"There's more money in the first lunar month, ten yuan a day," Ji Shuyuan replied. He had found this job of selling dolls through a stroke of luck.
"Then tell me, how much does the person who hired you to sell dolls make in a day?" Xu Nian'an asked again.
Ji Shuyuan was silent for a moment before saying, "Today, I sold 51 dolls, three yuan each, that's 153 yuan in revenue. Calculating with a cost of two yuan per doll, there's a profit of one yuan for each, so for 51 dolls, I made fifty-one yuan."
"You calculated that very accurately." Xu Nianhua wasn't bad at math but disliked calculating such things.
Especially before the New Year, the calculations had given him a headache.
"No, if it were in Ningbei, these dolls could be sourced for just over one yuan. If you buy in bulk, the price could be even lower." Xu Nian'an had visited that wholesale market, seen a lot, and liked to ask for prices to get a general idea.
