Chapter 729: Another Way to Get Rich
An Wenjing turned her head and saw that they had arrived at the entrance of the department store.
He tilted his body and got off the motorcycle.
Chen Hui parked his car at the parking spot and trotted over to find her.
Holding An Wenjing's hand, he went straight to the second floor.
After a period of adjustment.
The household goods, daily necessities, toys, watches and gadgets that were originally on the second floor have all been moved to the first floor.
The second floor is all about buying clothes, fabrics, bed sheets, quilts and the like.
When An Wenjing went upstairs, she said in confusion, "It was originally good like that, why did they change everything?"
"Because those things, once bought, will be used for a long time in daily life."
"If there is no need, basically no one would climb the stairs to go shopping."
"Especially for children's things, as long as they can't see them, they won't ask to buy them."
"Put them all on the first floor so you can always see them when you pass by."
"I just happened to come across something I liked and I had some spare money in my pocket, so I bought it."
As Chen Hui explained, the two of them went up to the second floor.
Lu Jiajia’s shop is right at the stairs.
The sound of sewing machines came from the shop.
"Brother Chen Hui, there's a family fluffing cotton over there!"
An Wenjing pointed to a store on the right and pulled Chen Hui over to have a look.
The shop is not big.
After placing a large wooden rack in the middle, there was only enough space on both sides for one person to walk.
All kinds of fabrics are densely hung at the entrance of the shop and on the walls on both sides.
"Are you fluffing cotton or buying things?"
When the boss saw the two men, he stopped fluffing the cotton in his hand.
After asking the questions, he continued to be busy.
"Boss, do you have any ready-made quilts for sale?" Chen Hui asked.
The boss laughed when he heard this and said, "No, there is no cotton fluffer who would make ready-made quilts to sell. No one wants them."
"Then where can I buy a quilt?" An Wenjing asked.
The boss found it even funnier, so he stopped and asked with a smile, "Just got married?!"
Chen Hui and An Wenjing looked at each other.
Then they all nodded.
"Didn't your family prepare a quilt for you when you got married?" The boss looked at Chen Hui.
"No." Chen Hui said.
"What about your family? You don't have a dowry quilt either?" The boss looked at An Wenjing again.
"Yeah." An Wenjing said.
Chen Hui was afraid that his boss would think too much.
He immediately helped explain: "My family has no money and no gift, so there is no dowry."
"Oh, no wonder."
The boss understood and nodded.
He lowered his head and began to flick the cotton again, explaining to the two of them as he did so:
"No one knows how to make quilts to sell, and no one would buy them if they were made!"
"Maybe they were afraid that the inside wouldn't work well, so they bought the cotton and found a cotton shop to do it."
"You know where to buy cotton, right? At the supply and marketing cooperative."
The last time An Wenjing's family bought a new quilt was at least ten years ago.
Lin Jiao would take the old quilt and play it again every few years.
An Wenjing knows where to refurbish old quilts.
She didn't understand how new things came and went.
Not to mention Chen Hui, these things were done by his parents before, and later by his eldest aunt.
He just needs to cover himself and sleep.
"I see. That's quite complicated."
Chen Hui muttered softly.
After looking at An Wenjing, both of them couldn't help laughing.
"Master, is it fast to pat a quilt?"
"I'll buy it now and have it delivered. How many days will it take to be ready?" Chen Hui asked.
"You can fluff the quilt quickly, but there are still a few beds that need to be fluffed."
"If you deliver the cotton today, come and pick it up in three or four days."
The boss said this, tilting his head to indicate behind him. There was a row of cotton packed in bags in the corner.
"okay, I get it."
Three or four days, much faster than he expected.
After Chen Hui finished speaking, he prepared to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cotton.
Seeing An Wenjing staring at the door of the store, she saw the fabrics with gorgeous colors and good texture, and it was obvious that she wanted to buy them.
Chen Hui pulled the cloth over and asked, "Boss, how much do you want for this quilt?"
"This one is a bit expensive. It's made of silk and costs eighteen dollars each."
When the boss heard that Chen Hui’s wife had no money for the bride price, he specifically emphasized the price.
"Are there any other colors?" An Wenjing asked.
This one is bright red, and she thinks it's a bit too bright.
An Wenjing prefers plainer food.
"It costs eighteen dollars!"
The boss was afraid that the two didn't hear clearly, so he emphasized it again.
"Master, we had no money when we got married, but now we are doing well."
"I can afford it for 18 bucks. Are there any other colors?"
Although the boss always emphasizes price, he does not look down on people.
Chen Hui patiently asked again.
The boss stopped working and looked at the two men carefully.
Take down the cotton slingshot that is hanging diagonally and put it aside.
He came over and pulled at the fabric while introducing them to the two of them:
"In addition to this red one, there are also green, pink, and this blue one, which are also very beautiful. Look!"
"The ones over there don't have patterns, but there are some with patterns over here."
"There are phoenix and peony, double dragons playing with pearls, and green bamboo."
"The ones with patterns are two dollars more expensive. They cost twenty dollars."
An Wenjing went over to take a look and felt that the patterns were not very nice either.
It still depends on the color.
Chen Hui looked around the store carefully and suddenly asked, "Boss, why don't you sell quilts?"
"quilt cover?!"
The boss was puzzled.
This word sounds strange.
"Brother Chen Hui, what is a quilt cover? Do you want to put a cover over the quilt?"
An Wenjing listened and also felt confused.
"How do we do that? That won't work!"
"Aren't quilts wrapped in sheets and then sewn together?" said the boss.
Chen Hui listened to the boss talking about the quilt cover.
A light bulb went off in my head and I immediately thought of a person.
Isn’t this a ready-made way to make extra money and help the community at the same time?
Chen Hui had an idea in mind.
Without going into details, he smiled and said, "I just said it casually. I am a man and I don't understand these things. Master, you go ahead and we will go buy cotton."
"Ah?! Oh? Oh!"
Before the cotton-fluffing boss could react, Chen Hui had already pulled An Wenjing away.
He shook his head in confusion and went back to the store to continue fluffing cotton.
Chen Hui took An Wenjing and strode into Lu Jiajia's store.
Lu Jiajia was still pedaling the sewing machine with her head down.
When he sensed someone coming in, he just casually said, "Look for yourself."
"Jia Jia, are you free? Let's talk about something."
"I need a batch of cloth. Can you help me get some?" Chen Hui asked.
A batch?!
This unit of measurement is very special.
Lu Jiajia slowly stopped moving and looked up to see that it was Chen Hui.
He smiled and asked, “Why, the last time we bought so much fabric, it’s not enough for your family to make clothes?
"Yeah, I want something different this time."
"Do you have any cotton pattern pieces? Pure cotton would be best."
