Chapter 172: It's already like this, what else do you want? [3200]

Great.

It’s really only two dollars, not a penny more!

Waiting one more second is torture.

Until the sales girl personally handed her a set of sailor shirts that fit her daughter's size.

Zhang Laobie couldn't help but well up in tears.

He caressed the material of the clothes lovingly.

Yes, it is this one. It is exactly the same material as the clothes you can buy for 15 yuan in state-owned department stores.

"Daughter, Daddy has stood up for you. I'll go to school and bring the clothes to you right away."

He hugged the clothes tightly in his arms, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch them away, then turned around and left without looking back.

After leaving the market.

Zhang Laobie, holding clothes in his arms, squeezed through the crowd, found his tricycle, sat on it, and was ready to start riding.

A hand rested on his shoulder from behind.

"Hey, uncle, you must have bought some cheap clothes, can I take a look?"

The voice sounds ruffian.

This made Zhang Laobie a little nervous.

He turned his head and found that it was a man and a woman, both of them were about 20 years old. There was no one else around, so he swallowed his heart.

"What do you want to do?"

"Don't get me wrong, old man. We have no ill intentions. He is my blind date and we are unmarried young people who are going to get married legally. You are so annoying. Why don't you apologize to me? Look how scared I am."

The young woman hit the young man.

He spoke quite sincerely.

But his eyes never left the clothes in Zhang Laobie's arms.

"Is this a sailor shirt? Large or small?"

The young woman licked her lips, and then said pitifully: "Uncle, it's like this, my grandfather used to be a navy, so I have had a dream of becoming a navy since I was a child, but unfortunately I have never realized it, so I hope to wear clothes like a navy on the wedding day, and this sailor shirt is the most suitable, but we can't afford it.

We are both from ordinary families. My boyfriend has a hard time raising money. The savings of several generations of my family are only enough to buy a second-hand bicycle. For my dream, the wedding has been delayed. Now I finally have a chance to buy a cheap sailor shirt. Unfortunately, we only have an event flyer, so we can only queue up to buy a set of sailor shirts. Uncle, can you give us your set for the sake of my grandfather's blood for the motherland?"

talking.

He was actually wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes again.

What a moving and touching passage!
Zhang Laobie admitted that he was moved, especially when he heard that the other party's grandfather was a navy officer. How great was that? He had shed blood for the country, so he should be respected. Anyone who showed the slightest blasphemy was not a human being. However, he still wanted to give this dress to his daughter. "I..."

He didn't know what to say.

It was not right to agree or disagree. For a moment, he was so honest and fawning that he found it difficult to speak and looked at the young couple in front of him with pleading eyes.

There are so many people coming in and out here, all coming to buy cheap clothes, why did they target him?

"Don't be shameless, old man. Why are you hesitating? Are you worried that we won't pay you? Here, here are two dollars. Take them and bring the clothes over quickly."

The frivolous young man was already getting impatient waiting.

Pull out two crumpled pieces of cash.

He was about to stuff it into Zhang Laobie's pocket and then try to snatch the sailor shirt he was holding in his arms.

Zhang Laobie twisted his body to prevent him from succeeding. He neither gave him clothes nor allowed him to put the money into his pocket.

The whole person curled up into a ball.

The situation remained deadlocked for a while.

"You bastard!"

"I told you to be polite to the old man."

The young woman watched for a while, and seeing that the young man had not succeeded, she was worried that if he went too far, passers-by would intervene. After all, there were many people coming and going here, so she stepped forward and punched the young man again, "Go away, let me talk to the old man."

She pushed the young man aside.

Just as Zhang Laobie was secretly relieved, his hand was grabbed by the young woman, who cried and said, "Uncle, I beg you, please sell me this dress. I can't get married without it. I'll pay you 2 yuan, and you'll make 5 cents. That should be ok, right?" "Wow, I don't want to embarrass you, but you can't be too selfish. I'm already like this, and I promise to give you 5 cents to make money. What else do you want?"

Yes!

Now that things have come to this, it would be a bit too much to refuse.

For a while.

Even Zhang Laobie himself felt that it would be inappropriate for him not to express his opinion at this time.

Forget it.

Considering that the other party is a descendant of the revolution...

Daughter, I am very sorry. You wanted the sailor shirt for dancing and to pay tribute to the martyrs. I gave it directly to the descendants of the martyrs. You won't blame me, right?

With this decision.

He pushed the clothes in his arms out with extraordinary determination, handed them to the young woman who was still wiping her tears, and said, "I'll sell them to you. You don't have to pay 2 yuan, just 5 yuan. I just spent only 2 yuan."

"Thank you so much, old man. You are such a good man."

