So Qian Duo asked for directions and went to the so-called wholesale market, ready to look for something that could be used to make rings and prizes. When he saw a shop that sold jewelry and head flowers, he suddenly remembered that the head flowers in this store, the jewelry was made by Gu's mother, the store provided materials, and Gu's mother and some women were responsible for processing.

Qian Duo went up to ask the shopkeeper how to calculate the money for raw materials, and the shopkeeper replied that there are two situations, one is to provide raw materials that do not need money and give money to you, that is, to provide processing services for the store. This is the work done by Gu's mother.

The second is to sell raw materials directly, and good heads such as cloth elastic ropes cost five cents a piece, and those with poor quality cost three cents a piece. And the more shiny head clamp, the headband will be a hair.

Qian Duo directly asked the price of the finished product, and the store, seeing that Qian Duo kept asking, frowned slightly but still answered.

"Pretty hair flowers sell for a dime and eight cents, and ordinary ones sell for a dime and three cents. The head clamp is sold for three cents, and the headband is sold for three cents and two cents. Little girl, you see I told you so much, what do you want to buy? The boss obviously didn't have much hope, and his tone was more perfunctory, with a hint of teasing the child.

This can't be blamed on the boss, looking at Qian Duo so thin, he guessed that he was only nine years old. And there are a lot of patches on the clothes, and there is no money at first glance.

Qian Duo quickly calculated in his heart, Gu's mother processed a good head flower, and the store gave a three-point processing fee and a general head flower a two-cent processing fee. And the processing technology such as the head clamp is a little more exquisite, and Gu's mother has no technology and some equipment to process it.

Gu's mother worked tirelessly to make more than a dozen head flowers, and she got so many cents, and the store paid a little bit to sell a head flower to make a net dime.

Qian Duo saw that the time was almost up, so he carefully selected two headbands and a relatively simple headband, and then selected 10 bags of headflower materials.

This is the owner of the store who can't believe Qian Duo's behavior, can such a young child take out the money, I'm afraid it won't be stolen, right?

Because the average child's pocket money is a lot of three or four cents, the boss is naturally shocked when the money is taken out for more than a dollar.

Qian Duo felt that it was still necessary to explain, after all, if you want to buy here for a long time, it is easy to cause misunderstanding if you don't explain it clearly.

"This is all my New Year's savings, boss, just wipe those odds for me, right? I don't have much money, so I'll be sure to help you next time. ”

The boss is also a cheerful person, and when he saw Qian Duo's explanation, he obviously believed it: "Okay, it's cheaper to see if you buy so much." Forget about two cents, two cents a piece. ”

After giving more money, put the things you bought into the basket of eggs: "Thank you, boss, I wish you a prosperous business." ”

"Okay, okay, you little girl has a really sweet mouth, and you know the idiom that business is prosperous." The boss was clearly amused and smiled from ear to ear.

Qian Duo went to the commissary in the back and bought a dozen candies for two cents, all kinds of things.

Of course, she didn't eat it, but they gave it to the children in their village. Intend to do a barter business. Children who can make crickets and garlands can exchange them for candy.

The children in the village are very rare for the candy in the city, because in Gu Qiqi's memory, the children in the village rarely go out to the city.

The snacks eaten are all local fruits from mountain villages. Or the merchants come here, and they beg their parents so that they can eat the candy in the city.

Qian Duo went back and handed over the money to Gu's mother, who was obviously very happy after receiving the money. praised Qian Duo, and specially boiled a sugar egg for Qian. At this time, Gu's father had not returned.

Qian Duo hid the things he bought in the pillow on his bed, and then ate the sugar eggs peacefully, thinking about the next step.
