"Yes, this cell phone is really a great thing. It will be much more convenient for us to contact each other when we do business in the future," Lin Qing said with a smile. "By the way, Second Sister-in-law, when you're recruiting tomorrow, you don't need to put down what you're doing. Just set up a table next to your clothing store and hang up a banner that says you're recruiting."

“Your idea is good. I was thinking of not selling clothes tomorrow and hiring people first. Now that you've suggested it, I can do both at the same time.” Wang Sufeng nodded in agreement.

"If we hire people, how should we set their salaries?"

Wang Sufeng thought for a moment, then continued to ask.

"As for wages, I mean more work, more pay. It's a direct commission based on the complexity of the garment. You get a certain amount of commission for each garment you make."

Lin Qing had already thought about this issue. For the time being, they would calculate wages on a piece-rate basis. Later, when the scale was expanded, wages would be calculated on an hourly basis, and then they could do assembly line work.

"That works too. Let's discuss how much to pay for each piece of clothing!"

Wang Sufeng nodded, and then the two of them set prices for each garment based on its complexity.

"In the future, we will tidy up the front yard and use it as an office area and finished product warehouse. When we have more clothes, we can also do wholesale. The middle yard will be used as a processing area, and the back yard will be used as a rest room or to store fabrics."

After discussing the workers' wages, Lin Qing continued to add to the discussion.

"Yes, you're right, let's do it your way!"

Wang Sufeng nodded in agreement, and muttered to herself, "This sister-in-law's mind works too fast."

The two chatted for a while longer.

Wang Sufeng glanced at her watch and, seeing that it was getting late, said, "Then I'll go back and prepare for tomorrow's recruitment. You should go back early too, you have classes tomorrow."

"Okay, let's head back first! Call me if anything comes up."

After Lin Qing finished speaking, she and Wang Sufeng got up to go back.

"Wait a minute, I need to go to the back to get something!"

After Lin Qing finished speaking, she prepared to go to the backyard.

"Do you want me to go with you?"

Seeing that the backyard was completely dark, Wang Sufeng asked worriedly.

"Second sister-in-law, I'll go with Qingqing. You and second brother go and wait in the car first!"

Gu Nanxun handed the key to Lin Changyuan and said.

Lin Changyuan nodded and walked towards the front yard with Wang Sufeng.

Lin Qing and Gu Nanxun went to the backyard, found a room, and took out the goose down and duck down they had just bought on Taobao.

Then he took a small bag of seeds from his spatial storage and carried it in his hand.

"Let's go, Brother Nanxun!"

Gu Nanxun nodded and then pulled Lin Qing out of the courtyard.

"Gu Bei, why don't you pack up and move in here?"

Just before leaving, Lin Qing looked at Gu Bei and thought for a moment before saying something.

Gu Bei nodded. "Okay!"

"Qingqing, what are you holding in your hand?"

As soon as Lin Qing got into the car, Wang Sufeng noticed the small bag she was carrying and asked her about it.

"Seeds, does Second Sister-in-law need any?"

Lin Qing asked with a smile.

What kinds of seeds are there?

Wang Sufeng thought of the land in her backyard and asked about it.

"Spinach, bok choy, radish..."

Lin Qing said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes... If you have extra, share some with your second sister-in-law. If you don't have much, you don't need to give any to her. She can buy some at the seed shop in a few days!"

Wang Sufeng also said with a smile.

“There’s plenty! We can’t possibly plant them all. I’ll share some with my second sister-in-law.”

As Lin Qing spoke, she gave some of the seeds in her hand to Wang Sufeng.

...

"Go back to Peking University, or rest here?"

After Gu Nanxun took Lin Changyuan and the others home, he asked Lin Qing about it.

Lin Qing thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back to Peking University! I have an early class tomorrow, so I won't have to get up too early."

Gu Nanxun nodded upon hearing this.

...

The next morning, Lin Qing went to class, while Wang Sufeng posted a job advertisement at the entrance of the shop. Following Lin Qing's suggestion, she also set up a table next to her clothing store and hung a cloth with a message written in calligraphy: "Seeking workers to make and cut clothes for the fair."

Wang Sufeng came out relatively early, around the time when the women in her family were out buying groceries and breakfast. Seeing Wang Sufeng's banner, they couldn't help but go up and ask her about it.

"Young lady, is this your method for making clothes?"

A woman in her thirties glanced at the words on the banner, then stepped forward to ask a question. When the people around saw someone asking, they also gathered around.

"Yes, my method involves knowing how to make clothes, but the requirement is that you know how to use a sewing machine. Ma'am, do you have an idea?"

Wang Sufeng observed the older woman in front of her. Seeing that the woman's clothes were clean and tidy and her hair was neatly combed, she nodded to herself and then asked with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes... I'm best at making clothes, and so am I with my daughter. I've been teaching her to make clothes since she was little, and we both know how to use a sewing machine! I wonder how much you charge for making clothes, young lady!"

When the eldest sister heard Wang Sufeng say that she was indeed looking for someone who could make clothes, her eyes lit up. She didn't have any other skills, and making clothes was her only skill, so she couldn't wait to ask.

"We pay commission for making clothes here. The price is based on the complexity of the garment. A simple garment earns one yuan, while a more complex one earns more, ranging from one yuan to two yuan, three yuan, or even five yuan. You don't need to do the cutting; we have professional cutters. You just need to make the garments."

The older woman's eyes lit up when she heard this. She was a fast sewer, and even with complicated clothes, she could make three to five pieces a day. Even the smallest piece would earn her three to five yuan, and she could make more than ten yuan a month. With her daughter and herself, earning 30 yuan a month wouldn't be a problem.

"Can I sign up? My daughter and I are both good at making clothes."

The eldest sister asked impatiently.

"How old is your daughter?"

Wang Sufeng inquired.

"My daughter is 18 and just graduated this year."

The eldest sister said with a smile.

Okay, I'll register your names first. Come here at 9 a.m. tomorrow, and I'll take you to try out your skills. If you pass, I'll hire you.

As Wang Sufeng spoke, she registered her elder sister's name, her daughter's name, age, and address.

Do you have a telephone at home?

Wang Sufeng asked again.

The older sister scratched her head sheepishly, "I don't have a phone at home, but my parents' family does."

"Can I get in touch with you?"

Wang Sufeng thought for a moment, then asked again.

"Sure, sure, my family lives not far from me."

The older sister carefully rubbed her hands together and said nervously.

"Okay, then I'll write down your parents' phone number! Don't be nervous, I'm just writing it down in case I need to contact you."

“Okay, no problem! My parents’ phone number is…”

"Hey girl, do you think I'm good at making clothes?"

"Young lady, my daughter is also good at making clothes."

"Sister, my daughter-in-law is an excellent seamstress."

...

As soon as Wang Sufeng finished registering the older sister, the onlookers couldn't wait any longer and rushed to introduce her to Wang Sufeng.
