Chapter 51: Jiang Yi learned to barber and practiced with the villagers
Jiang Li started with door-to-door service, and there were more people who needed haircuts later, so she simply asked everyone to come from the yard of her home.
Considering that people's income is relatively limited now, his haircut level is also very average, and he does not include hair washing, Jiang Li only offered a price of three cents.
In other words, it only costs three cents for a door-to-door haircut, which is two cents cheaper than the barber shop outside.
Many people have long or short hair, as long as they don't cover their eyes and don't get in the way, it doesn't matter if they cut it or not.
The people in the village don't have a tradition of cutting their hair once a month, but cutting their hair once can be two cents cheaper, which is a very good deal for them.
At first, there were only a few people looking for Jiang Li for a haircut, but after looking at her haircutting skills and the price she charged, more and more people followed.
There were more than a dozen people lined up at the door at once, and Jiang Li originally wanted to cut it slowly and show off his craftsmanship.
Seeing that there were more and more people, and they couldn't let everyone wait here, Jiang Li also sped up.
With the help of manual faders, she began to work in an assembly line.
Basically, the hairstyles of people in the village are similar, and occasionally Jiang Li, who has a more peculiar head shape, makes a little adjustment.
Jiang Li generally cuts one person in about ten minutes, 5 to 6 people an hour, and can earn 1 yuan 5 to 1 yuan 8.
There is almost no cost to a haircut, and these profits are net gains.
Jiang Li felt that his arms were a little tired at first, but the more he worked later, the more energetic he became.
You must know that all you make is money, except for some physical strength, it is basically a business without capital.
Jiang Yi came back from school more than an hour later, and he was very surprised when he returned home.
The courtyard in front of his house was surrounded by people on the third floor and the third floor outside, and he thought something big had happened, but after he rushed in desperately, he saw a group of people surrounding his sister waiting for her to get a haircut.
The people around the side are all coming to see the excitement, and the people inside are all queuing.
When will my sister give a haircut?
Although she heard her sister say it before, she thought her sister was talking nonsense, but she didn't expect it to be true!
"Sister, are you busy?"
Jiang Yi wanted to go over to help, but he didn't know where to start.
Although he has a good memory and can read, some things still need to be skilled.
"It's a bit too busy, do you want to try?"
Jiang Li wanted to train his younger brother, Jiang Yi was also excited with a pair of scissors, and the person waiting next to him immediately quit.
"That's not good, I paid for a haircut, and I didn't pay someone to practice for free."
The man immediately covered his head and didn't let Jiang Yi get started, Jiang Yi smiled bitterly, the reason why many crafts are difficult to learn is not because everyone is stupid, but because many people won't give them a chance at first.
In fact, I want to know, who wants to make experiments for others? After doing it, you have to give money, how do you think about it, how do you feel a loss.
"Uncles, brothers and brothers, do you plan to cut your head? The first five are free! ”
As soon as I heard that it was free, some people's eyes immediately lit up.
For many rural people, the hairstyle is not important, the important thing is that the hair does not get in the way.
But hair grows every day, and it grows very long every two or three months, and at this time, it will be difficult to take care of if you don't cut it, and it will also block the view, which is really troublesome.
Most people in the village will choose to have a flat head or a bald head when they go for a haircut, with only one purpose, the shorter and less hair, the slower it grows, and the less money it will spend.
Five haircuts a year and six haircuts a year, you can save a few cents in the middle, and you can buy half a catty of meat to enjoy.
"I want it!"
"I want it too!"
"And me!"
Immediately, three people signed up, and they could save three cents at a time, and they could buy several steamed buns.
In addition, two others also signed up quickly, so that the quota was full, and Jiang Li began to say the request for a free haircut.
"As for our free haircut, we need to let Jiang Yi cut his hair once, of course, if it's not suitable, I will help cut it for free."
As soon as Jiang Li's voice fell, some people expressed their dissatisfaction and immediately withdrew from the registration.
This person thinks more complicatedly, in case Jiang Yi's haircut level is not good and his head is cut, then won't he lose more than he gains?
"Of course, there will definitely be people who are unwilling, but it doesn't matter, after all, I did this activity for a win-win situation, and I didn't think about who to pit, it mainly depends on the individual's wishes."
As soon as Jiang Li said this, there was originally a person who wanted to quit but stayed in the end.
"Who needs the last spot left? If no one wants it, forget it, four people is no different than five. ”
Jiang Li said casually, every word she said seemed simple, but in fact, it entered their hearts, everyone thought about it, or just sign up?
So the last spot was filled.
Finally, someone was willing to practice for him, and Jiang Yi took the manual clipper and began to work.
He had just stood on the side and observed for a while, and he had already mastered the details of several haircuts.
Now it's the first time to get started, and his hands are a little shaky, and he accidentally shaved a few pits on his uncle's head, Jiang Yi's nervous heart is pounding.
He pursed his mouth and held his breath, even if the hands that were already scared were not his own, he still calmly gave the uncle a haircut.
"Uncle, there is a mirror here, do you want to shave your head or just like that?"
Uncle couldn't see the potholes in the back of his head, Jiang Yi also took the initiative to point to those places and tell him: "Uncle, my hands were a little shaky just now, and I cut a few pits on the back of my head, I don't know if you mind?" ”
"No one looks at the back of the head, and I can't see it anyway. I'm an old man, and it's still a little cool to have a bald head, or this hairstyle. ”
Jiang Yi's first shaved hair was on the surface of the moon, but fortunately, the uncle didn't mind, so he left with a pothole in his hair.
Jiang Yi, who was half frightened, breathed a sigh of relief and began to shave the second person's haircut.
This time it was a young man in his 20s, this age was the most smelly, and Jiang Yi felt a lot of pressure.
He played okay at first, but then he shaved off a large chunk of the young man's hair because of nervousness.
He continued to practice hard, and the other places were not badly shaved, but the bald patch on the back of the right head was particularly ugly.
"Brother, this time your hair is a bit of a failure, let my sister shave your head bald."
Jiang Yi lowered his head and carefully took the mirror, and the young man looked in front of him, looking at it very satisfied.
There is a cold piece on the back of the head, reach out and touch it, good fellow, this piece is empty enough to plant a rice plant.
"Push it, push it, it's a pity that there is such a good hairstyle in front, young man, your haircutting skills are still a little worse than your sister."
