107: Go Hand in Hand (5 More)

Xia Xiaolan's tone was firm, and Chen Xiliang was like a cat whose tail was stepped on:

"What...you touch, you touch the fabric!"

When Chen Xiliang was in a hurry, even the Yangcheng dialect came out. His Mandarin is already very good among Yangcheng people, but he still has an accent. Xia Xiaolan looked at him like a guilty conscience at first glance, Chen Xiliang took off the coat and stuffed it into her hand with a bit of urgency, Xia Xiaolan rubbed it with her hands.

"It's really good stuff."

Chen Xiliang is not all lies. Based on Xia Xiaolan's two lifetimes of experience, it should be a blend of cashmere and wool. I don't know which small factory is not good enough to waste cashmere!

Before Chen Xiliang was happy, Xia Xiaolan frowned: "The good material is not cashmere. 80 yuan for one piece is too expensive. I can't sell it if I take it back. You can tell me the real price."

Chen Xiliang just felt like he had seen a ghost. The first time Xia Xiaolan came to pick up the goods, she was wearing a lot of clothes. At first glance, she looked like a country girl. Have you ever touched real cashmere products?

One wanted to sell the clothes, and the other actually wanted to buy them. After bargaining, the wholesale price was cut to 70 yuan.

Chen Xiliang's fleshy expression is like a dead old lady. In terms of acting skills, Xia Xiaolan feels that she is not as talented as this young profiteer.

This coat is two colors, black and navy blue, navy blue is the name of later generations, and now people are used to calling it "navy blue".

Xia Xiaolan took 10 pieces of each color and matched the size. Chen Xiliang's style is very difficult to sell, and she wants to get rid of all the goods, but Xia Xiaolan is bold and cautious, and refuses to buy more. Anyway, she is already mentally prepared to hold the goods, and she may not sell it so quickly when she takes it back. Not only is the style selected, but it is also the most expensive commodity she has ever wholesaled. The retail price should be around 140 yuan, yes Three months salary for the average person.

Chen Xiliang thought that Xia Xiaolan's cold-proof clothing was backed up, but Xia Xiaolan turned around and ordered 30 more cold-proof clothing and 30 duck down jackets.

Men's winter clothes are more expensive, while duck down jackets are the opposite.

These three items are nearly 2900 yuan. Excluding the consignment fee and her own return ticket, she has only 1,800 yuan left at her disposal. Xia Xiaolan directly gave up the sweater, no matter how chic it was. She only needs women's woolen coats and trousers, but not scarves, gloves and other odds and ends. She doesn't make much money from leather shoes, so she doesn't bother to take a size.

The variety of goods has changed from less to more, and from more to less, which is the result of testing the market reaction. How can business be static, and it must be adjusted at any time in order not to be eliminated by the market... Well, doing a clothing business in Shangdu is also a challenge.

In the blink of an eye, December is here.

Xia Xiaolan sat on the train, hesitating whether she wanted to get off the train... As she thought before, she should visit her hometown in her previous life. The first time was when Zhou Cheng said that he would meet in Yangcheng, the second time he simply went south with Zhou Cheng, and the third time was with Liu Fen, it seemed that it was inconvenient to get off the bus halfway.

This time, by myself.

No, she is still carrying a lot of goods, nearly 5,000 yuan. If she can't go to Shangdu Station together, what if the hard work these days will go to waste?

Xia Xiaolan used this reason to convince herself.

She is timid about being close to the hometown, she is afraid that "Xia Xiaolan" will not be seen in this time and space, and when she sees it, she feels that she does not know how to face "self". Or she is not strong enough now, otherwise there will be no such entanglement.

Bang, bang, bang.

The train passed the halfway station.

Xia Xiaolan returned to Shangdu for the fourth time with the goods on a hard seat for more than 30 hours.

Liu Fen and Li Fengmei had estimated the time to wait at the train station. The weather in Shangdu is still very bad these days. The cold wind is raging on the platform. Li Fengmei and Liu Fen are both wearing heavy old jackets. They are in the clothing business. A light and fluffy duck down jacket is reluctant to wear it by itself.

