Chapter 109: Grand Opening
Seeing Hao Mei's surprised expression, Rutang chuckled.
"Mom, don't be afraid. What I mean is, wait a while, someone else will come."
"Kid, your words are so scary. But aren't they at work? How can they come out to buy clothes?" Hao Mei was puzzled.
Rutang winked at her mischievously, and she would know it soon.
Many workers in Port D eat in the cafeteria at noon and don’t go out for a walk, so naturally they won’t see Rutang’s stall.
Those who bought clothes and took them home would surely not be able to resist showing them off to their coworkers. Once others saw them, they would definitely skip work to buy them.
Rutang just found out that salary will be paid in D Port today, and she was so happy that she almost jumped up.
She now wished she could be welded here and would never go home unless she put the newly-earned salary into her own pocket.
Rutang's guess was correct. A few minutes later, people came out of the factory one after another.
The power of role models is infinite. When the girls saw their fellow workers buying beautiful new clothes, which were said to have been brought back from the provincial capital, they were moved.
They came out in groups of three or four. Rutang used her sales skills to deceive people and sold clothes one after another.
Hao Mei witnessed the terrifying purchasing power of economically independent girls in the city. It seemed that these girls were not buying clothes, but cabbages.
Rutang had been selling for three hours, and only about twenty pieces of clothing were left out of the more than one hundred pieces she had brought back from the provincial capital.
Just as she had expected when she was buying the goods, everyone had a herd mentality and were not very receptive to overly novel styles. Many girls did not buy any clothes. They wanted to buy styles similar to those of their co-workers and did not want to buy anything different from others.
Rutang made an appointment with them and asked them to come over tomorrow afternoon. She planned to purchase more stocks overnight and stock more popular items.
Back home, Hao Mei steamed buns to prepare for the evening business, while Ru Tang sat on the bed counting money.
When Yu Yaoyang and his brother came back, they saw Rutang smiling like a flower, sitting among the pile of money.
Why is it a pile of money? Because the face value of the money is relatively small, only a few yuan or eighty cents. In order to show that she has a lot of money, she deliberately spread the money flat.
"Where did this money-grubber come from?" Yu Yaoyang was amused when he saw his wife's look.
Xiaoyue put her hands together and pretended to worship, saying: "Goddess of Fortune, bless me to be rich this year!"
His sister-in-law looks exactly like the God of Wealth.
"It's settled. Not only will you get rich this year, but money will always be with you for the rest of your life~" Rutang was in such a good mood that she waved her hand and gave her blessing.
"Goddess of Wealth, can you please bless me to have more fat babies?" Yu Yaoyang also joined in the fun.
"What an inappropriate wish you have. This God of Wealth doesn't care about children. Well, since you're so handsome, I'll let you fulfill your wish. Next year, I'll have a son and a daughter at the same time. This God of Wealth will give birth to twins, a boy and a girl!" Rutang smiled so hard that his eyebrows were not visible.
When Hao Mei entered the room and heard her daughter say this, she wanted to say that her daughter was not serious. But when she heard the content, she felt that it was too auspicious and would easily make her as a mother feel extremely comfortable. So she did not say anything to her daughter, but just rolled her eyes at her, saying that gods and Buddhas cannot be played casually, and it would offend the gods.
But this glance shocked Hao Mei.
“So much money?!”
"Yes, weren't you watching when I was collecting the money?"
"You collected them one by one, I didn't expect the total to be so much...how much is it?" Hao Mei couldn't stop smiling.
"I sold 88 pieces. Although the prices of the clothes were different, the average price was about 12 yuan, and the income was 1,060 yuan, which was more than 400 yuan. The remaining 20 or so pieces that could not be sold were taken back for exchange, and this part was our free money."
"Ah?! Earning 400 a day?!" Hao Mei was shocked and suddenly felt that it was not so offensive to the gods for her daughter to dress up as the God of Wealth.
“Yes, but this is because D Port has just started paying salaries, and everyone has enough money in their pockets, so the sales are good. After everyone has bought it, we won’t make that much profit.” Ru Tang was in a good mood looking at the money.
"I thought you made half a house by selling clothes, but I didn't expect you made a quarter of a house in one day." Hao Mei didn't know what to say.
Since she came to the city, the things she has experienced have repeatedly shattered her worldview. Is it possible to make money this way?
"Mom, think about it. If Chen Fu knew that we earn so much a day, how would he feel?" Yu Yaoyang knew how to make his mother-in-law happy.
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Hao Mei began to ponder.
Chen Fu, that lazy and useless guy, gave up his family for 500 yuan. In his world, 500 yuan is a huge sum of money that he could never save in his lifetime.
But her daughter, her outstanding daughter, can earn 500 yuan in just one day!
Rutang makes 500 yuan by selling clothes, Yu Yaoyang goes to the cannery to exchange agricultural products, and sells meals in the evening. All together, the couple makes more than 500 yuan a day!
If Chen Fu, the bastard, knew about this, wouldn't he be so regretful that his intestines would turn green?
When Hao Mei thought about Chen Fu’s upset, she suddenly felt very happy. What was going on?
Hao Mei cannot understand the irrefutable truth that her ex is a bad person and she is the sunny day for the time being. She just follows her instinct and is happy.
"He will get angry, right?" Hao Mei's mouth curled up slightly.
"It's more than just a sore throat. His mouth is full of blisters!" Yu Yaoyang cooperated.
The curve of Hao Mei's mouth became a little bigger.
“Maybe he’ll bang his head against the wall!” Rutang followed the pace.
Hao Mei covered her mouth and said, "Oh, I'm so happy."
"I'm so worried that I can't even poop!" Xiaoyue also said.
"Hahaha, you guys are so mean." Hao Mei couldn't suppress her inner joy and laughed out loud.
The feeling of making money is so happy. When Hao Mei thinks about Chen Fu who is still struggling in the village and can't even get a bite of meat to eat, while her own family has been thriving and is on the road to becoming well-off, she feels refreshed and looks a lot younger and full of energy.
It was just a trial run and selling clothes was a huge success.
Knowing that business opportunities are fleeting, they had to strike while the iron was hot. So the Rutang couple acted decisively and asked Yu Yaoyang to take his brother, the 1,000 yuan they earned that day, plus the 1,000 yuan they had saved previously, a total of 2,000 yuan, and all their assets to the provincial capital overnight.
This time they are going to use all their savings to buy more goods, and they are going to cover the entire city D with their own clothes before midsummer.
Hao Mei would definitely not agree with this kind of "bankrupt" business move before, but now she is eager to support it with both hands. After seeing how her daughter makes money, she will not think that this is a waste of money.
Although there was no cash at home, Ru Tang and her mother who stayed at home were full of energy. They had goods to sell and all the goods they received were money.
In the evening, Rutang took Hao Mei to sell meals.
Hao Mei's legs have gotten much better now. She helps Rutang make dumplings while sitting in a wheelchair. Her family has now added a new dumpling project, which is very popular among the workers.
Knowing that her daughter is making money in the clothing business, Hao Mei is smiling every time she makes dumplings. She can't stop being in a good mood.
Just when Rutang was about to close the stall, an accident occurred.
