Chapter 35 Not going well (plus more)

"This Bai family is a well-known person in our East Street. You can't even shop around when you buy things. You may have to compare five or six. The last thing you pick must be good and cheap. Buy with her. Never miss it."

"No, I just saw him carrying two sewing baskets, and when I asked, he said he bought them here, so I came over and bought one to use back, I can't go wrong." Another person echoed.

So this is, the most primitive buyer follow suit?
Jiang Mixia blinked her eyes.

But this is a good thing for business, Jiang Mixia liked it, and was busy greeting business.

When this group of people left, there were not many needles and threads left.

After a few more people came, the needlework basket was sold out.

Looking at the bulging money bag, Jiang Mixia was quite happy, but she was a little sad when she saw that none of the puppets were sold.

It was she who suggested to Jiang Chunshi to carve puppets. It would be embarrassing if none of them could be sold at the moment.

But judging from the current situation, it is really difficult to sell.

It's not that the shape of the puppet is not good-looking, nor is it that there is a problem with the carving of Jiang Chunshi. The key lies in the market demand and the cost performance of the item.

Although a puppet does not cost much material, it is labor-intensive, so if the price of a puppet is less than 35 cash, it is not worth it.

35 Wen, which is almost the same price as a needlework basket.

But the needlework basket is a commonly used item in the home. Buying one may last for several years. Puppets are just toys for children. In a world where a catty of pork belly costs only a dozen yuan, such a thing is too extravagant.

Especially for towns with underdeveloped economies.

At the beginning, I only considered the scarcity of the item, but forgot the market demand. This puppet is hard to sell in the town, so I can only go back to the county to try it, maybe I can try my luck...

Jiang Mixia was thinking about whether to close the stall earlier and go to West Street to find Jiang Youcheng and Jiang Chunshi.

Seeing his wife's serious expression and frowning, the little son-in-law asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, just thinking that if the puppet can't be sold..."

"No, no." Song Jingyun interrupted Jiang Mixia, "These puppets will definitely be sold."

What he said was very firm.

"Although I also hope to be able to sell it, but this posture is enough." Jiang Mixia sighed.

"But these puppets look very nice, especially this rabbit." Song Jingyun picked up the rabbit puppet and shook it, "Several people just saw it, and they like it very much."

And rabbit meat is so delicious, no one doesn't like rabbits.

"But no one bought it in the end." Jiang Mixia said, "I just liked it very much, and I watched it again and again, but I didn't buy it because it was too expensive and I didn't think it was worth it."

"Let's put it this way, you have 35 Wen, you can buy a piece of pork to stew with braised pork, or you can buy this wooden rabbit, which one do you choose?"

"This..." Song Jingyun was speechless.

For him, this is not a multiple-choice question.

Because he will definitely choose braised pork.

Song Jingyun scratched his head, "But there are always people who think that what you eat is not important, it's what you like that matters."

"Yes, but there are very few in the town. Most of them are farmers who can't make a few dollars a day. They value food very much. That's why I said, if you really can't sell it, you have to go to the county to try it out. Luckily."

Jiang Mixia said, "People in the county town make more money, and they are more likely to meet some rich people who are willing to buy things that are not suitable for use but they like."

Song Jingyun scratched his head again.

But he always felt that someone would buy it, after all, these puppets are so beautiful.

There is always someone who is not as greedy as him.

"Wait a little longer and see? It's still early." Song Jingyun suggested, "Someone might buy it."

"Then wait a little longer..."

Jiang Mixia nodded.

After all, it can't be sold now, so wait a little longer, maybe there will be a miracle.

But Jiang Mixia felt that miracles don't happen often, so she didn't express too much hope in her heart, she just waited quietly and kept the stall there, neither hawking nor soliciting customers.

As before, people came to look at the puppets on the booth one after another, looking at them infrequently, but when they asked the price, most of them didn't even hesitate, put them down and left.

There are also children who cling to adults to buy puppets, hold on to the puppets, cry and want to buy them, but they are dragged away by adults without exception.

After throwing the puppet back, he still complained, "I'm really crazy about money, things are so expensive, and I want to cheat children for money, I'm not afraid of thunder!"

He was complained a few times like this, and made several children cry, and even the people around who sold other things looked at Jiang Mixia and Song Jingyun less friendly.

After all, the children were crying, the adults were beating and scolding, and after all this trouble, the people who went to the market would naturally avoid it, especially those with children. Seeing this posture, they directly pulled the children around them to go quickly. The things they originally wanted to buy were simply If you don't buy it anymore, it will naturally affect the surrounding business.

Seeing this, Jiang Mixia stopped insisting, "Yes, let's close the stall."

If things go on like this, let alone things that cannot be sold, my brains will explode from the fuss.

"Oh."

Although Song Jingyun still felt that the puppets could be sold, but when his wife said something, he just followed suit and started to clean up the puppets.

"You puppets, are you still selling them?"

Crisp sound.

Jiang Mixia looked up and saw a seven or eight-year-old girl with a round face and big eyes, smiling, with two dimples at the corners of her mouth.

"It's for sale, but the price isn't cheap, it costs 35 renminbi each." Jiang Mixia laughed.

"35 cents a piece." The little girl pouted, picked up the deer that Jiang Mixia was about to put away, looked at it again, then picked up the little rabbit to look at it, then looked at the puppy, then looked at the kitten...

"They all look good, I like them very much."

The little girl scratched her head, full of hesitation, her small round face was almost wrinkled into a bun.

Jiang Mixia saw that the little girl was cute and cute, so she pursed her lips and smiled, "If you really like it, then sister will give you a cheaper price, 32 Wen."

"Okay, thank you sister." The little girl picked up the puppets again and looked at them again, still didn't know which one to take, and finally said, "These are all beautiful, I really want to have them all, and one costs 32 coins In other words, two need 64 Wen, three need 96 Wen, and four..."

The little girl counted with her hands for a long time, and finally scratched her ears in embarrassment, "I don't seem to be able to figure it out. If I buy all these, how much will it cost?"

"There are ten puppets in total, and 320 characters are required." Jiang Mixia replied with a smile.

"Then I have enough money." The little girl took the purse on her body, poured out a small silver barley from it, and handed it to Jiang Mixia.

It is a tael of silver.

Jiang Mixia held the silver, hesitated for a while, and then opened her mouth.

 It's a new month, because we have to strive for rankings, so I hope that the little cuties will still support a lot~
