The photo shoot was over, and Nan Fei had nothing to do with what happened next. She still hadn't figured out what small items she should wholesale to sell back home, a problem that was giving her a headache.
The next day, she went to the small commodities wholesale market again, where she looked around the entire morning without finding anything satisfactory.
She had lunch at a small snack stall outside and suddenly thought of a good way to run a small business.
She realized she had been thinking wrong before. Why sell small commodities? To rural folks, no decoration beats practical household items, and no household item trumps a full belly.
School would start on September 1st, and rural areas would soon enter the busy autumn harvest season. This would be the time when the "autumn tiger" – the heat lingering in early autumn, was at its fiercest, with chilly mornings and evenings but torridly hot noontimes.