I don't even want to wear it, all the goods I took last time were sold.

The train slowly stabilized on the platform, and Li Fengmei was hot in her heart:

"Is this the car? Hurry up, look for Xiaolan!"

The colder it gets, the better the business. Li Fengmei accompanies Xia Xiaolan to set up a stall once before realizing that there are so many "rich people" in the business. In addition to buying salt to buy seeds and fertilizers, rural people are willing to spend money when a child in the family pays school fees. It costs money to make new clothes. In the past, cloth tickets were required to sell cloth. It was not easy to save some cloth tickets, and one year would not be enough to make cloth tickets from head to toe. It was all left to Li Fengmei for safekeeping, and she was reluctant to spend 100 yuan on a woolen coat!

The people in the city are willing to do it. They get their salary every month. Even if they do work like burning boilers, they don’t have to work hard. They usually use their money carefully. However, the benefits of various units are different. The monthly salary is only more than 30 yuan, and some wages can be 60 to 70 yuan. The units with particularly good benefits, the salary plus the bonus of 77 to 88 yuan, and some people get 100 to 200 yuan a month.

The couple are both dual-earners, and the family's burden is not heavy. If they want to buy a coat that costs hundreds of yuan, they save for two months to buy it. Good clothes are an important outfit to save face, like a new bicycle, like a plum watch on the wrist... If everyone has something, you should try your best to have it.

Even if Li Fengmei is now self-employed, she is still a conservative when it comes to spending money.

Not to mention Liu Fen, her daughter is 18 years old. How many times has she touched money?

Even if she can make money by herself now, she used to be in misery

After so many years in the water, money is a thing that only hates less when it is used. How can you think that you have saved too much money? If she wanted money, when Xia Xiaolan committed suicide by hitting the wall, she didn't have to kneel on the ground and beg Mrs. Xia to take Xia Xiaolan to the hospital.

Liu Fen is more stingy than Li Fengmei. She doesn't use the money she saves for herself, she wants to give it all to Xia Xiaolan.

Of course, Xiaolan is different from her. Money can make more money in Xiaolan's hands... Liu Fen is reluctant to spend a dime on herself anyway, and a box of clam oil for a few cents makes her feel bad. , but Xia Xiaolan wanted to eat meat and refined grains, and Liu Fen didn't say a word.

The two rural buns sighed that the merchants were rich, and while they looked around, they finally saw Xia Xiaolan in the crowd of people.

"Xiaolan!"

"That's Xiaolan!"

...

Xia Xiaolan brought a large amount of goods back to Shangdu, but two women from the family came to pick them up.

Liu Yong was delayed by the affairs of the deputy factory manager's house today. The old man broke his leg and went to the hospital to check the healing of the bones. Liu Yong helped carry the person downstairs and put a woolen mattress around the old man's leg. The relatives who came to help were responsible for pushing the old man to the hospital, while Liu Yong ran upstairs to help knead the dough.

Today, the old couple's son, who is the deputy factory manager, is going back to his parents' house for dinner. The old lady went to buy meat and chop stuffing in the morning. Liu Yong has no cooking skills, so he is responsible for kneading the noodles.

In fact, the injury on his back is not yet completely healed, but he was told that the family could see the slightest bit, and Liu Yong worked hard without complaining.

How could all the old ladies in the world be grandma Yu, and people's hearts are made of hands. This old lady also felt that she should do something for Liu Yong. After the two made dumplings, the old lady gave Liu Yong a ticket:

"Don't talk later, it's all up to me."

Liu Yong's heart was overjoyed, and the expression on his face was quite uneasy, "You look so embarrassed..."

The old lady counted the round dumplings, "What's wrong with you, it will always make your wishes come true."

Who doesn't know, Liu Yong doesn't have a relationship with his family, and he doesn't get his family's salary, so he runs around the house all day long. Anyway, what she did was more considerate and reliable than her son, the deputy director of the factory. Honest people from the countryside who come to the city to seek a living will solve it if they can help. The old lady can't think of benefits. What people pay attention to is helping each other.

She just looks at Liu Yong pleasing to the eye!
