Chapter 21: Xishi the fishmonger wants to buy cloth
With Fang Zhiwei, the battle was over.
When Qin Qing arrived at the textile factory, it was just dawn and the two of them put away the backpacks.
Soon the workers started to work, and Qin Qing saw Deng Shufen first, followed by a group of women.
"It's her, it's her! The fish seller Xishi! Her fish is really fresh!"
"I've also heard that Sister He's picky grandson is really hard to please. He ate more than half of it yesterday and still felt it wasn't enough."
"Sister Deng, is the group buy you mentioned still available today?"
Qin Qing didn't expect that Deng Shufen actually brought quite a few people.
Everyone surrounded Qin Qing, talking to each other.
"Boss, can you group-order this fish?" Deng Shufen asked.
"Of course! It's the same rules as yesterday. One piece is 1.2 yuan per pound, two pieces are 1.1 yuan, three pieces are 1 yuan, and four or more pieces are all 90 cents!"
"Okay, okay, let's buy it, the four of us together."
"I want this too! I want this too!"
Seeing everyone rushing to buy fish, Fang Zhiwei stared at Qin Qing with wide eyes.
Is this how you do business?
Didn’t she say the market price is 90 cents?
Qin Qing patted Fang Zhiwei, "Weigh the fish!"
Fang Zhiwei caught the line and started weighing the fish.
This time the two of them brought a lot of fish, weighing about 100 kilograms.
Qin Qing was so busy that it was almost noon before she sold all the fish.
Although I knew from Tang Min yesterday that Qin Qing was good at doing business, I didn't know until I saw it with my own eyes.
Fang Zhiwei couldn't help but sigh that Qin Qing was born to be a businessman!
"Boss, are you sold out?"
Deng Shufen was passing by the fish stall after get off work. Seeing that the fish in the backpack were empty, she asked with a smile.
"Thanks to you, they're all sold out!"
Qin Qing didn't expect that this auntie kept her word and actually brought her a lot of customers.
"Your fish is fresh and tender, so of course it sells well. Boss, this... is your man? He's so strong! So powerful! He's a real man!"
Deng Shufen looked at Fang Zhiwei beside Qin Qing with gossipy eyes.
Although his appearance cannot be seen clearly due to his beard, he has a very strong body.
"Aunt, he..."
Qin Qing was about to explain when Fang Zhiwei picked up a fish and handed it to Deng Shufen.
"Aunt, thank you for bringing business to my Qin Qing."
Even if Deng Shufen didn't misunderstand what he said, she would have misunderstood it.
When Deng Shufen saw the fish Fang Zhiwei handed her, her eyes lit up, but she was too embarrassed to accept it.
"What are you thanking me for? You guys are definitely good at business. The fish is still fresh. I can't keep this fish!"
Deng Shufen waved her hands repeatedly, but her eyes were glued to the fish and she couldn't move them away.
Qin Qing smiled and directly put the straw rope hanging on the fish's mouth into Deng Shufen's hand.
"Aunt, please keep it. This is also our token of appreciation."
This fish was originally left by Qin Qing for Deng Shufen.
This guy was actually used as a favor by Fang Zhiwei!
"Okay, I won't hold back then."
Deng Shufen took the fish with a smile, and watched Qin Qing start to pack up the stall. Her expression changed and she said.
"Big sister, it's almost noon, let's go to my house and have a meal."
"Huh? Auntie... this isn't good."
"What's wrong with that? Just a quick meal! Let's go!"
Deng Shufen was a passionate person. She took Qin Qing's hand and pulled her, not allowing her to refuse.
Fang Zhiwei quietly packed up his things at the back and followed with the backpack on his back.
"Come on, come on, add two sets of bowls and chopsticks!"
Deng Shufen lives in a small courtyard of a bungalow. She starts making preparations as soon as she enters the house.
Three dishes and a soup were already laid out on the small table in the yard.
As soon as Deng Shufen's daughter-in-law Cai Li heard the sound, she took out two sets of bowls and chopsticks.
"Mom, are there guests?"
"Yes, yes. Is your dad back?"
"I'm washing my hands inside."
"Okay, big sister, come and eat together!"
Deng Shufen enthusiastically arranged for Qin Qing and the other person to sit down.
"Mom, who are these two?"
"This is Qin Qing, the boss who sold me fish yesterday. This is her man, who is..."
Deng Shufen smiled awkwardly.
"Fang Zhiwei." Fang Zhiwei nodded.
"Yes! Xiao Fang! Xiao Qin! This is my daughter-in-law Cai Li. You can just call me Aunt Deng."
Deng Shufen laughed heartily.
Her son was assigned to work abroad, and her daughter-in-law Cai Li looked young and gentle, but she looked quite good.
"Xu Sifang, hurry up and come out to eat!"
Deng Shufen yelled loudly, and a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a blue cloth shirt came out from the inner room with a frown on his face.
"What are you yelling about when you're just eating? Oh, there are guests."
Xu Sifang walked out expressionlessly, sat down and started eating right away.
As soon as he appeared, the atmosphere at the dinner table instantly became eight degrees colder.
"What kind of evil disease is this again?! Don't bother with him, just eat!"
Deng Shufen was busy picking up some food for Qin Qing.
Seeing the host Kuai calm, Qin Qing felt a little embarrassed, but Fang Zhiwei was very calm and ate his meal comfortably.
"What's wrong with your dad? Is there something wrong at the factory?"
When Deng Shufen saw that Xu Sifang was only eating rice and not picking up any vegetables, she knew that he was probably suffering from work-related illness again.
"Mom, the factory has a batch of waste cloth, and Dad is worried sick."
"Your father, the head of the production department, always keeps a close eye on production. How could there be a problem?"
"It's Deputy Director Li who bought a second-hand machine, and it's broken. All the cloth it produces is waste!"
"That Li Dongcheng is always thinking about taking kickbacks. Now that there's a problem, let him solve it!"
Deng Shufen grumbled in dissatisfaction.
Xu Sifang sighed, "I'm the head of the production department. I have to take responsibility for this batch of waste cloth!"
After putting down the bowl, he really had no appetite and stood up to leave.
"Chief Xu! How are you going to manage this batch of cloth?"
Qin Qing suddenly asked.
Xu Sifang turned around and looked at her. He saw that she was beautiful, but still a little girl.
"Why are you asking this, little girl?"
"Maybe... I can take all your cloth."
When Qin Qing said this, Deng Shufen and her family were stunned.
Deng Shufen pulled Qin Qing and said, "Sister, you can't say that! Those cloths are waste. You'll lose money if you buy them!"
"Xiao Qin, it's not easy to earn money selling fish, you can't waste it like this."
Cai Li also followed suit, saying that Qin Qing and Fang Zhiwei both had a strong fishy smell on their bodies.
Going out early and coming back late every day to sell fish, if the family is not poor, who would do this dirty and tiring work.
"Auntie, Sister Cai, thank you. But I really want this batch of cloth."
Qin Qing said very seriously.
Fang Zhiwei didn't say a word about her bold idea.
He silently felt the money in his pocket. Yesterday's 49.95 yuan, plus today's money from selling fish, totaled 1.63 yuan.
I don’t know if it’s enough for her to buy cloth.
Unexpectedly, Xu Sifang's expression suddenly changed, and he stared at Qin Qing with great disdain.
"Sorry, I'd rather throw this cloth in the garbage than sell it to you!"
