NOVEL NEXT The happy little days of the Ye family
Chapter 36 Preparation for selling goods and heavy rain
When Ye's father returned home, it was completely dark. Ye Xilin and Ye Donglin, who were hunting hogweeds, were back. The whole family was sitting neatly in the yard waiting for Ye's father to come back.
Father Ye was a little flattered when he saw this battle. He had only been treated like this when he first went to work in the grocery store.
"Dad, what did you buy in the county this time?"
The donkey cart hadn't even parked yet, so the two energetic boys climbed onto the donkey cart and prepared to help Ye's father move the things down.
Ye Xilin was young and Ye's father was afraid that he was neither light nor heavy, so he only handed him two large bags of rags, and then gave his eldest son two pieces of burlap to take off the donkey cart.
Father Ye dragged the sacks containing large pieces of cloth off the donkey cart, and then put the rest of the things in the big basket and carried them down.
Several people saw that Father Ye's purchase was relatively small, and they knew that Father Ye's purchase might not go smoothly this time.
"Let's talk about it when we go back to the house." Mr. Ye said.
In the hall, Mrs. Ye generously lit two candles, and the lights were as bright as day.
"I only bought this piece of burlap with damaged weaving at the dock, but the damage is not many and not very obvious. I bought it for 55 yuan." After saying that, he handed the cloth bought at the dock to Ye Mu and Ye. The old lady looked.
Mother Ye and Mrs. Ye looked at it carefully and found that the bad parts were indeed not many and not obvious.
"This fabric is a good buy. Burlap is sold at cloth shops for 90 renminbi. Although there are some minor problems with this fabric, it can be sold for [-] renminbi without any problem." Old Mrs. Ye nodded with satisfaction.
"These two pieces of fabric were bought at the Chenjia Cloth Store you mentioned."
"Although the color of this red linen is not very genuine, red fabric is rare. This should be very popular. How much did you pay for it?" Old Mrs. Ye took the red cloth and looked back and forth.
"The red linen cost 115 cents, and the goose-yellow burlap cost 65 cents."
"The fine linen fabric in the cloth shop costs 120 Wen. The red one is a little more expensive, about 125 Wen. There is no profit."
Just making 10 cents, it was better to buy two pieces of the defective fabric. Mrs. Ye suddenly looked down on the red linen.
"Although the workmanship of this goose-yellow fabric is indeed poor, the color is really beautiful."
Ye Mu looked at the fabric in front of her with a pity expression. This goose yellow fabric was not common, but the workmanship was really poor.
"I bought few things, and the prices given by the store were quite high. I didn't dare to buy more, so I took some better things that were sold in the grocery store before." Father Ye took out the things in the basket one by one. put it on the table.
"You're doing the right thing. It's better to be on the safe side when purchasing the goods for the first time. Besides, there's quite a lot of these things, enough for you to run around for a few days. Take your time."
"Ms. sir, why did you take facial grease?"
"I saw that women's products such as rouge, gouache, hand cream and face cream were selling well in the grocery store, so I bought a few boxes to try." Father Ye thought for a long time when he picked up the face cream.
"People in the town don't go to the fields. If they have time and money, they can dress up. If they were in the village, they probably wouldn't be willing to spend money to buy facial grease." Ye Mu was afraid that the facial grease would fall on her hands.
"I didn't think it through. After all, the countryside is not as rich as the town." Father Ye said with some annoyance.
"It's okay. If we can't sell it, just keep it for me and Xiuxiu." Seeing that her son was not in a good mood, Mrs. Ye quickly added.
"Okay, let's eat first, and then we can sort out these things after dinner."
Mr. Ye found a place for his son to step down, and Mr. Ye felt that his father had done a good job in purchasing goods for the first time.
After dinner, except for the two brothers who were washing dishes, everyone in the Ye family was in the hall sorting out the cloth heads brought back by Ye's father.
Mrs. Ye first poured down all the rags, then grabbed a handful and tied them up.
