Chapter 98: Getting a Bargain



Jiang Baige looked through the pile of cloths and found that only the floral cloth and the cotton and linen cloth were suitable for both her and Grandma Meng.

It must be said that the big sister who sells cloth is very experienced and can pick out clothes that are suitable for them at a glance.

She said, "I still want this! You can see how much cloth is enough to make two shirts, and then you can pull it according to your feeling."

Sister Fang smiled and said, "Great! I'll tear it for you, I promise not to waste any cloth."

Grandma Meng held up the cloth in her hand and said, "I want this one. Six feet is enough."

Sister Fang was tearing up the floral cloth. When she heard her words, she agreed in a loud voice.

"Okay! Auntie, wait a minute, I'll tear your granddaughter's off and then I'll tear her off with you."

Jiang Baige said, "Sister, give her some cloth to make two more clothes!"

"We also have Dacron cloth. We both want to make pants. You can watch and pull it."

When Sister Fang heard that she also wanted Dacron, she happily agreed.

Seeing that they had bought cloth for clothes and pants, he took out another piece of cloth from the side.

"Comrade, this piece of cloth is for making undergarments. It's very comfortable to wear. Would you like some?"

Jiang Baige took out the cloth coupons from her pocket and said awkwardly, "We don't have enough. Let's forget it! We'll come next time."

The tickets she had were only enough to buy cloth, underwear, etc., so she decided not to use them.

Now she is wearing sports shoes and underwear from the space. There are also plenty of underwear in the space, so there is no need to buy any.

What Grandma Meng was wearing was also forced upon her by her. Most old people like her don't wear anything underneath.

Seeing that she bought so much cloth, Sister Fang also wanted to give her some discounts.

She whispered in her ear, "Sister, I have some cloth that doesn't require a ticket. Do you want it?"

Since they said it in a low voice, it must be something that cannot be known to others. It must be their internal secret.

There are still many people shopping on this floor.

Jiang Baige looked around and nodded happily.

He whispered, "Yes! How much can I buy?"

Sister Fang thought about it and realized that all the cloth she had was used to make drapes for those who bought more, and there was no regulation on how much she could sell it for.

In the past, only acquaintances came to buy cloth, but now there are not many people buying cloth. She will sell it no matter how long it takes. Anyway, there will definitely be defective cloth when the cloth comes next month.

Sister Fang said, "Take a look first. If you like it, I'll give you as much as you want, ten cents a foot."

"But I have to tell you, if you don't like it anymore, I can't return it."

Grandma Meng heard them whispering and leaned over to listen.

Ten cents a foot, so cheap, she pulled Jiang Baige's sleeve.

Jiang Baige lowered her head to look, "What happened to Grandma Meng?"

Grandma Meng said, "Girl, buy more. Grandma wants this."

She thought that she would not buy the one that cost 20 cents, as only a fool would buy the one that cost 60 cents a foot.

Grandma Meng smiled and said, "Sister, I don't want my cloth anymore."

Jiang Baige had just noticed her little thought.

She said, "Grandma Meng, the cloth has been torn off, how can we not want it?"

Sister Fang beside her also laughed: "That's right! If you don't buy this cloth, why would I sell you cheap cloth?"

Jiang Baige was a little embarrassed, and the other sister smiled.

“Old lady, she is used to being frugal, so don’t blame her, big sister.

"My mother-in-law is like this too."

Sister Fang waved her hand, "Come, follow me inside.

He led them to the warehouse at the back and pointed to a pile of cloth in the corner.

"Look, the patterns here are all different. Pick the color you want."

What a huge pile of cloth, Jiang Baige wants it all. She will make a profit even if she takes it back to make bed sheets.

But there were only two of them, and even though they were generous, they couldn't take much with their hands, so in the end they only picked out four pieces of cloth.

One piece of floral cloth, one piece of blue cloth, one piece of gray cloth, and another piece whose colors were obviously polluted.

Colorful cloth often means that the silk has been dyed with other colors. If the color is removed, it will be a good cloth.

Jiang Baige felt that she was really smart, and the bleach in her space finally came in handy.

"Sister, I want all of these."

Sister Fang was a little surprised when she saw all the cloth. "How could you carry so many heavy things?"

Jiang Baige nodded confidently, "Don't underestimate me, I'm very strong."

She lifted a lot of weights during her previous training, and judging from what she's been doing these days of cutting grass for pigs, her strength and body have completely returned.

It's just four pieces of cloth, it can't possibly weigh a hundred pounds.

As long as it is less than 100 pounds, this is a small problem.

Seeing that there was another similar piece underneath, Jiang Baige pulled the cloth out from the bottom.

He dusted off the cloth and clapped his hands.

"And this one too, I want it."

Sister Fang wasn't sure whether she could take it away, but she was making money anyway, and since people had bought it, she had her own way.

He took out the abacus and started to count. "Sister, the total is 25 yuan. Do you want to take this much? Otherwise, I can reduce it for you."

Looking at the clothes they were wearing, I wasn’t sure if they had twenty-five dollars.

In those days, she worked in a supply and marketing cooperative and only earned ten yuan a month.

Buying some cloth would cost more than two months' salary, and she was afraid that the girl didn't have that much money.

If the other party doesn't want so much, she can say it first, and the girl won't feel embarrassed even if she doesn't buy it.

Jiang Baige took out a handful of money and dispelled Sister Fang's concerns.

He counted out twenty-five yuan and a few bills and handed them to Sister Fang.

"Sister, count it, twenty-five yuan, and five cloth coupons."

Sister Fang was delighted. She took the money, put a little saliva on her tongue with her fingers, and started counting the money.

When Jiang Baige took out the money from the space, the space was already passed.

Except for one big unity note, the remaining fifteen yuan were divided into denominations of one yuan, ten cents, twenty cents, one cent, two cents, and five cents.

All this money came from Kui Ye. She still had more than a thousand yuan of this money scattered around in her space.

She was only interested in big money, and she wanted to spend all the small amounts.

Anyway, it won't appreciate in value in the future, so it's just waste paper if you keep it.

The one, two, and five cents coins and various bills we have now will become just pieces of waste paper in a dozen years.

Sister Fang counted the money and put it back in her pocket.

I made so much money today and I feel particularly good.

"Sister, this cloth is hard to carry! I'll find some ropes and tie it up for you so it's easier for you to carry.

Jiang Baige hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, big sister."

Sister Fang bundled together the loose cloth she bought and the few pieces of inferior cloth for her.

Thinking that she still had to ask about the price of meat, Jiang Baige said, "Sister, can you put the cloth somewhere first? I have something else to do and will come back to get it later."

Sister Fang was busy tying the cloth while replying to her.

"Go ahead! I'll leave the cloth at the door for you, and you can come back and get it later."
