When clerk Li saw that she didn't look like she was lying, he realized something was wrong. He went to the counter and took out a box to show her: "Look. When that person came in and said she was your sister-in-law, I thought it was inconvenient for you to come over."
Chen Lishu turned her head to take a look, and sure enough she saw that it was stuffed full of flowers.
Her sister-in-law? Zhang Qin and Liu Yuemin were both at home during this period, and it was impossible to have time to make so many flowers.
I guess someone pretended to be someone else.
At first, Chen Lishu didn't really think about it. But when she visited all the stores and found that the conditions in each store were basically the same, she had to start to doubt it.
"Third sister-in-law, what should we do now?"
Gu Xingye took a look at the pocket full of money at his feet and felt angry and anxious. If he couldn't sell it, it would all be money: "If you let me know who did this immoral thing, I will beat him up."
Chen Lishu also stared at the bag containing the hairdressing, and said quietly for a long time: "I think I should know who did it."
Gu Xingye gritted his teeth: "Who?"
"Second sister-in-law went back to her parents' home twice some time ago."
During the busy farming season, everyone almost never asks for leave in order to earn work points. But Liu Yuemin, who doesn't go home twice a year, only went back twice in a few days. It is said that there is something wrong at home.
Besides her own family, she couldn't think of anyone else who would know so clearly whether it was hair flowers or the places where they were supplied.
"You mean the second sister-in-law?" Gu Xingye was startled, then shook his head: "No way. The second sister-in-law said that we are all one family. Why would she do this? Third sister-in-law, don't think too much, maybe you came to deliver the goods
Sometimes you are seen by someone who is interested, and it is not necessary to follow the same example."
In fact, Chen Lishu didn't want things to be what she thought. After all, although Liu Yuemin had many minor problems, the nature of this matter was completely different.
"I hope so." Chen Lishu sighed, bent down, picked up her bag, turned around, and walked towards the supply and marketing cooperative not far away again.
Gu Xingye saw her move and followed her.
The clerk was a little puzzled when he saw Chen Lishu go and return.
Chen Lishu didn't wait for her to ask, but smiled and said: "Sister Liu, let's do this. Although you still have a surplus of flowers here, these things have no shelf life. As long as you keep them and sell them slowly, they will eventually be sold out. If you can keep some more, I will
I’ll give you one cent and thirty, what do you think?”
She has saved nearly a thousand in the past two months. This is just a county town with a limited population, so the demand is naturally limited. Although things like hair flowers are consumables, people nowadays use things carefully. It takes a year and a half to buy one.
It won't be replaced.
The technical content of hair flower is low, and she had no intention of monopolizing the market. The price reduction was bound to happen sooner or later. But she didn't expect this day to come so quickly, and she was even caught off guard.
"One cent and three cents?" Sister Liu hesitated, but thinking about it, Chen Lishu was right. If you just leave the flowers and sell them slowly, and they won't expire, she can still earn an extra two cents.
"Okay, leave a hundred for me."
"Thank you, Sister Liu." Chen Lishu thanked her and quickly counted out a hundred and handed them to her. Sister Liu received the goods and gave her thirteen yuan.
"Third sister-in-law, why do you want to lower the price? When they run out, won't it still be 15 cents if you send it over after a while?" After leaving the supply and marketing cooperative, Gu Xingye finally asked the question he had been holding in his heart.
Chen Lishu explained patiently: "If the market is saturated and the price is not reduced, it will become unsaleable. Besides, if I lower the price first and let the supply and marketing cooperative stock up on my goods, the other party will want to deliver the goods later. Even if the price is lowered, they may not be able to keep it."
Gu Xingye thought about it carefully and finally realized that whoever strikes first will seize the opportunity.
"Sister-in-law, what do you think? It's really amazing." She looked at Chen Lishu with even more admiration.
Chen Lishu smiled and went back the same way with him, and visited all the previous stores. Seeing her price reduction, those stores would more or less buy some goods.
Soon, she sold nearly a thousand flower heads for 13 cents, and she had an extra 121 yuan in her pocket.
It just so happened that Gu Xingye was here today. It was rare to find a labor force, so Chen Lishu took him to the Qingshan Garment Factory.
"Xiao Chen is here." Chen Xiangfa was very happy to see her, and his eyes fell on Gu Xingye behind her: "Is this your man?"
Gu Xingye suddenly blushed. Fortunately, his face was so dark that he couldn't see clearly.
Chen Lishu smiled and explained: "Uncle, this is my brother-in-law."
"Oh, look at what happened."
Knowing that something had happened, Chen Xiangfa was a little embarrassed. He first invited the two of them into the room and poured a glass of water from an enamel jar.
"Is business doing very well recently? Some time ago, your sister-in-law came over to pick up goods. When we were chatting, she said that your man had written a letter and was coming back, so I misunderstood."
Chen Lishu and Gu Xingye looked at each other. If the supply and marketing cooperative was a coincidence, how could the clothing factory explain it? Moreover, they even knew about Gu Xingdong's letter.
Chen Lishu smiled and didn't explain much.
Soon Chen Xiangfa set off to find Liu Xiaoting. When he came back, he asked the two of them to go to the backyard.
After saying goodbye to Chen Xiangfa, both of them looked unhappy.
She walked to the small door at the back. Liu Xiaoting was already waiting there. She was startled when she saw Gu Xingye behind her.
"This is my brother-in-law Gu Xingye." Chen Lishu introduced with a forced smile.
Liu Xiaoting nodded: "Here is thirty kilograms. You asked for too much last time, and now you only have so much left."
The one she mentioned last time was probably the one pretending to be her sister-in-law.
"Thank you, Sister Liu."
Chen Lishu gave her three yuan. Just as she was about to leave with the bag, Liu Xiaoting hesitated and stopped her: "We have a batch of original foreign trade goods in our factory, which are defective clothes and pants that were returned. Five yuan.
A piece of money, do you want it?"
I saw that Chen Lishu was a reliable person after seeing her so many times, so she asked more questions. Although it was an original foreign trade order, the quality was actually very good.
However, if you have conditions, you must buy something that is okay, and if you don’t have conditions, the price of five yuan is too expensive. After all, the cost is there, and the factory would rather keep it in the warehouse than deal with it cheaply.
When Chen Lishu heard that there were still clothes for sale, she immediately became energetic.
"Can I see the goods first?"
Liu Xiaoting glanced at the two of them and emphasized again: "Five yuan a piece, are you sure you can take it?"
Chen Lishu nodded: "I'll check the situation first. If there's nothing wrong with it, I'll definitely take it."
Liu Xiaoting thought for a moment: "You guys wait a moment, I'll go talk to the director."
About ten minutes later, Liu Xiaoting's figure appeared not far away and waved to the two of them: "You two, come in with me."
Gu Xingye subconsciously looked at Chen Lishu, and when he saw Chen Lishu nodding, he followed her into the factory.
This is Chen Lishu's first time entering a garment factory. As soon as she enters, she is greeted by a spacious courtyard with a diamond-shaped flower bed and several trees planted along the wall. There is a basketball stand and table tennis table on the other side, which should be an activity area.
