Shu Aiguo's bicycle couldn't carry all that cargo, so Chu Yu called a tricycle to follow them, and the uncle and nephew chatted as they walked.
"Chu Yu, how much stock did you bring in this time? I don't know if there's enough space upstairs. If you have a lot of stock, rent a warehouse. Your second uncle will help you build some shelves so you can categorize and arrange the goods on them. That way, it will be easier to find what you need."
The security situation was bad, so Chu Yu didn't really want to rent a warehouse, fearing that the goods would be stolen. It wasn't worth paying someone to watch the warehouse either.
She was thinking that once the money for the suit arrived, she would buy a house with a yard in Deyang, where her family would move in, and the shop would be left to her second uncle's family. Otherwise, if Yunyun, Xiaojiang, and Sister Shulan came over, they would have nowhere to stay.
No matter how good the relationship is with relatives, they can't always live together. Under the same roof, conflicts are inevitable. Distance makes the heart grow fonder, and Chu Yu understands this principle.
Besides, it's not like she doesn't have the money to buy a house. If she can't afford a courtyard house in Beijing or a river-view apartment in Shanghai, how could she not afford a small courtyard house in Deyang? She can spend a thousand or two to buy a house as her ancestral home in the city center. Whether she lives there herself or it is demolished for compensation, she will benefit from it.
She said she wanted to buy houses for her younger sisters, to give them a presentable family home, so let's start with this house!
"By the way, Chu Yu, Teacher Zhang from Dezhong has come looking for you many times. Go to the school and give him a reply, so he won't worry."
Chu Yu agreed, as a high level of education is like gold inlaid with jade, adding icing on the cake for a businessman.
It's something that needs to be written in one's resume and will follow them for life, so Chu Yu has to go to school to improve her resume.
I wonder how she did on the exam.
Even if she couldn't get first place in the grade, she could at least surpass Mao Xia, right? She really didn't want to see Zhou Fangchun's arrogant face.
"Chu Yu is back?" Aunt Deng Fangping, the second aunt, poked her head out of the glass window.
Shu Aiguo delivered part of the goods to Chu Xiang at the street stall, and carried the rest upstairs. Fearing that the goods might be stolen due to the constant flow of people coming and going at home, he even locked the door.
"Auntie, isn't my mom here?"
“Your mom took Chuchu to the hospital to see an eye doctor. If there’s nothing seriously wrong this time, Chuchu can take off her eye patch.”
Deng Fangping served Chu Yu a bowl of braised pork and a bowl of chicken soup, both specially prepared in anticipation of Chu Yu's return.
"You've lost weight after being away for a few days! You should drink some chicken soup to help you recover. How about a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger)? Your aunt will make you one."
Chu Yu smiled and shook her head, "No need, Aunt, there's enough food. I can't finish it all by myself."
"Sis, if you can't finish it, I'll help you eat it!" Xiao Jiang leaned over.
"That unlucky kid!" Deng Fangping glared at him, annoyed. "All you do all day is eat!"
Xiao Jiang was extremely aggrieved. "How could I not work? I helped you with the work every day, and I never saw you pay me! You're just framing me!"
Chu Yu smiled and gave Xiao Jiang a dollar, pinching his pouty little mouth. Xiao Jiang happily accepted it, suddenly feeling that enduring humiliation in front of his mother was no big deal.
"You spoil him!" Deng Fangping came over to wipe the table.
Chu Yu smiled and said, "Xiao Jiang is still young. Shouldn't we spoil children?"
Chu Yu treats Xiao Jiang well, and although Deng Fangping outwardly seems annoyed, she's secretly very happy. She cares for Chu Yu, and Chu Yu cares for Xiao Jiang; this reciprocal relationship is essential for maintaining good family ties.
After finishing her meal, Chu Yu went to the department store. Chu Xiang was managing the entire stall by herself, so she was inevitably busy and flustered. She had to go and handle the distribution of goods and check how well the sales had been these past few days.
There were even more customers queuing up than in the previous days. Knowing that Chu Yu was bringing back goods today, they came early to wait.
Almost all of the 40 pre-booked customers arrived. After Chu Yu distributed their portions, she then distributed the goods according to the order of their queue.
She didn't take out her autumn clothes right away. Women are very fond of everything when buying clothes. They like this and they like that. Looking at a pleated skirt, they think about autumn coats and sweaters. Some people will think that the prices are about the same, so they might as well just buy autumn clothes directly.
Instead of wasting time and effort, it's better to wait until most of the pleated skirts are released before selling the autumn clothes.
By the way, there isn't a style of wearing a suit with a pleated skirt now, but it was popular for a while in later generations. The hundreds of customers who bought the pleated skirts were all potential buyers of suits.
"Boss, your outfit is really stylish, why don't you stock up on some merchandise to sell?" a customer asked.
The clothes Chu Yu was wearing were stylish, but the fabric was rather ordinary, so they wouldn't fetch a high price. Besides, Deyang has a rather traditional social atmosphere, and not many people would accept super short shorts. Chu Yu sells clothes, and if she wore them occasionally, people would only think she was trendy and want to follow in her footsteps and copy her style.
However, this outfit is ultimately inappropriate for people who have to go to work or school. It might be fine for them to wear themselves, but it might not sell well if they are shipped back.
"This is a style from the south, and they're all out of stock in certain sizes. If we really brought them in, the women in Deyang would definitely think the clothes are too small."
The customers nodded in agreement. The young boss had such a great figure that she looked good even wrapped in a bed sheet. They didn't have such a good appearance and figure, and they needed clothes to cover up their shortcomings. How could they be so embarrassed to show their buttocks?
However, these super short shorts that lift up the buttocks are really outrageous. If they dared to wear them on the street, men would beat them to death!
Chu Yu had no idea that this was what they were thinking.
As she sorted the goods, she thought about Ji Kai's more than three thousand suits. The style of these suits was undoubtedly excellent, but no matter how good the style was, Chu Yu only had this one stall.
It's difficult for a suit to replicate the success of a pleated skirt.
Even if she sells a lot, she can only sell a few dozen pieces a day at most. It's no joke that autumn comes to Deyang overnight. The main seasons for wearing suits are spring and autumn. If she can't sell this batch of goods next month, she'll be stuck with them.
