Back to 80s bride

Chapter 25 Clothing Business

The owner of the leather shoe shop agreed to come down, and when he turned his head, he pushed all the customers who came to the door to the back, and focused on rushing out as soon as possible.

Ma Chaoyue and Chen Minghui walked out of the shop and said to Chen Minghui, "Go and live with me for a few days, I guess it will take three or four days at Lao Zhou's place."

Chen Minghui was taken aback, "So many clothes can be finished in three or four days?"

Ma Chaoyue smiled, "Do you think it's just a worker in his shop? It takes the year of the monkey and the month of the monkey. Making clothes is not difficult, and most women in the country can do it. Lao Zhou only needs to find a few relatives and friends who have sewing machines at home. Give a commission of a few yuan, don't worry, it will be completed in three or four days."

"Don't live at the train station these few days. Please stay with me. It happens that my father is in the hospital. The old man's room is empty. Don't dislike me. Auntie Hong will replace the quilt with a new one for you."

"Too much trouble."

Ma Chaoyue said, "No trouble, what trouble is there? People in this world are afraid of trouble and have no friends."

Seeing that he was sincere, Chen Minghui agreed.

Ma Chaoyue's family has two children, a boy and a girl. One is in the first year of high school and the other is in the second year of junior high school.When the two children saw Chen Minghui's rags at first, they thought that a distant relative from the countryside had defected to him, and that he had to live permanently, so they didn't look good.Later, Ma Chaoyue introduced that this was the benefactor who saved their grandfather, and the attitudes of the two children immediately changed drastically, and they became very enthusiastic about Chen Minghui.These two children were brought up by Grandpa Ma, and they are very close to the old man.

Aunt Hong deliberately showed her skills at noon and cooked six dishes, three meat and three vegetarian dishes.

"Huizi, you eat fish. Let me tell you, my mother is a master at cooking fish." After a while, Ma Chaoyue's eldest son and Chen Minghui seemed to be alone.

On the one hand, after listening to Chen Minghui's experience, he admired his courage. He dared to venture out alone in a thousand mountains and rivers, and he was younger than him. He thought it was amazing.The second is that Chen Minghui is very talkative. Although the children from the countryside seem to know more than them, Chen Minghui attributes this to the fact that he has traveled to many places and has a lot of knowledge.

The fish cooked by Aunt Hong is really good. Ma’s life is good. The fish is first fried and then braised, with soy sauce, sweet and sour sauce and other seasonings. The taste is very good.

"Aunt Hong, if you open a restaurant with your skills, then the state-run restaurant will be famous." Chen Minghui praised without hesitation while giving a thumbs up.

Aunt Hong covered her mouth and smiled happily, "No way, no way."

The eldest son of Ma Chaoyue said: "Hui Zi said there must be. Over the years, he must have visited many good places and eaten in many state-run restaurants. Since he thinks that you are better than those chefs, it is Really good. Thanks to what I said in class, they still called me bragging."

Aunt Hong became more and more happy, she kept picking up food for Chen Minghui, kept persuading him to eat, and even gave him more food without asking when his bowl was out of food.After eating three full bowls in a row, Chen Minghui said no, and Aunt Hong guessed it was almost the same, so she listened to him.

The host and guest enjoyed the meal, Chen Minghui wanted to wash the dishes after the meal, but Aunt Hong drove him back to the room to rest.

Excluding the hospital for so many days, this is the most comfortable day to sleep, and finally I am next to the bed.Chen Minghui thought that after all these days, he would finally have a comfortable environment and he would sleep soundly, but he didn't expect that as soon as he lay on the bed, his mind was full of Qian Yu.

Think about him in this life, also think about him in the past life, and also think about how people are doing well these few days, how is the food, don't be reluctant.Thinking of what happened later, he wished he could fly to Qian Yu's side immediately and stare at him in person.

Unexpectedly, I thought about this for a whole night, and then I turned around and looked, and the sky was already pale.

Chen Minghui heaved a long sigh.

Qian Yu, who was thousands of miles away, also received a letter from Chen Minghui one day ago. When he saw the letter saying that his trip would be postponed for one month, his mouth that was originally raised because of the letter immediately fell down.

I was so unhappy that I wished I had never received this letter, but it really made him throw the letter away, and he was reluctant. It was sent back by Chen Minghui, and it was written by himself on it. He didn't see it for 23 days. him.miss him.

"Missing Chen Minghui?" Wu Cheng brought hot water in for Qian Yu at night, glanced at the exercise book and said with a smile.

Qian Yu shook his head, "No, he will be back in a few days."

