Sister-in-law Xu was also very surprised when she saw Xu Yin bringing back five pieces of cloth.
"Yinyin, have you found the wholesale market?"
"Well, in the north of the city, the road is a bit far and requires two transfers." Xu Yin told her sister-in-law the route.
Then he took out all the spoils of today and showed them to his sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law Xu was surprised: "So much? How much does it cost?"
When Xu Yin told the price, Sister-in-law Xu was so surprised that her jaw dropped to the ground: "Is this, so cheap?"
Xu Yin laughed: "Sister-in-law, I had the same reaction as you, as if I had picked up money. But if you think about it carefully, department store counters require rent and employees require wages. If the sales are not more expensive, what do they earn? We want I opened a store to do business, so I thought it was a good deal to buy more at once. But if I just made a skirt for myself, why would I need ten meters? Besides, I looked at the wholesale market. There are really few colors of soft yarns. Except for lake blue and red, the others are not Black is gray. I guess department stores have priority in purchasing from cloth factories. Small quantities and good-looking designs and colors are picked out by them in advance, and the rest are put into the wholesale market."
After Xu Yin analyzed this, Sister-in-law Xu also calmed down.
My forehead felt hot just now, and I almost wanted to take all the money at home and go straight to the wholesale market to buy Rouzi yarn.
There is also a special price of 30 meters of foreign cloth, which only costs 20 yuan.
Even with the ridiculous price difference of Rouzi Yarn in front of me, I was much calmer than before, but my hands were still shaking a little.
I have never been to the fabric wholesale market before, so I didn’t know the wholesale price was so cheap.
The military wives from the neighbors formed a team to see the five pieces of cloth that Xu Yin brought back.
Many people backed off after learning that the fabric was on sale with some flaws, but some also asked about the price:
"Sister-in-law, my eldest son will start elementary school in September, and I am planning to make him some new clothes. If you sell the cloth, it will save me the trouble of going to the city."
Sister-in-law Xu had already discussed it with her sister-in-law and immediately quoted a price.
When everyone heard that it was only one dollar and three, those who had originally backed down came back.
After all, when department stores deal with defective fabrics, they grab them, and the cheapest ones are only a dollar and a half. The designs and colors are leftovers selected by in-house staff, and they are far less beautiful than these few pieces.
So, you were three meters away and I was five meters away from grabbing it.
I didn't plan to buy it, but I couldn't help but the price was cheap, so I bought it for a few meters.
In the end, these five pieces of defective cloth were internally digested by the family members in the building before the tailor shop opened.
Five pieces of cloth made a net profit of ninety-five yuan. Sister-in-law Xu could not believe it.
Xu Yin generously divided her into fifty pieces.
Sister-in-law Xu waved her hand away. She did nothing but quote a price to the family.
"Sister-in-law, take it! If I didn't have the fifty yuan you gave me, I wouldn't necessarily go to the north of the city to wholesale hair."
Xu Yin pushed the money into her hand.
"This is too much! I have made more money than I originally invested."
"It will get better and better in the future."
I made dozens or hundreds of dollars by buying and selling in half a day. It's a pity that the special price of cloth is not available every day, otherwise Sister-in-law Xu would be tempted to want to do the cloth business.
However, thinking that she still had a few pieces of regular-priced cloth in her hand, especially the soft yarn, which was purchased at such a cheap price, she discussed with her sister-in-law that before the tailor shop opened, she would go to the north of the city to buy some other designs and colors to sell.
She believes that with these soft yarns in charge, the tailor shop's business will be booming.
In the next few days, the aunt and sister-in-law were very busy.
Sister-in-law Xu was preparing for the opening of the tailor shop, and Xu Yin got up early and took the bus to the city to set up a street stall.
She found a square with relatively large traffic, and there were many people setting up street stalls like her.
She spread a blue-printed coarse cloth on the ground, and placed mountain products such as mushrooms, fungus, and dried bamboo shoots on the left; kelp, shrimp, seaweed and other seafood on the right; and placed several jars of canned fruits and ancient brown sugar in the middle.
Canned goods and brown sugar are the largest stocks in the system warehouse besides rice, flour, grains and oils. They don’t need much as favors and gifts, so they can be mixed in and sold to get some cash.
On the first day, there were more people watching than buying.
At first, the most purchased items were neither seafood nor mountain products, but brown sugar and canned fruits.
There are two hospitals not far from the square. Families of patients often come here to buy fresh food. Brown sugar and canned food are popular souvenirs for visiting patients.
But gradually, everyone's attention fell on mountain products and seafood.
Tongcheng is located in a plain. In addition to growing food, country people also raise chickens, ducks, vegetables, and catch river fresh food to sell in the city. Mountain products and seafood are really uncommon.
It's rare to see someone setting up a stall to sell this. Regardless of whether they are sincerely buying it, they will curiously ask the price.
"What is this? Kelp? The price is quite cheap, but the question is how to eat it?"
Many people didn't know kelp. Xu Yin taught them how to eat it, so they weighed some and went back to stew the pork ribs.
The sales of mushrooms, fungus, dried bamboo shoots and other mountain products are not bad, but before nine o'clock, they are sold out.
Dictyophora and russula are priced high, and no one is buying them for the time being.
Xu Yin was not in a hurry, so she took it back to her sister-in-law to make soup if she couldn't sell it.
On the first day of closing the stall, Xu Yin made a small profit of fifty after deducting costs.
When I went back, I brought a crispy-skinned roast duck, and asked my sister-in-law to steam a dozen sheets of dough that were almost as thin as cicada wings, cut two shredded cucumbers and green onions, mixed a plate of secret sauce, and taught everyone how to eat sliced duck.
Doudou's mouth was full of oil. After dinner, he went out to eat. He couldn't wait to share the delicacy of the duck with his friends. Soon, the corridor heard the sound of boys being beaten.
Xu Yin: "..." She really didn't want to stir up trouble.
The next day, she was surrounded by nearby residents before she spread out the burlap and put out the wild products and dried seafood.
"Little boss, do you still have the kelp from yesterday? I want two kilograms, some shrimp, some dried bamboo shoots, and some mushrooms. Can it be cheaper if I buy so much?"
"Little boss, I also want two kilograms of kelp, and weigh me half a kilogram of drunken crabs."
"Little boss, do you still have the mud snails from yesterday? Is there any bigger ones? I'll give them to others. And how do you eat these dried razor clams? Can you make soup or stir-fry? That's good, I'll give it to you for two pounds."
"Little boss, how do you sell these red mushrooms?"
"Little boss,..."
Xu Yin was a little confused: "..."
what happened?
It turned out that people who bought wild products and dried seafood from her stall yesterday made soup that night and found it extremely delicious.
Thinking that these things are usually hard to come by, I might as well stock up on them. Anyway, they are either dry goods or pickled goods, which will last a long time. So I got up early and came here to wait.
These old customers are living advertisements, inspiring other passers-by to follow suit and snap up purchases.
The other vendors were jealous.
After only one day here, it has become the most popular stall in the city center square. Who wouldn’t be jealous?
But what can be done? They have unique products in the entire square, so it's not easy to lower prices to grab business.
Fortunately, the quantity of mountain products and dried seafood that this girl brought was limited. They sold out on the fourth day and said they were gone. If things continued like this, their business would definitely be affected.
