"These are your clothes, look! By the way, after your clothes were made, there were still some scraps left, so I made them into socks for you. Absolutely no fabric was wasted!" Master Wei said sincerely.
Li Jinfeng took out the clothes from the brown paper bag and checked them, finding nothing wrong.
The clothes made are even more delicate in every corner.
It’s totally in line with its own brand.
Then there were the socks, six pairs in all: four for adults, one for children, and one for babies.
It was just as Master Wei said, not a single bit of fabric was wasted.
Li Jinfeng had a little more respect for the master in front of her. Such honest businessmen as him were almost extinct.
It can definitely be regarded as a role model in the industry.
"Thank you, master. How much are these socks and brown paper bags? I'll pay you extra!" said Li Jinfeng.
"What are you paying for? You've already paid me for my wages! How can I ask you for more money?" Master Wei shook his head.
This is his rule when making clothes. He will not be greedy for even a little bit of the customer's fabric. Any excess, even if it is made into a thin rope for tying things, will be returned to the customer.
Li Jinfeng knew the old tailor's temper in a few words and no longer insisted. She asked, "Master, do you have any ready-made clothes here?"
"Ready-made clothes?"
"It's for a kid, he's wearing it!" Li Jinfeng pointed at Zhang Xiaobao.
"Yes, we do, but the price is not cheap," said Master Wei.
In the county town, cotton cloth costs 60 cents a foot.
Zhang Xiaobao's set of clothes was about four to five feet long, and it cost him three dollars just to buy the cloth to make the clothes.
There were also wages and cloth coupons to be calculated, so there was a reason why people of that era couldn't afford new clothes.
"If you have any, give me one!" said Li Jinfeng.
Zhang Xiaobao, who was standing by, heard that Li Jinfeng wanted to buy him some clothes and quickly reached out to pull at her sleeve. "Sister Jinfeng, I don't want any! You gave me and grandma twenty feet of cloth, which is enough for us to make several sets of clothes!"
"It's okay. I earned some money when I went to the provincial capital last time. I may not be able to afford other things, but I still have enough money to buy you a few sets of clothes!" said Li Jinfeng.
"No!" Zhang Xiaobao used all his strength to pull Li Jinfeng out of the tailor shop.
Li Jinfeng quickly winked at the old tailor, asking him to go in and get the clothes.
The old tailor went into the next room and came out with a new suit of clothes.
At this time, Zhang Xiaobao was about to pull Li Jinfeng out of the tailor shop.
"Xiaobao, let's try it on first to see if it fits. We don't necessarily have to buy it, but just try it on!" Li Jinfeng coaxed the stubborn child with good patience.
"No! No, I don't want to do that even if you kill me." Zhang Xiaobao refused firmly.
He knew Li Jinfeng, so after giving it a try, he would definitely buy it!
He couldn't let Sister Jinfeng spend a penny on him anymore.
Li Jinfeng looked helpless. She sighed and said, "How about this? You help me carry the packages at the post office later. The clothes will be my reward!"
Zhang Xiaobao shook his head and was about to say something when Li Jinfeng added, "I'm getting married, and there will definitely be a lot of things to do at home. I need help. Can you help me with more chores? Or, when you have money, buy me some nice clothes?"
Zhang Xiaobao didn't say anything.
Li Jinfeng pretended to be angry and said, "Forget it. When you make money in the future, I won't accept anything you buy me!"
"Sister Jinfeng, I..."
