Chapter 5959 [Update 1]
Jiang Bai couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, his mind was full of rhythmic "shshshshsh...what?" '
He felt as if he had been hit hard, his soul had been blown away, his mind was completely confused, but the loud speaker at the door was still shouting rhythmically: "29, 39, all 29, 39, all on sale!"
"Director He, you bastard! Director He, you bastard!..."
Yes, that's right, the voice in the loudspeaker is his sister's voice, but why can't he understand when the voices are combined together?
What the hell is this?
He looked at the loud speaker in confusion as it continued to shout. As the loudspeaker shouted, people on the street seemed to be attracted by an invisible and intangible magic, and people gradually poured into their store.
"Hey, new clothes again?"
"Has that bastard Director He been caught?"
"How shameless! That sister-in-law is not a good person either!"
People who came into the store gossiped while choosing clothes.
The truth is that when Wang Yong was around, he made up all the details of this gossip. Moreover, his uncle owned a clothing factory and he had visited there during holidays. Although he didn't completely understand how clothing factories produce clothes, the details he said also stood up to further digging. Isn't it true that the more he talks, the more similar it is?
Grandpa Jiang stood up from the rocking chair, folded it up, and put it behind the curtain to make more room for the guests. He said, "Yes, these are all new clothes that arrived last night."
"Where is that young man? Why did he change? He is so tall and fair!"
Grandpa Jiang smiled and said, "He went back home after selling all the clothes he bought before. This is the new clothes he sent after returning to the garment factory."
Everyone likes new clothes.
The clothing factories in Guangzhou and Shenzhen all imitate the clothes worn by Hong Kong stars. The main focus is on the star effect, so they are very fashionable.
Seeing Jiang Bai ironing clothes diligently, some smart people took off their own clothes after buying them and asked Jiang Bai to iron them together.
Jiang Bai kept moving his hands, but he said, "If I damage your clothes by ironing them, I won't be able to pay you back!"
He was wearing the coat that Jiang Ning had picked out for him, and underneath it was a sweater that Jiang Song had left behind and that Jiang's mother had crocheted anew. He was tall and thin, and stood there like a clothes hanger.
Originally, women's clothing sold well in the store, but few people bought men's clothing. Even if they did, it was just aunts buying one for their husbands at home. They mainly wanted the clothing to be warm and resistant to dirt, and had no requirements on whether it looked good or not.
Now Jiang Bai, a handsome young man, poked his head over there and asked about the clothes he was wearing, wanting to buy one for his son.
After learning that this dress only had the largest and smallest sizes left, I didn’t mind. Since my son is still young, I bought the smallest size: “This size is perfect. I can still wear it in two years.”
For older sons, I buy the largest size: "What's the problem with bigger clothes? Won't he grow taller? It's so cold in winter, and I still need to wear at least two sweaters inside!"
As for whether it fits? In this era, it doesn't matter whether it fits or not. Every household buys clothes that are bigger so that they can have more fabric. The eldest child will wear them, then the second child. If the clothes are too big, they can be altered to be smaller, but if they are too small, they cannot be altered to be bigger.
When Jiang Ning came back from the Internet cafe and went to the store, she saw Jiang Bai in the store. He was completely overwhelmed by the constant flow of customers and was busy and flustered.
He was busy with the accounting, ironing clothes, and always had to be careful not to let anyone take away any of his clothes. His eyes and hands never stopped.
Grandpa Jiang, on the other hand, had been squeezed to the innermost part. He sat on his bed behind the curtain, just looking at the crowded people in the store and was unable to help at all.
The original single bed was placed next to the curtain, with the bed and the curtain as a partition, leaving a small space inside for storing things. Now the bed was pushed directly to the wall, and all the packages were moved by Jiang Bai under the bed and to the back door. Even the curtain that served as a partition was pushed back and extended to the bed. Grandpa Jiang was sitting on the curtain at this moment.
It was Jiang Bai who asked Grandpa Jiang to sit on the curtain like this, so that the curtain could block everything behind it, and Grandpa could also help watch some things.
