"Thank you!"
Su Pingan's thank you made Xiaoman feel very sweet.
"Okay, let's go to town tomorrow to buy some new year's goods!"
After saying this, Su Pingan was also very happy.
The next day, the two men drove the bullock cart to the market together. This time, Tang Xiaoman took out a lot of money and prepared to buy some new year's goods.
They happened to see the newly killed New Year pigs sent out from the village, so they bought half a pig, which weighed more than two hundred kilograms. Then the beef and mutton were slightly more expensive, but they also bought a dozen kilograms.
Thinking of other chicken and duck meat, Tang Xiaoman originally wanted to buy a few, but was stopped by Su Pingan. Su Ping'an also raised chickens and ducks at home. Of course, he had to eat the ones raised at home during the Chinese New Year to avoid waste.
Tang Xiaoman saw dry goods such as melon seeds and peanuts being sold, and quickly bought some.
To be honest, Tang Xiaoman went out to buy new year's goods this time and received a lot of goods. After all, it was the first time that they had so much money to buy. Of course, if they were missing something, they bought some generously. No more Worry more about other things.
The two of them walked to a cloth shop. The cloth inside was of high quality. All the wealthy families in Xianglan Town came here to buy cloth.
Tang Xiaoman stopped at the door of the store. Su Ping'an couldn't help laughing when he saw Tang Xiaoman's lingering expression.
"Xiao Man, let's go in! I'll pick out some pieces of cloth for you!"
Tang Xiaoman looked at the coat he was wearing. The outside had begun to tear, and even the cotton wool inside was exposed.
Tang Xiaoman didn't mean to say that he wore too many clothes, but this cotton-padded jacket was mainly made from other people's leftovers.
Tang Xiaoman also knew that although he bought a lot of things today, it was the Chinese New Year after all, so he still had to buy some things.
Tang Xiaoman agreed.
Two people walked into the store. The boss saw that the two people were wearing ordinary clothes, and Su Pingan was still sitting in a wheelchair.
Naturally, he didn't pay much attention to them, and he didn't even pay attention to them.
Tang Xiaoman didn't care that much, but she still chose at the counter with ordinary items. After all, it would cost a lot to make an outfit if the cloth was too expensive.
Although Tang Xiaoman's business is doing well now, she doesn't want to be so luxurious.
Su Ping'an frowned when he saw that Tang Xiaoman had been picking around cheap cloth.
"Xiaoman, the clothes here don't suit you very well! Go and choose over there!"
The boss over there was introducing their new high-quality cloth to a young lady from a wealthy family. He never expected that Tang Xiaoman and the others would come over to take a look.
When Tang Xiaoman heard what Su Pingan said and saw that her boss looked a little disgusted with her, it actually aroused her rebellion.
Tang Xiaoman walked directly to the boss, smiled and said to her: "Please bring me all the best cloth in this store!"
As soon as these words came out, the young lady from the wealthy family next to her was startled. She snorted lightly with her nose, but Tang Xiaoman ignored her.
The owner of this store has no choice. Since the customer has made such a request, he can only comply with it.
The shopkeeper didn't want to go into the warehouse to get it, but the lady who was buying cloth next to her saw the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal.
"Boss, go in and get it!"
The boss brought out a large pile of cloths of various designs and colors from the warehouse, and they looked like top-quality goods.
He spread the cloth on the counter, and then let the lady from the wealthy family choose first.
Then he pointed with his finger and one of the colors was pink, but it looked a bit dark, as if it was a piece of cloth that had been soaked in water. He said to Tang Xiaoman and Su Pingan: "Two guests, take a look at this piece of cloth. This It's actually quite high-end, we imported it from Yunlai Country. It just happened to rain on the day we purchased it, and it got wet from the rain. It has been sitting idle in the warehouse until now. If you want it, it can be cheaper!"
When the lady from a wealthy family next to her heard this, she immediately showed a look of disdain on her face.
She sneered in disgust.
This is actually a kind of humiliation from the boss. He said to himself, don’t you want the high-quality cloth from us? I will humiliate you with this inferior product that is kept at the bottom of the box and cannot be sold for several years.
When Su Pingan next to him heard this, his face turned red with anger.
Just as he was about to come over, he grabbed Tang Xiaoman and left. You are not the only cloth merchant in this town. We can just buy from other stores.
Tang Xiaoman was not angered by the merchant. She touched the cloth first. Although she didn't know the name of the cloth, it looked much more delicate than ordinary coarse cloth.
Although it had been exposed to rain and some of the colors had lost their original color, Tang Xiaoman knew that as long as he went back and processed it a little bit, the color would definitely become brighter again.
However, there were still some watermarks and mud marks on the cloth. She thought for a moment, raised her head and asked the boss, "How can I sell this?"
The boss replied: "If you want this, it's fifty cents per horse. According to the ruler, it's seventeen cents per foot!"
The shopkeeper made a mental calculation and then said this.
When Tang Xiaoman heard this, he thought for a moment.
She thought that the difference was quite big, fifty cents for a horse and seventeen cents for a foot, the difference was a bit too big.
But it was still the New Year after all, so she still wanted to buy some more normal cloth. It would be good to make some decent clothes to go home for the New Year.
At this time, Tang Xiaoman made up his mind and said: "Boss, if you sell your defective piece of cloth to me for twenty-two cents a piece, I will buy you a hundred pieces directly."
"this……"
The shopkeeper hesitated. He could buy so much at once, but there were still defective pieces of cloth. Now he could basically clear out the stock. At that time, if we talk about twenty-five horses, he really won't make a penny. This is not cost-effective no matter how you calculate it.
"Girl, if you pay twenty-two cents, I won't make any money at all!"
"Let's do this, girl, come up with a round number, at least twenty-five cents!"
The shopkeeper continued to bargain with Tang Xiaoman.
At this time, Tang Xiaoman shook her head and said that she didn't want any more money.
Originally, the lady from a wealthy family next to her was planning to compete with Tang Xiaoman a little bit, but when Tang Xiaoman came out and said that she was going to buy this cloth, she helped Tang Xiaoman sit down and raise the price, which was considered as giving Tang Xiaoman some money. stumbling block.
As a result, when she heard Tang Xiaoman say that he wanted a hundred horses, she was so frightened that she immediately shut up and remained silent. After all, this low-grade fabric with some flaws would have no use if he bought it back.
Not to mention this matter, I really don’t know what to do. After all, in Tang Xiaoman's opinion, no matter how stupid the boss was, he would not want to lose such an opportunity to sell all his cloth.
