After being abandoned by the educated youth, I became rich in the 80s

As soon as she arrived at the counter, Lan Xin asked the salesperson how many styles of fabrics they had. It was the first time the salesperson had seen Lan Xin speak so arrogantly.

She glanced at Lan Xin, raised her chin proudly and said, "My counter has more than 30 kinds of fabrics. It can be said that it is the place with the most goods in Shanghai."

"There are cotton, plain, twill, Dacron, satin, chiffon, linen, chemical fiber, etc. We even have blended fabrics."

The salesperson was worthy of pride, and Mrs. Lan was delighted to hear what she said about the fabrics.

After all, she had only heard of so many fabrics, but had never seen them. In remote small towns, there were many things that could not be bought even if one had money, so the Shanghai market was still better.

The salesperson mentioned a lot of fabric names, but Lan Xin was confused. She looked at the pieces of fabric on display and asked.

"Can I see what colors these fabrics come in?"

After all, things like large intestine circle head flowers must be made of fluffy, textured and brightly colored fabrics, but Lan Xin didn't know much about this, so she could only look at them and feel the familiar feel.

The sales clerks in the mall were not as arrogant as the people in the supply and marketing cooperative. Even though Lan Xin and Lan Dasao looked plain, like ordinary country people, she did not do anything to look down on them.

He smiled warmly, reached out and pulled Lan Xin to the counter.

"Sure, sir, come in and take a look. We have a lot of fabrics. I'm sure there's something you'll like."

Lan Xin:......

She was so tired, so after buying the fabrics, she went to the area selling skin care products.

She wants it all, whether it’s skin care, moisturizing, whitening, anti-aging, wrinkle reduction, or turning grey hair black!

She doesn't want to continue living in this old state.

After entering the counter, he looked at the bored Lan brothers outside and said, "Why don't you go shopping somewhere else in the mall."

As she spoke, Lan Xin handed Yingying and Yueyue to Brother Lan and Little Brother Lan, took out a dozen yuan, and told them to go shopping in the mall first and come in after they finished their work.

Seeing this huge amount of money, Brother Lan's eyes lit up!

He nodded repeatedly, pulled Yingying and Yueyue, one in each hand and ran away. The two little girls were happy to play with their uncle, and Brother Lan followed slowly behind them.

After sending the child away, Lan Xin and her partner began to slowly look at the fabrics.

Mrs. Lan touched here and there, and after asking the price, she simply pulled out a few feet of cloth and spoke happily to Lan Xin.

"Lan Xin, this cloth is a good deal, and it will look good when made into clothes. You can buy more."

Lan Xin felt guilty. At most, she could do some small handicrafts, or make a straight skirt or something. How could she make something as difficult as making clothes?

From now on, she and Yingying and Yueyue can only buy ready-made clothes.

Fortunately, the economy is developing now, and the best-selling and most abundant item is clothes, so Lan Xin is not too worried.

The salesperson at the side was also recommending with a smile and talking non-stop, which made Mrs. Lan excited again.

However, she suppressed her impulse, revealed her frugal nature, stretched out her hand and began to calculate.

"One for my mother-in-law, one for my parents, and one for my two children. It's so cheap, I can pull a few more feet to prepare as dowry..."

Lan Xin had no intention of continuing to listen to Mrs. Lan's account book. She went straight to the counter and saw the most colorful pieces of cloth. She touched a few of them and finally decided on the last one.

This fabric is great, it’s very stiff and wrinkle-resistant, and it’s also very fluffy. When rolled up into a ball it looks like a flower.

Lan Xin fell in love with the fabric at first sight. She thought it would be so popular if it was made into a hairband.

"Does this fabric come in other colors?"

"We only have this bright red color." The salesperson looked up and shook his head as he cut the cloth for Mrs. Lan. "This cloth is not very comfortable to wear. Not many people buy it, so we don't have much stock."

"Well, this fabric is not comfortable to wear as clothes, but it will look very nice as a headpiece."

Lan Xin felt a little regretful, because she had twenty boxes of circles, and if she made them all red, it would be hard to sell them no matter how beautiful they looked.

"Why don't you take a look at other fabrics?" The salesperson raised his chin, pointed at other fabrics, and said he would do anything to win Lan Xin's business.

Lan Xin went over and touched it again. The other fabrics were acceptable, but as soon as the salesperson told her the price, Lan Xin immediately started calculating in her mind.

She gave Li Hongwei two hundred yuan for twenty boxes of things, plus the fabrics, labor, and subsequent sales venue fees, transportation costs, etc., hiss... there isn't much profit in the end.

She only sells one hairband for one dollar at most, and the total cost needs to be controlled at around 30 or 40 cents in order to make a profit.

It's not cost-effective to use these fabrics, and their colors are very monotonous.

The salesperson saw Lan Xin's dilemma, and when she heard that she wanted to make hair ornaments to sell, she smiled and said, "Why would you need such expensive fabrics to make a few small hair ornaments? You can just use some fabric scraps for making clothes."

He looked at Lan Xin as if she was a fool. How much money could one make from making hair ornaments? It was just a few cents for each one. He had to use the cloth worth dozens of dollars to make one. He must be crazy.

The salesperson's words gave Lan a flash of inspiration. Maybe she could go to the garment factory or the textile factory and buy some scraps of fabric.

Lan Xin had made up her mind, and her sister-in-law Lan had already picked out enough things. After hesitating for such a long time, she finally bought only three batches of cloth.

According to her, one portion should be given to her mother-in-law, one portion to her mother, one portion to the children at home, and as for the rest, the clothes can still be worn, so she shouldn't waste money on them.

The fabric she chose was also the most cost-effective in her opinion.

Seeing Lan Xin with nothing in her hands, Sister Lan asked curiously, "Why, you didn't find anything you like? Didn't you say you wanted to buy fabric for that?"

Lan Xin shook her head. "It's not appropriate. I plan to go to the garment factory or textile factory to see the situation."

Mrs. Lan didn't quite understand these things, but she knew a lot about how the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law get along and the social etiquette. She glanced at Lan Xin and gave her a subtle reminder.

"Lan Xin, don't you plan to buy some cloth for Mom? Don't you plan to bring her some gifts when you go home?"

She reminded Lan Xin that her family now thought that she had found Zhou Rongxin and reunited with him, and that the whole family was living together in Shanghai. But in the end, they all went back home. Their family must be furious, and other people in the village were also laughing at them.

Buying some things back can at least calm down the family members' anger, and allow them to show off in the village and shut up other people.

Lan Xin held her chin and thought for a while, and realized that this was indeed the case.

Lan Xin's parents didn't say anything, but her other brothers and sisters would definitely be angry, thinking that she came back to continue to rely on their parents and ruin the family's reputation.

If you give them a small gift when you come back from a trip, it can not only dispel their anger, but also shut them up.

After all, when it comes to being soft-hearted and dealing with the world, Lan Xin is still not as good as Sister Lan.
