Chapter 48 Remuneration

Watching Hu Xianglan work hard like a demon, Xu Rujin suddenly felt that the medicine was too violent.

She coughed lightly and said to Hu Xianglan: "Mom, if we don't go out again, we will be suspicious." Besides, if you make clothes in such a hurry, if the quality of the work is too poor, people will not want it. If they want me to pay for their cloth, where will I find money to pay them? ”

When Hu Xianglan heard this, she stopped, but began to work again, "I made this dress, you can rest assured that my craftsmanship can't be broken." ”

Xu Rujin believed in Hu Xianglan's craftsmanship, so she just said that she would put down her work and eat.

Seeing that Hu Xianglan insisted on finishing her work before going to eat, Xu Rujin could only let her. I didn't go to dinner by myself, and accompanied Hu Xianglan.

Xu Rujin flipped through the fruits of Hu Xianglan's labor, she did it very carefully, without the slightest mistake, and the quality was quite good.

After finishing the clothes at night, Hu Xianglan still had palpitations when she left Xu Rujin's house.

Xu Rujin stared at the back of Hu Xianglan leaving, knowing that it would take a process to gradually change Hu Xianglan's thoughts, and he had to take his time. Not everyone is as easy to accept these things as Ye Chengwei, after all, it is Mr. Ye who will be dominant in the future.

However, she is confident that she has time to slowly change her for Hu Xianglan, and she is simply no longer familiar with the truth of boiling frogs in warm water.

The dark sky sprinkled with starlight, and the moonlight coolly covered the ground with frost. The autumn cicadas also don't know where to hide and rustle, causing people to be sleepy.

Xu Rujin yawned, didn't think about anything else, and got up early tomorrow to make food for Lin Chuan to sell......

Early the next morning, as soon as Xu Rujin got up, he saw Ye Chengwei loading up the duck meat made yesterday, "Morning." Xu Rujin went over to greet Ye Chengwei.

"Early. Ye Chengwei glanced up at her, but the movements in his hands did not stop, "What were you doing with your mother yesterday? ”

"Mom just found out that I was making clothes for others, and it was a little hard to accept. Thinking of Hu Xianglan's expression yesterday, Xu Rujin paused, "Fortunately, my mother quickly accepted and helped me make clothes together, but she didn't let me tell you." ”

Ye Chengwei snorted lightly, and they still need to tell him?

"Don't blame your mother for making a fuss, such things are always not allowed, and your mother's worries are justified. Xu Rujin rolled up his sleeves and prepared to work.

Ye Chengwei glanced at him with disgust and said, 'Long-winded'.

Xu Rujin took out the flour that Lin Chuan had just brought back two days ago, poured water to soak the fungus, mushrooms, bamboo shoots and other dry goods, and then turned around to knead the dough.

Once the dough is kneaded, she chops up the minced meat, fungus, mushrooms, and bamboo shoots into fillings. Put the filling into the rolled dumpling wrapper, pinch the middle, leave the mouth on both sides for ventilation, and wrap it into a half-crescent shape.

She makes a northern snack called potstickers.

Xu Rujin put the potstickers in the pot, poured a little oil into the pot, heated it on low heat for a while, and poured an appropriate amount of water.

There was an immediate sizzling sound in the pot, and she closed the lid to prevent the oil from splashing when it met the water. After a while, open it again, and repeat two or three times.

Xu Rujin put the hot potstickers on a plate and served it to the table.

The fried pot stickers are crispy and fragrant, crispy and soft and delicious when you take a bite, and the soup is rich. After Xu Rujin made it, he specially sent some to the Lin family as breakfast......

......

......

Soon it was mid-to-late October, and Hu Xianglan looked at the clothes that had been made in the house and breathed a sigh of relief.

The weather is getting colder and colder, Hu Xianglan feels that this "tailor" career is coming to an end, and the big stone in her heart is put down, but she is also a little reluctant.

She touched the sewing machine, "These clothes were taken away today, right?"

Xu Rujin nodded, "Lin Chuan will take them away with the food early tomorrow morning." ”

She counted the fruits of their labor during this time, and in a week they made more than a dozen thickened tunic suits. Piece by piece, the garments were spread out flat, boiling water was filled with enamel cups, and the garments were ironed one by one.

Finally, she folded the hot clothes into squares one by one.

......

Early the next morning, Hu Xianglan waited for Lin Chuan with Xu Rujin for the first time, in the past, Hu Xianglan tried to avoid Lin Chuan as much as possible, not wanting to get too involved in these things.

It's just that after sewing clothes this time, she thinks it's nothing. She and Xu Rujin have never shown up, and it is Lin Chuan who threads the needle in them, and they are still very safe.

Not long after, the sound of a rooster crowing came from outside, and the sky gradually turned from gray to white, and Lin Chuan also rode his big golden deer.

He put the goods in the car, said 'I'll come back in the evening,' and left.

"This ...... Is this the end of it?" Hu Xianglan looked at Lin Chuan's distant back.

"Yes, that's it, Lin Chuan will get the money back at night. Xu Rujin nodded.

......

In the evening, Lin Chuan returned.

Lin Chuan unloaded the ingredients from the car, and took out the cloth bag containing money from the inner pocket of his clothes, "These are the manual fees for making clothes, a total of fifteen pieces of clothing, thirty yuan." ”

Xu Rujin calmly took over the 'remuneration', feeling that the money was not very cost-effective.

She and Hu Xianglan made the clothes that took several nights in a row, and they sold them for about 30 yuan, which was not enough for the food she made in the morning.

However, this price is also within a reasonable range, because clothes are now considered a relatively luxurious consumer goods, and the cost of fabric is very high, but the craftsmanship is actually not so valuable. People's consumption concept has not changed, and they are not very accustomed to buying ready-to-wear clothes.

Ready-to-wear clothes are sold in the store, and only those who are able to afford it or are in a hurry to get married. Most families are sewing and mending clothes, and children are picking up clothes that their older siblings can't wear.

And the materials and styles of the clothes we wear are also the same, well-behaved, personalization is not advocated at this time, everyone looks almost the same when walking on the street, no characteristics.

It wasn't until the 80s that people began to pay attention to material life, and gradually began to wear various styles of clothing. Therefore, in this era, Xu Rujin has never thought about getting rich by making clothes, at most he will pay for his living expenses.

In addition, the sewing machine, which is not easy to depreciate, is very strong and durable, and it is not a loss at all if it is sold after a few years of careful use.

Hu Xianglan, who was listening on the sidelines, was shocked by this number. In just a few days, these dozen clothes they made can make so much money!

Without waiting for her to continue thinking, she saw Lin Chuan take out another wad of money and hand it to Xu Rujin, "This is the money for selling duck meat and snacks, a total of ninety yuan, you can order it." ”

Lin Chuan easily read out this string of numbers, Hu Xianglan is really not calm now, the money earned from selling food is actually three times that of selling clothes!
