"Wait, did we really sell all the clothes?"
Joy Lloyd and the others had been busy from morning till dusk, and all the clothes they brought had sold out completely.
Those who arrived late and couldn't buy anything even asked if they would be back for the next market day.
They had never seen anything like it.
Grace Winslow rubbed her aching back and replied with a smile, "Of course. It's like this: say you go to the co-op to buy something. One item costs ten yuan, but another costs nine-ninety and comes with a small gift. Which one would you choose?"
"The nine-ninety one, of course," Joy Lloyd answered without a second thought.
"It's the same principle. Normally, if you bought these clothes at the co-op or a department store, a single piece would cost at least four or five yuan, and a full set would be no less than eight or ten. But now, for the price of one piece, you can get an entire set."