Wu Cheng pointed to the exercise book with a half-smile, and Qian Yu looked down, and saw that it was full of that person's name, and all the blank spaces were filled with the three words Chen Minghui written by him, and his face burst into red.

Wu Cheng didn't continue to tease him, but closed the door for him with a smile.

Qian Yu buried his face in the exercise book, feeling ashamed to see Wu Cheng in the future.

Three days later, Ma Chaoyue took Chen Minghui to the clothing store to pick up clothes, and when he entered the door, he saw a pile of clothes on the ground like a hill.

"Fifty in total. Fifteen woolen coats, five sweaters, twenty bell-bottom pants, ten suits, order yourself." Thursday pointed to the pile of clothes on the ground.

Chen Minghui didn't bother with him either. His brothers settled the accounts clearly, and immediately knelt down to count them one by one. By the way, they randomly checked the quality of workmanship of a few of them. The work was still very meticulous.

Chen Minghui nodded to Ma Chaoyue, and Ma Chaoyue said: "How to sell at this price, you and my nephew will talk about it in detail."

"Okay. This kind of woolen coat is sold in my shop for a four-meter cloth ticket, 120 yuan. If the cloth ticket is not enough, or if there is no cloth ticket, the price will be increased by ten yuan per meter. The bell-bottom trousers are 1 meter 1 cloth ticket, a pair of seven For those who don’t have enough or no cloth tickets, the price will be increased by two yuan per meter. A sweater is 15 yuan, and a suit is 35 yuan..." Thursday carefully introduced each price, and finally concluded: "Of course, this It’s the price I sell to other people. If I sell it to you, I have the face of Brother Ma, so I’m sure I won’t calculate it that way. I’ll give you seven yuan for woolen clothes, two yuan for bell-bottom pants, four yuan for sweaters, and five yuan for suits. .This is the price I will give you, as for how you sell it and how much you sell it, I don’t care.”

According to the price given to him on Thursday, the cost would be 450 yuan, not counting the distribution ticket.If Chen Minghui was on his own, this business would definitely not be possible. Now that Ma Chaoyue followed, with him as a guarantee, Chen Minghui only gave a deposit of [-] yuan, and the rest of the money will be paid when he returns.And on Thursday, not only was he not dissatisfied at all, but he smiled and helped Chen Minghui to load the goods.

Chen Minghui couldn't fit in that small bag, and on Thursday he thoughtfully found a bigger one for him.

Chen Minghui forgot that he is now a 14-year-old frail young man. He wanted to use a clever trick to put his back on his back, but he misjudged his strength at the moment and almost fell down directly.

Ma Chaoyue laughed loudly, "Young man, I'm not strong enough, I'm weak." He went to lift it by himself, but he didn't pick it up.

Now it was Thursday's turn to point at him and smile, "Brother Ma, you don't have to be physically weak. You must have used too much strength on your sister-in-law last night. Are your feet a little floating now?"

Ma Chaoyue scolded: "I did it seven times a night, and the golden gun didn't fall down. Do you think you are as hairy as if you smoked a big cigarette once..."

Hearing what they were talking about, Chen Minghui couldn't help but think to himself that it's a good thing Xiaoyu didn't come, otherwise he would have been taught badly.

Hey, I miss people more and more these days. I really want to make money quickly and go home quickly.I don't know if Xiaoyu misses him, it's time to receive his letter, and I don't know whether to reply to him.It’s okay to read the words if you can’t see anyone.Forget it, when I go back this time, I must take someone to the photo studio, and the two of them have to take a group photo anyway, and if they go out again in the future, there will always be a photo to express their lovesickness.

"Huizi, Huizi..." Ma Chaoyue called out three times before Chen Minghui heard it.

Laughed on Thursday, even the children, pointing at Chen Minghui and said: "Why, I want a wife at a young age. It's okay, follow your uncle and work hard. It won't take a year, you can talk about a wife, two years can buy a house.”

It was true that he wanted a wife too, so Chen Minghui didn't hold back, and silently acquiesced, but it's a pity that the two men only thought he was shy.

Ma Chaoyue took him to the leather shoe store again, and it was easier to talk there. Leather shoes don't need a ticket, and the price is too expensive to sell. He chose one in the 45 yuan range and chose 25 pairs, [-] pairs of men's shoes and women's shoes.Also only paid a deposit of [-] yuan.The rest will be paid when Chen Minghui comes back.

"Uncle Ma, thank you." Chen Minghui knew that it was Ma Chaoyue's face. He might be able to get the clothes and leather shoes by himself, but it was absolutely impossible to just pay a deposit.And this is precisely the most critical.In this kind of transaction between the two provinces, the quantity of goods brought at one time is the main factor that determines how to make money.

