Chapter 180 A new store opened in the county

Lu Yuzhu simply took Teacher Lin with her and went shopping in the city.

Xu Guihua is a rather reckless person. She does things carelessly and shows everything on her face.

She is not at all subtle. Now that she knows that Lu Yuzhu will not take her position, she should feel relieved.

But Teacher Lin Hui is different, although she is short of money because of her brother.

But for her, this job is more than just a 15 yuan salary.

That is still a special teaching career.

As a substitute teacher, Lin Hui contributes no less than a regular teacher.

Lu Yuzhu didn't know how to comfort her.

"Lin Hui, have you ever thought that with your brother's return to the city, you will regain your position as the eldest lady?"

Lin Hui quickly shook her head, "I've never expected this before. As long as my brother and his family are safe and sound, and the children can go back to the city to study, we'll be satisfied.

As for me, after spending so many years with Captain Liu, I've become accustomed to military life, and I don't want to change easily."

Lu Yuzhu, "That's even better. I'll leave both stores under your charge. You can take turns checking them when you have time. Collect the bills every afternoon and record them in the book. You only need to report to me in the future."

Lin Hui, "What about the perm business this year? I'm afraid I won't be able to handle it."

Lu Yuzhu said, "Is there anyone suitable in the compound? You've been here longer than I have, so it's your turn to find someone this time."

We're getting our hair permed this year, and this is our last year in business, so just use up all the perm solution."

Lin Hui, "Are you willing to do that? We make a lot of money from the hair perming business during the Chinese New Year."

Lu Yuzhu smiled evilly, "That's because you have never sold clothes before. You will see it this year. In the clothing business, we make money quickly.

That's easier than getting a hair perm. As long as the deal is done, you can collect the money!"

Otherwise, large shopping malls in the future will have so many employees because of high profits and good business.

The two of them involuntarily walked to the department store and saw a pile of mannequin remains in the yard behind the building.

Lu Yuzhu immediately stood at the door and shouted, "Comrade! Is anyone in the yard?"

A man in his 40s with a tape measure hanging around his neck walked out inexplicably.

"What do you do?"

Lu Yuzhu pointed at the ground excitedly, "Master, this plastic mannequin of yours was discarded, right? I want to buy it."

The other party looked at Lu Yuzhu suspiciously and said, "It's two dollars in total. If you want it, take it all, but you have to move it clean."

Lu Yuzhu immediately took out two dollars and stuffed it into the other party's pocket, then turned around and went in with Lin Hui to move it.

"Thank you, Master. We can't move it in one go, so we have to make two more trips."

The middle-aged man nodded and left them alone.

When Lu Yuzhu moved, she discovered that this master was a tailor in the department store.

There are also many new plastic mannequins in his room.

The ones that were replaced were all defective and had been used for some years.

If you look closely, you will find that cracks have begun to appear somewhere, or that some parts are no longer smooth, which can scratch your hands and snag clothes.

Lu Yuzhu and Lin Hui assembled all the models' limbs, each holding two, and walked back and forth three times.

Finally cleaned it up.

When moving for the last time, Teacher Lin Hui couldn't help it.

"Comrade Xiao Lu, I think he was going to throw it away as scrap. It was only because we were so eager that he accepted the two dollars."

Lu Yuzhu, "So what? We can't just stand outside and wait for him to throw it away. What if it gets cut off by another sewing shop?

It's worth spending two dollars! Otherwise, if we want to buy it, we have to go to a place that specializes in selling mannequins.

Not to mention the round-trip fare, just think about how tiring it is to carry it back. It's not heavy, but it takes up space!"

Teacher Lin Hui smiled and said, "So, we've got a great bargain!"

Lu Yuzhu, "Of course, this thing is new and valuable, and they are also very wealthy, so they brought it back when they were purchasing goods.

But this one can’t be used after it’s bought, we need to deal with it.”

Lu Yuzhu bought another sewing machine and placed it in the clothing store in the city.

Using this sewing machine, Lu Yuzhu took white cloth and made close-fitting clothes for the mannequin.

First, a lot of tape was put on the mannequin to repair it, and then these white tight clothes were put on the outside.

Finally, they were dressed in various men's and women's clothes.

After they lined up in the store, Lin Hui and Mrs. Jiang stared with their eyes wide open.

