Daming 1805

Chapter 291 Do you want to do it!
Aoxue tried on the clothes she chose, and she was quite satisfied with the feeling on her upper body.

But now there is no pantyhose, the calf is completely exposed, and the bottom half of the short cotton socks looks very awkward.

At the same time, she was thinking of going back to "buy goods" to make money, so Aoxue changed the clothes after making sure they fit her.

After registering the information, paying the money, carrying the package of clothes, and taking the bus back to the park.

Put the clothes and shoes you bought home first, and then go to the factory area to find your family.

I couldn't find them in the store for female workers, but I finally saw my sister when I came to the store for male workers.

My two brothers, following my parents, were looking at the fabrics for men's clothes in the shop.

My sister seemed bored, so she stood at the door of the store and looked around.

After a very short consideration, Aoxue decided not to ask her family for help.

As long as I pay some cost, I can find strangers and other workers to help buy.

Aoxue turned her head and left, ready to go back to the shop for female workers and ask others to help buy goods.

As a result, Ling Shuang had already spotted her sister, and subconsciously chased after her:
"Sister, why did you come out again? Why did you leave again when you saw us?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Aoxue sighed leisurely, and turned around helplessly.

Meeting the younger sister Ling Shuang who was running over, she took out a ten-yuan bill:

"Go, use your label, buy two pairs of three-dollar pantyhose, and the rest of the money is yours."

Ling Shuang was a little confused by her sister's behavior:
"What do you mean? Why do you want pantyhose? Why is the rest of the money mine? Where did you get so much money?"

Aoxue looked around, pulled her sister to the side of the shop, and whispered in her ear where no one was paying attention:
"Someone buys this kind of thing outside, and two of them will make you four yuan, isn't that a very simple matter?
"Hurry up and get it, remember not to let your parents and brothers know..."

Ling Shuang basically understood, but she had some doubts:
"With your character, if you are willing to let me earn four yuan, then you must earn more than four yuan."

Aoxue said with a straight face:

"Don't ask so many questions. Are you not satisfied with picking up four yuan silver bills for nothing? This is your wages for several days."

Ling Shuang also said with a straight face:

"Tell me what's going on, who bought those pantyhose, or I'll report you to Director Hao.

"According to the Safety and Disciplinary Education Section, you are at least reselling employee benefits.

"It may even be considered smuggling, and it may even be regarded as reselling.

"If the buyer is a foreigner, if the circumstances are serious, it may be dealt with in accordance with foreign regulations."

Aoxue finally confirmed that her behavior was indeed against the rules.

And the level of violation seems a bit serious.

It's too serious.

The profits are indeed very high, and the risks are indeed equally high.

Aoxue listened to her sister's warnings and threats, and thought about the consequences of that violation, her face darkened completely:

"I shouldn't have told you!"

Ling Shuang grabbed her sister's arm:

"It's more dangerous if you don't tell me! If you don't listen to the class well, you don't even know if it's a violation of the rules.

"If it is really counted as reselling, if the target is someone from Xiyi, if they are found out, they may be directly demoted to slave labor!

"Hurry up and report on the buyer with me now, and get rid of your relationship!"

Aoxue struggled to break free from her younger sister's hand:

"It's useless, I've already sold it once, otherwise where do you think the ten yuan bill came from?

"And, do you know how much that thing can sell for? Twenty silver bills! A price difference of more than six times!

"I can give you half of the money, and I will pay you directly at the price of ten yuan a piece.

"If you don't do it, then I'll go find someone else, and don't make trouble for me."

Now Ling Shuang was also stunned:
"Twenty silver bills? This is our monthly salary. How can this thing be so expensive? It's unreasonable."

Aoxue said impatiently:

"How do I know why? You just say whether you will do it or not!"

Ling Shuang felt that her sister was completely over the top, and even she was a little bit over the top, but she quickly calmed down:

"You don't know what's going on, how dare you really do it? What if the other party is deliberately setting you up?
"Why do ordinary people carry bills as big as ten yuan with them?"

The ten-yuan silver bill, converted according to purchasing power, is at least 1000 yuan in later generations, and few people use such a large bill.

When the factory area paid Aoxue's wages, they always issued twenty one-yuan bills.

Reduce the damage to workers caused by counterfeit banknotes.

Aoxue was obviously taken aback when she heard this, and felt that there seemed to be something wrong with it, but it was not impossible to explain it reasonably.

