Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 141 What Is Selling Is An Idea

As soon as Liu Ya saw it, she knew that this woman was tempted to buy it, but she thought it was too expensive.Then he said: "Sister-in-law, how can a copper pot be better than a clay pot? Aren't clay pots broken as soon as you hit them? This copper pot is still so bright after you have used it for more than ten years. How about it, you are opening it for me." Yes, I’ll give you another two pennies cheaper. Thirteen penny is the least. Otherwise, you can exchange it with other things. But, it must be something I like.”

Hearing what Liu Ya said, this woman wanted to buy it at first, she pursed her lips and thought for a while, "Is twelve pennies okay? I don't have that much money, twelve pennies is enough for my family to eat for two days."

"Then... okay. To be honest, my family is also poor, otherwise I wouldn't be able to let a little girl like me come out to buy and sell things. I know the difficulty of this penny, so you can give me twelve pennies." Liu Ya finished speaking , and handed over the copper pot in his hand.

Hearing Liu Ya's words, the woman smiled and took the copper pot to check it. Seeing that it was indeed fine, she took out a small purse from her pocket and started counting the money.He counted twelve copper coins and handed them to Liu Ya, saying, "Little girl, you are really easy to talk to."

Liu Ya also smiled, but didn't say anything.In fact, it can be seen from the clothes this woman wears that her family may not be the poorest in Lijiatun.Because although the woman's clothes are old, at least they haven't been patched.It was much better than the suit Liu Ya wore before.

However, since it is about price, it is natural to speak poorly, and Liu Ya can understand.Anyway, she picked up this copper pot, so it would be nice if it could be exchanged for money.Otherwise, she could use several copper pots at home.

The woman turned around with the copper pot in her hand and wanted to leave. Liu Ya stopped her after thinking for a while and said, "Sister-in-law, I still have curtains and tablecloths here, do you want them? Although they are old, my sister's starches are clean. Well. You come first, you can pick first, and when it’s too late, it will be gone after being picked by others.”

After finishing speaking, Liu Ya picked out a piece of curtain and shook it open, and said to the surrounding people: "Let's take a look, this curtain is big enough, take it back and cut it, at least two pieces can be made." A curtain. If you don’t want to cut it, such a large piece can be used as a curtain. Hang a curtain in front of the bed in winter, and the inside of the curtain is warm, so it saves firewood.”

When Liu Ya said this, the woman who just bought the copper pot turned around again, and pulled the curtain in Liu Ya's hand to look, as if she was thinking about something.

Liu Ya hurriedly said: "I'm buying it now, you can pick it, and I'll make it cheaper, it only costs [-] yuan a piece. If you buy such a thick curtain cloth in the town, it will cost more than [-] yuan per foot. "

"Little girl, seeing that I've already bought your copper pot, can this curtain be considered cheaper?" The woman held the curtain in her hand and thought about buying it again.

Liu Ya nodded and said, "Okay, if you buy two yuan, just give me 35 Wen. But if you only buy one piece, I can't afford it."

After listening to Liu Ya, someone lowered the curtains, probably because they really thought it was too expensive.Because every household has window paper, and when the lights are turned off early at night, the inside cannot be seen from the outside, and there is still lamp oil left.No one pays attention to using curtains.

Liu Ya was not in a hurry to sell, so she picked up the tablecloth and said, "If you think the curtains are expensive, then buy a few tablecloths. The fabric is thick and the pattern is pretty. It can be used as furoshiki, and if you are dexterous, you can even cut it." Make pillowcases. Otherwise, several layers of cloth are piled up to make shoe soles or insoles, how thick it is.”

It is estimated that only Liu Ya with such a flexible mind can think of making tablecloths into soles and insoles.

After Liu Ya finished speaking, the women, young daughter-in-law and eldest daughter beside her laughed.There was also an older woman who asked, "This tablecloth is really good for insoles. It is stronger than rags cut from old clothes. But how do you sell it?"

"There are two types of this one. One is oil-stained. It really doesn't look good. If you want to buy it back and use it as a tablecloth, I won't. I just sell it as a cloth head for five cents a piece. This tablecloth is five feet square. Yes, calculate how many pairs of insoles you can make and how many soles you can provide."

Liu Ya pointed to the other tables and preached: "These ones are very good. They are very new without any oil stains, so they cost eight cents a piece. But the pattern is so beautiful, it would be great if you buy it back and make pillowcases. No more..."

Liu Ya glanced at the children who came to watch the excitement, and pointed casually: "Isn't it good to make a hoodie for such a big little brother and little sister?"

The smock is for children to wear outside the clothes, so as not to stain the clothes by spilling rice grains and soup on the children when eating.They were all made from old clothes.However, there are also families who usually wear a smock for their children, in case the children get dirty or scratch the clothes when they play.

Hearing Liu Ya's suggestion, several women with children at home were tempted.He lowered his head and picked it up, wanting to see how the clean tablecloths were doing.

After a while, someone picked two yuan and asked Liu Ya, "One yuan is eight Wen, and two yuan will give you fifteen Wenxing? I want these two yuan. Go home and make gowns for my elder and younger sisters. It's really nice."

"Okay, fifteen cents, take it. It's a really good tablecloth. You have a good eye, and you picked it well." Liu Ya immediately agreed, and handed over the two tablecloths neatly folded. The little daughter-in-law took fifteen Wen in her hand.

In fact, Liu Ya is not selling things, but ideas.Such a few shouts are really turning waste into treasure, saying that all the useless old things are of great use.

Since someone paid for it, someone immediately joined in the fun.But no one bought two yuan anymore, but bought one by one, and bought three more.

At this time, the old woman who first asked Liu Ya the price pointed to the cheap tablecloth and said, "Little girl, how much is this cheap tablecloth? You count it, I want it all, let me count it cheaper." .”

"Okay, let me count." Liu Ya took out the oil-stained tablecloths and counted them, not many, a total of four.He said: "Well, if you buy them all, it will be one penny cheaper. Calculated at four pennies a piece, four tablecloths cost sixteen pennies."

"Fifteen yuan, I want four yuan." The old woman also wanted to negotiate the price, and only gave fifteen yuan.

Liu Ya smiled, nodded and said, "That's fine, but you have to tell me, what are you buying so many tablecloths for?"

"Make insoles." The old woman smiled and handed fifteen copper coins to Liu Ya, and said proudly, "I can embroider, so I cut this tablecloth into insoles, and put the clean ones on top without oil stains." If you put it in the middle, you won’t be able to see it. Wouldn’t it be nice to embroider it with mandarin ducks playing in the water and peonies blooming.”
