She thought about it carefully last night. She couldn't afford so much money to open a tailor shop for a while. She could buy fabrics and go home to make clothes and sell them in the town.
As long as there are people buying it and making money, she will have the confidence to continue doing it.
After looking at several styles of clothes, both men and women, after leaving the department store, Lu Xiaozhen took out the notebook and pen in her bag and described them one by one.
I'm afraid that my brain won't be able to remember it, and I'm also afraid that I'll go somewhere else and be forgotten by all the messy things. She specifically asked for a pencil and an abandoned exercise book that the child did not want.
She can't write, but she can still draw clothing pictures.
Lu Xiaozhen smiled with satisfaction after drawing down all the clothing styles she had just seen.
"Let's take a bus to the wholesale market now. Let's go to the bus station over there and ask! Don't you know which bus we have to take?"
It was the first time for several people to come to Haicheng. Even if they knew the address, they didn't know how to get to the wholesale market.
At first, I asked several people but they still couldn't figure out how many buses it would take to go to the wholesale market. I thought I was in vain today because there is no wholesale market in Haicheng.
Later, someone told them where the wholesale market was, but it was so confusing that none of them could remember it.
She asked someone again to ask, and when she finally asked, Lu Xiaozhen took out a pen and paper and asked the person to write down which bus to take and where to get off.
Although she doesn't know how to read, she can show it to her children when she gets back and let them teach them how to read.
Once you get to know each other, you will know how to go.
Chen Xiangmei, on the other hand, reminded the other sisters-in-law: "Let's come here and mark the more prominent things so that we can know where they are when we come here."
Others nodded, thinking her idea was a good one.
According to the information provided by passers-by, they actually found the wholesale market. Just go in and ask for a ticket, which costs 50 cents per person.
Lu Xiaozhen asked everyone: "Are you going in with me or what?"
Feng Xingxing raised his hand: "If I want to go in, isn't it only 50 cents for the ticket? I've already come, so I can save this."
Everyone thought she was right and everyone expressed their opinions.
"I want to go in too. It's not easy for us to find a place. Let's go in and see what's wholesaled there. Can we get some goods to sell back?"
"Yes, I want to go in. I just came here for it. How can I not go in when I get to the door?"
"Yes, I still hope to go in and find my own path in the future."
After listening to everyone's words, Lu Xiaozhen nodded: "Okay, then I'll buy tickets and let's all go in."
After buying the tickets, we took them out and followed them one by one into the wholesale market. All they saw were oncoming carts and tricycles with loads of goods on them.
Several military wives were dumbfounded. Look at this person, with such a big business and so many goods, they must have earned money.
Who can earn so much if you have no money?
The wholesale market is so big, with one, two, three, four, five, six, and seven areas. One, two, three, and four are downstairs, and five, six, and seven are upstairs.
There were a lot of people coming and going inside. When a few people came in the morning, they didn't plan to get the goods today, so they didn't bring anything.
Unlike others, whoever comes in has several nylon bags under their arms. When the goods are full, they can be sent out on a pallet truck or a tricycle.
Several people browsed all the areas inside, inquired about prices, and visited several stores with the same type of goods to compare prices.
Lu Xiaozhen was the most prepared. She wholesaled several kinds of fabrics, buttons, and threads. She had nothing to load, so the boss enthusiastically found her an old nylon bag to put it in.
Her business is finally done, and now comes the other people's business. Everyone was tired from walking and hungry. There was a bun shop upstairs, and they discussed buying buns to satisfy their hunger.
There was no place to sit in the bun shop, so everyone found a corner to squat and eat, discussing while eating. The buns don't taste as good as those made by Liu Shuying. I just came here and had no choice.
There is only one steamed bun shop in the whole wholesale market. You have to eat if you don't want to, or you will go hungry.
Feng Xingxing was the first to say: "I'm optimistic, I want to sell children's clothes, plus all kinds of headbands and hairbands."
Chen Xiangmei was the second to speak: "I sell wool. The weather is cold, so it must be good to sell wool."
Qiu Meiqin hesitated: "I sell shoes, no matter what kind of shoes I sell."
Liu Ye'er: "I sell general merchandise. I sell everything from needles and threads to pots and pans."
Lu Xiaozhen reminded her: "Selling things is too miscellaneous and it will be very hard for you. I think you should sell cloth! It will be easier to get the goods, replenish the goods quickly, and you will not be so tired."
I can also get the cloth I need from you in the future, and I can do whatever I want. I save the time of coming to Haicheng, and you can earn some money. "
Liu Ye'er's eyes lit up: "Yes! Sister-in-law Lu is still thoughtful about things, so I will sell the cloth. I will wholesale some and take it away when I go down, and sell it in the town tomorrow."
Jia Yuanyuan's mind was a little confused and she looked at everyone: "Then what should I sell?"
Lu Xiaozhen looked at everyone and gave her some advice: "I think you just sell plastic products, plastic buckets, plastic washbasins, etc. Those kind of things won't break, and you can't make enough money by selling them." remain."
After thinking about it, Jia Yuanyuan felt that she was right: "Then it's settled, I sell all kinds of plastic products. If my sisters-in-law need it, I'll give it at the wholesale price."
Everyone smiled and shook their heads, saying no.
Chen Xiangmei looked at the sisters-in-law and boldly made a suggestion: "We have agreed that if we need something, we can't give wholesale prices to each other.
Round trip tickets, shipping fees, etc. all have to be included. You don’t expect to make money, but you can’t lose money either. I said this to sound a bit petty, but I don't want us to have a bad relationship in the future because of the three melons and two dates.
You don't want to fall out over a piece of 80 cents when you say something ugly. "
"That's what I mean." Lu Xiaozhen agreed with Chen Xiangmei's opinion, "It's not easy for us to come together from different places, and it's not easy to set up a stall to sell things together, but we can't act like black-eyed chickens just because of trivial matters.
As well as ourselves, we have to think about the men in our family. Besides, we are military wives and we cannot embarrass the soldiers.
Look at Comrade Xiao Qin, a young girl can put herself in our shoes. We are all old, why can't we be as sensible as a little girl? "
Qiu Meiqin immediately said: "That's absolutely not possible. Let's make an agreement. In the future, when we buy things from each other, we will include all the expenses.
It doesn't matter whether you want to buy it or not. You can't talk behind your back and ruin the relationship between us. "
Liu Yeer had no objection and said jokingly: "Don't worry! If any of you come to my house to buy cloth from now on, I won't give you the wholesale price."
Jia Yuanyuan sighed: "Why do I feel like I'm dreaming? Yesterday I was worried about what to do in the future. Today I have to go back and sell the goods? Will I not be able to sell them?"
