By the end of the morning, Su Xiaoxue had sold seventy or eighty hairpins. Simple designs were popular because they only cost 1.5 cents each.

But the complicated ones also sell quite well, it’s just that people choose them more carefully and then decide on them.

Her thing is novel, and many people are seeing it for the first time. It is also not expensive, only two or three cents each, so naturally some people are willing to buy it.

Even the headbands that Su Xiaoxue thought were difficult to sell received many inquiries, and she sold a total of three in the morning.

It's just that the sun is getting bigger and bigger and it's starting to get hot.

Su Xiaoxue herself was fine, having suffered all kinds of hardships, but she didn't want Xiaofang to suffer with her.

She packed up and said to Xiaofang, "Let's go and have something to eat. I'll treat you. Today is all thanks to you!"

Xiaofang smiled and said, "I didn't help much, how can I be embarrassed?"

"It's okay. I've made money anyway. It's noon now and there aren't many people around. Let's go eat something and take a rest. I plan to go to another place in the afternoon."

Xiaofang thought about it and agreed.

After all, she had just made some money, and Su Xiaoxue wanted to spend it frugally, as she still had to pay back Qin Chi's principal, so she invited Xiaofang to a dumpling restaurant and ordered a serving of dumplings stuffed with pork and leeks.

The dumplings are sold by pound, one yuan for one pound, and Su Xiaoxue ordered one pound.

When the dumplings came, she said to Xiaofang, "I don't make much money now, so I can only treat you to simple dumplings first. When I make a lot of money in the future, I will give you delicious food and spicy drinks."

Xiaofang was very happy and said, "I am so embarrassed. I didn't help you at all, but I came up and ate a pound of your dumplings."

Su Xiaoxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's not like I didn't eat."

A pound of dumplings was actually not enough for the two of them to finish, but after all, it was rare to invite Xiaofang to eat, and Su Xiaoxue didn't want to let her go hungry.

In the end, there was still a lot of food left, so Su Xiaoxue simply packed it up and took it back.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they sat in the dumpling restaurant and watched people coming and going outside.

Su Xiaoxue plans to move to another location to continue selling when the sun is not so hot.

"I may have to finish my sale late and go back, and it will be dark when I get home. I hope it won't bother you?" Su Xiaoxue asked Xiaofang while looking for a place.

Xiaofang shook her head. "It's okay. You treated me to so many meat dumplings, so I have to repay you and help you sell more."

"it is good."

However, before Su Xiaoxue found a seat, she saw a silk shop.

"Wait a minute!" She called Xiaofang and looked towards the silk shop.

Xiaofang was puzzled, "What's wrong, are you going to buy clothes?"

"No."

But she still took Xiaofang in, saying as they walked, "I want to buy some cloth, but not for making clothes."

Her headbands were all solid colors without any decorations. She thought, if she added various fabrics from her clothes to embellish her look, would they sell better?

She also wants to get some beads and sequins.

However, she did not find these things, but only saw some cloths with relatively bright colors.

"Xiaofang, what do you think of this?" Su Xiaoxue held up a piece of light pink polyester cloth with small floral patterns, which is the fabric made of Dacron.

Xiaofang smiled and said, "This color looks good on clothes or skirts. You will definitely charm men when you wear it."

Sisters are more bold in speaking to each other and don’t have so many taboos.

Su Xiaoxue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm not used to make clothes."

Then she asked the shopkeeper for half a meter of cloth.

This kind of cloth is very long when rolled, but one meter wide. Some special cloths are about fifty centimeters wide, depending on the cloth.

When she said she wanted half a meter, the shopkeeper was a little surprised, "You want so little?"

Su Xiaoxue nodded, "That's all I need. I also want to buy some other things."

Although the store owner was curious, he did not specify how much the customer wanted. He was sure that she would not go back on her word, so he cut the amount for her.

Afterwards, Su Xiaoxue bought some yellow and red ones.

Few people buy these two models now, so although they look bright, the price is not much different from the others.

The shopkeeper saw her buying things here and there and asked, "You don't want to make patchwork clothes, do you?"

Su Xiaoxue smiled and said, "Can it still be spliced ​​together?"

The shop owner smiled and said, "Of course you can. It's just like patchwork. If there's not enough fabric, you can just make it by patchwork. But this patchwork is different from patchwork. It's about pursuing international fashion, the trend of big cities, and it's not just any piece. It's very particular."

Su Xiaoxue listened roughly for a while, and after confirming the fabrics she bought, she asked the proprietress, "Aunt, do you have any extra fabric strips that have been cut off? I want to buy some."

The proprietress saw that she really wanted it, so she sold it to her at a very low price of scrap fabric.

In short, Su Xiaoxue bought so many things and only spent four dollars.

However, for Su Xiaoxue, who had little money before, four dollars was really a sky-high price.

As the saying goes, a good cook cannot cook without rice. Without money, you don’t even have any hope.

After packing the cloth, Su Xiaoxue took Xiaofang away.

Xiaofang asked her, "You are not making clothes, what are you doing?"

"I make headbands." Su Xiaoxue asked her, "Did you see the headbands this morning?"

Xiaofang nodded.

"I was thinking, this one is a plain color without any embellishments, it's cheap to sell, I can decorate it, and then I can raise the price."

"That's right."

-

Soon, Su Xiaoxue chose a corner where the sun didn't shine to sell hairpins.

There weren't many people at the beginning. After all, it was just afternoon and some people were sleeping, some were working, some were busy, and only a few were shopping.

But Su Xiaoxue still sold two or three.

For her, it was so exciting to sell so many hairpins on the first day.

Around 3 or 4 in the afternoon, when the sun wasn't so strong, more people started to come.

The two were still busy introducing things and collecting money. If some people bought more, Su Xiaoxue would give them a cent or two cheaper.

When the sun was setting, more and more people came, especially many people passing by after get off work, or buying groceries and other things.

Some people found it strange and simply gathered around to watch.

It happened to be time to get off work at the factory, and many female employees came over curiously after hearing that there were cheap hairpins for sale here.

"Look, the hairpins here are pretty!" the young woman's voice rang out, and her companions also looked over.

Su Xiaoxue greeted the customers with a smile, "Come and choose. I have many styles, all of which are brought from the provincial capital. They are all popular styles this year, beautiful and not expensive."

Soon someone asked, “How much is this?”

"These hairpins are 20 cents, and the simple push-on hairpins on the other side are 15 cents. You can choose all the styles yourself."

As for the headband, Su Xiaoxue has already put it away. She plans to dress it up and sell it for a higher price.

Soon, several female comrades had chosen four or five.

Su Xiaoxue actively counted the money for them and gave them change. A sneering voice came from her ear: "Does this look good?"
