"Girl, there are snakeskin bags and sacks for sale at the market today. I have to buy some. I don't have many at home, so I don't have enough.
You have to prepare it, so you can use it for next autumn’s harvest.”
"Okay, I really didn't expect that."
The couple squeezed into the crowd and said, "Fellow, how much does this sack cost?"
"One hair, even a snakeskin bag is one hair."
“Is it cheaper for me if I buy more?”
"How much to buy?"
"Thirty snakeskin bags, thirty sacks."
After Hu Chunhua finished speaking, Su Yuanyuan whispered beside her, "Aunt, it's not enough. I think I have to buy so much."
"Then the same fifty? How much is the cheapest?"
"Nine points."
"No, it's too expensive. Seven cents, seven cents each."
"No. Seven points is too little."
"Others sell them for eight cents each. Besides, we still buy so many. You have to sell these one hundred for as long as you want. If you sell more, you can still make money."
"Seven and five centimeters."
"It's just seven points, I really don't want to give you less."
The few people picking bags next to me also stopped.
The seller saw that this was not going to work. "It's 70% off, but you have to buy at least 100 pieces." A collection means selling more than 100 pieces, so if a family only buys 100 pieces, they will still make money.
It’s also worry-free.
Hu Chunhua didn't choose either, he simply took two bundles of sacks and a bundle of snakeskin bags.
Su Yuanyuan gave her seven yuan. Now the couple's boxes were full again.
"I'm talking about selling bags. If I buy ten, you can sell them to me for seven cents each, right?"
"No, it must be a hundred. If it's less than this number, the price will definitely not work. It's still a dime each.
For seven cents a piece, I earn two cents."
As a result, several people gathered around. He wanted ten, and he wanted twenty. In the end, there was still twenty bags missing. The woman who had just negotiated the price found another woman, and finally the seven people gathered together a hundred bags.
After they all left, the seller smiled, "That's great. Otherwise, the price would be eight cents a piece." Although he knew that the price of the bag was one penny less, it was only two hundred bags, and he couldn't usually buy so many. This was better than the price per bag.
I made more money this time.
"Girl, aunt will give you money later."
"I am not in a hurry."
"Let's go find Peilin first and let him look at everything."
Su Yuanyuan saw someone selling wooden basins and barrels again. But she couldn't buy them now because her hands were full.
Finally I found Yang Peilin in the middle.
"Pailin, these are the things I bought. There are too many. Leave them here for you to look at. I'll go look around and come back to get them."
"It's okay. I pushed the cart here and I can push it back."
"Let's talk about it then. By the way, how many have you sold?"
"There are still more than ten kilograms left and I have finished buying it."
"Okay, I bought more than seven kilograms of cotton at your house this morning. My third aunt said that your uncle has also come to sell cloth. Do you know where it is?"
"It's right in front. Sister-in-law, do you want to buy some cloth?"
"Well, this girl has nothing. It's about to snow now, so she has to make quilts anyway. Okay, I'll go find your uncle."
Only then did Su Yuanyuan call her uncle.
Yang Peilin looked at this little girl and knew that she had gotten money. In fact, it was the best thing to prepare these things.
"Go ahead, just say my name. My uncle brought a lot of cloth today. I even saw some dyed ones."
Su Yuanyuan thought that she must not use dyed cloth, but just white cotton, which would be comfortable to cover.
"Auntie, is that a grain grate?"
"Yes, you don't have a pillow yet. Just buy one pound when you come back and it will be enough."
In her previous life, Su Yuanyuan loved to sleep on Gu Gate's pillows. Even after she got rich, she also used Gu Gate's pillows. She felt so comfortable.
After walking a few meters, I saw a cloth seller.
Hu Chunhua went over and said, "Fellow, are you Aunt Peilin?"
"Yes, you are?"
"I am your sister-in-law from Peilin Village. I came to buy cloth from you."
"Okay, I must give my sister-in-law a discount."
After hearing this, Hu Chunhua found it difficult to negotiate the price.
"His aunt, how much does this white cotton cloth cost per foot?"
"Sister-in-law, this sells for 30 cents. The dyed one is 35 cents per foot. If I sell it to my sister-in-law, it's 2 cents or 25 cents."
"Okay, give me a set of salutes. All of them are made of white cotton."
"Okay, the width of the mattress is three feet, and the quilt is seven feet long, but the width is five feet. You need two pieces. The mattress is six feet, one width is enough, and you can pull out one foot.
Use it as a blanket.
Since the quilts do not need to be dyed and are made of white cotton, it will take forty feet."
"Okay, just pull it for me. I have the remaining cloth, pillow and quilt head."
While they were talking, Su Yuanyuan was looking through it and saw an old coarse cloth. It was the kind of pure cotton cloth that was used as a mat in her previous life.
"Uncle, how much does this material cost?"
"This one is cheap. I'll give you a dime per foot. This one is also three feet wide."
"Auntie, I want to make a quilt cover. The ones made of white cotton are so dirty. Using this cover can keep it clean on the outside. I can also use this as a mattress sheet."
"That's okay. This way you don't have to take out and wash the bedding all the time."
It took a while to pull the 40-foot piece of cloth, so the two of them continued to turn it over.
"Auntie, do you think this kind of dyeing will fade? Look, it's made of coarse cloth. If it doesn't fade, I want to use this to make cotton-padded clothes and a blouse."
"The color must have faded. It's definitely not as good as the cloth from the textile factory, but it won't fade after soaking it overnight, and it doesn't look good that way."
"Mom, I just need to be strong."
"Okay, I'll just take this one. It won't look bad if I ask him later which one has faded."
Su Yuanyuan looks good in the ginger color.
In fact, the forty feet has been measured here, "Sister-in-law, this cotton has shrunk, I will leave two feet for you."
"Thank you so much, brother." He is really a real person.
The old coarse cloth here measured another forty-two feet.
"Brother, this kid wants to make cotton-padded clothes. Which of these dyes will not look ugly even if they fade?"
"Sister-in-law, let me tell you that I have a secret recipe for dyeing, and the fading is not serious. But this little girl chose this ginger color, but she can't help but get dirty."
"Give me six feet of ginger and seven feet of blue."
"This leaves you with 15 cents."
In the end, they gave me one foot more for both items, but they really didn't give me less.
"Sister-in-law, the two cents and one foot is eight dollars, and the one cent and one foot is seven dollars. Just give me one dollar and nine for these two types of dyed mud. The total is thirteen nine."
"Okay, less money is required."
"She's my aunt's sister-in-law from the village. This is nothing."
Su Yuanyuan took out fourteen yuan and was given ten cents in change.
"Brother, I'll leave this cloth with you first, and we two will go for a walk. Come back and get it."
"Okay, don't worry. I have a piece of cloth here to wrap it up."
Hu Chunhua thanked her again. The couple went to the market empty-handed again.
