114: Zhu Fang Pays Back the Money (4 More)
Zhu Fang walked out with the money in less than 20 minutes after putting on the new coat.
"Xiaolan, I'll give you the money for the clothes."
Xia Xiaolan guessed that he mostly borrowed it from a friend, thinking that he was too impatient.
"I didn't know you wanted to buy it before. We are friends. I'm sorry to make your money, so I'll charge you 100 yuan."
Hu Yongcai also accepted Xia Xiaolan cigarettes. Zhu Fang introduced the business to Xia Xiaolan as a voluntary help. Except for the unhappiness with Ding Aizhen, she owed Zhu Fang a favor.
It is impossible for profiteers to make no money at all, and Xia Xiaolan will not let outsiders know that the purchase price of her coat is 70 yuan, so she quoted Zhu Fang's selling price of 100 yuan.
"Xiaolan, if you sell me clothes at this price, you won't lose money?"
Get the exact answer, Zhu Fang has the bottom line. He took out the 1,000 yuan he borrowed from a friend, took 50 yuan out of it, and gave the rest to Xia Xiaolan:
"Here is 950 yuan for you to count, 100 yuan is for clothes, and the remaining 850 yuan is the last time your partner dropped in the hotel. I saw you today, and I will give it to you together."
Xia Xiaolan was inexplicable.
Zhou Chengluo Hotel?
How did Zhu Fang know Zhou Cheng?
Her brain crashed for a few seconds, and suddenly realized that it was Zhou Cheng who went to find Zhu Fang!
Zhu Fang didn't explain it either, he shoved the money to Xia Xiaolan and ran back to the compound of the subordinate district. Xia Xiaolan was messy alone, her mouth twitched, and she could guess the general situation - when did Zhou Cheng go to find Zhu Fang, it should have been Ding Aizhen who came to make trouble and Zhou Cheng left Shangdu. What exactly did Zhou Cheng do? Xia Xiaolan didn't see it with her own eyes, so I guessed it in general, but she was rich and rich, so she smashed Zhu Fang with the money.
850 yuan at the Yellow River Hotel?
Most of them are "tips" for Zhu Fang.
Any man with a bit of backbone would not accept this money. No wonder Zhu Fang returned the money when he saw her. Xia Xiaolan couldn't tell what she felt at this moment, she frowned, Zhou Cheng seemed to be a little different from what she imagined.
Liu Yong did not agree with her being with Zhou Cheng.
While Zhou Cheng was able to do a big business of flipping cigarettes, he also said that he was an active duty soldier.
Can a soldier have such great abilities?
I'm just afraid that Zhou Cheng's family is quite unusual... Xia Xiaolan didn't think she was worthy of Zhou Cheng's family, what she thought was that Zhou Cheng was too domineering, and he was still enthusiastic about her, so she was obedient in front of her. Turning around to find Zhu Fang, Xia Xiaolan didn't like this style of behavior.
She is not an ignorant girl, Zhou Cheng turned into a domineering president, she would be a nympho.
When two people are together, in addition to their passion, they have to look at their temperament. Zhou Cheng's temperament, Xia Xiaolan thinks, really needs to be investigated.
"How do you sell your clothes?"
A young woman came out of the family compound. Xia Xiaolan suppressed her discomfort and quickly introduced her to others:
"It's 140 yuan a piece, sister, touch it, how good the fabric is."
Whether the fabric is good or not, can it deceive other people, and can it deceive the female workers of the national cotton factory?
Xiaoqin had already touched Zhu Fang's coat, so she couldn't help but start again.
"It's a blend of cashmere and wool. It's a really good material."
The style is also good-looking, Zhu Fang bought a navy blue, and her old Cheng can wear black. Black is more stable and generous, lest the leaders of the old Cheng unit have opinions. Xiaoqin made up his mind to buy it. 140 yuan is expensive. For a female worker like her, who is agile and has a long working experience, the monthly salary is dozens of yuan, plus a little more. Bonus, it is rich to buy a coat for one's own man.
But whose money was blown by the wind, I have to talk about the price. After talking with Xia Xiaolan for a long time, they only lost two yuan, 138 yuan a piece, Xiaoqin seems to have taken a big advantage.
