As she was sighing, Zeng Qingqing suddenly thought of something.
"An An, it seems that this fabric business is really profitable, otherwise, you wouldn't come to stay in such a nice guesthouse!"
Shen Anan just reacted after hearing this.
Indeed, the price of this guesthouse is definitely not cheap if calculated at the original price. That lady actually chose to live here, so she must have made a lot of money.
Moreover, Shen Anan thought that what her elder sister said about helping relatives might not be true. If she was really a worker, it would be impossible for her to live in this guesthouse.
The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Shen Anan and Zeng Qingqing set off with their eldest sister. They boarded the bus to the fabric market, and even at this early hour, the bus was already packed with people and bustling with activity.
When they arrived at the market, the three were shocked by the scene before them as soon as they got out of the car. The stalls in the market are lined up next to each other, colorful fabrics are hung everywhere, and the cries of vendors and the bargaining of buyers can be heard one after another.
The sun was already high in the sky, the weather was as hot as a steamer, the crowd was crowded together, and the air seemed to have become thinner.
Zeng Qingqing had been carsick yesterday and didn't sleep well. Coupled with the hot weather and the crowded crowd, she began to feel unwell. Her face turned pale and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Shen Anan noticed Zeng Qingqing's discomfort, so she quickly helped Zeng Qingqing to sit down at a nearby soda stand, and said with concern: "Qingqing, you take a rest here and drink a bottle of soda. I'll go around with my elder sister."
Seeing this, Zeng Qingqing stopped trying to be brave. If she didn't sit down, she felt like she was going to faint. She nodded, her voice a little weak: "An An, go ahead, don't worry about me."
Shen Anan gave a few more instructions before turning around and continuing to walk through the market with her elder sister. Although she was sweating profusely, the excitement and anticipation in her heart made her not feel tired at all.
Seeing this, the eldest sister looked at Shen Anan deeply, with a hint of admiration in her eyes: “Anan, you are in great health. It’s so hot, and you can still be so energetic!”
Hearing this, Shen Anan smiled and wiped the sweat from her forehead: "Sister, I'm fine. We are here to choose goods, so of course we have to cheer up."
She didn't have a body of iron, but she had been exercising almost every day over the years. She wasn't the type to give up. Now that she was in Guangcheng, she had to try her best. She was lucky to have met the elder sister, who might not stay here for many days, so she had to hurry up and learn from her.
Otherwise, when the elder sister finishes selecting the goods and leaves, won’t I be left at a loss?
Shen Anan followed her elder sister around the fabric market twice, her eyes like a scanner, carefully looking at every stall. She has a clear idea in her mind and knows what she wants.
There were a wide variety of fabrics on the market, but Shen Anan quickly locked on her target. The fabrics she likes are those that feel smooth and breathable, and they will definitely keep you cool when you wear them. Moreover, she paid special attention to colors and picked out bright and colorful ones.
The colors of the fabrics in the supply and marketing cooperatives in the county were too plain. Young women of that period all liked fancy fabrics. This was not the 1970s, but the 1980s. People no longer dressed in patched clothes, but were more concerned with having unique features and showing spirit.
As Shen Anan was choosing, she was thinking in her mind.
In addition to brightly colored fabrics, she also took a fancy to some calm patterns that are suitable for men. She thought that although men's clothes were not as fancy as women's, they also had to pay attention to style and color so that they could look energetic.
The eldest sister looked at the fabrics selected by Shen Anan and nodded constantly: “Anan, you have a good eye. These fabrics are well selected. They are both practical and beautiful.”
Hearing this, Shen Anan responded with a smile: "Sister, I also chose it according to the needs of the county where I live. Everyone loves beauty, but they can't usually buy such beautiful fabrics. This time I came here to bring them some fresh ones."
The two continued to choose while chatting. Although Shen Anan was sweating profusely from exhaustion, she was very happy in her heart. She knew that if the fabrics were shipped back, they would be sold for a good price.
However, she didn't plan to make a decision today. Many stalls had the same fabric, so she planned to write down what she wanted first, and then buy it after comparing prices tomorrow.
The eldest sister didn't plan to wait until tomorrow. She bought the train ticket for tomorrow afternoon. It would take two days and two nights to get to Hecheng. Unlike Shen Anan and Zeng Qingqing, who were close to Guangcheng, she didn't have that much time to waste here. So after picking out the fabrics she wanted, she decided on them directly and made an appointment with the stall owner to pick them up tomorrow morning so that she could carry them to the train station.
Shen Anan took advantage of this time to learn the elder sister's bargaining and ordering methods, silently memorizing them in her heart, thinking that she would do the same tomorrow.
After the three of them went back, the eldest sister packed up her pile of documents. After packing, she followed Shen Anan and went out to eat at the restaurant opposite the guesthouse.
Taking advantage of this time, Shen Anan asked if there was anything else that needed attention in the fabric market.
The eldest sister had already finished her own business and was waiting to pick up the goods and leave tomorrow. She was a little free, so she reminded them to pay attention to which store was likely to mix a lot of defective products into the goods they gave her. She also reminded Shen Anan to hold on to the money well, because there were many people inside and the money might be stolen at any time.
There wasn't much else to say, but I just mentioned that there were people outside the fabric market who could help carry the goods. If there were a lot of goods, you could pay them to help carry them to the train station, but it was hard to tell the price, so you would have to bargain carefully.
