Chapter 11: Opportunities
At the gate of Shengtai Road Primary School, Zhou Baozhu and Liu Fang were surrounded by people, listening to the children's immature voices one after another, "Auntie, I want this pink butterfly hairpin."
"I want this big red plum blossom clip, which my mother likes."
Liu Fang sweated in a hurry and said anxiously, "Don't worry, children. Let's line up first and come one by one. If you don't buy it, I'll make it for you in the evening.
Zhou Baozhu felt that there was no way. After thinking about it, she hurried to ask the doorman for help. The doorman had a loud voice. As soon as he came, he roared, "Fuing up well, or I'll tell your head teacher."
When this voice went down, the messy scene instantly became orderly. Liu Fang hurriedly took time to thank the doorman. The doorman glanced into Liu Fang's money-stackcloth bag, squeezed his lips, and left without saying anything.
Due to the variety and novel hair chuck flowers made by Liu Fang, it was soon bought by children and parents.
And stockings, and there is no left.
Back home, Liu Fang poured the money on the bed and counted it. Unexpectedly, she had 12,800 cents, deducted 22.40 cents, and made more than 90 yuan.
However, at once, I felt that I had made a lot of money. In fact, no matter how carefully I calculated it, I only made a hard money.
It took Liu Fang a week to make this batch of hair, and then deducted the rental fee of the sewing machine. After careful calculation, he earned more than ten yuan a day.
However, Liu Fang's happy hands were still shaking. She counted the change over and over again, then happily held Zhou Baozhu in her arms and said happily, "Let's go, Mom invited Zhuzhu out of the restaurant today and eat meat."
After saving money, Liu Fang immediately bought a floral skirt for her daughter. When Zhou Laoer came back, the family of three went to the roadside to order two stir-fry dishes.
After being in the provincial capital for so long, Liu Fang was completely settled.
Later, Liu Fang sold several more goods, and by mid-November, the couple's savings were almost 1,000.
Small business, but people are suffering a little. Liu Fang gets up early and goes to bed late every day, and people are obviously much thinner.
Recently, Aunt Fang's family has also begun to sell. Her husband is also the doorman of Shengtai Road Primary School. Liu Fang was kicked to the corner by him when she went to sell goods last time, saying that her stall hindered traffic and affected the children's passage to and from school.
This is simply lying with her eyes open, but he just doesn't want Liu Fang to rob Aunt Fang's business.
Liu Fang was not very happy to see that their family was so unreasonable, but she thought that Aunt Fang had indeed helped a little before. In addition, she was a local, so she could only put up her temper for the time being.
Whenever Liu Fang greets Aunt Fang, but Aunt Fang, she looks like a person, with a straight face and looks like she owes her millions.
After more times, Liu Fang didn't bother to talk to her.
As for Shengtai Road Primary School, parents still recognize Liu Fang's clip flower, and also say that the other one is cheap or cheap, but the thread is not cut clean, and the glue is not sticky. It can be dispersed after using it a few times.
It is said that what the family did was not true.
"Come to me. I'll sell it somewhere else tomorrow, and I'll buy some materials the day after tomorrow." The market on Shengtai Road is almost saturated, and Liu Fang also found that there have been more people selling hair clips in the past two days.
Instead of fighting a price war with these people, it's better to try another place.
"Mom, let's go to the university town to sell it." Zhou Baozhu suggested. Although the university town is a little far away and takes three hours of bus back and forth, there are several famous universities over there, among which art schools are also in that area.
Before the crew recruitment report came out, Zhou Baozhu felt a little uneasy. He was afraid that her memory would be messed, so he wanted to go to the art school to have a look.
She still remembers that in her last life, before the audition, the crew went to the art school to select people, and the heroine were art school students.
"The little head melon seed of Zhuzhu is smart. I think of it with my mother." After selling things for more than half a month, Liu Fang is also familiar with the provincial capital. Not to mention where the university town is, which hospital is good, etc., she has figured it clearly.
