Traveling through the Eighth Five-Year Plan: Starting from selling fruit at a stall

Chapter 44 Inadvertently planting willows and willows

While it was still early, Ling Yue hurried to the vegetable market by asking Huang Guixiang to help look after the children.

The vegetable market is the night market at night. When Ling Yue appeared in the night market wearing slim-fit jeans and white V-neck short-sleeves, this well-fitting dress perfectly outlined her beautiful curves, and it attracted many eyes.

When everyone was wearing crumpled long-sleeved shirts, Ling Yue's outfit was too dazzling.

Along the way, many unmarried young people even whistled at her.

Ling Yue suppressed the nausea in her heart, and went straight to the cotton maker's shop based on the principle that more things are worse than less things.

These days, everyone's quilts are made by artisans who pluck cotton. Such quilts are durable and can be used for 30 to [-] years if they are kept properly.

It didn't take long for Ling Yue to find him, and asked about Master Liu's shop from him.

Master Liu's shop is not facing the street, but in an alley next to the vegetable market.

When she passed by, Master Liu was planing wood with a plane under the dim incandescent lamp, and there were piles of shavings under his feet.

He was not alone in the room, and a three or four-year-old child was playing with shavings.

As soon as Ling Yue entered the door, she asked, "Are you Master Liu?"

Master Liu looked up at her, "I am, what can you do with me?"

"It's like this. I want to ask you to help me make a cabinet. I need it urgently. When will you be free?"

As soon as he heard that he was here for business, Lao Liu quickly invited him to sit down at the table: "Comrade, what kind of cabinet do you want?"

"It looks like a desk. I use it as a cash register in the store. There must be a drawer with a lock. Except for the place where people stand, the other three sides of the counter must be surrounded by baffles, and there must be a cabinet door underneath. Can put some sundries."

Ling Yue spoke in a more general way. After all, Master Liu is an old master. After listening to it, he probably understood what kind of table she wanted.

He drew a sketch according to what she said: "Look, it's like this."

Master Liu's drawing is rather sloppy, but Ling Yue can still understand it. What he drew is a desk with a cabinet.

"That's not the case. The bottom should be fenced with wooden boards." Ling Yue pointed to the two feet, and then corrected him where he drew the wrong place.

She didn't know how to explain it, so she had to make gestures and gestures: "There is also the countertop, just like this table. I am standing here. There is no baffle on this side, and the other three sides must be surrounded by [-] cm high baffles." on."

Master Liu understood immediately.

"That's easy to say, when do you want it?"

"Of course I want the sooner the better. When is it convenient for you?"

"Do you want to use my material or your material?"

Where does Ling Yue find wood!
"You still have to use your materials."

"I see, how big is your size?"

"Just a little smaller than a normal desk size."

The clothing store is only that big in total, if it is made too big, it will affect the overall appearance, even if there is no decoration at all.

"I usually make double desks. The length is about 1.3 meters, the width is 1.2, and the height is [-] meters."

"I don't need to be so big, sixty wide is fine, ninety long is almost enough, and taller, ninety is enough. But you have to help me paint it white."

Master Liu marked the size on the sketch according to what she said, calculated, and said: "This table costs 25 yuan if labor and materials are included."

"How long will it take to finish?"

"About three days."

Ling Yue paid a deposit of five yuan on the spot: "Okay, I will give you a deposit, and I will pick up the goods in three days."

After finishing solving the cash register, Ling Yue walked around the night market before returning to the family courtyard.

What she didn't know was that there were already many people at the night market, and she was dressed more fashionable, which caused an uproar at that time.

"The short-haired woman just now looks really good. I've seen those pants in the Shanghai market. They cost hundreds of dollars a pair. I didn't expect to see this kind of pants in Qingpu City."

"A pair of trousers cost hundreds of dollars? You are stealing money!"

"Then you don't understand. Now young people in the Shanghai stock market wear it like this. The pants are strong and wear-resistant. I heard it was passed down from the US."

"From the United States? It's imported, no wonder it's so expensive. It seems that this woman is not a good one, and she doesn't manage a house at all."

He was even more daring to stop Ling Yue.

"Comrade, where did you buy these clothes and trousers, they are so beautiful."

Ling Yue didn't want to talk about it at first, but after thinking about it, since he was wearing it and was stopped by others, wouldn't it be possible to make a ready-made advertisement?

