In fact, Jiang Yue set the price of the skirt at 30 yuan just to test the waters and see if anyone would really be willing to spend a month's salary to buy a skirt.
It turns out that no matter what era, money from women and children is the easiest to make.
Jiang Yue randomly picked up three young women without using any sales pitch. The first two were attracted by their nice clothes immediately, and the last one tried them on and paid immediately.
Of course, anyone who can spend thirty dollars to buy a skirt must be from a well-off family.
Before, Jiang Yue thought that she could earn four dollars a day by selling French fries, which would be more than a hundred dollars a month. She even boasted about it to Gu Ye. It seems that she was short-sighted.
Although making French fries does not require much technical skills, it is very time-consuming.
Wash, cut, soak, and then fry in a frying pan. The oil must be enough, otherwise it will be like the French fries sold by the middle-aged woman in the Qingshui Town Vegetable Market this morning, not crispy on the outside and still raw on the inside.
But oil is also supplied in a fixed quantity. Not only do you need money, you also need oil coupons to buy it.
In fact, even if Xu Ergou's incident didn't happen, Jiang Yue was planning to stop selling French fries for a while. The reason was that there was not enough cooking oil at home for her to use!
Helping Auntie Yang sell skirts today gave Jiang Yue some inspiration. She had been selling French fries for seven or eight days, and even if she sold quickly it would take several hours to sell out all of them. In total she made more than 30 yuan. It was all hard work, but today she only sold three skirts and earned 30 yuan.
So Jiang Yue came up with the idea of buying fabrics, designing patterns, making ready-made clothes, and then selling them.
But buying cloth requires cloth coupons. Although Gu Ye gave her a lot of cloth coupons, they were only enough for her own use. If she wanted to develop this into a business, she had to have a source of cloth, and cloth that could be bought without coupons.
As soon as Jiang Yue left the department store and rode away on her bicycle, the saleswoman waved to the man who had been staring at Jiang Yue in another food area, "Xiao Cao, stop looking, everyone is gone!"
The man looked to be around 30 years old, or maybe because he looked older, his actual age was younger. His hair was combed meticulously, and he wore a white Dacron shirt, black pants, and black leather sandals.
Very standard attire for employees of state-owned enterprises.
"How is it? Sister Zhao, did you find out?" Cao Yong eagerly grabbed the arm of the salesperson, Sister Zhao.
He had been attracted to the girl since she first came to the department store to buy cloth. He had never seen such a beautiful woman before. She had fair skin, big eyes, red lips, and a thin waist. There was nothing ugly about her. Even the way she looked at people was so seductive. Once she glanced at him, Cao Yong felt that he was in love at that moment.
Sister Zhao smiled and patted Cao Yong's hand. "Sister Zhao is doing things, are you still worried? I asked her and she said that the little girl who called her sister was actually her daughter, and she also said that her husband was a soldier."
Cao Yong was immediately disappointed, his face turned pale, "What? She's already married?"
It was so hard to find a woman who caught his eye, but she was already married!
Cao Yong's face immediately drooped. He felt disappointed, sad, and a little resentful. Which man had gotten the chance to marry such a beautiful woman?
Sister Zhao said mysteriously at this time: "Xiao Cao, don't be anxious, I think that girl is lying!"
"What do you mean?" Cao Yong became excited again.
"I think the girl is not very old, at most eighteen or nineteen years old, but the little girl looks four or five years old. The girl said she is the little girl's mother. Could it be that she gave birth to a child at the age of thirteen or fourteen? How is that possible!" Sister Zhao pouted and analyzed confidently.
Cao Yong's eyes lit up, "Yes! He's still in junior high school at the age of thirteen or fourteen!"
"And she also said that her husband is a soldier. Soldiers need to go through a political review before they can marry. It's impossible for a thirteen or fourteen-year-old to get married!" Sister Zhao laughed. "In my opinion, the girl is probably too beautiful and is often asked about it, so she deliberately said that outside!"
Cao Yong felt that Sister Zhao's analysis made sense, and immediately smiled again, "Then I'll leave this matter to Sister Zhao. If she and I can succeed, you will definitely get a big red envelope! I'll take care of your family's matter, too!"
Sister Zhao nudged Cao Yong with her elbow and gave him a look, "Then I'll be waiting to drink at your wedding!"
Cao Yong chuckled, and Sister Zhao whispered a few words to him, and Cao Yong nodded repeatedly.
After Cao Yong left, another salesperson in the electrical appliance section came up to Sister Zhao and said, "What did you just say about a wedding? Manager Cao is getting married? This is a rare event. Doesn't Manager Cao insist on marrying a beautiful woman? He has dated so many times but still couldn't find anyone he liked! Whose girl did you pick this time?"
Sister Zhao narrowed her eyes and smiled: "You will know when the time comes!"
In fact, there was a reason why Sister Zhao was so sure that Jiang Yue was lying. She knew some physiognomy and she had seen that the girl was still a virgin. So when Jiang Yue said that the little girl was her daughter, Sister Zhao didn't believe it.
There is no virgin in the world who can give birth to a child!
Jiang Yue didn't know that she was arranged to go on another blind date. After leaving the department store, she rode her bike around the county town and actually spotted several people selling French fries stealthily.
It seems that the business of selling French fries cannot be continued for the time being!
After returning to the military family compound, Jiang Yue first went to Lian Rongrong's house to pick up Ningning. Ningning had been looking forward to it for a long time, and when she saw Jiang Yue coming, she immediately ran out.
"Ningning, get on, I'll take you for a ride on my bike!" Jiang Yue rode to the county town and back, feeling good about himself.
Lian Rongrong carried Ningning to the back seat of Jiang Yue's bike and reminded her worriedly, "Ningning, hold on to your mother's waist tightly and don't let go! Jiang Yue, ride slower! Be careful not to fall!"
