Bab 10: Make A Killing (3)
Editor: Henyee Translations
Yue Yan's eyebrows twitched. Wore silk flowers when she was young? Grandma Zhou was, at least, a well-bred young lady.
On Sunday, the entire family continued to work overtime. They had to finish all the materials this time.
On Monday, Yue Yan went to school while her father and Grandma Zhou went to sell things. She felt uncomfortable in school.
"Yue Yan, are you feeling unwell?"
Yun Cheng could tell that Yue Yan was distracted. Ever since his mother pulled his ear, he did not dare to doze off in class.
Yue Yan casually brushed him off. "No, I just want to get out of school."
Yun Cheng was interested. "You don't like to study, but you can understand everything with just a little learning. God is so unfair."
"Oh, you're right." Yue Yan nodded randomly.
Forget it. She had to calm down. The things would definitely be sold. She would let her father get used to how to do business in advance.
Yue Huaide's business was really bustling. They made it in time for lunch and there were more people on Monday than Saturday.
The girls who recognized him, ran over immediately and surrounded the tricycle. Yue Huaide had no choice but to ask Grandma Zhou to help collect the money.
The students called for their friends at mealtime. Half of the tricycle was emptied out again. This time, Yue Huaide listened to his daughter and went to the other schools' entrances.
He went to the entrance of the teacher training center again. Next to the teacher training center was the nursing school. These places were really crowded in comparison.
As expected, the students in the teacher training center had heard yesterday that there was a father-and-daughter duo who sold hairbands. The headbands they sold were especially pretty. Then, they saw them at their school gate today.
Someone went forward and asked, "Are you the hairband seller? Where's your daughter?"
"My daughter is in class today. The old lady and I came over to sell them. The style the old lady is wearing can be given to the elders in the family. Look, it looks great, right?"
Grandma Zhou stood proudly for the group of young ladies to take a look at the hairband.
The old lady was also good at sales. She immediately said, "Aiyo, if I have a daughter, I'll buy a pair for my daughter. I'll buy a pair myself too. We'll look so close if we wear the same hair ties."
How could the consumers resist that? Who didn't have a mother at home? The teachers' training center and nursing schools were basically filled with female students. Who didn't like to look pretty? Their purchasing power was much stronger than the secondary schools' students.
Not only did they buy the same model for their mother, but for their sisters and grandmothers too. In less than an hour and a half, the tricycle's hair accessories were all snatched up.
The people who didn't get to buy them, were indignant. "Uncle, when are you coming again? I'll wait for you."
Yue Huaide said happily, "I'll come in the afternoon. I made a lot this time. There's more at home."
The girls who didn't get to buy them were extremely excited.
"Uncle, don't go back on your word. We'll wait for you to come over in the afternoon!"
He went home in the morning and counted the money with the old lady. After dinner, they stopped at the entrance of an elementary school for a while.
The primary school students were basically sent to school by their grandparents. The main buyers were the school teachers and old ladies.
Grandma Zhou was standing by the wicker basket with a headband. The old ladies passing by her could not walk away when they saw the novelty item on her head.
They all had the same thought: It's so beautiful. I wonder where she bought it from.
Seeing that they were not buying it, Yue Huaide panicked. He did not care about his face anymore. He shouted, "Look, look. It's the only hairband in An City. You can't miss out on those when you have young ladies at home. And, those who have wives can't miss it either. Buy one for the old lady at home if you don't have a wife. If you don't buy it today, you won't be able to buy it tomorrow."
Many men watched as a strapping man sold hair accessories for women.
Grandma Zhou took the initiative to say to the reluctant old lady in front of her, "Sister, have you taken a fancy to the thing on my head?"
The other party nodded in embarrassment.
"Look, my nephew and I made everything in this basket. I can guarantee that this headband is unique in the entire An City."
The old lady was obviously very tempted, but an old man came over and pulled her away.
"Aren't you ashamed to wear flowers at your age?!"
The old lady shook him off. "Old thing, you said that you would give me a flower every year when we got married back then. Am I not worthy now that I'm old?"
The old man knew that he was in the wrong. He stammered for a long time and could not say a complete sentence. He simply turned his head to look at the sky.
The old lady had a temper too. She chose two hair ties and a headband and paid for them stubbornly.
The old man scolded her for wasting money, but the old lady refused to be outdone.
"You drink tea, smoke, and visit the bath all day long, but you can't bear to spend a single cent on me…"
Yue Huaide and Grandma Zhou looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. They decided to go to the entrance of the teacher training center.
Yue Yan's father had already prepared dinner when she returned home in the afternoon.
There were actually three dishes and a soup on the table today.
"Dad, how much did you earn today?"
Yue Huaide could not help but smile. "Let me give you a hint. Just Xiaofei's family alone has earned 500 yuan."
Yue Yan understood. Indeed, it was better to earn more with more quantity.
Her 40 yuan became 400 yuan, and her father's 20 became 200. The family became rich instantly.
"Dad, we can do this business one last time. We'll put in all the money we earn. Are you still in?"
Yue Huaide said regretfully, "Of course, we'll put in the 200 yuan. Why can't we continue this business?"
Yue Yan comforted her father. "We can still continue to earn money, but we won't be earning so much anymore."
Yue Huaide experienced the joy of doing business. It was more interesting than riding a tricycle. And, it also made more money.
Who was able to earn more than 1,000 a day? He didn't even dare to dream about it.
The Zhou Family did not participate for the final time. According to Zhou Boyan, their family had earned enough and wanted to let the Yue Family earn all the money.
