Chapter Twenty-Three: It's better to have a daughter in hand than a skill
"What do you mean, girl, that I should quit being a tailor and help you manage the garment workshop?" Tailor Wang asked Yin Qianhe suspiciously. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Hmm. But it's not exactly that you don't do the tailor's job, but you don't have to do a lot of things yourself, such as cutting and sewing, as long as you point to the workers below and make the clothes they make meet the requirements. Yin Qianhe explained.
Deng Shi leaned up and asked, "It's the same as taking an apprentice?"
Yin Qianhe said: "Almost."
"So, how do you get paid?"
"Eight dollars a month, how about it?"
After hearing this, Deng pulled Tailor Wang aside and whispered, "Dad, you can do this job, you don't have to be so tired and tired to make your own clothes in the future, and you can earn more money than being a tailor."
Tailor Wang gave her a blank look, "Don't talk nonsense. ”
"How is it nonsense? Eight hanging money. ”
"Money money money, you like money."
"Of course, firewood, rice, oil, and salt are not money. Money is the king, of course I like it. ”
Tailor Wang ignored her and turned to talk to Yin Qianhe.
Yin Qianhe saw that Tailor Wang's face was embarrassed, so he asked, "What difficulties does Master Wang have?"
"Miss Yin, although I can't make a lot of money as a tailor, I still like to work on my own. So ......"
Deng Shi hurriedly stopped him, "I said you, why are you so ignorant?" It's rare that Miss Yin looks up to you, and you hand over such a good errand to you, and you still think about your broken needles and rulers. ”
Tailor Wang said, "What do you know about a woman?" When my father handed us this craft, he used to say that it is better to have a skill than a daughter. The craft of tailoring feeds our family, what's so bad. I've been doing it for more than 20 years, and I think it's good to be a tailor, and I'm happy to do it. ”
Just as people are attached to the land they live in, they are also attached to what they have always done. Tailor Wang's mood Yin Qianhe can understand, just as after she came here, when she thought about what to do, the first thing that came to mind was things related to clothes.
"Master Wang, I understand what you mean. I've been working for a few years and can't give up, not to mention that you've been a tailor for more than 20 years. But you do it alone, whether you have work or not depends entirely on whether there are customers at the door, and it is inevitable that you will encounter a time when there are no customers for a long time, which means that there is no money to earn for a long time, don't you think this situation is too passive?
And I just want to establish a long-term relationship with you, I promise that you will have work every day, and you will guarantee that my store will be supplied with sufficient goods, which will be a profitable business for both you and me.
I'm not asking you to give up what you love, on the contrary, I propose to make the most of your talents. If you want, you can continue to make clothes, and I will pay you another salary after you make them.
With your good skills, it shouldn't just be obscure in this small alley, there should be a bigger stage. If my business is doing well, it will definitely continue to expand in the future, and then you will be able to show off your craft. If my business fails, you have nothing to lose, at most you get back to where you are. ”
Yin Qianhe's last few words moved Tailor Wang. Although he is just a small person in the market, he also has some other pursuits when he is not worried about food and clothing. Whenever someone compliments him on the good clothes he makes, he will feel extremely proud, and it is the pride of the craftsman in his excellent skills. If they can make more clothes and let more people affirm themselves, it will carry forward the craftsmanship of their Wang family.
"According to Miss Yin, it is indeed a good thing." Tailor Wang was relieved.
Deng nodded again and again, "Yes, have you figured it out?" ”
"Master Wang, did you say yes?"
Tailor Wang said: "Miss Yin, I see that you are a person who understands people like us, and I have decided to help you." ”
"Really?" Yin Qianhe said happily, "Thank you." Rest assured, I will work hard to do business and fulfill what I just said to you. ”
Deng Shi also followed suit, but after thinking of something, he asked: "Girl, look, all the heads of my family have gone to work with you, so can my daughter and I go to you to do something?"
Yin Qianhe said: "You all know how to make clothes, so it's better to continue to make clothes."
"It's okay, our wages are ...... again"
Yin Qianhe calculated carefully and said: "Your wages are calculated on a piece-by-piece basis, and ordinary single-piece skirts or shirts are 100 wen per piece, and if there is any special complication, additional money will be added." Also, work at least four hours a day. ”
"Yes, we can work for four hours, and sometimes we have to work until midnight. Please count me and my daughter Shui Bi as a share. ”
Yin Qianhe smiled: "There is a shortage of people on my side, and you are willing to come, which is really helpful." Speaking of which, I've been to your house so many times, and I haven't seen your girl yet, is she at home now? ”
"Yes. This child was afraid of seeing people, so he stayed in the back room all day making clothes, and refused to go out and walk around. The girl wants to see her, so I'm going to call her out. It's just right, let her follow the girl to do things in the future, and learn more from the girl. ”
"I've won the prize, and I don't have any skills that Miss Shuibi can learn."
"Don't be modest, girl, you are so good at doing business, it's enough for her to learn." Deng said as he walked to the back room.
Yin Qianhe pulled his lips and smiled awkwardly, he hadn't done anything yet, so how could he say that he could do business.
"Shui Bi, Shui Bi, come out quickly, there is a distinguished guest who wants to see you." Deng shouted in the house with his voice in his voice, as if he was afraid that others would not know that there was a "distinguished guest" in her house.
She shouted so that Yin Qianhe suddenly felt ashamed, she was not "expensive", and she was really sorry for people.
After a while, the curtain of the partition room was lifted, and Deng walked out from behind with a smile, followed by a young girl, who should be Shui Bi.
"Come and see Miss Yin, she is the big customer of our family, and the clothes we made before were hers." Deng turned sideways and introduced Yin Qianhe to Shui Bi behind him.
Shui Bi just buried her head in listening, and then bowed to Yin Qianhe, but she still refused to raise her eyes to look at people.
Yin Qianhe hurriedly returned the salute. She saw that although this Shui Bi was shy and afraid of life, she was a person who knew how to be polite, so she took the initiative to open her mouth and close the distance: "Miss Shui Bi, I am Yin Qianhe who lives in Qingshui Lane next door." We are about the same age, and we are neighbors, so we need to move around more in the future. ”
Shui Bi looked up at Yin Qianhe at this time, and then looked away again, "Miss Yin can come to my house from time to time to sit." ”
The voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible. However, this glance made Yin Qianhe see her appearance clearly. The face is a goose egg face, the facial features are delicate, and the eyes are not as shy as her character, but they are a pair of smiling eyes, smiling without smiling, very amiable.
"I'll come often. By the way, I'm about to start a small clothing workshop, and I need some people who can make clothes to help. The girl's father and mother have promised me, is the girl willing to come? ”
Shui Bi turned her eyes left and right and said, "My mother told me just now." Since my father and mother are going, I will naturally go too. ”
"Thank you so much. Master Wang is so powerful, I believe that the work in the girl's hands must be too good to say. Your willingness to help me has given me more confidence. ”
The tailor Wang on the side said: "Just a few of us can't accomplish anything, how many people has the girl found?" ”
"That's what I just thought of, so I haven't looked for anyone else yet. I'll start preparing to recruit people when I go back in a while, and when I recruit people, I'll have to trouble Master Wang to assess and see who can use them. ”
"It's simple, then I'll wait at home for news from the girl."
"Well, good. I still have something to do, so I'll leave first, and I'm still bothering you to continue to do the clothes I ordered. ”
After saying goodbye to Shui Bi, Yin Qianhe left satisfied.
I passed by the candy shop, bought some food by the way, and planned to go to see Xiaofeng and his mother later.
