Chapter 193 It turns out that I am a useful person
When the car returned to the construction site, Yang Hong's tractor also arrived, and loader Yuan Wen was unloading bricks.
Yuan Wen took a brick clamp and unloaded the bricks in a meticulous manner, and he didn't look anxious at all.
He really didn't need to worry, since he would have a centimeter of it when he returned home after unloading it.
Wan Feng watched for a while and began to express his opinions.
"No wonder you're so slow in unloading a truck of bricks. It's okay if you're not in a hurry now, but in the future there will be large construction sites that will use a lot of bricks. If we calculate it on a per-car basis, you won't even be able to earn back a piece of cake at your unloading speed."
Yuan Wen was confused: "Isn't it the same way to unload bricks?"
"You can unload slowly and use more force this way. I'll tell you how to unload it quickly and with less effort."
Wan Feng spent a year pulling bricks with a truck in his last life, and that truck was much taller than this 22 tractor.
The taller the truck pulling bricks, the more difficult it is to unload. They pull four thousand bricks per truck. They go to the brick factory five days a day in the morning and go home at eight o'clock in the evening. They have to pull four trucks a day. If they are like Yuan Wen, they will have to pull two bricks a day.
If you can't even pull the car, then you still make a shitty amount of money.
The common unit of brick pile in northern rural areas is a ding, and one dice of bricks is worth 200 pieces. There are 441 stories in total, with a total of 12 floors. Eight bricks floating on top are exactly 200 pieces.
"This truck pulls a thousand bricks, which are five-inch bricks. You first lay out the bottom of the five-inch bricks, and then stack them layer by layer. The higher the stack of bricks, the easier it is to unload them. Finally, you stand on the bed of the truck.
Just put it on the stack and stack it directly. If you don’t believe me, try it. I’m sure it will be faster and less laborious than unloading the stack one by one.”
Yuan Wen dubiously followed the method taught by Wan Feng to unload the bricks. When the bricks were unloaded, he saw that he had saved nearly ten minutes.
"The frequency of your arm swings is too slow. If you swing your arms faster, you can save more time."
While talking, he performed a few demonstration moves, which made Yuan Wen dumbfounded.
It was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when Wan Feng got home. Wan Feng got off the bus at Dongtou. At this time, he went to Luan Feng's house just to get some food. He still had this sense.
After dinner, Wan Feng and Zhu Yan came to Luan Feng's house.
Luan Feng's house was very lively at night. More than ten people gathered at her house, mainly the female members of the Wahou commune who came to hand over embroidery patterns.
They handed the embroidered patterns to Luan Feng. After Luan Feng inspected them and passed the inspection, she paid them corresponding rewards, and then handed them the patterns she needed and asked them to take them back for processing.
After these people left, the only outsiders left here were Zhu Yan and Jiang Xue.
The two of them have been here for several days and are already proficient in using the sewing machine. Their task is to use the sewing machine to sew clothes.
Zhu Yan and Jiang Xue were working on sewing machines, and Luan Feng and Jiang Min's task was to sort out the fabrics for cutting, and pick out some of the dirty fabrics and have them cleaned.
Wan Feng gave the money from today's sale to Luan Feng.
"Today I took Aunt Xia to the city and taught her how to sell. We sold eighteen pieces at two yuan each. I gave her the remaining ten pieces at the wholesale price. After excluding the profit that Aunt Xia deserved,
A total of fifty-one yuan was sold here."
Luan Feng looked at the money stupidly. She did not expect that those clothes could be sold for so much money.
The victory on the first day made Luan Feng overjoyed, and her eyes almost burst into waterfalls. She and Jiang Min danced together like two happy grasshoppers.
"You keep this money for turnover first. I have written down the accounts. I will calculate it when your turnover is smooth. How many finished products did you make today?"
"Ten pairs of trousers and six pieces of children's clothes can still get a few out at night."
According to the sales volume during the day, the finished product seems to be a bit low, which is not enough to sell, especially children's clothing. Children's clothing is obviously sold faster than pants.
"Well, let's transfer all the pants to your master. We will do our best to process the clothes. We can add some adult clothes as appropriate, mainly women's clothes."
Children's clothing needs some pattern decoration on it. If Yan Shufang sews it and takes it back, he has to go through the sewing process of the pattern, which is equivalent to an extra step. It is better to have a one-time finished product here and let them specialize in making pants.
The success of children's clothes and pants made Wan Feng see the future of adult clothing for women, and he could add it in small quantities.
"Luan Feng, Jiang Min, let me ask you something. Have you ever thought about the effect of changing women's pants to open the door in the front?"
This question confused Luan Feng and Jiang Min.
"Is it possible to change women's pants to open in the front?"
What's wrong with this? Women in thirty or forty years may not even know that trousers used to have right-hand or left-hand openings.
Wan Feng thought for a while and realized that the concept could not be changed at once. He could make some in small quantities first.
"Let's not discuss this issue for now. The hips of women's pants should be tightened appropriately. It's up to you to tighten them as much as possible, as long as they can show some of the curves of women's buttocks."
Luan Feng rolled her eyes: "If you don't hold it tight anymore, it will look ugly."
Wan Feng said sternly: "You think it's ugly, but men think it's beautiful. Isn't it just for women to dress up for men to see?"
"You are talking nonsense. Why do women dress just to show themselves to men?"
Wan Feng curled his lips and said: "If there are no men to see, who will you show your allure to? Can you show it to cows and pigs and they will understand?"
Luan Feng originally wanted to physically fight back against Wan Feng, at least using the Nine Yin White Bone Claws. He was discriminating against women, but looking at Zhu Yan and Jiang Xuesheng who were working on the sewing machine, she suppressed this idea.
You can only stare at someone hard.
"You heard me right. I know what you women are thinking. Not only should you tighten your hips, but also your trousers, and let the trousers legs go a little bit, maybe half an inch. In this way, don't we save fabric? Save a little bit."
a little."
Jiang Min didn't hesitate at all and started to modify the proportions of her pants.
The only advantage of making clothes these days is that you don't have to reserve so many different numbers. Except for the difference in height, there is not much difference in the thickness of people. Anyway, everyone has lost weight, and no one is fat.
After these questions are over, it's time to settle the accounts with Jiang Min. She is regarded as the master hired by Wan Feng. The accounts must be settled every day, otherwise the accumulation will be unclear.
"How much work did Jiang Min do yesterday afternoon and today? Give her some credit," Wan Feng asked Luan Feng.
"Seventeen pieces were cut and eight were sewn."
Regardless of cutting or sewing, Wan Feng priced a set of clothes for Jiang Min at 20 cents. Although this was lower than the price in the rural market, it was also the top wage standard for individuals at that time.
In this way, in a day and a half, Jiang Min put on twenty-five clothes, equal to twelve and a half sets, and earned two and a half yuan in handicraft money.
"Sister Min, from yesterday afternoon to now, your wages are two and a half yuan. I deducted two and a half yuan from your family's account. Now your family still owes me forty-seven and a half yuan."
Jiang Min nodded and said he understood.
In a day and a half, she helped her family pay off the debt of 2.5 yuan. She was quite satisfied with the result.
If she continues at this rate, the fifty yuan her family borrowed from Wan Feng will be repaid in twenty days.
For the first time since childhood, Jiang Min felt that she was not a useless person.
