Someone who could read pointed to the words on the flyer and said, "It really is ten yuan for everything, five yuan for a vest. It's in the clothing market not far away. Why don't we go take a look? Consider it exercise."
"That's true, I'll go take a look too, I'm free anyway." Once someone started going, others followed suit, grabbing flyers from Xu Hongshan's hand regardless of whether they understood them or not, afraid of missing any important information.
"Hey, take fewer flyers, just one for every few people," Xu Hongshan said with a pained expression. These flyers cost money, and he still had to distribute them in other places!
Seeing everyone walking out of the park in groups, Xu Hongshan kindly reminded them, "Don't go empty-handed, remember to bring money, bring plenty."
"Hey, this old man is quite thoughtful; he knew we were going to buy it?"
"That's right, that's right! We might just take a look, we're not sure if we'll buy it or not!"
"Hey, where are you going? Go to the clothing market this way." An older woman immediately reminded her companion when she saw that he was going in the wrong direction.
"Hehe, I'm going home to get some water and pick up some money on the way," his companion said sheepishly, after all, he had just said he wasn't going to buy anything.
"I knew you were an old woman. Humph, I'm going home to get my money too."
Seeing that the old ladies dispersed immediately, Old Xu figured his message had been effective. After thinking for a moment, he went home to get some more leaflets to distribute to each household in the apartment building. He was a very ethical person, and he couldn't just take the money for nothing; he had to make sure the message was properly disseminated.
...
As soon as Zhang Xuemei and Xu Mingwan arrived at the store, they started working. The two of them dumped the short-sleeved shirts from the bag onto the ground and began to unpack the bag.
"Sister-in-law, are we taking them all down? These two floats can't hold that many, can they?" Xu Mingwan asked worriedly, looking at the clothes thrown on the floats. There were just too many clothes, and they hadn't bought any hangers, otherwise they could have hung them on the racks on the side.
Zhang Xuemei had also thought of this problem, so she put the clothes in her hand on the float, thought for a moment, gestured a few times with her hands, and said, "Look, put men's short-sleeved shirts on one side and women's short-sleeved shirts on the other side, stack them together. Anyway, they will be messed up later, so let's take out a few at first and replenish them as we sell them! Put all the children's clothes and men's vests on the other side."
Actually, it's not a big problem. Most short-sleeved shirts are one size fits all, with only a few styles available in different sizes, so there's no need to go to the trouble of finding the right size for you.
"By the way, you'll be standing inside handling the cash register in a bit, and I'll be right next to you keeping an eye on things." Even if it doesn't necessarily stop people from getting itchy fingers, it's better than not keeping an eye on them at all.
As they unpacked the clothes, the two looked outside. There were quite a few people shopping in the clothing market at this time, but they didn't really want to go in because of the mess in Zhang Xuemei's shop.
Zhang Xuemei looked up and saw a mother and daughter looking into their shop. She smiled and walked to the door, saying, "Sister, are you shopping with your daughter? Why don't you come in and take a look? We also have short-sleeved shirts for children, both boys and girls. They're not expensive, only eight yuan a piece."
"Eight yuan? You're not kidding me, are you?" Yang Sufeng looked at Zhang Xuemei in surprise. Eight yuan couldn't even buy a short-sleeved shirt these days. The cheapest one she bought for her daughter last year cost fifteen yuan! Could it be that she's trying to lure her in first and then raise the price?
"No way, we're just clearing out our stock. We're selling it cheaply, and that's all we have. Once it's gone, it's gone. Come on in and take a look, it's free anyway, right?" Zhang Xuemei urged, determined that once someone came in, she wouldn't believe anyone would leave empty-handed.
“Okay, then let’s take a look.” Yang Sufeng pulled her daughter in. It doesn’t matter which store she buys from. If the quality is the same, she’ll just buy it directly.
Zhang Xuemei picked up a pink short-sleeved shirt with a cartoon pattern and held it up against the little girl, saying with a smile, "Look, your daughter has fair skin and looks good in anything. There aren't many of these pink short-sleeved shirts available, so you'd better hurry if you want one."
What little girl doesn't love pink and tender clothes? Her eyes lit up when Zhang Xuemei took them out and held them up against her. She tugged at her mother's sleeve and said sweetly, "Mommy, I want it, I want this dress, please buy it for me!"
Yang Sufeng touched the quality of the clothes and then held them up to the child a few times. They were indeed quite nice, so she smiled and replied, "Okay, okay, Mom will buy them for you. I'll buy you two today, and you can pick one more yourself."
As soon as the little girl heard her mother agree to buy her another one, she immediately reached out and started looking on the flower cart, muttering as she searched, "Just two? Mom, I think they're all pretty. Why don't you buy a few more? I don't need any next year."
Yang Sufeng reached out and tapped her forehead, laughing and scolding, "You're so cunning! Even if it's cheap, it's still eight yuan. You pay for it! Besides, it's only you who wants to wear it. Your father and I don't want it."
The little girl pouted and fell silent. Sigh, I should have brought my secret stash of money with me. She likes every single item!
"Hey lady, look, the kids' shirts are eight yuan each. You should buy a few more, even if they're a bit too big, so they'll fit perfectly next year. You won't get this price again if you miss this opportunity. We're just helping our relatives who own factories clear out their stock, otherwise we wouldn't be selling them at this price. Besides, we also have short-sleeved shirts for adults, ten yuan each. That's a great deal! You can take a few more home with you."
"Mom, it's eight yuan! Please buy me a few more! Please, Mom!" Before Yang Sufeng could reply, the little girl blurted out, refusing to let go of the clothes she was holding.
"Why is it only ten yuan? Didn't you just say it was all eight yuan?" Yang Sufeng was a little unhappy. Why couldn't they sell it to her for eight yuan?
Zhang Xuemei quickly explained, "Yes, I didn't explain clearly just now. Children's clothes are all eight yuan, and adult short-sleeved shirts are ten yuan regardless of gender. There are also some men's vests for five yuan. They are all good quality items, but the styles are not complete, so it is difficult to ship them. Therefore, we are selling them at a loss."
"The vest is five yuan. Where is it? Let me see it." Yang Sufeng was tempted when she heard five yuan, and no longer hesitated over ten or eight yuan.
In the sweltering summer, a tank top is more suitable for men than a short-sleeved shirt, and besides, it's half the price!
"Look, they're all on this float, along with the children's clothes. Pick one yourself!"
"Is this the shop the old man was talking about? There's no storefront, is it really?" A few elderly women came to the door, holding several slips of paper and muttering to themselves.
Zhang Xuemei was surprised to see that her father-in-law was quite helpful, as the people had arrived so quickly.
So he quickly walked to the door and called out loudly, "Aunties, shopping for clothes! Come in and have a look, we're having a sale, clothes for five, eight, or ten yuan, come in and pick one out!"
