Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Chapter 318 Purchase

Lin Qingyan spent a whole day strolling around Guangzhou in the 70s, visiting several large markets and learning about the popular clothing of the time.

Then she went from the space to the modern world, and continued to visit the modern night market at night. The next morning, Lin Qingyan went to the modern Yangcheng clothing wholesale market.

This was something she searched online. It was said that the clothes here were sold by weight, so she wanted to go and take a look to see if she could buy some.

It was the end of July and the beginning of August, and the wholesale market was already selling autumn clothes. Lin Qingyan was a little dumbfounded when she didn't see any summer clothes after a round of shopping. This was a good time to wear summer clothes, so why were all the autumn clothes on sale?

"Boss, do you still have summer clothes?"

Lin Qingyan didn't know that her words might cause the boss to misunderstand her and laugh at her. Look at what she said, selling summer clothes at this time, doesn't that mean her business is not good?

The boss glanced at Lin Qingyan who was asking the question and said to her:

"Little girl, it's already this late, why are you still coming to the wholesale market to buy summer clothes? In a few days we will all be buying winter clothes."

After saying that, he ignored the stunned Lin Qingyan and went straight into the store. The proprietress couldn't help but curse in her heart, saying that it was so annoying so early in the morning.

At this time, a sister who was pulling a cart to buy goods nearby saw this scene, looked at Lin Qingyan's outfit, and said to her with a smile:

"Little sister, you are not here to buy goods, are you? Are you here to buy clothes for yourself?"

"Sister, I want to buy some goods. I want to ask if there is any particular reason for this? Or does it look like I am buying some goods?"

Lin Qingyan looked at the pretty young lady who gave her a kind reminder and asked for advice.

"Your empty hands and bag don't look like you're here to buy goods. Next time, remember that when you buy goods, it's best to bring a small cart with you. Wherever you go, others will know that you're here to buy goods.

Also, you can’t carry your bag on your back, you have to put it in front, or carry a crossbody bag. Many bosses will quote prices based on the customer, so when you buy something, you have to look at several stores, compare the price and quality, and then place an order. "

The pretty young lady told Lin Qingyan this with good intentions, perhaps because she had been treated like this before.

"Thank you, sister. If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't know there are so many tricks." Lin Qingyan smiled embarrassedly.

The little sister who was pulling the cart and preparing to leave suddenly thought that this little sister was a little cute.

"If you want summer clothes, you need to go to another market. All the newest styles are here. Now is the time to buy autumn clothes.

The other market is full of leftovers, and now summer clothing manufacturers are selling them in packages there. You can just weigh them and buy them. The prices are very cheap, and even if you buy them now, they won’t last long.”

After the beautiful young lady told Lin Qingyan, she pushed the cart away.

"Sister, these peaches are grown from our own fruit trees. They are pesticide-free. Please try them. Thank you for telling me this."

Lin Qingyan took out a bag from her backpack, put two peaches in it, and stuffed them into the little sister's hand.

"Then you're welcome. Thank you, little sister!"

The girl took the peach handed to her by Lin Qingyan, waved goodbye to Lin Qingyan with a smile, and drove the cart to the next store.

Lin Qingyan followed the direction she pointed and came to another wholesale market. This place didn't look as high-end as before, and the shops didn't have high-end decorations.

It is a very simple and ordinary shop. There are not many girls walking around the streets here. Most of them are women in their thirties or forties. But this place gives Lin Qingyan a sense of security.

Lin Qingyan walked along the shops for a long distance before she realized that every shop was similar. There were very few clothes hanging inside, and most of the clothes were packed in bags and placed at the door, waiting for their new owners.

Lin Qingyan walked the entire street before she was sure that this was the place the young lady said where clothes were sold by weight.

She walked into a store and saw someone taking a bag of goods outside to the scale to be weighed. She stood by and watched. After others had finished their purchases and took their items away, Lin Qingyan went up to the store owner and asked.

"Boss, how much are the clothes here?"

The boss looked at her in surprise. She had a childish face and was not wearing any makeup. She was not like the girls nowadays who would wear heavy makeup on their faces when they were fourteen or fifteen, making it difficult to tell their actual age.

This little girl probably didn't even wipe the most basic things. The proprietress immediately took a liking to her and said to her:

"Little sister, the clothes here are sold by weight, so you don't have to be picky. These bags are all leftovers. You can take a look at the quality, but you can't be picky about the styles. Once you've chosen a bag, just bring it over to be weighed."

"Boss, can I see what kind of clothes are in there?"

The boss hesitated. According to the usual practice, such clearance goods were directly packed and weighed. Because the price was very cheap, she did not allow selection. However, she saw that Lin Qingyan seemed to really not understand, so she told her:

"Normally you can't choose what's in the package, but you can take a look at what's inside and choose which package you want."

"Thank you, boss. I will put the clothes back in after I check it and restore it to its original state."

After obtaining the boss's consent, Lin Qingyan poured out the clothes from a bag and looked at them one by one.

There are all kinds of cotton short-sleeved shirts, shorts, jeans, sports sweatpants, etc. The quality of the clothes is not bad, at least a little better than the clothes in the 70s.

She even saw jeans that were only released in the early 80s. Lin Qingyan used her mobile phone to search online for popular clothes during that time, and found that bell-bottoms and jeans were the most popular items among all the popular items.

She was at the Yangcheng Wholesale Market yesterday in the 70s and only saw bell-bottoms. Jeans were not yet on the market.

After much consideration, Lin Qingyan decided to buy some jeans so that she could sell them directly when they were on the market.

"Boss, how much are these clothes per pound?"

After Lin Qingyan finished reading, she put the clothes back into the bag and asked the boss.

"The prices vary from bag to bag, ranging from 5 to 20 yuan. You can choose whatever you like, it's definitely worth the price."

The boss is busy packing and sending goods to former customers.

"Here, this, and this, give me one pack each, boss. Please tell me how much it costs."

Lin Qingyan took one of the bags that the boss had divided into sections.

At this time, Lin Qingyan also went to the place selling carts nearby, bought a cart, put all the clothes she bought on it and pushed it away. Using the art of disappearing while walking, she slowly put several large bags of things into the space.

After leaving the wholesale market, Lin Qingyan found a snack shop with Yangcheng characteristics and ordered a rice noodle roll and barbecued pork buns. After eating, she went to the Exit-Entry Administration Bureau to apply for a Hong Kong and Macau Pass.
