The seven hundred and fifty-second chapter gives the second aunt again (1/3)
"Don't worry, your girl won't do things that don't have a brain!"
During the few days when Mei Xiaoran was waiting for the remittance at home, she went to visit relatives' homes. Now Siyi has worked well in the Economic and Trade Commission. She and Guoxia are cooperating in the office. Qi Yan can no longer make waves, and Siyi's father Cheng Bin has also made a lot of money by going out for sales in the past two years. , The days of their family are now flourishing.
The third aunt and the third uncle are still like that. The third uncle is still half-dead in the troupe. He is not very capable and has a good temper. That is to say, the third uncle is not very angry when he sees that the third aunt can make money now.
The second aunt and the second uncle are also busy with their own work. The second uncle works in the construction team, and the second aunt is still busy in the store. However, Er Yi’s main energy now is not to make clothes, but to sell pants. After all, there are more and more good-looking clothes on the market, and fewer and fewer people buy cloth and spend money to make clothes.
"Second aunt, I don't think you can leave the tailor's business."
"But now there are fewer and fewer people making clothes, and there is no more money for tailors."
"Second aunt, think about it, what else must be done?"
Li Mingqin thought for a while, but really didn't think of it.
"Second aunt, have you forgotten the sheets, quilt, and curtains?"
Mei Xiaoran reminded her: "These things must also be done. Although there are also sets now, the sets are expensive, and it is still cost-effective to make, and it is easier than making clothes."
This reminds Li Mingqin, why didn't she expect it
The clothing needs to be cut, but if you are making bed sheets and duvet covers, you only need to use the right size and pull the cloth. Sheets are relatively the simplest, the most is to lock the edges, not necessarily the edges. The quilt cover is a bit more complicated, but in fact it is just a zipper... and curtains, which are almost the same in nature.
"Oh Ranran, you are too smart, I didn't expect it."
Li Mingqin was also confused. During this period of time, the clothing business has not been good, so she sold it with pants. Before that, she thought that if it didn't work, she wouldn't make clothes anymore, so she sold the rest of the goods and sold pants exclusively. But when Ran Ran reminded her, she wanted to understand that the cotton cloth she put in,
It's not that you can only make clothes. Those beautiful flower shapes can be used as sheets and quilts.
"Second aunt, you are handy, and you sell cloths and other items that are not short in size. If you want to make bed sheets and curtains, you will definitely be able to do it."
Mei Xiaoran knew that when the economy developed, the tailor's business was indeed affected. But until later generations, there are still many cloth shops that rely on making bed sheets, drapes, curtains and the like to survive. That's because some objects have to be measured in person to make them. It will not be said that it is like clothing. A more uniform version and standard.
"Ran Ran, if you want to say this, I will buy the goods on the market when I look back. Our county hasn't said that it is a business that specializes in this business. It is all carried out by cloth shops. I have to make a unique one. Copies."
"That's definitely okay. You are still your own house. Even if others want to compete with you, they have no advantage."
Li Mingqin was so touched that she couldn't wait to buy the goods the next day, and immediately decided to go to Nanping to buy the goods now.
"Ran Ran, you go call Zhou Yan to me, let her see the store in the afternoon, and I will go into the cloth."
Of course, Mei Xiaoran went to Zhou Yan without saying a word.
When Zhou Yan came over, Li Mingqin had already gone to the station.
Anyway, Mei Xiaoran was also fine, so she stayed in the store to help in the afternoon.
July is the dog days. There are no shading trees in the trade market. They are all two-story buildings. The afternoon sun is shining harshly, and the fans are blowing hot wind.
In comparison, the Mingqin store is backlit, and it feels a little better, but the Mingyun store is really hot on the walls.
Mei Xiaoran came over to chat with Zhou Yan huddled behind the counter.
"Zhou Yan, you are in your junior year at the beginning of school, right?"
"Yeah, it flies so fast. Sister Ran Ran, you have graduated from your senior year. I heard my mother say that you plan to stay in the provincial capital and not come back?"
"It's mainly because Ouyang found him to be transferred to the provincial capital. I must be thinking about staying with him."
Speaking of Ouyang Xun, Mei Xiaoran felt really uncomfortable, after all, this time she was angry with Ouyang Xun before she ran out. After doing the math, I haven't seen Ouyang Xun for almost a month.
"The relationship between you two is really enviable."
Zhou Yan was jealous, she immediately
I'm in my junior year, and I've never been in a relationship.
"How can you be as good as you think, we will fight or something."
Mei Xiaoran sighed, "You tell me, we have not been in contact for almost a month."
"Ah? How could this happen? Aren't you two pretty good?"
"Don't mention it, we quarreled without discussing something about it before."
Mei Xiaoran didn't want to mention these annoying things, so she wanted to wait for her to return to the provincial capital to solve it. Now it's useless to say that these are not.
Zhou Yan persuaded her: "You two have been together for so many years. Didn't you say that you are going to get married? Why are you still angry?"
"We had this plan for the first two years... But even if I were to get married, I had to wait for my job to stabilize. You know that I'm waiting for the job to be assigned now."
"Sister, I hope you get together quickly."
"Yes, there is no big conflict between the two of us, just a little trouble."
Of course, Mei Xiaoran also took the opportunity to ask about Zhou Yan's study, life, and relationship status. Zhou Yan said that she did not fall in love, and it was the same as before.
"I feel like you have to find a boyfriend. You are not too young now. It's normal to fall in love."
Zhou Yan smiled embarrassedly.
Summer is the off-season for the clothing business, and it will not start until four or five o'clock in the afternoon.
The Mingyun store sold a few short-sleeved skirts, but the cloth store here was no one for a long time, and finally came to make clothes, that is, torn silk cloth, said to make summer gowns for children.
Said that Mei Xiaoran is good at business, she can't tear cloth and cut clothes.
I saw Zhou Yan coming over with a measuring tape, pulled the child over to measure the size, and calculated the fabric according to the child’s stature. She also opened a small ticket, saying that she was asked to pick it up the next day. clothes. The whole process was proficient and swift, which also made Mei Xiaoran somewhat admired. She really didn't know that Zhou Yan did so well in this regard.
Of course, Zhou Yan also asked the buyer for the deposit. This is an unwritten rule in the industry. Regular customers do not need to request deposits. Anyway, they are not afraid that regular customers will not come to pick up the goods. However, if you are a stranger, you must have a deposit, and you are afraid that no one will pick up the clothes, which is equivalent to smashing the original materials into your own hands.
"Okay, Zhou Yan, can't you see that you still have this hand?"
"This is also practiced, and you will see it too much."
