104 Chapter 104: Buying Woven Bamboo Products
It was good that Song Que was not fat and only took up a very small corner in the handcart, so the three of them were able to set off without a hitch.
When they arrived at the town gates, Qin Xiaoyao and Big Girl Li began to redistribute the goods on the handcarts.
With this redistribution, Qin Xiaoyao’s handcart ended up with more goods, and its weight increased by more than half.
Big Girl Li had wanted to ask Song Que if he wanted to sit on her handcart instead and go with her to set up a stall while he waited for her Sister Sanya.
!!
However, when she saw the bad-tempered manner Song Que was looking at her, she did not dare to speak.
“Alright. Later, I’ll go with my husband to deliver the goods. You can go and set up your stall first at the market on South Street.”
“By the way, if you have anything you want to buy, you can tell me. I’ll send my husband home first, and then I’ll go to the market on West Street to buy some stuff.” Qin Xiaoyao didn’t even notice the interaction between her attractive husband and Big Girl Li and directed her words at Big Girl Li.
“Then… help me get two catties of fatty meat and a piece of tofu.” Big Girl Li didn’t stand on ceremony either and stated her request.
“Alright!”
The three of them then went to queue up to enter the town.
After entering the town, they split up at a street juncture.
Following that, Qin Xiaoyao pushed the goods and Song Que to Fortune Mansion first before going to Fortune Restaurant.
When they came out of the back kitchen of Fortune Restaurant, the handcart finally became much lighter.
Qin Xiaoyao spoke to Song Que as she pushed the handcart toward their new home.
“In the afternoon, Big Girl Li will be coming to our house to help out, so we’ll just cook at home for lunch.”
“Hubby, if there’s anything you want to eat, you can tell me. I’ll go to the market to buy the ingredients later.”
Song Que shot a side glance at Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao suddenly remembered something, and her expression immediately became nervous.
Then, she quickly said, “Don’t worry. Other than my Father, I only told Big Girl Li about this and instructed her not to tell anyone else. At most… at most, only Daniu would know too.”
Damn it! She had actually forgotten about this.
Her attractive husband had indeed told her to keep the purchase of the courtyard dwelling a secret.
However, by the time her attractive husband told her that, she had already told Big Girl Li.
After that, she thought that since Big Girl Li already knew, she didn’t need to hide it from her anymore.
Song Que frowned.
“Did you also say that we were building a cellar?” he asked in a low voice.
Qin Xiaoyao was stunned.
“No, I didn’t.”
What was so interesting about building a cellar?
Only then did Song Que’s expression relax.
“Don’t tell anyone about the underground cellar.”
“Also, I’ll let today’s incident pass. In the future, until we move into the new house, no one else is allowed to go to the new house except us.”
“Alright.” Even though she had some doubts in her mind, Qin Xiaoyao still agreed.
They arrived at their new home.
Qin Xiaoyao opened the door and pushed Song Que into the courtyard.
After that, she helped Song Que into the room and prepared water and other stuff for him before leaving with a bamboo backpack.
First, she went to the market on West Street to distribute the straw sandals to Qin Dazhuang and Aunt Li.
After that, she bought some meat and vegetables.
When Qin Dazhuang learned that the courtyard dwelling’s handover procedures had been completed, he asked about his daughter’s house-moving plan and was very eager to go and take a look.
Qin Xiaoyao had wanted to agree, but when she recalled Song Que’s words, she turned him down.
She simply said that the house had to be tidied up, and when it was done, she would invite her father and the whole family to visit.
Although Qin Dazhuang was a little disappointed, he didn’t think much about it and agreed.
At the market on South Street,
Qin Xiaoyao saw Big Girl Li at the place where she often set up her stall.
Qin Xiaoyao knew that business was good when she saw many people surrounding Big Girl Li’s cart. She quickly walked over.
Big Girl Li was worried she couldn’t answer the customers’ questions. When she saw Qin Xiaoyao coming over, she immediately relaxed.
After that, she watched her Sister Sanya answer the customers’ questions effortlessly.