Xu Guihua, "Oh, big sister, when you first moved in, I thought they were taking up too much space, but once you put these clothes on, they look so different!"

Lin Hui recalled, "This is a living signboard. There are many such mannequins in department stores in big cities.

Customers can see at a glance how well the clothes look on them, which arouses their desire to buy.”

Xu Guihua, "Teacher Lin, you are really good at talking and you know a lot."

Lu Yuzhu said, "We're opening tomorrow. Sister Jiang, please bring down some of the clothes from upstairs and put them back where they belong."

Before this, Lu Yuzhu had already placed half of the clothes in the space in the store.

Her explanation was that she had purchased a lot of goods, and after unloading them from the station, she considered it very troublesome to transport them, so she rented a small warehouse in a private house next to the station.

Mrs. Jiang wouldn't suspect anything.

Now Yuzhu and Teacher Lin carried the remaining models to the town.

The shops in the town mainly sell trousers and cotton sweaters.

Teacher Lin Hui moved one, and Lu Yuzhu was strong enough to hold one in each hand.

They walked and stopped on the road, holding a dummy, and many people looked at them curiously.

When they arrived in town, Zhang Aixiang put a set of cotton sweaters on them all, and then put on long pants.

There are men's and women's ones.

A customer saw it and jokingly said, "Wow, your clothing store is getting more and more grand.

Bring some more tops. We won’t have to go to the city anymore. We can buy them here. They’re pretty good.”

Seeing this novel mannequin placed at the door, many people entered the store curiously.

This mannequin is a head taller than the real person, with a slender figure and a good figure.

The arms and shoulders can also be rotated to create various postures.

The people in the small town looked at it curiously, feeling it was very novel.

Lu Yuzhu took her two new sisters-in-law to the city.

It's just because they are young and educated, and if they are around, they can complement Mrs. Jiang.

In contrast, people in the city have a broader vision, and with two literate, younger shop assistants, there is absolutely no communication barrier.

"Teacher Lin, the distribution of goods between the two sides is also under your charge.

When business gets busy, you'll be responsible for recruiting people from the main yard whenever someone is needed.

Teacher Lin was full of gratitude, she knew that she was being valued.

"Comrade Xiao Lu, don't worry. Whether we're short on people or goods, I'll keep you informed. Just mind your own business."

Lu Yuzhu's eyebrows curved, "That's exactly what I meant."

When the business opened on the second day, Lu Yuzhu and Lin Hui came to help, but there were obviously not enough people.

The five people were busy like spinning tops.

Regardless of whether the deal is done or not, you have to find clothes for the other person to try on, then praise your clothes, and the final disagreement will be on price.

When the new store opened, Lu Yuzhu gave her employees a price fluctuation of 1 to 3 yuan.

As long as you are sincere in buying, you can basically get the deal.

The city already has a large flow of customers, and on this street, there are several stores selling clothes.

As a last resort, the town dispatched another person, and that evening Teacher Lin Hui visited the military compound and recruited two or three more helpers.

Only then did it calm down.

That day, Lin Hui and Lu Yuzhu were sitting in the wooden building reconciling accounts.

Lin Hui calmly counted the thick stack of money, "Comrade Xiao Lu, I'll go to the bank with you and open an account in your name, the kind with a password.

If you go home, I can deposit the money in the bank so I don’t have to carry it back and forth. It’s also inconvenient to keep too much at home.”

Lu Yuzhu looked at the former eldest lady, who was handling affairs calmly.

She knew she had chosen the right person. Only someone like Lin Hui, who had seen the world and money, could be so calm and offer reasonable suggestions.

If Xu Guihua counted huge amounts of money every day, she would have been shocked and her fingers would have trembled.

It’s really great to be a store manager for Mrs. Jiang. It’s satisfying and allows me to shine.

The two of them immediately went to the bank, opened an account, and left the passbook with Teacher Lin Hui.

However, when Lu Yuzhu was here, the money was given directly to her, which was very convenient for her because she had space.

After two rains, the weather has turned cooler.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is held concurrently with National Day, and many people use their holiday to buy gifts for their elderly family members and clothes for their children.

There are more people in the store.

There is a shop in town that has opened a special store for children's clothing.

When she was doing the hair perm business, she rented a house next to the school. The aunt of that family came with her daughter and wanted to open a shop for Lu Yuzhu.

