"If it weren't for your being an old customer, you would never get this price." Boss Zhang grimaced in pain as he packed the items.
But when Lin Qingqing took out a piece of pork pickled by her mother-in-law and gave it to Boss Zhang, he smiled until his eyes became slits.
Lin Qingqing is just like that. She is ruthless in business, but very generous in doing favors for others.
Although Boss Zhang doesn't make much money, this piece of meat can buy him over. In the future, when he has something good, he will definitely give it to Lin Qingqing first.
This time, Lin Qingqing did not put the goods in Hou Guiying's tailor shop. She felt that since they had switched to selling clothes, going to the tailor shop again would only make things difficult for herself.
She had made preparations for the Chinese New Year and brought back the iron bed so she could set up her stall in a busy place.
She had also decided on a location for her stall, which was just opposite the department store.
The department store is located in the center of the county town, with a very large flow of people, and some women like to go here the most.
She also set a price. Last year, the department store sold a similar sweater for 45 yuan, but she sold it for 40 yuan, which was five yuan cheaper.
The same goes for several other styles. As long as they are similar to the ones sold in the department store last year, she will sell them at a lower price.
If she wants to attract customers and gain their approval, she has to show some sincerity. After a long time, when she is recognized by customers, she can slowly raise the price. This is called "the wool comes from the sheep".
In 1981, spring began on the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month before the New Year. After the New Year, the smell of spring began to form.
In the evening, Lin Qingqing asked Zhou Zhuo to make a dozen clothes hangers with scrap iron wire. With the help of Zhou Zhuo, she pushed the iron bed and goods to the door of the department store early in the morning.
Opposite the department store was a seed company. Lin Qingqing asked Zhou Zhuo to hammer two nails into the wall of the seed company, tie a nylon rope between the nails, and then hang the clothes on it.
After helping his wife to run the stall, Zhou Zhuo went back to help his mother run the stall. This time they also bought some thin fabrics, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law each took charge of one stall.
Xue Guixiang had gone through severe tests years ago and can now barely stand on her own.
Lin Qingqing is very confident in her mother-in-law. She thinks her mother-in-law is not stupid and can learn anything once taught. She just has a bad temper sometimes.
After helping his wife and mother set up the stall, Zhou Zhuo went home. His wife said that he didn't need anyone's help today, and he just needed to be responsible for cooking at home and bringing them lunch at noon.
It was exactly eight o'clock when Lin Qingqing opened her stall and the department store had just opened for business.
Several salespeople rode bicycles past her stall, looking at her as if she were an alien, and a few of them were clearly full of contempt.
These days, no one looks down on self-employed individuals. They think that working in a department store is clean and decent, with a stable income and an iron rice bowl, and they live a life of luxury.
But they would never have thought that the profit Lin Qingqing made from selling two pieces of clothing was higher than their monthly salary.
As soon as I hung up the clothes, people stopped to buy them. These days, apart from buying clothes in department stores, I have never seen stalls set up on the street.
The woman was just about to go shopping at the department store, and before she even reached the building opposite, she was attracted by Lin Qingqing's clothes.
The thin sweater and bright red woolen jacket attracted her so much that she couldn't move.
No matter what era, it cannot stop people from loving and pursuing beauty.
Seeing that there was a business opportunity, Lin Qingqing quickly greeted her enthusiastically: "Sister, I'm shopping! The clothes I have are all the most popular styles this year. Look at how fashionable this tweed coat is. Can I get one for you to try?"
