Qiao Lian had been living in Lugou Village for twenty years and had witnessed the diligent and hardworking farming character of more than twenty families in Lugou Village. The half-blind woman told him that in the big city, such people were called good citizens. They were also the servility that was easily satisfied in the bones of the common people left behind by the thousands of years of feudal rule in China.
The fifteen-year-old Qiao Liansheng didn't understand. What was not easy to satisfy? How could he not be a slave? The half-blind woman was knitting a sweater. She stopped what she was doing and smiled. She patted Qiao Liansheng's head lovingly and said," Er Mao Zi, is the palm-sized sky enough for a bird to fly?”
"Not enough." Qiao Liansheng shook his head, not quite understanding. He had caught birds before, but a sparrow in his hand was difficult to even move, let alone fly.
"What about feeding it? Do you think it still wants to fly out?" The half-blind woman stared at him with her wide black eye, bright and shining.
Qiao Liansheng frowned and thought about it carefully for a while. In the end, he shook his head." I don't know, but birds aren't pigs. They wouldn't sleep after eating, right?”
The half-blind woman chuckled and looked in the direction of Dog Bone Mountain. She said sadly,"Er Mao Zi, there are many birds in this world. Most of them are willing to stay in the sky like pigs and sleep after eating their fill. There are also birds that want to fly out when they are not full, but there are very few birds that can fly out to pick up food to fill their stomachs or even store food. Er Mao Zi, if we want to do it, we have to be birds that can collect food and store food, understand?”
Qiao Liansheng had always seemed to understand these words. Now that he had returned to the flower shop with the two books and squatted down in the flower shop to seriously read the two books, Qiao Liansheng finally understood.
The key to success in Business Classic was: He had a heart that could spread its wings and soar, a pair of hands and legs that did not want to rest, a mouth that was willing to condescend, and a face that could change its expression in an instant.
Seeing this, Qiao Liansheng finally understood what the half-blind man was saying. He wanted him to be someone who was unwilling to face the dirt and climb up step by step.
Perhaps it was because the general principles in " Business Classic " did not go against the half-blind woman's teachings, Qiao Liansheng developed a strong interest in this book. She flipped through it day and night and even specially asked Zhang Yong for a notebook to take notes.
Zhang Xianyong wasn't a generous person either. Like his mother, he didn't want to suffer any losses. He wanted Qiao Lian to give birth to a lily for a notebook. Qiao Liansheng had thought that he was just playing around, but who knew that the next day, he would come back and report that he had used that lily as a price to exchange for a girl's first kiss in class.
"It's dry and tasteless. What a loss!”Zhang Xianyong wiped his lips and revealed an angry expression.
Qiao Liansheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This little brat's ability really couldn't be underestimated. He wanted to exchange a woman's first kiss for a lily. Even a ten-year-old kid had kissed a woman's mouth before. Qiao Liansheng suddenly felt like a failure. Thinking of the owner of that set of numbers that he had already memorized by heart, he imagined what it would feel like to kiss that mouth. Would it be dry and tasteless?
"Brother Qiao." Zhang Xianyong had one hand on his waist as he raised his head towards Qiao Liansheng. He looked like a mischievous child, and it was very comical.
"Hurry up and say it!" Qiao Lian was annoyed that he had interrupted her mood of studying business and frowned impatiently. It was really ridiculous to discuss women's matters with a little brat.
"Do you still want the notebook? I still have a lot over there." Zhang Xianyong didn't mind Qiao Liansheng's unfriendly tone and continued to raise his head, seducing her in a devilish manner.
"Free?"
"That won't do!" Zhang Xianyong shook his head like a wavy drum." We agreed to exchange a notebook for a lily. We can't break the rules. My mother said that we can't do a losing business.”
"Didn't you say that it's dry and tasteless? You still want more?" Qiao Liansheng closed the book and looked at him in confusion. This little rascal had never seen through him, and he didn't even know what was in his little head.
"You don't understand!" Zhang Xianyong pursed his lips." It's tasteless, but that's a little girl. Mature women probably won't, so I want to give my form teacher another lily.”
“……”
Qiao Liansheng was speechless for a moment. He immediately cursed and waved his hand to chase Zhang Xianyong out. Just as he returned to the table, this bastard ran back and secretly touched a lily. Then, he quickly threw a notebook on the ground and turned to run into the restaurant opposite.
Helplessly picking up the notebook, Qiao Liansheng began to fantasize about the taste of Ye Qingxuan's red lips. Perhaps, it was really as that little bastard Zhang Yong had said, kissing this mature woman who had become a form teacher would be a soul-stirring thing.
