I have a food city [infrastructure] Section 385
In the end, she almost sprinted into the warehouse, and the first thing she did when she opened the door was to check all the doors and windows, and then slumped to the ground under her sister's surprised eyes.
Jona took several deep breaths before she asked tremblingly, "All, all sold?" ”
Amy will have this reaction, there are only two possibilities, one is that the bow is unsalable, and they are going to lose money; Second, naturally, all the things he brought over were sold, and Amy was excited.
Amy gasped and nodded, her eyes shining: "It's all sold out!" ”
Jona's brain is buzzing.
You know, there are 300 bows she asked Amy to bring and sell!
One hundred hair ties, two hundred hair pins.
Hair ties are cheaper, but hair clips are obviously more versatile, they can be clipped to the hair tie after tying your hair, they can be clipped elsewhere as decoration, and they can even be clipped to clothes to add some beauty to a dusty outfit.
Therefore the hairpins sell better!
Black bows are actually the whitest, but in an age when everyone wears dark, dirt-resistant clothes, most people prefer bright and beautiful other colors.
Hair ties and hairpins are not something that they cannot afford to pay a fixed salary every day, but they are just a matter of reluctance.
But Amy showed everyone the charm of the bow hairpin, which tickled people's hearts, and they were willing to save money to buy dozens of copper coins of jewelry, and a bow of copper coins was nothing!
Even the kind of person who is extremely thrifty will be moved a lot when he sees that everyone has bought it.
And most people don't just buy one.
The difficulty of choosing is not a problem of two people, or the majority of people who will make difficulties because of choice.
Then one for each color is the best choice.
Especially for hairpins 3 copper coins 2, if you buy one, you either find someone to fight, or you can only spend 2 copper coins, which is inconvenient.
Why don't you just buy two!
The female workers who had a good relationship with Amy wore beautiful hairpins, and even the elderly women bought red bows for themselves at Amy's encouragement.
The red bow is a little dark red, bright but calm and atmospheric.
Girls will look bright and moving when they wear it, and when they are worn by younger and older women, they will have a dignified and luxurious atmosphere.
Love beauty is a thing that knows no age or gender.
I originally just wanted to buy one for my daughter, but when I saw that my peers looked so good on it, I immediately couldn't sit still.
If Amy hadn't slipped away quickly when she got off work, she would have been blocked at her desk.
Amy was talking about the sale of goods as she poured out all the copper coins in the compartment of her backpack.
Four hundred copper coins are like a small hill, and the feeling of four silver coins and four hundred copper coins is completely different, and the two sisters are breathing rapidly, and their eyes seem to be glowing with gold.
But Jona didn't dare to be immersed in such joy and excitement all the time.
"Quick, we need to seize this great opportunity to make some more money!"
Since you can be sure that this deal is easy to do, it must be how much money you can make before the competitors appear!
Jona also thought about making more products to put in first, and when they were on sale, they could grasp the heat as much as possible and sell them, so as to make as much money as they could before the followers appeared!
But they're short of money! If you can't get the first month's rent, how can you bear to stock up on enough goods before you start selling?
The sisters quickly calmed down and began to rush to work.
Because I specially told it yesterday, Fred also came to help after work.
Immediately after that, Dolly and Levy also ran over in a hurry.
Dolly had the most ideas, and when she saw that there were so many beautiful buttons, she immediately put down the work of helping to make the bow hairpins and went to flip the buttons.
"Second sister, you get this, this, and this all on the bow." Dolly said, "It's a lot of money to make such a simple bow!" There are a lot of rich people in our school, as long as you make it beautiful, it won't be a problem to sell a dozen copper coins! ”
These buttons are bought back by the catty, and the price of a catty ranges from 5-30 copper coins according to the pattern.
Even if you glue ten beautiful buttons to a bow, it won't cost more than 1 copper coin.
Sell it and easily earn more than ten times! The point is that if you have the time to make a dozen ordinary bows, you can make six or seven expensive bows!
As soon as Amy wanted to say that it would not sell, she saw Dolly rubbing against Amy like a caterpillar.
"I know, I know, I'll help you make fifty first."
Dolly bargained: "Only fifty?!" At least 100 of them! ”
Amy ended up making 80 for her.
Dolly was also satisfied.
The tuition fee of 3 silver coins a year is quite a lot, and the number of girls in the school is much smaller than that of boys.
In other words, most families who can send girls to school will not have much difficulty, and they are still the kind of families that are not too patriarchal.
Therefore, most of Amy's female classmates are quite rich.
She was also very rich before, and she still spent her own money! But now it's poor again.
Her mother gave her and her younger brother 10 copper coins every day, and of these 10 copper coins, 8 copper coins had to be spent on meals, breakfast and lunch had to cost money, breakfast in the school cafeteria was 1 copper coin, and lunch was 3 copper coins. You can choose to eat your own food, but the food in the school cafeteria obviously can't be bought outside for 4 copper coins.
There are soy milk and egg steamed buns for breakfast, two vegan dishes for lunch, a stir-fry with minced meat, and a bowl of soup.
This kind of food makes many families feel that "if you don't buy it, you will lose money".
As a result, no one will bring their own meals.