There were so many people that Jiang Bai didn't even have time to drink a sip of water the whole morning. He originally could have found time to iron his clothes, but later on he didn't even have time to do that. He was constantly collecting money, giving change, helping people take clothes, and packing them. He also had to keep an eye on the customers at all times to make sure they didn't pack one extra piece of clothing when there were so many people.
It is indeed as Jiang's mother said, Jiang Bai's eyes are full of life.
Seeing Jiang Ning coming back, Jiang Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief and called out to her, "Ning Ning, come collect the money and make the change!"
Fortunately, Jiang Ning had prepared enough one dollar beforehand, otherwise there wouldn't be enough change.
Jiang Bai has been collecting money this morning, and now the drawer containing money seems to be filled with paper instead of money. There is too much money, and he has gone from being shocked at first to being numb now.
He felt that he could earn at least two hundred yuan today!
one day! Two hundred dollars!
Many people earn less than 200 yuan a month!
Jiang Ning saw Jiang Bai was busy all the time, and it was time for lunch, so she quickly called him, "Go to the cafeteria to eat something, and get some food for grandpa as well."
Jiang Bai was worried about his sister, thinking that there were too many people and she would be just as busy as grandpa, so he said, "You go get the food, get me and grandpa's food together!" He also said, "Come and take my place, I'll go out for a while."
Jiang Bai quickly went out to use the toilet, washed his hands under the tap at the back door, and hurried back to ask Jiang Ning to get some food.
Jiang Ning came back relatively early, and there were not many people in the cafeteria. He first ordered three meals, then took the kettle to boil water. After delivering his own boiled water to the dormitory, he went downstairs again.
When He Xiaofang saw Jiang Ning bringing up the hot water, she quickly took her own kettle and went down: "Wait for me, I'll come too!"
Jiang Ning stopped and said, "I'm not eating in the cafeteria. I'm going to take food to my grandfather."
He Xiaofang felt a little disappointed after hearing this, but she still followed him and said goodbye to Jiang Ning at the canteen entrance. She saw Jiang Ning carrying a pot of water and three large rice bowls in his hands, and hurried to get some rice. Then she caught up with him, took the kettle from Jiang Ning, and said, "You have too many things in your hands. Let me take them to you."
Jiang Ning looked at her and did not refuse. He Xiaofang followed Jiang Ning to the shop that Jiang Ning rented.
Maybe it was lunch time and many people went home to cook or eat, so there were fewer people in the store.
Jiang Bai also breathed a sigh of relief and gulped down a glass of water.
He kept talking and selling things for the whole morning. He seemed to have said everything he had ever said in his life in just one day, and his throat was smoking from talking.
I don’t know why these aunts and grandmas like to ask about Jiangnan Garment Factory.
He didn't even know what Jiangnan Garment Factory was.
They also liked to take off his coat. There were so many coats like his hanging outside, but they just liked the one he was wearing. He was so scared that he quickly zipped up the zipper all the way to the top and said, "I've worn this coat for many days. It's worn out. I won't sell it!"
In the end, he had to put on a cold face and be serious in order to stop the aunts from wanting the coat he was wearing.
Today, at least twenty pieces of the coat he was wearing were sold.
There were fewer people in the store, so Jiang Bai let them shop around while he sat on Grandpa Jiang's bed, drank some water and rested.
It was He Xiaofang's first time to visit Jiang Ning's store. She looked up curiously and said, "Ning Ning, is this store owned by your family?"
Because she had no money, she stayed in the dormitory on weekends and didn't go out. She didn't know that a clothing store had opened in front of the school. The gossip about Jiangnan Garment Factory did reach the ears of the students in No. 1 Middle School, but He Xiaofang only talked to Jiang Ning and no one else would play with her. Xu Xiuli was also not the type of person who talked about gossip with her, so she has never heard of the gossip until now.
At this time, the loudspeaker had been shouting for the whole morning and the battery was out of power. Grandpa Jiang turned off the loudspeaker and took the tape recorder to charge.
Jiang Ning introduced him to He Xiaofang: "This is my grandfather, and this is my second brother, whom you have met."
He Xiaofang was particularly polite: "Hello, Grandpa Jiang, hello, Second Brother Ningning."
She felt a little awkward. She put the kettle down and was about to go back, but Jiang Ning stopped her and said, "Why don't you stay and eat together?"
