The little one's purse connects the two worlds, turning a desolate village into a paradise.
Chapter 288 Factory Uniforms
Zhao Jiale squeezed through the crowd with difficulty, picked up a factory uniform and examined it closely. He found that the fabric was not only thick, but it also had a removable quilted lining. In cold weather, the lining could be added for warmth, and in hot weather, it could be removed and worn alone, making it extremely practical.
The style is a classic collared long-sleeved design, with an overall navy blue color. The words "Foxconn" are embroidered in white thread on the chest. The chest pocket has a three-dimensional cut, but it's a bit small; you can't even fit a mobile phone in it.
Fortunately, the slanted pockets on both sides of the garment are large, deep, and equipped with zippers.
The inner lining is not a vest, but a long-sleeved quilted lining.
He even carefully pulled out the zipper pulls and examined them; they were all YKK zippers! Good stuff!
However, after looking around, he couldn't seem to find any matching pants.
"Boss, do you have matching pants with this quilted shirt?" Zhao Jiale asked, holding up the shirt.
The stall owner glanced at him and casually replied, "These are all the shirts left; the pants are all sold out. There are other styles over there. These training pants are selling pretty well too; they have six big pockets, are made of cotton-canvas blend, and are durable. There are also regular work pants over there. Take your pick."
Zhao Jiale stared at the factory uniform in his hand. There weren't many left in the basket, so he decided not to worry about the pants for now.
"Boss, I'll take everything in this basket. What's the price?"
"You want them all? There are still thirty or fifty items left here. If you want them all, it's twenty-three each. They were originally twenty-five."
After a quick calculation, Zhao Jiale figured that he could sell the quilted factory uniform for 49.9 yuan apiece. If he couldn't sell it, he could lower the price again. In any case, he would still make a profit.
He glanced at his phone balance, gritted his teeth, and said, "I'll take them all, plus fifty pairs of security guard shorts in the same color."
"Alright, security guard shorts are twelve yuan a pair."
The boss walked over and dragged the large basket in front of Zhao Jiale over to count the clothes: "42 shirts, 50 pairs of pants, a total of 1566."
"I've turned around, boss. Can I borrow a handcart? I'll bring it back to you after I finish loading the goods," Zhao Jiale asked again.
"Take it and use it."
After counting the goods and loading them onto a handcart, Zhao Jiale pushed the full load of goods away from the clearance market.
Originally, I planned to take it to the morning market to sell the goods the next day, but after being lazy for a few days, I couldn't adjust my schedule for a while. I played ranked games and before I knew it, it was midnight.
The worst part is that staying up all night cost me eight stars!
"A bad start. It's not a good day to set up a stall. Let's try again tomorrow." Zhao Jiale, with dark circles under his eyes, angrily reported a few of his teammates before finally washing up and going to bed.
……
On the other side, Cao Xiulian stared at the two baskets full of wild vegetables, several small baskets, and the little baby holding a small cart in the middle. She glanced at the doorway again and rubbed her eyes.
She only went under the platform to light the coal stove, and Ya Ya's uncle quietly brought in such a large pile of wild vegetables and the baby.
"Auntie!" Ya Ya tiptoed out of the pile of wild vegetables, twisting and turning, and climbed onto Cao Xiulian's arm with her phone in hand.
"I took a group photo of everyone in the village! Look, the one in the red jacket is my mother-in-law, and the one in the pink floral jacket is the village chief..."
Following the force of Ya Ya's little hand, Cao Xiulian bent down slightly to look at her phone. Wow, there were quite a few people there.
Their clothes were strange... festive, with the front row all wearing their local floral cotton-padded jackets and the back row wearing camouflage uniforms.
They all look to be in pretty good spirits.
"The photos are really well taken; you can see each auntie clearly," Cao Xiulian praised with a smile.
The photo vaguely shows the rolling mountains in the background, exuding a pristine and refreshing atmosphere.
Ya Ya smiled secretly, her auntie praising her as soon as she arrived!
