Returner's Magic Laundry

Chapter 10

A member who was standing in front of the woman who was holding my feet spoke in an annoyed voice.

“If you keep doing that, stand in front of me.”

“No, I am slow. I will go slowly.”

‘It’s the beginning of that lady again.’

“It’s not just a day or two. Instructor, please change your seat here. No, I don’t know why they keep standing behind me because they are fast.”

I know yeah.

In the end, her aunt had to come forward two spaces.

It shouldn’t be like that, but I thought it was a bit of a joke, so I laughed a little.

The commotion was over and the class was over.

Swimming, which I thought about giving up, was slowly becoming more fun as my skills were slow.

* * *

Returning home, I was lost in thought.

‘How can I get guests?’

There was a limit to even bringing laundry to people you know.

There were no people carrying heavy laundry and leaving it far away.

Laundry was close by.

To do that, we need to get the locals to use this laundry again.

Two ideas came to mind.

First, make a flyer stating that the first laundry is free.

Second, start a laundry delivery service.

I came to the conclusion that it is only a matter of time before word of mouth spreads even if the quality of laundry is as good as it is now.

Free laundry will have a great publicity effect.

Laundry delivery service will also get a good response.

‘I have to do business.’

When I have a goal, I am motivated.

[Movie Laundry Opening Ceremony!

The first laundry is absolutely free!

Duration is one month!

We also provide laundry delivery service.]

It was the idea of ​​giving the store a flowerpot brought from the forest as a gift.

After deciding on the wording for the advertisement, I ran straight to the print shop.

The print shop was also a bit far away, but within walking distance to our laundry.

As soon as I entered the printing house, I handed out a vase of flowers to the boss.

“Sir, this is our opening gift. It came from the movie laundry listed here.”

He pointed his finger at the name and phone number of the laundromat written on the flowerpot.

“Oh my gosh, the flowerpots are really luscious. Movie Laundry? But we use the independent laundry over there.”

The independent laundromat was another neighborhood laundromat a few blocks away.

The print shop was located right in the middle between our laundry and the independent laundry.

So there was no harm in using either one.

If word of mouth spreads, it will attract many customers.

“I have something to entrust to you, so I came here to promote it. Can you print this? About 500 pieces.”

The boss looked at the contents of the printout and asked again.

“Is the first laundry free?”

“Yeah. I inherited the laundry my parents used to run. We are holding an event to commemorate the opening.”

“Young man is proud. My son-in-law is crazy about the printing house. If it’s free, you should try it. If the people inside us are free, we can’t use our family. But how many sets are free?”

“One suit. I have to eat too. Instead, quality is guaranteed.”

“Only one suit? Laundry is there. Would it be different?”

‘Once you give it a try, you will be amazed.’

I wanted to say it, but I held back.

An experience is far more effective than a hundred words.

“Come pick up the print tomorrow. Thank you so much for the flowerpot. Growing up like this is annoying.”

“Yeah. Then, have a good time at work.”

I felt a little nauseous because I didn’t think the reaction was good.

On the way back, I took a look around the town.

There were many uphill roads, so it was difficult to walk even a little, and it seemed difficult to carry laundry to and fro.

‘I think a laundry delivery service would be well-received.’

Laundry will change a lot in the future.

There are coin laundries and many large-scale franchises.

In 1999, there were still no affiliated professional laundry service companies.

In 2009, I read an article that a company called ‘Bluetopia’ broke through its 1,000th store as a franchise business.

I thought for a moment that it wasn’t bad to gradually take a direction in that direction.

But even a thousand li must be well taken from the first step.

It was the mind of the customers that if they did not give a lasting impression to the customers, they would quickly fall away.

Now, it was only a laundry with a total sales of 48,000 won.

First, we had to look at the condition of the forest today.

It was quite difficult when it took a long time for the water to be purified.

It wasn’t that there was nothing to do as we had to pave a stone path to the forest.

* * *

Waiting for night to come, I closed the laundry and went through the portal to check the forest.

When I checked the creek, fortunately, the microorganisms came back to life and were roaming around.

‘I was kind of worried. After all, I didn’t spray that much detergent.’

The forest’s ability to purify was amazing.

Once I slept for about an hour in the forest, I acquired the ability to ‘simulate through imagination’.

And like yesterday, I was able to lay the remaining 50m of stone pavement.

The stone path was made to lead to the vicinity of the portal.

It didn’t take much effort, but somehow I was happy.

Next, I put my body through the portal and moved all the flowerpots to this world.

After sleeping again and acquiring the ‘simulation through imagination’ ability, the flowerpots could easily be moved to the forest, but sleep was not something that could be forced.

‘The vinyl house rear car should be completed soon.’

When the flowerpot was immersed in the stream, it came back to life like a lie.

‘I am amazed every time I see it. But is this a coffee tree?’

One flowerpot was bearing red fruits like coffee beans.

Come to think of it, I thought it had been too long since I drank coffee.

