"By the way, how's your leather shoe factory going? I wanted to tell you last time that this is a big deal and we can't be so hasty."
Sun Huifang was stroking her hair with a worried look on her face.
"I think the eldest brother has a strong will and wants to do something big. The second brother didn't see what he meant."
Qiao Xiangqian also wanted to participate, but he just didn't have enough brains.
"Brothers can be bad when they work together, let alone half-brothers. I'm not saying that they are both bad-hearted, but partnership business is the most difficult thing to do."
Sun Huifang's words were straightforward but reasonable. Qiao Jinling couldn't help but admire her mother's emotional intelligence, her brain was much clearer than her father's.
"Yes, dad, Lingling doesn't want you to go either."
Qiao Jinling hugged her father's neck and acted like a baby.
"Haha, you little girl, can you understand what the adults say? Let dad weigh it. After a birthday, she has become heavier and taller. My eldest daughter looks better when she wears the sweater knitted by your mother.
!”
No matter how many worries Qiao Xiangqian had, he felt happy from the bottom of his heart when he saw this girl with a plump face.
"Mom, why don't we knit sweaters and sell them."
Qiao Jinling had a whim.
"You kid, you think about it every time. Which woman can't knit sweaters now? If anyone can't, it's like they can't cook. They take advantage of their free time to knit while chatting, and they knit so well.
I can't compare to a fast one. And I don't even know if he wears a big one or a small one."
Sun Huifang is telling the truth. In the 1980s, knitting sweaters was a must-have skill for every mother. It was too expensive to buy, so it was more cost-effective to knit it yourself.
"Mom, why don't we knit hats and sell them!"
Qiao Jin had an idea. Since knitting sweaters was not an advantage and there were size restrictions, it was better to knit hats. It required less yarn and the finished product was faster and there were no size requirements.
"Hey, that's a good idea. Our wool is good. We can knit more colors. Usually we don't have that much wool at home. Maybe we can try it. But I'm afraid I won't be able to do it."
Sun Huifang's interest was also aroused.
"What are you afraid of? Wife, go ahead and try it boldly. You won't make any money by following others. Don't worry. I'll talk to Sister Ji over there. You can just go ahead and do it. You can make money but not make money.
Don’t worry, I’m here with you.”
Qiao Xiangqian's support doubled Sun Huifang's confidence.
"Then let's come up with a name!"
Qiao Jinling believes that it is necessary to have brand awareness and have its own unique name, even if the business is small.
"Haha, it's not a child, why should I name it?"
Sun Huifang felt that this child always had these weird ideas in his mind.
"Get up, if mom can't afford it, then Lingling will get up."
Qiao Jinling held her chin in her hands and thought about it carefully. After much thought, she felt that it was not good, so she might as well use her mother's name.
"How about calling it Huifang Products?"
Qiao clapped her hands forward and laughed: "Huifang Products, this is a good name!"
Sun Huifang is a little shy. She has never thought that her name can be used as a brand.
They just did what they said. The mother and daughter stopped talking to Qiao Qianqian and started talking about the style of hats. Qiao Jinling had a special say in this aspect. She had always liked all kinds of hats. Whenever the seasons changed, she would
You have to go to a boutique to buy something, even if you don’t need it, you still have to check out what new styles are available.
Now think about it, there is God's will in the dark, could it be that it is prepared for now?
Qiao Jinling had an idea in his mind, so he drew it on paper with watercolor pens. Sun Huifang was also very capable of understanding. She was able to knit a hat based only on her daughter's rough description.
Gradient colors, rainbow colors, contrasting colors, and various color combinations all present different effects. With fur balls on the hem and fur balls on the top, the fur is particularly cute.
There are also three-dimensional ones, with the ears of various animals drawn out: rabbits, kittens, puppies, and piglets. They are sewn onto the hat, and then small fur balls are sewn on. They look like cute little animals. The children watched it.
Will definitely like it.
There are also various flowers, with patterns such as roses and sunflowers, big or small, some alone, some in a group, each with its own charm, either fresh and elegant, some passionate and unrestrained, or cute and cute.
.
In just a few days, so many finished products were woven, which even Sun Huifang could not imagine. The sense of accomplishment of "making something out of nothing" is unparalleled.
"Mom is great! Mom is amazing! Mom is the best!"
Qiao Jinling blew her rainbow fart three times in a row.
To be honest, it was really good. She knew that her mother was very good at hand-knitting, but she didn't expect to add some creativity and proper handicrafts.
“Lingling’s paintings are also great!”
In the past few days, Qiao Jinling has been busy drawing every product they came up with and binding it into a volume, which is a hand-drawn product manual.
Qiao Jinling asked her father to buy back some empty boxes and ribbons, providing attentive service. If a customer wanted to buy them as gifts, they would be packed directly on site.
They were almost ready, and the mother and daughter were excited to sell them. They chose the entrance of the park where there was the largest flow of people.
This is a road leading to the back entrance of the park, connecting a large community. Many community residents will pass by here if they want to go to the park.
Before their stall was opened, several girls gathered around and chatted about how they had never seen such hats before. In less than ten minutes, five hats were sold.
Just like Sun Huifang, who was originally too shy to shout, she immediately became bolder. The wool she used was good, and ordinary wool only cost three to five yuan per catty, while her wool cost ten yuan per catty.
One pound of wool can weave about five hats, and the price of each hat ranges from five yuan to eight yuan, which means that one pound of wool can be sold for thirty or forty yuan. After excluding the odds and ends, one pound of wool can earn more than twenty yuan.
Think about how Qiao Xiangqiang worked so hard to pickle cowhide and only earned about ten yuan per piece. She just knitted hats and didn't have much work. She knitted them by hand and could earn so much money.
There were also women weaving and selling at the other stalls, all of which were dark colors with a single pattern. Seeing Sun Huifang and the others selling so well, their eyes almost popped out, and their faces were so jealous that they twitched.
The best-selling item was the children's hat. Qiao Jinling put on the little bunny hat, which was so pink and tender that it was so cute that the little girls pointed to it and wanted to buy it.
In one morning, they sold out all the hats they had saved for several days. The young girl spent a few dollars to buy a novel hat, which she had the spending power to do. Some of them were still unwilling to buy something they couldn't buy.
Qiao Jinling hurriedly handed over the picture album and ordered a dozen hats. Sun Huifang did not expect it to be so popular. She would have brought the wool over and knitted it while selling it.
"Mom, that's great, count how much money we earned?!"
Qiao Jinling is happy when she thinks about making money.
"A total of 35 hats were sold for 215 yuan. We used 7 kilograms of wool, and we earned 145 yuan! That's two months of other people's wages! Hush! Don't be heard."
When Sun Huifang did the math, she was so surprised that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
She quickly tied up her purse with a handkerchief and stuffed it into her sock tube, for fear of being noticed by thieves.
"That's great, Mom, you've made money."
Qiao Jinling is happier than her mother. In this life, she doesn't ask for a big house or a successful career and makes a lot of money. She just wants to see her mother's smiling face.
She didn't understand when she was a child. She always saw her mother frowning and running around day and night for money. She regretted why she existed. Without her, her mother would definitely live an easier life.
So she studied hard and wanted to make a lot of money, just to make her mother happy and smile, but before that day came, her mother died tragically on the hospital bed.
"Let's go and buy something delicious for my eldest daughter."
Sun Huifang, who has a huge pocket, has the confidence to speak. No matter how good a man is, it is better to spend the money he earns!
