After Transmigrating into a Book, I Have an Entire Family of Cannon Fodder - CH 21

Almost everyone in the company knew that the original owner had a college education background.

When he was young, he was spoiled too much and only cared about playing around every day. His results during the college entrance examination were not good, so Qi Xingchen’s father wanted to send him abroad. He was in a rebellious phase, so he rejected his family’s good intentions and stubbornly went to college.

But who said that college students would definitely not do well in their studies? Qi Xingchen was a little uncomfortable when he heard that. He ignored Zhou Yu and looked at Xiao Tie’s question.

Then he took the pen and paper. “Xiao Tie, your way of thinking is off track. This function … ”

Everyone had a thirst for knowledge. When the assistant saw Xiao Tie’s homework, he was especially curious about how to solve it. Now that he saw that Qi Xingchen’s logic was clear, he could not help but be attracted to him.

The cameraman rarely saw the scene of a celebrity doing homework, so he also stretched his neck to look in. When he finished explaining a question, Qi Xingchen wrote two strokes on the paper. “So the answer is … Why are you all looking at me?”

“Wow, Xing Xing, you still remember the questions from junior high?” The assistant was curious.

“Isn’t this the most basic function?” Qi Xingchen said. “If I forget, how do I learn advanced mathematics?”

“Advanced mathematics?!! Mathematics?!! ”

When he heard the word advanced mathematics, it was as if the assistant’s tail had been stepped on. He jumped three feet high. “Xing Xing, you can even learn advanced mathematics?!!”

Qi Xingchen was speechless.

He was currently studying at one of the top ten universities in the country. What was so difficult about advanced mathematics?

However, in order to not destroy the original owner’s “specialist” persona, Qi Xingchen did not reply. After repeating the steps to solve the problem to Xiao Tie, he asked, “The answer to this question is not important. What’s important is the way to solve it. Have you memorized the way to solve it?”

Xiao Tie scratched his head. “Brother Xing Xing, I still have to think about it.”

Qi Xingchen nodded. Inherent logic was not something that could be corrected immediately.

“Then, Brother Xing Xing,” Xiao Tie said carefully, “If there’s something I don’t know, can I still ask you?”

“Sure, I live in the Zeng family’s house. You can look for me anytime.”

“Then … if my classmate doesn’t know, can he also ask you?”

How many children could there be in a village? Qi Xingchen waved his hand nonchalantly. “Come on!”

After finishing Xiao Tie’s homework, the flow of customers in the market gradually increased. Everyone got down to business and began to help Old Tie sell his goods.

Unlike the shopping malls in the city, the market in Ox Town was open-air. The long cross-shaped street was filled with stalls selling all kinds of goods from the beginning to the end. There was everything, from rope snacks to mechanical farming tools.

The market was opened once a week. Many small merchants who made a living by selling goods were waiting for this day to earn enough money for their families to survive. They were already shouting their wares with all their might.

The seven guests had never sold anything before. For a moment, they did not know what to do, so they imitated the uncle selling melons next to them.

However, after shouting for a while, some customers saw that so many people were selling fresh goods, so they gave him face and bought a few. After that, there were no more sales.

Qi Xingchen thought for a while and felt that they could not go on like this. The mission would definitely fail. He stuffed the iron ladle in his hand to Zhang Yunfei. “Brother Yunfei, hold on for a while. I’ll go take a look.”

“You’re not familiar with this place. Don’t go by yourself.” Zhang Yunfei subtly felt that Zhou Yu and Qi Xingchen were not on good terms. He said to Bai Ye, “Xiao Bai, go with Xing Xing.”

Bai Ye also felt that his little fan was worried about leaving alone. After all, this was a person who would not say a word even if his hand was injured or his back was injured. He raised his long legs and led the way to the other end of the market.

Qi Xingchen could only follow.

Not long after they left, Qi Xingchen began to regret. Why did he let Bai Ye follow him? Wasn’t he just looking for trouble?

On the entire street, all the women who passed by Bai Ye, ranging from 70-year-old women to three-year-old girls, had their eyes glued to Bai Ye’s body. They were accompanied by praises such as “This young man is so handsome”, “Big brother is so good-looking”, “Ah ah ah ah, so handsome, so handsome”, “Eh, why does he look so familiar”.

Fortunately, Bai Ye’s status as a top idol was too different from the status of the young men wandering in the market. So far, no one dared to recognize him. Qi Xingchen immediately took out a pair of sunglasses from his backpack. “Put them on.”

“Huh?”

“Do you want to be on the news tomorrow?” Qi Xingchen puffed out his chest and imitated the announcer’s tone. “Yesterday, there was a serious stampede in Ox Town. After investigation, the cause of the accident was caused by the idol, Bai Ye, shopping, causing women to rush to get a glimpse of his handsome face … ”

“… Okay, enough.” Bai Ye pursed his lips. “I’ll put them on.”

As he spoke, he turned his head to take the sunglasses. The corners of his thin eyes were raised into a very beautiful arc, and his jaw line was tight. It was obvious that he was holding back his laughter.

Qi Xingchen’s first reaction was: Damn, damn, he’s so damn handsome!!!

His second reaction was: I can’t let him laugh. If he does, these women will go even crazier!

He couldn’t wait for Bai Ye anymore. He jumped in front of Bai Ye and accurately put the sunglasses on the other party’s nose.

After looking at Bai Ye for a moment, he found that Bai Ye’s exposed eyebrows, nose, and mouth … were also very attractive.

