Reborn in the Millennium: Building a Fortune from Fishing

Chapter 144 Selling Trinkets
I took Yanyan to a candy stall in the middle. The owner had been reminded by his friend and had used waterproof cloth to occupy two more meters of the stall. When he saw Qin Dahe coming, he put it away and gave it to him.

"Thanks, grandpa. Nice to have a cigarette." He took out a pack of Red Nanjing cigarettes, which were quite prestigious.

"Haha, no delay at all. What are you selling?" the boss asked curiously.

Qin Dahe was carrying a wooden box. When he opened the box, he saw a layer of waterproof cloth on it.

He first took out the waterproof cloth, revealing a number of lively little ornaments.

"My father-in-law made some small ornaments out of fragrant wood, pepper wood, and jujube wood and asked me to sell them. Grandpa, take one and play with it."

"Forget about taking it, just open the store first."

How can you do such an unpleasant thing as taking other people's things before the business opens?

The things were lined up in a row, including small animals such as toads, rabbits, and puppies, as well as various small tools such as itchy crawlers and teething sticks.

The teething stick was made of prickly ash wood. He kept one and gave it to Binbin to chew later.

There are also many small things that can be carved from the remaining Huanghuali materials, but I have to wait until my grandfather finishes the big ones before he has time to make them.

After arranging the things, he took out a folding stool from the box and asked Yanyan to sit on it. Qin Dahe hung a waist bag on his belly to attract customers.

"A small ornament made of fragrant wood, it repels insects and ants, six dollars each."

"This toothpaste made of Sichuan pepper wood is a must-have for children during their teething period. Chewing it every day will help them grow teeth faster."

He said a few words and then squatted down. There were so many people around, and people would gather around him just by shouting.

No one cares what he is selling, as long as they take a look, there is no harm in doing so.

"This rabbit is beautiful and smells good." He didn't stop some people from taking it directly, as long as they didn't let it be stolen.

He put the bigger ones in front and the smaller ones in the back, and if others wanted to see them, they had to ask him for help.

Almost all the children came in, and they have no resistance to small ornaments.

"Boss, how much is this teething stick?"

"Two dollars each, natural Sichuan pepper wood, smell it." He handed it over with a smile.

The guest picked it up and smelled it. It had a special fragrance and was very pleasant to smell.

"When my child is teething and drooling, I can give him this to chew. It's good for him and it can also reduce inflammation and kill bacteria."

He didn't know the details, but in his previous life, there were indeed many people buying pepper wood teething sticks everywhere, which were not easy to get in normal times.

No one grows peppercorns here, so the raw materials can only be ordered from other places.

"Give me three, five dollars each." One is not enough to chew. It takes a kid a year or two to chew on it.

"Okay." Qin Dahe happily put the money away.

If you buy three items that cost two yuan, you will definitely sell them for five yuan. The reason why the big market sells a wide variety of items at low prices.

"Boss, give me a rabbit."

"I want one too. Give me a Lai Lai Gu." The Lai Lai Gu here refers to the toad.

Many people took a quick look at the ornaments and thought the materials were good. They were just a few dollars and they bought them after their children made a little noise.

The forty teething sticks were sold out quickly. People are willing to spend money on their little ones.

If teeth grow quickly, you can eat more and grow tall and strong.

"It's a small ornament made of precious wood, only a few dollars each. You can't afford to lose money or get cheated."

After the people left, he shouted twice again, "Business is really good here."

Sometimes when she is too busy, Yanyan comes forward to help. When her sweet voice rings out, others buy more.

Because everyone thinks that girls like this are easy to fool and they can bargain more.

But she didn't know how much discount to give. If she couldn't figure it out, she would ask Qin Dahe because he was in charge.

"Hey, Auntie, please buy some."

While he was restocking, he saw an aunt putting something into her pocket, so he quickly went forward and grabbed her hand.

But I didn't say anything about stealing. If I just kept yelling and arguing with others, I wouldn't be able to do business.

"Oh, this is pretty. How much is it?"

"Six pieces, Auntie. This is fragrant wood." He said with a smile.

"Give."

After paying the money, the other party left in a hurry, and Yanyan didn't know what happened.

"Brother, there's not much left."

Yanyan looked at the box and found that most of the items inside had been sold out, with only some small toys on the stall left.

"Go buy me some glutinous rice cakes and soy milk. Don't run too far, be careful of human traffickers." I ate at six in the morning, and now I'm hungry again.

"Hey, there are no human traffickers who kidnap adults."

