At noon, the students of the school were over from school. When they saw many stalls selling things set up at the school gate, everyone was curious and gathered around to take a look.
The military wives also knew that they would not buy, so they just watched the excitement. There were very few people setting up stalls on this street.
Chen Xiangmei's two daughters also came out to see their mother. They were so excited to see their mother that they both said, "Mom! Are you back?"
Chen Xiangmei nodded: "Yes! How are you at home?"
The eldest daughter replied: "Everything is fine, I'm just worried about you."
The two daughters stood beside Chen Xiangmei one on each side, extremely attached to her.
Chen Xiangmei felt comfortable looking at it. In the future, when she earns money, as long as her children can study, it will be worth all the tiredness and hard work she has.
After a while, everyone with children studying in school came. Even those who didn't know they were not here were called over by others.
They were both in the same military compound. They came to school together every morning and went home together after school in the afternoon. They all had a good relationship.
If Qin Shuangshuang has morning or evening classes, he can meet them.
She heard that her sisters-in-law were setting up a stall outside, so she came out to take a look. Basically, she would eat in the school cafeteria at noon every day. One person taught English for one grade in high school. He had classes in the morning and afternoon, and he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
Seeing her coming, Liu Shuying and other military wives greeted her warmly, especially Chen Xiangmei. Her wool was sold very quickly. She wholesaled 20 kilograms of wool and sold more than ten kilograms in one morning.
The wholesale price of wool is three and a half yuan. She sells it for six yuan per catty and earns two and a half yuan. She earns twenty-five yuan when she sells ten catties. I never knew it would be so easy to make money if you find the right way.
Yesterday was the first time she got the goods. She didn't dare to take more, so she took some and tried to sell them. But it didn't work, so she wanted to find work tying brooms.
Judging from today's situation, she won't have to tie up the broom in the future, so she can just sell wool. Even if you sell two pounds a day, you can still make five yuan.
Jia Yuanyuan's plastic products are also selling well. Although she can't remember the purchase price of each item, she probably remembers that everything makes money, but it's a matter of making more or less.
The sales of Feng Xingxing's children's clothing were slightly worse, but at noon when students were out of school, the flowers, hair ties and the like sold well. She was busy selling things at the moment and didn't even have time to talk to Qin Shuangshuang.
Qiu Meiqin's shoes are also selling well. All she buys are Jiefang shoes, white student sneakers with white canvas and rubber soles.
Qin Shuangshuang took one look, and her eyes lit up. If all the students going to the competition could wear such a pair of white shoes, they would be uniformly dressed.
"Sister-in-law Qiu! How can I sell a pair of these shoes?"
Qiu Meiqin lowered her voice and told her: "The wholesale price is four yuan for a pair. I sell it for seven yuan and earn three yuan. Xiao Qin! If you want it, I will calculate the wholesale price for you."
Qin Shuangshuang smiled and shook his head: "It's not me, but twelve classmates from our school went to Haicheng to participate in an English competition on New Year's Day.
The principal said he would prepare clothes, but not shoes. I told my classmates to buy your white sneakers, but I didn’t know how many people would buy them. "
Chen Xiangmei immediately answered: "My eldest daughter is going to participate in the competition, I will get a pair first."
Qiu Meiqin's face lit up: "Xiao Qin! Are you trying to get business for me? I only have five pairs of white shoes here. I'll go buy them tomorrow and buy more. No matter if they can buy them or not, we will definitely prepare them."
Qin Shuangshuang smiled: "What I'm saying is that if twelve classmates want to buy it, you can't say it's out of stock. It doesn't matter if you don't buy it. The shoes won't wear out and can be sold until next summer."
"That's right." Jia Yuanyuan came over and told her secretly, "Xiao Qin! We went to Haicheng yesterday to pick up the goods and didn't come back late. Several people live in one room and everyone sleeps together. It's very interesting."
There was nothing going on at Liu Ye'er's stall, so she chatted along: "It's my first time to go back to Haicheng, but I'm very nervous. Fortunately, I'm following Sister-in-law Lu. She's smarter than any of us. If I go alone, I won't even be able to go home." I can’t find the road.”
Qiu Meiqin laughed after hearing this: "Hahaha! You also said that I don't dare to go alone."
Liu Ye'er asked Qin Shuangshuang: "Xiao Qin! Do you think my cloth stall should be arranged more neatly? Doesn't it look a bit messy with just bundles like this?"
Qin Shuangshuang looked at it casually and gave her an idea: "If there is a trolley at home, tie a horizontal bamboo pole on the shuttle bus, about one meter high, take out some cloth and put it on the bamboo pole.
Putting it down like this allows people to clearly see the color, pattern and verticality of the fabric. "
"Verticality?" Liu Ye'er was a little confused, "What is verticality?"
Qin Shuangshuang pulled out a roll of cloth and placed it on her waist, making the cloth vertical: "Look, this kind of cloth is suitable for making pants, and the verticality is better. The pants made are crisp and good-looking, like the one you entered." Horses don’t have much verticality, so they are suitable for outerwear.”
After hearing what she said, not only Liu Ye'er understood, but also the other military wives beside her.
"Oh my God! Xiao Qin, how did you grow up with such a brain? You know so much, and an educated person is better. He understands everything. If only you had come to our family home earlier, and we would have set up a stall earlier to make money."
"Sister-in-law Liu! This is what you tell people when you sell cloth from now on. I learned a trick and can still look at cloth like this."
"If we don't understand anything from now on, we can ask Xiao Qin. From now on, everyone will be in town, so it will be convenient to ask her anything we want."
Everyone was laughing and joking, and everyone was in a happy mood. It was true that they had made money by opening the business today, and everyone had a smile on their face.
Lu Xiaozhen returned to the army alone, and she did not set up a stall. Xu Aihua was very surprised when he saw the cloth and other things in her hand, and then saw that there was no one behind her.
He asked in a fuss: "Sister-in-law Lu! Why did you come back alone? Sister-in-law Qiu and the others are not really lost, are they?"
The eyes of the sisters-in-law who were with Xu Aihua were all focused on Lu Xiaozhen's face. Seeing her calm expression, they immediately felt that Xu Aihua's guess was wrong.
If something happened to the other sisters-in-law, how could Lu Xiaozhen remain so calm? I have been crying for a long time.
Frowning and glancing at Xu Aihua, Lu Xiaozhen said in a neither soft nor hard tone: "Sister-in-law Xu! Don't you speak without thinking? We went to Haicheng to buy some goods, why did we end up getting lost?
Sister-in-law Qiu and the others were setting up a stall in the town, and they didn't rush back in a hurry. In your opinion, they were lost? People are happy when they make money.
If you have that time, you should think about what you should do in the future, right? Everyone has found their own way to survive, but you are the only one who is worried about everything at home every day and is too busy to panic. Don't you feel bored? "
Xu Aihua also came from the countryside. He worked in the army canteen for a while. He was too stupid and talked too much, which made the canteen uncooperative and he was kicked out.
When I worked as a temporary worker in the cafeteria, I was very arrogant and disliked everyone. I always liked to taunt people with guns and sticks.
