That night, Liang Yuxiu came with a small notebook and held a small meeting with Jiang Nian.
Liang Yuxiu had found the two helpers she was looking for. One was her other sister-in-law in the compound, who lived next door to Liang Yuxiu's house. Her family also made sewing machines. She had learned how to make clothes from her. The two had a good relationship and were quite familiar with each other.
In just ten days, she can earn ten dollars, which is almost as much as the salary of senior employees in the factory. My sister-in-law is so happy.
The other helper was not from the compound, but a sister-in-law who lived in the arsenal dormitory. The sister-in-law was Liang Yuxiu's fellow villager, and the two knew each other well and had a fellow-townsman friendship.
Now that Liang Yuxiu has finally been able to make money, she also thinks of her fellow townsman, so she reserved a spot for her.
The other party's skills are good, but it's a little troublesome. He has to move the sewing machine from home and run back and forth every day. But when you think about the ten dollars, these are not problems.
The real difficulty lies in the fact that making clothes is not simple sewing, such as trimming the edges, adding sleeves... These parts require delicate operations and are difficult, and people of average skills cannot do them well.
Liang Yuxiu was aware of the level of her two helpers. It would be difficult to ask them to make a whole shirt alone, and they might make mistakes.
If you do it wrong, you will not only waste time, but also waste fabrics, and may even delay the delivery of goods.
Liang Yuxiu came from a cotton mill and had always had high standards for her work. This time, Jiang Nian had helped her take the order, and she couldn't let Jiang Nian down. She also hoped to make these twenty shirts perfect so that Zheng Meiyan would accept them all.
Liang Yuxiu was worried about this and thought of a solution.
"They are both good at what they do and have good learning abilities. If I teach them over two days, they will definitely be able to learn. During this time..."
During these two days, Liang Yuxiu had to focus on teaching, so she would not be able to finish the homework she was supposed to do.
So I am worried about everything.
After weighing the pros and cons, Liang Yuxiu said, "Sister Nian, why don't I hire another person? With more people, it will be faster and we can deliver the goods on time."
If there are more people, it will cost ten dollars more.
It was not worth the money.
Jiang Nian said, "No need to hire anyone, no need to spend extra money. It's not a big deal."
Liang Yuxiu asked Jiang Nian about the problem that had been troubling her, but she looked relaxed and had a happy smile.
She only listened to half of what Liang Yuxiu said, and she already had an idea in her mind, "Sister Yuxiu, we can use the production line."
"Production line?"
After all, Liang Yuxiu worked in a plastic factory and was familiar with these three words.
She just lacked an overall understanding of the concept.
Jiang Nian said carefully, "The three of you are a production line. You can divide the general process of making shirts into steps. Then divide these steps into simple, medium, and difficult. Assign the simple part to one person, the medium part to another person, and you will do the most difficult part. This way, we can distribute according to everyone's level and save teaching time. Everyone can do the part they are good at."
Liang Yuxiu was stunned when she heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, it was as if she had suddenly been enlightened.
"That's right! It's the same in our factory, everyone does a certain job! Sister Nian, your idea is good, I will do as you say, and arrange it right away when I get back."
Despite the difficulties, Liang Yuxiu did not forget to thank Jiang Nian repeatedly. She asked Jiang Nian whether this matter could be told to others.
The main thing is that now that she has found help, she might not be able to keep it secret in the future.
Jiang Nian thought for a moment and said, "Don't tell them for now. It's best not to show off your wealth. If it takes too long, they will naturally know it if they really can't hide it anymore."
She had another half sentence in her mind. It was already 1977, and the day when a more important national decision would be made was not far away.
At that time, the domestic market economic environment will undergo major changes, and it will be common for ordinary people to do small business.
Just hold on a little longer and wait for that day to come.
Liang Yuxiu listened carefully to Jiang Nian's words and took notes seriously. She smiled gratefully at Jiang Nian, then opened the door and walked out.