"Just listen to what I tell you and be careful, okay?" Qin Dahe said worriedly.

There are many cases of trafficking of female college students nowadays. The woman at home is as stupid as a turtle. Don't let her be taken away by someone.

"I know." Yanyan waved at him and went to buy food happily.

While selling things, Qin Dahe would look up at Yanyan from time to time. He had to keep a close eye on such a good wife.

After all the things were sold out, the little girl came back with the food.

"Brother, you are amazing. You have sold out so quickly."

"Haha, your dad only made this little, not enough to sell at the market." He took the glutinous rice cake and started eating.

The rice cake fried in rapeseed oil is very fragrant, and you can feel some glutinous rice particles inside, and the shell is very crispy.

Generally, the goods sold in large markets are mainly industrial products, which are large in quantity and cheap. This kind of handmade ornaments are really rare.

"Eat one too. Open your mouth."

After feeding one, he took the rest in his mouth, and even drank the soy milk together.

The boss next to them laughed at their clingy attitude. This young couple is really interesting.

"Not for sale?"

"That's all we have. Once they're sold out, they'll be gone. Grandpa, let's go shopping."

Before leaving, he also gave people a cigarette. It was much more comfortable for some people to set up a stall in advance and they didn’t have to get up early.

He has also fallen into depravity recently, smoking a Red Nanjing cigarette in his mouth, which is more delicious than the Sheng Tang cigarette that costs 2.5 yuan.

My father-in-law sold goods worth about 300 yuan, and they were sold out in more than an hour. I used the money to go shopping.

Anyway, what belongs to him is Yanyan, and what belongs to him is Yanyan, hey!

"Want some popcorn? Someone's collapsing."

"eat."

The two of them moved forward quickly, spent a dollar to buy a small bag of freshly made popcorn, and ate it with such delicious taste.

"Brother, I want to eat marshmallows."

Another dollar was spent, and the little girl got tired of it after two bites. The smell of pigment was pungent.

"Brother, do you want to eat?" Holding Qin Dahe's arm, she felt really happy at this moment.

"If you don't eat it, it will be thrown away. Our family has money."

The little girl threw it away quickly after hearing this. She just hoped that her brother didn't mind her wasting it. She didn't want to give it to her brother to eat because it was unhealthy.

Turning the corner, there were even more people, and he directly hugged Yanyan in his arms.

There were people beating drums and gongs in front, and Yanyan pinched him, thinking there would be something exciting to watch.

"what happened?"

"I came here to watch the fun, but I can't see anything." The little girl said depressedly.

"Come up." He said and squatted down.

"what?"

"Come on and ride it. It's like this at other people's houses." Yanyan looked around and saw that there were people riding it, but they were all children. She was a little embarrassed to get on.

"Hurry up, there's a juggling show going on up ahead."

After hesitating for a while, Yanyan still got on it.

Noticing the gazes from all around her, her face began to turn red again and she hugged her brother's head tightly.

Qin Dahe turned his head, so soft.

"Let's go."

"Go forward, I want to see the circus." The little girl suddenly became anxious, this was the wrong direction.

"Haha, just call me dear and I'll take you there." He teased the little girl on purpose and bumped her head, which actually hit her.

"Bad guy." The little girl naturally felt the prince's little move. After hesitating for a moment, she lowered her head and whispered in Qin Dahe's ear: "Dear, take me to the circus."

"That's good."

Not to mention the affectionate couple here, on the other side, a group of people started shopping in a big way.

Buy some pots, pans, and other items as long as they are cheap, and put them directly in a snakeskin bag.

It was the first time for my aunt to go to the market with everyone. She found everything new and whenever she saw something delicious, she would buy two to try. If she couldn’t finish the food, she would feed it to her son and nephew.

The two little fat boys are very happy today. They can see all kinds of colorful food, and someone will buy it for them whenever they want to eat it.

"Rong Xiang, what are you doing over there? There are so many people." The aunt pulled her husband's sleeve. She wanted to go over and take a look.

"Sister, it seems they're selling shampoo over there."

"Go and have a look, it's cheaper at the market."

A group of people rushed over there. Now the market was full of people carrying large and small bags. They would have to deliver another bag later and put the bags in the cab of the car, which had a lock, so at least no one would steal them.

"Fellow villagers, I'm a truck driver hired by the Sassoon shampoo manufacturer. My truck overturned near the Phoenix Bridge, and I can only bring the shampoo here to sell to mitigate the losses. Please have some pity on me."

The man who was speaking wiped away his tears, picked up the shampoo on the table and introduced it to everyone.

