Chapter 17: Blades in the Rain
Ball socks 2.5 yuan a pair? It's just a little bit higher than her purchase price. If you add in the road and freight, you will have to lose money.
What about playing? Will you do business!?
And the family of three saw that the sale next door was so cheap, and they would definitely not look back at the eldest lady again.
Squatting in front of Qi Lei's booth, he first picked up the socks and took a good look at them, and pulled them.
Qi Lei greeted carefully, "You can rest assured of quality!" If you are not satisfied with it, you will return it and replace it. ”
When the man heard this, he was relieved. I put down my socks, looked at something else, and finally said, "Why is this cheap?" ”
Qi Lei replied, "Factory price direct sales!" ”
"Oh." The man understood, "That's really beneficial!" ”
Whether it is 1998 or 2018, direct sales at factory prices, without middlemen to make the difference, are the most bullish promotional slogans.
The man just kept his head picked, while the woman stared at the high-end goods in the back row.
Pointing to one of the stockings, "How much is this?" ”
Although the price was not written, people also understood that it was a good thing, and it was impossible to spend five dollars and three pairs, and the cheapness was not so occupied.
Qi Lei: "This 18. Nylon, not silk, but a big brand, the quality is absolutely fine, sister can open a pair to see the quality. It's okay, it's okay if you don't buy it, I have to have a sample anyway. ”
When the woman heard this, she was quite happy, 18 yuan is not a small amount of money for ordinary people, and she didn't dare to buy it casually.
I really opened the package and took a good look, it was really good, so I took it in my hand and didn't put it down.
The lady over there saw that this meant to be bought, and she was about to cry urgently.
Do you have a long brain? Do you really want to buy it? Buy mine! I'm only selling for fifteen, and I can still bargain!
Maybe it was the mother's broken thoughts that played a role, and the woman took it in her hand, but she just thought about it, but in the end she didn't buy it, and she was a little reluctant to pay 18 yuan.
In the end, the family bought two pairs of socks for the child, and the couple took two women's socks and one pair of men's socks, because the price was the same, five yuan and three pairs.
Moreover, the family who was trying to bargain with the eldest lady was very happy this time, and they didn't talk about ten yuan, and they paid it without mentioning it.
This made the eldest lady breathe a sigh of relief, and scolded in her heart, I sold five pairs of socks for ten yuan, and I can't kill you, a bunch of losers!
However, if Qi Lei is so agitated, her sock business will not be able to do.
There is such a big sign there, who can't see it? This is the real loss of money and making money, and the eldest lady would never dare to do such a business.
However, there is no socks business on her side, but the people on Qi Lei's side are getting together more and more, getting together more and more.
It can only be said that there are cheap customers, and it will not take a while to squeeze in.
It's all picked there, and there is no problem with the quality, not fake and shoddy goods that bluff people, so they pay for the transaction.
At first, the eldest lady was still staring, and at the same time gloating: I will pay you to death! Kill you three little bastards!
But after a while, some people actually bought high-end goods, and they made their faces green!
I wailed in my heart, I'm cheaper than his, and the quality is not bad, why doesn't anyone ask? You come, you come, you come!
His ordinary socks are indeed cheap, but those high-end goods are not cheap at all! Silly or not?
I'm scolding in my heart....? Sell another pair!!
Cha! The eldest lady is unbalanced, and the psychological gap is too big, so she will sell two pairs in a while.
And then....
Sell another pair ....
Sell two more pairs!!
The eldest lady wants to hang herself, and her life is not glorious.
Fortunately, she not only sells socks, but also other small commodities, otherwise she would have to let Qi Lei squeeze to death, and she would have to change places immediately.
On Qi Lei's side, as there are more and more people, Qi Lei can't take care of it alone, and the quail-like Tang Yi and Wu Ning have to go up to help.
It's just that when Tang Xiaoyi took the five yuan given by the guest, his hands were shaking.
Not because of shame, but ... I can't put that feeling into words.
He is determined to gnaw at the old Tang for the rest of his life, and he has made up his mind to spend money, regardless of making money.
But when I got the first money I earned on my own in my life, I felt like I couldn't say it, I really couldn't say it!
Don't look at it, it's just five yuan, but the feeling of taking a dozen old man's heads from Old Tang is completely different.
Tang Xiaoyi's blood surged, and his whole body was hot.
Well, that's covered!
It was getting dark, because Qi Lei deliberately chose a location under the street lamp, so there was no need to think about the lighting.