With Zhu Fang taking the lead, Xia Xiaolan's business can be considered open.
She didn't go home to eat at noon, so she bought two cakes on the street to eat, and by four o'clock in the afternoon, she sold a total of three coats.
Li Fengmei also brought the goods back. Without Xia Xiaolan setting up a stall with her, her business there was not so good. However, every time she sells a piece of clothing, Li Fengmei has to take the trouble to emphasize that the clothing store will open before the New Year. Welcome everyone to go to Erqi Road to buy clothes.
When people asked about the name of the store, Li Fengmei was stunned. The two hadn't discussed it yet!
The clothes don't need to be moved to Xia Xiaolan's residence, just go directly to Li Fengmei's house. The house rented by Li Fengmei's house is on the third floor, but Zhu Fang's friend's house is on the fifth floor opposite.
"It turns out that the people in the courtyard are relatives. No wonder they set up a stall at the door. Lao Cheng, how do you wear your clothes? I didn't lose the hundred yuan!"
How not worth it.
Cashmere has good warmth retention, and it is mixed with wool. It has a crisp version, and it is not too thick. It feels light to wear in winter.
Zhu Fanglai had dinner at Cheng's house and saw Xia Xiaolan leave with his own eyes, so he left.
All afternoon, he was restless, and he lost all games with Lao Cheng.
...
Li Fengmei asked what the name of the clothing store was, and Xia Xiaolan couldn't give it a high-level foreign name, which was in line with the atmosphere of the times and easy to remember. At this time, all kinds of stores were named after their surnames. A certain name is the most common, such as Zhang Cui's Zhang Ji snack shop.
Liu Ji? Lee Kee?
This name is suitable for selling food, but the clothing store is very strange, Xia Xiaolan said directly:
"Auntie, just take your name, 'Fengmei Clothing'..."
Li Fengmei disagreed, and it wasn't her business alone.
The last two
It's called "Blue Phoenix".
When Taotao was out of school, Xia Xiaolan patiently accompanied him for a while, asking him if his homework was difficult. Stayed until 5 o'clock, Li Fengmei refused to leave her to eat, and trotted home while it was dark.
Liu Fen has already cooked dinner at home.
"Come back? Wash your hands and eat quickly. You can still read a book later, and go to school tomorrow?"
The door to grandma's room was closed.
On the tall cabinet was a bowl of stewed mutton, which Liu Fen had placed there.
Grandma Yu couldn't understand. If the contract was signed for the facade of Erqi Road, and she also received the rent of 2,000 yuan a year, the purpose of Liu Fen's mother and daughter should have been achieved.
Then why does Liu Fen still help her sweep the streets?
Grandma Yu thought that there must be a bigger plot, so she watched quietly, the mother and daughter will show their true colors sooner or later. The smell of mutton wafted under grandma's nose.
Grandma Yu got out of bed, picked up the bowl and ate.
Why didn't she eat it, if she didn't eat it better, how could she have the spirit to fight wits with the cunning mother and daughter?
Early the next morning, Xia Xiaolan took the shuttle bus back to Anqing County with her book. Liu Fen helped Grandma Yu sweep the streets as usual, and was about to go to the oil extraction factory to pick up the goods, when Grandma Yu stopped her with money in her hand:
"I will never owe anyone in my life, I will eat you a bowl of mutton and give you the money."
ah?
She thought that the landlady was finally getting along well, but she actually ate the mutton she sent last night.
This is the tough grandma Yu!
Liu Fen had no choice but to accept the money.
She is an honest person with a flushed face. She was originally giving mutton with good intentions, but now she has forcibly sold mutton to Grandma Yu. Feeling embarrassed, Liu Fen carried a broom to help Grandma Yu sweep the streets again—she felt that she had the strength, and it was nothing to help a little. When facing grandma, it is not only sympathy, the old lady has such a big house in the business, where does she need sympathy from a rural woman!
Liu Fen thought very simply. Since the store has been rented for many years, the mother and daughter rented Yu Grandma's house again. They can't be separated for a short time.
