After the kitchen and bathroom structures are completed, an earth stove needs to be built in the kitchen.
Pei Huaiyuan hired a person who specialized in making earthen stoves to make them at home, and let his four children do it.
They were given some pots and pans, but they were far from enough and needed to purchase various kitchen utensils.
He decided to go to the town himself and buy some better and more durable things.
After leaving my hometown for many years, I once again walked into the town of Yanweikou.
Pei Huaiyuan found that the truth was completely different from what he had seen before.
There were very few people inside the General Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and there were quite a few people shopping in the small shops outside.
This made him feel very uncomfortable.
The current social economy seems to be completely different from that before he joined the army.
There are many people walking on the street, coming and going, and people buying things are constantly bargaining.
In the past two days, he went to the factory and the tile factory, but he only went in to take a look. The reason he actually got the goods was because the directors of the two factories knew him. He told him what he wanted, and they gave him the goods directly. .
Coming to this town today was strictly speaking his first time integrating into society since he came back.
He walked around the department store and found that the prices of many things were much more expensive than in previous years.
Things in some small commodity stores on the street are actually cheaper.
"Comrade, do you want to buy a basin? The basin we have is quite good. Look at the bottom of the basin with the pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water. It is red and festive, and the price is affordable. Do you want one?"
"how much for one?"
"You, comrade, have an upright look on your face, and I am kind to you. I will give you the best price, two and a half dollars each."
"Let me tell you, that means you are here, and others really can't get this price."
The proprietress who sells goods said to him very warmly.
Pei Huaiyuan nodded, "Then let's have one."
"Where's this pot? How much does it cost?"
"This is an authentic iron pot. The quality is very good. You see, the bottom of this pot is so thick. It will never wear out. It is not the same as the pots sold in other places. It needs to be replenished sometimes. I see you are also a cheerful person. Ten One block."
"Buy one."
Pei Huaiyuan took another one.
After buying the pot, he bought a lot of things, such as bowls, chopsticks and dishes.
Remembering that the children had washed clothes with their feet for the past two days and there was no washing powder at home, he bought soap, shampoo, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc.
After a round, he found that the five great unity cards he had brought were basically spent.
"Boss, you have to make this cheaper. I used to work in a textile factory. I know the factory price of this cloth very well. Your price is too unrealistic. If we only buy one or two pieces of cloth, you can forget it. Seeing as my sister-in-law has brought fifteen pieces of cloth from you two days ago, you must make it cheaper for us."
A very familiar voice suddenly came from not far away.
"You girl seems to have seen the world, but we, the businessmen, have to make some profits and make some money, otherwise this store will not be able to open." The proprietress selling cloth said to Lin Yunchu in embarrassment.
"Is it your own on the opposite side? To be honest, this fabric is not this year's fabric. You can definitely get a discount on this price. If you really can't get a discount, then we will go to other stores to have a look. "
Lin Yunchu said without giving in at all.
Doing business must be profitable.
But the price of these cloths that the second sister-in-law brought can definitely be kept down.
Saving costs in the early stages of starting a business is the first priority.
"Hey, don't! Girl, we can still talk some more."
In the end, Lin Yunchu helped Gu Qiuhong lower the price at a price he thought was suitable.
"Sister-in-law, you are so awesome. I thought the price I mentioned was low enough, but I didn't expect it to be even lower. No matter what I buy from now on, I will come to you!"
Gu Qiuhong said to Lin Yunchu with a grateful face.
The cloth she got last time was a bit dull in color, so Lin Yunchu suggested that she get more cloth.
After hearing the price of the last time she got the goods, she said to come with her.
This really reduced her costs a lot.
"Can."
Lin Yunchu nodded.
She is familiar with keeping prices down.
When she started doing business in her previous life, in order to save costs, she developed a good skill at lowering prices.
"Hey, Comrade Huaiyuan, are you here?"
Gu Qiuhong discovered Pei Huaiyuan immediately.
"I need to buy some things for my home. I'll buy them."
Pei Huaiyuan's eyes fell on Lin Yunchu. Today she was wearing a goose-yellow top, a white skirt, and black leather shoes. Her eyes were bright, and she looked like a young lady going to the countryside. She was young, pretty, and charming.
"You bought a lot of things. How much does your washbasin cost?"
"Two yuan and a half each. The boss said it was a special price given to me."
"..." Gu Qiuhong was shocked, "Did she say that? I bought an exact same one last time for only two yuan."
"..." Pei Huaiyuan, he was tricked.
The boss made a lot of money and looked like he had given him countless face.
When Lin Yun first saw the cold expression on Pei Huaiyuan's face, he immediately knew that the other things he bought were definitely not cheap.
The current domestic reform and opening up period is not long, and the market economy has just begun.
How much can traders and small shop owners earn?
When you meet a real acquaintance, you may actually give some preferential prices. When you meet someone you don't know, you can kill every one.
Pei Huaiyuan has been away from his hometown for so many years and is very unfamiliar.
The boss must think he is a fat sheep being slaughtered.
Pei Huaiyuan himself has been living in a military camp, and his food and clothing are provided by the army.
Even if I really go out on a mission, I probably have never entered the market and purchased something in such a down-to-earth manner.
Before she went to school, she knew some retired soldiers. The soldiers had lived in the military camps for many years, and when they re-entered society, they were simpler than the students.
Pei Huaiyuan is like this at this moment.
"Comrade Huaiyuan, this thing of yours is really expensive."
"I'll retreat."
Pei Huaiyuan turned around and returned to the shop.
Mosquito meat is also meat. Fifty cents is not much, but it can buy a lot of things for the children, such as pencils, erasers, notebooks, etc.
"Hey, you gay man, how can you do this? Where can I return the things I bought? Is my thing rotten? If not, why do you want to return it?"
"Looking at your upright face and tall posture, why are you so fussy and have no structure at all?"
"You get what you pay for. My stuff is 50 cents more expensive than others, but the quality is different. Besides, it's only 50 cents. Why do you care so much? Be a man and care about such a small amount of money. It's really stingy!" "
The lady boss immediately became excited when she heard what Pei Huaiyuan meant.
How could she get a refund for the items she sold?
"Madam boss, you are the most generous and well-organized business person. Please sell this thing to me for a dime."
Lin Yunchu came over, threw a dime to the proprietress, and then walked out carrying the briquettes stove outside.
