Then he walked to the entrance of the old alley, gave a dime as sentry fee to a young man standing guard at the entrance, and walked in curiously and calmly.
A long stall has been set up on one side of the old alley, and there are some people in front of the stall looking at and buying goods.
Shen Xiaobei walked forward while carrying a backpack and looking at the things sold by the stall owners.
She found that there was really everything for sale, including food, daily necessities and clothes.
She casually asked several stall owners about the prices along the way, and had a rough idea of how big the difference was between the same thing sold here and outside.
When she reached an open space, she stopped and put the backpack on the ground.
After a while, she saw a middle-aged woman wearing a floral dress and looking a little plump passing by, and she immediately smiled sweetly.
She took the initiative to sell him: "Big sister, take a look at my fabrics. They are all made of pure cotton and linen. They are of high quality and have beautiful patterns. They can be made into skirts or clothes for summer. They are very sweat-absorbent and breathable!"
"Wow, this fabric is really nice!"
"Sister, I got all this fabric from big cities. Not only are the patterns and dyes beautiful, but the quality is also very solid. Just stretch it and you'll see!"
Shen Xiaobei took the initiative to pick up a piece of cloth and stretched it in front of the middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman tried it herself and confirmed that the fabric was indeed of good quality and was rarely seen in the county.
"Miss, how much do you want for this fabric? I'd like three or four meters of each of these three patterns!"
"Sis, since you're so forthcoming and you're my first customer today, I'll give you a fair price and not take any more out of you!"
"If you buy with cloth coupons, I'll sell it to you at the market price of one yuan per meter, which is a 10% discount. If you buy with cash, I'll give you an even better discount of 15%!"
"I just hope that if you think it looks good, you can refer more customers to me in the future. I have several more styles of this fabric!"
"Young lady, you're really straightforward in your business. I don't have any cloth coupons, so I'll just buy it with cash! Don't worry, if I think it looks good on you, I'll not only refer customers to buy it for you, but I'll also come back to buy it myself!"
"Really? Thank you so much, big sister! I'll measure the cloth for you now!"
As a fashion designer who has been working for six years, Shen Xiaobei has long been proficient in measuring and cutting cloth.
The middle-aged woman looked very satisfied when she saw how skillful she was.
With the first customer, there is no need to worry about the second one. What's more, Shen Xiaobei's fabrics are of good quality and cheaper than those sold on the market. For those who really want to buy fabrics, it is simply a great bargain.
In less than two hours, Shen Xiaobei completed four business deals.
During this period, because she had little cloth left, she quietly added some more cloth from the space to her backpack while no one was paying attention, so that she had enough to sell.
Thinking that she had only asked Ma Jiquan for half a day off and had to go to work at 2:30 in the afternoon, she didn't plan to stay any longer.
After counting the cash she received, she found that she had made a small profit of nearly 25 yuan, which was equivalent to a month's salary for some employees in the county town. She was quite satisfied.
He then picked up the backpack, stood up and left the old alley, preparing to go to the farmers' market to buy a few more hens to lay eggs.
