Chapter 348 Street stall

Chapter 348. Street stall

She left her two little girls to play below. Zhou Xiao Mei went upstairs to find her fourth sister-in-law.

"What’s the matter? Have you eaten yet?" Lin Qing He uttered when she saw her.

"I will eat with you later." Zhou Xiao Mei didn’t act like an outsider.

Lin Qing He nodded and smiled: "How’s the business?"

Su Da Lin and Zhou Xiao Mei were very hard-working. The bun shop stayed open in the morning until after dinner before they close. Almost open for the whole day.

"Pretty good." When talking about her business, a smile lit up on Zhou Xiao Mei’s face.

It was almost the end of October now and it was nearly the second month since they came here. The first month they made more than 100, which was like a reassurance pill for her and her Da Lin.

This month’s earning made it evident to Zhou Xiao Mei how profitable this bun shop was.

Su Da Lin was a diligent person. He had bought a tricycle this month. In the morning, he left the shop to Zhou Xiao Mei’s care. His mother-in-law, Mother Zhou would often come to help.

As for himself, he rode the tricycle out to sell buns.

He used a foam box with a layer of two clean cloths inside. Then he grabbed some oiled paper for the buns and he can do his business.

The business was really good.

Combining with the shop, this month, which had yet to end, had exceeded 200 yuan.

How can Zhou Xiao Mei not be overjoyed?

"Work hard and you won’t do badly in the future." Lin Qing He nodded.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, Sheng Mei went to watch TV at home yesterday and said you opened another clothing store." Zhou Xiao Mei spoke.

"I’m just messing around." Lin Qing He smilingly answered.

"What messing around!? Fourth Sister-in-law, why are you so brilliant?" Zhou Xiao Mei uttered enviously: "If only I could be as good as Fourth Sister-in-law!"

Her fourth sister-in-law was truly a female of the new era. There was nothing she can’t do. She was even better than men.

Her fourth sister-in-law opened a dumpling shop. She didn’t know how the dumpling shop’s business was, the bun shop can be used as a comparison.

At most, it can also earn more than 200 yuan. Although it was a lot, it definitely cannot compare to the clothing store.

Zhou Er Ni didn’t say anything. However, Xu Sheng Mei did say when it’s busy, the clothing store can make two to three thousand yuan a month.

Of course, there were expenses and so on to consider. Still, the profits will certainly not be low.

Otherwise, her fourth sister-in-law couldn’t open one at the beginning of the year and another at the end of this year, right?

Zhou Xiao Mei guessed it right. The profit of the clothing store was indeed huge. That’s why when Lin Qing He heard that Ma Cheng Min had been laid off, she recruited him.

Regarding the profit of the women’s clothing store. Because of the addition of a small workshop, the profit had increased a lot as there was no middleman.

At the peak, the profit of the clothing store was close to 3,000 yuan.

So adding a men’s clothing store was no problem. Anyway opening one store was still opening. Same for two stores.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, what do you think of me getting some clothes from your small clothing factory and set up a street stall in the plaza in the evening?" Zhou Xiao Mei said.

Lin Qing He smiled: "What small clothing factory? It’s a small workshop." Then she continued, "Of course, you can take it. But can you handle so much?"

Su Da Lin had to get up super early in the morning. Although he can rest at noon, he was still tired. It was better to rest early in the evening.

"I definitely can. How much money can a piece make?" Zhou Xiao Mei asked.

"I can let you profit three dimes and give you five pieces a day." Lin Qing He grinningly stated when she saw that she was really interested.

Three dimes per piece weren’t much, but it wasn’t little either. Not to mention there were five pieces to sell. If she can sell two or three pieces each night, it was almost an average person’s salary.

"Alright." Zhou Xiao Mei didn’t dislike the condition, so she agreed.

Counting the days, how long had she not gone to work to make money?

When she used to have a job, it was only slightly over 20 yuan a month. It wasn’t too much. Only half of Su Da Lin’s.

But even if it was only twenty or so, she had earned by herself. She felt mentally satisfied.

There was nothing wrong with being a housewife at home. It was just Zhou Xiao Mei, who was used to earning, wanted to have her own job now.

That day, she ate with them at the dumpling shop. After eating, she brought five pieces of clothes back. She left the children to Father Zhou and Mother Zhou to mind. Zhou Xiao Mei pulled Su Da Lin away to set up a street stall.

With five pieces of clothes, she can start hawking her ware.

Su Da Lin didn’t have any objections. The bun shop was very stable and won’t do badly, but since his wife wanted to make some earning, then go for it.

There were only five pieces of clothes. At this time, the stall business was very popular.

Zhou Xiao Mei found a place with a lot of people, and loudly advertised: "New clothes! Brand new directly from the manufacturer. They’re sold at a lower price. Anyone who is interested can come and take a look."

The five pieces of clothes were in five styles and colors. Whether it was quality or style, they were all very top-notch.

Soon, people came to check them out. They didn’t necessarily have buy it when they saw it. Still, five pieces of clothes were finally sold.

Five pieces of clothing earned her one and a half yuan. Zhou Xiao Mei was greatly pleased.

This took less than an hour.

"Da Lin, the money in the capital is so easy to earn!" Zhou Xiao Mei was in a merry mood.

Su Da Lin just smiled.

His heart finally gained peace which wasn’t there before.

When they first came, he felt really uneasy. But being the capital for the past two months, he deeply realized that as long as he wasn’t lazy, he can still make money and support his family.

"I’m going to ask Fourth Sister-in-law if I can get more clothes." Zhou Xiao Mei said.

She went to find her fourth sister-in-law the next day.

Lin Qing He understood from her behavior that had sold out the clothes.

"Fourth Sister-in-law, can you give me more clothes from your small factory? I want to take more." Zhou Xiao Mei spoke.

"My side can’t do it. There are two shops." Lin Qing He explained: "But if you want the clothes I got from the clothes factory, I can give you in bulk. However, the profit is only two dimes."

She brought the goods from the clothing factory, so the price was naturally high. Lin Qing He did not plan to give it to Zhou Xiao Mei according to that price.

Because she also had to make money. Every time it was Zhou Qing Bai and her who talked to Wang Yuan about the contract. Wang Yuan’s factory was only found after she and Zhou Qing Bai had changed factory several times.

Those factories from before weren’t good factories.

The most important thing was that if these clothes weren’t wholesaled to Zhou Xiao Mei, her shop can also take them on. The reason why they were wholesaled to Zhou Xiao Mei was to give her some sweetness as the two of them had a good relationship.

If it were another? See if she would give wholesale price and give away profit?.

So don’t say that she was black-hearted. This was business. It was also a mutually beneficial business. She will not have any arrogant mentality because she gave up so much profit. Zhou Xiao Mei had the earned money through her own efforts. It was a win-win.
