Sun Min looked at Chen Lishu in surprise: "You also know the situation of my family. Several children have to go to school, and the tuition alone costs dozens of dollars a semester. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law need money to get married. If there is such a good thing, I will definitely agree.
"
Hearing what she said, Chen Lishu was relieved, and then she briefly explained how she wanted to make clothes for her: "If you complete a piece, you will get a commission of one dollar. The more you do, the more you do. What do you think, sister-in-law?"
"What's there to see? I'm totally willing to take such a good opportunity." Sun Min and his wife are both old people working in a garment factory. Cutting and making clothes is as simple as a daily routine for them, and the couple can relax in one night.
You can complete one.
After finalizing the decision with Sun Min, Chen Lishu immediately went home and took the fabric and a dress she had made, and asked them to follow the instructions.
Because Sun Min and his wife joined the team, Chen Lishu felt much more relaxed.
Gu Xingye's business of selling roasted seeds and seeds was also going very smoothly. In just three days, he sold more than 200 kilograms of dried goods that he had collected two years ago and exchanged them for 41 yuan.
"I wish I had collected more dry goods." Unexpectedly, selling things at the train station was really popular, and Gu Xingye couldn't help but regret it.
"Actually, I don't want to sell anything. I don't have a private plot at home. This year, I can buy a variety of cucumbers, persimmons and the like and sell them at the train station. After taking the train for a long time, those things must be particularly popular." Chen Lishu suggested with a smile.
Gu Xingye couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard her words: "I will tell my parents when I get home tomorrow, and there will be more hair on the wall this year."
Because he had to go back to work in the team, Gu Xingye went home the next day. Before going back, Chen Lishu asked him to bring some fabrics home. Because the windbreaker was already made, she was not prepared to ask Zhang Qin and the others to make another one.
Make new styles of clothes.
Time flies to Thursday. Chen Lishu and Wang's husband and wife made a total of twenty pieces of clothing. There were few people ordering men's clothes, so Chen Lishu only made two pieces of each type, and the rest were all women's clothes.
At two o'clock on Thursday afternoon, Chen Lishu arrived at the alley behind the appointed department store on time. There were several people there who had been waiting eagerly for her. When they saw her coming with a package, one of the bolder girls hesitated and stepped forward.
, lowered his voice and asked: "Comrade, are we selling clothes?"
"Um."
Chen Lishu looked around warily, then walked a little deeper into the alley before finding an open space and opening the package. All kinds of clothes were immediately revealed.
"No tickets are required for each item made of thick material, 16 for each item, and 15 for each other item. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I hope everyone will automatically line up to buy in an orderly manner, and leave as soon as possible after purchasing. Thank you for your cooperation."
Chen Lishu lowered her voice and said that everyone lined up consciously because Ding Chen and the others had helped to make rough statistics before, so the transaction was completed in less than an hour.
There are still people who were delayed and did not come in time, so they have to wait for the next opportunity.
Now, as policies become more and more relaxed and wages increase, people's purchasing power also increases. After deducting costs, Chen Lishu earned more than 100 yuan this time.
Not long after that, a new style of clothing called the bat shirt began to quietly become popular in the streets and alleys of Qingshan Town. Young women, especially, were proud to own a bat shirt.
"Sister, in addition to the 'fake collar', I also got thirty pieces of bat shirts this time. The provincial capital is expected to allocate a batch of goods. I will be there with the car in a few days."
On this day, Zhou Bin suddenly came to the door and spoke.
When Chen Lishu heard that he wanted so many goods, she was a little embarrassed and said: "Brother Zhou, it's not that I don't want to give you so many goods. It's because my manpower is limited now. Someone has already ordered a hundred pieces before. You suddenly want it so urgently.
I’m afraid I really won’t be able to provide it for the moment.”
Seeing that bat shirts were becoming popular, Nan Haitao took the initiative and directly ordered a hundred pieces. Now that Zhou Bin wanted them again, Chen Lishu really couldn't do anything else.
"Sister, please think of a way. It's rare for me to go to the provincial capital. If I don't bring something with me, this opportunity will be wasted."
"That's okay."
After all, they are long-term collaborators. Chen Lishu thought for a while and said, "But I'll put the ugly words first. I'll do my best. I'm not sure how much you can get, Brother Zhou."
"It's okay, as long as you say this, girl." Seeing that she agreed, Zhou Bin couldn't ask for anything more. He nodded hurriedly, paid part of the deposit and turned around to leave.
Chen Lishu looked at the money in her hand and began to worry again.
As the demand for ready-made clothes increases, the small amount of fabrics in department stores cannot meet her needs, and it is easy for people to become suspicious if she often buys fabrics in large quantities.
Nowadays, in the planned economy, all goods are supplied and sold under a unified system. It is definitely not easy to get some fabrics privately.
Chen Lishu thought about it and finally decided to call Jiang Weiguo.
"Hey, Manager Jiang, I'm Chen Lishu, yes, that's Xiao Chen, who I've met twice."
Chen Lishu held the microphone in her hand and listened patiently to Jiang Weiguo's official tone. Finally, Jiang Weiguo asked, knowingly: "What's the matter with you calling?"
"I want to ask Manager Jiang if you have any more fabrics there. I want to buy some." Chen Lishu put her hands next to the microphone and whispered in a low voice, fearing that others would hear her.
"I don't have much in hand right now. I just have some linen fabric. Do you want it?"
"How to sell?"
"A dollar a foot."
Chen Lishu frowned when she heard the price he quoted: "Manager Jiang, the last labor cost only nine cents."
Jiang Weiguo smiled: "Girl, the fabric is definitely not that expensive, but you said that if you really place an order, do I have to mail it to you? I will also take risks in terms of manpower and material resources, don't you think so?"
Jiang Weiguo knew in his mind that if Chen Lishu could call him, it must be because she needed fabrics, so the price would naturally go up.
Chen Lishu felt a little angry when she heard his hypocritical voice. This old fox was convinced that she was in urgent need of fabrics, so she felt confident.
"I wonder how much fabric Manager Jiang has in his hands?" Chen Lishu took a deep breath and asked in a low voice.
"The inspections from above have been strict recently, and I don't have much on hand..."
The two communicated for a while, and Chen Lishu finally ordered the goods for 500 yuan. She needed to send the money first, and then Jiang Weiguo would arrange the delivery.
Chen Lishu was not afraid that Jiang Weiguo would take the money and not deliver the goods. After all, they were in the same province and not far apart. Moreover, if there was a quarrel, Jiang Weiguo would not be able to secure his iron rice bowl.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Lishu went to remit money to Jiang Weiguo. After everything was settled, Chen Lishu thought about loading two pieces of fabric that Nan Haitao had brought not long ago, left a note for Gu Xingping, locked the courtyard door, and rode her bicycle.
Went back to the village.
"Brother, I saw a bicycle parked in Gu's courtyard. That bitch named Chen must be back."
Liu Xiaobao caught a glimpse of the bicycle in Gu's courtyard and ran back to the house to tell Liu Dabao.
"Damn it, that bitch is finally back." Liu Dabao glanced in the direction of the Gu family with sinister eyes, gritted his teeth and said, "This time we brothers must teach her a lesson."
