Chapter 264: Selling toys, creams and other small commodities

When bringing back small gifts from Haishi, Huang Xinran chose things that were small, inexpensive, and new.

For example, I bought Dream Paris perfume for Zhang Wenbi and Liu Zhaodi, Friendship, Ya Cream and Chunlei Face Cream for the breakfast shop owners, and Qingfei for Aunt He...and of course I didn't forget the small gifts for the two children - a flashlight camera bear and a matchbox car toy.

Not to mention the kids in the 1980s, even in the new century, car toys are boys’ favorite!

Maomao was no exception, he was holding onto his toy car and laughing from ear to ear, which was quite different from his usual stern face and his reticence.

Yaya kept fiddling with her little bear. When the spring was wound, the little bear moved around with a clicking sound, which seemed to immediately attract everyone's attention.

This thing not only looks beautiful, but it can also move?

For a moment, not only the children, but also the adults gathered around to see the novelty.

Huang Xinran took the opportunity to take out a jumping iron frog and a bamboo dragonfly and gave them to the two children.

These little gadgets were small commodities she bought from the sea market and planned to sell in another store.

These small commodities take up little space, have low costs, and are indeed the most cost-effective when transported over long distances with limited volume.

The small commodities she brought back included not only these small toys, but also perfumes, facial creams, gauze towels, hats, etc. for Zhang Wenbi and others. These were all samples that she planned to sell in the shop.

It’s great that both kids like it, so there’s no need to worry about selling it in the future.

Huang Xinran smiled cheerfully and responded to the greetings from neighbors.

Zhang Wenbi and Liu Zhaodi were very happy, holding the perfume and laughing. Especially Liu Zhaodi, she wanted to show everyone that this was a gift from her daughter-in-law.

"Mom, please stop talking. Can't you see that everyone is laughing at you for showing off..."

"I just want to show off! This is a good thing my daughter bought for me from Haishi. They want it but can't have it. Why don't I tell you that I have it?"

Liu Zhaodi was in high spirits, spraying herself with perfume. She looked left and right in front of the mirror, her eyebrows clearly beaming with joy.

Seeing that she was so happy, Huang Xinran brought up his own idea.

"Mom, what do you think...if I bring all these toys and perfumes back from Haishi and sell them, will anyone buy them?"

"Um?"

Liu Zhaodi paused while applying lipstick in front of the mirror. She slowly turned around and asked, "Did you bring all these goods back?"

Huang Xinran: “…”

Looking at the mother's expression, will she answer yes or no?

"Is it true? I knew my daughter-in-law is good at business. This is great!"

Liu Zhaodi slapped her thigh in excitement: "Great! Now there's a lot of money coming into the account... Hey, Ranran, if this shop is successful, you have to count me in!"

"Mom, do you want to stay on the plantation, or do you want to run the shop as a boss?"

"It's not the boss's wife, it's the boss's mother!"

Liu Zhaodi rolled her eyes at her and started to show off again, "Don't worry! The cafeteria has been stabilized. At present, not only do people from our plantation come here to eat, but even workers from the three or five small factories nearby come here to eat. I am a person who makes a lot of money every day now!

There's a lot of work to do. Of course I can't do it all myself.

So, now when I go to the canteen, I mostly just monitor the quality in the back to see if there are any mistakes.

In other words, I only need to go there once every morning and evening. The rest of the time is plenty, isn't it just the right time to sell some good stuff?"

“…”

I have to say, my mother’s brain works very quickly.

Huang Xinran naturally would not refuse: "Let me make it clear first, you can patronize the store. But there is one thing, you can't steal. Even if you want to take something from the store, you must record it in the account. I can reimburse you later, you can't break the rules!

Do you agree?

What's wrong with that?

"Okay, I'll do whatever my Ranran says. Is that okay?"

Huang Xinran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Selling small toys and the like is naturally best done near schools.

But Huang Xinran was worried that if the store was too close to the school, it would be affected, so she simply rented another store on the corner a few stores away from the breakfast store.

Because the shop is located on a corner, half of it faces the school and the other half faces the main road.

When purchasing new containers, she changed the previous method of using wooden cabinets and glass and chose to use open shelves to display the wide variety of goods on them.

Because the goods are all ready-made, it only takes three days from renting the shop to selling the goods.

When school starts on Monday, it will be time to test the appeal of these small commodities.

As the sound of firecrackers rang out, the small commodity store opened.

In fact, there are also many products sold by Huang Xinran in department stores.

However, her store mainly sells children's toys, and secondly sells various women's accessories, bags, facial creams, lipsticks and other products.

In addition, the style was a good thing that had just been produced, and it immediately attracted the attention of countless people.

On the opening day, the place was so crowded and busy that everyone was dizzy.

Huang Xinran urgently transferred two people from the breakfast shop to help, and they were both busy as hell.

Especially during the school hours, they could not even have water to drink, let alone eat. Liu Zhaodi's voice became hoarse from shouting, and Huang Xinran's throat was so dry that it seemed to be smoking. After drinking a bottle of water and circulating his spiritual power for a week, he finally felt a little relieved.

"Everyone, hurry up and take a rest now while there are fewer people here."

While letting everyone drink water, Huang Xinran gave everyone a big red cherry.

These cherries were naturally brought from her hometown, and everyone felt full of energy after eating them.

Although everyone was very happy, when Huang Xinran checked the accounts in the evening, he found that there were a lot fewer items on the shelves.

"One bottle of face cream is missing, two bottles of perfume, and children's toys... I won't talk about that, but two bags are also missing."

These bags are all genuine and good stuff, and Huang Xinran specially bought them directly from the factory. Two of them disappeared on the opening day. In total, only two bags were sold today. This means that not only did he not make any money, he even lost money.

"My goodness, who did this? If I catch her, I will break her hands!" Liu Zhaodi was so angry that she cursed.

Huang Xinran was prepared, but she didn't expect the loss to be so huge.

"Mom, please don't worry about scolding him. Since he dared to eat so ugly on the opening day, it shows that he is very brave. I think he will come again in two days. You have to pay more attention. If he does it next time, we will let him steal and win!"

"Okay, leave it to me!"

Liu Zhaodi patted her chest and made the promise.
