Chen Lishu subconsciously wanted to refuse. It was too expensive.
A Butterfly sewing machine made in Shanghai costs 150 yuan plus a sewing ticket. Even if she doesn't have a ticket, Chen Lishu believes that as long as she goes to a department store to find a way, she should be able to buy one for 223 yuan.
However, she plans to continue the clothing business in the future, and having a sewing machine will indeed be much cheaper.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Fifty yuan. If you agree, I'll take it."
The man laughed angrily at her counteroffer. He asked for one hundred, but she cut it in half and gave him back fifty.
"Comrade, you'd better look at other tickets." The meaning is obvious, fifty will definitely not work.
Chen Lishu's delicate brows furrowed and she seemed to have made a lot of determination: "Then let's do it. If you sincerely sell it, I will also sincerely buy it. Let's each take a step back and make a compromise. If it works, it's 60. If it doesn't work, we'll throw it away."
Although Chen Lishu said so, she actually had a bottom line in her heart. If she was over seventy, she would not want the sewing ticket.
The man still shook his head.
Chen Lishu couldn't help it, and finally showed her bottom line and said decisively: "Seventy, if you want to sell it, just deduct it from the money you paid for the clothes. If not, let's settle the bill now."
The man also knew that seventy was the highest price she could give, so he thought about it and nodded: "I'll treat you as my friend."
There were a total of forty-five pieces of clothing, and the man counted out three hundred and eighty yuan in fifteen-foot cloth stamps. Chen Lishu also chose five kilograms of food stamps and a few industrial coupons. The business was completed.
When she put all the clothes into the prepared nylon bag, the man's eyes flashed when he saw that there were still some hairpins in the bag where she originally packed the clothes.
He took the clothes and pointed at the flower in his head and asked: "Did you make this flower in your head, Comrade? How much does it cost for one?"
Chen Lishu replied: "I made them. They retail for 20 cents each. The starting price is 15 cents for those who are fifty."
The man looked at her and suddenly smiled: "How much can you give me if I take more?"
"How much is Duona?"
"A thousand, maybe."
"That's 13 cents."
The man seemed dissatisfied: "You are making this with rags, and the rubber bands inside don't cost much. The cost will not exceed five cents at most. Of course, including labor, it will definitely cost more than this. But it will not exceed that."
Eight cents."
The calculation is really clear.
Chen Lishu raised her eyes and looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
The man didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "If you can provide stable supply for a long time and give me a purchase price of 10 cents, I can order a thousand units first. If the sales are good, the price will increase every month in the future."
A dime?
Although the price is lower than what she has sold before, it is, as the man said, long-term stable. This is exactly what she wants.
"Then you need to pay part of the deposit." Chen Lishu thought for a while and said. Although a thousand is not much, if the other party doesn't want it, she may not be able to sell them all at once.
The man happily paid twenty yuan. Although it was not much, after all, there was no contract between the two and they did not understand each other. Both parties had to bear some risks.
The man's name was Zhou Bin. Before leaving, he left his name and the time and address of the next meeting, then took his things and left.
In less than an hour, Chen Lishu sold everything, especially the 380 yuan and a dozen tickets in her pocket. This made her feel a little unreal.
"Have all the children been sold?" As soon as they returned to the alley, an old woman asked curiously.
Chen Lishu smiled at her, her eyes fell on the chicken feathers in front of her and asked: "Are you selling chickens?"
The aunt smiled and shook her head: "The old man at home hunted some game. The fat and big rabbit weighs five or six pounds and costs two yuan each. Would you like one, girl?"
It is said to be five or six kilograms, and the skin and bones can be removed to weigh two or three kilograms of meat. However, the family has not eaten meat for a long time. Besides, she was lucky today. She not only sold clothes but also received a large order. Chen Lishu decided to celebrate, so
Nodding. Thinking that my mother-in-law must not have eaten meat for a long time, I simply bought two.
Everyone saw that she not only sold things quickly, but also bought things happily. Knowing that she had money, everyone recommended their own products when passing by the stall.
When Chen Lishu passed by the old man who was displaying broken porcelain pieces, she was curious and asked a few questions. Unexpectedly, the old man was so enthusiastic: "Dear girl, I have everything there. Why don't you come back with me and take a look, and pick whatever you like."
."
She is now the gold ingot in the eyes of these people, and Chen Lishu does not dare to follow anyone easily. So she smiled and shook her head: "Next time. Next time I will come over and see you with you."
Next time she asks Gu Xingye to come with her and take a closer look at what she wants to buy.
All the way out of the alley, Chen Lishu looked back cautiously and found that two men were looking at her furtively. She immediately ran towards a crowded place. After running with the crowd for a long time, she looked back to make sure there was no one there.
The man followed, and then he carried the two rabbits all the way home.
"Mom, sister-in-law, do you think I bought something?"
After entering the house, she saw two people sitting by the kang, sewing flowers on their hair. Chen Lishu happily took out the rabbit in the bag and showed it to them.
"Why are you buying a rabbit?" Li Xiulan was shocked when she saw a live rabbit.
"Who bought the rabbit?"
Gu Xingye came in from the outside in a messy look. When he saw the rabbit in Chen Lishu's hand, his eyes immediately widened in surprise: "Sister-in-law, did you buy a rabbit? Shall we eat meat tonight?"
Chen Lishu pursed her lips and smiled: "I have to ask my fourth brother to kill the rabbit. I will make braised rabbit meat for everyone tonight."
Gu Xingye immediately nodded happily. He was originally with Gu Shoufu, his two brothers and the mud wall builder, but he didn't leave now and went directly to the kitchen with the rabbit in hand.
Chen Lishu told Li Xiulan and Zhang Qin and returned to Chen's house with another rabbit.
The conditions at home have improved a bit. Chen Liyuan and Chen Lifei have gone back to school at the beginning of the new year. At this time, only the Chen family and a few children are at home. Seeing Chen Lishu back, the whole family is very happy.
"When I went to town, I met a rabbit seller and bought two. I just sent one to my family."
"Why did you buy this thing? It's just free money. If you like to eat it, just have these two days free and ask your dad to go up the mountain and catch two for you."
Wu Chunmei was happy, but felt bad that she wasted her money.
"My dad can still catch rabbits?" Chen Lishu was a little surprised.
"That's because you don't know that your dad is a good hunter of rabbits and pheasants. The traps he sets are basically never empty."
"It all happened when I was young. I haven't touched it for many years, and my hands are very raw." Chen Mandun was a little embarrassed by Wu Chunmei's praise, so he sat on a stool and rubbed his hands.
When I was young, I could play wildly with everyone, but after I got married, my responsibilities became heavier, so I couldn’t have that leisure time. Besides, things on the mountain belong to the public. If you catch them, you have to hand them over to the public.
"Dad, did you know? This rabbit can be sold for two yuan in the town. If you can catch it, we can sell it to the town. It will definitely sell for a lot of money."