She ordered three dishes, two servings of braised pork, one serving of stir-fried lotus root slices, and one serving of Chinese cabbage.
How could He Xiaofang have the nerve to stay during their meal time? Aren't you just trying to freeload on other people's food? In their village, people would talk about this, so she waved her hands and said with a smile: "No, no, I still have to do the test paper in the dormitory!"
Every Friday before the holiday, the school teachers would give them papers to do on the weekend, one paper for each subject, so there were seven papers in total for seven subjects.
He Xiaofang does her homework slowly, and if she doesn't put more thought and time into it, she will never be able to finish it.
Jiang Ning not only had to review exams in the afternoon, but also had to do homework for the competition class, which was why she had no time to be with He Xiaofang. The main focus of high school teachers was to occupy all of the students' remaining time. She was not a talented contestant in her previous life, and she is still not one in this life. It's just that maybe with the improvement of her experience, her comprehension has also improved, but she still has to spend a lot of time studying and working hard.
Jiang Bai still has to study in the afternoon, so Jiang Ning wants to close the shop or let Grandpa Jiang sell it, but Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Bai both oppose it.
"You finally have a weekend when you can make some money, but you still want to close the shop?" Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Bai both thought that Jiang Ning had become stupid because of studying too much.
Jiang Bai could imagine that the business on this street was probably not very good.
And today, although he was tired, he was very happy.
He has always wanted to earn money and doesn't want to study in school, but he has to study.
Today, his desire to make money was finally satisfied. It was really a lot of money. Business was so good!
Jiang Ning's shop also brought good business to the whole street. People who came to Jiang's shop to buy clothes couldn't just buy clothes and leave, they always had to walk around the street.
This street mainly caters to students, so the items sold here are not expensive. For example, the shop next door sells egg cakes. The egg cakes made by the owner are fragrant and soft. When they are just out of the pan, the fragrance can be smelled along half the street. Who wouldn't buy two kilograms to try after smelling this?
The lady boss of the egg cake shop has been smiling from ear to ear these past two days. The egg cakes in the shop are sold out as soon as they come out of the batch. The boss, who was originally very idle, became busy throughout the weekend, and the lady boss became busy too.
Busy weighing egg cakes and collecting money!
It was not until around five in the evening that Jiang Ning came to the store with a packed rice bowl and said that the store was going to close. Jiang Bai was reluctant to do so and wanted to keep the store open until seven o'clock when the No. 1 Middle School closed.
Jiang Ning ate while speechlessly asking: "Aren't you going to evening self-study?"
The evening self-study for senior high school students starts at six o'clock.
After Jiang Bai sent the last group of guests away, he closed the door and sat on Grandpa Jiang's bed to count money.
He was filled with indescribable joy and his eyes were shining, even though the money did not belong to him.
He decided that he would make money after the college entrance examination!
He doesn't want to work, he also wants to do business and sell things.
He got great joy from selling things today!
In that day alone, he sold more than 300 pieces of clothing, which means he earned more than 300 yuan!
Earn three hundred a day!
If he had a tail, you would definitely see a big furry tail behind him, swaying leisurely and happily from side to side.
He counted back and forth, and Grandpa Jiang sat beside him, happily watching him count. Both the grandfather and grandson were immersed in great joy and disbelief.
Although Grandpa Jiang saw how popular the store was last week, he didn’t know how much money the store made.
He used to earn twenty or thirty yuan a day, which he thought was a lot, but now, it’s only three hundred yuan! one day!
Oh my god!
Jiang Ning, who was sitting aside eating and smiling as she watched the grandfather and grandson happily counting their money, silently endured the words that the actual profit would increase tenfold.
Black-hearted capitalist Jiang Ning took out a ten-yuan note and stuffed it into Jiang Bai's hand: "This is your salary for today."
Jiang Bai was shocked by Jiang Ning's sudden generosity, his eyes widened in disbelief: "Ten dollars? For me?"
His eyes were originally round, and when they were widened like this, they looked as bright as a small animal, which made Jiang Ning want to laugh.
He took the ten yuan and turned it over and over, admiring it. As if he was afraid that Jiang Ning would go back on his word, he quickly put the money into his trouser pocket and pressed it down with his hand.