"Why did you bring so many wild vegetables today?" Cao Xiulian handed the phone back to Ya Ya, looked at the wild vegetables in the basket, and twitched her nose.
From a distance, I thought it was shepherd's purse, but when I got closer and smelled it, I realized that it was actually wild water shepherd's purse.
"This is the watercress that Uncle Zhao and I found. There's so much of it by the river!" Ya Ya replied proudly.
Thinking back to yesterday's rain, Cao Xiulian had a clue: the villagers must have brought all the watercress from the riverbank after the rain.
If you don't pick these in time, they'll get old and won't taste good.
I looked into the baskets again. One basket was filled with lichen, and the other contained wild shepherd's purse and some fresh mushrooms.
Cao Xiulian took two small baskets and weighed them: three and a half jin of ground lily, a little over two jin of hazel mushrooms, one and a half jin of thunder-shaped berries, and fifteen jin of shepherd's purse.
After weighing them, Cao Xiulian and Ya Ya prepared to sort and arrange the various wild vegetables on the shelves.
Before the items were even set up, someone walked in through the shop entrance.
"Grandpa Zhang!" Ya Ya called out cheerfully, "Didn't you sleep in today? Why didn't you bring your little green bird?"
Zhang Limin looked at the wild vegetables that hadn't even been laid out yet with a smug expression. He knew that the earlier you arrived, the more you could take.
If I'm busy taking my little one out, I'll probably only be able to pick up a few leftover dishes later.
"Boss, I came early today but didn't bring my bird. I'll walk it when I get back later. What vegetables do you have today?" Zhang Limin said as he walked to the shelf and looked around. "There are so many water purslane today? They look so fresh and tender. I'll have to get some."
There are also hazel mushrooms and wild mushrooms. Oh my, the wild lichen is so clean! No wonder there's only a little bit left. I'll take it all.
Zhang Limin tore off a plastic bag and put the lichen and mushrooms into it.
Seeing a whole basket of watercress still lying on the ground, he casually grabbed a handful, examined its quality, and then waved his hand dismissively: "Never mind, I've bought all the vegetables for today. I'll call someone from the factory to come and pick them up later. Boss, please settle the bill."
Ya Ya was taken aback. Had they sold out before they were even set up?
What should we do about Grandma Wang?
Grandma Wang is a good friend of Huaya Shop, and she has never tried water spinach before.
"Grandpa Zhang, could I save a few pounds of watercress for Grandma Wang? She hasn't eaten any yet, and if you buy it all, she won't have any left."
Cao Xiulian then realized that there was also a VIP lady.
"Grandpa, Sister Wang is a regular customer of ours. She likes to eat fresh food, so I have to save some for her."
"Hey, it's no big deal. I've already bought so much, a few pounds less won't matter. But sister, next time you have some new ones, could you leave some for this old man?" Zhang Limin chuckled.
"Okay!" Cao Xiulian readily agreed.
"I'll head back now." Zhang Limin scanned the QR code and paid 1,000 yuan directly. "Consider any extra as a prepayment; if it's less, just let me know via WeChat and I'll make up the difference!"
He hasn't fed the birds yet.
Cao Xiulian quickly packed up the wild vegetables Zhang Limin had ordered, and then put the few kilograms of wild shepherd's purse she had left for Wang Guifen under the worktable.
After getting ready, they turned to meet Ya Ya's gaze, and both of them smiled in unison.
Sold out again!
"Should we go upstairs to rest for a while, or go out to help the village with shopping?" Cao Xiulian rubbed Ya Ya's little head.
Ya Ya, holding onto her stroller, glanced upstairs. "Auntie, I'm going out to buy some things and will be back soon. Oh, Auntie, I want to buy a big scale to take back to the village. Do you know where I can buy one?"
"How about we buy a scale? There aren't any around here, Auntie will call someone to deliver one later." Cao Xiulian thought for a moment.
"Wow! Thank you, Auntie! I'm going now!"
"Okay, take care on the road."
