Until the two came to the East Market with the big bag of clothes, Zhao'er had already found a place to set up a stall, and Jiang Wu was still a little bit unable to react.
On the huge mat, piled with all kinds of clothes, there are men and women, old and young. Not only that, Zhao'er also borrowed one side of the mule car, and used a few rough clothes hangers to hold up a few clothes and hang them on the wall of the car.
This posture alone has attracted the attention of many people. At this time, Zhao'er shouted in a loud but crisp voice: "Selling clothes, you look good at cheap and high-quality clothes. Come and see. Take a look at it, don't miss it when you pass by. I don't want you one or two, and I don't want you two, all clothes are 60 yuan, one piece is 60 yuan, and three pieces are only 150 yuan."
Hearing this loud and rhythmic hawking, everyone in the market looked over.
I saw that the stall was full of colorful clothes, black, blue, green, red, everything. This clothes is like the face of that person, you can tell at a glance whether it is good-looking or not.
The fabric was shiny, the red was so conspicuous, the green was so fresh, and the blue was so refreshing; some of them were firm and heavy at a glance. Then I looked up at the clothes hanging on the wall of the car. There were different patterns, and the styles were all popular.
Sixty
Sixty wen is enough to pull a few feet of cloth, and I have to work hard to do it myself.
Immediately, several middle-aged women rushed forward.
"Little brother, do you sell clothes for 60 cents a piece?"
Zhao'er nodded with a smile: "These shirts are 60 cents a piece, and underwear is 60 cents a set. As for this pile of winter clothes, it's a little more expensive, 150 cents a piece, but you can take a look Looking at the texture of this style, you will definitely not be at a loss when you buy it back."
As soon as they heard this, a few quick-witted women immediately bent down and picked up the clothes that they had longed for.
Some opened it up and looked at it, and the color of joy flowed in words. Others show regret, because it is not obvious from a distance, but the material is dazzling, but they are worn by men.
But there are many colors that are women's homes at first glance, and most of them are not missed. Besides, how could there be no man in the family at this age, and it is necessary to buy it back for the head of the family.
With one in their hands, they bent over and began to dig in the pile of clothes.
Pick up one and see, if it doesn't fit, throw it away.
Picked up another one, not bad, hurriedly grabbed it in my hand.
There are two others who liked one, but unfortunately they were not as quick as the other, and they were caught in the hands of the other. The person who didn't catch it just stared at the side intentionally or unintentionally, waiting for the other party to choose a more suitable one, so that he could give this one to himself.
The mood of digging treasures is undoubtedly pleasant, because you have no idea what else is waiting for you below. Full of novelty, joy, anticipation, and even excitement, an involuntary sense of blood swelling made several women red-eyed.
And with the movements of these few people, more people have gathered around, most of them are women. As soon as they approached, it seemed as if they had entered a treasure mountain, and they could no longer look away.
"This is appropriate."
"This one is just right for the boss!"
"Brother Jiang Wu, you are watching from the side, and I will greet you inside." Zhao'er said.
Jiang Wu nodded, and the two divided their work.
Soon someone had chosen, with an unfinished expression on their face: "Little brother, can't your clothes be cheaper?"
Zhao'er shook his head, with a hint of pain on his face: "You know the goods at first glance, it's not a loss to buy it back at this price, and you must have a good idea. I won't say more, it can't be cheap, it's selling at a loss. , I'm going to cry at a loss if it's cheaper."
"You little brother is exaggerating, how can you cry."
A woman next to her interjected: "That's right, you are cheaper, our family picks a few pieces."
As she spoke, she winked to the side, and suddenly several women who didn't know each other nodded their heads and said, "Yes, yes, let's buy so much at once, don't give a few big money?"
Zhao'er showed a bitter look on his face: "I'm not afraid that sisters-in-law will know that we are not specializing in selling ready-to-wear clothes, but there are too many clothes in the pawnshop, and there is really no place to put them, so we will sell them at a loss. Come out to send pulp and wash the pulp to launder a sum of money, and I received another sum of money before, not to mention the expenses of our people. It is really indispensable, and it is indispensable. "
"No wonder I said that clothes made of this material are sold so cheaply." A woman missed her mouth.
Zhao'er immediately said: "My sister-in-law looks like a person with discernment! You should know that as long as the clothes that can go into the pawnshop are not cheap, look at the quality and quality, and if I say more, I will say that my mother-in-law sells melons and knows the goods. I don't need to say more."
Nowadays, there is no saying that other people's old clothes cannot be worn, especially for these ordinary people and even rural people, it is decent to wear unpatched clothes. This kind of material and style, many people have never worn in their whole life, if they can buy it cheaply, they will have a good dress for visiting relatives during the New Years and festivals in the future.
Thinking of this, someone came forward to give the money.
"You little brother can really say, that's all, I want these two."
"Sister-in-law won't pick one more piece? One piece is 60 bucks, two pieces are 120 bucks, and three pieces are only 150 bucks. Thirty bucks buys a good dress, I won't remind her if it's not that person. "
"Hey, you little brother! It's true, I'll pick again."
