Chapter 85 Going to the Garbage Station

Wang Xiaomei and Song Anan have the same idea.

It was the first time she felt that money was so easy to earn.

This is just the beginning. If I sell more in the future, I will probably make more.

Cooperating with Song Anan is a win-win situation, both of them can make money.

After collecting the money and things, Wang Xiaomei looked at Song Anan and noticed the changes in her today.

The first few times Song Anan came over, she was dressed rather rustically.

But looking at it now, it doesn't look rustic at all.

The fine shirt she wore made her look more beautiful than a flower.

Sure enough, women have to dress up.

Dressing up and not dressing up are two completely different looks.

Seeing that Song Anan was wearing fancy clothes, Wang Xiaomei wanted to ask her where she bought the clothes, but they were so fancy.

But when I look at the fabric of her clothes, isn't it the defective fabric that I bought from myself?

So it’s not about buying ready-made clothes, but making them with fabrics.

So Wang Xiaomei asked Song Anan, "Sister, who made the shirt you are wearing? It's really hard to make one. Can you introduce someone to me? I want to make two too."

This dress is even better than the ones she bought in the department store here.

Song Anan didn't expect Wang Xiaomei to ask this.

So he said, "I didn't ask a tailor to make it, but my sister-in-law from my husband's family helped me make it."

After hearing this, Wang Xiaomei nodded, with a hint of regret in her eyes.

Since it was Song Anan's sister-in-law from her husband's family who was helping to cook, Wang Xiaomei naturally didn't need to ask anyone else for help.

Song Anan noticed Wang Xiaomei's disappointment and said, "Comrade Xiaomei, if you like it, I'll ask my sister-in-law to make two for you.

We are of similar body shape, and you are not much fatter than me. Just do as I do, and it will be fine if you make it a little looser."

Wang Xiaomei didn't refuse when she heard this, and quickly said, "If your sister-in-law can help me, I will pay her, and I definitely won't let her help for free.

The tailor shop charges five dollars for a set of clothes. She made two sets for me and I paid her ten dollars. Please ask her if she is happy with it."

In a tailor shop, a set of clothes costs about three to five dollars.

Wang Xiaomei was willing to pay five dollars, mainly because she saw how well the clothes looked on Song Anan.

To achieve such an effect, five dollars is not a high wage.

In any case, it is more cost-effective to make clothes than to buy ready-made clothes.

The fabric needed to make a shirt costs about five to seven dollars.

Including the labor cost of making the clothes, it’s only about ten dollars.

But the price of ready-made clothes is more than ten yuan per piece.

If you calculate it this way, you can save at least a few dollars by making your own clothes instead of buying ready-made clothes.

Song Anan felt that Wang Xiaomei's labor fee was already very high.

If her third sister-in-law knew about this, she would be so happy that she would definitely not refuse.

“Okay, I think that should be fine.”

"Then, I'll get you two pieces of cloth to take back."

"T!"

Wang Xiaomei picked out two pieces of polyester fabric, both of which were defective, but it would not affect them if they were made into ready-made clothes.

Compared to buying clothes in department stores, it is more cost-effective for her to make clothes with defective products from the workplace.

Therefore, in this era of food and clothing shortage, the female workers in the textile factories never had to worry about having new clothes to wear.

Before Song Anan left, she thought about it and decided to pre-order a batch of goods for Wang Xiaomei.

There were ten silk scarves, five watches, and thirty small jewellery items such as hairpins.

So all in all, it’s a big bag of stuff.
