Chapter 238 Purchase
"Yes, what you need to make are these clothes. They are exactly the same and the same size. The price is as we agreed before, calculated by piece, 1 yuan per piece. The more you work, the more you earn. But the quality must be guaranteed. The payment will be made weekly. Today is Tuesday. I will come to pay you for this week next Monday. If there is no problem, I will leave now."
Don’t think that the courtyard is empty like you saw yesterday. Ye Qian secretly came here early in the morning and took out the things in the space without telling anyone, so the courtyard has already been arranged.
There are tables, chairs, sofas, kettles, quilts, scissors, needles and money, everything you can think of.
After Fu Shan and Ye Qian left, Fu Shan was still surprised: "Yesterday there was nothing, but today it is so complete."
"That's right, I'm doing things, so why do you need to worry about me?"
Things here had been arranged, so Ye Qian and Fu Shan went straight back to school.
Everyone was worried the whole day. After all, it was their first time starting a business, and they didn't know how it was going. It wasn't until school was over in the afternoon that Wang Qiong suggested, "Why don't we go take a look?"
Ye Qian nodded: "I think it's okay. This is only the first day. I want to see if my skills are good enough. If there are any mistakes, I can point them out directly to avoid making too many mistakes and making it difficult to correct them."
Fu Shan thought so too: "Then let's go now."
It's only 4:30 in the afternoon. If there is something going on at home, she should have gone back. If she wants to make more money, she should still be in the yard. Ye Qian had previously requested that clothes should not be taken home for making, because she was naturally afraid that her designs would be imitated.
The three of them took a bus directly there after leaving school. It was already 5 o'clock when they arrived there.
Everyone except Aunt Wang had gone home. Aunt Wang was sitting alone in the yard, sewing clothes with her eyes squinted. Ye Qian looked at her with distress and immediately walked over to her: "Aunt Wang, there's a light on inside. You'll hurt your eyes."
When Aunt Wang heard Ye Qian's voice, she immediately stood up and greeted her: "It's okay, this is to save electricity, I always do this when I'm at home."
Ye Qian didn't know what to say, so she asked about today's results: "How many pieces of clothing did everyone make today?"
Aunt Wang brought the three of them in, folded the finished clothes and placed them in a box on the side. She asked each aunt to tie a cloth strip on each piece of clothing. Each colored cloth strip represented the one made by the corresponding aunt. Although it was very troublesome, there was no other way. After all, there were limited things on hand and it was not easy to classify them.
Ye Qian asked Fu Shan to check it. After all, the sample clothes were made by Fu Shan herself. If there were any problems, she would definitely be able to see them if she looked carefully.
Aunt Wang had been keeping the three of them company during this time. Ye Qian asked Aunt Wang, "Aunt Wang, when are you planning to go back? It's getting late now, and you need to cook at home."
Aunt Wang nodded: "Yes, I plan to go back too."
Fu Shan was very quick and checked everything in a short while. After all, no one was as slow as a sewing machine. Each person only made one piece, and Aunt Wang had only just started on the second piece.
Ye Qian looked thoughtful at the clothes. Aunt Wang also packed up her things. The four of them walked out of the yard together. After saying goodbye to Aunt Wang, Ye Qian expressed her thoughts: "I don't think it's possible."
Wang Qiong was puzzled: "Why is it not working?"
Ye Qian explained: "Speed. I thought about hiring someone to make clothes, but without a sewing machine, the speed is simply impossible to improve. That's the problem. I can only make a few pieces a day, and how many can I make in a week?"
Ye Qian thought things were too simple and had not considered some of the problems at all. She was not young anymore, and this was the first time she acted like a little girl and made such a mistake. She was really driven by entrepreneurship in the wrong direction.
Fu Shan asked, "What should we do then?"
Ye Qian remembered that there was a particularly famous wholesale market in Han City in the future. It should have been opened by this era, and the market had not changed its location for decades. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be there. Tomorrow, it would be best to go and have a look tomorrow, as the goods would be moved in the morning.
Ye Qian told Fu Shan and Wang Qiong about her idea, and they both agreed: "Then let's set off early tomorrow morning. If possible, we can buy the goods tomorrow. I'll find two shelves, and we can set up a stall directly in front of the school tonight."
Do what you say, don't delay, otherwise it will be over.
The three of them returned to school, explained the matter to the other two, washed up and went to bed early. The next day, before dawn, Ye Qian woke them up.
Fortunately, Wang Qiong and Fu Shan did not get up early, otherwise it would have been noisy before dawn.
Liu Mei had heard the noise a long time ago. Although she was curious, she was not familiar with the people in the dormitory, so she would not ask even if she was curious. She listened carefully to their conversation until they left, but she did not hear any useful information.
The school is a bit far from the wholesale market, and it took 50 minutes by bus to reach the destination. After getting off the bus, Wang Qiong and Fu Shan were shocked by the scene in front of them. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a sea of people. Everyone was dragging big cloth bags, and it seemed that they were all doing business. Everyone spoke Mandarin that was not particularly authentic, and it was obvious that they came from various places to buy goods.
Ye Qian found it interesting that there was never a shortage of smart people in any era.
Ye Qian pulled the two of them in. Fu Shan asked, "They are all carrying big bags. How can we get in without bags if we want to buy goods?"
Ye Qian pulled out a large, folded bag from her messenger bag. "Do I need to remind you? I've already prepared it."
After that, he started purchasing goods early in the morning. There were many styles of clothing, of various types. To be honest, they were not worse than those designed by Ye Qian. After all, Ye Qian also designed according to the popular trends of that era in her memory.
What to look at when purchasing goods: style, quality and price.
After the three of them entered, Ye Qian instructed, "This is our first time buying goods, so don't be in a hurry. Compare prices from different stores."
After the three of them walked around for a long time, Ye Qian picked a store that had good styles and quality, but its prices were a little higher than other stores, so there were the fewest people there.
Ye Qian was about to go in and ask, but Fu Shan pulled Ye Qian back: "Sister Qian, this store has the least people. Are their clothes any good?"
Ye Qian explained: "But the clothes here are also the best, and the styles are also very good. If you don't look good with one piece alone, we can match them together when the time comes."
Fu Shan was puzzled: "Matching."
"Yeah, but I'll explain it to you in a minute."
Ye Qian walked in and took a quick look at the styles. The clothes on display were very complete. Summer was coming soon, and there were casual pants, jeans, long-sleeved shirts, short-sleeved shirts, and long skirts, so they were perfect for her.
After a while, Ye Qian took a fancy to several styles, and then asked the big brother beside her: "Big brother, how do I get these clothes?"
