Sister-in-law Xu was also very surprised when she saw Xu Yin bringing back five pieces of cloth.
"Yinyin, have you found the wholesale market?"
"Well, in the north of the city, the road is a bit far and requires two transfers." Xu Yin told her sister-in-law the route.
Then I took out all today’s spoils and showed them to my sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law Xu was surprised: "So much? How much does it cost?"
When Xu Yin told the price, Sister-in-law Xu was so surprised that her jaw dropped to the ground: "Is this so cheap?"
Xu Yin laughed: "Sister-in-law, I had the same reaction as you, as if I had picked up money. But if you think about it carefully, department store counters require rent, and employees require wages. If the prices are not higher, what do they earn? We want
I opened a store to do business, so I thought it was cost-effective to buy more at once. But if I just made a skirt for myself, why would I need ten meters? Besides, I saw that the soft yarn colors in the wholesale market were a bit lacking. Except for lake blue and red, the others were not.
Black is gray. I guess department stores have priority in purchasing goods from cloth factories. Small quantities and good-looking designs and colors are picked out by them in advance, and the rest are put into the wholesale market."
After Xu Yin made this analysis, Sister-in-law Xu also calmed down.
I felt so hot just now that I almost wanted to take all the money at home and go straight to the wholesale market to buy Rouzi yarn.
There is also a special price of 30 meters of foreign cloth, which only costs 20 yuan.
Despite the ridiculous price difference of Rouzi Yarn, I am much calmer than before, but my hands are still shaking a little.
I have never been to the wholesale fabric market before, so I didn’t know the wholesale price was so cheap.
The military wives from the neighbors formed a team to see the five pieces of cloth that Xu Yin brought back.
Many people backed off after learning that the fabric was on sale with some flaws, but some also asked about the price:
"Sister-in-law, my eldest son will start elementary school in September, and I'm just trying to make him some new clothes. If you sell the cloth, I won't have to go to the city."
Sister-in-law Xu had already discussed it with her sister-in-law and immediately quoted a price.
When everyone heard that it was only $1.3, those who had initially backed down came back.
After all, when department stores deal with defective fabrics, they grab them, and the cheapest ones are only 1.5 yuan. The designs and colors are leftovers selected by in-house staff, and they are far less beautiful than these few pieces.
So, you are three meters away, and I am five meters away from you.
I didn't plan to buy it, but I couldn't help but the price was cheap, so I took it a few meters away.
In the end, these five pieces of defective cloth were internally digested by the family members in the building before the tailor shop opened.
The net profit from five pieces of cloth was ninety-five. Sister-in-law Xu couldn't believe it.
Xu Yin generously divided her into fifty pieces.
Sister-in-law Xu waved it off. She did nothing at all except quote the price to the family.
"Sister-in-law, take it! If I didn't have the fifty yuan you gave me, I wouldn't necessarily go to the north of the city to wholesale the hair."
Xu Yin pushed the money into her hand.
"This is too much! I have made more money than I invested."
"It will get better and better in the future."
I spent half a day buying and selling and made dozens or hundreds of dollars. It's a pity that the special price of cloth is not available every day, otherwise Sister-in-law Xu would be tempted to want to do the cloth business.
However, thinking that she still had a few pieces of regular-priced cloth in her hand, especially the soft yarn, which was purchased at such a cheap price, she discussed with her sister-in-law that before the tailor shop opened, she would go to the north of the city to buy some other designs and colors to sell.
She believed that with these soft yarns in charge, the tailor shop's business would be booming.
In the next few days, both my aunt and sister-in-law were very busy.
Sister-in-law Xu was preparing for the opening of the tailor shop, and Xu Yin got up early and took the bus to the city to set up a street stall.
She found a square with relatively large traffic, and there were many people setting up street stalls like her.
She spread a blue-printed coarse cloth on the ground, and placed mountain products such as mushrooms, fungus, and dried bamboo shoots on the left; kelp, shrimp, seaweed and other seafood on the right; and placed several jars of canned fruits and ancient brown sugar in the middle.
Canned goods and brown sugar are the largest stocks in the system warehouse besides rice, flour, grains and oils. You don’t need much for giving as favors and gifts, so you can mix some with them and sell them to get some cash.
On the first day, there were more people watching than buying.
What I bought the most at first was neither seafood nor mountain products, but brown sugar and canned fruits.
There are two hospitals not far from the square. Families of patients often come here to buy fresh food. Brown sugar and canned food are popular souvenirs for visiting patients.
But gradually, everyone's attention fell on mountain products and seafood.
Tongcheng is located in a plain. In addition to growing food, country people also raise chickens, ducks, vegetables, and catch river fresh food to sell in the city. Mountain products, seafood and the like are really uncommon.
It's rare to see someone setting up a stall to sell this. Regardless of whether they are serious about buying it, they will curiously ask the price.
"What is this? Kelp? The price is quite cheap, but the question is how to eat it?"
Many people didn't know kelp, but Xu Yin taught them how to eat it, so they weighed some and went back to stew pork ribs.
Mushrooms, fungus, dried bamboo shoots and other mountain products are quite popular, but before nine o'clock, they are sold out.
Dictyophora and russula are highly priced and no one is patronizing them for the time being.
Xu Yin was not in a hurry, so she took it back to her sister-in-law to make soup if she couldn't sell it.
On the first day of closing the stall, Xu Yin made a small profit of fifty after deducting costs.
When I went back, I brought a crispy-skinned roast duck, and asked my sister-in-law to steam a dozen sheets of dough that were almost as thin as cicada wings, cut two shredded cucumbers and green onions, mixed a dish of secret sauce, and taught everyone how to eat sliced duck.
Doudou's mouth was filled with oil. After dinner, Doudou went out to eat. He couldn't wait to share the deliciousness of the duck with his friends. Soon, there were sounds in the corridor of various skinned boys being beaten.
Xu Yin: "..." She really didn't want to stir up trouble.
The next day, before she spread out the burlap and put out the wild products and dried seafood, she was surrounded by nearby residents.
"Little boss, do you still have the kelp from yesterday? I want two kilograms, some dried shrimps, some dried bamboo shoots, and some mushrooms. Can it be cheaper if I buy so much?"
"Little boss, I also want two kilograms of kelp, and weigh half a kilogram of drunken crabs for me."
"Little boss, do you still have the mud snails from yesterday? Is there any bigger ones? I'll give them to others. And how do you eat these dried razor clams? Can you make soup or stir-fry? That's good, here are two pounds."
"Little boss, how do you sell these red mushrooms?"
"Little boss,..."
Xu Yin was a little confused: "..."
what happened?
It turned out that someone who bought mountain products and dried seafood at her stall yesterday made soup that night and found it extremely delicious.
I thought that these things are usually hard to come by, so I might as well stock up on them. Anyway, they are either dry goods or pickled goods, which will last a long time. So I got up early in the morning and came here to wait for them.
These old customers are living advertisements, inspiring other passers-by to follow suit and start buying.
The other vendors were very excited to see it.
After only one day here, it has become the most popular stall in the city center square. Who wouldn’t be jealous?
But what can be done? They have unique products in the entire square, and even trying to cut prices to grab business doesn't work.
Fortunately, the quantity of mountain products and dried seafood that this girl brought was limited, and they were sold out on the fourth day. If things continued like this, their business would definitely be affected.
