Chapter 277 Buy Buy Buy
The tractor passed through the country road, then got on the national highway, and then continued to bump along the way towards the county.
There were several bulging burlap bags piled on the truck bed. Xuanyuemei and Gao Shufang had no place to step, so they could only sit on the burlap bags. These soft burlap bags saved them from the bumpy ride.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the tractor stopped in front of a brand new house.
Unlike ordinary houses, the first floor of this house is not equipped with traditional wooden doors, but rolling shutter doors.
There are already rolling shutters now, but there are fewer aluminum ones, most of them are made of iron, and they cannot be opened by electronic remote control. After opening the lock, you have to rely on manpower to push up the rolling shutter door. During the process, a rattling sound will be made.
Installing rolling shutter doors has its advantages. They do not take up space and do not block light. Once the door is opened, the spacious store inside is revealed.
In the days to come, rolling shutters will further cover all storefronts, and their technological content will become increasingly higher, with convenient and anti-theft functions.
The first floor has been completely renovated and looks bright everywhere. Gao Shufang was amazed. After looking around, her eyes were fixed on the largest crystal chandelier.
The lights haven't been turned on yet, but the crystal decorations alone are enough to attract people's attention.
Gao Mingcheng noticed that the two women's eyes were attracted by the crystal chandelier, and immediately turned on the switch. The moment the power was turned on, the crystal chandelier lit up, emitting a charming glow.
This is still daytime. If it were night, the lights would definitely look even more beautiful!
"Wow! So beautiful!" The two women exclaimed, their eyes fascinated. As expected, not many women can resist the charm of the crystal chandelier.
The reason why Gao Mingcheng spent a huge amount of money to buy the crystal chandelier was just for the sake of gimmick!
It can be said that he is the first clothing store in the county to install crystal chandeliers! This alone is enough to attract a lot of attention!
The decoration of the entire store, viewed from the perspective of later generations, is too rustic and simple, but now, it is trendy and fashionable!
"Okay, don't just stand there. You two go to the backyard to fetch water. These shelves and containers need to be cleaned. There must be no dust. The floor must also be mopped!" Gao Mingcheng ordered, and he went to move the goods and luggage off the tractor.
In addition to the spacious store on the first floor, there are also two changing rooms and a small warehouse. The small warehouse is now full of goods, which were purchased by Gao Mingcheng from Yangcheng.
He had no place to put the local goods he had, so he could only put them upstairs first and take them down when the downstairs was cleaned up and ready to be stocked.
So the two girls were busy cleaning, and Gao Mingcheng was also busy moving things. After everything was put back in place, Gao Mingcheng said, "I'll go buy some pots, pans, and coal briquettes!"
The kitchen in the backyard has been built, but it is empty and there is no way to light a fire and cook.
He drove out on his tractor so he could buy everything in one trip.
After buying the kitchen utensils, he had to go out again, this time to buy bedding. This house had never been lived in, so many daily necessities were missing.
Fortunately, the rooms on the second floor are equipped with beds and cabinets, so people can live there at any time. As for the third floor, Gao Mingcheng is short of money and it is not needed at the moment, so he only made doors and windows, and even the tiles and white walls have not been put on.
He planned to renovate the third floor after the clothing store started making money.
Gao Mingcheng spent the entire afternoon buying various daily necessities, and the money in his pocket was spent like water.
Seeing that Gao Mingcheng bought two beddings, Gao Shufang realized belatedly that she had only brought some clothes for changing but not her own bedding!
She said somewhat remorsefully, "Oh, I should have brought my bedding so I wouldn't have to buy more!"
Gao Mingcheng smiled and said, "It's okay. We'll need it eventually. It's no trouble to bring it with us!"
When Xuanmei saw that Gao Mingcheng bought so many things, she couldn't help but worry that he had no money in his pocket, so she took out all the money she had with her and gave it all to Gao Mingcheng.
Before Gao Mingcheng started working as a driver, he left a sum of money for Xuanyuemei, but two months later, the money had not decreased at all.
