fifty-nine
As soon as I heard the little girl say that there was a job for me to do, I felt like I had taken a stimulant. Excited. Hurriedly walked over and took a stool, came over to the little girl, and said, "You can sit down for a while, what kind of work it is, you can tell me." ”
The little girl didn't sit: "No need to sit, I'll have to go back in a while." I just found out that you have a shop here, so I came in and asked, we have a lot of work there, if you can do it, we have no problem providing you with work all year round. When I heard this, I was even more interested.
"What do you do?" I asked.
"It's a bird's nest, an export. It's made of that plush fabric. I said you may not be able to understand it, if you have time, come with me, we are not far from here. The little girl said.
"If I have time, I can follow you right now." I hurriedly said that I was afraid that I would not be able to get this batch of work.
"Alright then, you can come with me." The little girl said.
"Okay, let's go." After answering the little girl, I said to Zhang Xu again: "Zhang Xu, you watch in the store first, and I'll go to see it." ”
Zhang Xu was obviously very happy, because he was complaining that the garment factory was not working just now, and now that he is alive, he is naturally happy. So he said very happily, "Go ahead, I'll do it here." ”
So I walked out with the little girl. The little girl said to me as she walked, "My name is Chen Dongmei, and the eldest sister can call me Dongmei in the future." ”
"Okay, then I'll call you Dongmei." I say.
"We're very close to you, and it's very convenient for you to come and get work in the future." Chen Dongmei said.
"That's good, as long as your job can provide for me, and the price can make me acceptable, I will get a job with you all year round." I say.
"The price should be fine, you'll find out when you get there." Chen Dongmei said.
Sure enough, it was very close, and we quickly arrived at the store that Chen Dongmei said. I asked her, "Dongmei, is this your store?" ”
"No, my classmate opened it, and I took care of it for her. I'm also in charge of releasing it. Chen Dongmei said.
With that, she led me into a room. I saw that there were many rolls of plush fabric and cotton piled up in the room. There is also a machine next to it, and it is not known who did it there.
She took a small plush cotton nest about twenty centimeters wide and three centimeters long from the machine. He handed it to me and said, "If you see it, just make it, eight dollars a piece, if you have someone to help, it's no problem to make more than thirty a day." ”
I took it and looked at it, it was quite simple, but it was a bit troublesome, because the fabric also had to use a very thin layer of cotton, which had to be rolled into diamond-shaped blocks by machine. The purpose of sewing them together is to keep the birds warm.
Although it's troublesome, if you don't do anything else a day, Dongmei said that there is really no problem with doing thirty. But I can't do it all day, I can only do as much as I can when I'm not working. I'm still mainly engaged in the work of the shop.
So I said, "Can't it be a little more?" ”
"No, that's the price, because it's not just for you to do it alone, but a lot of people do it. This price is uniform. Dongmei said.
"Okay then, can I take it today?" I asked.
"You can take it, but how do you take it now? You can't take it away with your hands. for thou shalt take cloth, and thou shalt take cotton. ”
"Then I'll go back and ride my tricycle." I said to Dongmei.
"Okay then, then you can ride a tricycle, I'll wait for you, you're done with the work, and I'm going home." Dongmei said. ,
"Okay, I'll go back."
It was only three or four minutes from that shop to my shop. Zhang Xu saw that I came back so soon, thinking that I didn't get a job. So he asked, "Why did you come back so soon?" Isn't it possible? ”
"Okay, it's very easy to do, I'm here to ride a tricycle, and there is no way to pull it back without a tricycle."
"Is that sinking? Why don't I go with you? Zhang Xu said.
"No need, it's not sinking, I'll just go alone, you better stay in the store, what if someone comes here?"
"Isn't it not far away? Since it's not far away, I'll be back in a while, and it's okay for me to go with you, how can it be so coincidental that we just went out and there were customers? Zhang Xu said.
Hearing that what Zhang Xu said also made sense, I said, "Then you can go with me." I look at the cloth scroll, it's quite big, if you can go, someone will carry it for me. ”
So, after Zhang Xu and I locked the door of the store, we went to Dongmei's store.
After that, Dongmei asked us to carry a roll of cloth and a roll of cotton, and then said to me, "You do it first, the cloth and cotton are gone, you can come and get it again." "I know that this roll of cloth can make a lot of bird's nests, so it should be able to make many days to pick up this one.
"Okay. Then I'm done with the work, do I deliver it to you every day, or will I send it to you together when I'm done? I asked Dongmei.
"You can send me one of a hundred, so it's easy to count and settle accounts." Dongmei said. After finishing speaking, he took me another sample and said to me: "You must do it according to the sample, if you fail to do it, I won't accept it." ”
"Don't worry, I will definitely be qualified." I say. But I thought in my heart, what kind of difficult work have I not done, can I still do this little up to standard? Of course, Dongmei didn't know what was going on in my heart. Seeing that I assured her that I would definitely pass, she was relieved.
She smiled and said to me, "I was already off work, but I walked to your door, and when I saw you doing work, I went in and asked, otherwise I would have been home by now." ”
"Thank you. Delaying you from work. I said.
"You're welcome, let's fulfill each other." Zhang Xu and I came back from Dongmei. After arriving at the store, Zhang Xu said to me, "How is it, does this job make money?" ”
"Okay, I said."
"How about the comparison of the work of the garment factory?" Zhang Xu asked again.
"I haven't done it yet, and I don't know how much I can do in a day, so it's hard to say, but according to my estimate, it should be more profitable than working in a garment factory." I say.
"That's good, how good is it to work here? It's so close to our store, and she earns a lot of money, didn't she say that she still has a job all year round? After that, there is no need to take the job of a garment factory. Zhang Xu said.
"That can't be done that way, she said it's for us to live all year round, but it changes from time to time. What if she can't supply it all year round? So in the future, if the garment factory can't do the job, let us take it, we should still take some. If you don't do anything when people have a lot of work, then in the future, if someone else goes to get the work, they may give it to someone else and not give it to us. Therefore, you have to take some of the appropriate ones, and you can't give up any of them. I said.
Seeing me say this, Zhang Xu said, "You are right to say that." Then we will focus on her work now, and when the garment factory asks us to take the job again, we can just express it appropriately. “
"We'll talk about that then. Now that you have this job, let's do it first. “
We took the fabric and cotton off the tricycle and put them in the house. Then, he said to Zhang Xu: "In the future, you will be responsible for helping me cut cloth and cotton." “
"No problem, as long as I can make money, you can let me do anything." Zhang Xu happily agreed.