After reading the two books and taking notes, Qiao Liansheng spent a total of five days. At this moment, Qiao Liansheng, who had read both books, finally understood how ignorant she had been in the past. If she wanted to fly before even growing a few hairs, then it would not be as simple as having her wings broken. It would be a blessing if she did not die.
Now, Qiao Liansheng finally knew that if he wanted to open a good shop, he had to first set up a consumer group, then do market research. According to the results of the research, he would calculate the feasibility and come up with the best operating model. After knowing this professional process, Qiao Liansheng finally felt that the ten yuan was definitely worth it.
Qiao Liansheng began to spend days and nights in the south of Liuliqiao, even going to Xinfadi and Jade Spring Camp, all to investigate the flower market.
Qiao Liansheng focused on young men and women, especially those who were in love. After running for five to six days, Qiao Liansheng realized that the majority of people in this area were young men and women. There were also quite a few pairs holding hands, and they could be seen everywhere at night. The most common flowers that women held in their hands were roses, lilies, and tulips.
At this point, Qiao Liansheng had an idea. For three days straight, she did not buy any more lilies from Chen Jiude and cleaned out all the lilies in the shop.
On the fourth day, Qiao Liansheng went to Chen Jiude's flower wholesale shop with half of the money on him. He had bought a portion of red roses, white lilies, purple, red, and white tulips. He called a truck and brought them back to the flower shop at Liuliqiao.
The flower shop at the end of Liuliqiao South Street had taken on a new look. Word spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. In half a day, all the men, women, and children on the entire street knew about it. A large number of people came to join in the fun, and there were also many people who came to look for something new. Throughout the day, the flower shop was full of people.
Even the lady boss of the opposite restaurant couldn't stand the loneliness. She secretly bought a bright red rose and told everyone when she returned to the restaurant that the young man had sent her a red rose, making her feel embarrassed. When she asked which young man it was, the Lady Boss instantly pulled a long face. Was it your turn to ask about this old lady's matters? His words made her feel suffocated.
Zhang Xianyong stood at the door and shook his head. He cursed Qiao Liansheng for being so disloyal. She didn't even tell him before she entered the roses. Otherwise, she wouldn't have given Ye Qingxuan a lily without getting a kiss.
Qiao Liansheng, who had been a little nervous at the start, now let out a sigh of relief. Business was unexpectedly booming. In an afternoon, the flowers in the shop were sold out. Even the roses and tulips that were coming in tomorrow were half reserved. This made Qiao Liansheng overjoyed.
At night, when she returned to her room and laid on her bed with a wad of small bills to settle the accounts, Qiao Liansheng looked at the numbers she had written down. Like a lottery winner who had won the first prize, she raised her voice and shouted heartlessly out the window. Just as she stopped shouting, a loud thud came from the narrow bathroom, followed by the screams of a monkey that sounded like a pig being slaughtered.
"F * ck your ancestors! I was so scared that my soul came out! The thing that had just bulged had already f * cking shrunk back!”
Ma Houwen rushed out of the bathroom naked, bared his teeth, and waved his fists as he charged at Qiao Liansheng like a mad dog. Under the dim light, she could see that his manly thing was indeed as big as that bastard Zhang Yong's, or even smaller. Needless to say, this dog had never taken a proper shower in the narrow bathroom.
"If I don't react when I see a naked woman, I'll definitely tear you apart!”Ma Houwen, who had been fiercely beating up Qiao Liansheng, who was crouching on the ground with his hands on his head, still spat out a threatening sentence.
After Ma Houwen entered the washroom, Qiao Liansheng still couldn't suppress his excitement and jumped around excitedly. Holding the wad of small notes in his hand, he thought that the day when he could reach the swans flying low was not far away.
As the business became more and more popular, Qiao Lian was no longer as excited as a farmer who had picked up a treasure. Although she didn't have the mood of " idly watching the flowers bloom and wither in front of the court, or looking at the clouds in the sky ", she had a calm attitude.
Qiao Liansheng didn't know that he, a country bumpkin from Lugou Village who had an innocent or ignorant personality, had been quietly changing after entering the big city of Beijing. Whether it was his image or his once stubborn heart, they were slowly merging with the people of the big city.
Now, Qiao Liansheng already had a 70% similar attitude to the one on the street south of Liuliqiao. The remaining 30% that belonged to him was not the country bumpkin aura that remained after staying in Lugou Village for 20 years, but the teachings of the half-blind woman that had long been engraved in his heart. Just like the bone flower carved on the stone tablet on Dog Bone Mountain, it was hard and could not be eroded by the wind, the sun, or the rain.
