Chapter 5959 [Update 1]
Jiang Bai couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, his head was full of rhythmic "What the hell...what is this?"
He seemed to have been hit hard, his soul was blown away, his head was full of confusion, but the loudspeaker at the door was still shouting rhythmically: "29, 39, all 29, 39, sale!"
"Congratulations to the factory director, you bastard! Congratulations to the factory director, you bastard!..."
Yes, that's right, the voice in the loudspeaker was his sister's voice, but why couldn't he understand this combination of voices?
What the hell is this?
He looked at the loudspeaker in confusion, still shouting continuously. With the shouting of the loudspeaker, people on the street seemed to be attracted by an invisible and intangible magic, and the flow of people gradually poured into their store.
"Hey, new clothes have arrived again?"
"Has that bastard factory manager He been arrested?"
"How shameless! That sister-
in-law is not a good person either!" People who entered the store gossiped while picking clothes.
In fact, when Wang Yong was here, he made up all the details of this gossip. Moreover, his uncle had his own clothing factory, and he also went there to play during his holidays. Although he didn't know everything about clothing factory production, the details he talked about were also able to withstand further digging. Isn't it more and more similar as he talked?
Grandpa Jiang got up from the rocking chair, put it away, and put it behind the curtain to make more space for the guests. He said, "Yes, these are all new clothes that just 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 after selling out his previous clothes. These are the new clothes he sent back after returning to the garment factory."
Everyone likes the new clothes that have just arrived.
The clothing factories in Guangzhou and Shenzhen imitate the clothes worn by Hong Kong stars. The main purpose is to create a star effect, which is very fashionable.
Seeing Jiang Bai still ironing clothes with an iron, some people who were smart and clever took off their clothes after buying clothes and let Jiang Bai iron them together. Jiang Bai
kept moving his hands, but he said, "If I iron your clothes badly, I won't pay you!"
He was wearing a coat that Jiang Qing picked for him, and a sweater that Jiang Song had left behind and had been crocheted by Jiang's mother. He was tall and thin, and he looked like a clothes hanger.
Originally, women's clothes sold well in the store, but few people bought men's clothes. Even if they did, it was the aunties who bought one for their husbands at home. They were all warm and dirt-resistant, and they didn't care about whether they looked good or not.
Now a handsome young man from Jiang Bai poked at him and asked about the clothes he was wearing, wanting to buy one for his son.
After learning that the clothes only had the largest and smallest sizes left, they didn't mind. For younger sons, they bought the smallest size: "This size is just right, and it can still be worn in two years."
For older sons, they bought the largest size: "What does it matter if the clothes are a little bigger? Aren't you growing taller? It's so cold in winter, and you have 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 larger, so that they can have more fabric. The eldest child wears it first, and then the second child. If it's too big, it can be altered to a smaller size, but if it's too small, it can't be altered to a larger size.
When Jiang Xi came back from the Internet cafe and went to the store, he saw Jiang Bai in the store, completely overwhelmed by the endless stream of customers. He
was busy and flustered. He was busy with the accounts, ironing clothes, and always paying attention to make sure that no one took away a piece of clothes. His eyes and hands never stopped.
On the contrary, Jiang Yeye had been squeezed to the back. He sat on his bed through the curtain, looking at the crowded people in the store, 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 under the bed and by the back door by Jiang Bai. Even the curtain used as a partition was pushed back and extended to the bed. Grandpa Jiang was sitting on the curtain at the moment.
It was Jiang Bai who asked Grandpa Jiang to sit on the curtain like this, so that the curtain could block the things behind, and Grandpa could also help to watch things.
There were so many people that Jiang Bai didn't even have time to drink water for the whole morning. He could have found time to iron his clothes, but later he didn't even have time to iron his clothes. He was always collecting money, making change, helping people take clothes, and packing them. He also had to keep an eye on the customers to make sure they didn't pack one more piece when there were so many people.
It was just as Jiang's mother said, Jiang Bai's eyes were very lively.
Seeing Jiang Xiao coming back, Jiang Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief and called her, "Xing Xiao, you come to collect money and make change!"
Fortunately, Jiang Xiao had prepared enough money before, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to make change.
Jiang Bai has been collecting money this morning. Now the drawer seems to be filled with paper instead of money. There is too much money. He has gone from being shocked at first to being numb now.
He thinks he can make at least 200 yuan today!
One day! 200 yuan!
Many people don't even make 200 yuan a month!
Jiang Xi saw Jiang Bai busy all the time, and it was time for lunch, so he called him: "Go to the cafeteria to eat something, and get a meal for Grandpa as well."
Jiang Bai was worried about his sister, thinking that there were too many people, and she would be as busy as Grandpa, so he said: "You go get the meal, get me and Grandpa together!" He added: "Come and take my place, I'll go out for a while."
Jiang Bai quickly went to the toilet, washed his hands under the tap at the back door, and came back quickly to let Jiang Xi go get the meal.
Jiang Xi came back early, and there were not many people in the cafeteria. He got three meals first, and then took the kettle to get some boiled water. After delivering his own boiled water to the dormitory, he went downstairs again.
When He Xiaofang saw Jiang Xi bringing up hot water, she also hurried down with her own kettle: "Wait for me, I'll go too!"
Jiang Xi 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, but she still followed him and said goodbye to Jiang Xi at the cafeteria door. She watched Jiang Xi carrying a kettle of water and three large rice bowls in his hands, and hurried to get food. Then she caught up with him, took the kettle of hot water from Jiang Xi's hand, and said, "You have too many things in your hands, let me take it to you."
