Xu Yan put the book down, hummed, and went to add more fire. He opened the pot, took out a few steamed buns, and poured flour batter into the boiling water, making it into white flour porridge, and breakfast was ready.
Last night, Tang Yiyi fried some pickles, which were just right for eating with this dish.
"Go to the city today and talk to the boss lady. Next time you go, bring some cotton-padded jackets with you and ask her to give you some cloth. Also, talk to her about the price.
A cotton coat costs an extra fifty cents. If you bring cotton, it's three dollars and a half. If you don't bring cotton, you have to pay an extra pound of cotton. Cotton is one dollar and twenty cents per pound. No ticket is required."
One pound of cotton is enough to make a jacket.
"She'll still get the same price for the fabric, and we'll make the money from the cotton. Explain this to her clearly, and bring her a few more bottles of lotion."
She has a lot of customers, so she can definitely sell more sets.
Xu Yan nodded: "Okay, I'll go talk to her."
Tang Yiyi was really impressed by Xu Yan's ability. Last time, he bought a sewing machine from the boss lady for only 120 yuan without a receipt, which showed that Xu Yan was a business person.
"Okay, go ask the old lady if she sells cotton and give her one dollar per pound." He made two cents for himself.
The old lady has a hard time, and I am not a person who loses my morals just because of money.
"Ask her if she can fluff the cotton, bring it back after she's done, and use it directly when the time comes." Xu Yan remembered everything Tang Yiyi said. He put down his chopsticks and got up to wash the pot. After Tang Yiyi finished her porridge, he washed the dishes again.
Tang Yiyi went into the house. It was already dawn outside. Tang Yiyi took out fifty yuan and gave it to Xu Yan. When Xu Yan came in and saw the fifty yuan, he knew that Tang Yiyi was giving him money to buy cotton.
"If you want to buy cotton, tell the old lady to give her a deposit first. If you can play it, you can pay the rest when you go to pick it up."
Xu Yan took the money and put it in his pocket, then pushed the bicycle out. "I'm leaving now. Be careful at home, keep the door closed, and don't come out."
Seeing Tang Yiyi close the door, he rode his bike forward. Xu Lin tied up the clothes and carried them at the door waiting for Xu Yan. When he saw someone coming, he tied them to the back seat.
"Buy me some brown sugar. Your sister-in-law has been having leg cramps these days." As he said that, he took out some money and gave it to Xu Yan. Xu Yan didn't take it. He said he would talk to her when he got back, and then rode away on his bike.
Xu Lin watched Xu Yan leave, and without taking out any more money, he put his hands in his pockets and went back.
