Chapter Eighty-Five: Business Starts
It was moving the goods again, and Shen Changlin and Shen Aizhi were so busy that they were sweating profusely, and it was already the beginning of the lights when they arrived in the county seat.
Shen Aizhi said that he would not go to his sister's house for the night, Shen Changlin was too tired to watch the cloth on the ground move around, and he had to call manpower three wheels, so he simply stayed at the guest house next to the station for the night.
Rushing back to Songzhen the next morning, Shen Changlin asked Shen Aizhi and them to wait where they were, and he went back to help.
When he helped his hand away, everyone helped to carry the cloth into the car, and when he got home, he felt tired and paralyzed.
"Buying a cloth is more tiring than Tang Seng learning scriptures, and I won't go again next time." As soon as Shen Chi came back, he collapsed on the bed and said.
Sun Tao took out the five yuan his father gave him and said angrily: "The money my father gave me was not spent." ”
Eating and drinking along the way, Sun Tao had no chance to be alone.
"Save it, and there will be a place for you to spend your money in the future." Shen Chi glanced at him and said.
The two tiled houses built by Shen Changlin had been dried up, and the cloth he bought was moved to the room that Shen Aizhi used as a "workshop".
Bring a plank and put it on the board to protect it from moisture. After a while, everyone was busy cooking, washing the vegetables, and lighting the fire.
After eating, Shen Changlin went to the garden to pick some vegetables and send them to his mother, while Shen Aizhi cut the thread sewn by the cloth and planned to start making headdresses.
Seeing this, Shen Chi hurriedly stopped, he took out a set of skirt drawings in the shape of a butterfly collar evening dress he drew and said to Shen Aizhi: "Auntie, you make this dress." ”
"How big is the size?" Shen Aizhi picked up the drawing and asked.
"Let's do it according to my aunt's body size, with a rubber band or elastic around the waist, so that others can wear it if it is bigger or smaller." Shen Chi replied.
"You're asking me to make clothes to sell?" Shen Aizhi immediately understood what Shen Chi meant.
"The fabrics used to make the headdress are wasted, and the cloth leftover from the clothes is made." Shen Chi said with a smile.
Shen Chi's goal was finally achieved, and under his step-by-step guidance, he finally led his aunt to the road of doing clothing business.
"What kind of fabric do you choose for this dress?" Shen Aizhi took the drawing and began to pick out the fabric.
"Choose the one with the orange flower." Shen Chi prompted.
Shen Aizhi imagined the effect of the ready-to-wear for a moment, and then smiled: "Well, this is it." ”
Immediately start to put the ruler according to your own figure.
It only took one afternoon for Shen Aizhi to make the skirt, and all that was left was the sewing of the details.
"Xiao Chi, come and see, the skirt aunt has made it." Shen Aizhi was very satisfied with her skirt, and then shouted at Shen Chi in the room.
Shen Chi, who was reading a book, listened to it, and hurriedly ran to Shen Aizhi's studio, looking at the skirt hanging on the shelf, Shen Chi was very satisfied.
Shen Aizhi looked at the fluffy skirt and frowned, "If we want to make clothes professionally, we have to buy a sewing machine and come back." ”
Shen Chi waved his hand: "Buy it, the salvia in my backyard is about to be sold, and it is estimated that there will be a thousand eight hundred income, and this money should be the one I invested in my aunt's garment factory." ”
"You're arrogant, can your dad agree?" Shen Aizhi said with a smile.
"Why don't I agree with the money I earned?" Shen Chi replied.
The aunt and nephew were talking and laughing, and Shen Changlin also came back from Gui Shuzhen.
"How is my mom?" Shen Chi asked his father.
"It's all right." Shen Changlin replied.
It's just that Shen Chi didn't smile when he saw his father's face, and he was a little worried in his heart, and he planned to go with his father next time.
Every summer vacation, it means that the rural double robbery begins, this year Gui Shuzhen is pregnant and can't work, Shen Aizhi can only keep her son with his mother, and the Hu family will take care of Gui Shuzhen while helping to take care of the child, and she will help Shen Changlin busy with the work in the field.
With two helpers missing, Shen Fang had to stay at home to cook on the fire, while Sun Tao was left at home by Shen Chi to finish the homework he assigned.
He wanted to go to the field with Shen Chi, but he was afraid of locusts. Shen Chi has grown a lot taller in a year, and last year's anti-locust suit can no longer be worn, so he has to beg Shen Aizhi to lengthen him.
This year, Shen Chi's attributes have risen, and the seedlings are planted faster than last year, and he can already catch up with the seedlings planted by an adult at the end of the day.
The hardest thing is Shen Aizhi, who is busy with the work in the fields during the day, and has to design clothes designed by Shen Chi in the workshop at night. Shen Chi told her that after the summer vacation, peers like her sister Shen Fang were about to enter junior high school, and they would definitely sell more clothes and skirts for boys and girls.
Maybe it was because Shen Chi saved her life, Shen Aizhi was very obedient to Shen Chi, and she was whatever Shen Chi said.
After making clothes, he was busy making headdresses and headflowers, Shen Chi saw that his aunt was so hard, so he divided the headdress into several processes, and then subcontracted these processes, and found the young daughters-in-law who were free in the village, one person was responsible for a process, and finally assembled it to become a complete headdress.
Shen Aizhi felt sorry for the money: "Isn't this invisibly half of the cost?" ”
Shen Chi enlightened: "But my aunt has saved time, auntie, don't you make more money by freeing up this time to run the market to find customers?" ”
Seeing that my aunt still didn't understand a little, Shen Chi had no choice but to continue: "Auntie, look, how many commissaries are there outside, these are our potential customers, we sell them the finished headdresses, or give them at the wholesale price, we go to the volume, don't we earn back all the money for inviting people?" ”
"It's the Wangji bakery in the town, and they just send their bread to the commissary to sell." Shen Aizhi is a little bit clear.
"That's the truth, and auntie, let's not be afraid that others will make money, everyone who has money to achieve a win-win situation is the secret of success in business." Shen Chi took the opportunity to give a lesson to his aunt.
Shen Aizhi looked suspicious: "Where did you learn these truths?" ”
Shen Chi felt a void in his heart, and said abruptly: "Read, do you read so many books for me?" ”
Keeping Shen Chi's words in mind, when he went home after planting seedlings the next day, he passed by the door of Chunsheng's house in the village and saw Chunsheng's daughter-in-law Guixiang taking care of the child at home.
When she first married in Yuanjia Village, Shen Aizhi had not yet married, and the relationship between the two was originally very good, but now seeing that she was living a difficult family with three children, she had the heart to help.
Thinking of what Shen Chi said to himself yesterday, he invited Guixiang: "Guixiang, I'm selling headdresses, are you interested in participating?" ”
Guixiang was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly said that she would go to Shen Chi's house after dinner.
Shen Aizhi worked in his own exclusive studio after dinner, there was no partition wall inside, more than 50 square meters were all open, and he simply brought a big light bulb, which can attract mosquitoes in summer, Shen Chi lit mosquito coils for his aunt.
Not long after, Chunsheng's daughter-in-law Guixiang came to Shen Chi's house, and was very surprised to see Shen Aizhi buy so much cloth and come back.
Shen Aizhi beckoned her to sit down, let her deal with the simple process first, and then do the difficult ones when she got started.
"You take these rags back and put them together into strips, like this." Shen Aizhi taught seriously: "After putting it together, wrap the rubber band in it to make a flower." ”
