Chapter 38 Barbershop Business is Booming

Yi An'an was stunned for a moment: "So many?"

"Yes, they are all colleagues and friends of yesterday's client. They all came here because they saw that our permed hair looked good yesterday."

"But our appointment is already three days later!" Yi Anan looked at these things, there must be about forty or fifty of them, and this time it would take another three days.

"It's okay, it's okay. You give them number tags first. I plan to go to the barber shop in the next town tomorrow to borrow a few hairdressers and machines. Anyway, it's still two months before the festival. The barber shop in the next town doesn't have so many hairdressers. No one expected that everyone here would be so enthusiastic about perming their hair!" Sister Hua said with a smile.

Yi Anan said: "Okay, if those masters come over, we will give them the same commission."

"You're using so much. Let me tell you, three cents for each hair will be enough. Just give me the remaining two cents. I promise to take good care of it for you." Sister Hua asked with a smile.

Yi Anan nodded: "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Sister Hua!"

Yi Anan was cheerful and spoke nicely, so Sister Hua was very happy and quickly agreed. She set off for the next town.

Yi Anan also issued number papers to everyone, and asked them to line up according to the twenty people a day. She would make adjustments after Sister Hua transferred the number here.

In the morning, Sister Hua was there, so Yi Anan also took part in the work herself. At noon, Sister Hua happily got off a tractor. On the tractor were three hair curling machines and three technicians.

"These are Master Chen, Master Liu, and Master Han. They are all masters from the barber shop in the next town. They are here to support us." Sister Hua said.

Yi Anan smiled and nodded, and quickly invited the masters in.

When the masters came in and saw the two permed hairstyles, they were also very surprised.

"We have been in this business for more than ten years, but we have never seen such beautiful curly hair!" Master Chen said, holding back.

"Oh, just looking at you makes me excited. Wait until we learn how to do it. You can perm one for me first!" said Master Liu.

"I want one too, I want one too!" Master Han also said.

Sister Hua smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's all free, so you can be models in our store!"

"By 'model', do you mean the same beauties as those on the calendars?" asked Master Han.

"That's almost the same. Okay, hurry up and study. I'll give you one day today. If you study well, I'll arrange work for you tomorrow!" Sister Hua urged.

The sooner you learn this, the sooner you can start making money. With these three skills, you can do at least a dozen hairstyles a day. Each hairstyle costs 20 cents, which is a few dollars!

The three masters hurried over to learn.

Sister Hua walked up to Yi An'an with a smile and said, "This barber shop in the next town has been commended by the county and has won the mobile red flag every month. This time, I must take the advanced red flag. In this way, in the end, we can get more benefits. It's all good things!"

Yi Anan gave a thumbs up: "Sister Hua, you are really good at this!"

Sister Hua was smiling happily. She didn't even bother to eat lunch and went to get her hair permed.

This is all money!

Looking at the barber shop full of enthusiasm, Yi Anan knew that in a few days, she would have to keep an eye on it herself. Anyway, these masters remembered how much they had worked, and they also remembered when the number papers she issued expired, so she didn't have to keep an eye on it.

Yi Anan had been busy all morning and was hungry, so she went to eat a bowl of wontons. She was planning to go to the black market in the afternoon to buy a watch, but when she looked up, she saw Yi Jixiang and a Chinese man entering the alley next to the wonton shop.

Yi Anan hesitated for a moment, then followed quietly.

"Brother Zhang, did you really buy the red coat and high-heeled leather shoes from Guangzhou?" Yi Jixiang's voice came from the alley.

"That's for sure. I have relatives in Guangzhou. Is it fun to do this?" The man's voice was filled with a lewd smile. After a while, Yi Jixiang's voice came, and it could be heard that he seemed to be reluctant to accept.

"Brother Zhang, you better get the goods and then we can..." Yi Jixiang whispered, "Oh, Brother Zhang, please don't be like this..."

"You have to let me have a taste of sweetness in the early stage. I'll just kiss you and touch you, and I won't do anything else!" Brother Zhang laughed, as if he had succeeded.

Yi Anan hid nearby and thought about things from her past life.

In her previous life, after she was forced to marry Yan Dabao, Yi Jixiang went to sell pickles for her in the supply and marketing cooperative. Later, Yi Jixiang married the son of the president of the supply and marketing cooperative. On the day of the engagement, Yi Jixiang specially wore a red coat and high-heeled leather shoes and passed by her door. At that time, she was ten months pregnant and knelt on the ground to wash the feet of the village chief, that old pervert.

Yi An'an sneered. She didn't expect Yi Jixiangru to find such a greasy Chinese man for her outfit.

Well, after her reputation is ruined, she wants to see how the president of the supply and marketing cooperative, who graduated from university and has a promising future, will like her.

Yi Anan looked around and saw several of Yi Jixiang's colleagues coming out from the supply and marketing cooperative.

Now is the break time after lunch. After eating, they come out for a stroll, bask in the sun, or go to the cinema far away to watch a good movie. Their days are leisurely and stress-free.

The supply and marketing cooperative will not open until two in the afternoon.

Yi Anan listened to the noise in the alley and looked at the big black dog squatting at the door of the wonton shop. She hurried into the wonton shop and took out the chicken rack that had been cooked for who knows how many days in the chicken soup pot while no one in the shop was paying attention.

When Yi An'an went out with the chicken rack, the black dog opened its eyes wide and stared at the chicken rack in Yi An'an's hand.

Yi Anan deliberately waved the chicken rack in front of the big black dog, and then threw it into the alley.

The big black dog immediately ran into the chicken coop, and after a while, he heard Yi Jixiang's sharp voice coming from inside.

Yi Anan quickly hid aside, and soon, Yi Jixiang was startled and ran out with the middle-aged man.

Yi Anan curled her lips. Yi Jixiang was very afraid of dogs because he was bitten by the big yellow dog she fed when he was young. Later, the big yellow dog became Yi Jixiang's lunch.

Yi Anan and his two generations remember this matter clearly!

Yi Jixiang and the middle-aged man ran out of the alley and bumped into several members of the supply and marketing cooperative.

Yi Jixiang was startled, and quickly pulled at his rolled-up sweater and tidied his hair.

The middle-aged man behind is tying his belt.

"Yi Jixiang, what are you doing..." The clerk who sold ready-made clothes looked at Yi Jixiang and the middle-aged man and understood immediately, "Yi Jixiang, how could you do such a thing, this..."
