A standard pair of trousers normally requires one meter of fabric, but tall people may need more than this size.
The cost of Wan Feng's fabrics had been calculated last time, and it was about 1.4 cents per foot. The normal fabric cost for a pair of pants was 42.3 cents, plus 30 cents for cutting and processing and other expenses, the cost of a pair of pants came out to be 80 cents.
The cost of children's clothes is roughly the same, but because clothes are a little more troublesome to sew than pants, a processing fee of 1 cent is added, so the cost of a piece of clothing is 9 cents.
This is how Wanfeng calculates the cost of these clothes.
Most of these finished pants are women's pants with the opening on the right, and a few are men's pants.
In fact, Wan Feng originally wanted to suggest that Luan Feng cut women's pants a little thinner so as to show the beautiful curves of women's buttocks. However, he then thought that the society was still fighting against the buttocks at that time. In the 1980s, even a few years later, bell-bottom jeans were criticized for being too skinny and sticking to the buttocks, so he gave up the idea.
"Oh, I almost forgot something important. I promised to give him a set of clothes. I'll draw a pattern and you can make it."
Wan Feng introduced the painting while painting: "The color should be dark red, we have this one, and the collar should be round..."
"Wait!" It seems that Luan Feng's habit of interrupting is impossible to change.
"I remember the clothes I made for your grandma last time also had round necks. Why are they all round necks?"
"Do you think other collars look good on middle-aged women?"
Luan Feng was dissatisfied: "My mother has never worn round-necked clothes, and I think they look good too."
Can this be the same?
"This woman is the wife of a construction leader. How can she be compared to a peasant? She's a person of status, too. Listen carefully and don't interrupt me. Hem the collar with a black border, and nip the waist a little. Embroider three patterns on the chest, heart, and abdomen—round or diamond-shaped will do. Make sure the two fronts are neatly arranged, and don't button them so the patterns are asymmetrical. Embroider two light-colored lace stripes on the cuffs. The patterns should be simple and bright."
Wan Feng thought about it again and felt that there was nothing more to say. "Just like this, match it with a pair of black pants. Eh? Where's the size?"
Wan Feng rummaged through his pockets for a while before finally pulling out a piece of paper and handing it to Luan Feng: "Do your best. They belong to a prestigious circle. If the market opens up, each of their clothes will be very valuable. At the very least, one piece of their clothing will be worth three of yours."
Luan Feng's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Fake!" Wan Feng replied unhappily.
Luan Feng rolled her eyes.
Luan Feng and Jiang Min still had to make a few more pieces of clothing, so Wan Feng decided to come and pick them up tomorrow morning.
Wan Feng didn't know how long Luan Feng and Jiang Min were busy at night. Anyway, when he went to Luan Feng's house to get the clothes in the morning, this guy hadn't gotten up yet. He and Jiang Min were lying on the kang with their clothes on, like two cats.
Wan Feng signaled to Luan Feng's mother not to wake them up, and just quietly took out the shoulder bag that was already filled with clothes.
But as soon as he reached the door, Luan Feng chased out.
"What are you doing out here? Stay home and sleep for a while."
"I've slept well. I've packed all my clothes and pants. There are ten sets of clothes and eighteen pairs of pants."
"How long were you two up to last night?"
"It's almost twelve o'clock."
Wan Feng's face turned black: "From now on, you are not allowed to work past ten o'clock at night. Didn't I tell you that women can't stay up late? Why can't you stop thinking?"
Luan Feng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll remember this. A man is really nagging."
Yang Hong drove a tractor loaded with red bricks from the brick factory and picked up Wan Feng in front of Luan Feng's house.
An hour later, Wan Feng got off the car at the residential area where Xia Qiulong lived.
He came to Xia's house carrying a shoulder bag.
A big backpack filled with more than a dozen pairs of pants and ten pieces of clothes was quite heavy. By the time I arrived at Xia Qiulong's house, I was already sweating.
Mrs. Xia laughed when she saw Wan Feng coming in with a big bag on his back: "I thought you were a beggar. What are you carrying? It looks very heavy."
"Clothes, didn't I promise to let you sell them? Now I've got them. Take a look at the workmanship and style first."
After entering the house, Wan Feng took out the clothes and pants from the bag one by one.
"Is this made of the processed fabrics you bought from our factory?" Xin Li's eyes sparkled as she asked while looking through the workmanship of the clothes.
Wan Feng nodded.
"It's really good! I didn't expect that cloth could be made into such clothes. Especially these children's clothes are so beautiful and well made. You can tell from the edges that the makers put a lot of effort into making them. These clothes should be able to be sold, but I don't know how to sell them. How can I sell them?"
"I'll take you there today, and you can just watch and study." This is not a problem.
"How much do these pants and clothes cost?"
"Two dollars apiece."
"Two dollars?" Mrs. Xia was a little unconvinced.
Nowadays, people buy their own cloth and have it made at a garment shop. Cloth in the shop is usually 40 to 50 cents a foot, and with the cloth coupons, it usually costs 5 to 6 cents a foot. A pair of pants with three feet of cloth costs almost two yuan, and there is also the processing fee.
It is much more expensive to make a pair of trousers in a ready-made clothing store in the city than in the countryside. The processing fee is 60 cents.
A pair of pants like this costs more than two yuan to make, and you also waste a lot of time.
No matter how you look at it, buying Wanfeng's clothes is very suitable.
"Then where can I sell it?"
"Of course, you should find a crowded place, such as a store entrance, a market entrance, or a factory entrance after work. But this thing is not very safe. If you are not careful, someone will take action. It is best to let Brother Xia accompany you to sell it at the beginning. At least his name will have some influence."
Mrs. Xia tidied up the house and found a backpack.
Wan Feng divided the clothes into two halves and packed them into two bags. It was really too much for him to carry them all by himself. It was okay if he could just walk, but if something unexpected happened, he wouldn't be able to run away.
After packing up, Mrs. Xia said goodbye to her mother-in-law and left the house.
After going out, the two of them walked north and arrived at the entrance of the second department store.
It is around 12:30 in the morning. At this time, there are probably more people in front of the department store. Even the vegetable market is not crowded.
"Stay a little further away from me, just watch me sell and concentrate on learning."
Mrs. Xia nodded and stood under a tree three or four meters behind Wan Feng, like a person strolling on the street.
Wan Feng stood by the roadside, took out a pair of women's pants from his bag, and held it in his hand. When a woman passed by, he asked in a low voice, "Sister, do you want some pants? Two yuan a pair."
The woman seemed to be frightened by Wan Feng. She glanced at Wan Feng and the pants in his hand as if he were a lunatic, and then hurried away.
If one fails, ask the next one. How can you save face if you don't risk your life in business?
"You want some pants? Men's and women's pants, and children's clothes, all two dollars a piece."
Wan Feng asked patiently, but after asking seven or eight people, no one responded to him.
Mrs. Xia couldn't help but feel discouraged after seeing this. Two yuan per piece was not expensive, so why couldn't it be sold?
