Those who want to buy quilts now are probably like Zhao Yun'er, who are in a hurry to use them at home.
Also, on weekdays, when there is a wedding event at home, a slightly wealthier family will buy a few new quilts for their daughter's dowry.
Except in winter, this is how the business in stores buying quilts comes about.
After Zhao Yun'er entered the house, an old woman in her fifties or sixties came over. She walked up and asked Zhao Yun'er with a smile if she wanted to buy a quilt.
"Mother-in-law, what's the price of the quilts here?" Zhao Yun'er asked.
The old woman laughed and said, "Little girl, there are only three stores selling quilts in Yangcheng. Don't worry, my store has the cheapest price. If you don't believe me, you can go to the other two and ask about the price."
As the old woman spoke, she took Zhao Yun'er to look at her quilt, pointed at the quilt and said to Zhao Yun'er, "These quilts are all new. They are made of cotton that was just harvested this year. They are warm. They cost twenty-two cents per pound. This is The side is made of last year's cotton, which costs twenty cents per pound. Look, girl, do you want to buy this year's new quilt, or last year's?"
Zhao Yun'er stared at the quilts for a while. They were made at different times, but they were all new.
The white quilt is very warm at first glance.
Zhao Yun'er heard what the old lady said and felt that she was doing business with integrity. After all, if you don’t say it out loud, who knows whether it was done this year or last year.
A pound of quilt costs so much. There are thick and thin quilts here, five pounds, seven pounds, and ten pounds.
Zhao Yun'er planned to buy three beds to take home, with a bed underneath and a thick bed on top, and then buy a thin bed. When the weather gets hotter, she can replace the thick bed with a thin one.
For cushioning, a quilt weighing seven kilograms is enough, one thick and thin, which adds up to a total of twenty-two kilograms.
"Mother-in-law, please bring me this year's new quilt. I want this, this, and this." Zhao Yuner pointed at the quilt.
The old woman smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll get it for you."
The old woman folded the three quilts and placed them neatly, and then tied them together with a thick rope.
"Girl, this is fine. Can you lift it?"
The old woman asked with some concern when she saw that Zhao Yun'er was so thin and didn't look like someone who could lift things.
Zhao Yun'er lifted it. Twenty-two pounds was still not too heavy for her. She could carry it with one hand.
"You can lift it, mother-in-law, you don't have to worry about me."
The old woman nodded, "That's good, girl, let's settle the money. This new quilt costs twenty-two cents per catty, a total of twenty-two catties, so it's four hundred and eighty-four cents. Girl, you bought three beds at once. , I will charge you four hundred and sixty yuan."
It's twenty-four cents cheaper, which is considered a big discount.
When Zhao Yun'er was about to say thank you, a woman came out of the inner room and cursed at the old woman, "You damn old woman, I just went to the yard and pooped, let you see, this is how you do business." Yes, I suddenly lost twenty-four cents. How can we still open this store? I really thought the money just flew in... "
The woman cursed a lot of unpleasant words, and the old woman stood in the corner, not daring to speak, a little trembling.
Zhao Yun'er took a look at the woman who came here. She was in her thirties or forties, with a sharp and mean look. Apparently she is this old woman's daughter-in-law.
