Chapter 68 The Imitation Store Appears
"Mother-in-law, are you in trouble?"
"Yeah, there's something wrong."
Next, Grandma Zhou said that she felt a pity when she watched the chickens, ducks and geese feathers poured out every day.
She remembered the down jacket that Su Qingniang asked her family to help with, and the badminton made for her grandson. She said she could use it. It was a pity to throw it away.
Su Qingma was stunned after hearing this, and for the first time he looked at the waste thrown out.
She made the scraps and sold them in braised cooked food, and they could sell them for some money a day. This waste...
Badminton, the badminton and coil on the ball can be made into a simple version, but the ball head... Su Qingya couldn't find a suitable elastic material.
Last time, I saw Aunt Zhou’s youngest son being locked up at home to help with work. He was a little timid. When he saw him hiding in the door alone and watching the children in the alley playing, his eyes were envious. Su Qingma felt a little distressed when she looked at him, so she made a badminton for him to play.
As for rackets, you don’t have to use special rackets. Even wooden boards can be played with each other. The simple version can be made. However, the ball head is not elastic and the volatilization effect will be greatly reduced.
It is okay to make it for children to play with, but it cannot be sold. There are also many exquisite children's toys in this era, which Su Qingma has never seen before, and she doesn't want to worry about areas that she is not familiar with.
The hard feathers of goose can be used as quill pens. They have been popular in Europe for a thousand years, which means that there is a market. But Su Qingma didn't plan to use it. Charcoal pens are very good, and there is no need to hold ink.
As for down jackets, the process is relatively complicated and the cost is not low. Selling less will lead to a loss, and selling more will lead to no one to buy them, and rich people may not be willing to buy them.
I can save some fluff for my family to make.
The one she made for Lu Bocheng was actually a bit like a little, but at least she couldn't get out of it. At that time, time was tight, so she only cared about keeping warm, and she didn't care about other aspects.
As for chicken feathers, they can be used as dusters as keys. There are feather dusters in Luji grocery store, each with three or five ounces. It can only be made by saving several pieces, which is not labor-intensive.
Hey, she seems to be a little swelling? Isn't that good?
After thinking for a while, he said, "Grandma Zhou, we can't take time to deal with these things. You should feel a pity. Pick up the good ones and put them away and clean them. Then our families will use the fluff to make clothes. As for the feathers, clean them up and see if they can be made into dusters. But these work is too fine..."
"It's not too small or too small. My mother-in-law can do it and will not delay the work in the store. You don't know how envious we were of Bocheng's down jacket. My little grandson also said that if there was such a piece in winter, he would be able to go out to play."
"Okay, then mother-in-law, you will work harder."
"No, no, no, no, no," said Grandma Zhou, and went happily.
The corners of my mouth are raised. It's great. With such a job, the wind cannot blow the rain and I can still use so much money to pay for my family in a month. I will save up and save money for my grandson to marry my wife.
The old man's face was filled with joy.
As the end of the month, the store gradually got on track, and the gross profit of a day could be stabilized at about four or five taels. Su Qingma was satisfied.
That morning, there were no one in the store, and Su Qingma was visiting the store and checking the goods.
While checking, Xiaoqing, Yang and Xiaoqingxing ran in panting and said, "Sister, there are several vegetable shops in the town! There is a street next door, a street also has a street, and a street also has a street, and a street too! It is bigger than ours.
"And, my second aunt also opened a house next to her oil shop! It's exactly the same as our shelves! My brother and I went to see it quietly!"
Xiaoqingxing said angrily.
"Ah, my second aunt also opened a family?" Su Qingliu ran in from the backyard when she heard the voice.
"Well, yes. Second Aunt is so bad! Forget it if someone else opens it. She is our second Aunt and she still has to compete for business with us!"
Su Qingma listened quietly, and the movements in her hands gradually slowed down.
She thought that someone would imitate it, but she didn't expect it to come so quickly. She has not arrived for a month since she opened the shop.
After being stunned, she saw that Su Qingliu was anxious to go to Ergu’s shop, so she grabbed her and asked her to look at the shop. She took her twins out of the shop.
The four vegetable shops in the town are almost exactly the same as the decorations of her shop, and the shelves are made of the same. I wonder if they were made by a carpenter shop.
The decorations on the shelf were also like hers. They tied up small portions and packed them up, and the meat was sold separately.
There are many people watching the fun in the four stores. In order to grab customers, each store learns to do various activities, buy meat and vegetables, buy fruit and eggs, etc.
There are two stores like her in a residential area, while the two are on Wang Street. For example, her second aunt is on Wang Street, next to her oil shop. The shop is quite large, and she does activities, and the prices are cheap, so many people squeeze in.
Su Qingma remembers that there is a noodle shop next to the oil shop, and the business is pretty good. How did her second aunt convince the other party to exchange the shop?
Before Su Qingxian could enter her second aunt's shop, she stood on the street, watching the crowds constantly rushing in. She could also hear the sound of her second aunt attracting customers happily.
Overnight, four identical shops were opened in the town.
It caught Su Qingma off guard.
On the way back to her shop, she thought of countermeasures. Seeing that she didn't say anything, the two little guys followed her quietly, pursing their lips, and holding a stern face, angrily pulling her left and right.
When he returned to the shop, he stayed until the afternoon. Seeing that there was no one in the shop, Su Qingma thought about it and took the money to go to the shop's owner, Old Man Xie's house.
He also brought all the twins with him.
"Why did you come to my house? I was afraid that I would run away as a guest, so I came to stay?" Old Man Xie looked joking.
"I'm sending you money." Su Qingma said with a smile.
"I've really been giving money? It seems that your shop has made a lot of money during this period. No wonder several convenient vegetable shops were opened in the town overnight."
After the old servant of the Xie family took the purse, he didn't count it and turned back to the room and put it in.
When Old Man Xie saw his grandson and twins staring at each other, he couldn't help laughing. Seeing the light coming out of his grandson's eyes, he pushed him: "Go to play with your younger brother and sister."
Seeing the twins looking at her, Su Qingniang nodded: "Go, have fun, don't fight."
"Yes." Several children responded and walked away with them.
"I've seen you before." said the little master Xie Qiyou.
"Ah, when?"
"Just the day you just came."
"Ah, that's so early! But we just met you..."
"How old are you? My sister and I are six years old."
"I'm seven."
"Then you are older than us."
"Then you have to call me brother!"
As the children spoke, they turned around the corner and disappeared.
Old Man Xie felt comforted when he saw his grandson becoming more lively when he saw his peers.
He glanced at Su Qingma: "Don't worry, no matter how many vegetable shops are opened, my old servant will only buy them from your house, and it will not delay your family's earnings."
Su Qingniang was originally here to attract fixed customers and pay back the money. Unexpectedly, before she could say anything, the other party said it first, which made Su Qingniang very grateful.
As for Old Man Xie, one is that Su Qingma is a serious business person and admires her very much. The other is that she is very satisfied with the things and services in her store. No matter how well others imitate, they cannot imitate her essence, so they are unwilling to exchange it for a few cents.
"Thank you, my uncle. We will bring you all the time if you don't have any convenience in the future. Let's tell us what you want to eat, and we have found it for you."
"That's good. But my old servant is willing to go out for a walk in the morning and let you come to your door when he doesn't want to move."
"Okay, sure."
After talking to him for a while, Su Qingma also saw from him that this was a wise old man. There was no generation gap between the two of them, which was very pleasant.
When we left, we didn't expect that the three children would play better and we couldn't bear to part. Old man Xie saw that his grandson had a rare like-minded child to play with, so he left two little things behind.
Su Qingma had to go back to the shop alone.