Lin Na, an orchid, should be selling factory benefits, not just a random idea after seeing her pantyhose.

That's why she carried a large amount of banknotes with her, and claimed that she could buy three of them directly for the price of 20 yuan silver notes.

If the other party is specialized in buying and reselling, then she must have her own contacts and money for the purchase.

The key is a network that is not easy to be found, otherwise, you can't continue to work in Dawang's shop.

In any case, Aoxue still couldn't resist the temptation to earn six times the price difference.

So after thinking for a few seconds, Aoxue continued to ask her sister:
"I've already made a fortune, so you can tell me whether you want to do it or not. If you don't do it, I'll really go find someone else."

Ling Shuang said with a straight face:

"If you dare to resell it again, I will really go to Director Hao and report you!"

Aoxue also replied with a straight face:

"If you really want to send your sister to slave labor, you can report on me."

Aoxue felt that it was impossible for her younger sister to really report on her. After all, she was her own older sister, and it would not do her any good to go in by herself.

After Aoxue finished speaking, she ran away from the scene regardless of how her sister yelled.

Go back to the front of the park store for female workers again, and ask the surrounding female workers to help me buy pantyhose.

The simplest excuse is that I like this kind of clothes, but the store limits the number of purchases, so I have to find someone to buy them for me.

You can pay for your hard work, and if you buy two of them together, you will be given a one-yuan silver bill.

Some workers felt that this kind of thing might violate the regulations. The key point is that they didn't know Aoxue, so they instinctively refused.

But there are also workers who can't resist this temptation. After all, they can earn a dollar bill just by walking a few steps.

Aoxue quickly got four pairs of three-yuan pantyhose, which cost a total of 14 yuan including the purchase price and hard work.

"One twenty silver bill, four is eighty silver bills, four months' wages..."

Aoxue held four paper bags that were not delicate, and her fingers were involuntarily sweating slightly.

The excitement in my heart is hard to contain, but there is no stop under my feet.

Immediately ran out of the park again, ready to take the bus to the city, and quickly finalized the transaction and got the money.

It could turn out to be because the shift happened to be staggered, or because the bus was late.

Aoxue waited and waited but couldn't wait for the car, and she was very anxious while waiting.

Standing under the stop sign, Aoxue kept looking left and right, and finally saw her workshop director, Hao Zhongyi.

Director Hao rode his bicycle along the road to the direction of the county.

Aoxue looked at Hao Zhongyi who was gradually going away, and subconsciously muttered to herself:

"If only I had a bicycle, it's not fast, but it's convenient.

"No need to crowd the bus with everyone else...

"The point is, the feeling of walking alone in the wind... the feeling makes me feel happy just thinking about it...

"My parents seem to want to buy a bike too, maybe I can get my own first."

It's not that Aoxue didn't think about bicycles before, it's just that she wasn't rich enough to buy a car by herself.

It takes more than two months' wages to buy a bicycle, so it is better to buy more clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics.

Now that I have money, it should be said that I may have money.

It just so happened that I couldn't wait for the bus again, and this idea no longer rose uncontrollably.

Aoxue began to look around, and saw many people on bicycles one after another.

Most of them are men, and occasionally women can be seen.

The bicycle that the woman rides is obviously much lower, the wheels are obviously smaller, and the color is more vivid.

The key is that the big bar is bent down to the bottom, and it is not a problem to ride in a skirt.

"Ladies bicycle is also Dawang's idea, riding on it is so elegant, I must have one..."

Aoxue's attention was diverted, time seemed to speed up, and the bus finally arrived.

Aoxue immediately rushed into the car, rushed to the county seat again, got off the car directly at the Dashi clothing store, and went in to find Lin Na.

Aoxue is an old customer that Lin Na has received. When she comes in again, no matter who is welcoming the guests outside the door, she has to transfer to Lin Na to continue to be in charge of the node.

Lin Na led Aoxue around the store, chose a coat at random, and went into the fitting room together.

Lin Na casually put the coat on the hanger:

"Did you bring something?"

Aoxue handed over the package in her hand:

"It's all here."

Lin Na took the package, took out the contents, held it in her hands and observed it, her eyes were about to shine.

Lin Na also immediately discovered that there were a total of four items in this bag.

I said before that I can only buy three directly, and wait seven days for the rest, because I don't have enough money.

But facing the goods that had arrived, Lin Na didn't want to give up, so her tone was quite difficult, and she said reluctantly:

"I... have seventy silver bills left on me, so the total price of the four bills is seventy?"

