at last.
Qian Duoduo and Qian Jianye each drank a bowl of mutton soup and half a meat pie, and started shopping contentedly.
Some of these stalls are crowded, making others envious, while others are empty.
They all sell clothes, and perhaps they all import their goods from the same city. It all depends on the vision of the stall owner.
Those with good taste can pick out good clothes and sell them out in no time. Those who don’t know much about clothes but still want to make a living from this business may lose everything and end up with the clothes in their hands.
"Haha, comrade, you really have good taste. This patterned silk scarf is very popular right now. I have sold over 500 of them. These are the last two. If you want them, I'll give them to you for five yuan."
Qian Duoduo had just picked up a handkerchief, but before he had time to look at it, the salesgirl said with a smile.
She smiled, looked at it, put it down, and then looked at the other things on her shelf.
This is the only stall selling bags.
There are canvas bags and leather bags, both for men and women, as well as backpacks for students, some women's scarves, and men's belts.
The female boss was not annoyed when she saw Qian Duoduo put down her scarf. She looked at her looking at the schoolbag, rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "If you don't like scarves, you can look at our other things. Take a look at the children's schoolbags. This blue one is just right for your child. It's very popular all over the country." As she said that, she took out a dark blue backpack and handed it to Qian Duoduo.
Qian Duoduo felt the quality and thought the style was good, so he asked, "How much is it?"
"Since you're my first customer today, I'll give you eighteen."
"I want something else, just give me your lowest price."
The female boss hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "How about this? You choose first, and then I'll reduce the overall size for you. What do you think?"
Qian Duoduo nodded and chose a pure white cowhide handbag, which was very similar to the bag Princess Diana wore decades later, and also chose a light brown large tote bag.
"Haha, comrade, you have really good taste. These two bags are made of top-grain cowhide, and were custom-made by a famous master craftsman in Shanghai. The metal doesn't fade, but... the price is a bit high."
At the end of her speech, the female boss's voice unconsciously lowered.
The truth is, these more than ten bags are a source of worry for her. She has already sold them at cost price, but people are still scared away when they hear the price.
"How much money?"
"Let me be honest with you. These bags are not selling well. I've already made back my money by selling them at cost. I'll give you 60 each. What do you think?"
Qian Duoduo flipped through it and hesitated, "I like it very much, but it's too expensive."
The female boss was upset. "Then I'll give you a cowhide wallet, okay?"
Qian Duoduo curled her lips and said, "Give me two, the two dark brown ones, just right for my husband and I as a couple."
The female boss sighed, her smile faded, and she looked like she was crying. "I'm selling these two wallets for twenty-five, and two of them are fifty."
"Shall I choose a few more belts and backpacks?"
In the end, Qian Duoduo chose three dark blue backpacks, the two women's bags she wanted, four men's belts, and two women's belts.
After bargaining, I saved twenty yuan and got two wallets as gifts.
Qian Youjin and Qian Jianye still don't have a belt, and their pants are tied with cloth strips. I bought one for the two of them and also gave one to my third uncle Qian Youliang.
Fu Junmo must have all three.
She handed one of the blue schoolbags to Fu Yihan, "Xiaohan, this is for you. You have too many books in your current cross-body bag, and it's uncomfortable to carry."
"Uncle San, give these two to Xiao Sen and the others."
Qian Youjin was holding the belt in his hand at this time, and said embarrassedly: "Why did you buy them such expensive schoolbags? Those two brats don't even study hard. It's a waste to use such a good schoolbag."
"Haha, how could that be? Xiao Sen always ranks among the top three in the class in every exam."
After a few people walked around, Qian Duoduo had a general idea of what was going on, so he went home early.
When she got home, she ran to the house of Qian Youjin and Qian Youliang.
"Dad, Uncle San, how's the night market going today?"
"Haha, it's pretty good. The capital is still the best."
"It's good, and the clothes are really nice, but they're too expensive. I can't even buy them a piece of clothing even if I work in the village for a whole year."
Qian Duoduo said with a smile: "So we have to make more money."
Qian Youjin looked at her suspiciously, "Duoduo, why are you not sleeping so late? What are you thinking?"
Qian Duoduo nodded. "Here's what I think. If Third Uncle also wants to stay in Beijing, then after Third Aunt comes, he can set up a stall in Xidan to sell clothes. Third Aunt has a good mouth, so selling clothes will definitely be a good option for her."
Qian Youliang: "She's a rural woman who just graduated from elementary school. What does she know?"
"She can learn anything. Besides, Third Aunt is smart, eloquent, and courageous. Are you worried about not being able to sell anything?"
Qian Youliang was very tempted, but he was afraid that he would not be able to find a daughter-in-law and would lose money.
"It will definitely cost a lot of money to get the goods. If I can't sell them, won't I lose a lot of money?"
Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Uncle San, everything you do has risks. It's just like you made a cabinet and left it at home for half a year. If you want to make money, you must take certain risks. Think about it carefully, or you can call Aunt San and ask."
Finally, he whispered, "It's easy to get a Beijing hukou now. If we work hard to buy an apartment, we can get it. Who knows, with a Beijing hukou, Xiao Sen and the others might become Beijing residents in the future..."
Qian Youliang swallowed his saliva, his eyes full of longing.
People from Beijing...