"Hey hey, Zhuzhu is with her mother, smart!" Zhou Baozhu smiled happily and narrowed into small seams.
Zhou Laoer listened and quickly added, "Smartness must be up to me."
They were also in a good mood. The couple chatted for a long time about who their daughter would follow.
Later, while he was about to go to bed, Zhou Laoer said lingerly, "Fangfang, I want to discuss something with you."
Liu Fang looked at Zhou Laoer and motioned him to continue talking.
"The place where I work, I've been working recently in the appearance management of the city. I built a new vegetable market. I said that if I won't set up a stall on the roadside in the future, I have to go to the big vegetable market to buy vegetables. I heard it, so I just want to rent a few stalls.
"How many stalls? How many are that?"
"Fangfang, the situation is like this now. A stall costs 120 yuan a year, but rents five for 100 yuan a year, and ten is 80 years."
"Can one person rent so many stalls?" Liu Fang wondered.
"You don't know, this is a new policy. Many people are still waiting and see, and many people are reluctant to pay. The most important thing is that there are not many people who know. Well, I just want to take the lead. Moreover, after thinking about it, it is no problem to follow the policy. Let's rent more, buy some eggs and sell by ourselves, and we can also rent it out to earn some price difference. Think about it, if I rent it for 80 years and sublet it for 120 years, I will earn 40 yuan now. Ten stalls, that is, 400 yuan. Most importantly, these stalls are signed ten-year contracts, and the government will not sublet them to others or raise prices within ten years. Zhou Laoer calculated an account for Liu Fang, and the more he calculated, the more cost-effective he felt.
According to the development of the provincial capital, the prices of these stalls will definitely rise in the future.
Liu Fang thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, there are now 985 yuan and 6.6 yuan at home. You take away 800 yuan, and there are still more than 100 left. I still have batches to sell in my hand, and the money is not very tight. When do you want it?"
"Wife, you are so rich. The posture of giving money is fascinating." Zhou Laoer was happy and gased his mouth.
Liu Fang glanced at him angrily and said, "After coming to the city for so long, I can finally see that I am timid to death and hungry. Since you are optimistic about this deal, you can do it well. If you really fail, it's nothing. At worst, I'll pick up junk with my daughter and raise you.
"Fangfang, believe me, this deal is definitely not a loss. The boss I decorated was more heroic. They bought the facade house directly, and there was a row when they bought it. He said that when the facade house got it, he also asked me to decorate it a little. In order to make more money, Zhou Laoer finished decorating every day and looking for work. There were more places to go, and the news was better than ordinary people.
It's like the news of the new vegetable market, and only the nearby residents know from the old farmers who sell vegetables, but the vegetable sellers are still used to setting up stalls on the roadside. After all, it's free of charge.
I heard that the group of people gathered recently and wanted to parade and refuse to charge booth fees from the new vegetable market.
However, Zhou Laoer felt that this good opportunity should be seized quickly.
Of course, most people are still shrewd, but they first grabbed the facade room, and the booth also grabbed the location. Zhou Laoer didn't have money as much as them, so he wanted to follow him for a mouthful of broth, but in this way, it was also a big bet for their family.
If you win the bet, everyone will be very happy. If you lose the bet, you will be busy all year.
Thinking of this, Zhou Laoer gritted his teeth and decided to fight.
The next day, Zhou Laoer took the money to rent a stall, and Liu Fang took her daughter to the university town to sell headdress hair clips.
Speaking of which, the environment in the university town is really good. College students also have money in their hands. If they buy a hair clip, they still want to match their clothes.
Just then, a blonde foreigner came out of college, and Zhou Baozhu talked up in English to promote his head and clips.
The foreigner is a beautiful woman with fair skin and tall figure. With a pair of high heels, she looks more and more prominent.
Zhou Baozhu talked to her in English, which not only shocked Liu Fang and the people around her, but also showed shock.
