Chapter 26: We should take a long-term view



"Go try it on. If you're not satisfied, don't buy it." Xu Qingzhi took the dress and pushed her mother to the fitting room next to it. "Go quickly. When Dad comes back later, I have to accompany him to the express delivery station. Otherwise, we won't be able to make it in time."

Wang Yanmei was urged by Xu Qingzhi and had no time to think. She was already in the fitting room.

She looked at the new skirt in her hand. It had been a long time since she had bought herself new clothes. The family didn't have much money, and the old man was sick, so she didn't have the money or mood to buy new clothes. She could just mend old clothes and wear them. It was so expensive to buy clothes now. A nice-looking one would cost more than a hundred yuan.

Xu Qingzhi's voice came from outside, "Mom, try them on quickly. I picked out two more for you. Come out and have a look later."

"Oh, OK." Wang Yanmei responded, looking at the skirt in her hand. She couldn't refuse and disappoint her daughter. She remembered the 3,000 yuan in vegetable sales money in WeChat. OK, let's try it and splurge today.

Outside, the sales lady looked at Xu Qingzhi with shining eyes.

She covered her mouth and asked in a low voice: "Are you Xu Qingzhi?"

Xu Qingzhi looked at her and saw that she was a good-looking girl, so he nodded in agreement.

"Oh, I like you so much, can you sign an autograph for me?" The sales girl excitedly took out a pen and a postcard with Xu Qingzhi's name printed on it.

If you can take out a postcard with you, you must be a real fan.

Xu Qingzhi did not refuse, signed his name, and then whispered: "I signed for you, so can you cooperate with me in a play later?"

"Ah? Acting?"

"Well, later you can lie to my mom that those clothes are on sale and very cheap. I'll add you on WeChat and make up the difference for you on WeChat."

The sales lady's eyes widened. Oh my god, the star was right next to her, and the idol actually took the initiative to add her WeChat. She nodded, with tears in her eyes: "Okay."

"Sister Qingzhi, did you quit acting because of those haters? Are you okay now? What are you doing? We still have a lot of people supporting you. We discuss you every day in the group. I hope you can cheer up."

Xu Qingzhi patted her little head and said, "I'm quitting the entertainment circle, not because of the haters. Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm farming at home now. You're so cute. I'll ask my dad to send you some vegetables I grew later."

The sales lady's eyes were filled with shock this time. Farming? Wang Yanmei had changed her clothes and came out, so the sales lady didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Then, Xu Qingzhi gave Wang Yanmei a few more sets of clothes to try on, and they all looked good.

Xu Qingzhi looked at her mother who was struggling over which set to give up, and said, "Mom, buy them all. This store offers more discounts if you buy more, so it's more cost-effective."

"Really? How much discount?" Wang Yanmei looked at the sales girl expectantly.

"You have two skirts and three sets of clothes in total, so you can get a 20% discount," said the sales lady.

Wang Yanmei thought for a moment and said, "Then help me calculate how much it is in total."

The saleswoman took out a calculator and calculated, "888 yuan, what a coincidence, it's an auspicious number."

Wang Yanmei frowned and looked at her daughter tentatively, "It seems... there is no need for so many clothes. There are too many to wear."

"If you buy less, you won't get a 20% discount. I'll pay." Xu Qingzhi took out his mobile phone to scan the code, but Wang Yanmei pressed it back.

"Where do you get to spend money? Mom has money here." Wang Yanmei quickly took out her mobile phone and called up the payment code.

This was what Qingzhi taught her before, she didn't know how to do it before.

The sales lady collected the money, packed the clothes, and sent the person out personally. Not long after she sent the person out, her phone dinged and she received a new four-digit transfer.

After leaving the store, Wang Yanmei passed by a men's clothing store and went in to buy two sets of stylish summer clothes for her man, with a total price of more than 900 yuan.

Wang Yanmei took Xu Qingzhi to visit some clothing stores for young girls. She picked out clothes for her daughter to try on. The smile on her face never stopped. In the end, she bought two sets of clothes, spending more than 800 yuan.

After shopping, on the way back, Wang Yanmei said with a smile: "If your father knew that I spent all the money I earned today before it even warmed up, he would probably blame me."

"How could that be possible? If my dad knew that I bought him new clothes, he would be so happy that he would not be able to contain himself."

The mother and daughter returned to the rental house carrying large and small bags.

Xu Fuqiang happened to have just returned and was sitting on the sofa drinking water.

He looked at the large and small packages and asked, "Are you going to buy some goods?"

Wang Yanmei and Xu Qingzhi looked at each other and laughed.

"Dad, Mom bought you new clothes. Try them on to see if they fit you." Xu Qingzhi said.

Xu Fuqiang went back to his room and tried on the clothes. He looked at himself in the small mirror on the wardrobe and saw that they looked good from left to right.

Wang Yanmei sorted out her clothes and said, "I bought a few sets of clothes, two for you and two for Qingzhi. The total cost was over 2,600."

She thought that the man, who was always tight-fisted with money, would complain a little.

Xu Fuqiang said cheerfully, "I should buy it. When I make more money from selling vegetables, I want to buy a van. It will be convenient to deliver vegetables. Yanmei, do you think it's okay?"

"People just want something new. They can't buy it every time. A car costs tens of thousands." Wang Yanmei shook her head. "I want to pay back 80,000 yuan of the 100,000 yuan first, and keep 20,000 yuan to open a noodle stall. Having a small business will give me peace of mind."

Xu Fuqiang nodded, "Okay, I'll do as you say."

He changed out of his clothes and put on his old clothes again, "I'm going to go and deliver the vegetables with my daughter."

"Go ahead."

Xu Fuqiang and Xu Qingzhi went to the express station again.

Xu Fuqiang originally wanted to send cold chain fresh food express, but when he found out the price, he found it was too expensive. It cost more than 60 yuan to send a single express from this company.

"Just send it by ordinary express. The vegetables we sent to my aunt's house last time were not spoiled." Xu Qingzhi knew that her father was stingy with money.

But Xu Fuqiang thought about it and gritted his teeth: "It's better to send it by express delivery. It will arrive tomorrow, right? Young man."

The courier nodded, "Yes, the express will arrive in the city today. If we take a plane, it will arrive tomorrow morning. It's very fast."

"Okay, then let's order fresh express." Xu Fuqiang asked Xu Qingzhi to teach him how to scan the code to place an order, and he finished putting together all the orders with some effort.

Coming out of the delivery point, Xu Fuqiang said earnestly: "We still have to look at the long term. The small amount of money from delivery is still cost-effective compared to the money earned from selling vegetables, but we have to let people eat fresh vegetables, so that we can have repeat customers."

Xu Qingzhi smiled and didn't mention that he had pinched the short-acting spiritual energy spell. "I know, Dad, what you said really makes sense."

It's a good thing that her father has this awareness. After all, the vegetables she grows are delicious and full of vitality, so she is sure to attract repeat customers.

She couldn't just use the spiritual energy techniques to deliver them to people every time, because that would probably make her dizzy due to exhaustion of spiritual energy.
