Because they had something on their minds, Chen Bingqi and Chen Bingyuan hurriedly left with the samples after dinner.
Chen Meijun didn't come back until about four in the afternoon.
I was so excited when I came back.
"Jinyan, your clothes are so popular that my two colleagues took them out for a round and they were all sold out. Many people have also made reservations. Can you get me some more?"
Su Jinyan was using bricks to build a barbecue rack. His hands were covered in dirt. He looked up and smiled, "Well, OK, but the goods should be ready the day after tomorrow."
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"Well, I ate it. What are you doing?"
"We'll have hot pot and barbecue tonight. Oh, and I'll ask you about the tailor and fabric business."
Chen Meijun nodded. "I used to know an old tailor. His family's craft was passed down from generation to generation. They had a tailor shop. A few years ago, the old tailor passed away, and his eldest son took over the shop. His daughter had been working for her brother, but maybe they didn't get along, so she quit last year and has been doing odd jobs at home to make a living. I asked her, and she was willing to come and try."
"There is another woman, my former colleague's mother, who has good craftsmanship. Neighbors usually ask her to make clothes. There are many children at home and life is tight. She said she would come and try first, and she would do it if the money was right."
Su Jinyan nodded happily, "Okay, let's go and look at the sewing machine and try to buy it today."
Chen Meijun asked in surprise: "You have a sewing ticket."
"Yeah, I'm ready. Wait a minute, I'll change my clothes."
Su Jinyan changed her clothes and the two of them headed straight for the nearest department store.
Buying too many at one time would easily attract attention, so Su Jinyan only bought two and spent two extra dollars, and the department store helped with the delivery.
After leaving their address, the two returned home.
Before entering the house, Su Jinyan asked Chen Meijun to go home first, "Meijun, you go back first, I'll go ask about the goods, if there are any, bring some back first."
Chen Meijun paused, "Okay, be careful, it's too much to mention gender at one time."
When it came to picking up the goods, Chen Meijun didn't ask any more questions, which was also within Su Jinyan's expectations.
If she said she was going out for a walk, Chen Meijun would worry that she would follow her.
Su Jinyan didn't walk very far. After she came out of the alley and walked straight into the dead end, she entered the dead end and went straight into the space.
She first found a stroller for her daughter Zhao Hua, and then found ten dresses of various patterns, pure cotton short-sleeved shirts in black, red, white, blue, yellow and green, five white shirts with puff sleeves, and barbecue ingredients, garlic chili sauce, beef hot pot base, mushroom hot pot base, dipping sauce, and three cans of sesame sauce.
It took him a full hour to unpack, re-can and re-bag the items. Then he found five pounds of mutton, two large ribs, and some large iron skewers. He put everything on a small cart and moved out of the space.
As it was evening and the sun was about to set, the temperature was just comfortable. Su Jinyan walked out of the alley, and many people sitting at the entrance of the alley chatting saw Su Jinyan's car.
She often comes in and out. Although no one knows her, everyone knows which family she is from.
"Little comrade, what is this little car of yours for?"
"There are so many things here, are they transporting goods?"
"Such an exquisite cargo cart? It's ruined."
"It's so convenient to have this car. You see, even with such a big belly, you can still buy things. It won't delay anything. My daughter-in-law has never dared to carry anything since she got pregnant."
Before Su Jinyan could say anything, the old ladies had already said a lot.
She smiled and nodded to them, and said obediently: "Hello, aunties, this little cart is very useful. It is convenient for me to go out to buy some things now, and I can push the child when I go out in the future. Otherwise, if I take the child out, I either have to hold him in my arms or carry him on my back, which is very tiring."
She didn't take a fancy one, just a simple one that was foldable and had a sunshade on it.
A few women were curious and stood up to grab it.
Su Jinyan was extremely grateful at this moment. Just in case someone saw it, he had been diligent and stuffed all the things into a large travel bag. He also carried a small backpack on his back to hold some seasonings.
"Hey, this is really good. When you put your child inside and cover him with this cloth, he won't get exposed to the sun in the summer and will be protected from the wind in the winter. It's really good. Where did you buy this, little comrade?"
Su Jinyan smiled and said, "Auntie, I have a classmate who lives in Shanghai, so I asked her to mail it to me."
When the woman heard that there was no such thing for sale in Beijing, she couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Then her eyes lit up and she looked at Su Jinyan ingratiatingly, "Girl, can you ask your classmates to mail two to Auntie as well?"
Su Jinyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded hesitantly, "I'll call her tomorrow to ask, if she can buy it, I'll tell you, my house is the third one in the alley ahead."
"Hey, I know, Zhao's daughter-in-law is a Peking University student. There are only two Peking University students near here, and everyone knows them."
Su Jinyan smiled a little embarrassedly. After all, she didn't know these neighbors for more than half a year. "Well, then come to my house at this time tomorrow night and ask me."
At this time, another thin woman next to him hesitated for a moment and asked, "Girl, I wonder how you sell this car?"
Su Jinyan hesitated for a second and smiled, "My classmate said I bought it at the Friendship Store for 40 yuan. She didn't even ask me for the shipping fee or foreign exchange coupons."
Several women gasped.
“It’s too expensive!”
It is higher than the monthly salary of an ordinary worker.
This price is indeed expensive in this era, but the things are good, there are not many in the space, and she doesn't want to sell them at a low price.
She smiled and said, "Well, it's a bit expensive, but every family has several children now. Forty yuan may seem like a lot, but it won't rot after one child uses it and become unusable."
After thinking about it, they decided that this thing was indeed useful and not harmful.
"Girl, ask your classmate to buy two for me. If she can, ask her to buy two. I don't have foreign exchange coupons, so I can use money or other coupons to replace them."
"Just call me Aunt Lu."
"Girl, my last name is Liu. We live in the same alley, the last household. Please ask Aunt Liu as well."
Su Jinyan smiled and nodded, "Okay, I can help ask, but I can't guarantee that my classmates can buy it. There are not many of these things, and foreign exchange coupons are not easy to get. Aunties, just don't be disappointed when the time comes."