Not only did she give the correct price, but she didn’t straightaway lower the price when dealing with customers who were bargaining. Instead, she asked the customers to buy one more item, and then she would lower the combined price.
With this series of actions, Qin Xiaoyao quickly closed the deal with several customers.
Big Girl Li was full of admiration.
After all the customers had left, Big Girl Li finally looked at Qin Xiaoyao.
“Sister Sanya, your speed of selling is much faster than mine!” she said in admiration.
She had never thought of getting customers to buy more before giving a discount. Instead, she simply didn’t allow them to bargain and gave them a fixed price.
Although she did sell some goods, it was not as much.
Qin Xiaoyao chuckled. “It’s fine. Just watch what I do and follow. You’ll pick it up soon.”
...
As she spoke, Qin Xiaoyao picked up a rice-washing bamboo pan.
Then, she began clapping it while shouting loudly.
“Selling… rice-washing pans, bamboo baskets, bamboo basket backpacks, winnowing pans, and straw sandals! All kinds of woven bamboo products and straw sandals! The price is unbeatable! Don’t miss it!”
Big Girl Li looked on from the side with even more admiration.
“Selling… rice-washing pans, bamboo baskets, bamboo basket backpacks, winnowing pans, and straw sandals! All kinds of woven bamboo products and straw sandals! There’s a discount if you buy more! The more you buy, the more you save!” Qin Xiaoyao glanced at Big Girl Li with a smile and continued to shout.
It really did attract a few customers.
Only then did Qin Xiaoyao stop and hurriedly receive the customers with enthusiasm.
Eventually, only one of the three customers bought something.
Qin Xiaoyao wasn’t discouraged and was prepared to continue shouting.
In the end, she heard Big Girl Li, who was standing opposite her, suddenly begin shouting.
“Selling… rice-washing pans… bamboo baskets… bamboo basket backpacks…” Before she could finish, Big Girl Li got stuck like a bullet that got stuck in the barrel.
...
Qin Xiaoyao laughed with amusement.
“Don’t rush. Follow me and learn,” she said to Big Girl Li.
Then, she picked up the rice-washing bamboo pan that she had been clapping earlier.
Seeing this, Big Girl Li copied Qin Xiaoyao’s actions and held up a rice-washing bamboo pan as well.
Then, she started to mimic Qin Xiaoyao word for word.
As she was learning seriously and had Qin Xiaoyao encouraging her from the side, Big Girl Li quickly overcame her shyness and mastered the essence of hawking wares.
Thereafter, the two of them worked together seamlessly, taking turns to sell and hawk their wares, making the stall very lively.
The uncle selling buns by their side saw this, and his face was full of smiles.
With the two of them shouting beside him, not only did they attract customers for themselves, but they also brought some customers for him.
As time passed, the number of goods on the handcart steadily decreased.
Qin Xiaoyao only decided to close the stall when there were increasingly fewer people in the market.
Big Girl Li was also tired from exerting too much force, so she agreed with Qin Xiaoyao’s decision when the latter wanted to close the stall.
“Not bad. The straw sandals are all sold out. There are also only a few woven bamboo products left.” Qin Xiaoyao said with satisfaction after taking stock of the remaining goods on the handcart.
Big Girl Li’s face was also filled with joy.
“The profit for large items is higher. Just now, there was a lady who was asking about the bamboo backpack. Unfortunately, I only brought one, and it was sold off earlier.”
“If I had known, I would have asked Daniu to collect more bamboo backpacks!” Big Girl Li said with some regret.
Qin Xiaoyao chuckled.
“It’s fine! Just tell Daniu when you get back tonight!”
“Why don’t we just stock up on more goods?” Qin Xiaoyao suggested after some thought.
“Anyway, these woven bamboo products don’t break easily. When the time comes, I’ll just send the goods to my new house directly. It’s also convenient to retrieve the goods.”
Big Girl Li’s eyes lit up.
“Sure!” she said hurriedly.
A smile crept over Qin Xiaoyao’s face.
“Alright then. I’ll come up with a new list when we go back.”
