"Squeak!"

Ma Weidu pushed open the small door of a courtyard house and fanned the dust in the air, "That's it, two rooms, the furnishings are quite passable, you can take a look." ”

Xu Fei took a look, it was similar to the layout of Ancheng, the inner room was a bed, there was no kang, and then there was a small stove that burned honeycomb coal, and there were wardrobes, tables and chairs and everything.

"Cheng, how to calculate the price?"

"My friend means that I will let you show you the house, don't damage it, and clean it again if you have nothing to do. You live first, and you don't want the two jujubes. ”

This good thing must be accepted, Xu Fei smiled: "Thank you for that friend, and thank you Teacher Ma." ”

"Hey, I'm a teacher, I'm all a friend. Ma Weidu smiled, and his small slitted eyes became more and more delicate.

In fact, he was quite surprised, just a few days ago, a phone call suddenly came to the editorial department, saying that Xu Fei was looking for. He thought for a moment before he remembered such a person, oh, the one who fought at the bus stop.

The two chatted and said that they wanted to rent a house, so please help ask.

Ma Weidu, like most of the children of the capital, also looks down on people in his bones, but he doesn't say it, this is better than Wang Shuo. After all, I got married and worked as an editor for a few years, and I came and went every day, and I could get by.

He belongs to the wilted and cunning kind, and when he poured out antiques, he offended people, and later came to his senses, saying that he would donate it to wash his body - in fact, it was his left hand to his right hand.

Lao Ma loves to make friends, in his own words, "The good and the bad are all made, and the character is a matter of the future." Character, character, slowly tasted is called character. ”

What's more, there was still a fight that didn't return the favor, so he helped to ask, and the result was that there was really a friend who went abroad and left an empty house.

The two of them came out, and they met an aunt in the main house who came back from grocery shopping, "Hey, what are you two doing?"

"Fifth friend, rent this house to live in. ”

"True friends, fake friends, don't fool the elderly, I can sue the police station. ”

"There's a mole on the back of the buttocks, you know?"

"Yo, that's a real friend, let's live. "Auntie has come into the house.

Subsequently, Xu Fei invited Ma Wei to have a meal, chatted casually, and did not talk deeply.

He can't help it, the houses in these years are all invested by the state, the units are issued, and the private ownership of housing is only allowed in the first two years. And if you are not familiar with life, you may not be able to find it if you look for it.

After sending the old horse away, he bought a bed, bedding and daily necessities, which meant that he would be stationed for a long time.

After dealing with it for a night that day, early the next morning, Xu Fei stepped on the train to Shencheng.

............

"This is a suburb, isn't it?"

On a hot afternoon, Xu Fei, who had been guiding the car repeatedly in a few days, rubbed his butt and came out of the Luohu bus station, looking up to a large area of green farmland, and there were green mountains not far away.

Luohu is far from what it once was, with a brick house and a row of thatched huts, but the construction site is nearby, with a new station building rising from the ground and a pedestrian bridge.

Opposite is Hong Kong's Lo Wu Railway Station, guarded by heavily armed soldiers.

Shencheng will implement a temporary residence permit system this year, but he glanced at it a few times, but he didn't see the joint defense team, so he walked boldly to the city with confidence.

Compared to other places, this place has a completely different charm. Backwardness and innovation coexist, agriculture and buildings coexist, on one side is the construction of buildings, on the other side is the muddy land, farmers drive cattle, leisurely wandering in the most prosperous areas of the later generations.

Xiangmi Lake is full of low-rise asbestos tile houses, and there are also Hakka houses by the river, and countless people carry large bags and small bags, with apprehension and yearning, to fight for the future.

Savage, rough, restless, passionate everywhere.

Xu Fei went to an area with a relatively concentrated population, found a hotel, rested for a while, and went to an old street under the guidance of the owner.

The old street is very prosperous, although there are no high-rise buildings, but it is flanked by all kinds of low-rise shops. The flow of people is endless, the trade is free, and it has the scenery of a small county town in the nineties.

He turned into an alley, where there were more than a dozen clothing stores.

The front is a shop, and the back is a workshop, all of which are small workshops, with more than ten or twenty sewing machines, which can make dozens or hundreds of clothes every day.

In the early days of reform and opening up, in order to reduce costs, Hong Kong moved a large number of garment processing and toy processing to Shencheng.

The accumulation of these primitive steps laid the foundation for the prosperity of Shenzhen's garment industry in the future.

Xu Fei casually entered a shop, the shop was very small, and there were clothes on the walls and shelves.

"Hello, what clothes do you want to buy?" a little girl came to entertain, and her Mandarin was not very fluent.

"Oh, I'll take a look first. ”

He took a turn and found that the styles were all very simple, mostly shirts and short sleeves.

"How much does this cost?" he asked, touching a good white shirt.

"XIV. ”

Good guys, half cheaper than in the north.

"What about this one?" he touched a light blue shirt with a slight embellishment.

"Twenty. ”

"What about this?" he touched a rough old man's shirt again.

"This one is the cheapest, five bucks. ”

The little girl was a little impatient, "Which one do you want?"

"I don't buy it, I'll just take a look. ”

He wiped his body and went out, the little girl was stunned, and then took a sip, "Don't you come out and pretend to be in the wild!"

Xu Fei visited more than a dozen stores in a row, and probably figured out the price.

Most of the clothes are more than a dozen yuan, the pure white ones are cheap, the colored ones are expensive, and the striped ones are even more expensive, among which the long-sleeved ones are two or three more expensive than the short-sleeved ones. The old man's shirt is the cheapest, because the fabric is inferior and thin, and he basically cuts out a hole and can wear it on his head.

There are very few colors and patterns, at most they are on white clothes, and then they print something - this is a matter of equipment and technology.

In the sixties, seventies and eighties, the price of clothes was always very expensive. Usually the unit issues uniforms, or makes their own clothes, buys clothes or something, and it is good to have one all year round.

So how do you make clothes?

As mentioned earlier, one meter of polyester white cloth costs six yuan and two inches of cloth tickets, and to make an adult shirt, it takes more than one meter of cloth. So I bought cloth for eight or nine dollars, and found a tailor to measure various sizes for two dollars, and then made it myself, or hired someone to do it.

The labor cost of sewing this link is the cheapest, and a few cents are high.

So you see, the cost of making one by yourself will cost more than ten yuan, let alone buying it. Especially for ordinary people, it is common for a piece of clothing to be worn in turns, and the smallest bare ass to run.

And Xu Fei looked around, the selling price was more than a dozen yuan, and the cost price had to be cheap, this business was done.

He hurried back to the hotel, rented a phone, and took out a note from his pocket, which was the factory introduced by a friend of Shi Yanqin, the costume designer of "Dream of Red Mansions".

The old-fashioned rotary phone, just listen to the click-click movement, dialing a number can make you tired, accidentally dial the wrong one, and you have to click from the beginning.

"Hey, is it the Huatian Garment Factory? Oh, I have an order I want to talk to you about. ”
