Chapter 13: The Empty Shirt
This time the purchase was much faster, the proprietress of Zhou Ji Woolen Shop saw that Fei Lingyi had only entered 4 catties the day before yesterday, and today she came to buy 12 catties, she couldn't help but smile, Fei Lingyi took the opportunity to let her send some crochet needles.
The proprietress scolded with a smile, "You little girl, you are not very old, but you are a goblin in business, 6 yuan and 1 catty, where can you find such a good bulking thread, and I want to send you a crochet needle." ”
"If you don't send it, if you don't send it, I won't buy it." Saying that he really put down the line and was going to leave.
The proprietress was in a hurry, she was really afraid that she would make the business yellow for this little thing, so she gritted her teeth and sent 6 crochet needles, "Just send it this time, not as an example." ”
Fei Lingyi said with a smile: "I want 6 more, 1 catty of thread to send one, just this time, not as an example, not as an example." "When I left, I didn't forget to ask the proprietress for a big cardboard box, and I didn't install the thread, but I dismantled the thread and tied it together and carried it on my shoulder.
The proprietress was a little strange, "You want a cardboard box, I thought you used it to load threads, a good box, why did you dismantle it." ”
Fei Lingyi smiled: "I have my own usefulness." ”
The stall is big, Fei Lingyi estimates that the non-staple food store should have an opinion, this day she arrived at the door of the non-staple food store, and she was not in a hurry to set up a stall, and when the boss came, she asked Cui Yuechan to guard the things, and she quietly helped people open the door, and after the door panel was removed, she lifted the broom to help people clean up, which made the boss very embarrassed.
"Girl, I don't embarrass you for setting up that stall, you don't have to do this for me."
Fei Lingyi wiped the sweat from her face, "Uncle, I want to discuss something with you." You see that I set up a stall at your door every day, and I feel embarrassed, so I discussed with my mother to give you some money. Now I haven't made any money, so I'll give you 5 cents a day for the time being, and when my business is good, I'll give you another 1 yuan. ”
I got 5 cents for no reason, how could it not work? The man hurriedly said, "Eh! It doesn't matter if you have money or not, I mainly see that you, a little girl, will do things and fall in love with me. ”
Fei Lingyi spread the cardboard box brought back from the city on the ground, and then placed the thread on it.
When the owner of the grocery store saw this, he slowly paced over, "Little girl, let me give you a suggestion, I have two benches in my shop, you take them out and put them on the shelves, and then lay the door panels on them, so that you can do business." ”
Fei Lingyi understood what he meant, he was anxious to get 1 yuan for the booth fee. However, he happily said, "Thank you, uncle." ”
The ground is uneven, the stool feet are not flat, the door panel is also a little warped, it took a lot of effort, and finally put the stall up, Fei Lingyi looked at his work with satisfaction, the front was placed with the finished product, and the back was full of various colored puffed threads, a woven hollow long-sleeved shirt, swaggeringly placed in the most eye-catching place, a little interesting.
She asked the boss for a high stool and asked Cui Yuechan to sit and knit a sweater.
The day before yesterday, several women came, and when they saw the empty shirts on the board, they exclaimed, "Wow, this is the empty shirts, people in Shanghai just know how to wear clothes, but I don't know if I look good in them." ”
Fei Lingyi said with a smile: "If you try it, you will know." ”
Several people took turns trying it on, and everyone felt good "It's just, this flower looks so complicated, can I learn it?" ”
"Huh! What are you afraid of, isn't this me? I teach you. ”
5 people all chose their favorite colors, 3 taels per person, plus a crochet needle, one dollar, 4 yuan per person, and a total of 20 yuan for 5 people.
Someone came to buy small shoes and socks, Fei Lingyi saw these people looking at her expectantly, and said with a smile: "I'll do business first, you guys will go to the group first." ”
The people who passed by saw so many people gathered here in the regimental line, and they were a little curious, so they also came over to take a look, and soon joined the regimental army. Someone fell in love with the sample of that empty shirt and insisted on buying it, this is a sample, how to sell the line after it is sold? Fei Lingyi gritted her teeth and just didn't sell it.
There are not many people in the countryside who can crochet, most of them are beginners, and some are slow to respond. Fei Lingyi has a characteristic, she usually has a bad temper, but as long as she is doing business, she is kind to everyone. These people buy a crochet and thread for 4 yuan alone, the cost is 1 yuan and 8 cents, and the gross profit of 2 yuan and 2 cents is for the sake of these 2 yuan and 2 cents, and she will take the trouble to teach.
