Zhang Xu's first words when he came back and entered the house were still: "Wen Li, how is the business today?" ”

Hearing Zhang Xu's question, I didn't raise my head while making clothes: "Today's harvest is not small, not only did I change my clothes, but I also sold two four-piece sets." The so-called four-piece set is bedding, sheets, duvet cover and two pillowcases. That's the four-piece set.

In fact, selling two four-piece sets a day can't be said to be good at all, it should be said that it is bad. But I say that because it's so much better than it used to be. A few days ago, sometimes I didn't get a single day in my account.

When Zhang Xu heard me say this, he was also very happy: "Really? Looks like we're going to get the time to go. You said a few days ago that you didn't have a job, no work at all, but now it's good, you just got a job from the garment factory, and the business here is also getting better. It's a double happiness! Zhang Xu just chattered happily.

"Okay, don't just be happy, hurry up and help me to work, I'm too busy to live."

"What can I do?" Because Zhang Xu doesn't know our industry, he doesn't know where to start.

Hearing Zhang Xu say this, I put down my work, found a piece of cloth and said to him: "You glue this cloth with an adhesive lining, and then help me cut it into oblique strips, and I will use it when I roll the edge later." ”

"How sticky?" Zhang Xu asked me again.

I explained while demonstrating to Zhang Xu: "Look at this cloth, you put it flat, then spread the adhesive lining on it, and use an iron to burn it." Remember to glue the side with the particles on it to the cloth. ”

Zhang Xu is a smart person, so I told it once, and he remembered it.

"Alright, you can do your job, and I'll leave this to me." With that, he began to do what I had taught.

"Remember, it must be ironed." I was still a little uneasy and instructed him.

"You don't have to worry about my work." Zhang Xu said. This is his favorite phrase to say, and it is also a mantra, as long as I tell him something, he will say that I will work, you can rest assured.

Zhang Xu is helping me glue the lining, so I will continue to do the work brought by the garment factory. Because I also want to finish it as soon as possible, and then go and get a new job when I finish it.

Zhang Xu and I chatted while working. Zhang Xu asked me: "Wen Li, didn't you say that the work in the garment factory is all timed?" So why are you in such a hurry? Isn't it better to do it slowly? ”

Hearing Zhang Xu's words, I disagreed and said, "How can things be done like that? Although the work I take is timed, but how long a piece of clothing will be made, people also have a rough idea in their hearts, and it is not good for us that you either rub or make false reports. The boss is not stupid, a piece of clothing can be finished in five hours, if you tell someone that it can be done in eight hours. That's definitely not going to happen. Besides, we can't do that, can we? The most important thing in doing business is integrity. If you are always opportunistic, then people will not be able to give you a job in the future. ”

"You? It's just too sincere. There is also a saying about how fast or slow it is. For example, if two people make the same dress, it may take one person five hours to complete it, and the other person to finish it in eight hours. Isn't that normal? Your boss and lady don't necessarily check the time one by one. Zhang Xu said.

That being said, you have to rely on your own conscience to do anything. I retorted to Zhang Xu.

"Okay, I won't tell you this, your head won't turn. Let's talk about something else. Wen Li, how much do you think we can make by selling those two four-piece sets today? Zhang Xu asked me.

"A hundred dollars." I replied.

"Really? Can you earn so much? Then add the money for modifying the clothes, and it's more than a hundred. Add in the money you earn in the garment factory, and it's not bad today. If only we could do this every day. Zhang Xu said excitedly.

Seeing the excitement on Zhang Xu's face. I laughed at him and said, "Look at your money-addicted look." "I say this, but in fact I am the same, and I am happy in my heart.

"Is there anyone in this world who does not love money? Don't you love money? Zhang Xu retorted with a smile.

"Me?" I paused for a moment and said, "I love money more than you do." ”

Zhang Xu's work is very good, and the work I gave him will be done quickly. When he was done, he said to me, "Wen Li, it's all done, where do you put it?" What else am I doing? ”

"You just put it on the side of the case. Don't do it yet, if you're hungry, if you're hungry, go out and buy a few buns for us to eat. Today I want to go back later. It's too late to eat at home. I don't digest it when I sleep after eating. I said.

"Okay, then I'll go buy food, I'm a little hungry. Is it to buy buns or cakes? Zhang Xu asked me.

"You can buy it, you can buy whatever you want, it doesn't matter what I eat." I said to Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu came back not long after he went out, because there was everything to eat nearby, so he came back very quickly.

He bought buns and porridge. When he came in, he told me, "Come and eat quickly, and then work when you have finished eating, or it will be cold for a while, and it will not taste good." ”

"Okay." I said yes and went wash my hands and get ready for dinner. Zhang Xu also went to wash his hands. So the two of us sat side by side and ate.

"Zhang Xu, I think we should bring some food at home tomorrow. The things bought are not tasty and a waste of money. I said to Zhang Xu.

"Bring food at home, and wait until the evening is not bad and it is cold." Zhang Xu said.

"It's not going to be bad, it's not too hot this day. Don't we have insulated lunch boxes at home? It won't be cool at night with it. ”

"I think we can bring the pot over and do it here." Zhang Xu said.

"That's not good, it's just such a house, if you cook here, you smoke all the cloth. Besides, the landlord can't let it. I said.

"We can take the pot outside and do it, take a plug at home, and pull the line out, can't we?" Zhang Xu said.

"That's one way to do it. If you do it here, you'll have to do it, because I want to work a little longer. ”

"Okay, no problem, I'll be given dinner later." Zhang Xu readily agreed.

So we settled on the problem of rice. We ate a few buns in no time. We didn't rest after we finished eating, and we still got to work. While working, Zhang Xu didn't forget to praise himself and said, "Wen Li, where do you say you went to find such a capable husband as me?" You see, I'm tired from work, and I have to come back here to work overtime for you. ”

"Okay, you can do it, you've worked hard." I followed his words. In fact, I was saying in my heart, how are you helping me work overtime? Aren't we all for this family?

We were talking and working when another customer walked in.

Because Zhang Xu is here, I concentrate on my work. The customer looked at the cotton cloth and asked, "How much is a meter?" ”

"Twenty." Zhang Xu replied to her, put down the work in his hand, and began to introduce to the customer: "Look, we are all pure cotton. Other shops sell 221 meters. We have small profits and quick turnover, so we want less. As he spoke, he reached out and touched the fabric: "You touch it, see how thick our cloth is." ”

The customer touched it, nodded and said, "Well, it's okay." I'm going to buy a sheet, how many meters can you see? ”

"Wen Li, how many meters does a sheet take?" Zhang Xu asked me.

"Single or double?" I asked.

"Two." Said the customer.

"Then you can buy three meters. It stands to reason that it takes less than three meters, two meters six or seven, but the cotton cloth will shrink after washing, and it will be rolled inside, so you can buy three meters. ”

When the customer heard this, he bought three meters, and Zhang Xu happily went to cut the cloth for the customer.
