Chapter 17: The Old Man
There are not many people doing business, so Lin Guo looked around and found a small stall in the corner. The family didn't sell either, if it weren't for Lin Guo's sharp eyes, he wouldn't have found out. The sesame flatbread is three cents a piece, the taste is soft and moderate, with a thick layer of sesame seeds on it, Lin Guo ate two in one go, and drank a bowl of cabbage soup, packed four sheets when he left, and prepared to go back to the old man and aunt, which cost more than two cents.
Lin Guo sighed that it was so cheap, what could you buy in modern times? A piece of sugar was not enough.
In addition to eating forest fruits and observing carefully, most of the girls on the street were dressed simply, with cyan, green, and gray as the main colors, and a single decoration on their heads, and she also saw a girl with a red head rope tied to her head. Loving beauty is the eternal truth of women. Lin Guo thought of making some headdresses and selling them, this kind of small thing has a small cost and high output, and she is confident that it will be welcomed.
The eldest uncle Liu An brought this son Liu Zhonghui with him, Liu Zhonghui is the same age as Lin Guo, and people look at the high and special spirit, but the expression is serious and the same as the eldest uncle, like a little old man.
The sister-in-law wanted Lin Guo to go back to rest, and in the future, Lin Guo would come over to help during the day, and Liu Zhonghui would keep vigil at night. Lin Guo didn't agree, Liu Zhonghui is already in his third year of high school this year, and it is the most critical time. Fortunately, the eldest uncle is at the leadership level, so it is more convenient to ask for leave. My aunt can't do it, now the competition for jobs in the city is fierce, it's really a radish and a pit.
In the end, the eldest uncle made a decision, the eldest uncle came during the day, and at night Lin Guo and the eldest aunt alternately came to guard.
The aunt's house is more than 70 square meters, two bedrooms and one living room, just entered the house, the heat came to the face, Lin Guo was about to cry with nostalgia, there was no geothermal heat and it was so relaxed, the key was to say goodbye to the fire and the hard kang.
Save time to look for ready-to-wear stores during the day, she doesn't need a whole piece of fabric, small pieces can be made, ready-to-wear stores are the best choice, and more importantly, the supply and marketing cooperatives buy cloth to ask for cloth tickets.
Lin Guo picked this point of the store is not big, the sewing machine came out of the sound of "Kaka", the shopkeeper is a woman in her forties, looked up at the people, and said with a smile, "Girl, make clothes!"
Lin Guo shook his head, "I want to ask you if you sell fabrics?"
Zhang Fang is also strange, how can she buy clothes and go to the ready-to-wear store without going to the store? Seeing that the girl is not old and not dressed well, it is estimated that it is the first time to enter the city and I don't understand, but it is quite affordable, "I don't want to buy fabrics, I am not cheap, you go across the street, there is a supply and marketing cooperative." β
Lin Guo hurriedly waved his hand, this person was quite sincere. "I didn't mean that, I wondered if you had any leftovers from making clothes. β
The remaining leftovers can't be used to make clothes, and many people use them to put together a sheet or something. This is a little embarrassing, "Silly girl, my clothes are all made according to size, and there is no left." Even if there is left, the fabric is bought with money, and people have to take it away when they finish it. β
Lin Guo was dumbfounded, this was completely unexpected by her. What did she use for her headdress without fabric, was she too naΓ―ve to think about everything? She always thought that she could live well away from that so-called home, a little too confident, right?
Zhang Fang looked at the girl with a depressed expression, she just didn't buy the leftovers, why was she so sad? Could it be that there was something hidden at home. Well, women are the most popular, and for a while, a variety of pictures flashed in Zhang Fang's mind, "I have a piece of material here, why don't you take a look?" Lin Guo's appearance was really pitiful.
Lin Guo hurriedly nodded.
The bright red cloth is more than three feet long, and many of it has been eaten through holes by insects. Zhang Fang was a little embarrassed, this was the last time she bought it cheaply, and she originally wanted to make a quilt for her newborn granddaughter, with some simple embroidery on it, and she couldn't see anything at all. How do you know that the girl doesn't look down on it. Who can buy it if it is bitten by insects? The big red can't wear it out by himself, if it weren't for Lin Guolai, he would have forgotten that there was this.
Lin Guo was pleasantly surprised, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the mood at the moment with another village. forcibly suppressed the excitement, "Sister, just give me this piece of material, you can give a price!"
Seeing that the little girl was thin and young, Zhang Fang felt like a liar, and asked hesitantly, "Why don't you go home and ask the adults to come again." β
"Don't worry, I've done it, just give a price. Lin Guo's tone was firm, and when he saw the fabric, he thought of several head flowers in his mind.
I am also happy that someone can buy Zhang Fang, "Give me five cents for one foot of fabric, and you can give me a piece of five for more than three feet here." β
Lin Guo silently converted it in her heart, she didn't have a cloth ticket to buy it at the supply and marketing cooperative, and the fabric was not like grain, and if she was lucky enough to encounter high-priced grain, she could buy it, and this price was very cost-effective. She should be more on fire for the future supply of fabrics.
"Yes, you can help me put it up. Also, if there are any leftover leftovers in the future, can you help me collect some of them?" Lin Guo said as he took out the money.
"What's the use of asking for those. β
Lin Guo smiled and said nothing, he bought a lot of small things such as needlework and thread, and it was quite affordable to listen to the boss. It is impossible to leave home before there is no capital, and it takes more than an hour to take a bus into the city at a time. It's not cost-effective, and it will be a lot more convenient if you can consign it at the boss's house. Of course, this is all an idea at the moment, and it needs to be considered.
Lin Lin spent a total of five yuan, Zhang Fangmei smiled, this is also more than income. "My surname is Zhang, you will call me Sister Zhang in the future!"
The two agreed to buy leftovers in the future, and Lin Guo left two more yuan as collateral, took the receipt and left.
The cloth was bitten very seriously, but fortunately, Lin Guo made a small headdress, each with a small headpiece, simple bows, flowers and other styles. A total of three models have been made, and this kind of thing is very easy to imitate, and Lin Guo plans to launch two or three new models every week. You have to defend against people, and Sister Zhang will lose more than she gains if she leaves her.
The uncle came to see the old man the next day and gave twenty yuan, but the others didn't see the shadows, Lin Guo estimated that his father and mother forgot about the back of his head, and they would be happier if they didn't go back. Lin Guo didn't care, the life of the eldest aunt's family was the most free to live since she was reborn, except for occasionally thinking that her chest at home was a little blocked.
