Huang Qinqin originally thought that young people would be the main consumers, but she didn't expect that the aunties' spending was truly outrageous.
The best-selling items are red dresses and white shirts. These are relatively important items for able-bodied young people getting married.
Just like Huang Qinqin, who wore a red dress that Xu Junhui bought for her when she got married. Even when she returned to her parents' home, people would still talk about how her family and in-laws valued her so much that they were willing to buy her a brand new dress.
Many people get married by borrowing a dress or wearing their best clothes. For her, being able to wear her own red dress to her wedding is truly a source of pride.
Secondly, the best-selling items are ordinary styles of clothing. These clothes all have one thing in common: they each have some minor flaws.
Therefore, the pricing was the same as that of the supply and marketing cooperatives, and cloth coupons were not required. At first, no one bought it because the styles were already quite common.
Knowing that a few sharp-eyed aunties had spotted the prices and confirmed that no cloth ration coupons were needed, they immediately snapped up all the remaining stock.
When Huang Qinqin and Mo Jiaxin saw that all the defective products had been sold, their smiles stretched from the corners of their heads to the backs of their heads!
During the meeting, it was emphasized that some of the department store's merchandise consisted of defective items, including enamel basins and mugs, and shoes.
However, the quantities were not large; the only relatively large quantity was ready-made garments. This was because a garment factory in the province made a mistake during layout, resulting in inconsistent sizes and colors in the printing of the entire batch of clothes, as well as inconsistent cuff and trouser leg lengths.
If all of them had to be reworked, the workload would be enormous. But if they weren't reworked, the products sent to the various supply and marketing cooperatives in the city would only be sold as defective goods.
Not only would they fail to recoup their costs, but they would also incur losses. Some suggested selling these defective products in a department store to see if they could reduce their losses.
Manager Gao also mentioned in the meeting that if this batch of defective products could be processed, Huang Qinqin and Mo Jiaxin would be given separate rewards.
So Huang Qinqin and Mo Jiaxin are putting in a lot of effort to promote the regular styles of clothing. However, they both explain to customers that these are defective products, which is why they are cheaper.
When the defective products on the shelf were almost sold out, Huang Qinqin saw more and more people flocking over, and decisively waved to the sales staff in the adjacent area.
"Hello, could you please go to the warehouse and tell them that we're almost out of defective items in our ready-to-wear section, and ask them to send over some more?"
"Oh?! So many are almost sold out? I'll head over right now."
Some people behind, unaware of what was being fought over, saw that everyone coming out of the counter was carrying large and small bags, and curiously stopped one of them to ask.
"What are they scrambling for there? Is there some kind of shortage?"
The aunt, who had just snatched some good stuff, enthusiastically showed off her successful battle to them.
He casually pulled out a piece of clothing and said smugly, "Everyone's fighting over clothes! Look, this one's only three yuan!"
They thought it was something cheap, but it turned out to be clothes, and the style was quite ordinary, and the price wasn't cheap either.
"Don't the supply and marketing cooperatives sell them too? Why are you fighting over them? There's no discount, and why are the sleeves of this garment different lengths?"
"It really is true! Were you scammed? Hurry up and go find them to exchange it before you go too far!"
The aunt shook her head, still looking like she'd struck gold: "It's just that the sleeves are different lengths, I can just go back and alter them. This kind of clothing doesn't require cloth coupons, it's so rare!"
"What?!"
"No cloth coupons?! Really?!"
The aunt calmly said, "That's right, no tickets are needed, didn't you know?"
Once it was confirmed that no cloth coupons were needed, no one else had the mind to talk to her anymore and immediately joined the rush to buy.
This is truly a windfall!
Although ready-made clothes are more expensive than buying fabric yourself, these ordinary styles aren't much more expensive. Every household was short of fabric ration coupons, so it was a rare treat to have clothes that didn't require coupons and weren't expensive.
Shouldn't we grab it right away?
At worst, I can spend less money elsewhere this month. A piece of clothing costs about the same as two pounds of meat, but it can last for many years!
......
When the crowd dispersed, Huang Qinqin felt her legs trembling and her throat was parched.
She never expected so many people to come and buy clothes. Manager Gao also came over at this time, checked the sales situation, and was obviously very satisfied.
"Well done! There aren't many defective products left in the warehouse. Let's try to sell them all as soon as possible, and I'll give you a reward then!"
When the topic of rewards came up, Huang Qinqin and Mo Jiaxin suddenly felt their backache and leg pain disappear. After all, they were basically on fixed salaries, so whatever the reward was, it would be extra.
The two said in unison, "Thank you, Manager Gao!"
"You're welcome. There aren't many people here now, so you can take turns sitting down and resting before continuing your efforts."
Since Manager Gao had spoken, Huang Qinqin and Mo Jiaxin immediately sat down. Huang Qinqin had originally thought that working as a sales clerk was quite easy.
Because when I see them at the supply and marketing cooperative, they usually just sit and chat or knit.
However, it's only the first day. I estimate that after a few more days, once the flawed clothes are sold out, things will be a bit easier.
After standing for so long, Huang Qinqin felt a slight ache in her lower back. She thought to herself that she would have to ask Xu Junhui to give her a massage when she got back at noon.
"Qinqin, come over here and have some mung bean soup."
Just as I was thinking about Xu Junhui, his voice rang in my ears.
Looking up, Huang Qinqin saw Xu Junhui standing in front of the counter with a kettle. She told Mo Jiaxin something and then went over.
Huang Qinqin asked happily, "When did you bring the mung bean soup? Did you carry it around all morning?"
"No, when I came here, I saw a lot of people here, so I went home specifically to get it."
"I chilled it in the well before I left. Drink some to quench your thirst. You've had a hard day. Are you still holding on?"
Just as Huang Qinqin picked up her drink, she thought of Mo Jiaxin and said to Xu Junhui, "Junhui, I'm going to ask my colleague if he wants some. Wait for me here for a bit."
"Okay, go ahead, but I didn't think to give some to your colleagues, so I didn't take too much. Keep an eye on it when you're pouring, don't pour it all out."
Okay~
