Chapter 22 It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish
In the era of handicraft, the slow production of clothes is a major problem that must be faced by opening a clothing store. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoUnless you open your own garment factory and achieve stable mass production. At this time, Yin Qianhe obviously did not have this strength, so she could only rely on self-employed tailors. But in this case, it will not be able to meet the needs of clothing stores.
Yin Qianhe was very anxious about this, she didn't want to disappoint the customers who were willing to come to the door with great difficulty, which was very unfavorable to Yun Xiangyi's development of customer base.
Early this morning, Yin Qianhe planned to go to Tailor Wang to make some more clothes. As soon as she stepped out of the house, she bumped into Xiaofeng, who was crying and running back from the street. This Xiaofeng also lives in Qingshui Lane, not far from Yin's house.
Because he was only eight years old, thin and small, coupled with his fast speed, he fell to the ground when he hit Yin Qianhe. But he didn't say anything, he rolled over and got up, and ran home again.
Yin Qianhe saw him with tears in his eyes, so he stopped him: "Hey, Xiaofeng, wait, did it hurt to fall?"
Xiao Feng stopped, as if he had wiped his eyes with his sleeve, and shook his head with his back to her.
Yin Qianhe walked in front of him, only to see the tears in his eyes turn and fall again, so she asked softly, "Did it really hurt?" So what are you crying about? ”
I don't know if it's moving or uncomfortable, Xiaofeng cried with a "wow", and the tears kept flowing like a stream.
When a child cries, it is the most helpless, Yin Qianhe was softened by his crying, and hurriedly comforted: "Don't cry, don't cry, tell me something, maybe I can help you, except for fighting."
It didn't seem to have any effect to say this, Xiaofeng didn't respond, and she said again: "Why don't I buy you candy to eat, okay?"
Xiaofeng wiped his tears after hearing this, choked up and said, "Then, can you, can't, help my mother buy and buy medicine?"
"Buying medicine? Is your mother sick? ”
Xiaofeng nodded, "My mother is so sick that she can't get out of bed, I went to ask for a doctor just now, but I don't have any money, and the doctor is unwilling to come to see my mother." ”
"I see. Then I'll go with you to the doctor, and you wait for me here. ”
After that, she ran home and called Yin Qianyi out, asking her to go to Xiaofeng's house to take care of his mother first. Then, she went with Xiaofeng to ask the doctor.
Yin Qianyi came to Xiaofeng's house, and when she saw that the door was half-hidden, she went directly into the courtyard. The courtyard was very small, with a bamboo pole to dry clothes, a stove under the eaves, some firewood piled up in the corner, and nothing else.
Yin Qianyi stood in the courtyard and shouted into the house: "Is Fourth Sister-in-law Chen here?" ”
Chen Si's sister-in-law is Xiaofeng's mother and is a widow. Xiaofeng's father died five years ago, and Chen Si's sister-in-law lived alone with her son Xiaofeng because her son was unwilling to remarry. Usually, she makes some headscarves and other headbands to sell them on the street to support her family, so her life is relatively poor.
After waiting for a while, no one in the house answered, and Yin Qianyi was worried that something had happened to Chen's fourth sister-in-law, so she went into the house by herself.
There are two rooms inside and outside Chen's house, the outer room is a place for cooking, eating and entertaining guests, and the inner room is a bedroom. Yin Qianyi walked straight to the inner room, and because the window was not opened, it was a little dark. There were two narrow beds and a dilapidated cabinet against the wall in the room, and Chen Si's sister-in-law was lying motionless on one of the beds, covered with the only two quilts in the room, and her breathing could be heard.
Yin Qianyi walked over and leaned over to check on her condition, only to see her two chapped lips breathing one by one, feeling that she was having difficulty breathing, and her forehead was hot. It seemed that it was burning badly, and Yin Qianyi hurriedly went out to find water and towels to cool her down.
Not long after, Yin Qianhe and Xiaofeng invited the doctor. After the doctor's diagnosis and treatment, it was learned that Chen Si's sister-in-law was only infected with wind and cold, and there was no major problem, as long as she took a few pairs of medicines and rested for a few days, she could get better.
After the doctor finished diagnosing the pulse and prescribing the prescription, Yin Qianhe went to the pharmacy to get the medicine back, and Yin Qianyi helped to boil and feed the medicine to the patient. It wasn't until Chen's fourth sister-in-law finished drinking the medicine that the two sisters were ready to leave.
Xiaofeng was still a little scared, and pulled Yin Qianhe's sleeve tightly and asked, "Is my mother okay?" ”
Yin Qianhe touched his thin little face and comforted: "Don't worry, it's okay." Didn't you hear the doctor say just now, as long as you take your medicine on time every day and rest well, you will be fine in a few days. You stay at home with your mother first, and we'll come back to see you later, okay? ”
Xiaofeng let go of his hand and said, "Give my mother the money for medical treatment, and we will definitely return it to you." ”
Yin Qianhe said: "There is no hurry to repay the money, the most important thing now is to let your mother get better quickly, and you have to take good care of her." ”
A smile appeared on Xiaofeng's crying face, "Well, thank you, sister." ”
This sister shouted Yin Qianhe so happily, because she hadn't heard a child call her sister for a long time. Those "modern" bear children, even those who are in junior high school, all call her "auntie". Although he shouted sweetly, Yin Qianhe still didn't like to listen to it.
At that time, she was only twenty-five years old, and she was not married or had children, so why couldn't she be a sister? Now that she has come to this era, she has picked up her youth for a few years, returned to her teens, and heard the child call her sister again, isn't it beautiful in her heart.
She smiled and said, "Okay, good." Wait for my sister to finish her errands and bring you something delicious. ”
Coming out of Chen's house, Yin Qianhe still went to find Tailor Wang alone. Along the way, thinking about Xiaofeng, Chen's fourth sister-in-law and the Chen family, I couldn't help but sympathize with them.
The life of their mother and son is really hard, there is nothing at home, Xiaofeng is still young, all supported by Chen Si's sister-in-law alone, there is no personal help, and there is no stable income. When I was sick and didn't have money to see a doctor, it is estimated that the number of times I saw a doctor was not only this time.
The most feared thing for poor people is illness, and they can not care about food and clothing, but once they get sick, not only can they not work to earn money, but they may also have serious consequences because they have no money for treatment.
Yin Qianhe is not a hard-hearted person, and looking at such a person, he actually wants to help too. However, she is just an ordinary person and cannot be a philanthropist. Besides, as the old saying goes, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish, and temporary rescue can only solve temporary difficulties, and if you want to really solve the problem, you still have to start from the root. The problem of Chen's fourth sister-in-law's family is the lack of labor and the lack of ways to make money.
Thinking of this, Yin Qianhe suddenly realized that he needed help at the moment, and Chen Si's sister-in-law needed to work, so why couldn't she be hired? Since she can make hats, she should also make clothes, so let her make clothes for herself to earn money. This method is beneficial to both others and oneself, so why not?
Not only Chen's fourth sister-in-law, but also find more people. As long as there is an open recruitment, there will definitely be people who are willing to do it. Although it is not capable of reaching the scale of a factory, it can be made into a family workshop.
However, this kind of workshop needs a technical supervisor who is dedicated to pattern making and quality issues. After all, different people make different things. If the quality of the same style of clothes is uneven, how can it be sold? And some people may have a poor craft and need someone to guide them.
Yin Qianhe's first thought was Tailor Wang, and his pattern of making clothes for her was actually similar to this. I just don't know if he is willing to give up the job he has been working as a tailor for many years?
