She also specially asked the virtual same-plane businessman, what is the operation method, she wants to sell the things made by the women of the Liu family in her Taobao store, but she also has to go through a form in the real society.

The reply was that it would get a pass from House Z and take an exit from the Friendship Store, but of course it was just for example. Others look at the packing and get on the car, but in fact, it is in the temporary storage space, who will check so many goods one by one? After all, there are no expenses during this period.

"It's to exchange for some things that you usually eat, wear and use, which shouldn't make people carry the upper platform to preach, right?" Zuo Ranjia asked.

"Definitely not, we just help people do some casual work, or work for the foreign goods store opened by the country of Friendship Store, and others can't find anything wrong," the fourth family said very neatly, "Zezi daughter-in-law, you can put a hundred and twenty hearts when we do the work, in order to save materials, our skills are all practiced." Absolutely do not waste a little bit of material, but also make the best mille-feuille shoes, do not embarrass our people! ”

"You kid, why did you come down so quickly?" Mother Liu scolded with a smile and patted the fourth family, she was also relieved, took out the finished products one by one and stuffed them into Zuo Ranjia's hand: "Zezi daughter-in-law, you show these to others, people can see them, let's be cheeky to borrow your light to take them, if people don't look down on them, we can't embarrass you, right?" ”

Du Ranjia smiled and put her shoes aside, "She is my good friend, and I don't pick her head when I see her." But I can put my words here, Grandma Liu, after you take over the job, if any shoes are not done well and are beaten back, I don't have the face to say good things to people. ”

"Understand, understand, salute first and then soldier," Liu Mule nodded happily, and said with some nostalgia: "Zezi daughter-in-law, don't you know wow, my mother used to be a first-class maid in the prince's mansion, and she was even more pampered than the maid of a small family." Although it cannot be said that she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she is also a rare woman who can read and write. It's a pity that she died when I was ten years old, and I only learned a little bit of the old woman, but I can support our family. ”

Mother Liu said happily, picked up a well-made mille-feuille shoe and said: "This is the shoe we wear at home, make do with it, and it is more comfortable and affordable than the one we bought." But if you go abroad, you will lose the adult. We have to follow the craftsmanship handed down by our ancestors and do it in a proper manner. A good pair of mille-feuille shoes is not uncommon for it to take a month. ”

Zuo Ranjia looked at Mother Liu with some surprise, "Grandma Liu, will you make that kind of mille-feuille shoes that are about to be lost?" ”

Liu Mu snorted proudly: "That is, if you want to make shoes, it is best to be able to measure people's feet, and this is the most comfortable and comfortable." In addition, the sole of the shoe has to be cut layer by layer and then coated one by one until it is two centimeters thick, which is the experience accumulated by the ancestors for many years, and it is the most comfortable height for human feet.

Once the sole is done, the sole will be included, and this is also exquisite, at least more than 4,000 stitches! In this way, the sole is wear-resistant and not hard. Of course, we Chinese people like to do something auspicious, such as 4,222 needles, 4,666 needles, or 4,888 needles of even numbers.

After putting on the shoes, tighten the shoe string and tap the upper to make the sole and upper fit tightly so that the shoe does not bulge or wrinkle.

Is that the end of it? ”

Liu's mother asked Guan Zi, and the daughters-in-law all shook their heads, sneering in their hearts, but they still listened to her eagerly. The old lady told her daughter-in-law and granddaughters these old stories, and they all listened to these steps of making mille-feuille shoes more than a hundred times, and their ears were calloused.

But the old ladies were happy, and they liked to coax her.

Zuo Ranjia didn't know, she also looked at the old lady very eagerly, there are too many craftsmen in Huaxia, but such people have a strange temper, and they always abide by the dead rule that what is passed on to men and not to women, and would rather lose the traditional craftsmanship than compromise. So in addition to learning a few basic embroidery techniques from the master who made clothes in her early years, she is really a layman.

Her way of making clothes is almost a combination of East and West, and she has always looked up to traditional Chinese craftsmanship. I never thought that there was a decent craftsman around me.

Liu's mother sighed, took a sip of the tea served by her granddaughter before she spoke: "This step is very important, you have to put the shoes in the water to soak them softly, and turn them over when the upper on the outside is dry and the inside is still wet, so that the shoes can be evenly flat." Finally, I put my shoes up and put them on a hot kang to bake them for a day and a night.

The mille-feuille shoes are finished! ”

Zuo Ranjia nodded again and again when she heard this, and the old lady explained the steps clearly, but when it came to making shoes, she couldn't do it without that skill and skill.

"However, there are many people in our family, and if the division of labor is well divided, even if you rely on your free time to rest on weekdays, you can pay more than 100 pairs a month. For example, in this month when the Chinese New Year is resting, 200 pairs can be rushed out. The old lady said confidently.

