Chapter 111: Booming Business
In the evening.
Rong Mei took Liu Rong to look at houses, and finally chose the short and old house in the east of the city.
The house has two rooms, neither of which is big. One is just the right size for a bedroom and the other can be used as a living room. As for the kitchen, it is a simple canopy built in the outer room. It is fine on sunny days, but it will definitely leak if it rains.
However, Liu Rong is in the store during the day and comes back after dinner at night, so it doesn’t matter whether there is a kitchen or not.
As for the store, Rong Mei also planned a kitchen and a toilet when she was decorating and designing it, but they were not big.
It's okay to cook something occasionally in the store, but stir-frying is definitely not allowed. After a long time, the smell of oil smoke will get on your clothes.
Although there is no kitchen here, there is an old-fashioned flush toilet in the yard, which is convenient when you get up at night. At least you don’t have to go to the public toilet a long way.
In general, the environment is average, but it is close to clothing stores.
There are also two other families living next to each other, both of whom set up stalls to do business in the city. One sells breakfast at Dongjiekou, and the other sells pork in the vegetable market.
None of them live alone. They all have families with them, both old and young, so it is relatively safer.
The house was finalized, and the next day Rong Mei went to Uncle Li to pay the rent.
Eight dollars a month. Rong Mei didn't know if this was the market price, and she didn't try to find out. Given Uncle Li's personality, he would only charge less rent, but never more.
Rong Mei paid six months' rent in one lump sum.
After leaving Uncle Li's place, Rong Mei went straight to the market to buy bedding and daily necessities for Liu Rong.
After she had bought all the things, she came back to the store and asked Liu Rong to go back and clean the place.
There was no way, she was not very good at this, so she came to look after the store.
By the afternoon, Liu Rong had gotten everything ready and was ready to move in.
After settling Liu Rong, Rong Mei also returned to the family quarters and did not come for two consecutive days. She only came to help on the opening day of the 27th.
Opening day.
Many sisters-in-law in the compound who had heard about it came to show their support.
Regardless of whether you buy it or not, you have to come and show your support.
Therefore, the place was very crowded. The more people there were, the more they liked to squeeze in. The two fitting rooms were never empty, with people coming in and out, one after another.
Liu Rong was so busy just handling the cashier that she was dizzy. Business was many times better than during the two days of trial operation.
I'm not against hiring people.
If Rong Mei doesn't come in the future, she will be alone in the store, greeting customers, doing the cashiering, and ironing clothes. How can she handle it?
Once people have tasted something sweet, they will always forget the pain of the past.
Is there anything that can make people happier than making money?
Naturally, most of the customers who sell women's clothing are female. Even if Zhou Nanxu is not at work today, he would be embarrassed to come in and help.
He stood outside the window at the door and looked out. With his height, he could see everything in the store without even standing on a stool.
I didn’t look at anything else, mainly because I was afraid that someone would take advantage of the chaos and steal the clothes without paying.
The three of them didn't even have time to eat lunch.
In the afternoon, Chen Chunlan and Wu Xiujuan also came together.
As soon as she entered the room, Chen Chunlan exclaimed to Wu Xiujuan, "Oh my god, this place is so well decorated. I'm in the city every day, and this is my first time back after decorating it."
"Yes, this decoration is better than that of the department store."
This was also Wu Xiujuan's first time here. She found everything in the store extremely novel and her eyes were darting around from the moment she entered the store.
"Sister-in-law, you are here. Please feel free to look around. I..." Rong Mei naturally saw the two people coming in and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
"Don't worry about us, just go and do your own thing, we'll choose by ourselves." Before Rong Mei could finish her words, Chen Chunlan waved her hand to interrupt her.
Rong Mei smiled and said, "Okay, take your time to look around." She then went to serve other customers.
After looking at the decoration, Chen Chunlan and Wu Xiujuan started looking at clothes.
After looking at several pieces in succession, Wu Xiujuan whispered to Chen Chunlan, "Oh my god, these clothes are good, but they are so expensive."
Any item you touch costs dozens of dollars.
To be honest, Wu Xiujuan was really reluctant to spend dozens of dollars to buy a piece of clothing, not to mention that a set would cost hundreds of dollars.
Chen Chunlan picked up a piece of clothing and tried it on herself, then hung it back, replying to Wu Xiujuan, "Sister, your store is decorated so high-end, you can't sell cheap goods."
"I know." Wu Xiujuan sighed.
But she was envious of those customers who took their clothes and went to check out without hesitation. She pulled Chen Chunlan's arm and sighed, "Chunlan, you see, these working-class people are really good. They buy such expensive clothes without blinking an eye."
If it were in the past, Chen Chunlan would definitely have the same feelings as Wu Xiujuan.
But now, she is still willing to buy a piece of clothing.
However, the reason why she is where she is today is inseparable from Rong Mei's support for her, which gave her the confidence to develop her own career.
So today I have to buy a set of clothes to support my sister's career.
Chen Chunlan didn't answer, but picked up a piece of clothing and asked Wu Xiujuan, "Xiujuan, do you think this color looks good on me? Will it make my skin look darker?"
Wu Xiujuan glanced at the white dress in Chen Chunlan's hand and said, "No, this white dress will definitely look good on you, but it is not suitable for you to work in it, and......"
She was just about to say that the dress was seventy-nine pieces.
Chen Chunlan took the clothes off the hanger and said, "Then I'll try it on."
After saying that, he took the clothes and went to the fitting room and lined up.
Wu Xiujuan immediately followed and looked at Chen Chunlan in surprise, "No, do you really want to buy it?"
"Of course I have to buy some. We're here to buy clothes." Chen Chunlan held the clothes in her hands, stood on tiptoe to count the number of people in front of her, and answered Wu Xiujuan's questions as a matter of course.
He took another look at the jeans hanging on Wu Xiujuan's right hand side and pointed at them, "Xiujuan, do you see any jeans that I can wear? Bring me a pair so I can try them on. I think they're quite suitable for my clothes."
"Oh." Wu Xiujuan was stunned for a long time before she reacted. She pursed her lips and turned around to find the jeans that Chen Chunlan wanted.
Business here is booming and there is laughter and joy.
Over there, in the Zhou family in Ertuozi Village far away in Harbin, the atmosphere was tense.
With loud bangs and clangs, Luo Xiuxiu smashed almost everything in the house that could be thrown, but it seemed that she still couldn't relieve the anger in her heart.
His eyes were burning with anger as he pointed at Zhou Zhengfu who was holding Zhou Dabao opposite him.
"Zhou Zhengfu, you must make it clear to me today. Do you still want to live a good life with me? Look at your dark face. What's the expression on it? If you still want to live a good life with me, then you must listen to me on this matter!"
