Jiang Fen said with some displeasure, "Grandma Yuan, you know that Qiancheng is the only one in our family who makes money. We are still poor now, but it will be very difficult when we have children. I am thinking of learning how to set up a stall from you. I will also go out to buy some goods in the future to help the next customer."
"Xiao Jiang, your Aunt Yuan and I haven't done it yet. We have never done it before. What can you learn from us? Wait until we sell for a few days and gain experience, then we can talk about it." Uncle Ge was afraid that Aunt Yuan would agree, so he quickly took over. He knew the background of his young wife Xiao Yu. If she really made money in business, would she still be able to live with Xiao Yu? They didn't dare to agree to this.
Jiang Fen looked unhappy, and said stiffly, "Well, when you are too busy in a few days, I will go to help." After that, she went home and slammed the door. They were from the same courtyard, and she didn't want him to help. Who was she guarding against? Anyone in the south could go. She would discuss it with him and then go to buy the goods herself.
Aunt Yuan stretched her head and took a look. "She's not happy about it. If she wants to help, then she can. We live in the same courtyard. We see each other every day. It's not easy."
"Is there anyone who can help her? When she needs to purchase goods, will you go to the south to buy them for her? I am the one who is licking my old face and relying on some favors to ask the old man to help take care of her. Everyone in the courtyard needs to do business. Can he help? He went to purchase goods for us? He won't do business for himself? Besides, this young wife doesn't make money to live with her, so go find her a wife."
Since getting married, Uncle Ge has always been smiling and has never said anything harsh to Aunt Yuan. But today, seeing his wife being so naughty, he was a little confused and couldn't control his anger.
Aunt Yuan shrank her neck and said, "I haven't thought about it that much. If I don't want to help, then I won't help. Don't be angry."
Uncle Ge glanced at Aunt Yuan and said, "Let's cook." He then went to the backyard with his hands behind his back. He just heard that his young wife ran away after earning some money. His wife looked quite old now. What if she earns some money and despises him for being old and doesn't want to live with him anymore? He must be on guard.
There was no one at home, so the third child found some clean clothes, took his things and prepared to take a bath, rubbing himself.
Uncle Ge saw him carrying something and said, "Go take a shower. I'm going too. I haven't taken a shower for half a month and my body is itchy."
"You are old, and you will catch a cold if you shake off after taking a bath. Saving your life is more important, so you'd better not go." The third brother was unwilling to go with the old man. One person could call a bath scrubber, and two people could go and rub each other's backs. Old people usually save money as much as possible and don't want to spend any more money. He was already so tired, and he didn't want to stick his butt out to get a bath.
"I'll treat you to a bath!" Uncle Ge saw through the third brother's little thoughts at a glance. He has been living off the third brother all these years.
"Uncle Ge, you are so generous. Let's go quickly. It will be dark and the road will be slippery." The third brother laughed.
An old man and a child walked out of the compound arm in arm.
"What is the purchase price of those goods?" Uncle Ge asked on the way.
The third brother told me the purchase price. The average price of socks and underwear was 30 cents, and the shirts were more expensive at 1 yuan.
"So cheap?" Uncle Ge was surprised. Prices have gone up this year, and clothing prices have almost increased by half.
The third brother put his arm around Uncle Ge's shoulders and said, "My Lord, this is the purchase price. You have to take into account the remaining goods and so on. Besides, the cost of setting up the stall is low, but I have to consider the rent, water, electricity, labor and so on. These are all costs."
Uncle Ge had never done business before, so he didn’t understand the twists and turns involved. He asked, “So how much do you think is a good price for me to sell it for?”
"The goods I bought for you are all styles that we don't have here. They are all hot items. You sell them too expensively at the street stall. I'm afraid no one will buy them. You should sell socks and pants for at least one dollar, and shirts for three dollars a set, and two sets for one dollar. You can't sell them at a lower price than this. Sell them first and see how they go. When the time comes, you can increase the price of the items that are sold well by a few cents. If the items that are not sold well are sold at a lower price, you can sell them together. I still have a lot in my shop. If you don't have enough here, come to me and get some."
Uncle Ge nodded. The prices were about the same as those in the department store, but their styles and quality were better. In his eyes, nothing was inferior.
"Old man, you just started your business, so you're bound to have some problems in the beginning. Don't worry, wait a month or two, it will be the end of the year, and by then many people will buy from you, so you will definitely not make a loss. Give me the ones you can't sell. I give socks to everyone who buys clothes in my store. Don't worry if you can't sell them, and don't get upset." The third brother was afraid that the old man would get angry because it was his first time doing business. It was so cold, and he would get really angry.