Probably Zhou Baozhu is cute, or she speaks English, which makes her feel very kind. In a word, the beautiful woman not only bought a hair clip, but also tip. When she left, she also gave a thumbs up at Zhou Baozhu and praised her as a great girl.
Speaking of which, people in this era were a little worshipped and curious about foreigners. When the onlookers saw that foreigners also liked the boss's hairpin, they immediately cheered and ran over to buy it.
"The little sister is so awesome that she can speak English. The foreign teacher of our university just now, an American, is Alisa. Some students recognized the teacher and said kindly.
"Sister, I can still speak a little French." Zhou Baozhu was not timid and stood there and sang a French nursery rhyme.
Three or four-year-olds are the cutest age. If you twist and move, you can capture the hearts of a group of adults. What's more, Zhou Baozhu is white and tender. Today, she wears a pink and fluffy skirt, tied two small braids, and wore a headband of panda ears. He stood in the crowd and sang French nursery rhymes in a soft and cute voice, which was really cute.
"Mr Fang, I think this little girl is very cute and very suitable for playing Lily when she was a child." David, a foreign screenwriter of The Overseas Family, said so.
Director Fang looked at the children in the crowd. She was really cute, and there was no big problem with the pronunciation of French. Occasionally inaccuracies, it was also in line with her age of three or four.
It's just that Lily grew up in the United States. His facial expressions and body movements are very westernized, such as shrugging her shoulders and spreading his hands.
Therefore, Director Fang still tends to find Chinese children who grew up in the United States to play Lily.
"Mr, acting skills can be exercised, and there are not many children who can speak French and English." David kindly reminded again.
"The child can speak English?" Director Fang was really surprised that a small vendor could teach such a child?
Director Fang is a little unbelievable.
"Of course, she just sold something to Alisa. You also know that Alisa, who has just come to China, doesn't understand Chinese at all. What she can talk to is definitely the language she can understand. David shrugged his shoulders and spread his hand, saying so.
Director Fang thought about it and gave the assistant a look. Anyway, give the child's contact information first.
After singing the French song, Zhou Baozhu sang an English nursery rhyme "london bridge", with exaggerated and lovely little movements, which made the serious director Fang smile.
After thinking about it, Director Fang decided to go there in person to ask for contact information.

Chapter 12 Annoyance
While selling hair clips, Liu Fang watched her daughter jumping and singing foreign songs, and the smile on her face did not stop.
Her pearls, since they came to the provincial capital, have really become more and more cheerful.
When Zhou Baozhu finished singing "london Bridge", Director Fang slapped his hands and praised it and asked, "Sister, your daughter is really awesome. She can speak foreign languages at a young age. Did you teach it?"
If it weren't for the origin of home learning, would it be really a little genius?
"I'm a countryman. How can I know a foreign language? It's from the house I rented. Some teachers are kind-hearted and give us free classes. The child went to listened to several classes and learned it from the teacher. The child seems to have some talent in language. The teacher said it again, and she can remember all of them. Liu Fang couldn't help praising her daughter's intelligence.
Director Fang listened and deliberately said a lily line in English and smiled, "Little girl, if you can repeat it one sentence, I will buy your mother's clip." Anyway, the crew just lacks such accessories.
Zhou Baozhu glanced at Director Fang and tilted his head and said, "Then let's pull the hook. It's the puppy who coaxed people."
Director Fang squatted down and pulled the hook with Zhou Baozhu and pressed the seal.
"i don't like..." Zhou Baozhu not only repeated everything, but also paused according to what he said. Her voice also fluctuated, showing the lively and soft and cute personality of the characters vividly.
Even if you don't act as an actor, it's okay to voice Lily.
Director Fang was a little satisfied and said to Liu Fang, "Sister, I have a TV series about to start shooting. If you are free, take your daughter to Zijin Building to audition this Sunday." With that, he took out a business card for Liu Fang.
Liu Fang was directly confused and blurted out: "What TV series, you should not be a liar, are you?"
