Rebirth: My story with my ex-husband

They did not prepare corn in advance, but bought it directly from the old man. They saw the popcorn maker skillfully making a fire, adding firewood, pulling the bellows, and cranking the handle. There was a muffled sound, and black smoke mixed with a burnt smell dissipated in the air, and the popcorn was out of the oven.

They packed some in their bags and ate some in their hands. They didn't have breakfast, so they bought a few more buns.

Just as we were walking along the road, we heard someone shouting, "Collect chicken feathers, duck feathers, and turtle shells."

All I saw was a brave old man shouting and shaking a drum.

They have never seen this before. Chicken feathers can be exchanged for sugar?

When they heard the shouting, both adults and children ran as fast as they could.

An old man plucked up his courage and really took the chicken feather from the child's hand, and took out a piece of candy from the bamboo basket, which should be brown sugar.

The two were still curious, and an aunt enthusiastically explained the reason to them.

"We call them peddlers. They carry a shoulder pole and two bamboo baskets, and go from street to street asking questions while shaking a drum."

The aunt lowered her voice and said, "But, they only come during the Chinese New Year. They are not very strict at this time. Some people say that this is an act of speculation. You have to be careful when trading."

"Just tell him what you want, and you can exchange it for chicken feathers or five cents, but now some things can also be bartered."

After the aunt finished speaking, she looked around and fished out some rags, and the peddler gave her a few buttons.

The aunt hurriedly put the button into her clothes pocket, covered it with one hand, looked around, and walked away quickly.

Su Xinmi could understand their vigilance. If they were caught, that family would be finished. However, she had already looked carefully. There were indeed a lot of people today, but she didn't see anyone wearing badges. They were all ordinary people.

Jiang Yinqiu was so excited that he asked Su Xinmi if she wanted to try it.

Su Xinmi looked at him and wanted to go forward, then she saw a young peddler coming to the old man, who seemed to be the father of the old peddler.

Just now, when she and Jiang Yinqiu were strolling around, she remembered seeing this person. And this person was clearly selling things there just now, so why was he here now?

The young peddler didn't look shy or uncomfortable at all. Instead, he looked mature and steady. He helped the old peddler exchange things and seemed to be very good at doing business.

Su Xinmi suddenly had an idea in her mind. Now the control over this kind of transaction is not as strict as before.

The peddler is good at doing business. I have so many things in my space, so it is not impossible to do business with him.

When Jiang Yinqiu went up to ask, Su Xinmi quietly took a handful of dust from the space and put it on her face. She was completely dirty and her original facial features could not be seen. She walked to the young peddler and asked in a low voice, "I have other things here. Help me sell them and we will split the money when the time comes."

"Don't look at me like that. I just saw you selling things on that street."

Xue Hao didn't expect this man to be so bold. After hearing this, he looked at Su Xinmi in surprise, then he took a step back.

Su Xinmi thought that he only looked brave, but was actually timid, and was thinking of talking about it later.

The man glanced at her and motioned for her to go talk.

The two came to a corner where some groceries were piled up and no one came here.

Xue Hao said, "Comrade, you are very courageous, and I, Xue Hao, happen to like courageous people. Do you have anything that I can see?"

Su Xinmi was holding a basket in her hand, but she didn't show it to him.

Xue Hao thought they were just some ordinary things. He was not interested in them and pretended to say, "It's okay if you want me to sell them, but I must get the larger share when we divide them. I'll take 60% and you 40%. "

Su Xinmi almost laughed out loud when she heard this. This guy is really a cunning fox and he really has the potential to be a businessman.

Grab a handful of rice and show it to him.

But her Su Xinmi's things are not so easy to get. "I am responsible for providing the goods, but you don't even take a closer look at the quality. Honesty is also required in doing business."

"I didn't even say 50-50, but you've already decided to take the lion's share. If I agree, you'll easily get the lion's share. If I disagree, you'll pretend to be reluctant and split it 50-50 with me. But you'll still earn a lot if it's 50-50."

"The quality of my products is not bad at all. If they are good, we can have long-term cooperation."

"What I like about you is your business skills. Otherwise, I can sell it myself."

Xue Hao didn't expect her to be so perceptive. If it were any other time, his tactics would have worked.

Xue Hao thought about it. His father was not often here. He worked as a peddler a few years ago and only settled down here in recent years.

The boss he follows is involved in the black market business, and he is now also helping with the black market business.

But basically he chooses to do it alone, because all the money he earns will go into his own pocket.

He saw that Su Xinmi was young and had no experience, so he thought that since she could provide him with the supply, he could choose to expand and become stronger on his own.

He has traveled all over the country over the years and has seen a lot. He is also very brave. He was afraid of being poor when he was a child, but now what he likes most is money, and he is determined to make a lot of money.

"Little girl, we have something to talk about. How about we find a place to talk about it later?"

Unexpectedly, when Su Xinmi heard his address, she frowned and said, "Who is a little girl? I am not a little girl. I am almost twenty years old."

In the countryside, at this age, she would almost be the mother of several children.

Xue Hao looked at Su Xinmi with a puzzled expression. He had never seen anyone get angry when someone called her younger.

But he also knew that when a little girl like him called out, his position was elevated.

"It's not convenient to wait, so let's talk about it now. I only have a few goods for now. You can sell them first and give it a try."

Jiang Yinqiu is still here, and Su Xinmi also wants to test whether this person is suitable for long-term cooperation.

Sit down and talk means to discuss in detail. This person is very cunning, so we should be more careful.

Xue Hao didn't expect Su Xinmi to be so impetuous. "Okay, what do you want to bring first?"

"I don't have that much on me right now. I brought it today with me to buy on the black market, but now I've met you."

"Wait a minute. My car is parked over there in the mall. I'll come find you later."

Although she was holding a basket, it didn't look like she had any goods in it.

Jiang Yinqiu had just changed, "Qiuqiu, the state-owned restaurant is in front, go to the restaurant and wait for me, I'll be there soon."

Jiang Yinqiu didn't suspect anything. She was just hungry at the moment and her attention was all on the things she had changed. She didn't notice that there was dust on Su Xinmi's face.

When Su Xinmi found Xue Hao again, the dust on her face was even thicker, and it was even harder to tell who she was.

"These are pork jerky and pork jerky that I made, and chestnuts that I picked up from the mountains. But this is sugar-roasted chestnuts that I processed. They are delicious."

"Rice and flour are not convenient today. I will come to you next time."

In fact, Su Xinmi’s small basket was too full to hold all the items, so she had to sell these first.

Xue Hao looked at the somewhat dry thing and was a little skeptical, "What is this? Is it delicious?"

It doesn't look like anyone would buy it.
