I didn't sleep well on the train last night. I can only sleep well at home.
She slept until five o'clock in the afternoon, and when she woke up, she saw the little cute baby sitting next to her, fanning her.
Lin Mai felt sorry for her: "Mom is not hot, so don't fan her."
The little guy is a heart patient and is still recovering. Exertion will affect his recovery.
Doudou said very seriously: "Mom is sweating profusely, how can it not be hot?"
There is no electric fan at home, and on a hot day, no one can sleep without sweating profusely.
Lin Mai took a warm bath and, as a passerby, hurriedly wrote a short essay about Fangfang's uncle Dou Yong's bad behavior of seeking power for personal gain.
In the article, she emphasized that although it is wrong to operate without a license, catching small vendors operating without a license and extorting money will really ruin the image of the law enforcement brigade.
She has written so seriously that I don’t believe that Dou Yong still has good things to gain.
Let the mother and daughter no longer have the capital to be domineering.
After I finished writing the essay, I put it in an envelope.
After going downstairs for dinner, Lin Mai took Li Mingcheng and Ah Huang and set off from the back door on a tricycle to set up a stall on Jianghan Street. They found a mailbox and dropped the essay in.
Jianghan Street was not only very prosperous a few decades later, it was also very prosperous in this era. The facades along the street were brightly lit, and they were all private boutique fashion stores.
It's said to be a boutique fashion store, but the only items sold there are clothes imported from Guangzhou.
In this era, in the eyes of Jiangcheng people, all fashions from Guangzhou are high-end goods.
Just like the fashions from Hanzheng Street are shipped to small cities and county towns, it is the same reason why they are also regarded as high-end goods.
Lin Mai had not been in the city for long and was busy with business every day. He rarely went shopping at night because he thought no one would set up a stall on Jianghan Road.
When I got there, I discovered that there were many people setting up stalls on Jianghan Road and it was very lively.
Everything from food and clothing is sold, especially those selling snacks are the most active.
Although there are many people setting up stalls, there are also many empty spots. After all, in this era, only those who dare to set up stalls are bold and bold.
But how many are so bold?
The good spot had already been taken by someone else, so Lin Mai chose a relatively good vacant spot to set up his stall.
Before the stall was set up, a gangster leader came over with a few gangsters and gently tapped the front of Linmai's tricycle with the iron rod in his hand: "New here?"
"Yeah!" Lin Mai looked up at them and spread his clothes on the tricycle.
"You have to pay stall fees when you come to set up a stall with us."
Li Mingcheng grew up in the countryside, so he didn't know the dangers of the city, let alone gangsters.
Suddenly he got angry: "Who are you? Why should I pay you the stall fee?"
Ah Huang is also eager to try.
The gangster leader's face suddenly turned ugly: "If you don't pay the stall fee, get out of here!"
Li Mingcheng's bad temper suddenly came to him: "We won't get out! What can you do?"
The gangster leader waved his hand: "This guy doesn't know the rules, let's make him understand."
Lin Mai took a bad look, this was the beginning of a fight.
He hurriedly stopped Li Mingcheng and apologized to those gangsters: "My brother just came from the countryside and doesn't understand anything. Don't worry about it."
Those gangsters didn't intend to fight, their main purpose was to collect stall fees.
The gangster leader accepted the offer and said, "For your sake, let's just forget about it and pay the stall fee."
Lin Mai asked: "I will sell it for one day, how much will I pay?"
The leader of the thugs plucked the goods on her tricycle and said, "Since we don't set up stalls every day, we collect them on a per-service basis.
As long as you come here to set up a stall once, we will charge you a stall fee.
When selling clothing, the stall fee is relatively expensive, and you have to pay a stall fee of ten yuan at a time."
In this era, society has just undergone transformation.
In the past, people all wore the same clothes, but now they are suddenly asked to wear bright clothes. Who doesn’t want to show off their beauty?
Therefore, the clothing business is a fighter among profiteering businesses, and the small gangsters collect more protection fees.
Although the protection fee of ten yuan was very expensive, Lin Mai could afford it.
