On the day of the market, in order to get a good seat, we set off before dawn.

Qiu Yu took a few cakes baked yesterday, filled some water with a sheepskin bag, and drove the bulk of the goods to the county on a cart.

The car was creaking and they walked for almost two hours before they arrived at the place.

The two of them got up early, and it was just dawn when they arrived at the county town. They quickly found a place to set up a stall. There is a big market held every half a month, and everything is sold on the street. Many people just lay out a ragged mat on the ground, but He Zifeng is a handyman, so he made two stands at home. Just prop it up with wood and place things on it.

The cloth took up space, so seven or eight half-pieces of cloth were placed, and twenty small bundles of cloth were placed. The two shelves are almost full.

It's rare to have a big market, and many vendors have not even set up shop yet, and customers come to the door first.

The fabrics in He Zifeng's family are all well-coded, with different designs and colours, but the stacked sizes are all the same.

Usually there are cloth sellers in the market, but those people spread a big mat on the ground and pile it up like a hill. But He Zifeng's stall looks very refreshing.

"How do you sell this fabric?" A young woman and an eleven or twelve-year-old girl stopped in front of the stall and asked.

He Zifeng said: "A pile of cloth ends of six colors costs five cents. The whole piece of cloth costs ten cents a piece, but it is slightly stained. It is not suitable for making clothes, but it is fine for other things."

When the woman heard this, she flipped it over and said, "It's okay." It wasn't a large area of ​​dyeing. Besides, the price of ten cents is also reasonable. Even if you don't make clothes, you can sew quilts for your home and make linings for cotton-padded jackets, which is of great use.

The woman picked three pieces at first glance. The large pieces of cloth were not as colorful as the small pieces. I bought two stacks of small pieces, and He Zifeng and the others sold forty coins when they opened.

He Zifeng asked Qiu Yu to collect it.

After a while, there were more people here.

"How to sell it?"

"This cloth is beautiful." People here were soon surrounded. The cloth here is not dismantled. Everyone can see the appearance by turning it over in their hands. The colors are quite bright. They all feel a bit picky.

If you like it, quickly take it in your hand and settle the accounts together, so as not to be snatched away by others.

"Five cents a wad."

People who get up early and come here know how to live their lives carefully. Generally, stall owners set prices cheaply in order to open their doors. He Zifeng also put goods on the two small wooden shelves, all of which were fabrics.

The guests handed over their money very quickly, for fear that others would snatch it away.

Qiu Yu greeted the guests, while He Zifeng kept loading the goods. Sell ​​as much as you take each time.

The most cost-effective ones are the whole cloth, which only costs ten cents. The total of more than ten yuan was quickly bought, and even the less beautiful ones were snatched up.

Small pieces of fabric come in many colors and are not expensive. There is no time when you have to sew one seam after another and it feels painful to pull out a big piece of fabric. At this time, you have to use a small piece of fabric.
