Chapter 348 Something New
Shen Yueyao also knew that everyone was confused, but seeing that everyone was still looking at her with trusting eyes, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.
It feels good to be trusted by others without reservation.
Shen Yueyao showed a gentle smile on her face and explained softly: "I will demonstrate it to you all, and you will know it in a while. Of course, everyone will follow me and learn."
"Oh, and here are these needles. Each of you should take two and use them to knit clothes."
Everyone took the needle that Shen Yueyao handed out. Seeing that it was so long and thick compared to the needles used for sewing clothes, everyone couldn't imagine how clothes could be made with it.
But Shen Yueyao can teach.
In this way, Shen Yueyao spent the whole morning teaching everyone how to make wool into yarn and how to knit clothes.
Afraid that everyone would not be able to remember, Shen Yueyao did not teach too many complicated knitting methods.
Because of some complicated knitting methods, different patterns can be knitted on sweaters.
Now no one knows how to do it, and if they learn too much at once, Shen Yueyao is worried that they won’t be able to remember it.
So I just taught the simple weaving method.
Everyone was a little bit incredulous when they saw the yarn being made into a ball.
They had never seen such a thick thread before.
In the past, some people wove cloth at home using looms, but the threads used in the looms were very thin.
But the wool in front of me is very thick.
Although the wool is thick, when people touch it with their hands, they feel that it is softer, more comfortable and warmer than ordinary yarn.
Then I saw the boss moving two needles quickly and actually weaving a piece of cloth in one go.
No, it's not cloth to be exact, but a piece of woolen material that is coarser and warmer than cloth.
Shen Yueyao knitted a part of the scarf and said: "Did you see it? Just knit like this, you can knit scarves, hats, sweaters, trousers, gloves, socks, etc. You can knit anything."
"The denser the weave, the warmer it is."
"With a scarf like this, when you go out in winter, you can put it on and keep your neck warmer. You don't have to worry about the wind and snow blowing into your neck..."
"This is worn next to the body, and it brings warmth no matter when you wear it."
"This is a simple scarf knitting method. When knitting clothes, the method for connecting the sleeves is different..."
Shen Yueyao will weave it for everyone to see first.
After a while, Shen Yueyao asked the ten people watching to take their knitting needles and learn together.
"Everyone try to knit by themselves. It doesn't matter if you start slowly. It's easy to learn. Once you learn it, you can knit a little at a time."
"Knitting sweaters is different from making clothes on an assembly line. Commissions are paid based on piecework. The more you knit, the more bonuses you get."
Knitting sweaters, pants and scarves cannot be done on an assembly line.
We can only encourage everyone to weave more, so that we can improve efficiency.
"How do I do this? It looks simple, but why do I become clumsy when I do it myself?"
The woman who was speaking was very good at embroidery and had very skillful hands. I thought knitting would be easy to learn, but I didn't expect that I didn't know how to do it.
She was anxious just watching it.
She just heard from her boss that the more she knits, the higher the commission she will get.
She thought she must learn it quickly and knit more.
The boss is kind and generous. As long as you work hard, diligently and efficiently, and follow the rules, he will promote you to be a manager when he opens another workshop.
The salary and bonus for managers are much higher than those for ordinary employees.
Everyone wants to be a manager and be valued by the boss.
Shen Yueyao looked at her, reached over and extended her hand to guide her, saying: "Use the needle like this, hook your fingers like this, right, right, just like this. Look, if you do this, weave this side to this side, and the layers will accumulate..."
"If you don't know how to do it, please ask me now. I can teach you now. Once you've learned, you can divide into groups and teach the next person..."
If anyone doesn’t know something, they will ask, and Shen Yueyao will patiently guide and teach them.
If you don’t understand something after teaching it once, teach it twice. If you don’t understand something after teaching it twice, teach it three times.
Make sure everyone can learn it.
In this way, for three consecutive days, Shen Yueyao was busy in the embroidery workshop.
She not only taught everyone how to knit sweaters, trousers, scarves, hats, socks, gloves, etc., but also taught everyone how to make snow boots.
"Snow boots have heels so they don't get soaked easily when walking in the snow. The soles must be non-slip..."
Shen Yueyao has been busy in the embroidery workshop for several days in a row.
After being busy for a while, Shen Yueyao asked Geng about how everyone in the embroidery workshop was doing recently.
Geng said, "That's all very good, but my lord, if this continues, the quantity of ready-made clothes and bags will decrease. Many merchants are waiting to buy ready-made clothes and bags from our workshop."
Previously, Shen Yueyao opened a Jinxiu store in the town, which sold clothes, accessories and bags.
Because the styles are good and there are different sizes, people can buy clothes in the right size according to their numbers. In addition, the clothes are so beautiful, so many people buy them.
Some businessmen saw the business opportunity and bought a lot of clothes directly from their store and opened stores elsewhere to sell them.
Before Shen Yueyao signed the contract with everyone, she had to explain that these clothes must have a brand. Of course, the clothes were also embroidered with patterns, just like the brands of lipstick and facial cream.
This is also to make everyone recognize their brand when buying things in the future.
Although there is no patent protection in this era, Shen Yueyao is not worried.
The patterns she had embroidered on the clothes were double-sided embroidery, which is not easy to imitate.
When Shen Yueyao heard this, she was also stunned.
Yes, although we have opened two large embroidery workshops, we make a lot of things and many merchants come to place orders in advance, but these things are still not enough, and we still need to continue to expand the scale.
But now it is winter, and after entering the twelfth lunar month, it will be time for everyone to have the New Year holiday.
Even if we open a large workshop now, it is not cost-effective.
Because during the New Year holiday, Shen Yueyao also has to calculate everyone's wages.
We can’t just say that we won’t pay everyone just because we have a one-month holiday during the Chinese New Year.
Shen Yueyao thought for a while and said, "Let's do this for now. We'll open a workshop after the New Year."
If I open another workshop at that time, I will also be busy.
Moreover, with the arrival of spring, Su Xueyi will also go to the capital to take part in the Spring Examination.
Geng nodded and said, "Yes!"
Within a few days, the embroidery shops in the county town and the commercial streets in the village all stocked new woolen products such as sweaters, trousers, scarves, socks, hats, gloves, etc.
The ladies who came to stroll around were all curious about the latest items in the store.
"Hey, what is this, clothes?"
"Ah, this is a hat. It looks really different. Let me try it on and see."
No one had ever seen anything like this before. When they saw it in the store, they all thought it was novel and tried it on.
"Don't mention it, it's light and warm to wear. What kind of fabric is this made of? I've never seen it before."
"And this dress, is this a dress?"
"There's no way I can wear this. I can't wear it outside."
The shop assistants had all been trained and explained with a smile, "This is made of wool. It's not meant to be worn outside, but underneath. It's warm. You can wear a sweater and trousers underneath. It's warm and not bulky. Madam, you can try it on and see how it feels..."
