Nongmen Jinfeng: Cold-noodled husband and little daughter-in-law

Chapter 26 Estimating the Value of Dolls

About half an hour later, Fang Xiaofu had washed up and was sitting on the kang. Both Caixia and Xiaoqiu were helping her to apply medicine. Each of them applied a kind of ointment, so it was easy.

Fang Yingchun didn't make any more trouble tonight, so what her mother said probably helped.

Or, as my aunt said, Fang Yingchun's troubles these two days were all because Xiao Qi'er was injured and couldn't do housework, and she naturally didn't want to spend time on such trivial matters, which would affect her embroidery and earn money.

That's why Xiao Qi'er was annoyed in his heart, so he made trouble for her everywhere.

In fact, these reasons are like a bright mirror in Fang Xiaofu's mind.She even knew that Fang Yingchun even scolded her third brother because he protected her.

But now, Fang Yingchun knows that tomorrow she will live in the town, eat well, live well, don't have to do housework, can concentrate on embroidery, and get married.This is a great thing, and she will naturally feel better.

However, she doesn't know what she thinks. In the hearts of the Fang family brothers and sisters, as long as the family does not have her making troubles, they can live a more stable life, which is also a great thing.

When the family meeting was held earlier, Caixia and Xiaoqiu were both busy in the kitchen, and it was Zihong and Zisheng who told them later, so they were in Fang Xiaofu's room, and they were also in a happy mood.

Before the medicine was finished, Fang Zizhan knocked on the door.

Fang Xiaofu quickly put on his clothes, saying that he would put on the rest later.One reason is to be eager to hear the news from Fang Zizhan, and the other reason is that I don't want to delay Fang Zizhan's time too much.

Xiao Qiu quickly ran to open the door, Fang Zizhan walked in, and asked with a smile: "The medicine is ready, do you need my help?"

Fang Xiaofu rolled his eyes at him, didn't he ask the question knowingly.

"Third Brother, we're going back to the house." Caixia greeted obediently and slipped away.

"Third brother, there is still no paint on the knee." Xiaoqiu reminded, and also ran away with a smile.

Fang Zizhan responded, walked over to close the door, walked back to the kang, took out two large and small brass locks and put them aside first, then picked up the first box of ointment, rolled up Fang Xiaofu's trousers, and carefully applied the medicine on her with cotton wool .

Fang Xiaofu was a little embarrassed, but he didn't refuse.Such a careful and considerate man, and a man who can withstand family pressure and take care of his wife, is not easy in this ancient world.

Although Fang Xiaofu only regards him as a good friend rather than a boyfriend, he also likes and appreciates his various performances today.

"Just now my uncle praised the puppet you made, and was amazed." Fang Zizhan talked about what happened just now while applying medicine, "He said that this kind of doll is exquisite in workmanship and novel in appearance, and the little girls will definitely like it."

"Does that mean there is a market?" Fang Xiaofu was a little excited and asked expectantly.

"Well, there are three large shops selling boudoir items in the town, and six or seven small ones. Among them, the items include rouge and gouache, various embroidery, as well as decorative items and decorations of all sizes."

"One of these things is based on price, which reflects the level of status, and the other is based on quality and style. Traditional things compare quality, novelty compares style, that is, what is popular, everyone buys and sells."

Fang Xiaofu nodded repeatedly after hearing this, that's the reason.

"Your puppet looks cute and interesting. Uncle said that he has never seen a small animal puppet like this, but once it sells well, it is estimated that it will be easy to imitate it. Everyone will follow suit and sell it."

As Fang Zizhan said, he raised his eyes to look at Fang Xiaofu.

Fang Xiaofu understood the meaning of that look, and said with a slight smile, "Don't worry, others follow suit to prove that there is a market. As long as there is a market, I can make my doll stand at the top of the vane and become the leader of the novelty."

Fang Zizhan pursed his lips and smiled, unable to bear to hit her.At this time, the little girl who was full of confidence and pride looked at her with a different flavor, which made people unable to take their eyes off her.

"By the way, did uncle say that we should take the high-end route and go to the three largest shops to negotiate the best price?"

Fang Xiaofu froze for a while, seeing that Fang Zizhan was just looking at him tenderly, he felt a little embarrassed, and quickly asked a new question.Uncle said so much is analysis, and there will definitely be suggestions later.

"Well, uncle said that the three biggest shops sell a lot of miscellaneous things, but the business is really good." Fang Zizhan nodded and continued.

"One of them mainly sells small items such as rouge, gouache and jewelry accessories on women's bodies, sachets, and other small items, the other mainly sells knick-knacks and items on women's bodies, and the third one mainly sells embroidery, but also mostly on women's items. "

Fang Xiaofu nodded after hearing this, and thought about it: "That is to say, the owners of these three stores are all women's common items, except for rouge and gouache, they are all women's decorations."

Fang Zizhan nodded: "Because the business is similar, the competition is also very fierce. Among them, the price and the novelty will become the advantages. And the puppet you made is also a small item that women like, so there is a market."

"But my uncle said, we're going, don't think about the one that sells rouge and gouache. There are some shops in that shop that bully customers, and the shopkeepers are a bit unscrupulous. Although the shopkeepers of the other two are not good, they are honest."

"Okay, let's listen to Uncle." Fang Xiaofu nodded, thought for a while and said, "Why don't we first get to know the small shops first, and then go to the big ones, so that we can be more confident when negotiating prices."

Fang Zizhan agreed, feeling that Xiao Qier was very thoughtful. After all, if a small shop can be opened, it must have its advantages and its existence value.

"By the way, uncle looked at my doll, did you say what price it might sell for?"

The uncle is a part-time shopkeeper, so he is naturally experienced with these items, otherwise he would not have told them so many things.And she also needs to make an estimate of the doll's value through her uncle.

The price quoted by the uncle, the price quoted by several small shops, and the price quoted by the big shop will all become the value reference of her dolls.

"Uncle said that if he wanted to sell them, the prices of the three little pigs would be five, ten, and twelve respectively, and the jackrabbit could be sold for fifteen."

"……"so little?

Fang Xiaofu suddenly felt discouraged.How many do you have to do to see the silver coins one by one, and the bank notes one by one?

"Uncle said he bought it at the selling price borne by the peddler. The price is lower. If you go to a big shop, you can double the price, and then see how the shopkeeper counters the price, and then you can make up your own mind."

Fang Zizhan had already applied the medicine and put away the ointment. When he looked up, he saw her pouting her small mouth in disappointment, and couldn't help laughing.

"Silly girl, making money is not a one-day job. Besides, didn't you make three little pigs and two jackrabbits in one afternoon? How much money did you make today based on uncle's estimate?"

That's right, although each one is very cheap, they add up to fifty or sixty cents, so it should be possible to earn a penny a day.

Based on her vague memory of the past two days, a penny shouldn't be too little, right?

Thinking of this, her enthusiasm emerged again.
