The whole family travels through time and space, and the three of them struggle together

After counting the money, the family left the embroidery workshop. Zhou Sisi thought, Grandma has finally finished her business, right?

Finally, Chen's mother took them to the cloth shop again. She called over the shop assistant and asked for the prices of various coarse cloths. Then, with a wave of her hand, she ordered three bolts of blue coarse cloth for boys, one bolt of pink coarse cloth for girls, seven bolts of dark coarse cloth for men, two bolts of cyan coarse cloth for women, and one bolt of brown coarse cloth. Sixteen kilograms of cotton.

Zhou Dajiang was confused, "Mother-in-law, what are you buying these coarse cloths for?"

Mother Chen glanced at him sideways and said, "Of course it's to make clothes! The weather is getting cold, and it's time for everyone to buy winter clothes."

How come this son-in-law is getting worse as he gets older? He can't even see such an obvious problem. He has no vision!

Zhou Dajiang explained: "I know you always want to make winter clothes, but there's no need to buy so many, right?"

"Why not? There are eight people in your family and six in mine, so that's how much we need." Mother Chen was not very patient.

Zhou Dajiang was really anxious this time, "How can we let you buy our clothes? I'll pay for it!" After saying that, he rushed to pay.

Mother Chen glanced at him indifferently, "Don't argue. This money was paid by Sisi and me. You don't need to pay. If the money is not enough, you can pay more."

Zhou Sisi was puzzled, "Why do I have anything to do with this? I don't have any money." Her father always paid for her purchases, so where did she get the money?

"Of course there is. Didn't grandma just sell your paintings for patterns? Let's spend that money!" Mother Chen was quite patient with Zhou Sisi and explained seriously.

The father and son suddenly realized that Chen's mother was actually trying to get something for nothing. She collected Zhou Sisi's unwanted paintings and sold them as flower arrangements. Then she used the money to buy cloth for everyone to make winter clothes. This idea was unique.

In the end, not only was there enough money, but there was still thirty coins left. It seemed that the price had been calculated when the blueprints were sold.

As expected, old ginger is still spicy! Your grandma will always be your grandma!

After buying everything she wanted, Chen's mother was satisfied. She asked someone to send the things to Cheng's house on West Street, and she also wanted to go to the bookstore for a walk.

Zhou Dajiang was familiar with the place and led the two people to Qiancheng Study as if they were familiar with the place.

It was not yet noon when they arrived, so they thought there would be fewer people. However, they were stopped before they could even enter.

"You guys are here to buy picture albums too, right? See? There's a line. You can't cut in line. Go to the back and line up!"

Zhou Dajiang was stunned and quickly waved his hands to say that he didn't want to buy anything, and then he was let in.

The three of them walked in and saw that the shelf where the books were placed yesterday was empty. Instead, there was a long queue starting from that bookshelf, and people lined up outside the door.

"What's going on?" Zhou Dajiang grabbed a clerk and asked curiously.

"What else could it be?" someone nearby interrupted. "I heard there's a picture book called 'The Land of Strange Animals' for sale here. It's so good! Look, everyone's lining up to buy it for their masters."

The clerk who was caught also explained: "Originally, the store bound 50 books, thinking it would be enough for a month's sales. However, they sold out in one day yesterday. We have already asked someone to speed up the binding. Unexpectedly, people came to line up to buy books early in the morning before the books were delivered."

Zhou Sisi was so happy when she heard this. She tugged at Zhou Dajiang's clothes, tilted her head up and said happily, "Did you hear that? It's so beautiful!"

Zhou Dajiang and Chen's mother looked at each other and both smiled with relief.

Zhou Dajiang tapped his daughter's forehead and said, "You're the best! Okay?"

Then he added, "Let's wait here for a while. If you see that it's busy later, you can lend a hand."

Chen's mother and Zhou Sisi didn't care either. They went to the study to read other books. Only Zhou Dajiang waited at the counter. During this time, he enthusiastically helped the clerk maintain order.

Finally, a batch of newly bound albums arrived at the store. The staff hurriedly moved the albums to the shelves, and people began to buy them in an orderly manner.

