Chapter 218 Jiang Min Returns Home

Luan Ying came and left in a hurry, and there was still a pile of things at home that she couldn't leave behind.

Wan Feng promised to deliver the clothes personally after they were finished.

Including her master, Luan Feng now has five outsourced processing points and four sewing machines at home.

Those resistance clothing are almost all outsourced. After they make the finished clothes, they take them back and outsource them to the women in various villages who work here for the final processing.

If there are any outsourced people who know how to cut, we will outsource the cutting to them.

Although tailoring pays less, it also takes less time. Comparing the time, tailoring can even make a little more money than making clothes.

This not only greatly improved efficiency but also completely liberated Luan Feng and Jiang Min, allowing them to free up their hands to deal with higher-end clothing.

Wan Feng started designing clothes again.

The wives of these officials had made their first fortune, but they still had husbands to look after! Their husbands were all influential figures in Hongya County, so of course they had to dress respectably.

In the 1980s, men's clothing was almost all the same, either with four pockets or a Zhongshan suit.

As the times develop, clothing also changes. Four pockets and Zhongshan suits can no longer meet the needs of men.

At least that's what Wan Feng thinks. Let's start the change in men's clothing with him.

Thus, a suit was born under Wan Feng's pen.

At that time, except for international cities like the capital and Shanghai, and Guangzhou in the south, there were no suits in northern counties like Hongya.

Probably, except for those buyers who travel all over the country, the rest of the people have never even seen a suit.

Wan Feng has set a precedent in Hongya County.

This first suit was of course made for Zhou Bingde. As the captain of the largest construction company in Hongya, he was basically at the same level as the general manager in later generations and was fully qualified to wear one when appearing.

This suit is like a hook destined to catch a batch of big fish.

This suit might as well be called Big Fish brand, and those who buy this suit are big fish in Wan Feng’s eyes.

Wan Feng laughed.

In the years that followed, the Big Fish brand of suits actually made a name for themselves and became a national brand. However, no one knew why the person who created this brand chose such a tacky name as Big Fish as the logo of the clothing.

Making a suit is much more difficult than making ordinary clothes, mainly because of the collar. If the collar is not well made, it will be a failed suit.

The collar of a suit should be symmetrical, with beautiful lines, well-placed lapels, and no wrinkles.

This involves a series of procedures such as pasting, sewing, and ironing, which is very cumbersome.

With such complicated production requirements, would you feel comfortable offering less money?

Wan Feng initially priced it at twenty to thirty yuan per set. As for the specific selling price, it depends on market demand and his mood.

Jiang Min has been with Luan Feng for more than ten years. Although she never mentioned it, Wan Feng knew that she must be missing home.

Wan Feng knew how much work she had done in the past ten miles. This girl had paid off a debt of thirty yuan for her family in the past ten miles. She was really working hard.

They should relax. People can't always be tense. Even though they are young, they can't hurt their bodies like this.

After returning from Gushan to get clothes, Wan Feng announced, "Tomorrow is the day off. Jiang Min should go home and visit her family. Luan Feng should also go out and relax. Don't get sick from staying cooped up in the house for a while."

Luan Feng jumped up like a monkey, pulling Jiang Min and jumping in the middle of the ground.

Jiang Min didn't want to jump at first, but she had no choice but to jump in the end.

"Bah! You two bastards kicked up all the dust on the ground." The two women working here scolded and spat at the two crazy guys.

"You don't need to come tomorrow, just take a rest tomorrow.

The two women packed up and went back. They had been working for Luan Feng for a week. They earned more than five dollars every night from Luan Feng's bills. They boasted that their status at home had risen sharply.

They only earned five dollars a week, including the one dollar and forty cents for wear and tear on the sewing machine, which showed that they were really not well off.

With just this half bottle of water, Wan Feng wouldn't make more than fifty cents. Once Zhu Yan and Jiang Xue become apprentices, I guarantee they will be several times stronger than them.

Wan Feng went to several houses in Wahou Team before buying a hundred eggs, which he put in a basket filled with crushed corn stalks.

The next morning, the two beauties, dressed in new clothes, and Wan Feng boarded Yang Hong's tractor.

Luan Feng took apart the patched clothes that Jiang Min wore when she came, and asked Jiang Min to find a style and make a new set of clothes by herself.

Jiang Min made a pair of gray pants and a white long-sleeved coat, which was quite ordinary and there was nothing new about it.

The dress she made made Luan Feng laugh at her three times. The dress she made was just right for her mother, which made Jiang Min very angry.

After taking a tractor to the county town and getting off at the designated place, Wan Feng and Xin Li delivered the goods.

Xin Li's business has been booming recently. The slimming pants she sells are finally worn on the street by some people, and they have become popular in a very short time. Wan Feng always gives her no less than twenty pairs of pants, and they are almost sold out on the same day.

As for children's clothing, Wanfeng has already started reducing shipments, as the school term is only a few days away. Even if some parents do buy after school starts, it's a minority. Wanfeng is preparing to start shipping adult clothing.

Xia Qiulong became jealous when Xin Li earned a dozen yuan. Recently, he only went to the construction site for a symbolic visit, and then followed his wife around selling clothes. Of course, he was only responsible for protecting Xin Li, and the rest of the things were done by Xin Li alone.

After the handover was completed, Wan Feng came to Jiang Min's house carrying a basket of eggs.

"Sister is back!" Jiang Min's younger brother shouted as he entered the yard.

"Where's Dad?" Jiang Min panicked when he entered the room and didn't see anyone lying on the kang.

"Dad went out for a walk." Her brother answered and went to play with the mud.

Jiang Min was completely bewildered: "Her dad went out for a stroll? How is that possible?"

Wan Feng just stood there smiling mysteriously without saying a word.

"Sister Min, isn't your dad's leg in trouble? Why would he go out for a walk?" Luan Feng also looked confused.

Just when the two of them didn't understand what was going on, a strange noise was heard outside the yard, and then a strange car drove into Jiang Min's yard.

Jiang Hongguo walked into the yard sweating profusely, and was surprised to see Wan Feng and others.

"Hey! Wan, Min'er, when did you guys come?"

Jiang Min was even more confused when he saw his father coming back sitting on such a thing.

"Dad, where did you get this thing?"

"He sent it." Jiang Min's brother finally did his job and betrayed Wan Feng.
