Chapter 303 Red shirts are popular on the street
"It's the same red shirt Xiaoqing wore at the Spring Festival Gala! I want one, how much is it?"
Today, Lin Xiaotong and Gao Xiulan, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, took the bus with two bags of clothes to Xiushui Street to practice setting up a stall.
We arrived fairly early, but there were already quite a few people occupying the space.
Lin Xiaotong was wearing a tweed coat today with the buttons unbuttoned, allowing you to see a red shirt underneath.
The big waves make her figure look particularly tall.
Some time ago, when she and Xie Yi accompanied the elderly couple to the hospital for a physical examination, she also measured their height and found that he was now nearly 1.7 meters tall.
With a tender face and tall stature, he looks more like a long-legged Arctic hare.
He Cuicui joked that this person thought he was not very tall when he was squatting, and he had to look up when he stood up.
Gao Xiulan took a pole, set up a simple clothes hanger, and took the red shirt out of the bag.
The bright red color is so dazzling in the sun that many young girls can't walk when they see it.
There is also a handwritten sign in front of the stall, which was made by Lin Xiaotong herself.
It says on it - selling Spring Festival Gala Xiaoqing shirts and Yangcheng bell-bottom pants.
Gao Xiulan began to shout: "Don't miss this if you pass by! You deserve the most popular 'Xiaoqing shirt' from the Spring Festival Gala!"
Lin Xiaotong cooperated by picking up a piece of clothing and spreading it out with a smile on her face.
When he saw someone coming, he immediately went to greet them.
The sister who came with me immediately took one, shook it, looked at the pattern, put it on to try it out, and asked her companions.
"Lili, does this look good on me?"
"It looks good. This red is perfect. Auntie, can we get a discount if we buy two?"
When Gao Xiulan heard someone asking about the price, she immediately replied.
"Girl, they're 22 each. If you buy two, I'll give you a dollar off, okay?"
"Is it so expensive? A women's polyester shirt in the department store is only 15 yuan?
Could you please give us a discount, Auntie? How about we buy two?"
The girl said it was expensive, but she was reluctant to let go of the shirt.
You can tell at a glance that this person wants to buy it.
Shouldn't we seize the opportunity while it's hot?
"Oh my, girl, this 'Xiaoqing shirt' is super popular right now.
I imported these goods from Tianjin, and the purchase price is about this amount. You don’t need an invoice to buy from me.
Look at this knitted material, you can buy it and wear it.
The quality is top notch, you get what you pay for.
When you buy clothes from my aunt, you won’t be cheated or cheated, you will buy clothes that suit your heart!
Gao Xiulan gestured twenty yuan. She didn't lie, it was just the original price.
I bought the goods from an acquaintance and they gave me the wholesale price, only sixteen.
She sold them for twenty-two yuan each, making six yuan a piece. Selling clothes was much more profitable than selling melon seeds before.
This time I'm here to test the waters and practice.
Selling clothes requires good eyesight. It will be easy to sell if you choose popular items.
The New Year hasn't ended yet, and everyone hasn't spent all the money in their pockets, so when they see nice clothes, they can't help but want to spend money.
Lin Xiaotong also hung the bell-bottom pants in the other bag on the pole, deliberately putting the two pieces of clothing together.
"Oh, Meiling actually has bell-bottoms here!"
Lili loves to dance disco.
These bell-bottom pants are designed to be smaller on top and wider on the bottom. They sway from side to side when you walk, which is super cool.
Bell-bottom pants with wide legs are her absolute favorite. When she sees them, she can't walk anymore and her feet stick to the ground.
"You have a really good taste. These bell-bottom pants are from Guangzhou and are the most fashionable style.
Look, the trouser legs are locked together, and there are two slip pockets on both sides.
You have a slim figure, and wearing a bright red shirt on the upper body and a pair of flared pants on the lower body, the two together are perfect."
Lin Xiaotong looked at the man's figure and immediately recommended an outfit.
"Lili, didn't you say you were going to a sorority? I could buy you a dress."
Gao Xiulan struck while the iron was hot: "Bell-bottom pants are genuine Guangzhou products. I will sell them to you in their original form for 19 yuan each.
If you want the red shirt, I'll give it to you for one dollar less, twenty-one and you can take it away.
