Next, Xiao Bai took the honest child to get some soy sauce and vinegar again.Anyway, it's scattered, so you can play less, so as not to waste a few days of walking.Vegetable oil was exempted, and Xiao Bai bought some pork in the vegetable market with a little lard.Go home and boil some lard by yourself, and it is enough to stir-fry vegetables and cook noodles for the past few days.Of course, you have to buy a little salty and salty monosodium glutamate, a little somen noodles, and a little vegetables.This busy work cost more than a dozen yuan, but it solved the big problem of eating in the past few days.At night, the two didn't go out, just watched TV in the house.There are not many TV stations now, and the 14-inch black-and-white TV in Xiao Bai's house can also watch four or five stations.At this time, Jiang Wei was watching the TV series "Journey to the West" intently, and Xiao Bai felt that this guy's saliva was about to stay.This TV series started broadcasting on New Year's Day this year, and now it is a rerun, but some people are still excited to watch it.After watching TV, Xiao Bai found a bamboo mat, and Jiang Wei slept on the floor in the living room.The summer in Star City is very hot, but fortunately, Xiao Bai's house is a north-south transparent house, and when a cool breeze blows in at night, he can barely sleep.Early the next morning.Jiang Wei went to cook two bowls of noodles, and after the two of them had breakfast, they went out."
Brother Xiao, where are we going today?"
Jiang Wei is very curious wherever he goes, the honest child is the first time to come to the big city, and he feels that he can't see enough of everything."
Just follow along, I'll take you to a good place."
Xiao Bai didn't bother to say too much, led Jiang Wei to the bus station, and after the bus arrived, he got on the bus and went straight to Huangni Street."
Wow, there are so many books sold here!"
Huangni Street is connected to Cai Yi Road in the east and Tongyun Street in the west, and there are many alleys in the north-south direction.The entire street is only more than 300 meters long, including the surrounding alleys, but there are many shops, most of which are engaged in book business.From the early 80s to the mid-to-late 90s, it has always been the largest wholesale market for books and periodicals in China, and its influence is very large."
Yes, this is the largest book market in the country.Xiaowei, let's say okay first, you can see it, but you are not allowed to buy martial arts. ”There are various types of books and magazines here, but there are obvious differences with the books in the distribution system of Xinhua Bookstore.Magazines, in particular, are basically dominated by strange and gaudy fashion, which is often referred to as "stall study".Xiao Bai didn't want Jiang Wei to spend money in vain, so he greeted him as soon as he arrived at the intersection of Huangni Street."
Mmmm, I don't buy it just by looking at it" The honest boy is quite obedient, mainly because he is afraid that Xiao Bai will turn his face and beat him.Xiao Bai didn't rush to find someone, so he took Jiang Wei to turn around slowly, and asked the price from time to time.The vast majority of book operators here are mainly wholesale and retail.The two asked several stores, and the books were all 20% off, and the price was not bargained.Maybe it's because they have a strong student atmosphere, and people don't treat them as customers who come to buy goods.Subsequently, Xiao Bai entered the store again and asked the price, and asked the honest child to wait outside the door.But when asked, the biggest discount is only 75% off.Xiao Bai was very helpless, knowing that his face was tender, these booksellers were all human spirits, and it was estimated that it would be in vain to ask again.So he took Jiang Wei through the crowd quickly, and according to the address in his memory, he found a shop in the depths of Huangni Street."
Sister Fang, is my cousin here?"
Xiao Bai walked in and casually glanced at this twenty or thirty square storefront, the surrounding walls were full of all kinds of calendars, and there were stacks of books and magazines in the middle of the room, which seemed very crowded.Then he looked at a woman in her twenties who came up to him, and he grinned and asked.This woman's name is Lin Fang, and she is the girlfriend of her cousin Jiao Yang.My cousin is 26 years old, and this girlfriend has been talking for 5 years, but she is not married yet.In Xiao Bai's opinion, whether the two people are pulling the card or not, it is unlikely that they will be separated."
It's a little cousin, I haven't seen you for almost half a year, right?
Your cousin is sleeping in the back, so I'll call him, "There's a small room at the back of the store, so you can go inside to talk about things when big customers come."
Of course, more time is where Jiao Yang sleeps."
Bai, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.I played cards all night last night, and I was catching up on sleep in the morning.When did you come back?
”After a while, a young man with a small head and a little chubby came out from behind."
Why did I just come back, cousin, this is my classmate Jiang Wei.Xiaowei, I am my cousin Jiao Yang, this is my future cousin-in-law, Lin Fang" Xiao Bai responded with a smile, and then dragged the honest child out from behind him and introduced it to a few people.The honest child was a little shy, and whispered: "Cousin is good, cousin is good!"
”"Haha, little cousin, your classmate is interesting.Sit down, I'll make you tea. ”Lin Fang laughed, turned around and went to the hut in the back.Jiao Yang also immediately said hello to Jiang Wei and sat down on the chair.Xiao Bai was a little uncomfortable when he saw Jiang Wei sitting on the chair with half of his buttocks, and felt that the honest child had never seen anything in the world, so he should exercise.However, he came over today because he wanted to talk to Jiao Yang about something, so he said to Jiang Wei: "Xiaowei, you can read the books and magazines in the house casually, you don't need to accompany us here." ”Jiao Yang glanced at Xiao Bai a little puzzled, and said in his heart, why has his little cousin, who has always been taciturn, changed his temperament a little?
Of course, he won't think much about it, after all, in the past two years, the two of them have been on their own side, and there have been few opportunities for contact, and he just said that his little cousin has grown up."
Cousin, how is business doing now?"
Lin Fang quickly poured a few cups of tea and came out, first bringing a cup to Jiang Wei, who was sitting in the corner reading a book, and then giving it to Xiao Bai and Jiao Yang.Xiao Bai took a sip of tea, and immediately recognized that it was Qimen black tea, although it was not the highest grade, but it was not bad at the moment."
Didn't you see it too, no one came in the morning.As for me, I mainly make wall calendars and New Year paintings, and I usually start to work after the National Day, and I have to be busy until the New Year.The other books and magazines are incidental, and they belong to the grass and rabbits. ”Don't look at Jiao Yang's age, he has actually been doing business in Huangni Street for more than three years.In the past, although Xiao Bai had a good relationship with this cousin, he didn't care much about the other party's business.To be honest, he really didn't know about it.Calculated carefully, Xiao Bai and Jiao Yang are distant cousins.Jiao Yang's mother and Xiao Bai's mother are cousins, and the relationship between them is even more distant.However, the two families are in Star City, and the relationship has always been relatively close, and the relationship between relatives has been completely stabilized."
Cousin, do you remember my aunt?
Her unit is not profitable, she can't pay her salary, and now she has a newsstand.I came back this time, in addition to other things, just to help her see if she could find a suitable purchase channel. ”Although Xiao Bai and Jiao Yang have a good relationship, because their aunt Liang Yuqi has been living in Xintun County, in fact, Jiao Yang and Liang Yuqi are not familiar with each other at all.Jiao Yang knows that Liang Yuqi, a distant cousin, has no connection, but anyway, it depends on the face of the little cousin, right?
It's just that it's really not easy to do.