They were all acquaintances, and Lu Yuzhu really needed manpower, so she arranged for her to sell children's clothing in a store in town.

Zhang Aixiang no longer receives customers. She is only responsible for collecting money. No matter who makes a deal, she will come over to collect the money as long as they call her.

Lu Yuzhu made her a thick canvas waist bag.

Following the style of later generations, it only needs to be tied around the waist like a belt. The front is in the shape of a bag. When the zipper is opened, there are three layers inside.

Large-denomination banknotes are placed close to the stomach, usually 10-yuan and 5-yuan bills.

Then there is the middle layer, where one or two pieces are placed.

The outermost layer is for coins, making it easier to find people.

With this purse in her pocket, Zhang Aixiang is like a mobile cash register.

It is convenient and anti-theft, unless you take her away.

Otherwise, after you receive the money, you won’t even notice it because it’s covered by the hem of your loose clothes.

When she collected a lot of money, Zhang Aixiang would organize the bills into bundles of 10 when there were fewer people around.

The bar at the door will hold some change in addition to a temporary account book.

Just in case of emergency, that's actually a cover.

Even here, there are two employees guarding the door.

The innermost room, where you cook, has a special cabinet.

The carpenter at that time followed Lu Yuzhu's instructions and made a row of top cabinets, all of which were nailed to the wall.

Each one has a lock, and one of the cabinet door keys was left to Zhang Aixiang.

Open this cabinet, and you will find a copy of the daily account book stored here.

There is another manual here, which is the reserve price that Lu Yuzhu reserved for them.

Only the store manager knows this. Although it is not the factory price, it is the lowest price for this type of clothing.

When we meet old customers who buy a lot of clothes at one time, and they bargain for a big price, we will use the price above as the base.

As long as it is within the acceptable range, they can get what they want once, otherwise there is no need to discuss it.

In addition to these account books, there is also a small hanging cabinet inside. Zhang Aixiang always closes the door alone when there are not many people in the store.

Use the smallest key to open this secret cabinet within the cabinet.

Put a stack of 10 coins in it, especially those of 10 or 5 yuan. It is not advisable to carry too many on you.

Only their store manager knows about this secret cabinet.

Moreover, this cabinet can only be reached by standing on a high stool.

Zhang Aixiang and Xu Guihua, these old employees who once helped with perming hair, were well known and appreciated by Lu Yuzhu regardless of their personalities and character.

You can rest assured to have them guarding the store.

Ever since Zhang Aixiang took over the shop in the town, she has to stay here to look after the shop from time to time.

The couple would live here whenever they had to sleep or be on duty. At lunch time, Dayang would also bring his younger brother from school.

The two brothers went home to sleep at night.

Dayang is already in junior high school and takes good care of his younger brother.

Every Sunday, he would take his meal coupons and go to the canteen in the compound with his younger brother to eat.

Whenever Zhou Jianguo saw them, he would take the two brothers home and have dinner together.

The salary Lu Yuzhu offered Zhang Aixiang was twice that of an employee, which was a very tempting condition.

Lin Hui would only come to replace her on duty unless there was something important.

Usually at this time, Liu Xiaorou would take Liu Xiaogang and live directly at Deputy Captain Zhou's house.

The two families are very familiar with each other and live very close to each other.

When Captain Liu saw that the two children had gone to Zhou's house, he would go to the town to accompany Lin Hui and help look after the store.

After all, it is not safe for a woman to guard money and a store.

Everyone around knew that the women working in these shops were military dependents.

There is no one who is blind.

Xu Guihua never fails to guard the store because it is located in the county town, which is also a busy downtown area, and there are people patrolling on duty on the streets.

It doesn’t matter whether Deputy Battalion Commander Jiang comes to accompany her or not.

Because the distance is too far.

Sometimes on weekends and holidays, when business in the city is good, some women will stay off work later.

They would go to the nearby place to make a phone call and inform their loved ones that they were staying with Mrs. Jiang to be on duty.

Fortunately, Lu Yuzhu has a big appetite and packed 11 items at a time. With such good business, there is no need to worry about shortage of supply.

Seeing that the shops on both sides were on track, there was no need for me to keep an eye on them anymore.

Lu Yuzhu plans to return home.