"This is the clothes from my own store." She smiled slightly, "It hasn't opened yet, and it will open on September 28 at the most."

"Then how much do you pay for this suit?"

"It's not expensive, this set..." Looking at the other party's eager eyes, Ling Yue's heart sank, "It's only six or seventy yuan."

"hiss!"

There was a sound of inhalation all around.

"So expensive? Six and seventy yuan?!"

Ling Yue still remembered that Zhao Di said that the same style of clothes in the department store would cost seven yuan.

"Pants 66, the same style is available in clothing department stores, but they cost seven yuan."

She said generously, "But I only sell it for five yuan."

"It looks good, but the price is really unaffordable for ordinary people."

Ling Yue smiled, "The quality is here, you can feel it. The quality of these jeans is nothing to say. And the shape is also good, simple, elegant and versatile, and it is a slim fit. It can be matched with a small suit and windbreaker. Everything looks good. Even if I don’t have a small suit, I don’t feel bored with a T-shirt and short sleeves like me.”

When many people hear that a pair of trousers costs 66 yuan, they have already given up their desire to buy.

Hearing Ling Yue's boast, my mind became active again.

Who doesn't want to have a pair of these pants!
"Then where is your shop?"

"The department store has not yet opened yet, and everyone will see it when I finish the decoration. Welcome everyone to shop at that time!"

This is really unintentional.

Originally, I just wanted to find a carpenter to set up a cashier desk, but in the end, I advertised for a store that I didn't open.

It was really worth it to go out today.

When Ling Yue came home, Wang Zhaoyang was sitting at the table eating.

Seeing her coming back, Wang Zhaoyang was about to say hello when he caught a glimpse of her wearing new clothes.

He only felt that his throat was tight and his whole body was hot.

"Xiaoyue, you look so good in this dress!"

Ling Yue pursed her lips and smiled, took the water off the stove, and called Tong Tong: "Tong Tong, we're going to take a shower."

Reluctantly, Tongtong stood up from the stool, and glanced back at the TV every step of the way.

Ling Yue frowned, Tong Tong couldn't do this!

Her original intention of buying a TV was to make Tongtong not too boring at home, but she never thought that Tongtong would be hooked after watching TV for only two days.

Ling Yue walked over and turned off the TV.

"Tongtong, let's take a shower first, and I'll check your vocabulary after the shower."

Wang Zhaoyang assigns Tongtong a new word every day, and does not require her to write well, as long as she can write and read.

Tongtong looked at her aggrieved after hearing this: "Mom, can you not check my new words? The new words that Dad assigned me today are too difficult to write, I can't write."

Ling Yue stared at her: "So, you didn't write any new characters today?"

"I can't write!" Tongtong shouted, "Father wants me to write about the country today, and that country is too difficult to write."

"Tongtong, let's go take a bath first, and then I will ask Dad to teach you how to write."

When Ling Xiaoyue taught Tongtong a lesson, Wang Zhaoyang never talked too much.

In the past, he would find excuses to sneak out, leaving Tongtong alone to face the furious Ling Xiaoyue.

Now he is even less talkative.

After all, it's all for Tongtong's sake. The couple take care of their children, so one has to be a good face and the other a bad face.

Tongtong was still unwilling to leave, and looked at Wang Zhaoyang pitifully: "I want my father to give me a bath."

"Father hasn't finished his meal yet. After he finishes his meal, the water will be cold. Tongtong is obedient, and mother will wash it for you."

Tongtong's stubborn temper suddenly came up, she sat down on the ground and cried loudly: "I don't want my mother to wash, I want my father to wash."

Ling Yue looked at Wang Zhaoyang helplessly, and Wang Zhaoyang swallowed the food in his mouth, "Tongtong is obedient, go take a bath with mom, dad has work to do later."

Tongtong cried even harder.

She didn't dare to look at Ling Yue, and stared at Wang Zhaoyang while crying.

Anyone who sees that aggrieved little appearance will feel pity.

Wang Zhaoyang was defeated, put down the bowls and chopsticks, picked her up and walked downstairs to the water room: "It's okay, okay, Tongtong will stop crying, let's take a bath."

Seeing that she had escaped a catastrophe, Tongtong glanced at Ling Yue from the corner of her eye while sobbing.

Ling Yue didn't have any expression on her face, she just looked at her sullenly.

Tongtong was so frightened that she shrank into Wang Zhaoyang's arms.
