Chapter 15

Hearing this, she glanced at him and said, “Who says these things are not worth the price? The style alone is worth the price, not to mention our labor time and material costs.”

“And remember, your sister, the things I make are worth whatever price I say. Even if they are not worth it to me, they are worth it, understand?”

Shitou nodded. Yes, his second sister was right. This was the first time he had seen this style. This unique item only sold for a few cents. Yesterday, his family was still cooking until 10 o’clock in the evening.

Why isn’t it worth it? It is worth it.

At first, Mrs. Xu was a little worried that the price was too high, but now it seems acceptable.

After selling the first order, everyone passing by was attracted by the novel style.

Some thought that 80 cents was expensive, but when they saw it on Xu Leshu’s hair, they thought it looked good and bought two or more.

With Xu Leshu as the model, the 8-cent items are selling the fastest.

Before I started working in the factory, half of the hair ties had been sold.

Shitou looked at his second sister’s bag and took out his 41 cents.

He has sold forty-one so far and has 41 cents. When they are all sold, he will have 78 cents.

“I didn’t expect it to be so profitable. We sold so many this morning alone. I thought no one would buy it at such a high price.”

Old Lady Xu sat beside them and straightened out the messed up hair ties: “This is also Nannan’s work. If your second sister wasn’t smart, you wouldn’t be able to do it even if she showed you.”

Shitou smiled and nodded: “Yes, my second sister is really amazing. She sold so many in just two hours.”

Now in his eyes, his second sister who helps him make money is his boss, and he listens to whatever she says.

This was the first time in his life that he earned money on his own. Although it was only a few cents, he could earn several cents a day. If he could earn a few cents every day during this holiday, he would have dozens of dollars by the time school starts.

Thinking of this, the corners of my mouth couldn’t help but curl up.

There was no one here, so Xu Leshu set up her stall outside the entrance to the market.

This was the time when the market was crowded, and I met someone I knew right after setting up the stall.

“Aunt Xu, Xiaoshu? What are you doing?”

Xu Leshu sat on a small stool and looked up with squinted eyes. She didn’t look familiar.

She called out “Auntie” with a smile and then lowered her head to fiddle with her hair tie.

Old Mrs. Xu smiled and greeted her: “It’s not that the children at home are too bored at home, they have nothing to do anyway, so they made some toys to kill time.”

The woman just greeted people when she saw them, and there were some little girls’ hair ties on the table.

She also looked down on these small self-employed individuals who didn’t do proper work but came to do this kind of job that was in the spotlight, and they just had to put on a smile and laugh every day, which was despicable.

“Okay, Auntie, you guys take your time to sell it. This kid is a bit of a fuss, you shouldn’t spoil him all the time.”

Old Lady Xu smiled and waved her hands: “If the children want to mess around, let them do it. Now that you have bought the things, go back quickly. I am afraid your mother-in-law should find someone by now.”

After everyone left, Old Lady Xu snorted, “Your thoughts are getting worse than an old lady like me. You think now is still the same as before.”

“Aunt Xiaoshu? Are you selling hair ties?”

“Xiaofen, did you buy something good?” Old Mrs. Xu saw that Li Xiaofen’s smile became more sincere.

Xu Leshu also smiled and shouted, “Auntie is here to go to the market. I’m bored so I’m going to make some small things to kill time. If you like any of them, pick two for Xiaoyu to take back.”

Li Xiaofen bent down and looked at the hair ties on the small table. Not to mention her daughter, even she liked them.

“All of this was made by Xiaoshu. This style looks good.”

Xu Leshu picked up one of each style and put it in Li Xiaofen’s basket: “Take all the ones that look good. These ones are not too bright in color, they are all suitable for Auntie.”

Seeing her expression, Li Xiaofen quickly shirked her responsibility: “No, I won’t give you any money. It will be troublesome to do this. I can’t just ask for it for free.”

Xu Leshu held her hand and said, “Aunt, why are you being so polite to me? They are just a few small hair ties. If you like them, just tell my relatives about them. How can I ask you for money? This is just being polite to me.”

Seeing this, Li Xiaofen had no choice but to accept it: “You are so polite to your aunt, so I would like to thank you on behalf of Xiaoyu.”

Li Xiaofen knew that Xu Leshu did this because of the testimony given by her two children last time.

Xu Leshu moved the stool aside: “How about Auntie sit down and chat for a while? It’s still early.”

Li Xiaofen was about to speak when she saw people standing next to her. They were two little girls who looked about the same age as Xu Leshu.

Seeing this, I quickly moved aside to let them see clearly.

“Xiaoyue!

This hair tie is pretty, and this one is also pretty. ”

A girl with freckles on her face picked up a pink pearl hairband and asked, “Boss, how much is this?”

“50 cents.”

Before the two little girls noticed anything, Li Xiaofen’s eyes widened slightly.

Looking at the same hair ties in the basket, they are actually so expensive.

“What about this?” asked another girl in a pink dress, holding the same hair tie as Xu Yueshu.

“This one costs eight cents.”

Li Xiaofen’s pupils widened. A hair tie was almost as expensive as meat.

“Eighty cents! It’s so expensive.” The girl with freckles on her face was shocked by the price.

Xu Leshu smiled and shook her head: “This is not expensive. It’s not expensive at all to buy happiness and beauty with only 80 cents. Besides, you haven’t seen this style before, right? It’s the only one in Jiangyuan City.”

I heard that the only girl wearing a pink circle skirt chose two 80-cent ones and two 50-cent ones.

“I want these four.”

“Minmin, it’s only 80 cents. This style is so beautiful. If it were sold for one dollar in a department store, they would have it. Besides, they don’t have it.”

Xu Leshu looked at them without saying a word. It was obvious that the girl in the pink dress was not short of money.

Xiaoyue gave the money to Xu Leshu and put a pink one on her head on the spot. Looking at her face in the mirror, she was very satisfied.

Minmin saw that her friend also looked good wearing them, so she gritted her teeth and picked up two, one for 80 cents and the other for 20 cents.

“Then I’ll take these two.”

Xu Leshu took the money with a smile: “Okay, if you think it looks good, come find me later.”

Li Xiaofen saw that she had earned more than three yuan in just these two minutes. Wouldn’t she have earned dozens of yuan in a day?

Seeing that they were busy, Li Xiaofen said hello and went back. Although she was surprised, she didn’t think much about it and just did her own thing well.

It wasn’t even afternoon yet, but they were all sold out at noon.

When he got home, Shitou closed the door and watched his second sister pour all the money onto the table, making a small pile.

Most of them are 50 cents, 10 cents or 20 cents.

While Old Mrs. Xu was cooking, the brother and sister were talking about their gains of the day at the table.

Actually, there’s no need to count. There are only seventy-eight in total. I know how many I gave away and how much money I made. It’s just that it’s inevitable that I’m a little excited about the first money I made.
