The green years of practicing stalls

In the 1990s, at the age of 21, I stepped into society and started my career. After work, inspired by my colleague Xiao Zhou, I joined the "training booth army".

A flexible colleague Xiao Zhou, whose parents are both businessmen, after his guidance, I decided to try to step into the "mall". One day, I accompanied Xiao Zhou to the labor park training stall, through the crowd mixed with the sound of shouting and bargaining, we chose a corner closer to the station platform, and then laid a large plastic sheet on the ground, he removed the backpack on his shoulder, "hurred" to open, revealing our goods - all kinds of women's underwear and underwear!

"Huh?" I exclaimed awkwardly, "We two big bosses sell this?" "I want to confirm with Xiao Zhou again." Oh, yes! Xiao Zhou replied calmly, and then ripped open his throat and began to shout, "Take a walk, take a look, don't miss it when you pass by!" "After he shouted like this, there were really big girls and little daughters-in-law who came to ask for the price, and our stalls were still quite lively."

With a suspicious look, in the gap between selling goods, I talked to Xiao Zhou, "Selling goods has to go in quantity, and what is good to sell is what to sell!" "It turned out that these goods were used by Xiao Zhou to wholesale in the big vegetable market during the break, and he had done a simple market survey before, Xiao Zhou said: As long as the products are good, there should be no gender concerns, and there are also female merchants selling men's underwear in the night market...

Try the bull knife

That night's training stall, I learned a lot of knowledge, for a time, I had a variety of ideas for the future of my own training stall, and I began to be eager to try. Therefore, taking advantage of the rest time, I also went to the big vegetable market to wholesale some things, and through the bottom of the market, I chose socks, handkerchiefs, towels, gloves and other small things.

When night fell and the lights first came on, Xiao Zhou and I began our "nightlife". I remember the first night, in order to avoid the embarrassment of meeting acquaintances, I deliberately wore a pair of sunglasses. Xiao Zhou saw me dressed up like this and joked that we were like underground party joints. "What are you afraid of when you eat according to your own ability?"

A series of enlightenments have relieved me of a lot of burdens. The first day of the stall experience was particularly tense, in the process, I was very grateful for Xiao Zhou's company, after closing the stall I invited guests to barbecue, began to repeatedly resign, but I said: "The apprentice asked the master to be divided." "That day we ate and talked, imagining the future together.

The end in a hurry

Later, for some reason, the night market in Labor Park was completely cancelled, and since then, Xiao Zhou and I have also bid farewell to the training days of green onions, and we have disposed of the unsold things at a low price without losing money.

Time flies, and the green silk changes into white hair in the blink of an eye. Although my "business career" has long ended, I still like to visit the night market, and the familiar shouting seems to make me go back to the past, and many familiar scenes are even more touching.

Where has the time gone?

The answer is in your own heart.

Xiao Zhou, are you okay?
