"The items sent by that friend were all defective, and he didn't say anything in advance. But the price was calculated based on the wholesale price of normal shirts, and the payment was remitted in advance. I contacted him just now to return the goods, but he refused. I called again and couldn't get in touch. He is my junior high school classmate, and his family went to the south two years ago to develop..."
Mu Chenze said this with a hint of hurt and anger in his eyes.
He treats others as friends, but others treat him as a scapegoat.
Chu Xuan couldn't remember that this happened in his previous life.
Maybe it happened, but Mu Chenze didn't tell her.
Judging from the implications of these words, this batch of goods cannot be returned.
"Where's the goods? Let's see if we can fix it."
Mu Chenze pointed to the post office, "On the bench inside."
Chu Xuan put the backpack on the ground and told Chu Feng, "You look at the grilled fish fillets here, and I'll go in and take a look."
Chu Feng said yes, no problem.
Chu Xuan followed Mu Chenze into the post office and came to the bench.
A bulging sack lay on the bench.
When you open it, you will find that every men's shirt has holes, ranging from the size of a grain of rice to the size of a fingernail. The key is that the holes are in different locations: on the sleeves, shoulders, breast pockets, back...
No wonder Mu Chenze looked so ugly. This situation was indeed difficult to remedy.
If you sell it directly, you can only sell it at the price of the defective product, and you will definitely lose money.
Chu Xuan remembered that his biological mother Tian Xiaoyun knew a kind of traceless acupuncture method.
When patching holes in clothes, use threads of similar colors and use seamless stitching to completely sew the holes, which not only does not affect the appearance, but also gives people a feeling of icing on the cake.
"I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible. Give me a few minutes and I'll make a call."
Mu Chenze's heart ignited with hope, "Go quickly!"
Chu Xuan called Tian Xiaoyun, but unfortunately, she couldn't get in touch.
Thinking that there was no reply to the letter he sent before, he guessed that Tian Xiaoyun had traveled far away.
Tian Xiaoyun taught Chu Xuan in the beginning, but the problem was that Chu Xuan was too lazy to learn and only learned superficially.
Chu Xuan was filled with regret at this moment.
Walked out of the post office and looked at my little brother.
"Xiao Feng, I remember when my mother taught me the seamless stitching method, you watched it from the side. Did you learn anything? Even though you were young at that time, you really loved using needles to sew things."
Later, after Feng Chunhua took over the two of them, Chu Feng was not allowed to use needlework, saying that it would affect the family's wealth if a man used needlework.
Chu Feng scratched his head, looking confused, "Sister, I don't know what seamless stitching is, but I can sew."
A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor.
Chu Xuan borrowed needle and thread from the post office staff, then took out a white shirt with holes in the cuffs from the sack and handed it to Chu Feng.
"Try to mend it and make it look as good as possible."
"good."
Chu Feng sat on a stone next to the post office door and concentrated on sewing.
Mu Chenze lifted the sack next to Chu Feng and held his breath, waiting for the result.
In less than five minutes, the original hole in the cuff turned into a small piece of white embroidery of auspicious clouds.
For the sake of symmetry, Chu Feng also embroidered almost identical auspicious clouds at the same position on the other cuff.
Mu Chenze was very excited, "Xiao Feng, that's great!"
Chu Feng was embarrassed by the praise and lowered his head, "In the past, Feng Chunhua said that boys could not use needles to sew, which would affect the family's wealth and make people feel that they were neither male nor female and would be looked down upon. From then on, I didn't dare Start sewing again."
Chu Xuan looked apologetic. It was her previous inaction that caused her younger brother's interests to be ignored.
"If you want to use needlework from now on, feel free to do so!"
Chu Feng jumped up happily, "Great! Let's buy some rags another day. I want to sew all kinds of small animals."
Chu Xuante wanted to compensate his younger brother, "No problem."