"You're welcome. When you get rich in the future, if Uncle Ma encounters difficulties, just don't forget Uncle Ma." Ma Chaoyue's words at this moment are purely polite. After all, with his current status, he is the manager of a department store. , How many people break their heads and earn positions that cannot be earned.Sitting in this position, he was complimented and flattered by many people, no matter how he looked at it, it was a position that was sure to fail and would only get better and better.

At this moment, Ma Chaoyue never dreamed that he would make a prophecy, but Chen Minghui thought of it, but after all, it involved things that hadn't happened, and he couldn't predict the future, so he silently agreed.

Ma Chaoyue sent him to the bus station by bicycle, and gave him an address and a letter, "Go to this address when you arrive in Zhushi. This is a friend of mine. You can live with him in Zhushi. To save my face, He won't charge you more rent."

"Thank you, Uncle Ma."

Ma Chaoyue was afraid that Chen Minghui would violate his yin and yang, so he was reluctant to bear the little rent and told him, "You have to go, don't live at the train station anymore, it's so cold now, don't waste your body with your youth, be careful about getting sick, this It’s a lifetime event.”

Chen Minghui said with a smile: "Uncle Ma, don't worry, I didn't find a way to make money before, but now that I have found it, I still have to take care of my health and make money, so how can I live at the train station? If I'm sick, it won't delay making money. "

Ma Chaoyue felt relieved.

Chen Minghui really doesn't plan to live in the train station anymore. Now that he has the convenience of Ma Chaochao, he doesn't have to make himself miserable. He lives a life and earns money. Of course, he must have good conditions. enjoy.

Coming out of the bus station, Chen Minghui took two bags and went directly to the address given by Ma Chaoyue.The other party lived in a big courtyard house, arranged a room for him, and asked him to pay two yuan a day for accommodation, and he had to solve the food outside by himself.

This also saves a lot. It costs at least five yuan a day to live in a guest house, which is not as convenient as here. This is a single room, and it is hygienic and the environment is good.

Before, he sold toys because the audience was children, so he placed them at the school gate.It is obviously no longer suitable to set up a stall in front of the school to do clothing and leather shoes business now.

Chen Minghui asked: "Uncle Zhang, do you know which factories in our Zhu city are profitable, or the units in our city that are profitable."

Uncle Zhang said: "Soda water factory, cement factory, and ice cream factory are all profitable, and the address is...the employees of the city government, grain depot, and post office are all relatively well-off. money……"

After listening to Uncle Zhang's introduction, Chen Minghui wrote down everything with his brush strokes.

Uncle Zhang patted Chen Minghui on the shoulder, "It's a good thing that the old horse is the one he likes. He really has such a thoughtful mind. He is so thoughtful about such a small matter. You will definitely not lose money if you do this business."

Chen Minghui laughed and said, "Borrow Uncle Zhang's auspicious words."

At night, without waiting for Uncle Zhang to say anything, he wandered out to find a place to eat.This time he didn't treat himself badly. He ordered a plate of cheat sheets at the state-run restaurant, and he ate a full belly with six taels of rice.

He brought a lot of goods this trip, and he could sell them all without any accidents, and he would definitely make a lot of money.Therefore, he does not need to live frugally at all, let alone eat enough, so that he can have the strength and energy to market well and earn a lot of money.

When he came back from dinner, Uncle Zhang's house also just evacuated the dining table, and he was more satisfied to see him so knowledgeable, and even brought in an enamel tank of hot water at night.Chen Minghui thanked you again and again.

The next day, Chen Minghui woke up early and took the earliest bus to the nearest soda factory before dawn. When he arrived at the gate of the factory, it was still dark, the gate of the factory was still closed, and there was silence around him.Chen Minghui himself was not afraid of any of them, but became busy with relish.

He was wearing a rope, and it happened that another tree was planted at the gate of the factory, so he tied the rope to the two trees at will, and the height should reach his shoulders.There are five hangers in the bag that I specially asked for from the clothing store when I left, and they are now just used to hang clothes.

There were five or six styles of clothes that he brought, and Chen Minghui just chose one and hung it up, and the other style didn't have a hanger, so he stretched it out on the two backpacks spread out on the ground.Five or six pairs of shoes were also taken out and placed on the ground.He didn't dare to take them all out, fearing that there would be too many people in a while, and he wouldn't be able to take care of them, and someone would take the opportunity to steal them.There are thieves in all ages, and it is always a good idea to be on guard.

