Chapter Seventy-Nine: Labor Cloth Head
Zhang Fangfen's three brothers and sisters, I don't know what the reason is, my uncle and mother are both rural hukou, and only my aunt is a quantitative hukou.
Probably, when I was just liberated, my mother's family was also a small owner, but not in Sanshui County, but in a town below to do some small business.
Later, the countryside was divided into fields, and my grandfather agreed that the youngest daughter would take a certain amount of hukou to stay in the town to go to school, and the son and eldest daughter would return to their hometowns to divide the land and cultivate the land, and it became a rural hukou.
At that time, I didn't know that as long as it was a quantitative household registration, the state would arrange work, thinking that if I had land, I would not worry about food and clothing, but who knew that all the acres of land that I had allocated would be returned to the collective within a few days, and I would suffer a loss to my grandmother's family.
To tell the truth, Huang Daozhou is a very competent husband, he loves his wife, loves his children, bears hardships and stands hard work, and he will save half a baked cake and a piece of sugar from his colleagues and bring them to his children.
My uncle-in-law is the son of a broken capitalist, who is so poor that it doesn't hurt people, and he is impatient to educate his children, and he lives heartlessly.
But he also writes with a beautiful brush like Huang Daozhou, but unfortunately there are too many people who can write a good brush this year, and basically there is no fart.
Only when helping colleagues and neighbors write Spring Festival couplets before the Chinese New Year can you hear a few words of compliment to satisfy your vanity.
Under normal circumstances, nine out of ten people who write Spring Festival couplets to their neighbors are poor, and they are all unconvinced by each other, and they all think that their own words are better than others.
Huang Han still remembers that Huang Daozhou has said more than once that his words are magnificent and atmospheric than that of his sister-in-law.
At that time, Huang Han didn't understand, and he wouldn't have asked questions such as, "Since your calligraphy is so powerful, why can't you sell it for money?"
Fortunately, Huang Han didn't say such a thing, otherwise it is very likely that his butt would be beaten and he would not be able to sit on the stool for several days.
To tell the truth, in this era, the parents who are often angry outside see their children when they come home, and they are everywhere when they beat their children, and Huang Han was beaten a lot when he was a child.
Parents beating their children does not mean that they do not love their children, and children who are beaten by Lao Tzu will not hold grudges, let alone be vulnerable enough to need psychological counseling.
The children of this era are strong in their hearts, and the bruises on their bodies have not retreated, and there are not a few who continue to beg for the next beating.
My aunt's family has an incompetent head of the family, and the direct result is that the three children have strong self-care skills, and they can cook and cook at a young age.
The poor uncle-in-law is still a vassal and never tired of it, always fantasizing about writing something and making a splash.
It's a pity that literary talent is closely related to talent, and he has never succeeded in writing all his life, only occasionally one or two small articles are published in newspapers and periodicals with average circulation, and the manuscript fee he earns is not enough to buy pen and paper and pay postage.
After 2,000 years, the economic level improved slightly, and he also spent his own money to publish a book, which turned out to be exactly the same as the book "Confinement" played by Song Dandan in Zhao Benshan's sketch.
The current uncle-in-law doesn't know what the reason is, he doesn't have a formal job, and he always can't work long as a temporary worker, because he has been squeezed out of his job by someone he has a relationship with.
When he was a child, Huang Han didn't doubt such a statement at all, thinking that society is unfair and honest people suffer big losses.
Later, when I grew up and came into contact with society, I realized that the real reason was my uncle's own husband.
It's very simple, a temporary worker who thinks he is talented is a handicap in reality, the leader doesn't want to see him, and his colleagues reject him, and he must be the first person to get out.
Huang Han comforted Zhang Fangfen and said: "Mom, when the 'backpack' is made, you can ask your aunt to use your off-duty time to help make it at home, and you can give her a dollar a day." ”
"Well, my aunt's short working experience and salary are not high, four yuan a month less than your father, she can really earn a dollar a day, she can pay a day's salary, if she knows, she must be happy. ”
"Auntie comes to the house to help sew, must use our sewing machine, Mom, you have to learn to be a leader in the future, your main job is to grasp the quality, distribute the material, zipper, button calculation should be given. ”
"I know, I just don't know if the 'backpack' business can last long?"
"It definitely won't be long, but it shouldn't be a big problem to do it for three or five months, the key is to have the capital, otherwise if you make one or two hundred, the family will have no money to buy zippers for wages." ”
Huang Han roughly estimated that if all the "labor cloth" cloth heads were used for one dollar and one bundle, the cost of a "backpack" should be between two and a half cents to three yuan.
