Xia Ran finally went into a clothing store with decent prices and bought her a set of clothes based on the local dressing habits for her to change into.

Of course there are also cheap things, but these things are usually placed near intersections and alley entrances and are sold specifically to ordinary people.

It's like a cloth seller, with cloth of all colors and patterns hung on long poles and filling up the entire street. There's an endless stream of people picking and choosing the cloth and bargaining.

Xia Ran also picked out two pieces of thick and cheap cloth, planning to use them to pad carpets. She had decided to sell her wool carpets on Jiujiang Road or Huanghe Road. The things on these two streets are the most expensive and high-end, and they are also the most prosperous, with high-quality and wealthy customer groups.

I also asked around and bought a piece of plastic sheet to put on the bottom layer to prevent moisture.

By the way, she learned Shanghainese from others. She learned it as quickly as possible. Otherwise, others would know she was from another place as soon as they heard her, and would easily look down on her psychologically.

She also took a stroll through the crowded shanties and found that they were even more crowded and messy than what was shown in TV dramas.

There are so many things. Many people’s kitchens are right at the door of the house. There are so many things piled up that half of the road is blocked. This is still considered good.

In some households, 7.8 or families share one kitchen, which looks messy, dirty, and annoying.

Maybe Xia Ran has the typical mentality of a commoner. She can't survive a day here. She thinks she will go crazy. It is better to live in a bright big yard in the village.

There are people from the lower class everywhere, regardless of region. But the lower class is different from the lower class. As long as they catch up with the trend of the times, the lower class here will eventually become the big demolition households in the future and soar directly to the sky.

I had dinner outside early, then strolled into a bedroom supplies store with reasonable prices, bought a complete set of items, had them delivered to my home, and made the room.

Take out the sheets and quilt covers separately, put them in the water to wash them, and hang them up to dry. You can come back to live here tomorrow.

Just then she remembered the space, and after entering, Xia Ran was shocked. The space had more than doubled since the previous few days, and it was estimated to be at least 300 square meters.

The place that was originally filled with things and supplies now looks particularly sparse and seems so empty. She likes this kind of reward if it can come more often.

He picked out a blue carpet and put it out, and later gave it to Miss Chen Jin.

Xia Ran wiped and tidied the furniture at home again before walking to the next alley with a blanket.

As soon as he knocked on the door, it opened immediately. Chen Jin was relieved to see that Xia Ran was fine: "You are finally here. If you don't come back, I will go out to look for you."

"Don't worry, I told you I won't get lost, I'm safe."

"Put your things down. I'm waiting for you. Let's go out for dinner."

Xia Ran ate early because she was afraid of causing trouble to the other party. She was originally planning to tell the truth, but when she saw Chen Jin waiting for her to eat, her words turned into: "Okay, let's go."

By the way, they found a place to put the rolled-up blanket before leaving together.

Chen Jin was afraid that Xia Ran wouldn't be full or used to the food, so she found a restaurant with Northwestern cuisine and the two of them had another meal there. Naturally, Xia Ran was full.

After coming back in the evening, Xia Ran gave the carpet to Miss Chen Jin and asked her to use it at the head of the bed so that she could walk on it barefoot.

"I thought you bought this for yourself, why did you give it to me? It's so expensive."

"What I said at the station were all lies. It was not convenient to tell the truth at that time. I came here to help a small factory in my hometown sell carpets. These carpets are my family's property. If I don't sell these goods, the factory over there will go bankrupt. By the way, I want to see if there is any business to do here?"

Xia Ran explained and said sorry, saying that she did not mean to deceive the other party.

Chen Jin understood and said, "It's okay. It's never too careful when you go out. But this thing is still too expensive. You should keep it and sell it. It's better if you can get some."

Suddenly I thought of the woman with a strange expression on the train, and couldn't help asking: "The lady in the same compartment with us seemed to be very afraid of you. Why? Can you tell me?"

"I protected her, but she sold me out directly under the threat of the criminals."

Chen Jin:……

"I picked this especially for you. I thought this color would go well with your house. I don't mind this one. You can pick me up and take me home even though we are not familiar with each other. It will be meaningless to continue to be polite."

After hearing this, Chen Jin was no longer polite. Since they had already recognized each other as friends, there was still a long time to go, so they could take it slow.

I wiped the floor next to the bed and laid it down. It really suits the scene very well, making the whole bedroom look more upscale and bourgeois.

"Have you decided where to sell it? How much do you plan to sell it for?"

"I plan to get the piece of land on Jiujiang Road and set up a stall to try it out. I don't know how much I should sell it for. But a short-sleeved shirt or a wool sweater on that street sells for more than 1000 yuan. After all, my wool carpet is a handmade one.

The materials used are more than theirs, and the process is more complicated. These goods were originally exported through Xijiang, but recently the merchants have been suppressing the price too much, so I thought of coming here to have a look. I should at least ask for a higher price.”

"No problem. You can sell all the items of this size for more than 1000. If there are not many people who want them, you can raise the price. This place is very strange. The more expensive the items, the more popular they are and the more they are snapped up. If they are cheap, people will think the items are not good and not high-quality enough."

Xia Ran was surprised for a moment, but she didn't show it on her face. She responded, "Okay, I'll try it tomorrow. This carpet is almost as good as a new one after being cleaned for thirty or forty years. It's very durable. It's better to buy it than a half-sleeve one."

Afterwards, Xia Ran asked Chen Jin to teach her how to speak Shanghainese. After more than an hour of teaching, Xia Ran was able to learn it 1% to 7% like the original.

There is no problem with communication, but the words sound stiff when they come out of Xia Ran's mouth. It may be caused by rote memorization, or too little practice, so they are too stiff.

"Xia Ran, do you have any surprises that I don't know about? You are so amazing. Are you sure you haven't been here before?"

"Of course I do. I have a good memory. If my family hadn't been so poor and preferred boys over girls when I was little, I might have been able to go to university."

"Is it too late for you to read now?"

"Not for now. I have to work hard to make money and become a rich man first, then consider whether to be a student. At that time, at least I can be a rich student instead of a poor student. Make a living first, then seek development."

"That seems to make sense. When selling, try to stick to foreign goods and foreign trade. People are used to paying high prices for foreign things."