He had just finished working on one end when he heard footsteps on the other end. Chen Minghui looked up and saw a female comrade coming alone.He didn't move. In this day and age, men and women are big defenses. Although he sells goods at a street stall, it's not easy to strike up a conversation with a lesbian alone.First, it may affect the reputation of lesbians and be misunderstood by interested people.Secondly, if he meets a timid lesbian and misunderstands him as lustful and a hooligan, he won't be able to clear it up even if he jumps into the Yellow River.

Sure enough, the lesbians were startled when they saw Chen Minghui standing alone at the gate of the factory. They looked panic-stricken and almost screamed out. Then they caught a glimpse of the stall next to him and suppressed their screams.Then she was distracted by the clothes hanging on the rope.

What is hanging there, woolen coat, and sweater flared trousers, these are all very popular styles recently.Xiaohong, the most beautiful factory flower in the factory, has a woolen coat of this style. It is said that his blind date brought it back from a business trip to Haishi.

Not only her, the female colleagues in the factory like to buy it, but they have to go to Haishi. Although Haishi is only a dozen hours away from Zhushi by bus, it is such a ten-hour drive for this age. For the little girls, it is an unreachable moat. Most of them have never left their hometown, and the distance of more than ten hours by car is so far away for them.That's why I didn't dare in my heart. I always felt that I would not be safe anywhere if I left home.And so did their parents.

Some girls have relatives who live in Haishi and can help buy them, but they don't have cloth tickets in their hands.The cloth tickets issued every month have to be taken home to see who in the family is short of clothes and make some clothes, how can I spend it all by myself.

The woman's eyes were terribly bright, like two high-wattage light bulbs, and she couldn't move her feet. She wished she could rush up and take a closer look.

But the woman stubbornly overcame this strong temptation. After all, it was a man who set up the street stall. The street was still very quiet at this time.But she was not reconciled to letting her leave like this. After thinking about it, the woman found a corner, hid behind the gate of the factory, and secretly observed the stall.Her position is extremely secretive, people who come in will not be able to find her if they don't look for it deliberately, but she can clearly see the outside.She didn't believe that there would be a woman who wouldn't be tempted by such beautiful clothes. As long as someone stopped to ask, she would rush to look at it immediately.

Within 2 minutes, another person came to work, this time it was three lesbians who came together.Seeing how many of them there were, Chen Minghui stood in front of the stall and greeted them with a smile.

"Girls, look at the clothes. I am from Haishi. Haishi's clothes are a popular fashion icon. Take a look, they are all very beautiful styles."

The three girls were taken aback by Chen Minghui's words at first, but they quickly calmed down because of the large number of them. Then they saw the clothes hanging behind Chen Minghui, they couldn't look away immediately, and walked over uncontrollably.

Wool coats were very popular at this time, especially among women.Moreover, the price of a woolen coat is not cheap. One piece costs 80 yuan, which is equivalent to three months' salary of a worker. It can be said to be a luxury item, which is equivalent to the current mink. Attracting the attention of others is also showing off in disguise.There is no one who doesn't like it.

These girls were instantly attracted by the woolen coat, and they couldn't see anything else.

The three of them looked at the sweater coat to the point of rot, and each of them took turns trying it on again, asking each other if it looked good, which took a lot of time.However, during this period, Chen Minghui was not impatient at all. No matter what they asked, he answered patiently with a smile.Right in the middle of this, the woman squatting in the dark had rushed out, mixed among the three girls, and chattered together to discuss.Obviously they didn't know each other before, but a piece of clothing instantly made them acquainted and became good girlfriends who talked about everything for many years.

"My clothes are the latest style in Haishi. I heard that many celebrities are wearing this style. Anyway, I have never seen those celebrities in real life, but a few comrades look really good in them. I think they look better than those celebrities." Chen Minghui was a company boss in his previous life, and he was a self-made man. He always had the ability to talk to people and talk nonsense.This is a very common flattery in later generations. Customers know that it is the boss's marketing strategy, just to sell clothes, and no one will take it seriously.But in this day and age, if a man says it to a girl, it's kind of flirtatious.However, Chen Minghui still has the ability to say these words in a serious manner, as if devoutly speaking from the heart, without any disrespect.

Several girls blushed in an instant, and one of them was more courageous and even said: "I can't compare to other female stars, they are all so beautiful, I wake up with a smile if I have a look."

This girl's dress is indeed a bit rustic, but it's not bad for her. Girls in this era are dressed like this all over the street. On the contrary, there are very few girls who can dress up. It's not like the girls of later generations, who dress up like stars Glamorous.