It's okay to ask her to pay protection money, but she can't pay it in vain.
She rubbed her hands, nodded and bowed and asked, "If I pay the ten yuan stall fee, you will protect me from doing business safely here?"
She didn't want to be like selling poultry on May Day, paying protection fees and almost being cheated by another gang of gangsters.
So the stall fee can be paid, but she must be protected.
The gangster leader nodded: "Of course, if someone makes trouble, just tell Brother Feng's name and they will leave."
Brother Feng? This is also Chen Feng’s territory?
Lin Mai smiled sarcastically: "What if that group of people is from another gang and not only refuses to leave, but also steals my goods?"
The gangster leader patted his chest and promised: "Then tell us and we will help you get the goods back."
Lin Mai asked cautiously: "If that happens, where can I find you?"
"As long as it doesn't wind or rain, we will come here every night for a walk. Then you can tell us."
After asking everything clearly, Lin Mai paid the protection fee.
Although the handover was pleasant, the treatment was shabby.
He deliberately took out all the dimes he had on him and collected ten yuan and gave it to the gangster leader.
Those gangsters were very satisfied with her when they saw that she was honest and kind. Before leaving, they didn't forget to tell her to come to them if she had any difficulties. Lin Mai almost had hallucinations, thinking that they were decent people.
The business on Jianghan Road was good. I originally planned to sell clothes for one more day, but they were sold out before nine o'clock that night.
After selling out the clothes, Lin Mai bought a fake Shanghai brand watch and a fake gold ring for five yuan from the stall next door.
Li Mingcheng asked in confusion: "Why did you buy these fake gadgets?"
It’s not like she doesn’t have a real watch or real gold jewelry.
Lin Mai wrote lightly: "It's cheap and fun to buy."
Li Mingcheng couldn't understand it even more. Five yuan is still cheap! You can even pull a piece of fabric to make a dress in the mall.
But Lin Mai earned the money herself, he was just a spectator and had no right to control her spending money.
Setting up a stall on Jianghan Road, with Chen Feng's subordinates watching over the stall, there wasn't much danger.
But the way home is full of dangers, and my little brother will not escort them home.
It would be terrible if a few robbers jumped out on the road. Those extremely vicious guys would kill to steal money.
After packing up his things, Li Mingcheng took Lin Mai and Ah Huang, rode the tricycle very fast, and rode back to the backyard in one breath.
Although there was no danger, I still have lingering fears.
This kind of experience of licking blood with the tip of a knife will have to happen a few more times.
Originally, he had decided to go to Guangzhou to buy goods the day after tomorrow, but Lin Mai decided to leave for Guangzhou tomorrow.
She told Zhou Caiyun and Li Mingcheng about this plan, but both of them expressed strong opposition.
Zhou Caiyun said: "It's not safe for you to go out alone. Let's wait until Professor Fang comes back."
Lin Mai snorted: "It sounds like he can accompany me to Guangzhou when he comes back. That's it."
Seeing that he couldn't stop her, Zhou Caiyun asked: "When will we leave tomorrow?"
Lin Mai thought for a moment: "In the afternoon."
Li Mingcheng asked: "Why not choose tomorrow morning? Isn't it safer to leave during the day?"
Lin Mai waved his hand: "You don't understand, the security here in Jiangcheng is better, but the security over there in Guangzhou is very chaotic.
I set off in the afternoon and arrived in Guangzhou at 8 or 9 a.m. the next day, which was safer."
The first time I went to Guangzhou was at night, which was quite shocking.
"Besides, I want to have a good rest at home during the day tomorrow to recharge my batteries."
Zhou Caiyun was silent for a moment and asked: "How much principal do you plan to bring with you this time?"
"The net profit from this shipment is about three thousand, plus the principal from last time, I will take it all with me."
The more principal you have, the more goods you can get and the more you can earn.
With goods worth six thousand yuan, you can easily earn six thousand yuan.
Coupled with the deposit paid to the landlord and my own savings, I can buy the house for almost 10,000 yuan.
Only by buying the house early can she feel at ease.
Zhou Caiyun was stunned for a long time and only said: "You must take the money well."