"This costs fifteen yuan if you buy it in the supermarket. I'll sell it for half price. I only need to pay half of it as compensation, and it's the genuine article."

I guess I've been saying this for several rounds because there are so many people buying things around here.

"It's really cheap. Let's go and buy some too." The old lady was immediately tempted.

Women use a lot of shampoo anyway, so it’s a good idea to buy some and keep some at home.

My aunt didn't go to buy anything because she didn't dare use something that was too cheap. But she also joined in the fun and helped to get the goods.

Brother Yong and his uncle looked at each other and helplessly held their son's hand.

I definitely wouldn’t dare to hold him unless he could no longer walk.

"Abao's stuff should be sold out, right?"

"I'll make a phone call and ask." The two grown men were carrying a lot of things, so they had to make a delivery.

When the phone call was connected, the young couple over there were still watching the circus. They were watching monkeys and dogs, which was so fun. There were also some acrobatics such as balancing tables and benches and breathing fire.

Yanyan watched intently. If she wanted to go to the market, she had to ask her father to take her there. It had been a long time since she saw such a lively scene.

At this time, the phone rang and Qin Dahe answered it directly because the phone didn't even have caller ID.

He could activate it if he wanted, but it would cost him ten dollars, which he couldn't afford since there weren't any harassing phone calls right now anyway.

"Hey."

"Uncle, you guys want to give me a ride, right? I'll wait for you at the car."

After hanging up the phone, he called the girl, but there was no response.

"Yan Yan, come down."

"Ah?" She was a little reluctant.

"Brother, can you let me watch for a while longer? We're married." She whispered something in Qin Dahe's ear and blushed.

In order to watch the excitement for a while longer, even sexual seduction was used.

"No, not unless you try it later," he said shamelessly.

"Ha, how can that be?" The little girl was stunned.

"You know it's impossible, but why don't you come down quickly? My uncle and others are going to deliver something." Qin Dahe said with a smile.

"Oh, why didn't you say so earlier?"

The little girl came down angrily. What a brother! He just liked to tease her.

The two held hands and walked to where the tricycle was parked. Qin Dahe knew that there was no rush over there, so they bought a lot of snacks along the way.

"Yan'er, buy me some walnuts. We've run out of the ones at home."

"Oh, I'll weigh a pound for you so you can eat it sparingly." The little girl wrinkled her nose. Walnuts are so expensive.

But she and her brother both like to eat this, so they weigh a little more at a time.

She thought to herself that she would let her brother take care of the family in the future, and she would use her salary to buy food and take care of snacks for the two of them.

I bought some walnuts and she was still humming.

It’s so expensive. A month’s salary is only enough to buy a dozen kilograms.

"Are you worried about the money?" Qin Dahe chuckled as he looked at the little girl.

"I don't feel bad, I'm buying food for you." The girl immediately jumped into his arms. "From now on, all my money will be used to buy food for you, but can you give me some food?"

"Okay, let's eat together."

"Ah."

She was happy again. She could just use her salary to buy food for her brother, and her father was still making money.

If you have no money, just ask your dad and he will definitely give it to you.

The little girl was simple-minded. She thought that the prince was the most important person and must eat better.

Qin Dahe naturally didn't know what she was thinking, but the girl really touched him today. He walked slowly with her hand in hand and felt that Yanyan must be very suitable for him.

It doesn't matter if I treat him badly after marriage, since he has been hooked by a black carp now.

When they arrived at the car, their uncle and his family had not arrived yet, so the two of them went to sit in the car and chat.

They talked about their childhood, school life, and how they would live after getting married.

Yanyan immediately transformed into a man with a hundred thousand questions and kept asking him some strange questions.

"Brother, will it hurt if you hit me after we get married?"

"Why would I hit you? I slapped myself twice when I made a mistake."

"Oh." She smiled happily again, looked around, and kissed her brother on the cheek.

"If I spend money recklessly, will you give me money?"

"Here, if I have 10,000 yuan at home, I'll give you 10,000 yuan, and then I'll give you some money I can borrow from you." He said jokingly.

Usury is a form of private loan sharking. If you have a good reputation, anyone can lend you money.

"There aren't that many. I'm just asking."

"Anyway, if you spend money, I'll give it to you."

After slapping him again, Qin Dahe felt that this girl was provoking him.

"Brother."

"Ah."

"When you have a baby in the future, you must buy me some snacks, okay?"

"Okay, you two can eat, and I'll just eat the northwest wind."

"You eat too. You eat the most."
