There were about 5,000 kilograms of scraps in the clothing factory's waste warehouse, packed in bags and piled up into a small hill.
Zhao Zhenzhu asked He Bo to call his brothers over.
There is strength in numbers.
It took Zhao Zhenzhu and her team more than two hours to pick out the usable scraps of cloth and pack them up.
After weighing, the total weight was three thousand one hundred kilograms.
More than three thousand kilograms of rags were packed into more than thirty bags and lined up in front of the warehouse, which looked quite spectacular.
Zhao Zhenzhu took Yu Hongying's approval slip to the Finance Department and paid thirty-one yuan.
On the way back to the warehouse, Zhao Zhenzhu was still a little dizzy. So many scraps of cloth, but only thirty-one yuan? How could it be like a dream?
"Zhenzhu, let me send you a car! Where should these rags be shipped to? Taohua Town?" Yu Hongying asked.
Yu Hongying knew that He Bo was from Taohua Town.
"Yes, yes, yes. Sister Yu, thank you so much. How much is the shipping fee? I will go to the Finance Department to pay now." Zhao Zhenzhu was overjoyed.
Just half a minute ago, Zhao Zhenzhu was still worrying about how to get so many scraps of cloth home!
There are so many people around, Zhao Zhenzhu can't just throw the rags into the space!
"Nonsense! Are you insulting me? Why do you want shipping fee?" Yu Hongying waved her hand and said, "You are a long-term customer of our garment factory now. I still have the right to give you free goods."
Zhao Zhenzhu was so surprised that she didn't know what to say.
The money she earned from this truckload of rags isn't as much as the shipping fee, right?
"It's okay, this is normal operation." Yu Hongying gently nudged Zhao Zhenzhu's arm with her elbow and whispered, "Remember to ask Xiaobo to bring the fabric to me in two days. How much? I'll give it to you now."
"Sister, are you slandering me?" Zhao Zhenzhu glanced at Yu Hongying and said, "What is our relationship? You are telling me this. Let's do it the day after tomorrow! We will definitely get it done the day after tomorrow."
Yu Hongying was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling.
What Zhao Zhenzhu meant by this was that she wanted to give the cloth to Yu Hongying.
Although Yu Hongying would not really not give the money, this showed that Zhao Zhenzhu did not treat her as an outsider.
When loading the rags onto the truck, He Bo and a few of his brothers were working very hard.
In He Bo's eyes, these thirty or so bags of rags are not rags, but money!
He Bo believed that the hair bands made by Zhao Zhenzhu would definitely sell well. He would definitely make a lot of money by following Zhao Zhenzhu.
He Bo asked his younger brother Liangzi to follow the car and transport the rags back to Taohua Town. He, Zhao Zhenzhu, and another younger brother Erniu went to the cotton mill to set up a stall to sell hair bands.
There are several factories in Qingshan County, and the one with the largest number of female workers is the cotton spinning mill.
There were more than 3,000 workers in the cotton mill, and more than three-quarters of them were women.
After the stall was set up, it was just the time for the cotton mill to get off work at noon. Zhao Zhenzhu was dressed fashionably today, and when she stood next to the stall, she instantly became a beautiful "scenery" in the eyes of others.
"People are coming, shout!" Zhao Zhenzhu saw He Bo and Erniu both standing there in a daze, and couldn't help but urge them.
"What are you shouting?" He Bo didn't understand.
"Watch me and learn to shout later." Zhao Zhenzhu had no choice but to demonstrate.
"Take a look, take a look, the most popular hair band in Guangzhou, cheap and beautiful." Zhao Zhenzhu shouted.
Several female workers heard Zhao Zhenzhu's cry and hurried over.
"Come and take a look! There are not many goods left. They will be gone once they are sold out." He Bo also shouted.
Erniu was not good at speaking. He grumbled for a while before finally saying four words: "Good-looking and cheap."
A group of female workers in their twenties came over, gathered in front of the stall, and asked in a chattering voice, "Are you selling goods from Guangzhou?"
"What is this for?"
"How do you sell it?"
······
Zhao Zhenzhu quickly picked up a floral hairband and tied it on top of her braid, showing it to everyone while saying, "You can use a hairband to tie your braid or a ponytail, it depends on what you like."
In order to let everyone see more clearly, Zhao Zhenzhu also demonstrated on the spot by removing the braids and tying them into a high ponytail.
"Oh, it looks really good when tied like this." A round-faced female worker exclaimed.
"How much is one?" asked another female worker.
"Thirty-five cents each." He Bo said quickly.
"35 cents is so expensive? It's just a circle of cloth, it shouldn't take much cloth, right?" a square-faced girl questioned.
"Beauty, although the fabric used for the hair band is not much, the travel expenses are expensive! Guangshi is thousands of kilometers away from our Qingshan County! Besides, these hair bands have just become popular in Guangshi, and our Qingshan County department store doesn't even sell them yet. You are the only one." Zhao Zhenzhu said with a smile.
The square-faced girl felt dizzy after being called a beautiful lady by Zhao Zhenzhu. She suddenly felt that a hair band that cost 3.5 yuan was actually not that bad.
"I heard that it takes several buses to get from Guang City to Qingshan County. Xiaoyun, it's not easy for them to import goods, so don't find fault with it." The round-faced girl was moved by the words "unique in Qingshan County".
"I'm not finding fault! I'm just saying. I want to buy it." Miss Xiaoyun blushed.
"I want one too." The round-faced girl hurriedly took out the money.
"I want one too."
······
Young girls and wives all love beauty. When they saw that Zhao Zhenzhu looked more beautiful after putting on a hair band, they couldn't help but rush to take out money to buy her one.
"How about this, today is our first time selling goods in front of the cotton mill, and we are destined to meet each other, so we will have a promotion today. Buy one for 35 cents, two for 65 cents, and three for 90 cents." Zhao Zhenzhu said hurriedly when she saw that everyone's emotions were aroused.
"Then I want three. Three for 90 cents, which is 15 cents cheaper!" said the round-faced girl excitedly.
In this day and age, everyone takes pride in saving money.
"Xiao Ping, are you going to use up all the three hair bands you bought? Be careful or your mother will scold you when you get home." Xiao Yun said, holding a hair band in her hand.
"What's there to be afraid of? I'm not going to use them all myself. I'll bring one for my sister and one for my sister-in-law. They're sure to like them." Xiaoping said nonchalantly.
"Then... then I want three too." Miss Xiaoyun also changed her mind and quickly picked up the other two hair bands she liked.
He Bo quickly collected the money and made change.
Erniu stared with eyes wide open, afraid that someone would take advantage of the situation and take the hairband without paying.
"If three of us buy together, can we have three for 90 cents?" a female worker with a long face asked Zhao Zhenzhu.
After getting a positive answer, the three girls quickly started picking.
When the people behind heard that they could “group order” in this way, they quickly ran back to the factory and called their familiar sisters to come and buy together.
Many female workers buy three hair bands directly.
The salary of textile workers is not low, at least more than 30 yuan a month! Sometimes they work overtime, and the overtime pay can be more than 10 yuan a month.
The female workers are reluctant to buy a new piece of clothing that costs more than ten or twenty yuan, but they are willing to spend ninety cents to buy a few hairbands to dress themselves up.