In the nearby area, except for the watermelon cart of a melon farmer diagonally opposite, their sock stall is the most popular, attracting envious eyes from the left and right vendors.
Mean will say, very energetic guy, why don't you go to school and do this?
More will sigh, "Look at this guy, it's really exciting!" ”
At this time, Tang Xiaoyi and Wu Xiaobei couldn't care so much, how could they do their work with sunglasses when the black light was on fire? I took it off a long time ago, and I left my coat behind.
Hot! It's hot at work, and it's hot too!
Although it is mainly Qi Lei who deals with the guests in the front, the things of collecting money and sorting out the stalls are enough for them to be busy.
That feeling.... Thief permeable.
On the side of the street not far away, a pair of old couples looked at Qi Lei silently through the crowd.
It is not difficult for some vendors to find that the old couple have been standing there for more than an hour, staring at the sock stall without touching the nest.
At this time, Grandma Qi helped Qi Haiting, "Go back, what is there to see?" There are a lot of people, and you can't make money! ”
The old grandmother has been chattering for a long time, there are a lot of people, and it is really cheap, but where can I make money? Pure nonsense.
"Cheng Gang and Lianshan are monkey spirits, and our monarch is not bad. But you see, this stupid boy is not the material for trading! ”
Qi Haiting was glaring, "What do you know!?" Whether you make money or not, it's all called ability! ”
The old man came with anxiety, but now he is happier than anyone else.
In his eyes, his eldest grandson is going to heaven.
What's wrong with making money or not? I'm only sixteen years old, are you afraid that you won't make money?
Sixteen-year-olds are afraid that you don't even think about the future, you don't dare!
In his eyes, the stone can pull down this face, that is the ability.
"That's much better than his father!"
Grandma Qi rolled her eyes, "Your eldest grandson is good, right?" Let's go? Let's go back! ”
Qi Haiting ignored it, looked at it for a while, and then put his hands behind his back, "Back!" ”
At this time, there were a lot of people in the night market, and it was very noisy, and the brothers had no chance to see the majestic back of the old man Qi.
However, years later, people ask the trio where they started and at what point they will proudly say, "'98.... Sock Stand ..... Sixteen years old! ”
Starting at ten o'clock, the night market gradually decreases the number of people, unlike later generations, the night market can be open until the second half of the night. Usually people go to bed early, and after eleven o'clock, there are not even a few people on the street.
The vendors also began to close their stalls one after another, and the little brother didn't have a little leisure until this time.
Only then did I find that the T-shirt was soaked and full of sweat.
Wu Xiaobei sat on the ground with his butt crossed, as if in a dream.
I wiped my face, and the sweat on my lips was bitter and salty.
As for the thoughts, feelings......
I didn't have any ideas, let alone feelings, just one thought, "Stone, shall we take it?" ”
"Close!"
Qi Lei gave an order, Tang Yi and Wu Ning were amnesty, Wu Xiaobei bounced up from the ground, and divided the stall by two with three strokes and five times.
Before leaving, I didn't forget to say goodbye to the lady next door.
Godo, polite kid!
However, in the end, he warmly added, "Auntie, let's change places tomorrow, it's hard to do business!" ”
I didn't carry my back to the big girl, the bear should play, you wait!
She basically didn't sell any socks this night, and her business was not as good as before.
……
The brother can be said to be wearing the stars and the moon, pushing the cart and returning to Grandpa Qi Lei's house.
The day before, Qi Lei asked his grandfather for the door key, afraid that he would come back late and disturb the old man.
As a result, I tiptoed into the hospital to see that my grandparents were not sleeping, sitting in the house and watching TV!
The reason for the brother is that he can't sleep.
This makes Qi Lei very strange, you must know that after the grandfather's operation, before nine o'clock, grandma must put the old man on the bed and not allow him to stay up late.
Why haven't you slept even past eleven o'clock today?
didn't ask much, told the old man to rest quickly, and hurriedly retreated.
On the way home, the brothers rode a car and sped on the empty streets, Tang Yi and Wu Ning changed their previous commotion and did not say a word.
Qi Lei knew that it was normal to have no words, the two of them didn't accept it so quickly, and they were forced to have no choice today, and they still needed a process.
But unexpectedly, Tang Xiaoyi, who was riding in the front, suddenly screamed and howled heartbreakingly, and the whole street had to wake him up.
As soon as he shouted, Wu Xiaobei also roared, startling Qi Lei.
These two brothers are suffocated!
