Chapter 730: Prepare to Lie Down

"Yes, I'll show it to you!"

Lu Jiajia stood up and took out a small basket from the corner.

He handed the things to Chen Hui and said, "Here, the cotton cloth and other things are all here."

"So many?" Chen Hui asked in surprise.

"Usually, if I get new patterns and colors, I always keep a piece in there."

"I've been making clothes for many years, so it's not normal to have so many scraps of cloth."

"You can choose first. The price per meter is written on it."

"Let me make it clear first, this is the purchase price I paid for the goods."

After Lu Jiajia finished speaking, she sat down at the sewing machine and started working again.

It's a change of season, and she still has a lot of orders to deliver.

"Brother Chen Hui, look."

An Wenjing picked up a piece of cloth and took a look at it, and was stunned by the numbers on it.

Pointing at the number, he called Chen Hui to look.

"Huh?!" Chen Hui took it and took a look.

There are two lines of numbers on the fabric.

P54671225
31604
Just now Lu Jiajia said that the price per meter was written on the cloth.

Whichever it was, it was clearly not.

Chen Hui took another piece of cloth from the basket and looked at it. It said:

Y153246
31606
"Jia Jia, your birthday is March 16th?" Chen Hui asked.

"Hey? You're very smart. I was thinking you would ask me later!"

"Since you understood the first part, you don't need me to explain the rest, right?"

Lu Jiajia said in surprise.

Chen Hui smiled and handed both pieces of cloth to An Wenjing.

Pointing to the numbers on it, he said, "This one is 1.6 cents per meter, and this one is 40 cents."

"Brother Chen Hui, how did you know that?" An Wenjing was dumbfounded.

"Let me explain it to you." Chen Hui held the cloth and explained in detail.

The top row is the real product number.

The row below is the unit price of the cloth.

Write the price on the cloth, so next time you buy the same cloth, you don’t have to look for the price.

Just take out the scraps of cloth and look at it.

Then you will know whether the goods are expensive or not.
You can also compare whether the quality is the same as before.

But scraps of cloth are usually just left lying around.

When customers come to choose fabrics, most of the time they look at the fabric heads first.

Anyone can see the numbers above.

How can we do business if people know the purchase price? So we add some fixed numbers to confuse people.

"Isn't Jia Jia's approach too smart?"

An Wenjing didn't expect it to be like this.

“Really smart!”

"Jia Jia is considered to be a very smart person in this era." Chen Hui nodded.

The first time he saw this method was in a large wholesale city in the provincial capital.

That was more than ten years later.

It was so long ago that Chen Hui almost forgot it, but now he is learning it again.

"You two, I'm embarrassed by your praise."

"Hurry up and choose the fabrics. Not many people will be shopping tomorrow, Monday, so I just need to go buy some goods."

Lu Jiajia said with a smile.

The sewing machine continued to make a rustling sound.

Chen Hui asked An Wenjing to choose two pieces first.

While Lu Jiajia was finishing a vest, she picked it up and shook it.

I asked her to help pick out two pieces of the same pattern that was commonly used by the better-off families in the county town to make clothes.

Chen Hui did not use these two pieces. Instead, he chose two other pieces with similar patterns but at a price two cents higher.

He shook the cloth and said, "I want these four."

"How much rice do you want? I'll make you 10 cents per meter, that's not too much, right?"

Lu Jiajia took the material and asked with a smile.

"I want five of these fabrics in total."

"I want 300 meters of one kind. You want to make 120 yuan from me for about 1,000 meters of cloth. Isn't that too much?" Chen Hui wanted to say 500 meters of one kind.

As the words came to his lips, he quickly calculated his family's financial situation in his mind and changed his words.

"what?!"

Lu Jiajia looked at Chen Hui in surprise:

"What do you need so much for? You can't make clothes for the whole village."

beauty.

You have such a good brain, why are you so obsessed with making clothes with cloth?
Chen Hui smiled and said, "It doesn't matter what we do, let's talk about the price first."

Lu Jiajia thought about it and said, "What about eight points?!"

"Five cents! I don't have enough money today so I got less goods."

"In the future, we will need to purchase goods in quantities of several thousand meters." Chen Hui said.

"We'll talk about it later when you get more points. The minimum is seven points."

Lu Jiajia made a clear offer.

I didn't believe what Chen Hui said at all.

"Then let's count it as 70% this time. We'll discuss it again next time if you get more."

"make a deal!"

Lu Jiajia and Chen Hui smiled at each other.

Chen Hui gave the two hundred yuan he earned from selling the dog shark to Lu Jiajia as a deposit.

You can pay the remaining money when you pick up the goods.

An Wenjing held back and didn't say anything.

After the two of them left the department store, he could not help but ask in rapid succession:

"Brother Chen Hui, why do you sell so much cloth?"

"Aren't we here to make quilts? Why are we suddenly selling fabric?"

"Where are we going now? No more beating the quilt?"

Chen Hui touched his pocket and said with a smile: "I have no money left!"

"I still have a little bit."

An Wenjing took out dozens of dollars from her pocket, both in small and large amounts.

Chen Hui counted and found that it was enough to buy cotton.

I took An Wenjing to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy cotton, and then brought it over to the cotton-fluffing master.

Two quilts. I made an appointment with him to pick them up next Thursday.

I passed by the vegetable market and used the remaining money to buy some pork ribs, tofu, and eggs.

On the way back to the village, An Wenjing saw Chen Hui turn the motorcycle into the fork road leading to Dasa Village.

Patting his shoulder, he reminded: "Brother Chen Hui, aren't we going home?"

"Let's go find my aunt and discuss a way to make money." Chen Hui said with a smile.

"Get rich?!" An Wenjing didn't understand.

"Didn't you say you didn't want me to go out to sea every day and be so tired?"

"I don't plan to rely on going to sea for the rest of my life. What I'm doing now is just laying the foundation."

"Once the foundation is laid, you can start lying flat."

"I plan to work hard for a few years and then retire at the age of 30," said Chen Hui.

An Wenjing pondered for a while and concluded:
"Brother Chen Hui, I think you are talking nonsense."

"You still haven't told me why we buy cloth? Also, why are we going to Dasha Village to make a fortune?"

puff!

Chen Hui was riding his bike when he was suddenly amused by An Wenjing's words.

He collected his attention and said, "I have a whole set of plans. I think I'll have to tell them again when I get to my aunt's house, so I won't go into details."

Since Chen Hui said so, An Wenjing didn't ask any more questions.

Remind him to ride his bike seriously and stop drifting away.

The two of them went around and returned to Chen Huihong's house.

She was holding tools of all sizes, ready to go to the mountains to work.

Seeing them coming back, I wondered, "What happened? Did you forget to take something?"

"Aunt, I want to ask you something."

"If there is such a job, I can earn several thousand yuan a year."

“I can earn more than farming and fishing nets, and it’s a little easier.

"Will you do it?"

Chen Hui parked his motorcycle at the door, strode in and asked.
