Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Little Fox Who Sells Straw Shoes!
Ah Bai has become the main productive force, so naturally what to do first and then what to do is all up to her.
Du Feiyu knows the severity, he knows when to collect and when to release.
When he came into the world, he heard some stories:
In order to show their awesomeness, some people always like to speak alone, and they have to decide everything themselves.
Even if it's something you don't understand, you have to pretend that you know it better than anyone else, and you're afraid of falling behind.
Lao Du felt that this was simply unreasonable. As far as he is concerned, isn't it also glorious to let Ah Bai occasionally.
Li Mubai found half a cart of cattail grass from the outskirts of the city, which was a good material for weaving. And Du Feiyu went to the tailor shop to measure a few feet of fabric according to Ah Bai's request. They are relatively cheap fabrics similar to nylon and cotton.
After thinking about it for a while, Ah Bai felt that the slippers were laborious to deal with, so he decided to start with those plain hats first.
Plain straw hats and cloth hats are not particularly desirable because they are not particularly distinctive and easy to get dirty.
The main selling point of this hat is a small and fresh style.
It's just that no matter how small and fresh you are, you have to look at the face, and there are always people who wear this kind of round-brimmed hat and look like a peasant.
After all, although the corn cob and sorghum stalks are also quite fresh, they don't look like a taste.
Ah Bai's eyes swept over, and with a click, he cut a notch in the brim of the old-fashioned hat. Then she took a red cotton strap and tied a gentle silk knot on the dome of the hat.
When one hat was finished, she grabbed another round hat and decisively changed it from a bowler hat to an open hat.
After changing it for a long time, Bai laughed to himself. She put down the work in her hand and said to Du Feiyu:
"I can't change it anymore. If you change it, the style will become more and more strange. ”
Du Feiyu nodded:
"Part of it is left as is, and part of it is the fashion model that you make. There is a visual contrast between the two goods, and it is the fashionable things that look fashionable. This way, customers know what they are buying. ”
Ah Bai pretended to nod his head:
"Hmm...... You have a point. I didn't even expect so much. ”
Du Feiyu didn't get angry when he heard it, he just spread his hands:
"It doesn't matter, that's the way. ”
"What else does the 'Dao' ask us to do?" Ah Bai bared his fangs and smiled a little wickedly, "Asking to go out and set up a stall now?"
Du Feiyu shook his finger:
"No, no, no, the current requirement of 'Dao' is, Snow Fox Bai Seventeen, please be sure to dress well and go out. ”
......
Ah Bai made an exception and wore the aqua blue skirt, stepped on white flat canvas shoes, and scattered his hair according to Du Feiyu's request.
With her black hair like a waterfall, coupled with a light walking posture, and a little snow fox's special snowflake effect, Ah Bai successfully attracted the eyes of many elderly people in the CB area.
A bright and glamorous girl, followed by a man in shabby clothes. If it weren't for the fact that most of the old people knew Du Feiyu, they would definitely think that this was a beautiful female college student volunteer who came to the grassroots poverty alleviation in CB District.
Under the amazed gaze all the way, Du Feiyu and Ah Bai arrived at a park in the northwest of the city, and Ah Bai sat down in front of a bench under a tree, put on a plain round-brimmed hat, and began to weave grass.
It turned out that Du Feiyu asked Ah Bai to wear it like this, not for anything else, just to sell hats.
He asked Bai to move what he did in the utility room to the street, and to do everything pleasing to the eye.
In his opinion, among the fox clan, the snow fox's charm is slightly inferior, but the aura is the best, and the dignified and beautiful sense of elegance in gestures is impossible for ordinary people to imitate.
And these fresh hats with a unique style, of course, let Ah Bai be the spokesperson of the work.
Therefore, Ah Bai didn't care about business, just became a little fairy, and concentrated on knitting his own straw sandals and straw hats.
More than a dozen pairs of straw sandals were braided, and several straw hats were made.
As the sun set, she felt tired, and when she looked up, she saw that the hat was almost sold out.
"Unexpectedly...... Is it selling so fast?" asked Ah Bai with some surprise.
"You, don't you know how many people are around?" Du Feiyu was also surprised, "There are so many people watching and I don't feel it, I don't even know if you are acting or telling the truth." ”
"I really don't know. The sect master asked me to concentrate on my work, and the slave family didn't care about anything. ”
“......”
A firmer mind than ordinary demon beasts, this is the valuable quality of Ah Bai as a Dao Heart Fox.
But Du Feiyu still didn't believe it in his heart, after all, this little fox was a drama spirit, and he couldn't guarantee that those sultry poses were not deliberately made by Ah Bai.
For example, slow down your movements, gently pull your hair behind your ears, or subconsciously bite your lip.
She has always known how to attract people's attention.
......
In the evening, Ah Bai's weaving work still did not stop. Pucao is tough, and if Bai is not careful, he will make another cut on his hand.
Du Feiyu was cooking, and just fried a few pancakes, seeing that Ah Bai was frowning slightly, he hurried over.
"What's wrong?"
Ah Bai smiled and shook his head:
"No, I'm fine. ”
"Come less, give me your hand. ”
Du Feiyu pulled Ah Bai's hand hidden in his arms. I saw that the original white and delicate hands were already covered with scars one after another.
