Before leaving, Jiang Yue followed Su Xin to the warehouse and bought another fifty meters of defective white cotton cloth.
"Jiang Yue, your clothes are made of this cloth?" Su Xin finally reacted.
"Yes!" Jiang Yue did not hide it. She still wanted to have long-term cooperation with the supply and marketing cooperative, and she would have to buy cloth frequently in the future. Even if she didn't say it now, Su Xin would guess it sooner or later.
"There's just one spot of this cloth that's been stained with dye. Actually, there's no problem with the quality. Or maybe you have an idea? Embroider a panda on the chest to cover it up completely." Su Xin couldn't help but admire Jiang Yue's creative ideas.
Jiang Yue selected a few more patterns from the fabrics Su Xin brought out, and planned to make a few more women's clothes in addition to children's clothes to test the waters. When they finally calculated the money, Su Xin gave Jiang Yue a discount and rounded off the amount, and the total was 28 yuan.
The size Su Xin measured was also enough, which made Jiang Yue feel more comfortable.
Just now, Manager Su lowered her price from eight yuan to seven yuan, saying that he would sell it at the supply and marketing cooperative for ten yuan, and the profit of three yuan would not be much. But in the blink of an eye, he raised the price to twelve yuan, and made five yuan for each piece of clothing.
Jiang Yue needed help from others, so naturally she couldn't say anything, but this also strengthened her determination to open her own shop.
The cloth was torn, but Jiang Yue was worried again about how to transport such a thick pile of cloth back.
If Gu Ye had driven over yesterday afternoon, he could have just loaded up a carload of cloth. But now Jiang Yue only rode a bicycle, and brought Ning Ning with her, so there was no place to put the cloth.
"Su Xin, is there any tricycle delivering goods nearby?" Jiang Yue thought of looking for a rickshaw to deliver the goods.
"Yes, yes, but these are cloth, and I'm afraid they will get dirty on the tricycle. If you're not in a hurry, wait for our supply and marketing cooperative's truck to come back at noon, and I'll arrange the delivery for you." Su Xin folded the torn cloth neatly and said very enthusiastically.
"Okay!" Jiang Yue couldn't help but agree when she heard this. "That's troublesome!"
"Leave me your address," Su Xin said with a smile, "No trouble! I may need to trouble you in the future."
Jiang Yue thought Su Xin was just being polite and didn't take it to heart.
Su Xin paid Jiang Yue's bill and agreed to deliver ten more T-shirts in two days. Jiang Yue then took Ning Ning and left the supply and marketing cooperative.
Jiang Yue went to the vegetable market on the way. At that time, the meat stalls were full of leftover meat and lymph meat, which Jiang Yue would not buy. However, she loved meat and would feel weak if she didn't eat meat for a day, so Jiang Yue went to the seafood market and bought river shrimps and grass carp.
Jiang Yue took a special look at the seafood section. There were river shrimps and millet shrimps, but there were indeed no crayfish for sale. It seems that crayfish has not yet successfully made it to the dining table in this era.
On the way back, Jiang Yue went to the scrap yard.
The old man with only two teeth left just opened the door and was sitting at the door smoking a pipe. When he saw Jiang Yue, he was quite happy, "You're here!"
Jiang Yue parked the bike, picked Ningning up, and greeted her with a smile: "Uncle, I hope you are in good health recently!"
"Okay! Okay!" The old man took a few puffs of his pipe and blew out smoke rings. He looked at Ning Ning who was following Jiang Yue with his cloudy eyes and asked in surprise, "Is this little girl yours?"
Jiang Yue smiled and said, "Yes, my daughter! Ningning, say hello to grandpa!"
"Hello, Grandpa!" Ningning no longer hides when she sees people and greets them openly.
"Okay! Okay!" The old man looked very happy. "Come in. We have received a lot of books recently. Take a look and see if there is anything you want."
"Okay!" Jiang Yue has been very busy recently and hasn't come to buy books for a while. When she heard the old man say that he had received new books, she went in happily.
Jiang Yue really found a lot of good things, including ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, and she also found a huanghuali table. Who is so wasteful that he even sells the huanghuali table to the scrap yard?
Moreover, Jiang Yue could tell at a glance that the table was very old and should be an antique furniture passed down from the Ming and Qing dynasties.
"Uncle, how much is this table?"
"If you want it, give twenty dollars and take it away." The old man pursed his toothless mouth.
"Twenty yuan?" Jiang Yue was stunned when she heard that. This was a Huanghuali table from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it was only sold for twenty yuan?
"It's missing a leg." The old man walked in with a hunched back and stretched out his hand to pry open a table leg. "This table was seized by the young generals during a house search a few years ago. We just found it in the warehouse a while ago. We heard that the original owner had no one left and didn't want to go back, so they dragged it to the scrapyard."
"If you don't mind that the leg is missing, just take it back. It's eighteen yuan, no less. I spent twelve yuan to buy it." The old man thought Jiang Yue thought it was too expensive, so he took the initiative to give him two more yuan.
Jiang Yue didn't complain about the price at all. This is antique furniture, it's too cheap!
"Uncle, do you have any more furniture like this? I should have a set." Jiang Yue was very tempted.
"I'll keep an eye on it for you. The county is taking inventory of the warehouse these days, and there should be more things being brought in." The old man turned around and went out again with his back hunched.
Jiang Yue knew that in recent years, some people who were once labeled as rightists had been rehabilitated, and the real estate and other valuables that were confiscated during the house searches would be gradually returned after inventory.
However, some families are not so lucky. Before they can wait for redress, all their family members have died. This is the situation that the old man just said, where the county cannot return their property even if it wants to.
Jiang Yue didn't expect that she would have such a pleasant surprise on this trip today. Excited, she searched the scrap yard inside and out again, and actually found a few small items.
Jiang Yue picked a lot of books today, a total of thirty kilograms, dozens of books, as well as calligraphy and paintings. The books and paintings were five cents per kilogram, and the total cost was only two or three yuan.
Including the antique Huanghuali table, Jiang Yue gave the old man a total of twenty-three yuan.
Although the old man offered to lower the price by two yuan, Jiang Yue felt that it was a great bargain to buy an antique Huanghuali table at that price, so she still gave him twenty yuan.
Then the question arose again, the table was so big, how was she going to transport it back?
"My nephew is going to the city today. His production team has a horse-drawn carriage that can help you transport it back." The old man took two puffs of his cigarette and pursed his mouth with only two teeth left. "Wait here."
After saying that, the old man walked out with vigorous steps, and after only two steps, Jiang Yue saw him turn back.
"Didn't you say last time that you wanted a piece of white porcelain with a green background? It just so happens that I received one a few days ago. Do you want it? Do you want me to take you to have a look?" The old man had his hands behind his back. He was thin and looked shorter than Jiang Yue because of his hunchback. He had to look up to look at Jiang Yue when he spoke.
When Jiang Yue heard this, she felt numb from head to toe. What was the old man talking about? Porcelain with white background and blue and white flowers? Was it the Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain she was thinking of?
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Jiang Yue said the word "Yes" three times in a row. She remembered very clearly that in the original book, Pei Xueyun found the Yuan blue and white porcelain at a scrap yard, and later sold it at a sky-high price of 100 million yuan.
In fact, money is not important to Jiang Yue. What is important is that she can seize Pei Xueyun’s fortune!
Jiang Yue felt very happy when she thought that the Yuan blue and white porcelain that Pei Xueyun had gone through so much trouble to find fell into her hands.
