Chapter 278 Not Cheap
Usually, Ye Qian, Wang Qiong and Fu Shan go to purchase goods. The other four have long been curious about what the wholesale market looks like. Since they really need manpower for this purchase, Ye Qian did not hesitate to use them at their request.
After a long and hustling journey, busy eating breakfast, busy catching the early bus, and busy enduring the crowds, the seven of them finally got off the bus and breathed a sigh of relief as they stood at the bus stop. Chen Yuan couldn't help but say, "Thank you for all your hard work every morning."
"Haha, hurry up, if you go too late there will be no stock." Without waiting for everyone to catch their breath, Ye Qian quickly brought people in and went directly to everyone's stalls. She took away a lot of new goods, took away 100 pieces first, and asked everyone to deliver the rest to the store in the evening. She ran to another store that she found three pieces later. That store was run by an older sister. Her style was different from that of the older brother. The older brother bought basic styles, while the older sister sold more special styles.
No matter what the style or appearance, quality is the first priority. Since she opened a store, she naturally didn't want to deceive customers. Otherwise, it would be like the night market before, where people would make a fuss after selling a few pieces, and then ask for returns. To be honest, no one came to the stall opposite after that day. I heard that she also took all the clothes to the wholesale place and made a fuss, and then returned them. Fortunately, she didn't have to pay any money, but this was also because she didn't control it strictly enough.
Several people also bought dozens of goods here, and asked the eldest sister to deliver the rest to the store, and then moved to the accessories area. The weather was getting hot soon, so they could buy some small accessories to sell together, such as hairpins and hairbands. They could sell them together. Making more money was still money. No matter how small an ant was, it was still meat. The key was that if it was well matched, it would not look redundant, but rather particularly exquisite.
After buying the accessories, she also bought some small leather shoes and Huili and Feiyue shoes, which were also very popular in later generations. She also stored several pairs of shoes of various sizes in her space. The prices of shoes of this era were similar to those of the clothes in her store. Sometimes they were matched together and many people bought them.
The shoes took up space and were heavy, making it difficult for several girls to carry them, so Ye Qian asked the shoe sellers to deliver the shoes to the store.
Then they immediately squeezed onto the bus back home, quickly finished restocking the store, and rushed back to school for morning classes. As they ran, Chen Yuan complained, "Why does life have to be so hard? I'm so tired, and most importantly, I'm hungry."
"Why don't you complain about why you make so much money? To be honest, the money you make this semester is more than we can earn in our entire lifetime." Zhang Yunyun retorted.
"Sister Yun, I just have a few complaints. Don't take them too seriously. I'm still very motivated when it comes to doing things." After saying this, Chen Yuan immediately said goodbye to everyone and headed in another direction to his classroom.
"Don't complain about the hard work when you get paid." Zhang Yunyun muttered with a smile, but everyone knew she was joking. It was just that everyone remembered what Ye Qian said a few days ago about asking for help, and felt that this was really feasible. Otherwise, it would be too tiring to rely on oneself for everything. Everyone also began to pay attention. It would be best if they could find some simple classmates in their class to help.
Everyone returned to their own class and began to study seriously.
At noon, everyone returned to the store as quickly as possible. Today, they were not only helping Aunt Wang, but also because the glass bowls and cups ordered today had arrived in the morning. Aunt Wang arranged for them to be put directly into the warehouse. Ye Qian took them out and took a look. They had a bit of the flavor of the glass bowls in later generations. The edges on them were also polished very smoothly, so they would not cut your mouth when used. The LOGO below was also printed very clearly.
After reading it, Ye Qian nodded and felt good about it.
Aunt Wang and Shen Feng continued to sell braised food, while Ye Qian and Liu Yubing, Fu Shan and He Jun who had already arrived started making double skin milk. They made three buckets today. After Wang Qiong, Zhang Yunyun and Chen Yuan arrived, they asked them to rinse the glass bowls and dry them so that they could start using them in the evening.
After the glass bowls were cleaned, everyone started eating without hesitation. Aunt Wang served them lunch and placed it aside. They ate this every morning and evening, and no matter how delicious it was, it was a bit greasy. Ye Qian had no appetite and gave half to Chen Yuan. "You haven't had enough, right? Let me have some."
Chen Yuan said gratefully: "Sister Qian, you know me too well. I really haven't eaten enough."
Ye Qian propped up her head and looked at Chen Yuan and asked, "How come you haven't gotten tired of eating this yet? Don't you think it's too greasy?"
"A few more meals will be enough." Then Chen Yuan continued to ask: "Should we start changing our taste?"
Ye Qian looked at her with a smile and asked, "Then what do you want to eat?"
Chen Yuan really thought about it seriously: "Ah, this question is so difficult, I have so many things I want to eat, why don't I try to have some every day." "Okay." Ye Qian didn't want to agree directly. Chen Yuan was a little bit unbelieving: "Really, really, Sister Qian?"
"What do you say? If you want to eat it, make it yourself."
Chen Yuan immediately showed disappointment: "Ah, forget it then. I can still stick with this braised pork rice."
Chen Yuan's expression made everyone laugh. Speaking of Chen Yuan, Ye Qian was really curious about what kind of family could raise such a lively person. Chen Yuan was not young at all. In fact, he was a few months older than Ye Qian and had two children. But he was lively and likable. Although he was old, it didn't feel awkward at all for him to call others sister.
After preparing all these, Ye Qian said to everyone: "Next week, we will start selling jelly."
"I've eaten jelly before, but it doesn't have much taste," said Liu Yubing.
"It's definitely tasteless without adding anything. If you add some ingredients, it will not only be more expensive, but also taste great." Ye Qian explained, "I'll make some for you to try tonight."
Everyone nodded. Who wouldn't like to eat something new? Of course, no one followed Ye Qian to find out the origins of these things.
…
After school in the afternoon, it was still the same as setting up the stall as usual, but the difference was that Ye Qian had shaken the double skin milk in advance and put it in glass bowls, one bowl of red bean and one bowl of coconut, and placed them on the table. Then she filled a few bottles of orange juice and placed them on the table. It looked very beautiful. The people in the queue asked, "Hey, classmate, these bowls look really good here."
"This is a new bowl we made, specially used for selling these. You can add 50 cents to each one. Not only can you use it to hold our juice, you can also use it to boil water and eat. Of course, we are not forcing you to sell it, but it is more hygienic to bring your own bowl to eat, so we prepared these." The main reason was that Ye Qian was too lazy to wash.
Some people who were well off felt that recycling was indeed much cleaner and more hygienic, and of course, because it was novel, they bought one. Many people also found it convenient to bring their own bowls, so they did not buy one. After one night, the strongest feeling they had was that they had to wash fewer dishes, and that was enough.