Zuo Ranjia silently looked at the market of old Kyoto cloth shoes in Taobao in her heart, some of them are made of machines, and their comfort and workmanship are too far from manual, so the price of mass production is seventy or eighty. She lowered her eyelids and thought about how when she went to Kyoto to participate in the chef's competition decades later, she had entered several physical stores with branded old Kyoto cloth shoes, which claimed to be handmade, breathable, comfortable, non-smelly, and unchanged feet, and the price on the Internet and in physical stores was above four or five hundred.

She positioned her store as a mid-to-high-end consumer group, and the more the economy, technology and society developed rapidly in later generations, the more handmade products were respected, and as the crystallization of thousands of years of culture of the Chinese people, the mille-feuille old Kyoto cloth shoes can indeed take on the responsibility.

She was going to mark the price of the shoes at 520 star coins, and the best materials for a pair of shoes would not exceed 50, and the system would have to give a 10% rebate, that is, there were about 420 star coins that could be shared with the Liu family.

Zuo Ranjia thinks about the wages of craftsmen in 2018, which are calculated according to the basic salary plus piecework. She is going to pay the Liu family a preliminary salary of 10,000 star coins a month, and give a commission of 100 star coins for each pair of shoes.

Zuo Ranjia thought that if they could really make 100 pairs of shoes a month, then the Liu family could get 20,000 star coins, which would be a good income in modern times.

However, a rough calculation, she can get about half of the profits, although she is a little embarrassed, but with the plane system in hand, she can only exploit labor cheekily.

"Grandma Liu, tell me what I need, I'll write it down and have someone bring it to you." Zuo Ranjia took out a palm-sized notebook and ink sac pen from his body, put them on the table and asked seriously.

Mother Liu squinted her eyes and pondered, and said, "The hemp rope is still at ease at home, and you can go to the market tomorrow to buy some emergency." The main thing is to soak the hemp in water for a month before rubbing the hemp rope, which takes some time. In addition to hemp rope, there are also paste, shoe patterns, scissors, awls, thimble hoops, needle pulls, and wire rods. It is best to use a white cloth for the jacket, and it is best not to use an old cloth or rag. There is also cloth for the upper and white cloth for the upper. ”

Zuo Ranjia wrote it down carefully, and the beautiful hairpin flower was unanimously praised by everyone.

Grandma Liu used to just talk about not practicing fake tricks, but now she wants to do it seriously, so the surging in her heart, not to mention how powerful it is. She drank water as soon as she was excited, and when she drank water, she had to drain it, back and forth several times.

"Grandma Liu, the work is not finished, the money is not enough, you always have to pay attention to your body, don't waste your good body in order to earn some hard money for work, otherwise I won't dare to help you pull the strings." Zuo Ranjia said with a bluffed face.

"I know, the old woman is idle at home, they say that there is no shortage of my old arms and legs to earn a few centimeters, and there are a few granddaughters at home who are busy with everything, and I am about to rust. I have to control the matter of making mille-feuille shoes, no matter how much or less people give, I can earn a little more, and strive to marry my two eldest grandsons in the next year, and also marry my second granddaughter in a beautiful way. ”

"Definitely!" Zuo Ranjia nodded vigorously and said, 20,000 yuan a month, 200,000 yuan a year can pay a down payment in an ordinary city. But she can help them buy bricks, tiles, wood and cement, repair the yard early, and then build a circle of houses in the backyard, with an old lady at the helm, they can definitely live a prosperous life.

As he spoke, the sky outside began to get a little dark, and the sound of men talking came from the yard, and several Liu wives put down their work and hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen to cook.

Du Qiaoyun then took Xiao Mi and took Zuo Ranjia to his house.

The yard of the Liu family is not small, it is bigger than Du Xuze's original yard, the front and back yards are reclaimed to grow vegetables, and the backyard also raises two hens, ducks and geese that lay eggs, but the houses are not more than the Du family. The same main house has three rooms in each room, but each room is larger.

Each of the four sons and daughter-in-law of the Liu family had a room, and each room was separated by a wooden plank, so that the younger children slept in the cubicle, and the remaining ten older children lived in the other three rooms.

The Liu family couldn't get a decent bride price, and they couldn't ignore the children below, so they followed the twenty-year-old Liu Zhengtong in the big house and vacated a room to get married, after all, there was still a nineteen-year-old Liu Zhenghua in the second room who was not much older than the other and was waiting.

Du Qiaoyun's house is the first room in the Westinghouse next to the main house, and the room that has been pasted with paper many times is very dim, she took out a kerosene lamp and lit it, beckoned Zuo Ranjia to sit on the kang that had just been heated, and said with a smile: "The only thing we have in the farm is firewood, as long as you are diligent, not to mention how comfortable it is to nest on the kang in winter." Isn't it better than the briquette-burning stove in your city? ”