So he took out his hat and put it on Bai Ye’s head with a poof.

Bai Ye stood on the spot and let him do as he pleased. He then said helplessly, “Are you satisfied now?”

“So-so.” Qi Xingchen clicked his tongue. “It would be even better if you had a mask.”

“… How badly do you want me to be covered?”

“Don’t blame me.” Qi Xingchen raised his hands. “Who told you to be so good-looking?”

After speaking, he realized that he seemed to have spoken his mind. He quickly shut his mouth and pretended that he hadn’t said anything just now.

However, Bai Ye wasn’t deaf. He looked at the camera and asked in a low voice, “What did you just say?”

Qi Xingchen: “…”

Bai Ye: “You think I’m good-looking?”

Qi Xingchen’s eyeballs rolled left and right. He then said ambiguously, “Didn’t I always say that you’re good-looking?”

Thinking about it carefully, his little fan had indeed publicly flattered him quite a few times. However, it was difficult to tell whether a person’s flattery was true or false. How could it be true when someone said it unintentionally?

Bai Ye was inexplicably in a good mood. Qi Xingchen secretly glanced at the corner of his mouth and said indignantly, “Is there a need to be like this?”

Looking at his expression, Bai Ye couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “Thank you for the compliment. You’re good-looking too.”

Qi Xingchen: “…”

Qi Xingchen: “Hehe.”

As for. Quite as for.

.

Qi Xingchen and the bundled up Bai Ye walked around the bazaar. When they returned, their faces were not very good. “I just counted. There are a total of three shops selling ironware in the bazaar. One of them is at the crossroads with the most traffic. The other one is similar to Uncle Tie’s, but the price is three to ten dollars cheaper. So there are quite a few people buying.”

“That’s right.” Old Tie sighed. “Originally, there were quite a lot of people buying here because of the thick iron and the good paint. Later, I was pushed to such a state by those two shops. Only repeat customers were willing to look for me. ”

Everyone was in a dilemma. Old Tie’s location was not good, and the price was not good. Although the quality of the products was good, a piece of ironware was only ten to twenty dollars. Four to five dollars cheaper was equivalent to a quarter cheaper. Naturally, customers were willing to buy cheaper ones.

Old Tie’s core competitiveness was too poor.

Liu Ziyu probed, “Uncle Tie, can you lower the price and try to sell in quantity?”

“I’m afraid not.” Uncle Tie frowned. “Take this iron basin for example. The cost of making it is twelve dollars, and selling it for sixteen dollars, I’ll make a total profit of four dollars. If I sell it for thirteen dollars like other shops, I’ll only make one dollar.”

At most, thirty or forty washbasins could be sold for one dollar. Thirty or forty dollars a day was not even enough for two meals.

Old Tie was a real farmer. All these years, he had not produced a single defective product, and he disdained to do such a thing.

When everyone heard this, they were as distressed as he was. They could not lower the price, and they could not change the location of the fixed booth. What else could they do?

Qi Xingchen thought for a moment and said, “Since the situation is like this, it’s better to make a last-ditch effort. I have an idea …”

He briefly explained his idea to everyone. Zhang Yunfei decided, “I think we can give it a try, or we can try it for the whole morning.”

“Okay!” Luo Qiuman began to arrange according to Qi Xingchen’s idea.

Half an hour later, a farmer pushed a cart while looking around. He stopped in front of the Tie family’s booth, looked left and right, and said with dissatisfaction, “Other washbasins are 13 dollars, why are you selling this at 25 dollars?”

Qi Xingchen said slowly, “Selling it at a high price naturally has its advantages. If you want to buy cheap ones, look, there are all cheap ones here. ”

Qi Xingchen pointed at the washbasin at the other end. The farmer carefully looked at it and said with doubt, “But I see that this 13 dollar one is exactly the same as your 25 dollar one. The patterns are the same, what’s the difference?”

“It’s not bad, you can try it if you don’t believe me.” Qi Xingchen was still leisurely, “But it’s not as good as the 25 dollar one.”

The farmer picked up the 13 dollar one and knocked on it. The sound was thick and clear, and it was indeed better than other shops.

If the 13 dollar one was already so good, then what about the 25 dollar one? The farmer pondered for a moment and took out the 25 dollar, “I’ll trust you, boy, and give me the best one!”

“Okay.” Qi Xingchen smiled as he took out a plastic bag and put the washbasin in, “Uncle, come back after you’re done using it.”

“Okay!” The farmer took the washbasin and walked away happily. Old Tie and the other guests were also very happy.

A washbasin that had doubled in price was easily sold. Luo Qiuman didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Xing Xing, where did you get so many tricks from?”

“I’ve seen similar cases before.”

“I have a question,” Zhou Yu found fault, “What if the customers are inclined to buy the cheaper ones?”

“There will definitely be people who will choose the more expensive ones out of curiosity and comparison. The money we earn from selling one expensive one can be balanced by the money we earn from selling four cheaper ones. If it’s 1: 4, we won’t lose anything. ”

“Oh, marketing genius!”

Zhang Yunfei smiled as he stretched out his finger, wanting to poke Qi Xingchen’s forehead, “You little brain, how can you be so smart!”

However, when his finger was halfway there, Bai Ye’s arm suddenly inserted itself between the two of them, “Brother Yunfei, the iron ladle in front is out of stock.”

“Oh, oh,” Zhang Yunfei had to withdraw his hand, “I’ll get it for you.”
