Xia Xiaolan's tone was firm, Chen Xiliang was like a cat whose tail was stepped on:
"What the hell touch it, touch the fabric!"
When Chen Xiliang was in a hurry, even the Yangcheng dialect popped up. His Mandarin is pretty good among Yangcheng people, but he still has an accent. Xia Xiaolan also looked guilty at first glance, Chen Xiliang eagerly took off the coat and stuffed it into her hands, Xia Xiaolan rubbed it with her hands.
"It's really good material."
Chen Xiliang wasn't all lying, judging from Xia Xiaolan's experience in two lifetimes, it should be a blend of cashmere and wool - I don't know which small factory's technology is not up to standard, so wasting cashmere like this!
Before Chen Xiliang was happy, Xia Xiaolan frowned: "Good material is not cashmere, 80 yuan a piece is too expensive, I can't sell it at all when I take it back, tell me the real price."
Chen Xiliang only felt that he had seen a ghost. The first time Xia Xiaolan came to pick up the goods, she was dressed so dirty, she looked like a country girl, had she ever touched real cashmere products, she insisted that the coat was not made of cashmere.
One wanted to sell the clothes, and the other actually wanted to buy them. They bargained and finally cut the wholesale price to 70 yuan.
Chen Xiliang's heartbroken expression looked like a dead old woman. In terms of acting skills, Xia Xiaolan felt that she was not as talented as this young profiteer. It all depended on a little bit of experience to grind the price with Chen Xiliang. He refused to give in if it was less than 70 yuan, so Xia Xiaolan agreed.
This coat has two colors, black and navy blue. Navy blue is what later generations call it, and now people are used to calling it "navy blue".
Xia Xiaolan took 10 pieces of each color, matching the size. Chen Xiliang's style is not easy to sell, and he is eager to get rid of the goods, but Xia Xiaolan is bold and cautious, and refuses to buy more. Anyway, she is already mentally prepared to sell the goods, and she may not sell them so quickly when she takes them back. Not only is the style attractive, but it is also the most expensive product she has ever wholesaled. The retail price should be around 140 yuan, yes Three months' salary of an ordinary person.
Chen Xiliang thought that Xia Xiaolan's cold-proof clothing was backlogged, but Xia Xiaolan turned around and asked for another 30 cold-proof clothing and 30 duck down jackets.
There are more men's winter clothes, but the duck down jacket is the opposite.
Just these three items cost nearly 2,900 yuan. After deducting the consignment fee and her own return ticket, the payment she can control is only 1,800 yuan. Xia Xiaolan directly gave up the sweater, no matter how chic it was. She only wants women's woolen coats and trousers, and she doesn't take in odds and ends such as scarves and gloves. She doesn't make much money from leather shoes, so she doesn't bother to bring the size.
The variety of goods changed from less to more, and from more to less, which was originally the result of testing the market reaction. How can doing business be static, you have to adjust at any time, so as not to be eliminated by the market Well, running a clothing business in Shangdu is also a challenge.
In the blink of an eye, December is here.
Xia Xiaolan was sitting on the train, hesitating whether she should get off the train Just as she thought before, she should visit her hometown in her previous life. The first time was when Zhou Cheng said they would meet up in Yangcheng, the second time they simply went south with Zhou Cheng, and the third time they went south with Liu Fen, it seemed that it was inconvenient to get off the bus halfway.
So this time, by myself.
No, she still has a lot of goods, nearly 5,000 yuan worth of goods. If she can't go to the Shangdu Station together, what if the hard work these days has been in vain?
Xia Xiaolan used this reason to convince herself.
Being close to the hometown, she is afraid that she will not see "Xia Xiaolan" in this time and space, and when she sees it, she feels that she does not know how to face "myself". Or she is not strong enough now, otherwise there would be no such entanglements.
Bang bang, bang bang, bang bang.
The train passed the halfway station.
For the fourth time, Xia Xiaolan returned to Shangdu after sitting on the hard seat with her goods for more than 30 hours.
Liu Fen and Li Fengmei had guessed the time and waited at the train station. The weather in Shangdu these days is still very bad. The cold wind is raging on the platform. Li Fengmei and Liu Fen are both wearing heavy old jackets. Even a light and fluffy duck down jacket is reluctant to wear it by myself.
