"Isn't your price too high? And this cotton thing, is it really warm? Why have I never heard of it before?"
When An Jingzhi arrived, he saw an old woman, a middle-aged man, and a child who looked about six or seven years old. The old woman was bargaining with the clerk in the cotton-padded clothing shop.
The guys hadn't been trained and didn't show any contempt because they were dressed in rags.
He maintained a polite smile and said, "Our shop is right here. If you have any questions, you can come back anytime within seven days."
"You can't tell if this cotton-padded jacket is warm just by looking at it. Why don't you just take it off and let your child try it on and you'll know for sure."
As he said this, he didn't mind that the child was dirty, and put the cotton coat in his hand directly on the timid child.
The dress was very long for him, reaching down to the bend of the child's knees.
Zhang Sanlang's mother said embarrassedly, "Don't make it dirty for you anymore."
The guy just kept saying it was no big deal.
These have all been trained, and this cotton-padded jacket is specially for people to try on. Otherwise, people have never seen such a cotton-padded jacket, so how can they know if it is good without trying it on?
Since they were already dressed, Zhang Sanlang's mother simply stopped talking. When she saw Zhang Sanlang asking her son if he was warm, she also turned her gaze to her grandson.
The little child, feeling the warm clothes on his body, shook his head and said in surprise, "I'm not cold anymore, I'm not cold anymore, Daddy, Grandma, I'm not cold anymore!"
He wanted to reach out and touch the clothes, but when he saw his own little black hand, he didn't dare to stretch it out. He stood there like a stiff wooden man, with no joy on his face.
Zhang Sanlang's elderly mother asked the waiter, "Can I try it on at the door?"
There is a stove in this shop, so I have to go out to find out whether this cotton coat is useful or not.
The guy gestured to him to do as he pleased.
Zhang Sanlang took his son to the door. Zhang Sanlang's mother also wanted to go out, but she stopped after taking half a step.
Afraid that people would think they were going to run away with the clothes, they decided to stay and serve as hostages.
After going outside, Zhang Sanlang asked a few more questions, but his son still shook his head and said he was not cold. He touched his son's hand and reached in to feel the temperature inside his son's clothes.
Then he pulled his son inside and shook his head secretly. The clothes were indeed good, but they were too expensive after all.
The total amount of money they brought to buy New Year's goods was 700 coins. They couldn't just spend 400 coins to buy a piece of clothing for their son, right?
The clothes were taken off under the child's reluctant gaze. He shuddered as soon as they were taken off, followed by five or six sneezes.
It was acceptable before I felt the warmth, but after feeling the temperature and returning to the cold environment, my body felt a little uncomfortable.
Zhang Sanlang's mother's face was full of heartache, and she asked Zhang Sanlang to quickly take his grandson to the side to warm himself by the fire.
I walked straight up to the guy and handed him the clothes. "Sorry, young man, we are bothering you, but we don't want to buy them."
The other party was not angry, but just took the clothes and shook his head and said, "It's okay."
After taking a few steps forward, Zhang Sanlang's mother couldn't help but turn around and asked, "Do you really get a bag of melon seeds for free when you buy this clothes?"
Seeing this, Zhang Sanlang said, "Mom!" with a look of disapproval in his eyes.
Zhang Sanlang's mother ignored him. The waiter, under her gaze, said, "Of course it's real. If you don't want the melon seeds, you can also replace them with sugar, but the quantity will be smaller."
Looking at her shivering grandson, Zhang Sanlang's mother gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! I'll take the cotton-padded jacket I just tried on."
The cotton-padded jacket is warm and large enough to last for at least seven or eight years.
The five or six years the guy mentioned were just enough for the clothes to fit, and seven or eight years would at most make the arms and legs a little shorter, which was nothing for a farmer.
Seeing her son hurried over, Zhang Sanlang's mother said with finality, "We don't want the money your father and I spent on the fabric. We'll just use it to buy Xiaobao this cotton-padded jacket."
"Xiaobao is still so young. If anything goes wrong, we won't be able to regret it. Your father and I still have clothes to wear. There's no need to buy new clothes."
The clerk said as he helped the other person pack the clothes, "The old lady is right. If I really get sick, the medicine will cost more than this."
"Madam, the dress you tried on earlier was for a customer and might be a little dirty. I'll get you a clean one."
"Do you want melon seeds or candy?"
There are more melon seeds, so the whole family can try them, "melon seeds."
These melon seeds are packaged in advance, and the guy just hands them to the other party.
"If you have any problems with this coat within seven days, you can return it or exchange it at any time. Of course, it must be a problem with the coat itself, not caused by you. If you damage it yourself, our store will not be responsible."
Zhang Sanlang's mother looked at the new cotton-padded jacket and touched it. It felt similar to the previous one and was about the same weight.
I originally wanted to get the other person's clothes dirty, so I just bought them.
New clothes are definitely better.
She took out the clothes and called her grandson who was still warming himself by the fire, "Xiaobao, come here and put on your clothes."
The child ran up happily, opened his arms and put on the cotton coat.
"Is it warm?"
The child nodded happily at his grandma and daddy.
“So comfortable!”
…
An Jingzhi watched the entire process, then watched for a while longer, then left when no one else was around.
Gouzi, standing by, praised him servilely, "Master, your method is really good. After you changed the clothes to fit children, more people came in to buy them."
"I want you to talk more." An Jingzhi smiled slightly.
After a winter, the reputation of Dong's clothing shop gradually spread among the people.
The price is indeed a bit expensive, but the cotton-padded clothes you buy can be worn for several years, and many people buy them for their children.
In addition, the shop assistants at Dong's Garment Store were polite, so even if they tried on clothes but didn't buy anything, they wouldn't say anything bad to them.
You don’t have to pay for it if it gets dirty. Some people just wanted to watch the fun, but after looking around, they bought something to take home.
Time passed quickly, the weather gradually warmed up, and greenery gradually covered the entire earth.
Recalling the memories of the previous owner, the little emperor should have already started his incognito visits at this point in time.
Whenever he went to a place, he would punish a few corrupt officials. That was why people heard about his incognito visits.
An Jingzhi learned from several traveling merchants that billiards had spread to the provincial capital.
Now everything is ready, he just needs to spread out the things and attract people.
One morning, he sent someone to invite a prominent billiard businessman from Zeyun County.
If it was for the sake of his scumbag father, these people would ignore him, but for the sake of An Jingzhi, they still gave him this face.
