Chen Lishu nodded: "Section Chief, don't worry, I will definitely not tell a third person about this matter today."
After coming out of Li Zhengxing's office, Chen Lishu looked at the notes in her hand and felt a little excited.
Corduroy costs 60 cents per foot, let alone selling it as ready-made clothes. Even if she sells it as fabric, she can make double the price difference. What's more, if it is made into ready-made clothes, it costs 20 cents per piece, after deducting the cost and labor.
Earn more than three thousand.
It looks like we are really going to make a fortune this time!
The total cost of fifteen pieces of cloth was less than 900 yuan. After paying the money, Chen Lishu came back to Li Zhengxing with the receipt given by the finance department, who took her to pick up the cloth.
The warehouse of the city textile factory occupies a large area. It contains a lot of fabrics that are about to be loaded onto trucks and are neatly stacked in boxes.
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the city's textile factory and printing and dyeing factory merged and were renamed Textile Printing and Dyeing Factory, so most of the fabrics in the warehouse are finished products.
The corduroy that Chen Lishu bought was maroon, and the warehouse manager helped find fifteen pieces.
Li Zhengxing turned his head and looked at Chen Lishu: "Xiao Chen, how do you transport it? Do you pick it up yourself or do we help?"
The factory does have cars that can be delivered to the location, but you have to pay the freight separately.
Chen Lishu thought for a moment and said: "Chief Li, I don't have much here. Can you leave it here for now and I'll call a car to pick it up later?"
The quantity of goods was so small that it would cost more than 100 to hire a car to deliver them to the town, so she still chose to mail them.
Li Zhengxing nodded, spoke to the warehouse manager, and then turned to look at Chen Lishu: "I'll leave first if I have something to do in the office."
"Thank you, section chief, for your busy work." Chen Lishu thanked her again. When she saw the person walking away, she turned around and asked the warehouse manager for a few nylon bags. She first tore off two meters of fabric to make sample clothes, and then put all the bags away.
The fabrics were all tightly tied up, and then I went to look for a human-powered tricycle.
Because there were so many things to mail, she spent nearly thirty yuan on postage alone.
After paying the money, Chen Lishu went outside to find a phone booth and called Lin Qi and Gu Xingye respectively. After all, there was a lot of fabric this time and she was afraid that Lin Qi would not be able to handle it alone.
After briefly talking about the pick-up time, Chen Lishu went through the specific arrangements before hanging up the phone.
Two calls cost her nearly two yuan.
After coming out of the phone booth, Chen Lishu went straight to the department store.
Although corduroy feels smooth, soft and thick, it has poor abrasion resistance and is easy to tear. Especially after being worn for a long time, the elbows and knees will become thin and deformed.
Chen Lishu remembers that in order to improve this situation, it became popular in the 1980s and 1990s to sew thin leather items on the elbows, collars and knees. The leather is soft and wear-resistant, which can greatly improve the wear and tear of clothes.
However, after searching for a long time, she could not find anyone selling leather. It seems that the technology is not perfect yet and leather is not popular yet.
In the end, she had no choice but to settle for the next best thing. Because the fabric was maroon, she bought a piece of dark gray labor cloth.
After buying the things she needed, Chen Lishu went to the grocery store to buy some sesame paste and sesame seeds, and was going home to make sesame paste cakes for Gu Xingdong.
It was already afternoon when she got home. She put her things away and went straight to washing her hands and hair.
I made sesame paste pancakes for dinner, and used the tomatoes and eggs stored in the summer to make some tomato and egg soup.
"What did you do today? I smelled the fragrance as soon as I entered the corridor."
Gu Xingdong opened the door and came in. Suddenly, a strong aroma of sesame seeds rushed into his nose, and his already hungry stomach couldn't help but start to growl.
"Meow." As if in response, the Cat King also called out anxiously.
Seeing Chen Lishu coming in with the cake, Gu Xingdong reached out to take a piece into his mouth first, but Chen Lishu slapped it away rudely: "It's dirty or not, go and wash your hands quickly."
Gu Xingdong didn't take it seriously and made a gesture of opening his mouth to her without moving his body: "Feed me."
Chen Lishu smiled and picked up a piece of cake and put it into his mouth. She looked expectantly and asked: "How does it taste?"
"What my wife feeds must be delicious."
"Who asked you this?"
Seeing Gu Xingdong enter the bathroom quickly, Chen Lishu couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.
At night, when the two of them were lying on the bed, Gu Xingdong's hands began to become restless again. Just as he was about to take further action, Chen Lishu poured a basin of cold water down on him: "Xingdong, here I am."
Gu Xingdong made a movement with his hands. After realizing the meaning of her words, all his anger died down in an instant and he lay back on the bed dejectedly.
Chen Lishu wanted to say something when she saw him like this. Unexpectedly, before she could say anything, Gu Xingdong came over and wrapped her up in his arms. He kissed her forehead and said softly: "Come on, come on.
Don’t be discouraged, we will continue to work hard next month.”
Chen Lishu: "..." Which of his ears could tell that she was discouraged? The next day, when Chen Lishu woke up, Gu Xingdong had already left. After washing up and making some food, she started cutting the fabrics she was going to make.
Cut out the clothes.
Because she didn't have a sewing machine, sewing was slow. By the time she finished sewing the sample and mailed it to Lin Qi, Lin Qi had already taken back all the fabric and stored it in a small rented courtyard in the town.
Gu Xingye first took some of the fabric back to the village, while Lin Qi went to Zhou Bin and Nan Haitao to discuss the order.
Because of the large quantity, Chen Lishu did not intend to retail. The wholesale price was 18. If more than fifty pieces were counted, it would be calculated as 17. Zhou Bin ordered fifty pieces and wanted all the remaining Nanhai Tao.
Although due to manpower problems, it is definitely impossible to make all the clothes in the past few days, but fortunately it is the season of spring. A maroon corduroy top paired with a snow-white 'fake collar',
Definitely going to cause a little fashion stir.
While Chen Lishu was waiting to receive the money, the Qingshan Village Brigade Headquarters received three letters from the provincial capital.
"Congratulations from the in-laws, the admission notice for Xingdong's wife has arrived."
Zhang Changhe personally delivered the letter to the Gu family.
When Li Xiulan and Gu Shoufu heard that it was the admission notice, they looked particularly serious and quickly asked Gu Xingping to come over and take a look.
"Xingping, come on, your sister-in-law's notice has arrived. Read it to Mom. Which school did your third sister-in-law go to?"
Gu Xingping took it and took a look at it: "Mom and Dad, it says that my sister-in-law was admitted to the Foreign Languages Department of the Provincial Normal University."
"The Normal College is great. After you graduate, you will be a teacher. Teaching and educating people will be a good career in the future." Zhang Changhe said with a smile.
In this college entrance examination, not many people in the entire commune were admitted to college. Their Qingshan Village only occupied three places. There were several teams around but none. What does this mean? This shows that he, the party secretary, has good leadership! This time I went to the commune at the end of the year
The leader at the meeting even praised him specifically. He felt that his waist was much straighter than that of other teams.
Hearing his praise, the old couple felt so proud and immediately burst into laughter.
