Chapter 7 Sewing Machines (Part II)
To do business, you have to do this, with the smallest capital to win the maximum benefit, although Wan Niang doesn't understand the trick, but when she heard that she can make money, she grinned: "Husband, you really ...... it"
The third time was fleeting, and the man came on time to deliver the parts, looking at the mountain-like iron material, and was dumbfounded: "Childe, this is ...... This is too much, the parts I built for you, plus the consumption in the middle, are only fifty catties in total, and no matter how you look at these irons, you must have more than two hundred catties. ”
"I didn't say I'd give it all to you." Wei Hong smiled mysteriously, this blacksmith is real, Wei Hong likes such a real person, took the parts, casually swept them with his eyes, basically they were very suitable, so he put the parts aside, pointed to the hill-like scrap iron, and said: "I weighed, these irons are two hundred and ten catties in total, except for the fifty catties of iron returned to you, how about I sell the remaining one hundred and sixty catties of iron to you at a low price?" I don't want more, how about only charging you 200 yuan? ”
Wei Hong is not a casual price, as a trader, he is better than anyone else, yesterday he calculated the accounts, at first the man asked for 120 Wen, in addition to 30 Wen, it is 90 text fees, 50 catties of iron is 1 penny 8 yuan per catty, Wei Hong The total price of the remaining 160 catties of iron is 288 Wen, only charge him 200 Wen, one is to let the man also have a little profit, after all, business is a win-win situation, if it is only a one-sided profit, the business will not last long, and the second is that Wei Hong thinks that this man is good, it is a friendship allowance for him.
Although the man is simple, but he is not stupid, he can still calculate this simple account, the intention of making a living is to make money, the blacksmith heard that it was profitable, and immediately smiled and showed a mouth full of yellow teeth: "What the son said is true?" This one hundred and sixty catties of iron, is it really only two hundred Wen? ”
Wei Hong nodded solemnly: "It's true!" ”
"Well, I want it! But...... I don't have any money with me today, so why don't I bring money in the afternoon, I don't know what my son thinks? The man said happily, people used to say that pies fell from the sky, but today he was hit on the head by pies.
Wei Hong smiled very proudly: "Then I will wait for my brother at home, by the way, remember to push the cart before coming, although you have the strength, you can carry one hundred and sixty pounds of iron, and if you want to walk back from my house, I am afraid that you will not have enough spare strength." ”
The man bared his yellow teeth and laughed: "Certainly, definitely!" ”
As soon as the man left, Wei Hong began to prepare the sewing machine, with the main parts, it was much simpler, the shell of the sewing machine Wei Hong did not plan to do, as long as the sewing machine can operate normally, regardless of whether the appearance is good or not, first found a wooden board, cut it into a suitable shape, cut the skeleton of the sewing machine with a wooden board and assemble it, and then install the important parts, and the rest of the small parts, Wei Hong all replaced them with wood, found a pile of discarded wood, carved it with a knife, and made two or three backups for each part, In case the parts are not durable, it is good to have a replacement.
Wan Niang didn't know what Wei Hong was messing with, and she didn't worry, anyway, the blacksmith just now sent two hundred yuan, and this month's rent had fallen, so she had been following Wei Hong, wiping sweat and pouring water for Wei Hong, which improved Wei Hong's efficiency by more than one grade, and in the middle of the night, Wei Hong made all the parts, because it was not early, he did not assemble it, and was ready to continue the next day.
At dawn the next day, Wei Hong got up early in the morning, assembled all the prepared parts, the sewing machine was pedal-type, and so Wei Hong drove the pedal with his feet, and the sewing machine began to make a 'clatter, clap, clam, clap, c, p, w, c, bumper
Wei Hong has been wearing a long shirt of this era for the past two days, and when he wears the Shishu scarf made by himself, Wei Hong can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that this well-fitting and tailor-made clothes are comfortable to wear.
At this time, Wanniang woke up, walked out of the door, and saw Wei Hong wearing a 'strange costume': "Husband, what are you wearing?" It's weird, but it looks very comfortable......"
Since the costumes of the Ming Dynasty are a continuation of the tradition of Hanfu, although the concept is very similar, there are still some differences in appearance. Wei Hong secretly said in his heart, this Shishu scarf is equivalent to an improved Hanfu, it is a clothing that has been polished over time and is close to maturity, of course, Wei Hong can't say these words clearly, after all, it is too unbelievable, Wei Hong clenched his right hand and covered his mouth with a fist and coughed embarrassedly twice, which shamelessly tampered with the traces of history: "This dress is an improved version of my original Hanfu, called Shishu Scarf." ”
Wan Niang's eyes stayed on the Shishu scarf for a while, and then she turned her eyes to the sewing machine beside Wei Hong, and when she saw the strange appearance of the sewing machine, Wan Niang suddenly felt very strange: "Husband, what is this?" Is this what you've been busy with these days? ”
Wei Hong smiled mysteriously and patted the Shishu scarf on his body: "Wan Niang, do you see how I made this Shishu scarf suit?" ”
"Sewn with a needle?" As soon as the words came out, Wan Niang realized something, looked at the Shishu scarf clothes, and then looked at the sewing machine, then covered her mouth, and said in disbelief: "Could it be that this thing is made?" ”
"Clever!" Wei Hong stretched out his thumb, praised it, reached out and patted the base of the sewing machine, and said mysteriously: "There are still six days left, as long as we have this thing, we can successfully make those 200 long shirts!" ”
Wan Niang was taken aback, and looked at the strange-shaped machine in front of her in disbelief: "Just by it? ”
Wei Hong smiled and nodded, his tone firm: "Just rely on it!" ”
In order to convince Wan Niang that what she said was true, Wei Hong found another piece of dark blue fabric, cut it a few times with scissors, and then put it on the sewing machine.
Looking at Wan Niang's shocked eyes, Wei Hong smiled leisurely and handed the sewn gown to Wan Niang: "Look, what is the quality of the clothes sewn by the sewing machine for the husband?" ”
Wan Niang took the clothes, looked at this, touched them, and finally sighed: "The workmanship is exquisite, impeccable, it usually takes nearly half an hour for Wan Niang to sew a long shirt, I never thought about this...... Sewing machine...... You can sew it in a moment, husband, how did you make such a powerful utensil? ”;
