Lin Yu awakens with memories of her past life and discovers she is a cannon fodder supporting character in a modern-era novel. The female lead is the real heiress, and Lin Yu is merely a fake heire...
The pedestrian street in Beicheng City is a hub for all sorts of street vendors.
Some of them sell clothes, while others sell toys and daily necessities.
In the first half of 1979, it had already developed very prosperously.
Many residents often come here to stroll around and see something new when they go out.
One day in August, three stalls appeared here.
The first stall sold socks, underwear, and stockings.
The next stall, number two, displays all sorts of leather products.
The last stall, number three, was decorated very nicely, with colorful little hair accessories displayed on the counter.
The decorations of these three stalls all appear to be in the same style.
The items were very eye-catching as soon as they were displayed.
Most people are drawn in by the exquisite leather shoes and bags, but then they see the socks for sale next door, which cost only one yuan a pair, and they even offer a free pair with every ten pairs purchased.
It's practically robbing customers out of their wallets.
Lin Yu greeted the customers warmly: "Sister, aunt, look at our nylon stockings, the quality and elasticity are amazing."
One elderly woman was genuinely intrigued and asked, "Is it really true that you get one pair free when you buy ten pairs?"
Lin Yu smiled and said, "Yes, honest and fair, one yuan a pair, no bargaining, buy ten pairs and get one free."
The old lady frowned when she heard that she couldn't bargain, but then she thought that buying ten pairs would get you one free, which was more cost-effective than bargaining.
But he still said, "How can I wear ten pairs? How about you give me a discount and I'll give you a free pair if I buy five?"
Lin Yu admired her; this old lady really did cut the price in half!
With her expression unchanged, she smiled and shook her head, saying, "Auntie, look at these socks. If you go to the department store, a pair would cost more than a dollar, right? I'm offering a buy-ten-get-one-free deal."
"My business is so small, I can't haggle anymore."
"Besides, if there are many people in your family, even two or three pairs per person won't be enough. If there are fewer people, you can ask your neighbors to buy them together."
The old woman's eyes lit up: "You can do that?"
Lin Yu nodded: "Anyway, if you buy ten pairs, you get one free; if you buy twenty pairs, you get two free. You can try to get them together."
The old lady thought about it and realized that she had so many relatives. It wouldn't be wrong for her to buy them and give them a pair for a dollar each.
Then the socks they give you will be given to you for free.
The more she thought about it, the more convinced she became, so the old woman quickly said, "Girl, give me twenty pairs first!"
Lin Yu didn't know what she was thinking, but she still quickly counted out twenty-two pairs of socks for her: "Auntie, once the goods are taken, they can't be exchanged. Please check them and make sure there are no problems before you leave."
This was something she had discussed with the others: if someone tried on socks and underwear and then returned them, how could they be sold?
Therefore, it must be emphasized that refunds are not allowed.
The old lady didn't care about that; she'd never heard of anyone returning socks they bought.
However, she still took out all the socks to check them and found that they were indeed of very good quality.
The old lady thought to herself, "These socks are so nice, I should keep a few more pairs for myself."
As she inspected the socks, many customers around her were watching her.
When everyone discovered that none of the socks were defective, they became even more tempted.
After the old lady left, the sock business improved significantly.
Later, Lin Yu sold a lot more underwear, leaving only stockings on the stall that no one was interested in.
Compared to Lin Yu's stall, where most customers were housewives, Ou Manqing's stall was mostly frequented by fashionable young people.
The men were drawn to the belt Li Dahui was wearing.
Before leaving home today, Ou Manqing dressed Li Dahui up, putting him in a white shirt and suit pants.
The shirt was tucked into the trousers, with a belt covering the part of the trousers that was sticking out.
Such an outfit might not look good in later generations, but it looks very impressive at this time.
Li Dahui didn't have a belly, and his tall and straight figure made him look even more handsome.
Young people are fashion-conscious, and they are immediately drawn to his outfit.
They have real people advertising, and their belts are doing very well at their stall.
Young women, on the other hand, prefer the small leather handbags in front of Ou Manqing.
Lin Yu, Ou Manqing, Song Meili, and Lin Jing spent an entire night designing the bags.
Tie various styles of silk scarves on it.
Different ways of tying a scarf can also change the appearance of the bag.
Therefore, although they only carried one style of bag, they looked like they had several different styles.
In addition, Oumanqing will explain to customers that this bag is sold bundled with a ribbon.
Customers can also choose not to buy a scarf and just buy a bag.
After seeing bags decorated with silk scarves, very few people would simply buy a plain leather bag.
Some people want to decorate their bags with different scarves, so they buy several scarves at the stall.
Ou Manqing also demonstrated the binding method on site.
In this way, the business of small leather bags boosted the sales of silk scarves, which can be said to be a win-win situation.
On the other side, at Song Meili and Lin Jing's stall, the sales of silk scarves were also very good.
They styled their hair and makeup before going out today.
Song Meili tied a silk scarf around her neck, which, combined with the dress she was wearing, gave her a unique and elegant look.
Lin Jing tied her hair with a silk scarf, creating a side braid so that the scarf could be seen from the front.
Many girls would stop and take a look when they see this kind of outfit.
Lin Jing and Song Meili will also demonstrate several tying methods on the spot, saying, "You can take a look even if you don't buy anything."
But actually, after seeing how to tie it up, most girls can't help but spend money.
Meanwhile, the various hair accessories displayed at the stalls were also very eye-catching.
