Chapter 506: Bright Prospects
The sister-in-law smiled and explained, "This fabric is thin and smooth, but it's too thin for autumn and winter."
The second sister-in-law chuckled and took a step back embarrassedly.
"It doesn't matter how you wear it. I don't think there's anything different."
The fourth sister-in-law smiled and said, "Dressing is just like eating. When it's cold, eat hot food. When it's hot, eat cold food. If you do it the other way around, you won't be able to wear the clothes out."
“But I think the patterns given by my sixth sister-in-law are beautiful, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to make them according to this book.”
"How come?"
The diagrams that Ran Qingxuan provided were comprehensive and should not be difficult for people who often do women's work.
Unexpectedly, the fifth sister-in-law pointed to the diagram above and explained to her.
"These fabrics are very precious, and it would be a waste of fabric if they were cut this way."
Ran Qingxuan didn't know how to do needlework, so after thinking about it, she decided to buy four pieces of the same style directly from the mall.
When the time comes, let them take them apart and compare them one by one. With practice, they will know how to cut them.
"Then I'll leave this book here for now. You can get familiar with the styles when you have time. I'll go to the dock again tomorrow and buy four pieces of clothing from that merchant to make samples for you."
The women thought about it and decided to take it apart and then sew it back together later.
In this way, they will not only be familiar with the sewing process, but also be much more familiar with cutting.
In order to prevent the things she took out from being questioned, Ran Qingxuan felt it necessary to explain.
"It just so happens that the merchant has a few ready-made garments, so I bought them back for your reference."
"I think if these fabrics are made into clothes and sold before the spring, we should be able to make a lot of money."
The women in the family were limited in the ways they could make money, but she offered to make clothes and sell them, which would allow them to earn a lot of money in a short period of time.
After all, these people had lived in the capital and had seen a lot of the world, but this was the first time they had seen ready-made clothes made of such thin material.
"Those yellow-haired ghosts' things are not only strange and bizarre, but also extremely exquisite. Your second brother once brought back two glass cups for me, but he was not able to take them away when the family was raided. I was heartbroken for a long time."
"I have never seen anyone wearing these fabrics in Northern Qi. When the clothes are made, they will surely be very popular among women."
Seeing that the things she brought back were not questioned, Ran Qingxuan immediately said, "Then let's get familiar with the house before it's built."
"We will start sewing after the Chinese New Year and try to finish all the fabrics before the spring."
"Sixth brother's wife wants to open a store in Los Angeles?"
Because their family had offended Magistrate Tang, they almost couldn't sell their building materials.
What if we get targeted again after opening a store? Wouldn’t that be a waste of all these materials?
Third sister-in-law's concerns are also everyone's concerns. After hearing this, Ran Qingxuan was not worried at all.
"I've thought about it. Even if we open a store regardless of cost, but only sell in one place, the spending power of a town is limited."
"And I met a woman in Silver Moon City. Her family has a lot of business. I think the effect will be better if we cooperate with them."
"Sixth brother's wife, are you telling the truth?"
"After these clothes are sewn, how much can each one be sold for?"
Ran Qingxuan smiled mysteriously, lowered his voice and said to the others: "Conservatively speaking, it will not be less than thirty taels..."
Ran Qingxuan didn't dare to say anything high. After all, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
However, she was very confident about the clothes made from these fabrics. She would find an opportunity to talk to Duan Ling about her idea. She thought they would be able to make a lot of money.
The female members of the family looked very surprised. This price was acceptable in the capital. After all, some high-end shops in the capital would charge fifty, sixty or even a hundred taels for a custom-made product.
But clothes weighing hundreds of taels were not made often, and there were also some that weighed only ten or twenty taels for ordinary wear.
But I am not sure if the minimum selling price for this place is thirty taels.
"Then niece, do you think we can do this together?"
"Of course you can, otherwise our family will go blind from all these thousands of pieces of cloth."
"And I bought it because I want you to make it together. Once I conclude the deal with my friend, I will pay you according to the proceeds. What do you think?"
The women of the Chen and Xiao families all knew that if it weren't for the help of Ran Qingxuan from the Gu family, they would not have been able to make it to Zisian and settle down.
It was already good enough to be paid, and they didn't care how much. After all, they knew very well what kind of person Ran Qingxuan was, and he would definitely not treat them unfairly.
Seeing that the women were starting to get excited, Ran Qingxuan raised his hand to calm the situation down before it got out of control.
"There's no rush to make clothes. The most important thing is to learn the clothing diagram thoroughly first."
"After all, the material is quite precious. The merchant only supplies the material once every six months. If we sell one more piece, we can get more money, so we should try not to make any big mistakes."
"When you feel you are ready to make it, I will inspect it after it is finished. If it is qualified, you can get two taels of silver for each piece you make. It will be calculated by piece. The more you work, the more you get."
Once the stitching of the fabric is changed, different marks will appear on it, which will affect the appearance and have some influence on the price.
Therefore, she still needs to make it clear in advance what needs to be reminded.
When the women heard that they could get two taels of silver for making a piece of clothing, they immediately became excited again.
Even Old Madam Gu, who was holding Xuan'er, was tempted. One piece could cost two taels of silver. The style of the dress was not complicated, and one could make one in two or three days if one was quick.
By this calculation, I can earn more than twenty taels a month, which is even more profitable than doing sewing and mending for others.
At this time, Zou Yu stepped forward and said sincerely: "My niece, since you are going to discuss cooperation with others later, the profits will definitely be split in half. If you help us, don't let your own people suffer losses when the time comes."
Li Ping also asked the same question.
If we calculate it based on thirty taels per piece, Ran Qingxuan and others will split the profits in half, which means fifteen taels per person. The raw materials are purchased by others, so she must make some money.
Seeing that they were so sincerely considering him, Ran Qingxuan explained to them with a smile.
"Don't worry, aunts. I won't lose money if I sell these clothes.
Besides, two taels of labor for a piece of clothing is relatively low at the moment. When the sales of clothes pick up in the future, I will raise the price for you. ”
"But the prerequisite is that the quality must be up to standard."
She is the only one who can get this fabric, and even if she imitates the style, she cannot make the same fabric.
As long as they do their best, they will naturally earn more if they sell more.
Besides, she has everything she wants in her space. Now that she has come across such a good way to make money, she will naturally not let others take advantage of it.
The women gathered together to keep warm while discussing the clothing styles in the book. The men from each family felt more or less excited after seeing the styles.
After all, as a man in the family, there is no reason for him to wait to be supported by the women in the family.
"It seems we have to try our luck in town tomorrow and see if we can find something to do."
Ran Qingxuan heard the voices of Chen Chengping and Xiao Hongyi. After a little thought, he came up with an idea.