You don’t need cloth coupons to buy from me. A good set of clothes can be worn for several years, so it’s a good deal if you buy it.”
After saying this, he looked painful, as if he had suffered a huge loss.
"Look at me, my daughter. I'm wearing bell-bottom pants. Even at my age, my son said I looked ten years younger and in my early thirties."
Gao Xiulan had her hair permed a few years ago. She wore a dark red jacket and bell-bottom pants.
Of course, I still wore an extra pair of pants in this weather.
She is also tall, and her bell-bottom pants don't drag on the ground, making this outfit look quite Western.
"Okay, give me one then."
Lin Xiaotong took a paper bag, packed the two pieces of clothing, and handed it to Lili.
He took back the four Great Unity notes, stuffed them into his waist pocket, and quickly put on a pair of pants.
Meiling was also holding a red shirt in her hand and was hesitant. But when she saw her companion paid so readily, she no longer hesitated.
Just buy it during the New Year, they all have salaries anyway.
Two orders were placed in a short while, and the speed was so fast that the people at the stall next to him were amazed.
But he didn't say anything sarcastic. On the contrary, he smiled when he met Lin Xiaotong's eyes.
The people who set up stalls in Xiushui Street are all smart people and will not make enemies easily. After all, more friends mean more paths.
Taking out another item from the bag, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
The cooperation between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law makes work less tiring.
"My dear, you have fair skin and look good in red. Is this your partner? Are you going to get the marriage certificate after the New Year?
Then I must buy this one. Wouldn’t it be perfect for taking photos?"
"You don't have to worry about the hem of your bell-bottom pants being too long; they fit perfectly with your leather shoes and won't drag on the ground.
Is your waist too big? Try this smaller size.
Your waist is too thin, or you could wear a belt.
Yes, there should be some space around the waist, just enough to tuck in a piece of clothing."
"Don't you have a suitable top? Don't leave just yet.
Look at this shirt, is it okay? Yes, it’s the one Xiaoqing wore on the Spring Festival Gala. Many people bought it.”
Nowadays, people are not afraid of wearing the same clothes as others. Clothes have a limited variety of materials, colors and styles, so it is inevitable that people will wear the same clothes as others.
“The red color won’t fade, so take it home and rinse it with water separately first.
It's absolutely great material, from the Jinshi Textile Factory next door. Try to touch it. Would my aunt lie to you? "
They welcomed one wave of people and sent another wave away. The two of them acted separately, each responsible for a type of clothing.
By the end, my lips were almost splitting and my throat was about to smoke.
Selling things requires a lot of effort, eyesight and energy, and some people are dishonest and try to take advantage of the situation.
When Lin Xiaotong had free time, she ran to the tea stall to find Zhao Yunyun and bought two bowls of cold tea.
Zhao Yunyun moved her tea stall here before the New Year and her business is pretty good.
A stall for roasting sweet potatoes was also added. Fu Zhenggang was tending the coal stove and busy roasting the sweet potatoes.
I took a casual look and found that Xia Caiyun was not there today.
He handed the tea to Gao Xiulan.
"Mom, have some tea to quench your thirst."
"Why."
After refilling their tea, the two continued to sell clothes diligently.
My wallet is getting fatter and fatter, which indicates that business will be good this morning.
The two big bags I brought were almost empty. The red shirts sold better, with only three left, and there were only seven or eight pairs of bell-bottom pants left.
"Someone is coming! That group of people is coming again! Run!"
A lookout came running from the street corner and shouted at the top of his voice to report the news as soon as possible.
For a moment, the stall was in chaos and everyone scattered.
"These bastards, these vampires, only know how to come here to collect protection money!"
Zhao Yunyun cursed but didn't hesitate to pack up her stall.
"Fu Zhenggang, what are you still standing there for? Put the coal stove on the cart!
If you break the tea bowl again this time, you will sleep on the roof tonight!"
Lin Xiaotong and Gao Xiulan each carried a bag and stuffed the signboard into their armpits.
The two ran out of the street and happened to meet a bus. They took a big step and got on it.
When she sat down on the chair to catch her breath, Lin Xiaotong realized that they were sitting in the wrong direction.
"Mom, this is the way to Panjiayuan."
"It's okay. The sesame bowl at home was broken, so I just happened to stop by the flea market to pick up some pickle jars."
