Chapter 34: Returning Customers Like a Tide

Similar situations happened in various places today.

As the saying goes, “Good wine needs no bush.”

Today, over 500 pieces were sold, attracting at least several times that number of potential customers.

Early the next morning, Xu Sangluo went to the county again.

But Chen Tao didn’t go with her this time. Qin Zhiyu came instead.

It was her turn to take a day off to take care of Qin Mama.

But Qin Mama sent her out to help Xu Sangluo.

After all, there were still people coming to work during the day, and her foot was almost completely healed.

Qin Zhiyi thought that they were just selling things today, so Qin Zhiyu should be able to handle it, so he agreed.

So Qin Zhiyu happily went with them.

They arrived in the county at about the same time as yesterday, even a little earlier.

Xu Sangluo went directly to the place where they had set up their stall yesterday.

She thought there might be some repeat customers, so she could sell them first.

Maybe it would also drive a wave of follow-up sales.

She was right.

The car had just stopped, and the goods hadn’t even been fully displayed.

Someone with sharp eyes excitedly approached.

“Comrade, I thought you wouldn’t be here today. Your hair accessories are really nice. My colleagues were all asking about them yesterday.”

Xu Sangluo smiled, “I should be setting up here for a while every morning for the next few days.”

“Okay, give me this one. I want five. And this one, this one…”

She pointed to over a dozen hair ties, hair flowers, and headbands.

She also bought over twenty hair clips, making her a big customer.

Qin Zhiyu was dumbfounded.

Even in town, where there were so many wealthy people, no one bought things like this.

The people in the county were so rich.

They spent tens of yuan without blinking an eye.

Xu Sangluo knew that she must be buying for her colleagues or friends.

She smiled and handed her the paper bag, also giving her a beaded hair clip, “This is for you. Thank you for placing such a large order.”

The woman’s eyes lit up. She didn’t refuse and smiled, “You’re welcome, you’re welcome. Thanks.”

People kept coming to buy hair accessories.

Yesterday, with Qin Mama, they had eleven people working, and their efficiency was amazing.

Although they were slow at first when they were learning.

But they got faster and faster.

After all, they had been using needles for decades.

So the amount they made yesterday was also considerable, about 3,000 pieces.

Xu Sangluo simply brought them all.

Fortunately, the business was also very good in the morning.

A wave of returning customers attracted new customers who came to watch and follow the trend.

And many people also helped buy things or wanted to send gifts, buying several pieces at a time.

In the morning, they sold at least over a thousand pieces.

Qin Zhiyu finally experienced what it meant to “have your hands sore from collecting money.”

Because she remembered that she had to treat them to dinner.

So they didn’t try to make another round during the rush hour after work.

Instead, they packed up early and waited outside the textile factory.

Qin Zhiyu was curious about everything in the county.

When she learned that they were going to eat at a state-owned restaurant for lunch, she was so excited.

The textile factory bell rang, and soon Xu Xingtao and Liang Yu walked out together.

“Brother Xu, Brother Liang.”

Although her voice wasn’t loud, it still attracted the attention of some people.

At this time, people usually called each other “comrade.”

Calling someone brother or sister was usually reserved for people who were close.

Xu Sangluo was used to it from her decades in the future, but others didn’t know. They thought she was related to them.

Xu Xingtao and Liang Yu walked over when they saw her.

“Why are you waiting here? Have you been waiting for a long time?” Xu Xingtao asked.

“No, I arrived on time. I just finished work. Let’s go eat.” Xu Sangluo pointed to the tricycle.

The two of them understood.

“Is this your sister? Little sister, nice to meet you. My name is Liang Yu. You…”

“What’s your name?”

Qin Zhiyu was a little shy, mainly because this man was too familiar and looked a bit like a creepy uncle.

“Hello, my name is Qin Zhiyu.”

The two men raised their eyebrows. Qin?

Xu Sangluo smiled, “My friend’s sister, also my sister.”

They nodded, introduced themselves to each other, and then walked towards the restaurant.

Xu Sangluo asked about their tastes and preferences.

Then Liang Yu took Qin Zhiyu to find a seat and chat with her.

Xu Sangluo and Xu Xingtao stayed behind to order.

They ordered two jin of rice and dishes like honey-glazed barbecued pork, roast duck, tomato beef, steamed shrimp, and garlic chives.

This time, she was experienced and specifically asked about the portion sizes.

If the portions were too large, they could choose how much they wanted.

When Qin Zhiyu saw the dishes being served, her eyes widened.

She had never seen so much delicious food since she was born.

After dinner, Xu Sangluo gave them each a paper bag.

“What’s this?”

Liang Yu looked at the paper bag, confused.

“It’s some small hair accessories I made. You can give them to your family or friends. Your sister should like them.”

“That’s not right. You’re going to sell them. Dinner was enough.” Xu Xingtao frowned and pushed the paper bag back.

Xu Sangluo didn’t take it back. She said, “It’s not anything expensive. It’s just a little token of my appreciation.”

Then she winked at them, “I also have a selfish motive. Maybe your family will use them and help me develop more potential customers.”

Xu Xingtao was momentarily stunned by her rare playful smile.

Liang Yu raised an eyebrow, “You’re a future big boss. You really think ahead.”

He thought for a moment, “Why don’t you pick out a few more for me? I’ll give them to some people, but I’ll have to charge them this time.”

Xu Sangluo couldn’t help but laugh, “Okay, then thank you, Brother Liang, for opening my business.”

The things were still in the car, covered with cloth.

She pulled back the cloth covering the top and let him choose first.

Seeing the dazzling array of hair accessories in the car, the two big men who came with her were stunned.

“So many? Did you make all of these?”

Xu Sangluo shook her head, “No, I hired people to make them.”

Qin Zhiyu proudly added from the side, “My sister Sangluo taught them how to do it.”

Liang Yu immediately clicked his tongue and gave a thumbs up, “Impressive.”

“You pick for me. I don’t know what girls like. Maybe about a dozen.”

Xu Sangluo didn’t stand on ceremony. After asking him about the general personality and preferences of the people he was giving them to, she quickly picked out a dozen hair ties.

Xu Xingtao also asked her to help him pick out 20.

But he was just helping her open an account.

The car was parked in front of the restaurant.

There were still many people coming and going, eating or strolling on the street.

Their actions quickly attracted the attention of others.

After all, they were all handsome men and beautiful women, and they were very eye-catching standing together.

Then, many people noticed the various hair accessories in the car.

Some women couldn’t help but come over to take a look.

Once they saw them, they couldn’t leave and ended up buying a few pieces.

Then, they slowly attracted others around them to come and buy.

The county was different from the town. There had been many people setting up stalls to do business here since two years ago.

So everyone was familiar with this model and didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

With so many people, Xu Xingtao and Liang Yu also helped with packaging and collecting money.

This place wasn’t far from the textile factory, and there were many people coming out of the factory.

Seeing the two of them selling things, they also came over curiously to ask.

When they learned that they were helping a friend sell, they also bought one or two pieces out of courtesy.

Then they discovered that it was a treasure trove of a stall.

Some men also bought things, just two pieces for their families out of courtesy.
