabbage soup are their dinner tonight.

When he was full, Chen Yufei fished another small watermelon from the well.

Just when I was about to take the knife, "Crack-"

It's raining.

It’s not okay if the flower basket gets wet in the rain!

Jiang Ancheng hurriedly said to Chen Yufei: "Quick, put up the tarpaulin!"

He bought a waterproof tarpaulin to prevent such accidents.

Chen Yufei immediately put down the knife and watermelon, and worked together with Jiang Ancheng to pull open the tarp.

Teacher Wei and Zeng Yilin also came to help. After the tarpaulin was torn open, Jiang Ancheng tied it to a pole with a rope and propped it up.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and water quickly accumulated in the middle of the tarpaulin.

Jiang Ancheng couldn't take a pole and poke water into the middle of the tarp, letting the water flow down around the tarp.

The pole was also easily blown over by the wind, so they had to hold on to the pole to hold it up.

After more than an hour, the pouring rain finally turned to light rain.

Jiang Ancheng ran to the vegetable market, picked up a few stone blocks and came back to support the poles. Everyone breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Fortunately, these flower baskets have been saved.

Jiang Ancheng said to Chen Yufei: "I will buy a special shrinking awning tomorrow."

With that kind of awning, everyone doesn't have to work so hard.

Chen Yufei agreed, and Teacher Wei said: "Go and change your clothes. Don't catch a cold. I'll make you a bowl of ginger soup."

"Thanks."

After drinking the ginger soup, Chen Yufei and Jiang Ancheng each lay on the newly purchased steel wire beds. Chen Yufei said: "Brother, when will we collect the flowers tomorrow?"

Jiang Ancheng thought for a while, "Tomorrow is a market day. Many people are not at home in the morning. Let's go in the afternoon."

"OK."

I slept until dawn, the rain stopped, the sun was shining brightly, and the air was exceptionally fresh.

When the time came, the opening flower basket was taken away by a truck.

The yard became empty and there were many fewer flowers.

Fortunately, the grandfather and grandson brought another batch of lotus and lotus flowers to our door. They had bloomed a lot in the past two days, and they picked a lot.

I was originally worried that Jiang Ancheng wouldn't accept it, but on the way there, a few people asked about the price.

After asking about the price given by Jiang Ancheng, I was willing to give them a higher price for wholesale purchase.

The old man promised Jiang Ancheng that the goods must not be sold to others.

But he told Jiang Ancheng, and Jiang Ancheng still raised the price slightly for him.

The old man trusted Jiang Ancheng and would rather sell it to Jiang Ancheng at a cheaper price than give it to anyone else.

With these flowers, Jiang Ancheng was busy for a while and bandaged in many styles.

If they have a flower shop, they can also sell glass vases.

It's a pity that when they are placed in the market, there are few consumers like this.

After setting off on a float, Jiang Ancheng passed by the school gate and remembered his customized business card. He went in and asked, but was dismissed by the landlady impatiently, "It's a week after week, what's the rush?"

Jiang Ancheng is helpless, the service attitude is so bad, I will wait for two years to see if you still have business.

He turned around and left, glanced at the phone booth from the corner of his eye, and said to Chen Yufei: "I'll make a call, you go first."

"good."

Jiang Ancheng took out the address and phone number written down on the package, waited for a while, and then dialed the number.

"Hello."