Although Dolly is very dissatisfied with the pocket money of only 1 copper coin a day, she is also reluctant to use the method of "skipping breakfast and lunch" to make herself "rich".
She's just getting into the eyes of money, she's not a fool!
But the idea of making money has never stopped.
Bow hairpins are her new way to make money!
Dolly's eyes were smiling as she thought about the bows turning into golden coins in her hands.
"Stop giggling, get to work!"
Dolly is also a workhorse! She and her younger brother used to be the main force in the family to make money by pasting boxes, but now they have just changed from pasting boxes to pasting bows, and there is nothing simpler than this!
The five siblings worked hard until it was completely dark, and then the light of the factory street lamp worked for a while before leaving home.
Jona gave Fred the money she earned today: "Tomorrow I'm going to buy a longer table and a chair." "There are two days left in the rent deadline, and when there is a gap, they can exchange the money they earn for tables and chairs.
Although it is possible to work while sitting on the floor, it obviously affects the efficiency of the work. For them now, time is money, and things that can improve work efficiency, such as tables and chairs, must be purchased as soon as possible.
Fred nodded, and then several people confessed again, and then rushed home in a starry and moon-like manner.
Amy's job is piecework, and it's normal for her to come home late from overtime, but the other three have to find an excuse not to arouse suspicion when they come back so late.
No one cobbled together to find a good explanation, and barely passed the parents' hurdle.
The next day, the five of them got up earlier than usual and went out.
Ferretti has to buy tables and chairs before going to work and send them to the warehouse, Amy and Jona have to make more bows to sell, and Dolly and Levy's goods to take to school are also in the warehouse and not take home!
You can't bring this thing back!
It doesn't matter if her parents know that Amy is buying bows in the factory, so she can excuse herself as a part-time job, and her parents are only happy that they don't let her do it.
But with so many bows to take home, it will definitely arouse suspicion.
You must know that Dolly has a "criminal record"!
All five children want to achieve financial freedom, and their mouths are tightly closed, and no one says anything.
As long as they don't say anything, the risk of exposure is still not much.
Soon, the group had a harvest.
Dolly asked Amy to make a sample for her, helped her make eighty "heavy bow ties", and made another one hundred and twenty herself to make two hundred.
She gave her brother a hundred, and asked him to set a price of 30, and the reserve price was 20, and she tried to sell as much as she could.
Levy nodded solemnly.
Most of the boys play with boys, and girls play with girls, and although they don't deliberately don't play with the opposite sex, when it comes to relationships, the friendship with the same sex is stronger.
There will be fewer people who like this kind of heavy bow bow, but Dolly fully believes in her brother's sales ability, you must know that the takeaway business was all won by their sister and brother at the beginning!
The mouth must slip!
Because the aristocracy of this era is gorgeous and cumbersome, such a "heavy industry bow" is not only for girls to have the right to wear, boys can also wear it, but it is not so popular.
However, Levy did not limit the customer to the classmates themselves, but used words such as "xxx (the girl with whom the other party has a crush) would be very happy if she received such a gift", "your mother must be happy to receive such a gift, and when she is happy, your pocket money will be more", "...... your sister received such a gift" to create a purchase demand for them, and soon, 100 bows were sold for 30 copper coins without a price reduction.
In the last moment, several boys almost fought for it, and the "auction" price soared to 1 silver coin, which was obviously on top.
Reason tells Levy that there might be trouble selling it like this, but that's 1 silver coin!
As a result, Levy's turnover today is 30.7 silver coins!
Dolly's side is also very smooth, and there are not many little girls who hate such beautiful things.
Although they want to bargain, because there are too many competitors, as long as they dare to say something like "give me a cheaper", someone will immediately answer: "I don't want to bargain, sell me first!" ”
Dolly's bottom-line price didn't come in handy at all.
There were too many guests, too few things, and Dolly was surrounded by a group of girls, all talking about asking her to bring more bows tomorrow.
Even to make sure they could get the bow, they wanted to stuff the money to Dolly right now.
Dolly: "......" Although she had imagined this kind of scene, it was far beyond her imagination.
She looked at a group of students who were eager to buy, and a way to increase sales came to her mind again - today's bow will not be sold tomorrow!
Dolly said, "This is what my sister brought back from Lanceville, and there are only two hundred of them of this style, and they are sold out and gone." But my sister also bought other beautiful bows, and I'll bring them to you tomorrow! ”
Most of the girls in the school have a lot of pocket money, and their parents may have a lot of money, although they are not as status as nobles, but it is still very easy to give the children in the family dozens of copper coins a day pocket money.
The other part of the parents are because they have made a lot of money by riding the wind of the times, and they are also very generous to their children, and there is a gambling element that wants to fight for a breath and never let their children be compared to others, but no matter what the reason, it is right to give their children a lot of pocket money.
Like a working-class family gritting their teeth to send their children to school, almost always happens to boys.
Unless there is no patriarchal family at the same time, only one girl is of school age.
In the case of Dolly, her parents are many, much better than many parents, but their first instinct is still to let their younger brother go to school.
She was able to get the opportunity to go to school, and it was entirely up to her to fight for it! But how many girls like her can win the opportunity to go to school for themselves?