However, Chen Minghui opened his eyes and said nonsense: "The main reason is that they don't dress up. Look at which celebrities come out and wear rustic clothes. Their good looks are all piled up with clothes. There is a saying that people rely on Clothes depend on the saddle, don't say anything else, just say that you guys just took turns trying on clothes, and I found out that the old saying is true. Originally, I saw that you were no different from other lesbians, but just changed The moment I put on my clothes, how should I put it, it seems that the whole person is lit up, glowing, and the facial features become beautiful. Just like that, the difference between the maid and the lady, really, the temperament is very different. When you walk into the crowd, you are the one who is seen first.”

Chen Minghui's boasting was too straightforward, and now it is too fake. It is estimated that not only will he not attract customers, but he will be disgusted by customers for hypocrisy.But this time is different, all kinds of small stalls and hawkers have just appeared, and no one knows how to do business, and they are a little clumsy when selling things.Chen Minghui took advantage of the previous life, and the frank good words don't seem to be pouring out money, but the girls who have not experienced the baptism of the merchants in the later generations eat this fake praise, all of them have red faces and glowing eyes.

"Then...then buy one?" one of the girls asked.

Another girl whispered: "You really should buy one. Aren't you going on a blind date the day after tomorrow? I heard that the other party is an officer in the army, and the conditions are very good. This kind of man must be used to beautiful women. Girls in the army Doctors know how to dress up, so you can’t just go there with such an uncouth look.”

After being persuaded by her companion, the girl was even more tempted, mainly because she and her family attached great importance to this blind date.The conditions of the other party are really good.

After thinking about it for a while, the girl made up her mind and asked through gritted teeth, "How much is this dress, and how do you sell it at the price?"

Chen Minghui said: "140 and five yuan, you need a four-meter cloth ticket."

The little girls were surprised and said: "It's only 140 and 80 yuan. I think the one from our factory is not as good-looking as this one, and it costs [-] yuan."

Chen Minghui explained with a smile: "She should have bought it in a department store. The clothes there are expensive. After all, they have to earn some money when they buy from the factory. Besides, there are so many employees to support, and the price of a piece of clothing is increased." Tens of dollars is also normal. I am different. I get the goods directly from the manufacturer, and there are no employees to support them. I can earn some hard money, which is enough for the family to live on. To tell you the truth, I only earned one yuan for this piece of clothing. money."

In fact, Chen Minghui bought the clothes for only 110 yuan. He sold them for 140 yuan. He made a profit of 32 yuan by changing hands, and the fare for a piece of clothing came out.

"You also know that the fare from Zhushi to Haishi is thirty or forty. If you go by yourself, the round trip fare will be seventy or eighty. Other manufacturers won't sell you one or two. People sell in large quantities, so I can only go to department stores. Department stores cost 80 yuan per piece. Calculated in this way, once I go inside and outside, I can save 50 yuan here, which is enough. A coat is worth it."

When the girls heard the truth, they were even more moved. If the girl who was going on a blind date didn't have so many cloth tickets, she would have borrowed money from a few colleagues to buy them directly.

She said reluctantly: "I didn't bring so many cloth tickets out today. I'll go home and ask my mother, and ask her to borrow some cloth tickets for me to go to a relative's house and I'll buy them when I have enough."

Chen Minghui knew at a glance that she really wanted it, but there were not so many tickets.Four meters of cloth tickets are indeed a lot, and many people really can't get them out for a while.

This fell right into Chen Minghui's hands. He knew that the distribution of tickets would be canceled in one year. By then, the distribution of tickets would be useless. It would be useless for him to ask for so many distribution tickets.What's more, he bought the goods from the shop, and he had already agreed that the cloth tickets could be paid on credit, and if he got them back in the future, he could also use the money to directly offset the account.

Chen Minghui's plan was to accept the distribution tickets if he had them, and sell them at a higher price if he didn't have them, so he said directly: "I think you really want to buy it, so how about it, I can give you less distribution tickets, and you can also use food stamps, meat tickets or industry tickets. Tickets and other supplements are added, but the price will be more expensive.”

"Let's be honest with you, I really think that you look better than a star in your clothes, and I just want you to impress me and bring more repeat customers, otherwise I can't do without the cloth ticket, and I will get it if I don't have cloth tickets No more clothes. But you look so good in it, you just walked around the factory wearing it, I think the effect is more useful than asking any celebrity endorsement. Those cloth tickets count as the cost of my endorsement, I'll dig it out myself." Chen Minghui said with a pained expression.