I don't want to wear it, and the goods I got last time are all sold.
The train slowly stabilized on the platform, Li Fengmei's heart was burning:
"Is this the car? Hurry up and find Xiaolan!"
The colder it is, the better the business is. Li Fengmei set up a stall with Xia Xiaolan only to find out that there are so many "rich people" in the business. In addition to buying salt, seeds and fertilizers, rural people are willing to spend money only when their children pay school fees, and they are willing to fight hard if they have a headache. It costs money to make new clothes. In the past, cloth tickets were needed to sell cloth. It is not easy to save some cloth tickets, and it is not enough to save enough cloth tickets to make a whole suit from head to toe in a yearEven if Liu Yong withdraws the capital of the partnership for 5,000 yuan all?Leave it to Li Fengmei for safekeeping, and she is reluctant to spend 100 yuan to buy a woolen coat!
People in the city are willing to do so. They get paid every month. Even the work of burning boilers is not as hard as the farmers who plan to eat in the soil. They usually spend money carefully. However, the benefits of various units are different. It¡¯s only more than 30 yuan a month, and some wages can be as high as 60 or 70 yuan. The units with particularly good benefits, salary plus 7,788 yuan in bonuses, and some earn one or two hundred a month.
The couple are dual-employees, and the family burden is not too heavy. If they want to buy a wool coat worth hundreds of yuan, they can buy it after saving two months. Good clothes are an important outfit to save face, just like a new bicycle, like a Torconium watch on your wristEveryone has things, so you should try your best to have them.
Even if Li Fengmei is self-employed now, she is still a conservative when it comes to spending money.
Not to mention Liu Fen, her daughter is already 18 years old, how many times has she touched money in total?
Even if she can make money by herself now, after spending so many years in the bitter water, money is a thing that is only hated when it is used. How can she think that she has saved too much money? If she had money, she didn't have to kneel on the ground begging Mrs. Xia to take Xia Xiaolan to the hospital when Xia Xiaolan committed suicide by hitting the wall.
Liu Fen is more picky than Li Fengmei. The money she saved is not for her own use, but should be given to Xia Xiaolan.
Of course Xiaolan is different from her, money can earn more money in Xiaolan's hands Anyway, Liu Fen is reluctant to spend a dime on herself, and even putting a box of clam oil on her hands for a few cents makes her feel distressed , but Xia Xiaolan wanted to eat meat and fine grains, Liu Fen never said a single serious word.
The two country bumpkins lamented that the people in Shangdu are rich, while trying to look around, they finally saw Xia Xiaolan's figure among the crowds of people.
"Xiaolan!"
"That's Xiaolan!"
Xia Xiaolan brought a large number of goods back to Shangdu, but two women from the family came to pick her up.
Liu Yong was delayed by the deputy factory manager's house today. The old man broke his leg and had to go to the hospital to check the healing of the bones. Liu Yong helped carry the man downstairs and wrapped the woolen mattress around the old man's legs. The relatives invited to help pushed the old man to the hospital, while Liu Yong ran upstairs to help knead the noodles.
Today, the son of the old couple, who is the deputy factory manager, is going back to his parents' house for dinner. The old lady is busy buying meat and chopping stuffing in the morning. Liu Yong has no cooking skills. He has the strength, so he is in charge of kneading the dough.
In fact, the injury on his back is still not healed, but he was called to the family to see the slightest bit, and Liu Yong worked hard to move rice to resist coal balls.
How can all the old ladies in the world be Grandma Yu, everyone has good hands, and this old lady also feels that she should do something for Liu Yong. After the two finished making the dumplings, the old lady gave Liu Yong a guarantee:
"Don't talk later, it's all up to me."
Liu Yong was overjoyed, with an uneasy expression on his face, "You look so embarrassed"
The old lady counted the round dumplings, "There is no need to be embarrassed, it will always make your wishes come true."
Who doesn't know, Liu Yong doesn't have any relatives, and doesn't get his family's salary, so he runs back and forth all day long. Anyway, what she did was more caring and reliable than her deputy factory manager's son. Even if she asked for something, she didn't hide it. The honest people from the countryside who go to the city to seek a living, if they can help, they will solve it. The old lady can't think of benefits or anything. What people care about is helping each other.
She just liked Liu Yong! (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
