According to Lu Jiaxin's request, flyers were distributed at the gates of factories with many female workers and residential quarters with good performance on Friday and Saturday.
On the opening day, after the group went to Xiushui Street, Lu Jiaxin wrote a paper sign about the discount and put it at the door. She was afraid that people wouldn't notice it, so when more people came, she asked Xue Mao to use a loudspeaker to shout at the door.
The clothes hanging in the store are all matched by Lu Jiaxin. Because the prices are higher than those of other stalls, the elderly will turn around and leave when they see the prices. The young people pursue fashion and quality, and when they see the matched clothes in the store, they will stay and choose.
Lu Jiaxin would also choose clothes that suited the customers according to their skin color and body shape. She spoke very professionally, and the customers thought it made sense and basically bought it. However, the consequence of this was that her voice became hoarse by noon.
Seeing her like this, Lu Jiajie said distressedly: "Go back and rest, I'm here, I can handle it."
Lu Jiaxin didn't try to be stubborn and asked Qian Xiaoxiao to take her home. When she got home, she quickly made a cup of loquat paste water to drink. Because Xue Mao and Xiaoqiu were busy in the store, Xiaoxiao took her home and went back to help, so she made the afternoon medicine by herself.
Xiao Qiu came back at around five o'clock. She said excitedly, "Aunt, there are more people in the afternoon than in the morning. We are too busy to handle it."
Lu Jiaxin thought it was normal. Her clothing store was aimed at young women. Today was a sunny day, and young women who had not yet married and had children slept in, so they would not have time to go shopping until the afternoon.
As it was getting dark, Lu Jiajie came back on a tricycle with Lu Zhang and Lu Zhenzhen. As for Xue Mao, he rode a bicycle with Qian Xiaoxiao.
After riding the tricycle into the yard and parking it, Lu Jiajie handed the shoulder bag to Lu Jiaxin: "This is the payment for the goods received today, keep it."
After saying that, he prepared to leave.
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Don't worry, order after you finish eating."
Lu Jiajie didn't dare to wait so late to go back, and said: "There are so many clothes in the store, someone has to watch over them, otherwise thieves will steal the goods, and our losses will be huge."
"It's just getting dark now, so thieves won't be that bold. People are made of iron and rice is made of steel. If you don't eat, you'll be hungry. Eat first and then go."
Lu Jiajie hurriedly ate a bowl of rice and left.
After finishing her meal, Lu Jiaxin went into the house to count the money. Now the largest denominations were the big unity notes, and it took a person half a day to count a bag of money. She picked out the big unity notes, counted them, put them in a bag and put them in the drawer, and took the rest of the money to the main room and called Xue Mao, Xiao Qiu and others to count them together.
After counting the money, Xiao Qiu said excitedly, "Aunt, here is a total of 1,692.80 yuan. Aunt, how much did we earn in total?"
It is impossible to calculate how much money I make exactly, because the purchase price of each style of clothing is different and the selling price is also different, plus there are free gifts and discounts.
Seeing that Lu Jiaxin didn't say anything, Xiao Xiao smiled and said, "It's enough to know that you made money. There's no need to know how much you made."
It was hard to calculate the exact amount, so I could only give a rough estimate. The big unity had 3,000 yuan, and today's sales were a few yuan short of 4,700 yuan. She felt that a 30% profit was possible, so she made about 1,400 yuan today.
After what happened before, Lu Jiaxin didn't tell them the amount: "It's better than setting up a breakfast stall."
Xue Mao said with some regret: "Sister Xin, if we can get the goods from Gaodi Street and sell them back, the profit can at least double."
Lu Jiaxin looked at him and asked with a smile, "I can't stop taking my medicine, so who's going to Yangcheng? You and Fifth Brother? Do you know how to choose women's clothing?"
The store is aimed at young women, and she doesn't trust Lu Jiajie's vision. If the fabrics or styles of the clothes she chooses are old-fashioned, she won't even make a profit.
Xue Mao was stumped by the question.
If she wasn't in such poor health, she would have opened a clothing factory in Pengcheng instead of opening a store here. However, after more than three months of recuperation, her health is obviously better than before. Since she returned to the city last year, she has only caught a cold once when the weather changed, so this time she will definitely follow the doctor's advice.