Jiang Xi looked at her and did not refuse. He Xiaofang followed Jiang Xi to the store rented by Jiang Xi.
It might be time for lunch, many people went home to cook or eat, and there were finally fewer people in the store.
Jiang Bai also breathed a sigh of relief and gulped down a glass of water.
He had been talking about selling things all morning. He had said everything he had ever said in his life today. His throat was smoking.
He didn't know why these aunties liked to ask about Jiangnan Garment Factory.
He didn't 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 preferred his coat. He was so scared that he quickly zipped up his coat 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 to stop the aunties from wanting his coat.
Today, he sold at least 20 coats of his coat alone.
There were fewer people in the store, so Jiang Bai let them shop around while he sat on Grandpa Jiang's bed to drink water and rest.
It was He Xiaofang's first time to come to Jiang Xi's store. She looked up curiously and said, "Xi Xi, 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 at the gate of the school. The gossip about Jiangnan Garment Factory had reached the ears of the people in No. 1 Middle School, but He Xiaofang only talked to Jiang Xi, and no one else took her out to play. Xu Xiuli was also not one to gossip with her, so she had never heard of the gossip until now.
At this time, the loudspeaker had been shouting for a whole morning, and the battery was running out of power. Grandpa Jiang turned off the loudspeaker and took the recorder to charge.
Jiang Xi introduced them to He Xiaofang: "This is my grandpa, this is my second brother, you have met him."
He Xiaofang was very polite: "Hello, Grandpa Jiang, hello, second brother Xixi."
She was a little restrained, put down the hot water kettle and was about to go back, but Jiang Xi called her: "Why don't you stay and eat together?"
She ordered three dishes, two portions of braised pork, one portion of fried lotus root slices, and one portion of Chinese cabbage.
How could He Xiaofang have the nerve to stay when they were having a meal? Isn't this deliberately eating someone else's food? In their rural area, this would be talked about by others. She waved her hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "No, no, I have to do the test paper in the dormitory!"
Before the school holiday every Friday, the teachers would give them test papers to do on the weekend, one paper for each subject, and seven papers for seven subjects.
He Xiaofang does her homework slowly. If she doesn't put more thought and time into it, she won't be able to finish it.
Jiang Xi not only has to do the test papers in the afternoon, but also the homework for the competition class. This is why she doesn't have time to be with He Xiaofang. High school teachers are always busy taking up all the students' spare time. She was not a talented player in her previous life, and she is still not a talented player in this life. It's just that her comprehension may have improved with her experience, but she still has to spend a lot of time studying and working hard.
Jiang Bai also has to study in the afternoon. Jiang Xi wants to close the store or let Grandpa Jiang sell it, but Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Bai both oppose it.
"We finally have a weekend when we can make some money, but you still want to close the shop?" Grandpa Jiang and Jiang Bai both thought that Jiang Liu had become stupid because of studying too much.
Jiang Bai could imagine that the business on this street was usually not very good.
And today, although he was tired, he was very happy.
He always wanted to make money and didn't want to study in school, but he had to study.
Today, his idea of making money was finally fulfilled. He made a lot of money and the business was so good!
Jiang Liu'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 had to stroll around this street.
Because this street is mainly for students, the things sold are not expensive. For example, the egg cake shop next door, the owner's egg cake is fragrant and soft. When it comes out of the pan, it is so fragrant that half of the street can smell it. Who wouldn't buy two pounds to taste it? The
egg cake owner's wife was very happy these two days. The egg cakes in the shop were sold out as soon as they came out of the oven. The owner, who was originally very idle, became busy all weekend, and the owner's wife was also busy.
Busy weighing the egg cakes and collecting money!
It was not until after five in the evening that Jiang Xi came to the store with a rice bowl and said that the store was going to close. Jiang Bai was reluctant to leave and wanted to keep it open until seven o'clock when the access control of No. 1 Middle School was closed.
Jiang Xi ate his meal without saying a word: "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 batch of guests away, he closed the door and sat on Grandpa Jiang's bed to count the money.
He was filled with an indescribable joy, and his eyes were shining, even though the money was not his.
He decided that he would make money after the college entrance examination!
He didn't want to work, he also wanted to do business and sell things.
He got great happiness from selling things today! In
this day alone, he sold more than 300 pieces of clothing, which means he earned more than 300 yuan!
300 yuan a day!
If he had a tail, you would definitely see a big furry tail behind him, swinging left and right in leisure and happiness.
He counted back and forth, and Grandpa Jiang sat beside him and watched him count happily. The grandfather and grandson were both in great joy and disbelief.
Although Grandpa Jiang saw the popularity of the store last week, he didn't know how much money he made.
Before, he made 20 or 30 yuan a day, which he thought was a lot, but now, 300 yuan! A day!
Oh my God!
Sitting aside and eating, Jiang Qi smiled and watched the grandfather and grandson count money happily, and silently endured the words that the actual profit would increase tenfold.
The black-hearted capitalist Jiang Xi took out a ten-yuan bill and stuffed it into Jiang Bai's hand: "Your salary for today."
Jiang Bai was shocked by Jiang Xi's sudden generosity and his eyes widened in disbelief: "Ten yuan? For me?"
His eyes were originally round, and after widening like this, they looked like the sparkle of a small animal, which made Jiang Xi want to laugh.
He took the ten yuan and turned it over and over to admire it. As if he was afraid that Jiang Xi would regret it, he quickly put the money into his pants pocket and pressed it with his hand.