Aoxue ignored this bargaining behavior and directly took one back from her hand.

Lin Na didn't stop her, but still said with some reluctance:
"I didn't mean to lower the price on purpose, but I really only have more than 70 silver bills in cash.

"I can give you seventy yuan first, and make up for the missing ten yuan in the next transaction.

Aoxue still ignored it, chatted about the skirt and sat on the chair, ready to put the new pair of socks on her body directly.

Lin Na finally couldn't help but put forward the final plan:

"I bought you that pair of worn socks before, and I added a five-dollar silver bill to exchange for your new one."

Aoxue finally smiled:

"Add ten yuan."

Lin Na was immediately unhappy:
"This is equivalent to...the last one is the price of 25 yuan silver bills, but the price we are talking about is [-] yuan!"

Aoxue smiled and said:
"You bought my pantyhose for $15 because it was worth $15 to you.

"But to me it's worth two yuan, after all, it's not brand new, and it's been poured twice.

"Of course I can't spend a 15-dollar bill and buy a pair of socks from you that someone has worn.

"I'll go directly to the store in the park now. Wouldn't it be nice to buy a new one for three yuan?"

Aoxue is very good at talking nonsense, making people feel that the truth is indeed this truth, and this situation is indeed a fact.

After thinking and struggling for a long time, Lin Na finally accepted Aoxue's deal.

75 yuan silver bills, buy three new ones, and one with wear marks.

85 yuan silver bill, buy four new ones.

Between these two options, Lin Na finally chose the latter.

The main reason is that the final customers of this kind of things are relatively well-known people, and the new ones are much better than the worn ones.

Lin Na had considered before that if she couldn't sell that pair of clothes, she would keep them for herself.

It is still decided to give up this extravagant idea.

Lin Na went to get the money and the pantyhose she kept, and handed them to Aoxue, a toothache-inducing woman.

When Aoxue took the 70 yuan bill, her heart couldn't control the thumping.

Holding the banknotes in his hand and inspecting them carefully, the palms of his hands were constantly sweating.

"I finally got it, really got it, 70 yuan..."

Aoxue sat there and checked for at least 5 minutes, confirming that there was no problem with the money, and at the same time managed to calm herself down.

Aoxue put away the banknotes separately, and put the taken back pantyhose into her bag.

After tidying up the hem of the skirt, no, he let out a long breath, stood up and looked at Lin Na:

"I'll go out and look at the clothes..."

If you have money, then of course you have to shop. For Aoxue, this is a matter of course.

Especially, in this special store, I can really experience the feeling of being a rich lady.

"Please...you come with me..."

Lin Na instinctively agreed, and looked at the woman in front of her with a complicated expression.

Lin Na could tell that Aoxue was not very rich, but maybe just an ordinary worker.

When she got so much money, she was obviously very excited.

But she gives people the impression that she spends and treats money like a very rich lady from a rich family.

Lin Na led Aoxue back to the hall and continued to look at the clothes.

Aoxue already has seventy silver bills in her hands, which is enough to order a relatively high-end suit.

Still, Aoxue doesn't like custom-made clothes, and doesn't like the feeling of waiting.

Aoxue looked at several sets of clothes in a row, and after specifically asking about the price, she asked back with some displeasure:
"Do all of you ready-made clothes only have the lowest end?"

Lin Na has regained her composure and resumed her usual attitude of serving customers, and explained to Aoxue quite seriously:

"Of course the ready-to-wear in the store is not the lowest-end, and the materials of the ready-to-wear are actually very good.

"It's not cheap to sell ready-made clothing directly to the outside world, it's only when the employees in the park buy it that it looks particularly cheap.

"Also, employees can only enjoy the discount twice, that is, they can only buy two sets of clothes in total.

"Beyond this limit, the ready-made clothes you chose before cost more than 30 silver bills to buy.

"If you want to use the same material to order, you need sixty silver bills to start.

"Our store focuses on customization, and we only choose this best-selling range for ready-to-wear."

The best-selling range...

Aoxue finally realized that even if she got a huge sum of seventy silver bills, it was only enough to order a set of clothes in this shop that were not the lowest end, but were considered "best sellers".

The things in this shop can be said to be extremely expensive, which is not what a person like me should come to.

If it weren't for the employee benefits provided by the king, coming here by myself would only be a shame.

Not to mention enjoying the treatment like ladies and ladies here.

Moreover, the huge sum of money I got was actually earned through employee benefits.