Looking at the money stuffed into his hand, Gao Mingcheng felt warm in his heart. He did not take it, but handed it back to Xuanyuemei and said, "Keep this money. Use it as change after the store opens."
To do business, you need to collect money and make change. It is a common practice for merchants to prepare some change in advance.
"Do you still have money?" Many beauties looked at Gao Mingcheng worriedly, fearing that Gao Mingcheng would refuse it.
"Well, there are still some." Gao Mingcheng said truthfully, and added in his heart - but not much.
Although he made some money and had some gray income, his expenses were also high. He had not yet paid for the goods he bought from Gao Shouwang, and they had agreed to pay him after the clothing store opened.
"Okay, I definitely won't be polite to you if I don't have money. You can keep this money for your business. Now let's stock up first - Shufang, go get that bag of hangers!"
Gao Mingcheng moved the goods out of the warehouse. The goods were all packed in woven bags. Once the bags were opened, the cotton coats inside were freed and immediately popped out of the bags.
The three of them took the cotton coats out of the bag, shook them out, and then hung them on hangers. Seeing the creases on the clothes, Gao Mingcheng thought about buying an electric iron.
If you want to sell it at a high price, the product cannot have any defects, especially cashmere coats, which must be crisp. If you have creases all over it, then the high-end fabric will lose its class and naturally you won’t be able to sell it at a high price.
There was too much cargo, and the three of them were busy. When they took a break, they found that it was already past seven o'clock in the evening. Their stomachs made rumbling sounds, reminding them that it was past time for eating.
"Ming Cheng, did you buy noodles? Let's cook noodles tonight!" Xuanyuemei said. Cooking rice takes too long, so noodles are much more convenient.
Gao Mingcheng said: "I bought it, and I also bought eggs."
So Xuanyue went to the kitchen in the backyard to cook, while Gao Mingcheng and Gao Shufang continued to work.
Their clothing store does not have detailed classifications. It sells both men's and women's clothing, and even children's clothing. It can be considered a medium-sized clothing supermarket.
Half an hour later, many beautiful voices came from the backyard: "Mingcheng, Shufang, it's time to eat noodles!"
Gao Mingcheng hung up the last piece of clothing in his hand and said to Gao Shufang, "Let's go, let's stop here for today!"
The two went to the backyard, where in addition to the kitchen, there was a wooden table for eating.
After dinner, Gao Mingcheng asked them to go upstairs to rest and continue to tidy up the store during the day tomorrow.
Today is indeed a tiring day. Although the bedding has been bought, the quilt covers still need to be put on manually. At this time, the quilt covers are mainly hand-stitched, and there are no quilt covers with zippers.
Fluorescent lights illuminated the entire room. Gao Mingcheng sat on a chair to rest and watched the many beauties working.
The quilt cover is divided into two parts. One part is the colorful quilt cover. Gao Mingcheng bought the classic red-bottomed peony pattern, while the lower part is a pink striped pattern.
Xuanyuemei first spread the quilt bottom, then asked Gao Mingcheng to help put the cotton quilt in place, then straightened the quilt cover with red background and peony flowers, and finally turned up the pink striped quilt bottom, folded the four corners in half, and then sewed the quilt bottom and quilt cover together.
In this way, the quilt cover is ready.
When it becomes dirty and needs to be washed again, remove the sewn threads, clean the two pieces of cloth, and then continue sewing.
In order to avoid frequent washing of the quilt cover, some people will sew a piece of cloth on the part close to the head, because this is the only part of the quilt that is often in friction with the body and is most likely to get dirty.
If it is dirty, remove the fabric at the back and wash it. This way, you only need to sew and wash it once a winter.
This can be regarded as a little life experience for housewives. It may not look so beautiful, but it is indeed practical.
Gao Mingcheng forgot to buy an extra piece of cloth, so Xuanyuemei reminded him to remember to buy it tomorrow.
What could Gao Mingcheng say? Of course he agreed!
