In fact, Zhang Xuan didn't necessarily have any other intentions in letting Wan Feng live here, because the men's dormitory was also empty, and no one had returned except Wan Feng.
Faced with the empty dormitory, Wan Feng thought about it and decided not to spend the night in the dormitory, but ran to Li You's house.
Anyway, he and Li Mingdou are going to Aihui tomorrow, so it would be convenient for them to take the bus together from his house in the morning.
No words were spoken that night.
On the morning of November 2nd, Wan Feng and Li Mingdou boarded the bus bound for Heihe from the main farm on the roadside.
It was more than sixty miles from Xiao Wu's house to Aihui, and forty minutes later they both got off the bus at Aihui Ancient City.
At the end of 1983, the population of Aihui Ancient Town was about 7,000 to 8,000, making it a very small town.
The industry is underdeveloped, and the light industry only has this one cotton mill. Moreover, the situation is a bit difficult now. They have not had any product orders since the beginning of autumn.
This batch of goods from Wanfeng is the only order they have received recently.
Wan Feng ordered fifty pieces of cloth here in the first batch, with colors including traditional blue, gray, brown, white and bright red.
Ten pieces of each color.
Wan Feng vaguely remembered that these colors of bell-bottom pants were the most popular, while green and black were very rare. Moreover, at a certain period of time, those purple-red bell-bottom pants were very popular.
The most popular bell-bottom pants at that time were a tight shirt, bell-bottom pants, a pair of sunglasses on the face, a few curls on the hair, and a tape recorder on the shoulder.
If you walk down the street, that guy... is really asking for a beating.
At the same time, Wan Feng also ordered a batch of canvas used for work clothes from the cotton mill, which he planned to use to make denim clothes next year.
After loading the cloth, Aihui Cotton Mill sent a truck to deliver the cloth to the house rented by Xiao Wujia Wanfeng.
Bringing all these fabrics into the house made Wan Feng and Li Mingdou so tired that they were gasping for breath.
Zhang Xuan and He Yanfei started to study the production of bell-bottom pants when they saw the cloth coming in.
"Bell-bottom pants should be tight-fitting with thin legs and wide hems. The hems should cover your shoes. Regular hems are about 5.5 inches, but the smallest bell-bottom hem is 8 inches, and the largest is 1.2 inches. You should make them according to these sizes, starting with 8- and 9-inch sizes. Bell-bottom pants can be worn by both men and women."
"Women also wear clothes?" This time Zhang Xuan was surprised.
What's so strange about that? Women dress even crazier than men.
"But you'd better not show it to yourself. If you wear it on campus, the teacher might cut your trouser legs with scissors."
"Is it really that serious?" He Yanfei was unconvinced.
"Don't believe it? Then you can try it." After saying that, Wan Feng went out.
Zhang Xuan and He Yanfei just gave it a try and tinkered around in the house without any belief in anything superstitious.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, the students returned to school one after another, and the four teachers who lived in the clothing internship department also returned.
After dinner, Wan Feng walked into the dormitory of these teachers and told them the purpose of his visit.
"Let these interns make pants for you?"
Wan Feng nodded. "Pants are relatively easy to make among garments. A quick hand can finish a pair of pants in an hour, while a slow hand can finish one in two hours. So I want you and your students to help me make the pants. The fabric is mine, and we'll be responsible for the cutting. You just need to focus on the production. I'll pay you 30 cents per pair for the processing fee."
The reason why Wan Feng only asked them to sew and not cut was because he was afraid that the fabric would be embezzled by them.
The four female teachers looked at each other in bewilderment. The processing fee for a pair of pants was thirty cents, and making ten pairs of pants a day would cost three yuan.
this…
The temptation is irresistible.
For those who stay here, they can make ten pairs of pants in one night if they do some processing.
Their monthly salary is less than 50 yuan, but the monthly income from making pants would be much higher than their salary.
"We can use our spare time to help you with the process, but we don't know what the students are thinking, so we can't make decisions on their behalf. Besides, the school may not allow us to do that."
"If you don't tell me about the school, I'm sure the school doesn't know what's going on. If there's a problem, I'll go and solve it. You can ask the students. I don't think they'll refuse."
"I'll ask you about this when school starts tomorrow, and I'll give you the letter tomorrow night."
After the discussion, Wan Feng returned to the rented house. As soon as he entered the house, his eyes almost fell out.
Zhang Xuan was wearing a pair of white bell-bottom pants and spinning in the middle of the floor. Several girls living in the room were clapping their hands.
Zhang Xuan is over 1.75 meters tall, and these white bell-bottom pants look absolutely slender on her. If her hips were a little thinner, she would look even more...
Stunning! A natural beauty.
Wan Feng muttered to himself.
"Wan Feng is back. Come take a look at Zhang Xuan's new pants and leave a comment."
When Zhang Xuan saw Wan Feng coming back, he posed, but it was obvious that he had no training and the pose looked a bit awkward.
If you stand in this posture for a long time, you will definitely suffer from lumbar disc herniation.
"It's very good, but even if it's very good, you can't wear it. The school won't let you wear it. Maybe next year. Besides, you made it white, but it can't be worn in winter. Who wears white clothes in winter? It's reflective, and you still don't feel cold."
"I just gestured and made it with a random piece of fabric without thinking about anything else."
Just take a piece of fabric? It's all money!
Wan Feng looked at He Yanfei.
"I haven't done it yet. I want to wait and see if Zhang Xuan is done. Alas! I'm not as tall as her, so I'm sure it won't look as good as hers."
"We'll talk about whether it looks good or not later. I've talked to a few teachers over there. They're responsible for sewing a pair of three-mao pants, and we're responsible for cutting them. He Yanfei, I'll give you 15 cents for cutting a pair of pants. Tell me, how many pairs of pants can you cut in an hour?"
He Yanfei thought for a long time: "At the beginning, I can probably cut two strips in an hour, and when I get used to it, I can probably cut three or four."
This speed was just okay. Wan Feng remembered that it only took Luan Feng and Jiang Min a few minutes to cut a pair of pants. They didn't need any measurements or markings when cutting pants. They just took the scissors and started cutting directly on the fabric. It was done in a few strokes.
Later on, when they stopped making pants, they were still very good at making clothes.
Wang Wenmin's eyes widened. "Fei Fei can earn 30 cents an hour? Then working three hours at night would only make one dollar, right? Jichun! Why didn't we learn from him in the first place?"
Jichun also beat his chest and stamped his feet.
"Haha, I told you two to learn how to be lazy. Lazy women like you will never get married in the future." Wan Feng said sarcastically.
"No, I want to learn too. I want to make 15 cents by tailoring a pair of pants."
Ji Chun rolled his eyes and said, "Fei Fei and Xuan Xuan have learned it, haven't they? Let's learn from them. If they don't teach us, we will make trouble."
"Do we both want to learn it too?" Li Qiuli and another girl named Mi Yang were also jealous.
The internship department specializes in clothing sewing, and this department specializes in clothing cutting.
It only takes a few days to learn how to cut. If the six girls in this room were to specialize in cutting, they could barely provide enough space for fifteen sewing machines to operate.