Du Feiyu looked a little distressed, so he put on a straight face and said to Ah Bai:
"Don't try to hide it. Next time you're going to faint again, I'm definitely not going to save you. ”
Ah Bai was happy when he heard it:
"Sect Master, you are finally angry because of the slave family. ”
When Du Feiyu heard this, he only felt a heat on his face. He thought, after soaking in the world for too long, why is he becoming more and more like a layman?
But he didn't want to explain, he just put Ah Bai's little hand in the palm of his hand.
"Taoism, all things are born. ”
There seemed to be a spring breeze in the utility room, and there was a turquoise glow between the palms of the two people.
"Sect Master, you ......"
Ah Bai was anxious. This all-living Dao technique can heal injuries, but it also requires a large amount of aura output. With the sect master's current physical condition, how could he waste aura like this?
"Don't speak. ”
Du Feiyu replied without raising his head, and Ah Bai had to shut up obediently. After a while, the wounds were all healed, and Du Feiyu leaned against the wall tiredly.
"Really! You've wasted all the aura you've accumulated so hard!"
Ah Bai didn't seem very happy, but Du Feiyu flicked her head and said:
"Isn't there still you? Quick, teach me your method, and I'll help you weave straw sandals together." ”
"Hmm......"
Ah Bai had nothing to say. Sometimes, Du Feiyu never seemed to ask for her opinion.
"Well, just like this, remove the soles of your slippers...... Then make eight small holes in the edges. We walked through it with this dyed cattail...... Yes, yes, you can tie any knot you want, well, the flat knot looks good. ”
"The first step is to decorate the hem...... The one you're holding is a flip-flop. Let's make a new upper for it now. This is a piece of the sole that I just made up, and you put it on ......."
With ready-made materials, the two quickly made a pair of straw slippers. The three-layer color scheme, the organic combination of straw and plastic, and the quite cool texture, especially suitable for people who love to sweat their feet.
In this way, the trio formed a new fit. Du Feiyu and Li Mubai were selling in front of the stall, while Ah Bai was weaving on the edge of the stall. If there happens to be no one, let Li Mubai look at the stall, and he himself joins the ranks of weaving.
These products are very profitable. Indeed, when each pair of slippers is sold for twenty dollars, then the cost of eight dollars and five is nothing at all.
Even if the price is cut fiercely, at most fifteen yuan a pair is sold, and Du Feiyu will add a sentence after the sale, I will give you a cheap price, anyway, it looks good and is not expensive, do you want to take two pairs directly?
Li Mubai will follow and act next to him, either pretending to be heartbroken and saying how to sell it so cheaply, or he will stand on the side of the guests, follow along, and say, yes, it's cheaper, and people can buy more.
After five days, more than 3,000 yuan was recorded in the account. Du Feiyu calculated the numbers, the income from these stalls plus the income from occasionally helping people pull goods, after deducting the rather small cost of living, now he has almost seventeen thousand in his pocket.
It seems that in two or three days, the goal of 20,000 yuan can be achieved. Du Feiyu thought.
At this time, a beautiful girl with short hair appeared in front of the stall.
"What a coincidence, I'm here again!"
She said, Du Feiyu looked up at her, and Ah Bai next to her also stopped what he was doing.
"I want this hat!" the girl put the hat on her head, "how much?"
"20 pieces. Du Feiyu replied, as he began to think back to where he had seen her.
"Ah, these shoes look good, too! How much do they cost?"
“25。 ”
"Hmm...... Is it okay to be cheaper?" said the girl.
"How much cheaper do you want?" Du Feiyu asked rhetorically.
“...... "Hey," the girl was asked, "I, ...... Of course, the cheaper the better......"
"Come on, you buy two, I'll give you a whole number, a total of 40 yuan." ”
"Really?" the girl looked surprised.
Du Feiyu felt so bored all of a sudden. Why is this girl so unreasonable? With such a stupid way of bargaining, Du Feiyu has no motivation to raise prices.
But he remembered it, isn't this the Han girl who caused himself to be caught by the city management!
Ah Bai sensed something from Du Feiyu's eyes, and then put down his straw sandals and asked:
"Have you seen the boss anywhere?"
The girl laughed.
"Of course I did. Last time, before I finished buying my pants, he caught them for the chengguan. Moreover, I also know your hidden identity boss!"
"What?" Du Feiyu became vigilant.
"Aren't you the fortune teller, you don't seem to have much business, but you helped me at the tram stop!"
Is it that girl?
Du Feiyu felt that there were a lot of slots, so that he couldn't complain.
"Oh...... I don't even remember anything you said. ”
Du Feiyu smiled politely as he swept his afterglow towards Ah Bai.
I saw Ah Bai staring at the girl sharply for a while, and found that Du Feiyu was observing her, so he lowered his head again and began to weave straw shoes by himself.
But the girl didn't care about such small details at all. She took the thing and said goodbye with a smile:
"It's just a coincidence. Boss, I'm leaving. ”
The girl hummed a song and left.
Du Feiyu felt that Ah Bai must have a question to ask. Unexpectedly, Ah Bai just knitted straw shoes there and didn't ask a word.
You're talking. Du Feiyu thought to himself.
