Chapter 53: Betting
Dong Fangyuan kept following behind Gu Lan without making a sound, watching Gu Lan skillfully deliver and weigh the scales with the shopkeeper Wang. I didn't expect this little girl to make money so skillfully that she thought she was a regular businessman.
And the shopkeeper Wang was also polite to Gu Lan, this little girl has a set of ways to interact with people.
I just don't know what's in the big package on her back?
Gu Lan carried the package directly into the door of the cloth shop, and the sister-in-law of the cloth shop saw Gu Lan come in and greeted him enthusiastically, "Miss Gu, what do you want to buy this time?" ”
Gu Lan replied with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I don't buy anything this time, I'm here to sell something." ”
When the sister-in-law of the cloth shop heard that Gu Lan was here to sell things, she was a little unhappy in her heart, and she opened the door to sell things, but others actually sold things to her own store.
But Gu Lan was an old customer after all, and he was embarrassed to drive her away, so he asked casually, "Miss Gu, what are you selling here?" ”
"Selling rag dolls." Gu Lan opened the package as he spoke, and the plush and cute rag doll in the package was revealed, which was processed overnight from Gu Lan's leftovers from the sister-in-law of the cloth shop last time.
"Wow! What a cute little thing. The sister-in-law of the cloth shop was immediately attracted by the fluffy dolls in the package.
Because it was the first time to sell, Gu Lan put a lot of thought into making these rag dolls, and the flower cloth used for the doll's body was also made of light yarn to make a canopy skirt, which looked foreign and beautiful.
"Miss Gu, how did you come up with the idea of doing this? These dolls are so beautifully made! "The sister-in-law of the cloth shop was completely attracted to the rag dolls. The previous unhappiness was forgotten.
"I came up with it, the last time I saw so many polygonal scraps, it was a pity to waste it, so I used it and thought that it would be made into a doll and sold for some money."
"But I like it, but I can't buy so much! I'll just buy one or two. The sister-in-law of the cloth shop looked embarrassed.
"Sister-in-law, you misunderstood what I meant, I didn't mean to sell it to you, if you like it, I'll give you one or two." Gu Lan explained with a smile.
"Oh? That Miss Gu meant ....... The sister-in-law wondered.
"That's right, this is the first time I've sold this rag doll, and I don't know how much it sells. I put these rag dolls in my sister-in-law's shop, and when someone came to buy fabrics, my sister-in-law helped introduce them. I don't know what my sister-in-law thinks?
When the sister-in-law of the cloth shop heard this, this matter was beneficial and harmless to herself, but she just occupied a position in the store, and she could get a share of the money if she sold it, and this rag doll was really cute, and it was a novelty, so she should be able to sell it.
Thinking of this, the sister-in-law of the cloth shop readily agreed, "Okay, I'll help you sell it." It's better to be able to sell, you and I have money to make. The sister-in-law of the cloth shop also spoke bluntly.
Gu Lan saw that the sister-in-law of the cloth shop agreed, and he was also happy in his heart. The last time she came to buy fabrics, she took a fancy to this sister-in-law's flexible brain, good at sales, and her temperament was also refreshing.
Gu Lan counted the rag dolls in the package and handed them to the sister-in-law of the cloth shop, and asked the sister-in-law of the cloth shop to fiddle with it herself.
The sister-in-law of the cloth shop was very interested in these rag dolls, and happily took them to the counter to set them up.
After the sister-in-law of the cloth shop finished fiddling with it, she remembered that she didn't give the rag dolls a price, so she asked Gu Lan, "Miss Gu, what price should these dolls sell for?" ”
Gu Lan didn't know how much these rag dolls should sell for, so he touched his head and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, I don't know what price to set?"
This rag doll is filled with rags, and the outside is also leftovers, the cost is not expensive, but it is more troublesome to make by hand, Gu Lan rushed for a few nights, and only made these dozen out.
The sister-in-law of the cloth shop doesn't know how much the price of the rag doll is?
Just when the two of them stared at each other, Dong Fangyuan on the side spoke, "Twenty Wen." ”
Gu Lan and the sister-in-law of the cloth shop looked at Dong Fangyuan at the same time, and were stared at by the eyes of the two women, Dong Fangyuan did not feel embarrassed at all. Accepting the gaze of the two generously, seeing Gu Lan's gaze falling on him, Dong Fangyuan had a very useful sense of joy.
After this little girl came to the bazaar, she was so busy making money that she didn't even look at herself, which made Dong Fangyuan very hurt.
Walking on the street, the girls are 100% looking back at themselves, and the love in their eyes is so obvious.
This little girl ignored herself so clearly, as if there was no one around her.
Seeing that the two of them were struggling with pricing, they couldn't help but open their mouths.
He walks around outside all year round, and naturally knows the prices of goods in various places, this rag doll looks pleasing to the eye, he has never seen this kind of thing, I am afraid that it is a rare thing, and there must be a lot of people who buy it.
This price is just right, suitable for this small mountain village, if it is sold in the capital, I am afraid that it will cost a few taels of silver.
Gu Lan approached Dong Fangyuan and looked him left and right.
"Why didn't I find out you were in business?" It's not interesting to have a good idea still hidden! Well! ”
The corners of Dong Fangyuan's mouth twitched, she was kindly helping her, she didn't appreciate it, she was still so venomous.
Seeing Gu Lan teasing such a handsome boy, the sister-in-law of the cloth shop on the side laughed secretly in her heart, pulled Gu Lan and said, "This son's price is reasonable, we might as well use it first." If it really doesn't work, let's change it and reprice. ”
Gu Lan disagreed, this was her first business, and she didn't want to be ruined because of the price. The price should be set reasonably so that the buyer can accept it.
She felt that Dong Fangyuan's price was too high, and the twenty yuan could buy fifty catties of bud grain, in this small mountain village, the peasants regarded food as more expensive than their lives, who would take so much grain for a rag doll? This rag doll is a pastime, and its price should be suitable for all classes. In modern times, every poor student buys a rag doll.
Dong Fangyuan has always lived in the upper circle, and in his eyes, the price of twenty wen is already very low. But in the eyes of the toiling people, the price is very high. You can't buy rag dolls, but you can't skip eating?
After listening to Gu Lan's analysis, the sister-in-law of the cloth shop and Dong Fangyuan had different expressions, the sister-in-law of the cloth shop had a new understanding of Gu Lan, this Gu girl analyzed the market very well, and it seemed that the price of the son was set a little high.
Dong Fangyuan was surprised, but he didn't expect this little girl to give him another surprise, this little girl is not only good at grasping the psychology of buyers, but also more valuable is that she can empathize and consider problems from the perspective of others. In this way, the decisions she makes are always in her favor.
This little girl is cunning and smart, and she is still very assertive.
"Then what price does Miss Gu think we should set?" The sister-in-law of the cloth shop asked.
"It's set at fifteen!" Gu Lan thought about it, the price is neither high nor low, the key is that ordinary people can afford it. Those little girls who like rag dolls can afford their own private money even if they don't want adults to pay for it.
In this ancient era when men were inferior to women, for girls, parents generally did not give pocket money, but they always had a way to save some private money. is like the doll that Gu Lan bought, which was bought with the New Year's money.
