Chapter 197 Setting up a stall

After a day and night of rest, Gu Qingyu finally regained her former spirit. After a good rest, Gu Qingyu began to prepare for her sales trip.

While Sun Lei and the others were still here, Gu Qingyu took out some of the squeezed clothes from the sack and hung them in the yard to dry and sort them out.

At least it should look good when sold. You can't sell wrinkled clothes, as that will look low-quality.

Yesterday, Chen Mingzhu insisted on coming to set up the stall with Gu Qingyu and the others. Before Gu Qingyu could even unpack the clothes, Chen Mingzhu had already arrived in the yard.

As soon as she entered the door, Chen Mingzhu saw Gu Qingyu busy in the yard and asked anxiously, "Qingyu, is there anything I can help you with?"

Gu Qingyu looked at the enthusiastic Chen Mingzhu and couldn't help but feel her head buzzing. If this young lady came over and couldn't help her, how could she really ask her to do any work?

"Please sit in the pavilion next to you. Wait until I finish the work at hand. I have an important task for you!"

Chen Mingzhu asked curiously, "Ah? What important mission?"

Gu Qingyu was arranging the clothes on her hands and said to Chen Mingzhu, "How about you be my model while I match the clothes?"

Chen Mingzhu became excited when she heard this. She had read those celebrity magazines from Hong Kong and knew what models were!

"Are you really going to let me be a model?" Chen Mingzhu asked in disbelief.

"Of course! But you have to wait a moment, let me finish the work at hand!"

Chen Mingzhu couldn't wait any longer, seeing Gu Qingyu busying herself, and said, "Yeah, I'll help you with it, it will be faster this way!"

Gu Qingyu paused while tidying up the clothes, and complained inwardly: Didn’t I send her to be a model? Why does she still have to come over to help?

Fortunately, at this time, Zhou Weiguo and others came to help, and Gu Qingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You're here just in time. Hurry up and take out the clothes and straighten them out. Take the heavily wrinkled clothes out to the yard to dry!" Gu Qingyu instructed Zhou Weiguo and others who had just entered the yard.

With the help of Zhou Weiguo and others, Gu Qingyu let go of everything and pulled Chen Mingzhu into the house to start matching clothes.

Although Chen Mingzhu is a very delicate person, it has to be said that she is really good-looking. Not only does she have delicate features, but she also has fair skin and a tall figure.

When she wears a simple dress, her class immediately looks much higher, and she is simply a walking clothes rack.

Chen Mingzhu liked every outfit she had just tried on. She was a little undecided, so she asked, "Qingyu, which one should I wear tomorrow?"

Gu Qingyu felt that she didn't need to spend too much time thinking about what clothes to match. As long as Chen Mingzhu stood next to the stall tomorrow, it would be a living signboard. Was she still worried that no one would come to buy?

"Whatever! You'll look good in any outfit!"

"But I like all the clothes I just matched, and I can't make up my mind!"

Gu Qingyu rolled her eyes helplessly upon hearing this, and said to Chen Mingzhu, who was still struggling, "In that case, if you don't mind the trouble, then you can bring all these clothes with you tomorrow and change into a new set every hour."

"Really?"

Chen Mingzhu said happily after hearing this, "Then I will really listen to you!"

When Chen Mingzhu heard what Gu Qingyu said, she was so happy that she didn't know what to do. "Then I will really listen to you?"

Gu Qingyu nodded randomly and said perfunctorily, "Yeah, as long as you are happy!"

When Gu Qingyu and Chen Mingzhu came out of the house, the clothesline in the yard was already full of clothes hung on it by Zhou Weiguo and others.

Seeing this, Gu Qingyu said to Zhou Weiguo and the others who were still busy, "Brother Zhou, sit down and rest for a while. It's a good opportunity for us to discuss setting up the stall tomorrow!"

Zhou Weiguo and the other three had already hung out most of the clothes that Gu Qingyu had just brought out to dry. When they heard Gu Qingyu say that she wanted to hold a meeting to discuss setting up the stall, they quickly put down their work and responded, "Hey! I'll be right there!"

After everyone was seated, Gu Qingyu spoke slowly, "Houhai Park attracts many young people, and our clothing styles tend to be youthful, so I plan to try it out there tomorrow. What do you think?"

Zhou Weiguo nodded when he heard this. He thought what Gu Qingyu said was very good. He couldn't have thought of this anyway!