Many people, after paying, went to the doll counter. Because most of the dolls were sold yesterday, and there were too many people buying picture books, everyone was busy maintaining order, so there was no staff at the counter.

Seeing the situation, Zhou Dajiang went to the doll counter and helped sell the dolls by using his identity as a clerk from yesterday.

Zhou Dajiang greeted the customer with a warm smile: "Hello! Which dolls would you like to choose?"

The person in front of the line originally only wanted to buy a doll, but when Zhou Dajiang asked this, he pointed to two dolls and asked them to take them down for a look.

Zhou Dajiang took down two dolls and handed them to the man, saying slowly, "You're really lucky to be able to pick one. But let me tell you, there are only a few left. The next batch won't arrive for at least two weeks. Those who are behind in the queue will probably only be able to get a pre-sale number."

When the man heard this, he was so picky that he quickly asked Zhou Dajiang to pack both for him and ordered three more, wanting to buy them all. Didn't he hear that they would be sold out later? If he could buy five and sell them to others at a high price, he could still make a profit!

As a result, Zhou Dajiang only took one down for him and said apologetically to the other party: "I'm sorry, due to limited inventory, in order to allow other people to buy it, this series of dolls in our store can only be sold in limited quantities. One person can only buy a maximum of three. These are your three. Please take a look. If there is no problem, I will pack it for you. Please pay here. Thank you!" He pointed to the cashier next to him.

After Zhou Dajiang did this, the people who came to buy the dolls immediately became nervous, fearing that the dolls would be sold out by the time it was their turn.

People have a strange mentality: the scarcer something is, the more intensely they fight for it. As a result, the dolls were soon sold out.

Those who didn't buy it were all sighing with regret, just a few people away and it was gone...

Zhou Dajiang has seen many such scenes in modern times. He calmly guided the crowd. Those who wanted to buy dolls could go to the counter next door to pay a deposit of ten cents, and then ask him to issue a number with the receipt. For those who got the number, the next batch of goods would be reserved in advance, ensuring that everyone could buy it.

If you don’t want to buy it, you can also take a look at other products in the store.

The doll, originally inexpensive, became a hot commodity thanks to his manipulation. Those who bought it were ecstatic, and the first twenty people who bought books yesterday were even happier; they got the doll for free!

Cheng Fang was also in the store today. After the album arrived, he helped collect money at the counter.

Seeing that the work was almost done, he stepped out from the counter, walked up to Chen's mother, and said cheerfully, "Sister, your son-in-law is really a business genius. With all his operations, I have to raise the price!" After all, rare goods are valuable.

Chen's mother also laughed: "Yeah, I have to raise the price too! We are short of manpower and can't handle it."

Zhou Sisi listened to the conversation between the two and secretly complained in her heart, I have four words that I don’t know whether I should say or not.

Very cunning!

At this time, a shop assistant replaced Zhou Dajiang. He also walked over and saw Mr. Cheng and Chen's mother talking, so he greeted them.

Cheng Fang smiled and said to Zhou Dajiang, "Your idea is really brilliant. Not only did it make the dolls popular, it also boosted sales of other products in the store."

Zhou Dajiang smiled modestly and said, "These are just petty tricks, not worth mentioning in front of you.

However, we can't just focus on immediate profits; we also need to consider long-term development. After this wave of enthusiasm, the city will probably enter a period of stability, and we need to expand to other areas. Only by expanding sales and building a good reputation can we attract more customers."

Cheng Fang and Chen's mother also nodded in agreement, and the two of them took the opportunity to finalize the next order.

Because Cheng Fang was going to promote the book to the capital, the number of dolls had increased several times, with more than twenty kinds of dolls, 200 for each of the main characters, and 100 for each of the other characters. The wire rings were not added, and they would have to wait until this batch of books arrived in the capital and the headquarters responded before placing an additional order.

Zhou Sisi saw that they were getting more and more excited in their conversation, and secretly sighed in her heart, these people with business acumen can talk about business anywhere!