After dinner, Lu Jiaxin gave Lu Zhang and Lu Zhenzhen a red envelope each. Zhenzhen refused, saying that she had not been of much help in the store.
Lu Jiaxin touched Lu Zhenzhen's head and said with a smile: "How can I not help? You are faster than Xiaoqiu in calculating the accounts, and you have never made a mistake."
I had noticed before that Lu Zhenzhen was good at mental arithmetic, and this time it was even more obvious. This was a talent, and even Xiaoqiu, who had a higher degree than her, couldn't compare to her.
Lu Zhang had already set his eyes on a comic book, but unfortunately he didn't have enough pocket money, so he couldn't bear to refuse: "Aunt, can you please not tell my parents?"
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "If your parents didn't ask, I wouldn't tell them. If they asked, I couldn't lie, but I wouldn't tell them how much I gave them."
Lu Zhang took the money and put it in his pocket.
After leaving the alley, Lu Zhang couldn't wait to open the red envelope. Seeing two big red envelopes, he shouted happily: "My aunt is so kind to give me such a big red envelope."
He thought five dollars was a lot, but he didn't expect his aunt to be so generous.
Lu Zhenzhen also opened the red envelope, which also contained two big unity notes. She smiled so hard that her eyebrows curved: "Brother, we have to give this money to our parents."
Lu Zhang immediately got angry and his voice became louder unconsciously: "No, I can't give it to my parents, otherwise I will lose my comic book."
Lu Zhenzhen smiled and said, "The comic book you like is three yuan for the whole set. Turn in twenty yuan, and let your parents give you three yuan to buy comics."
"Why would my parents give me money to buy comic books?" Lu Zhang said with a bitter face. His parents opposed him reading extracurricular books, so he read them secretly at school.
"Just watch it at home and don't bring it to school. I'm sure your parents won't object."
What could Lu Zhang do? If he didn't agree to hand over the money, he wouldn't be able to keep it. If he did as she said, he might still have the comic book, or he would lose everything.
Qian Xiaoxiao saw her bitter face and smiled and suggested: "Next time, don't ask for money and let Sister Xin buy it for you. Sister Xin is easy to talk to, and she will definitely buy you any comic book or toy."
When Lu Zhang heard this, he immediately stuffed the red envelope into Qian Xiaoxiao's pocket and said, "Miss, give this money to my aunt and ask her to buy comics for me. I'll keep the rest of the money with her first, and I can buy roller skates when I save more."
When Lu Zhenzhen heard about the word "skating shoes", her eyes lit up. After a moment of hesitation, she gave the red envelope to Qian Xiaoxiao. She didn't want to buy toys or comic books, but a skirt for her mother.
Qian Xiaoxiao agreed readily.
Lu Jiaxin knew about the brother and sister's plan, and said with some emotion: "So it's better to have a daughter, who is caring and filial. When a son is naughty when he is young, it's a lot of worry, but whether he will be filial when he grows up and has his own family depends on the daughter-in-law."
Her parents got married after falling in love. They loved each other happily after marriage, but they often quarreled and finally divorced. After they remarried, they had children and quarreled frequently. So she was somewhat repulsive to marriage. She felt that no matter how strong the feelings were, they would fade and disappear after marriage. This was also the case. She broke up after two relationships.
Seeing that many people are disgusted with the heroine inviting Lu Jiajie again, I would like to explain here. First, although Lu Jiajie has shortcomings, the heroine sees that he acts with principles, and she doesn't worry about him running away with the money or goods. In addition, he knows a lot of people and can solve the problem if there is anyone who finds fault; second, when Ding Jing came in, Lu Jiajie was worried that the original body would be abused, and he went to visit Ding Jing every week despite the cold faces of Ding Jing and her daughter. The heroine thought it was precious and was more tolerant of him (this is something that few people can do, anyway, Liu Yue believes that she can't do it); third, the heroine opened a clothing store to earn money for the family as a by-product, mainly to train Xue Mao and Xiao Qiu, to see if the two of them are good at doing business.