"Miss Gu, we have no experience in selling things, so we will do whatever you say!"

Seeing Zhou Weiguo and the others like this, Gu Qingyu knew that they had no good ideas. So, he turned to look at Chen Mingzhu and said, "What about you? Do you have any good ideas to add?"

Chen Mingzhu didn't expect Gu Qingyu to ask her for advice. While she was happy, she lowered her head and thought for a while before slowly saying, "I think the dress you just matched for me looks great. How about I bring a few more girls over to be your models tomorrow?"

Gu Qingyu was delighted when she heard this. She looked at Chen Mingzhu expectantly and said, "It would be great if a few more people could come!"

"Well, I'll bring you the clothes we just put together, and you can have your sisters try them on!"

"For those who are willing to come, not only will their clothes be given to them, but they will also be paid ten yuan a day!"

Chen Mingzhu was originally still racking her brains over how to convince her friends to come and help. After hearing what Gu Qingyu said, she immediately patted her chest and promised, "Qingyu, don't worry. I promise to get people over for you tomorrow!"

Gu Qingyu looked at Cheng Mingzhu, who was full of confidence, and said expectantly, "Then I'll wait for your good news!"

The next day, everyone gathered in Gu Qingyu's courtyard. In addition to Zhou Weiguo and others, Sun Lei also took a special leave to come and help. As for Chen Mingzhu, she brought four or five of her little sisters to occupy the pavilion in the courtyard!

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Gu Qingyu found a stool and stood on it, then said to everyone in the yard, "Comrades, whether we can have a successful start today depends on your efforts. Let's set off now!"

Everyone in the yard looked at Gu Qingyu's passionate expression and shouted out of respect, "Let's go!"

This group of about ten people attracted the attention of passers-by as soon as they walked out of the yard. It was because Chen Mingzhu was leading a few girls walking in the front, which was too eye-catching!

These girls are already beautiful women with graceful figures. Now wearing the clothes worn by Gu Qingyu and the others, they are simply a moving and beautiful landscape on this street.

Along the way, Gu Qingyu noticed that several young men were staring at people in a daze and bumped into the nearby electric poles.

When Gu Qingyu and the others arrived at Houhai, they were followed by a lot of onlookers. Some came to see the beauties, but more were young girls who were attracted by the clothes on the models and planned to buy clothes.

Before Gu Qingyu and the others could even show off their clothes, some impatient people had already spoken up, "Boss, I want the same clothes as this woman is wearing!"

"I want a set of clothes like the one that lesbian is wearing!"

"Boss, give me a set too!" For a moment, Gu Qingyu's stall was surrounded by people rushing to buy clothes.

"I saw this dress first, why are you trying to snatch it?"

"What do you mean you chose it first? Have you paid for it? If you haven't paid, you can't say for sure who it belongs to."

"I asked for it first, so the clothes are mine!"

"Whoever pays first will own the clothes? Boss, please give me the price quickly. I want to pay!"

Gu Qingyu saw that this was not going to work. Before the clothes were even bought, these people outside started fighting.

"Everyone, listen to me. Don't push. There are plenty of clothes. Just line up first!"

Sun Lei also spoke up after hearing this, "Yes, yes, yes, don't squeeze, those who are waiting in line will buy first, everyone line up first!"

"Those who want to buy a set line up on the left, and those who want to choose individually line up on the right!"

"Our clothes are all the latest styles, wholesaled from Guangzhou. All clothes are clearly marked with prices. No bargaining is allowed. It's first come, first served. If the size is sold out, it will be gone."

After Gu Qingyu took out the price tags and put them away one by one, the crowd immediately started talking.

When some older people saw the price Gu Qingyu listed, they immediately sighed, "My God, 30 yuan for a coat, that's almost half a month's salary for me, it's too expensive!"

However, the young people's attitude towards the price is exactly the opposite. "I saw a similar coat at the mall before, it was 66, and the price here is half of that!"

"Is it really that much cheaper?" someone asked in disbelief.

"That's fake! I was planning to buy it after I got my salary this month, but I didn't expect to find something similar here!"

After the young woman finished speaking, she ignored the others who were still hesitating and said to Gu Qingyu, "Boss, I want this coat. Please pack it for me!" Then she couldn't wait to hand over thirty yuan to Gu Qingyu.

