Chapter 269: Caught in the act
Gu Ruyi ate a few mouthfuls of steamed buns and then went to Qinhua Market.
Although Qinhua Market belongs to the neighboring city, it is quite close to their hometown. If you take a shortcut, it will only take an hour.
And this market is very large, with a wide range of goods and relatively cheap prices.
During the holidays, many people prefer to go there to attend the market.
Gu Ruyi rode a bicycle and arrived at the market in half an hour.
While he was looking for a wholesale store for fabric materials, he saw Huang Chunjun looking around with a nylon bag on his back.
"Chun Jun? What are you doing?" Gu Ruyi bypassed the crowd, rode over, and propped herself up on the ground.
"Ah? Brother-in-law." Huang Chunjun looked at Gu Ruyi with empty hands, "Why are you here?"
"I'm buying something, what about you? What are you doing?"
< br>
"I, I'm just shopping."
"What did you buy?" Gu Ruyi raised her chin and pointed at the nylon bag.
"I bought some cloth for my mother."
Gu Ruyi nodded and said, "Okay, then go back quickly and come sit at home when you are free."
< br>“Okay, okay.”
Seeing Gu Ruyi walk away, Huang Chunjun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
We need to get rid of these things quickly.
Although his sister said it was a high-end product and asked him to charge more, he tried it just now and the price was too high and no one wanted it.
As for the wholesale market, who knows where it is.
He was too lazy to look for it.
He turned his head and vaguely saw a few sweaters hanging at the end of the alley on the left.
Maybe you can try your luck.
He turned a corner and walked into a small alley.
This alley is basically filled with snack bars, and at the end is a wool shop.
The shop owner is a middle-aged woman with oily hair and pink face, sitting there knitting a sweater.
After learning Huang Chunjun's purpose, she put down her needle and thread, walked out of the shop, and looked at the thread in the nylon bag.
Both wool thread and cotton thread are available, and the quality seems really good.
Just in time, she planned to hook a few vests, and this thread was just right.
She raised her head and looked at Huang Chunjun, and said: "The things are pretty good, how can I sell them?"
"Sister, you have really good taste. My sister sent these from the coast. We basically can’t find the high-end goods that come here.”
The woman smiled and said, "How do you plan to sell it?"
"A ball of wool thread is 10 yuan, and a ball of cotton thread is 7 yuan."
"Are you robbing money?" Woman He rolled his eyes and screamed, "You are not selling things sincerely at all."
Huang Chunjun quickly said: "Sister, you have also seen that I am The quality of the things is indeed good, and the prices I told you are all cost prices. To be honest, my mother planned to open a small store of her own a few days ago, so my sister sent these things. If my mother hadn’t suddenly fallen ill, I We won’t transfer these things at a low price.”
“It’s not so expensive. Who would buy it if it’s so expensive?” The woman walked into the shop.
Huang Chunjun was anxious: "Well, tell me a price."
The woman raised three fingers.
“Three yuan?” Huang Chunjun asked.
"Wool thread is three yuan, I want all of it. As for cotton thread, I can only pay 50 cents at most."
Huang Chunjun was a little angry, this was too low a price.
His sister said that these things are more than ten times more expensive than ordinary threads.
Does this woman know her stuff? Although this thing has no cost to him, he also wants to make more money.
He began to tie the mouth of the nylon bag.
When the woman saw that he was about to leave, she quickly said: "The market is like this. It doesn't matter which store you go to. Let's do this. I'll add another dollar for the wool thread. If it still doesn't work, then you can go to another store."
Huang Chunjun thought for a moment and realized that the wool thread he had brought over today had more than 20 skeins. If he sold it for 4 yuan, it would probably be worth hundreds of yuan.
Not bad.
"Okay, I just arrived at the market and was about to have some food. I happened to bump into you. It was fate, so I sold it to you cheaply. Do you want some cotton thread? There are also some embroidery Do you want to take a look at the needles and other tools used?"
Huang Chunjun said, taking out all the wool threads and preparing to take out the bottom plastic box.
“Chun Jun, what are you doing?”
A familiar voice startled Huang Chunjun.
He turned around and saw Gu Ruyi coming from this side on a bicycle.
"Sister, brother-in-law."
"What are you doing?" Gu Ruyi looked at the wool on her hand and looked at him suspiciously, "Where did you get the wool?"
“I belong to an aunt in our village. She asked me to help her sell it.”
The woman who owned the shop was stunned.
She looked at the two people in front of her and said, "Didn't you say that your sister sent it to your mother?"
Huang Chunjun hesitated and said: "Yes, yes."
Gu Ruyi immediately understood what was going on.
He said why this line looked so familiar.
He pulled open the nylon bag and took out several plastic boxes inside. When he opened it, he found that they were all from the embroidery factory.
"Chun Jun, tell me the truth, where did all this stuff come from?"
"My sister sent it to my mother before. My mother didn't need it, so I took it out. Sell it."
Gu Ruyi said in a deep voice, "You're not telling the truth, are you? Is this really from your sister?"
Huang Chunjun glanced at Gu Ruyi, who was very tall. Big, he instantly withered.
"Hey, are you still selling? If not, don't block the door of my store and affect the business." The woman shouted dissatisfied.
"Not for sale." Gu Ruyi said coldly, stuffed all the wool balls back into the nylon bag, and pulled Huang Chunjun aside.
"What's going on?"
Huang Chunjun honestly told what happened.
Gu Ruyi smashed her fist on the wall nearby, gritting her teeth in anger.
"Sister, brother-in-law, my sister is just confused for a moment. Don't blame her. If she knows that I told you, she will have to skin me."
"Your sister is confused. Are you confused too? Ask her how much she suffered while working in a factory in other places. Now that she finally has such a good opportunity, she actually thinks of speculation. "
"What my brother-in-law said is, I will give my sister a good talk later to stop her from being so stupid in the future."
Gu Ruyi gave him a cold look, tied the nylon bag to the bicycle, and rode away.

It was already afternoon, and Huang Chunyan was busy in the workshop.
This batch of rose-themed goods was in urgent need, so the county carpet factory sent a batch of goods a few days ago, about 50 pieces.
It was precisely because of the heavy workload that Guan Youshuang thought of asking Yang Yan to help with the remaining basic embroidery.
But for now, their embroidery factory still has to make these 50 pieces by themselves.
Huang Chunyan supervised the work carefully.
When Gu Ruyi walked in with a sullen face, Huang Chunyan was checking the color matching at the edge of the carpet.
"Are you back? Have you bought the thread?" Huang Chunyan raised her head, "The color number here doesn't feel right. Please give me the thread quickly and I will take a look."
"Come out." Gu Ruyi threw the purchased thread on the ground and walked out.