It was the king who gave him the qualification to experience the life of a rich lady here...

Aoxue's mood gradually became a little complicated, but this did not affect her enthusiasm for shopping, and even increased her enthusiasm.

Using her second preferential right, Aoxue chose a whole new set of clothes.

It is the one she thinks is the most "coquettish", a white double-breasted lapel shirt that fits the body, a black coat that is also slim, a tube skirt that wraps around the thighs on the buttocks, black high-heeled shoes with a height of seven centimeters, and a gift tie.

Aoxue has more money in her hands, which gives her the courage to face her mother's anger.

When she went to the fitting room to try it on again, Aoxue realized that she didn't need to buy this kind of clothes in a bigger size.

Because this top, shirt, and tube skirt are all blended fabrics with stretch silk, they all have a certain degree of elasticity.

If you deliberately choose the most suitable size, even a size slightly smaller, you should be able to wear it.

But the clothes will fit the body better and make the body contour more obvious.

More coquettish.

Aoxue usually buys clothes in medium and standard sizes, which are in a slightly looser range.

Now that I have such an idea, after a very short hesitation, I asked Lin Na to change to the "medium-slim" model.

Today's women in Ming Dynasty are generally thinner, so the slim style with narrowed medium size is also the standard equipment of Dashi firm's ready-to-wear.

After putting it on, Aoxue found that it really fit the body very well, with a feeling of complete outline.

If the fabric is not elastic, you may be able to wear it yourself, but you may not be able to move, and the thread may collapse.

But with elasticity, you can maintain this feeling, and you can still move relatively normally.

Aoxue looked at her own body outline in the mirror, and felt that she had discovered the reason why the elastic fabric was used for this kind of clothes.

If it was really designed by the king himself, then his own king is really...so wise.

Aoxue subconsciously wanted to wear this dress and go back.

But looking at the foundation that had been basically spent on his face and the sweat stains on his forehead, he finally put away his clothes.

Register personal information, pay to go out, go shopping.

I bought a few pieces of simple jewelry and a set of rather high-end cosmetics.

Then I went to the bicycle store, spent 42 yuan in silver notes and 320 copper notes, and bought a lady's bicycle.

Zhu Jingyuan guided the improvement of the new bicycle, which is basically the same shape as a modern leisure bicycle.

The big bar that bends down to the bottom, the delicate body and seat, and the wheels in front of the handlebars are added with baskets.

The difference is that there is a foldable basket on both sides of the rear seat on the rear wheel.

Bicycles at this time were often used as a means of carrying goods, so a configuration that was convenient for carrying things was added.

The rear seat itself is also very strong, no problem for an adult.

Bicycles are considered very expensive things at this time, so a very strong lock is also standard.

Aoxue put her bag into the car basket, straddled the car and slid forward slowly.

At the same time, I observed the bicycles passing by, and slowly groped for the trick of controlling the balance.

Not long after, Aoxue rode her bicycle unsteadily to the women's bathhouse in the center of Meng County.

Locked the car, asked for a private room to take a shower, then carefully put on makeup, and changed into the clothes I just bought.

Aoxue wore that set of clothes that made her body outline clear, and stepped on the pair of seven centimeter high heels, and walked out of the bathhouse unsteadily.

Maybe it was born for this way of dressing, Aoxue tried it on a few times in a clothing store, and walked a few times in the private bathhouse, and then she barely got used to this feeling.

That feeling of always holding your head high, ready to outshine others.

Her clothes were very rare, and Hu Ji, who introduced occasional clothing stores, would wear this kind of clothes when she went out, but no one had ever worn a girl in the image of a Ming Dynasty.

Although Aoxue is a woman by blood, her appearance is no different from that of a Ming Dynasty woman.

In most of the places outside Daming, they will receive the same courtesy as Daming people.

When she was wearing such "coquettish" clothes and just walking on the road, the rate of turning her head back was infinitely close to [-]%.

Aoxue can feel the eyes of passers-by, and she neither minds nor dislikes such eyes.

She enjoyed this feeling very much, this feeling of being watched by everyone.

She longs for more people, all of whom can look at her and pay attention to her actions.

Anyway, in the center of the county, not far from the county government and the castle where the king lives, there should be no need to worry about safety.

Aoxue took the bicycle, rode it unhurriedly, and soon came to the county government office.

I looked at the signboard of the county government office, then at my clothes and the bicycle under my body:
"So should this count as a report or surrender?"