If you press 200 goods, you have to have a principal of about 500 yuan, and you don't need to consider the freight when you ship it to Shanghai, but Huang Han needs time to go to Shanghai to complete the sales, and it is not possible to go by yourself, at least Zhang Fangfen must accompany him.
The best time to sell should be a few days before the start of school after the winter vacation, how big Shanghai is, Huang Han is quite familiar with that place, such a fashionable, sturdy, durable "labor cloth backpack", he is confident that he can sell hundreds in a few days.
You need to spend money everywhere, and the plan to buy a house and open a small shop has not yet been completed, which is the focus of the next month or two.
Zhang Fangfen thought for a while and asked, "Why don't you sell it on the street while doing it?"
"Mom is so smart, but I don't want to sell it with us. ”
"Why?"
"The main reason is that it can't be sold at a high price, and the secondary reason is that I am worried that people will look at this business, and they will also go to the 'Oriental Red Cloth Factory' to buy cloth heads, which will compete with our family.
So it's only half sold and half given to acquaintances. Let the family not see the profits, and for the time being, they can't make 'backpacks' and sell them for money, so as to avoid Zhang Chunmei's mother being difficult to do. ”
"I understand, can my family take advantage of the fact that the cloth is good and cheap, the two houses of your uncle's house in the backyard have been empty, we can put the cloth head for the time being. ”
"Mom, your business acumen is absolutely natural, this is a golden idea, even if you sell rags and rotten cotton, you can't lose much even if you sell 'labor cloth' cloth, and my family will definitely buy as much as you can in the future. ”
Huang Han actually planned to do so, and when he saw Zhang Fangfen say it first, he immediately slapped his ass, not hypocrisy, but Huang Han deliberately did so.
Parents have been suppressed for too long, and they need a sense of accomplishment to restore their self-confidence, and if they have self-confidence, they will not worry about their fighting spirit.
At this time, China's materials were in short supply, not only rags and rags of cotton could be sold for money, but even the pig bones that had been gnawed while eating meat could be saved up and sold to recycling companies, and a pound could also be sold for one or two cents.
The price at which the "Dongfang Red Cloth Factory" sells cloth heads is also sold by the pound, and a bundle is full of 30 catties, which is only less than a penny more expensive than selling rags and rotten cotton.
After being fully affirmed by her son, Zhang Fangfen was really happy, and said proudly: "What's this, I have already followed your grandfather to do business when I was as old as you, and I was much more profitable than your grandfather at that time." ”
"I believe it, I know that my mother does everything faster than others, and our family's business will definitely be rich in your hands in the future. ”
"As long as the policy remains unchanged, I will definitely be able to do a good job as a self-employed person, I have never thought that doing a small business is inferior, and the salesperson of the state-run store is not also doing business and selling things?"
"That's right, the money that salesmen make from doing business is not their own at all, and there is no comparison with your business, maybe the money you earn from doing business for a month can top the salary of ten salesmen!"
"I didn't want to earn so much, I was satisfied with their salary of three or five. ”
"Mom, there are five zippers on the backpack in different sizes, three buttons, two pockets closed with elastic bands......"
Huang Han's 'backpack' did not use zippers because there were no ready-made zippers at home.
He replaced the pull exercise with a "buttonhole" made of buttons and small strips of cloth sewn on the outside, and then explained to Zhang Fangfen where the zipper should actually be used.
Zhang Fangfen is a professional, she said: "The eldest daughter-in-law of the Xu family works in a garment factory, and she is still a small cadre, I don't remember whether Qing is the captain or the squad leader."
Garment factories need a lot of zippers and buttons every year, and there are factories that specialize in making these things, as long as they are in a size that can be stated, they will have them.
I went to inquire and inquire, I could buy it in the garment factory, or I could ask where the garment factory bought it from, and ask someone to bring some to my family when the garment factory delivered the goods. ”
"Well, it's hard to negotiate the price if you buy less at one time, so I suggest talking to people at least 100 sets. ”
"I know that if you can buy a lot from the garment factory, you don't need to buy a lot at once, and if you want to buy directly from the cooperative unit of the garment factory, people may ignore the small quantity. You don't have to worry about this, I won't need to find out in a few days. ”
"Mom's ability, I am convinced, and when the cloth of the 'labor cloth' arrives home tomorrow, a bundle of how many 'backpacks' can be made should be able to be estimated. ”
Zhang Fangfen said with confidence: "There is an advantage to making bags, the fabric in many places is not large, as long as it is clever, basically there will be no waste of fabric." ”
