After packing her things and leaving home, Jiang Yue first went to the gatehouse to tell Political Commissar Yu that she would go to the fields again when she returned in the afternoon. She also left a message for Lu Jingnian, telling him that she and Yao Hua had gone to the city to sell clothes and that if they returned late, they should stay at the compound.
Perfect timing, she'll ask today when night school registration starts.
She had already discussed it with Lu Jingnian last night. After she started night school, she would live in the compound, do some small business during the day, study at night, and come back during holidays.
Although Lu Jingnian felt a little wronged, he still agreed.
Back in the city, Jiang Yue took Yao Hua to the vicinity of the department store.
During the day, many people come to the department store to buy things, making it a suitable place to set up a stall. When Jiang Yue brought Yao Hua there, there were already several people setting up stalls on the road next to the department store.
They mainly sell food.
"Yueyue, how much should we sell these clothes for?"
Yao Hua glanced at the food vendors not far away and felt a little nervous, worried that her clothes wouldn't sell.
"Watch me."
Jiang Yue opened her bag, took out the clothes, and started shouting, "Everyone come and see! The most popular clothing styles in the South are half price today..."
Jiang Yue used to work in sales, so this really wasn't a problem for her.
The most popular clothing styles may not be very attractive, but half price is definitely tempting.
"Yueyue, if it's half price, won't we lose money?"
Yao Hua tugged at Jiang Yue's sleeve and asked.
"Don't worry, we set the price ourselves. Only we know whether it's half price or the original price. We won't lose money."
Jiang Yue patted Yao Hua's hand reassuringly, then called out.
Upon hearing that the clothes were half price and were for young girls, several girls of similar age quickly stood in front of Jiang Yue and Yao Hua.
"This dress is really stylish. How much is it?"
Someone held the dress that Jiang Yue had just been holding up with obvious delight and asked a question.
She happened to have a classmate reunion today, and she came out to buy clothes, but she couldn't find anything suitable after shopping for a long time. The dress in her hand was much nicer than those in the department store, and she fell in love with it at first sight.
"Young lady, you have such good taste! This dress is the only one my sister and I brought back from the south."
Jiang Yue smiled and said warmly to the other party, "This dress is the perfect size for you, it's practically tailor-made for you. Since it suits you so well, I'll give you a discount, you only need to pay ten yuan."
Ten yuan?
Yao Hua, who was standing to the side, was stunned.
The fabric for this dress only cost three yuan, and there was still a lot of fabric left over. She thought that Yueyue would only ask for four yuan, but she didn't expect her to ask for ten yuan right away.
Yao Hua thought the other party would think it was too expensive and not buy it, but to her surprise, the other party took out ten yuan and handed it to Jiang Yue.
"I'll take this dress."
"You'll definitely look good in this dress. We'll be setting up a stall here often from now on. If you have any problems with how you wear it, you can come to us."
We will also be launching many new styles, so ladies are welcome to come and check them out often.
Jiang Yue took the money, wrapped up the clothes, and handed them to the other party.
Soon, two more items were bought.
There were more than a dozen pieces of clothing in total. Yao Hua thought it would take several days to sell them, but they were all sold out in half a day.
Looking at the money in the bag, Yao Hua could hardly believe it. "Yueyue, is this real? Did we really make so much money?"
They bought the fabric for a dozen yuan, but unexpectedly sold it for over a hundred yuan.
"Of course it's true. Our clothes have novel styles, beautiful color combinations, and good quality. People who like them won't think they're expensive."
Jiang Yue put away her bag, and together with Yao Hua, they bought some more fabric, food, and vegetable seeds at the department store before heading towards the courtyard.
"It's early today, so I'll go home for a bit. I can take a bus home later."
Lu Jingnian needs to drink the medicinal food for a while longer. Although she taught Lu Jingnian how to make it last night, Jiang Yue still wanted to make it herself.
On the way, Jiang Yue said to Yao Hua, "Hua Hua, you can just make the clothes according to the design from last time. But you don't need to rush. Just finish them within five days."
A dozen or so pieces of clothing can be finished within five days, which is plenty of time, so Yao Hua doesn't have to stay up late at night.
"I understand, Yueyue."
Yao Hua scratched her head sheepishly.
Jiang Yue brought Yao Hua back to the Jiang family home, and upon entering, she saw Lu Jingnian.
What are you doing here?
Wasn't he supposed to be at a meeting? How did he end up at the Jiang family's house? This is so unexpected.
“I came to the regimental headquarters for a meeting and received a call from Lao Yu saying that you and Yao Hua came to the city to sell clothes. After the meeting, I wanted to come and find you and take you home, but I didn’t know where to look for you, so I came to your house to wait for you.”
Lu Jingnian explained.
Actually, he didn't tell Jiang Yue that he went to the department store and saw her enthusiastically introducing clothes to people, but he didn't go over to disturb her.
He didn't know how to sell things, and Jiang Yue was surrounded by women, so he didn't really like that kind of environment.
"We made a lot of money selling clothes at the department store."
Jiang Yue shook the bag in her hand, "Lu Jingnian, I'll soon have money to buy you a better motorcycle."
Lu Jingnian smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
Whether Jiang Yue actually bought him a motorcycle or not, Lu Jingnian didn't care. As long as she was thinking about it, Lu Jingnian was happy to start school.
"Lu Jingnian, you sit with Dad for a while. Yao Hua and I will go and tidy up the fabric. We'll go back in a bit."
Jiang Yue pulled Yao Hua to her room, and the two of them took out the money from the bag and counted it.
After deducting the money spent on the fabric, I have 82 yuan left.
Jiang Yue counted out forty-one yuan and handed it to Yao Hua.
"Yueyue, I don't want so much."
Yao Hua looked at the money in Jiang Yue's hand and quickly waved her hand and shook her head, "You designed the clothes and you sold them. I just made some clothes, it doesn't cost this much money."
“We agreed that we would split the profits 50/50. You work very hard making clothes, so this half is rightfully yours. Take it!”
Jiang Yue stuffed the money into Yao Hua's hand, "Hua Hua, I will help you make lots and lots of money in the future."
What is forty-odd yuan? Jiang Yue's goal is to start a company, go public... and make lots and lots of money. When Lu Jingnian retires from the army, she will use the money she earns to travel with Lu Jingnian.
"Yueyue, thank you."
Yao Hua looked at the money in her hand, her eyes reddening.
Ever since Yueyue stopped liking Pei Hengzhi, she has been treating her better and better, and she likes the current Yueyue.
After distributing the money, Jiang Yue went downstairs and told her father about her decision to attend night school before leaving with Lu Jingnian.
Lu Jingnian came to the regimental headquarters for a meeting and drove a military vehicle. The two of them came out of the Jiang family's house and had just walked to the car when they saw Zhao Lanxi walking over with a bag.
