Going back to the old days of hunting at sea

Chapter 753 Four-piece bedding set? So expensive?!

"Okay, but how much does this meal cost?"

"Why don't you write me a detailed list? If County Magistrate Xu comes to settle the bill, I'll show it to him."

As An Wenjing said this, she was about to go into the house to find paper and pen.

Chen Hui took a piece of paper and a pen and wrote down the prices of various dishes.

Finally, he added one hundred yuan as service fee and handed the bill to An Wenjing.

“So many?!”

"I was thinking that since there weren't any particularly large seafood items this time, the prices wouldn't be too high."

An Wenjing took a look at the list and looked at Chen Hui in surprise.

"The rich shrimp and red rose grouper are both expensive and good stuff."

"Apart from these two, everything else is actually fine."

"Don't feel any psychological pressure. When the county magistrate comes to see you, just give him the bill and calculate the money."

"However, I guess he won't come to you directly to pay. He should let Wang Zijian settle it later."

Chen Hui said this and touched his pocket.

There are only a few dozen dollars left in my pocket from today's groceries purchase.

Walking to the store outside, he asked with a smile, "Boss Lin, can you lend me a few hundred dollars?"

"Didn't I tell you not to call me Mr. Lin? If you do that, I won't be able to finish my work for the day."

"He really became the guy named Lin who is always working." Lin Jiao said helplessly.

"The store is so small, and the extra work is not for no reason."

“Being suddenly busy means you made more money that day, which is not good.”

Chen Hui joked and asked with a smile: "By the way, how much money have we made recently? Have we made back our investment?"

“It’s still a long way from making back the money!”

Lin Jiao said this and took out the account book from under the cabinet to show him.

Chen Hui was also curious about the recent business situation, so he opened the account book and looked at it carefully for a while.

I asked in confusion: "The store has been open for more than two months, why haven't you paid yourself a salary?"

"I don't have anything to spend money on recently. Wen Jing's salary has been given to me."

"I thought I would save until the end of the year and get my salary all at once."

"When the time comes, I can sell the pigs at home and pool the money together to pay off a large debt." Lin Jiao calculated and said with a smile.

Chen Hui didn't expose her and just laughed along.

As soon as she came back yesterday, An Wenjing talked to her.

On the day of the housewarming party, she secretly put two hundred yuan into the closet, which she borrowed from Chen Kaiming and Chen Daqiao.

She has to pay off this debt at the end of the year, and you know without asking that this is the amount.

"Didn't you just say you wanted to borrow money? How much do you want to borrow? When will you pay it back?"

"If you pay it back quickly and the amount is not much, I'll lend you the money in the store first."

"I don't have any money to lend you."

Lin Jiao felt a little guilty when Chen Hui laughed at her, so she quickly changed the subject and asked.

"Uh, how about six hundred?" Chen Hui asked.

"I don't have that much money."

"What about five hundred?"

Shake your head, shake your head, shake your head.

"You should have at least three hundred, right? If you don't have three hundred, I won't lend you the money." Chen Hui said.

"Then when will you return it?" Lin Jiao asked.

"There are guests at home, and it's inconvenient to go back and get the money."

"I've finished my work and will pay you back as soon as I get back, or I'll ask Wen Jing to deliver it first."

Chen Hui sighed.

I feel a little helpless about my mother-in-law's stubbornness.

"Well, okay then." Lin Jiao nodded in agreement.

He went back home to get the key, opened the drawer where the cash was kept, and took out three hundred yuan for Chen Hui.

He also said: "Pay back the money when you come back!"

"I know. General Lin! General Lin! General Lin! General Lin! All, all, all, all!"

Chen Hui took the money and ran out while talking.

"Hey, you deserve a beating, this guy!"

Lin Jiao was speechless.

Just after I complained, Li Alian from the opposite door came over with two bottles, one for soy sauce and one for vinegar.

He looked again and again at the counter, hesitated for a long time, and then pointed upwards and said:

"Weigh five of that kind of candy for me, and five hard candies as well. Can I have two ounces of rock candy?"

Li A Lian hadn't left yet, and two more workers who came to repair the road came over after lunch to buy cigarettes.

I see her buying this and that.

I was greedy for a moment and wanted to buy a cup of melon seeds and sunflower seeds to try.

Chen Hui pushed his motorcycle out and saw that the store was bustling with activity.

For no reason, I felt like I had done something bad, so I quickly rode away on my bike.

When I passed by a gas station, I remembered that I was running low on gas at home.

However, today's money was not enough to pay Lu Jiajia, so Chen Hui did not stop the car to buy it.

Went straight to the department store.

The change left over from buying groceries was enough to pay the cotton fluffer’s wages.

Chen Hui went to the cotton-fluffing shop first.

The cotton-fluffing master is not here.

A middle-aged woman with a wealthy figure and quite formal clothes was selecting fabrics at the door of the store.

He looks at this piece and that piece, and always seems dissatisfied.

"Sister, would you like to buy a quilt cover?" Chen Hui took the initiative to start a conversation.

"Yeah, I always feel like it's a little off."

"Look at this. The shape and color are suitable, but there is nothing new."

"I have seen this style of quilt cover in at least ten of my relatives' homes."

It was obvious that Chen Hui was here to get the quilt.

The middle-aged woman was also a capable person. She pulled over a bright red quilt with dragon and phoenix patterns and started chatting with Chen Hui.

"This is beautiful. Are you going to use it for your wedding?" Chen Hui asked.

"It's used as a dowry for a girl when she gets married."

"It looks good, but it doesn't look any different from any of Zhang San, Li Si, or Wang Wu's."

“Why doesn’t anyone do something different?”

The woman was a little troubled and couldn't help complaining.

"Yes! Why not?"

"Have you heard of four-piece bedding sets? It will look so beautiful when you spread them on the bed when you get married." Chen Hui said immediately.

"Four-piece bedding set?!" the woman was confused.

"It's just a bed sheet, a quilt cover, and two pillow cases."

"That quilt cover is very easy to use. Just stuff the quilt inside, find the four corners and shake them evenly. You don't even need to sew the quilt cover!"

"If you're getting married, choose a more festive fabric."

"It's beautiful and easy to use, and no one else has it."

The middle-aged woman had never seen it before and couldn't imagine what it looked like.

Chen Hui spoke vividly and was infected by his momentum.

Curiously asked: "Is it expensive? Where can I buy it?"

"As for the price, good things will definitely be more expensive."

"If you want to customize a specific style, a set will cost at least 20 or 30 yuan."

Chen Hui actually didn’t know how much to sell it for.

After hesitating for three seconds, he decided to raise the price.

Things like weddings can easily lead to comparison and vanity.

To achieve this effect, you have to set a high standard from the beginning.

"Thirty dollars? That's half a month's expenses!"

The middle-aged woman was horrified.

The bright red quilt cover that looked unoriginal just now, now it looks much more pleasing to the eye.

"It's really expensive to spend half a month's money to buy a four-piece suit."

"Fortunately, people only get married once in their lifetime, otherwise, I really couldn't afford it."

Chen Hui didn't refute her either.

After a joke, the cotton-fluffing boss came back jogging.