Director Fang smiled and left without reply. His assistant rounded Liu Fang's goods and hurried away.
As soon as he left, the student just now immediately explained, "Sister, the famous director Fang Wen'an just now is not a liar."
"Woo-hoo, I'm so envious. My little sister has a chance to audition. I haven't even found a routine."
The students talked with their mouths. Liu Fang was completely stunned with the money.
What? How dare you come to her pearl to film? Is it the one on TV?
Oh, my God, she didn't hear it wrong, did she?
Is she going to be a little star?
Liu Fang was completely stunned, and Zhou Baozhu was glad. Unexpectedly, she met Director Fang on the first day of coming to the university town and got the opportunity to audition.
Until she came home at night, Liu Fang didn't calm down. Later, she said to talk to Zhou Laoer, and Zhou Laoer was also stunned.
The two pulled their daughter in front of them and looked carefully, and finally came to the conclusion, "It's not wrong. Her pearls are so beautiful that it's normal for the director to be liked."
The couple were foolish and happy all night, and the next morning they looked at each other with a smile.
Because her daughter was going to audition, Liu Fang postponed her plan to buy materials. Fortunately, there was a batch of headwear made before. She went to the university town twice and soon sold out.
Obviously, the news that Zhou Baozhu is going to audition has spread well. Many college students deliberately came to see the future little stars. Of course, they all came. When they saw the beautiful hair clip, how could they resist buying them?
However, three days of good mood was completely destroyed at night. Aunt Fang didn't know what was crazy. She took a pile of hair clips and said angrily, "Liu Fang, I heard that you are good at everything and sells fast. In this way, you can also sell these hairpins for me."
Liu Fang frowned and said puzzledly, "Who am my aunt?" Who am I my aunt? Why do you ask me so? What can I do for you?"
Inexplicably, you are so rude as soon as you come up? Why?
Aunt Fang listened and said dissatisfiedly, "Liu Fang, you have to be conscientious. You just came to the provincial capital at the beginning, but I did you to do it. Aren't you willing to help with such a small favor now?"
Things have not gone well since Aunt Fang listened to her man's words and sold hair clips.
First of all, there were two mistakes in her work. If she hadn't worked for a long time, she would have been afraid of being kicked out, but although she had not been kicked out, she would still be fined ten yuan.
After selling hair clips, it didn't sell well. Either her style was not good, or that the workmanship was not good. In the end, it was sold cheaply. After calculation, the money she made was not enough to fine.
Today, the director of the factory came to her again, saying that someone reported that she had secretly done private work during working hours, stole materials from the factory, and said that she would be fired. She refused to leave, and said that stealing factory materials was a theft and reported it to the police. She had to go to prison.
She took some good materials to make hairpins, but there was nothing she could do. There were a lot of scraps in the factory, and she could also take them, but it was too troublesome to make hair clips and head flowers. It was time-saving without the whole material.
She works in the factory during the day and goes home at night to make hair clips. If she slowly puts together with scattered ingredients, she can't sleep and rest.
Although Aunt Fang felt that the factory was making a fuss, she didn't dare to say everything in her heart. She could only cry and plead and swear that she would never do private work again. As for using good materials from the factory, she also lost money.
In this way, she worked so hard for so long that she not only didn't make money, but also had to stick it upside down.
Looking at a lot of flowers at home, Aunt Fang asked the men in the family to sell dog things. In order to save face, she didn't agree. My son has time, but he refuses to sell women's things. The only daughter is studying again and said that she would audition for a Sino-foreign joint venture TV series. Recently, she has been busy preparing and has no time to talk to her.
Aunt Fang really had no choice but to think of Liu Fang. But I thought again that if Liu Fang hadn't been tossed around and sold things, she wouldn't have followed the trend. If she hadn't followed the trend, she wouldn't have produced so many moths.
Therefore, on the way, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became.
In addition, she felt that Liu Fang was a countryman. She had helped her before, but now she still deserves her personal feelings.