Mu Chenze regarded Chu Feng as his savior, "Xiao Feng, I want to discuss something with you. Can you help me sew more than a hundred pieces of clothing? It's a dollar per piece, okay? You can sew short sleeves first. There are fifty pieces. about."
Chu Feng was so shocked that his mouth formed an O shape. Can he still make money from sewing? He quickly came to his senses and said, "Brother Chenze and my sister are good friends. Brother Chenze is also very kind to me. I don't want money."
After speaking, he looked at Chu Xuan, as if asking, Sister, am I right?
Chu Xuan returned his encouraging gaze, "Yes. No money required."
Mu Chenze simply stopped talking about money, "Xiao Feng, you and your sister go to the county town first! I will transport these shirts back to your home. You have worked hard these days to mend them."
Although Chu Feng was young, he could tell that Mu Chenze hoped to sell these shirts as soon as possible.
"I'm not going to the county seat today. My sister can go alone. Let's go back."
I am very happy to be able to help Mu Chenze.
You can mend it when you get home.
Chu Xuan had no objection. Considering that the sack of men's shirts came in several colors, he suggested that they buy thread of similar colors first before returning.
Originally, she wanted to go with him, but Chu Feng said that he could choose the route, so he didn't go.
After returning the borrowed needle and thread to the post office staff, Chu Xuan got on the bus to the county seat with her backpack on her back.
At half past three, Chu Xuan arrived at the downstairs of the county machinery factory's family, selling grilled fish fillets.
"Come to buy grilled fish fillets! Delicious grilled fish fillets!"
After shouting a few words, a beautiful woman in her thirties walked over with awkward legs.
He asked cautiously, "Is it Chu Xuan? I'm Zhang Feifei."
"You are Doctor Zhang's niece!" Chu Xuan said with a polite smile on her face, "Are you here specifically to see me?"
She specifically inquired about Zhang Feifei, who was abandoned by her husband after being injured at work and now lives with a teenage daughter.
"Yes. I can't wait for your next visit to my uncle to see a doctor and then reply. I want to wholesale grilled fish fillets with you as soon as possible and start a business."
Although Zhang Feifei is now entitled to a salary withdrawal due to illness, the salary and bonus are much less than those for normal work.
I don’t want my uncle to subsidize and worry about me all the time.
Only by standing up early can your family feel at ease.
Chu Xuan patted the lid of the backpack, and while there was no one else around, he whispered, "Let's start from today! This is thirty kilograms, and the wholesale price is one yuan and sixty cents per kilogram. As for how much it costs to sell it? Jin, you have the final say. For the first time we cooperate, I will give you the backpack and white cloth. I will take away the scale inside."
Zhang Feifei was so pleasantly surprised that she didn't expect to be able to do business today, "Thank you!"
He quickly took out a thick stack of money from his pocket, counted out 48 yuan, and stuffed it into Chu Xuan's hand.
The payment is settled in full.
Chu Xuan told her how to store the grilled fish fillets. If she was in a hurry to get the goods after they were sold out, she could just call the village office and tell the person who answered the phone, and they would be delivered to her door.
The two chatted for a few more words before Chu Xuan left.
When passing by a tailor shop, I spent eight yuan to buy a pair of blue bell-bottom pants for my younger brother, and spent ten pounds of rags to buy two short-sleeved sportswear for myself, one red and one blue, specially painted. The kind of style that makes fat people look thinner and more fashionable. I paid another fifteen yuan as a deposit, and paid the final payment when I came to pick up the clothes three days later.
I went to a time-honored pastry shop and bought Shaqima and Tao Su for five yuan for my little brother...
At around six o'clock in the afternoon, Chu Xuan walked into the house.
Almost at the same time, Widow Niu and Liu Zhaodi looked at her.
They spoke almost at the same time.
"Xiao Xuan, I have something to ask you."
"Sister Xuan, I have something to ask you."
Chu Xuan walked up to Liu Zhaodi with a calm expression, "Zhaodi is young, please come to the room with me to talk about it first!"
Hope she won't let her down.
