"Don't worry, your daughter won't do things without brains!"
Mei Xiaoran is waiting for remittance at home these few days, went to visit each relative's home. Now four aunt in the economic and Trade Commission has a lot of smooth work, she and Guoxia two people in the office, Qi Yan can no longer rise to the storm, and four uncle Cheng bin in the past two years to go out for sales also made a lot of money, their family is now on the rise.
The third aunt and the third uncle are still like that. The third uncle is still half dead in the opera company. He is not good at it and has a good temper. That is to say, seeing that the third aunt can make money now, the third uncle is not very angry.
And the second aunt and second uncle are also busy, the second uncle in the construction team, the second aunt is still busy in the shop. However, the second aunt's main energy now is not to make clothes, but to sell pants. After all, there are more and more beautiful clothes on the market, and fewer and fewer people buy cloth to make clothes.
"Second aunt, I don't think you can leave behind the business of the tailor's shop."
"But now there are fewer and fewer people who make clothes. It's no money just to be a tailor."
"Second aunt, please think about it. What else must be done?"
Li Mingqin thought about it, but he didn't think of it.
"Second aunt, have you forgotten the bed sheet, quilt cover and curtain?"
Mei Xiaoran reminded her: "these things also have to be made. Although there are complete sets now, they are expensive and cost-effective. Moreover, it is easier than making clothes."
Why didn't Li Mingqin remind her?
If you want to make a bed sheet and quilt cover, you can only use good size and pull good cloth. Bed sheet is relatively the simplest, the most is to lock an edge, not necessarily to lock the edge. The quilt cover is a little more complicated. In fact, it's just a little more zipper There are curtains, which are almost the same in nature.
"Oh, Ran Ran Ran, you are so smart that I didn't expect it."
Li Mingqin is also confused, this period of time to do clothing business has not been good, she this with pants to sell together. Before that, she thought that if she couldn't do it, she would stop making clothes. She would sell the rest of the goods and sell pants. However, Ran Ran Ran reminded her that the cotton cloth she entered could only be used for clothes. The beautiful patterns could be used for bed sheets and quilt covers.
"Second aunt, you are skillful. You are not short in size. If you want to make bed sheets and curtains, you can do it well."
Mei Xiaoran knew that when the economy developed, the tailor's business was indeed affected. However, until later generations, there are still many cloth shops that rely on making bed sheets, quilts, curtains and so on to survive. That is because some items have to be measured by themselves to make them. It will not be said that there is a unified version and standard like clothes.
"Ran Ran, if you want to say that, I'll go back to the market to purchase goods. Our county hasn't said it's specialized in this business. It's all carried by cloth shops. I have to make a unique one."
"That must be OK. You are still your own house. Even if others want to compete with you, they have no advantage."
Li Mingqin was said to be moved. She couldn't wait to purchase goods the next day. She immediately decided to go to Nanping City to purchase goods now.
"Ran Ran, go and call Zhou Yan to me. Let her see the shop in the afternoon, and I'll go into the cloth."
Mei Xiaoran, of course, went to see Zhou Yan without saying a word.
By the time Zhou Yan came, Li Mingqin had already gone to the station.
In any case, Mei Xiaoran is free, so she stays in the store to help in the afternoon.
It's dog days in July. There are no sunshade trees in the trade market. They are two-story buildings. The afternoon sun shines fiercely, and the fans blow out hot wind.
In comparison, Mingqin store is backlit, which makes it feel a little better, but Mingyun store is really sunburnt, even the wall is hot.
Mei Xiaoran comes to chat with Zhou Yan behind the counter.
"Zhou Yan, are you a junior at the beginning of school?"
"Yes, it was so fast. Sister ran ran, you have graduated from the senior year. Listen to my mother, you are going to stay in the provincial capital and not come back? "
"It's mainly because Ouyang Xun was transferred to the provincial capital. I'm sure I want to be with him."
When it comes to ouyangxun, Mei Xiaoran is really uncomfortable. After all, she was angry with Ouyang Xun before she ran out. I have not seen Ouyang Xun for nearly a month.
"You two's feelings are really enviable."
Zhou Yan is very envious. She is a junior and has never been in love.
"You can't be as good as you think. We'll quarrel or something."
Mei Xiaoran sighed, "to be honest, we have not been in touch for nearly a month."
"Ah? How could that happen? Aren't you two all right? "
"Don't mention it. We had a quarrel about something before."
Mei Xiaoran didn't want to mention these troubles, so she wanted to wait until she returned to the provincial capital to solve them. Now it's useless to say that they are not.Zhou Yan advised her: "you two have been together for so many years. It's not that you are going to get married. Why are you still angry?"
"We had this plan in the last two years But even if I'm going to get married, I'll have to wait for my job to settle down. You know I'm waiting for a job assignment
"Sister, I hope you get together soon."
"Yes, we don't have a big contradiction. We just make a little fuss."
Of course, Mei Xiaoran also took the opportunity to ask about Zhou Yan's study, life and feelings. Zhou Yan said that she was not in love, and she was the same as before.
"I feel like you have to find a boyfriend. You are not young now. It's normal to fall in love."
Zhou Yan was embarrassed to smile.
Summer is the off-season of clothing business. It's not until four or five o'clock in the afternoon.
Mingyun store sold several short sleeve skirts, but there was no one in the cloth shop for a long time. It was very difficult to get a clothes maker, that is, tear the silk cloth. It was said that it was to make summer coats for children.
Mei Xiaoran is good at business, but she can't tear cloth and cut clothes.
Zhou Yan came over with a tape measure. She took the child to measure the size and wrote it down. According to the size of the child, she tore the cloth off. She also wrote a small ticket, saying that she wanted people to come to pick up the clothes the next day. The whole process is skilled and agile, which makes Mei Xiaoran a little different. She really doesn't know that Zhou Yan has done so well in this respect.
Of course, Zhou Yan also asked the buyer for the deposit, which is an unwritten rule in the industry. Generally, regular customers don't have to ask for a deposit. Anyway, they are not afraid that they will not come to pick up the goods. But if the stranger is sure to have to deposit, afraid that no one will pick up the clothes, it will be equivalent to even the materials are smashed into their own hands.
"OK, Zhou Yan, can't you see that you still have this skill?"
"It's also practiced. If you look at it more, you'll see it."