The others who were still hesitating were also tempted when they saw the girl in front of them take off her clothes so neatly.

Besides, the styles of these clothes are really beautiful. When you think about this, there is no need to hesitate. Just go for it!

"Qingyu, I didn't expect this business to be so good!" Sun Lei said to Gu Qingyu with emotion while he was busy collecting money.

"These people are too crazy!" Chen Mingzhu sighed.

Gu Qingyu was so busy that she had no time to deal with these two people. "Okay, get back to work. We're all over the place!"

Fortunately, they have enough manpower today, otherwise they might not be able to handle it all if this group of people rush over!

"This yellow dress is out of stock. Please look at other styles!"

"The red one is out of stock? Do you have any other colors? Bring them to me right away!"

"Do you want any white ones?"

"The only thing left is the white one? I don't want it then!"

"Boss, she doesn't want me, so give me the white one!"

……

In just a short while, many styles were out of stock.

The first girl who came to Gu Qingyu's stall to buy clothes had not left yet. Seeing this situation, she couldn't help but feel secretly proud: Fortunately, she listened to the stall owner and followed the first-come, first-served principle. Otherwise, if she acted too late, she might not be able to grab the clothes that she liked.

Those who picked the right styles paid for the clothes and left contentedly, but those who didn’t get the right clothes because the sizes were out of stock were unhappy!

"Boss, many of your styles are out of stock. Please restock them quickly!"

"Exactly! I've got my eyes on three or four styles, but they're all sold out."

……

Gu Qingyu looked at the people in the crowd who didn't choose any clothes but were reluctant to leave, and said helplessly, "I'm sorry everyone! Please forgive me for my lack of preparation on the first day of the stall!"

"We'll be setting up our stall here again at 4pm this afternoon, and we'll have a new batch of goods arriving. If you have time, you can come and have a look this afternoon!"

"New stock? Boss, you need to be more prepared. We can't have a lot of clothes sold out like this this morning!"

"Four o'clock, right? My wife gets off work early today, so I can bring her over to choose clothes!"

"Well, I'll go back and tell my sisters to come over and take a look!"

Knowing that Gu Qingyu would set up a stall in the afternoon, everyone had already started thinking about going home to inform relatives and friends to come over for shopping!

Gu Qingyu listened to the discussions of the onlookers and was very happy. It seemed that their first day of setting up the stall would be a great success!

Gu Qingyu saw that there were only a few clothes left from the clothes she had brought in the morning, and she didn't plan to stay here any longer.

"Everyone, most of the clothes are sold out now. We are about to close the stall. Friends who need them, please come back at 4 o'clock this afternoon!"

When Sun Lei and others heard Gu Qingyu say that he wanted to close the stall, they immediately felt relieved. They had been very busy for the past two hours, and many of them had even lost their voices from shouting!

After making an appointment with several models to gather here at 4 pm, Gu Qingyu and the others moved the remaining clothes back to the tricycle, and then the group went home happily.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Sun Lei urged Gu Qingyu to start counting the accounts. He was eager to know how much money they had earned this morning.

To be honest, Gu Qingyu was also curious about this morning's earnings. "So, shall we take stock now?"

When they heard about the accounting, everyone became excited. They all sat around the large square table in the living room, waiting for Gu Qingyu to bring over the box containing the money.

Gu Qingyu turned the box upside down, and with a clatter, all the coins and banknotes inside fell onto the table.

Everyone didn't need Gu Qingyu's instructions. Some counted coins, some counted banknotes, and they divided the work and cooperated with each other. In a short while, they counted all the money!

Chen Mingzhu looked at the final total amount and said in surprise, "Oh my god! It's over 6,000!"

Sun Lei was also surprised when he heard this, "We only sold it for more than two hours this morning, right?"

"This is too much money!" Zhou Weiguo and others said in disbelief.

Gu Qingyu looked at everyone's dazed expressions and burst out laughing, "Okay, everyone has come back to their senses!"

"This is just our turnover. After deducting the costs, the actual profit is not that much!"

Of course Sun Lei knew that the more than 6,000 was just the turnover, but he knew the purchase cost!

Sun Lei became more and more excited as he thought about it. He said to everyone, "But even so, our net profit is nearly three thousand!"

"And we sold less than one-fifth of our inventory this morning. How can I not be excited?"