The sun went down, the grocery store was waiting to close with the door panel, and the people who learned were reluctant to leave, and made an appointment to come back the day after tomorrow. Put the stall away, sweep the floor again, and carefully close the door for the boss, take out 1 yuan, and hand it to the boss, "Uncle, this is today's apportionment, you collect it." ”
"Didn't you say that you should give 5 cents, why do you give 1 yuan?" The boss said politely
"Today's first day, I want to be auspicious, and I will have a good business in the future, and I won't forget you."
The boss looked at Cui Yuechan enviously, "Old sister-in-law, you are blessed, your daughter is so capable, how did you teach it?" ”
Cui Yuechan has been in a fog these days, feeling a little unable to catch up with her daughter's rhythm, listening to what the boss said, she didn't know how to answer, so she only replied without asking: "This child's life is hard, so uncle should take care of it more." ”
Today's harvest is not small, a total of 173 yuan and 5 cents were sold, Fei Lingyi said: "Mom, let's not eat potatoes, buy two handfuls of noodles and cook them at home, and work hard." ”
Cui Yuechan asked worriedly: "There are not many lines left, don't you go to the city to buy goods?" ”
"Let's take it slowly, go home and knit a few more clothes out, sell more money and then go to buy."
Fei Lingyi went to the city to buy goods this day, and saw a few old bicycles on the side of the street, with the words "sold at a low price" written on them, she touched the money in the bag, and stepped forward, "How to sell this bicycle?" ”
The car seller saw that it was a young girl who was dressed very well, and the lion opened his mouth: "The girl wants to buy a car?" Sure enough, there is eyesight, this car is eighty percent new, and the new car can't be bought for 120 yuan less, if you really like it, 50 yuan will be given to you. ”
Fei Lingyi pouted, "50 yuan, you better keep yourself and ride slowly." Don't think I don't understand, this car is at least three years old, you see, although the paint color does not look old, but this steel rim is rusty like this, and the brake pads are almost worn out, and they are still eighty percent new. ”
The boss saw that Fei Lingyi was always saying, "Girl, if you want to buy it sincerely, you can pay back the price, if you think this car is old, buy a new car, don't talk about things here." ”
"I'll give you 10 yuan for this car."
"10 bucks?" The boss jumped up and said, "Let's go, buy a bicycle for 10 yuan, and dream about you." ”
"This car is half off when you buy it, 120 yuan is only worth 60 yuan, and after three years of riding, 50 yuan, this is not robbing people, right? So, I'll add some more, just 12 yuan, if you want, I'll buy it. ”
Fei Lingyi wanted to settle accounts with the boss, but after calculating it, it couldn't be counted as 12 yuan, so she had to say vaguely.
The boss gritted his teeth, "15 yuan, a lot of points, agree, give the money, you take the car, don't agree, you keep the money, the car is still mine." ”
"Okay, 12 is 12." Fei Lingyi happily took out the money, counted it to the boss, and then rode away.
With a bicycle, she was much more efficient, and she rode her bicycle around the city slowly.
There were a lot of people on this street, and she couldn't walk anymore on her bicycle, so she jumped out of the car and walked slowly holding on to her bicycle.
A stall caught her eye, and she locked the car next to it and walked in. A middle-aged woman greeted her: "Look at it casually, do you like it?" There are all kinds of wool for adults and children. ”
Fei Lingyi carefully looked at the workmanship and style of the sweater, "Is this all bulky?" ”
"Jokes, I'm a genuine wool, pure wool."
"Sister, Ming people don't say dark words, I also do this business, that is, the bulking line, what we buy is the bulking line. If the quantity is large, how to say the price. ”
The boss laughed embarrassedly, "It turns out that I met a peer, you say, how to measure Dafa?" ”
"Let's be honest, I'll buy and sell, sell in the township, and if the price is right, I'll buy it from you."
The boss is also very cheerful, "Okay, I can show you the purchase list, you can add some hardship fees appropriately." ”
"Sister, I definitely won't read the purchase list, you still have rebates, let's negotiate the price of one piece of clothing."
When Fei Lingyi rode a bicycle and went home with a large bag of things, Cui Yuechan was startled, "Where did you get your bicycle, and when did you learn to ride a bicycle?" ”
Fei Lingyi smiled: "I bought an old car, 15 yuan, and I don't have to wait for the bus when I ride to buy goods." Mother. In fact, riding a bicycle is not difficult at all, and you can learn it too. ”
Cui Yuechan helped her daughter take down the things on the back seat of the bicycle, "Hey, sweaters, why did you think of selling sweaters again?" ”
"Mom, you knit sweaters every day, your fingers are broken, there are too many people who want to buy finished products, and they can't be busy, so let's buy some and sell them first."
"But don't people name it and make it up by hand?"
"It's up to the guests to choose, it's really hand-knitted, just wait."