I was a coffee maniac enough to live with coffee in my mouth while filming.

‘Will the coffee grow well if I plant it here?’

In case the coffee would open, I pulled out a coffee tree and planted it in a suitable place.

After all the work was done, the pots were moved back into the house.

* * *

The next morning, on the way home from swimming, I stopped by a printing shop to pick up a flyer.

“While I’m on my way, please do some laundry. I wore it once yesterday because I had a funeral, so I was afraid to throw it away, so I washed it and wore it one more time.”

The printer owner entrusted me with the clothes.

“The first laundry is free, right?”

The boss said while pointing to the printed leaflet text.

“of course! I will do my best.”

“You can throw it away, so just give it to me. The laundromat has just opened, but how do you do it? People in our house say that it is rumored that his skills are not good? He said that the money they asked for throwing away all the clothes of the guests was not a penny or two.”

He was a straight-forward boss who said everything he had to say.

“It was like that at first, but now it’s a lot better. Didn’t the boss do this well from the start?”

“… … That’s right. When I started doing this… … .”

Hearing the introduction of the president’s life story, I hurriedly said hello and left.

If you get it wrong, you may have to listen to it all day.

It’s the story of my life. It’s enough for me to publish two or three paper books.

When I returned to the laundry, I put a leaflet right in front of the laundry door.

One line seemed insufficient, so they were attached side to side in one row.

Passers-by started squinting to see if it worked.

Next, we had to visit the place that used to be our regular laundry with flower pots.

First of all, I decided to become a mart aunt.

I had heard a lot about Aunt Mart from her mother.

When he had time, he would come to our laundromat and chat often.

He likes neat things, so even a small dust can leave his clothes at the laundry.

Besides, when I meet a lot of people at the mart, I like to chat, so there’s nothing like an aunt’s mouth to spread word of mouth.

The quality of vegetables is good because they check them carefully and they are almost all sold out by the evening, so they have excellent business acumen.

Besides, the person who opened a shop right next to the mart and sold coffee is the woman’s husband.

When I was cut off from my job during the IMF, there was also a story that it was a store that an aunt of a Mart remodeled a warehouse and gave it away.

‘Ah, the store next door was run by the aunt’s husband.’

I didn’t even know that fact.

Anyway, she was an old lady called Albuja in this town.

The mart woman was the number one customer I had to return to my side.

Having set a goal, I hurriedly headed to the mart.

As soon as I entered the mart, I dropped the flowerpot on the counter.

The lady who was counting the money because there were no customers at the time was surprised and turned around.

“Aww, that’s a surprise.”

The old woman panicked and hurriedly put her counting money into her teller machine.

Income looked good today.

“Annam, what is this? How is this flower pot so luscious? Did you grow up?”

“Yes, I bought a flower shop across the street and I’ve grown it a little more.”

“If you buy a flowerpot for that house, it will die soon, but you grew it well.”

I knew why the pollen died so quickly, but I didn’t say anything.

There was no need to deliberately spread bad words.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“The name of the store is written on the flowerpot. Are you promoting it?”

“Yeah, we have to start right now. It has already been three months since the store opened.”

“Don’t do that, why don’t you sell it and do something else? It seems that the owner of the clean laundry is paying attention.”

“No, the owner has a better laundromat than us, so why is that? Business is going well.”

“Originally, other people’s rice cakes look bigger.”

She groaned and held out the flyer in front of her aunt.

“Is the first laundry free? It’s fine, but I don’t know if you’d give it away for free because you ruined someone else’s clothes.”

“Then, give me the clothes you collected to throw away.”

“No, what are you going to do with the clothes you throw away?”

“Just give it to me.”

“Aww, okay.”

The old woman took out a bag of her coat from under her checkout.

“It’s a coat.”

“okay. It’s expensive, so I was thinking of taking it to a clean laundry for fear of ruining it. But you just do it. If you ruin it, you can throw it away.”

It was thrilling.

“I will never ruin it.”

“Okay. Please~”

He looked like he couldn’t believe me.

“And eat one of these. When I see you, I think of your mother and my heart aches. Please work hard on what you decided to do as a laundromat.”

She brought out a banana milk.

“I will enjoy this food.”

“Let me know if you need help.”

“Yes, Thank you.”

I ate banana milk and returned to the laundry with a light footstep.

Imagine the sight of many customers already lining up in front of the laundry to drop off their free laundry.

But somehow, in front of the laundry, only flies were flying.

‘People don’t come even if they say it’s free. It’s been a while since the flyers were posted, so let’s wait a little longer.’

She pushed open the laundry door helplessly and sat down on the chair.

Thirty minutes passed like that… … Finally, the door to the laundry opened with a creaking sound.

A female student in her gym uniform with a school uniform in her hand poked her head out.

‘uh? This student then… … .’

She was a student who was going to drop off clothes at our laundry, and her mother patted her on the back and headed to the clean laundry.
