Su Jinyan got off the bus and found an empty place near his home. He took out the sack of cloth and dragged it home.
After walking just over a hundred meters, she met a kind-hearted woman who helped her drag the sack home on her bicycle.
It was already ten o'clock when I got home, and the two tailors were already waiting in the main room.
Seeing that Sun was accompanying them, she quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Hello, two aunts. I am Su Jinyan, Meijun's classmate."
Both women stood up quickly. The younger one, who was about thirty-six or thirty-seven years old, nodded gracefully and said with a smile, "Hello, my last name is Qi, and my name is Caifeng. You can just call me Aunt Qi."
The other one was more reserved, about forty-five or forty-six years old, "Hello, Comrade Su, my name is Liu Zhizhi, you can just call me Aunt Liu."
"Please take a seat, aunties. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
"The main reason I came here today is to let you two try your hand. If it works, we will officially start work tomorrow. Is that okay with you guys?"
The two of them nodded quickly, "I can."
"So can I."
Su Jinyan sat on the sofa and said, "Aunts, whether we do it or not, I like to speak up front."
"The styles of clothes here are all new styles from Yangcheng, Shanghai, so when you make them here, you must not reveal the styles to others, let alone make them for others in private. Of course, if your family likes something, I can only charge you for the fabric. Do you agree?"
Qi Caifeng nodded carefully, "Of course, I've been a tailor for more than 20 years, so I know this professional ethics."
Liu Zhizhi also quickly said, "Comrade Su, don't worry, if you don't allow me to teach others, I won't teach them."
Su Jinyan knew that there was no trademark right in this day and age, and it would probably take three or four years or even longer to unify the trademark.
Now she can only restrict it verbally and on paper, which has no legal effect.
"Well, okay, there is one more thing. There are two ways to pay your salary. Listen to them."
"The first one is to open it on a daily basis, one dollar a day. If the performance is good, I will give you a bonus, and there will also be benefits during the New Year and other holidays."
After hearing the first one, Liu Zhizhi's eyes lit up. She had originally planned to just contribute a little to the family expenses, but she didn't expect it to be so much.
Thirty yuan a month! That’s more than many workers in the textile factory make!
Qi Caifeng just nodded slightly, appearing very calm.
"The second type is a basic salary of five yuan per month, and then it is calculated by piece. For each piece of clothing you make, you will be paid according to the difficulty. For example, a more complicated coat, shirt or skirt will cost 15 cents, and a pair of pants will cost 10 cents."
She asked Chen Meijun and learned that a tailor with quick hands and feet could easily make twenty or thirty pieces in eight hours.
After hearing Su Jinyan's words, both of them began to think.
After a long while, Qi Caifeng said, "If the benefits are not good, is it possible that we can't work for more than 30 days a month?"
Su Jinyan nodded, "Well, if we want to have a long-term relationship, I must make it clear. If the performance is not good, my clothes cannot be sold, and there is a lot of inventory, there will definitely be rest days, and there will be no salary on rest days."
"If you are paid by piece, then you have more freedom in your time. As long as it does not interfere with sales, you can decide your working hours. Of course, if the benefits are good, I hope you will work hard and work overtime. Of course, the more you do, the more you earn. You can think about it first. I will go find some clothing samples."
After Su Jinyan finished speaking, he stood up and walked into the west room.
At this time, Sun was confused, but shocked in her heart.
Her wife is so amazing. What's wrong with her brain? If it were her, she wouldn't even dare to think about it.
But when I think about it, if two people each pay one dollar a day, that would be sixty dollars a month!
As for the second option, she thought that only a fool would agree to it. Five dollars a month, and at most three pieces of clothing a day, how much money could she make?
Su Jinyan entered the west room and took out an A-line wide striped dress, a doll collar, puff sleeves, waisted floral fake two-piece lazy skirt from the cupboard, a pair of straight pants, a puff sleeve shirt with a wide top and a waisted bottom, a khaki autumn long trench coat, a light blue casual suit, and finally a white short-sleeved top that showed off her figure.
The short-sleeved shirt is not worth much, so she plans to use it as a welfare item.
At first, she only planned to make women's clothing.
There is another thing that is quite troublesome. In this era, there are no plastic bags, and the clothes we make cannot be packed one by one.
She carried a pile of clothes out of the living room, put them on the sofa, and said with a smile: "Aunt Qi, Aunt Liu, what do you think?"
Qi Caifeng said: "We both want to use the second method, which gives us more time."
Su Jinyan smiled, it seems that they are all smart people, "See if you can make these clothes. The pants and short sleeves are 1 cent each, and the rest are 15 cents each."
If business is good in the future, they can stay and raise the price.
The two picked up the clothes and looked at them one by one. Qi Caifeng nodded and said, "It's all right. It's not very complicated."
It was very simple for her, but Qi Caifeng never liked to make promises.
Liu Zhizhi smiled shyly, "I have never made such complicated shirts and skirts, but they look doable, so I want to give it a try."
Su Jinyan smiled and nodded, "Okay, you try it first. If you can't do it right the first time, try it twice. I'm a very easy person to talk to. I'm always trying in the early stages. I'm not afraid of waste. Once you're skilled, it will be fine."
Both of them liked Su Jinyan's personality, so they smiled and nodded and started to make clothes.
Only then did Su Jinyan remember that she had nothing except a sewing machine and cloth.
She smiled sheepishly, "Look at my memory. I don't make clothes myself. I don't even have the tools to make clothes. I have nothing except a sewing machine. Why don't you accompany me to buy the things I need? You buy whatever you need and I'll pay."
The two were also amused by Su Jinyan and nodded with a smile, "Okay, then let's go buy them now and try to make them before dark."
Su Jinyan thought there was no need to be so anxious, but he just smiled and said nothing. After drinking a large glass of water, he said hello to Sun and took the two of them out.