When the young woman heard this, she wiped the corners of her eyes with both hands, and her tears dried up instantly. She also hid a hint of pride and reached out to take the clothes from Zhang Laobie's hand.

"Wait a minute."

A hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the young woman's wrist like an iron clamp. With a scream, the young woman cried out in pain.

Zhang Laobie was startled, and quickly took back his clothes, held them in his arms, and dodged to the side.

However, the frivolous young man next to him had already reacted. The smugness on his face just now disappeared, and turned into anger. He said to Gong Pingan who suddenly appeared and meddled in other people's business: "Fuck, are you looking for death? Do you believe I will break your arm? I will count to three, let go of my sister-in-law..."

I haven't finished speaking yet.

The young woman, whose wrist was pinched by the "iron clamp" and who was sweating in pain, was thrown away by the frowning Gong Ping'an. She hugged the scoundrel young man who pounced on them, and then the two fell down together and rolled into a ball.

This is a place with a lot of people.

In addition to the people who were queuing up and waiting to enter the market to buy cheap clothes, there were some people who had already bought clothes and walked around the market, but felt there was nothing to buy. After coming out, they saw that there was something exciting to watch here. At first, they didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but when Gong Ping'an showed up and started fighting, the Chinese people's gossiping hearts were instantly aroused. No one else could help, they had to watch this excitement.

"I didn't hear something right. Guys, come and help me sort it out. Didn't this young couple say they were blind date partners and that they were getting married and needed some nice clothes, so they asked the man on the scooter to give them his clothes? But I seemed to hear this young man calling that woman sister-in-law. This... is a bit confusing, right? Or am I hard of hearing and must have heard it wrong?"

"What's the big deal? I'm a wanderer, and I've seen a lot of this kind of thing. Brother, do you think they look like a couple?"

"Not like."

"Are they like a brother-in-law and sister-in-law, then?"

“No.”

"That's right, they are acting. Do you know what acting is? It's a lie. The purpose is very clear, just to get the clothes in the arms of the tricycle man."

"How do you know, brother?"

"It happened to me just now. Someone came to me to buy clothes when I went out. The tactics were similar to this, but I didn't fall for it. They just showed their attitude and lowered the price to 3 yuan, but I ignored them."

"That's a lot. You can make 1 yuan for each piece of clothing. I'm tempted. Why don't you sell it?"

"Sell? Only a fool would sell. If you go to a regular shopping mall and buy this kind of clothes, it will cost more than ten yuan a set. What a loss it would be if you sell it?"

"That's true, but these people are really weird. They actually collect clothes outside this market instead of going inside. They go directly to the manufacturers to wholesale clothes. I've been thinking about it for a long time, but I still don't understand."

"Brother, then you don't understand. These clothes are not available to anyone who wants to buy them in bulk. I just asked around inside, and they look down on small vendors. The minimum order quantity that I thought was five or ten sets doesn't exist at all. The minimum order quantity is 100 sets, including large, medium, small and extra large sizes. And you can't choose the style. You have to follow their rules..."

"For these clothes, medium and large sizes are always better selling than small and extra large sizes. There is no worry about selling popular styles. For example, the sailor shirts are so popular that some stalls are already out of stock. But they have such a big factory, they can't just make one style. They must have a variety of styles. Some are popular and some are not. These medium and large sizes are the mainstream choice of the public, but small and extra large sizes are less popular. Should they not be made? They still have to produce them. It is understandable that such a big factory requires the merchants who purchase the goods to mix and buy in bulk."

"Brother, you know a lot, but does this have anything to do with them collecting clothes outside?"

"It's a big deal. Think about it. Small vendors can't get the clothes from this factory now. Only big vendors can get the clothes from their factory. But there are not many locals among the big vendors. But the market is still there. Moreover, the clothes from their factory are very popular now. They are definitely popular. So instead of buying clothes from inside, it's better to buy clothes from outside.

Hehe, let me put it this way, brother, people like you who line up to buy clothes, after finally getting in line, must have carefully selected the items, and the items they choose are of good quality and new styles, and the sizes are definitely not too big or too small, and the most important thing is that they are cheap. The clothes you bought are 80 cents cheaper than the wholesale price.

That would be a hot commodity, with business opportunities everywhere. As long as you can cheat someone, you can sell them for 5 or 8 yuan. It's like picking up money, brother, don't you think it's right?"

"If you say that, even I'm jealous. By the way, I'm still very curious, brother, how did you know that this young man and woman were scammers? I also want to learn from you, so as not to be deceived in the future."

"This is too simple. The main reason is that these scammers are ignorant. Brother, let me ask you, did our People's Liberation Army have a navy before the founding of the People's Republic of China?"

"Uh~"