Therefore, she was asking for others, but she pretended to beg for her.
Liu Fang is not 155, so naturally she ignored her. Besides, the job was provided to her by the factory, and Aunt Fang just checked out the goods.
And their help, she and Lai Gui immediately returned it.
If you talk about human feelings, there is also some, but if you say kindness, you have to do things blackmail. Ha ha, there is no need to talk about human feelings.
Liu Fang wanted to see off the guests directly. How could Aunt Fang leave? The sale of this batch of goods can make up for the losses in her family. If she doesn't look for Liu Fang, who can she look for?
"Liu Fang, you are too cruel. You can use people. Your aunt is short, just like a pug. It doesn't need it now. Don't even drool? I was really blind. I thought you were poor and kind to help you. Now I finally see that kindness is not rewarded. Aunt Fang deliberately pulled her voice and met someone passing by. She also pulled others to reason, and nothing was made up by her.
In words, he was kind and pitiful, while Liu Fang became a white-eyed wolf.
Naturally, the locals helped the locals. After listening to Aunt Fang's words, they all came to accuse Liu Fang of ruthlessness. Some people said, "I just hate outsiders. They are dirty one by one. Next time I tell Anna, don't rent the house to such people. It's simply bad to the atmosphere here."
Liu Fang trembled angrily, but she was alone and had a group of people. What's more, the people in it often had to rely on Aunt Fang to make some money, so it was even less likely to offend her for outsiders.
At this moment, Liu Fang really couldn't explain it clearly, or Zhou Baozhu asked doubtfully, "Mom, is she Grandma Fang?" I know that she approves the things in the factory to everyone and then earns the difference.
Liu Fang didn't understand. Zhou Baozhu said again, "I heard that the factory gave everyone a dime to cut the thread of a catty of doll clothes, but didn't my mother get it? Zhuzhu can count, and Grandma Fang earned 2 points.
As soon as Zhou Baozhu's words fell, everyone immediately closed their mouths and turned their eyes to Aunt Fang.
Aunt Fang stared at Zhou Baozhu fiercely and said fiercely, "Little boy, what are you talking about?" There is nothing."
Zhou Baozhu was frightened by her eyes and immediately cried, "Mom, Mom, Grandma Fang has become a wolf grandmother, and her eyes are going to eat me, woo-hoo..."
It's nothing for adults to quarrel, but they scared an ignorant child to tears. Others are somewhat invisible. In addition, Aunt Fang is suspected of making everyone's hard-earned money, so no one spoke for her.
Aunt Fang failed and fell angrily when she came home. Her two sons listened and said angrily, "Mom, you are really useless. Isn't it easy for a foreigner from the countryside to clean up her up? Wait, your son will take revenge on you tomorrow.
"Revenge your mother and don't do business all day long. What's the matter? Do you still want to be a second-rate son all your life?" Aunt Fang was uneasy. She did make a price difference. I thought no one knew, but she didn't expect that even a child from the countryside heard about it.
Thinking about the recent time that someone in the factory has complained about her, she frowned and passed the people in the factory to find out the complainant.
She wanted to see which dog was plotted on her behind her back.
Because with more hateful people, what happened on Liu Fang's side was nothing.
On the other hand, Liu Fang also asked curiously, "Zhuzhu, which one do you hear?"
Of course, I didn't hear it. It's just what Zhou Baozhu said casually. This kind of bargaining thing is too common, and even in later generations, it is common.
As for the price, Zhou Baozhu calculated according to the money Liu Fang got.
What Zhou Baozhu didn't expect was that she was really accurate. In contrast, Zhou Baozhu can only sigh that Zhang Ze really didn't coax her. The many things he said were all true.
Yes, as an otaku translator, Zhou Baozhu naturally doesn't understand what's in the factory, but Zhang Ze grew up in the factory and knows everything in the factory. In his last life, he liked to pester her about something. Unexpectedly, he still used it in his life.