"Old man, you and Fengsheng will tie these rags into a small bundle like this. If you see brightly colored rags, take them aside first."
After seeing the cloth ends that Mrs. Ye tied up, Mr. Ye and his father immediately started to work. The old man was responsible for dividing the cloth ends into small piles, and Ye was responsible for tying up the rags.
On the side, Mother Ye has poured large pieces of cloth on the ground. Mother Ye and Mrs. Ye put together the pieces of cloth of the same color or similar colors.
Mother Ye tied the blue and gray pieces with the most cloth ends separately.
"There are more gray and blue cloths. If we put them together, we can probably make two children's clothes. These two kinds of cloths can be sold for ten cents a bundle." Ye's mother said to Ye's father while holding two bundles of cloth.
Mrs. Ye looked at the remaining pieces of cloth and said: "The remaining pieces of cloth cost about four or five yuan per color. They can barely make a child's clothes or trousers, so let's sell them for five cents a bundle." "
Mrs. Ye bundled the other pieces of cloth according to their colors, not many, only 7 bundles in total.
"If we can sell them all, we can make 20 cents." Ye Mu feels that selling scraps of cloth is better than complete fabrics. The cost is lower but the profit is much higher.
"Okay, let's sell it at this price." Father Ye thinks this price is pretty good.
Father Ye continued: "These rags can be sold for 1 penny a bundle."
Although rags cannot be used to make clothes, they are good for making shoe uppers or mending clothes.
"There are 6 bundles of rags in total. I took out the brightly colored fabrics separately." Mr. Ye brought the brightly colored rags to Mrs. Ye.
"Xiuxiu, do you think these pieces of cloth can be made into headbands?"
Ye Mu took a few pieces of cloth and studied them carefully. "The color is okay, but it's a bit small. I think it can be done by splicing it together. I'll give it a try."
"Dad, I have some handkerchiefs I made when I was practicing. Can I put them on consignment for you?" Ye Qingqing took out a few handkerchiefs from the room and looked at Father Ye with a smile.
These handkerchiefs were made by Ye Qingqing last year. They were not very well made and the embroidery shop refused to accept them.
"No problem, how many coins do you want to sell for a handkerchief?" This was not a difficult task, and Father Ye agreed without thinking.
"A handkerchief costs 8 cents. The bottom line is 6 cents." Ye Qingqing thought for a moment and said.
Seeing that she could still sell them on consignment, the old lady immediately went back to her room and took out a few pairs of insoles and soles.
"Feng Harvest, please help me buy these soles and insoles. The soles cost 5 cents per pair and the insoles cost 2 cents per pair." The wife handed the things to Father Ye kindly.
"Okay, no problem." Father Ye agreed happily. He was worried that there were too few things.
There weren't many things, so a few people sorted them out quickly.
"We have to sell goods tomorrow, so go to bed early." Mr. Ye patted his son on the shoulder and asked him to wash up and rest quickly.
The weather was not good, and it started to rain in the middle of the night.
Mrs. Ye wakes up the earliest every day. She opened the door and found it was raining. Mrs. Ye sighed. It wasn't raining heavily, but it wasn't easy to go out and sell goods.
At this time, Father Ye also got up and found that it was raining outside. When he opened the door, he saw Mrs. Ye looking up at the sky sadly.
"All good things come hard, go back and get some sleep. You were tired from going to buy goods yesterday. It's not too late to rest for two days and wait for the weather to improve before going to sell goods." Old Mrs. Ye saw Father Ye getting up and quickly comforted her.
"Mom, I'm fine. Don't you have to cook pig food and make breakfast? I'll help you light the fire."
Father Ye and Mrs. Ye entered the kitchen together.
It was still raining lightly in the morning, but unexpectedly, it started raining heavily in the afternoon.
Looking at the rain falling more and more outside the window, Father Ye couldn't help but let out a long sigh. This business is not easy.
Father Ye was a little flattered when he saw this battle. He had only been treated like this when he first went to work in the grocery store.