In this way, most of the three of you and me are three of them bought. This is the mentality of people, a little cheap is like picking up something.
Soon the clothes on the stall were looted, and there were only a few pieces left, and there were still people standing beside them asking if there were any more.
"Yes, of course, wait."
A large package of clothes was sold in just over an hour, and the rest were all inconspicuous.
Zhao'er did not continue to sell, but quickly closed the stall, and got into the car with Jiang Wu and left.
"Why don't you continue to sell the rest?"
"Those I didn't plan to sell here at all, but they are placed in one place to set off one or two. Let's pull the rest of these clothes to the village to sell."
Jiang Wu didn't know at first, but he quickly realized what Zhao'er meant.
Good flowers must be matched with green leaves, and good horns should be supported by everyone. Without green leaves, how can the flowers appear bright and beautiful.
"You don't know how long your brain is."
Zhao'er was not ambiguous, and smiled heartily: "My father raised me."
Before she finished speaking, a haze flashed across her brows. Jiang Wu didn't dare to say anything more, changed the subject and asked which village she planned to go to.
The two went to the villages where they usually received vegetables.
Because he was familiar with the villagers, the mule cart drove into the village without being driven away.
Generally, small villages like this have wheat fields, which are used for drying and threshing the grain during the autumn harvest. Most of them are located at the entrance of the village or in the center of the village.
Jiang Wu's mule cart stopped at the wheat field in the center of the village.
Zhao'er was fully prepared, and when he got to the ground, he spread out the stall, then took out a broken gong from the carriage and began to beat it.
After a while, many villagers gathered.
Come and take a look, the faces are familiar, and some of them are familiar.
A familiar villager asked, "What's the matter? Are you not accepting food today?"
"I want to receive food, you have to have something for me." Zhao'er said with a smile.
As soon as the words were spoken, many people laughed.
Not to mention, at this time, every household can't get a meal, and all they eat are hidden in the cellar last autumn, or dried vegetables, pickles and so on. We have to wait until the weather is warm before we can sell vegetables.
"Okay, okay, let's be serious, I won't accept vegetables today, I'll sell things. Look, that's all, don't say I don't take care of the fellow villagers, I specially found a way to get them back from the county. These thirty fen One piece, these 20 wen, as for these 80 wen winter clothes, I quickly picked them up, and I will go to the next village later."
"Selling clothes? Lucky little brother, your name is right, you can sell anything."
Some villagers joked with Zhao'er, and she was not ambiguous. There was a lot of back and forth, and there was laughter in the wheat field.
At the same time that the men were chatting with the lucky little brother, the women were all choosing among the clothes.
The people in the clothes town disliked them, but it didn't mean that the villagers disliked them.
Country people usually wear clothes made of coarse cloth, fine cotton cloth is good clothes, not to mention that there is some silk and satin in it, but it is a little old.
But it was also a satin garment in the old days, still unpatched.
"Twenty cents is expensive, it's cheaper."
"Don't bargain with me. If you don't have it, you will lose money. If you buy it, you will never lose money. I can't fool anyone."
"I don't have enough money in this spring, can I replace it with something?" someone asked.
"Others can't do it, the fellows will definitely do. No living things, just dead things, eggs, and grain will do, and they will be at the price you usually take out."
Hearing this, many women immediately showed a bit of joy, and hurriedly turned their heads and went home.
Not long after, either with grain or with egg baskets.
Discounts depending on the type of food. As for eggs, the villagers will sell them for two cents apiece when they get them in the town, but no one runs to the town to sell a few eggs. Some people who collect eggs come to buy them for one cent or three cents. Two, Zhao'er has also received them before, and the prices are all clear.
After half an hour, Zhao'er set off on the road to the next village with two bags of grain and eggs.
When the sun sets, all the clothes are sold out, but Zhao'er and Jiang Wu return with a full load.
A mule cart was parked on the village trail, and Zhao'er sat in the carriage and counted the money.
She is illiterate and has never learned arithmetic. She can count numbers within 100.
After counting the numbers several times, she pushed away the small pile of copper coins in front of her in discouragement and said, "No more, no more!"
Jiang Wu smiled in front: "I'll count for you later."
"You can't even count, don't think I don't know!" Zhao'er said.
Jiang Wu immediately coughed a few times in embarrassment.
Immediately, she regained her spirits, piled up the money scattered on the ground into a pile, and then divided 20% by visual inspection.
"Okay, these are for you, and half of the grain and eggs are for you."
"Said 20%, eggs and food are not considered money?"
"That's not money, just treat it as my reward for Daqing. In addition, the rest of the grain and eggs should be put at your house first, and I will take them to the town tomorrow to sell. By the way, I have to go there again. County."
"Then I'll pick you up tomorrow morning."
"Row."
As he was talking, he saw the city wall of Huyang Town from a distance.
Zhao'er's eyes lit up and said, "Let's go to the town again, and I'll give Ting'er some eggs."
Jiang Wu tightened his hand on the reins and said with a smile, "Okay, it's still early, it's not too late to rush back."
So, after a busy afternoon, Xue Tingyan just returned to the house and received a small basket of eggs.
It was given by the girl from before.
