Chapter 121 Stabilizing

"Amy, you must keep the extra clothes for me," Mona said while pulling Tang Yuan, "I have already contacted the owner of the clothing business. If you regret selling them to someone else, I will be embarrassed."

"Don't worry, I'll leave them all for you," Tang Yuan promised her. "In addition to this batch of clothes, I can also find other ones for you, still at seven dollars a piece."

The price of seven dollars has an advantage, but it is not a particularly big advantage. If the price is higher, Mona's profit will not be enough, and she will definitely not sell it with all her heart.

She later bought more goods and did not plan to raise the price. Seven US dollars was equivalent to thirty-five Hong Kong dollars. It was not difficult for Tang Yuan to get clothes of good quality and style at half the price.

"It's a deal then!" Mona said happily.

This time she came just to pick up the clothes. After confirming that there was no problem with the quantity of the clothes, she put 14,000 US dollars into Tang Yuan's hands.

Before leaving, he said goodbye, his words full of excitement: "See you next time."

"See you next time."

Tang Yuan watched her car leave, then turned back to the car. When she got out, she was holding a bag of hair ties and a wallet, intending to go to the stall in the market to sell them for a while.

…

After selling at the M Country market until six in the evening, she returned to the northeast where it was still nine o'clock, took out a small pile of plastic film and a large bag of wool from the corner of the house, put them all into the large bag, and pushed the door open to go out.

There are now eight people in the shed outside the door. Fortunately, the original small cubicle space is not small, so now two people sitting in one cubicle will not feel crowded.

Moreover, the assistants the four brought with them were all acquaintances, so it was easier for them to sit and work together.

There were faint sounds of talking coming from the compartment, and the atmosphere was much more cheerful than before.

She pushed the door open with her things in her hand, closed it behind her, and walked towards the scrap yard.

…

"She left?"

"Well, Xiaofang is usually very busy," the mother-in-law nodded and looked over. "When you sew, fold it inward. The hem of this material is more complicated."

"Is that so?"

"Yes, that's right," the old lady nodded and looked at the little girl's face. "How do you feel during this period? Have you been able to adapt?"

"I've adapted to it. It's much easier than at home. I like sewing things. Every time I see something made by my hands, I feel very happy," the little girl said with a smile. When she lowered her head to work, she smiled. After sewing a section, she raised her head and her eyes sparkled. "Is that so?"

"Yes, that's it. You are very talented," the old lady nodded. "Just sew it like this."

"Does sewing require talent?" The little girl lowered her head again. "When I was at home, everyone said it was a natural skill and it was nothing special."

The mother-in-law paused for a moment, then continued to work, lowering her head and slowly saying, "My family used to say that, and I used to think so, too. But you see, I was chosen because of my craftsmanship, and so were you. If it weren't for your craftsmanship, I would have chosen someone else."

The little girl looked up, looked at her father-in-law and mother-in-law for a while, and then said firmly: "I will do it well!"

After she said this, the girls in the next cubicle who were chosen to be assistants all nodded.

The people who arrived earlier laughed and said, "Then let's get to work. Doing a good job is better than anything else."

“Sewing is also a craft.”

"Yeah, luckily that's what I do."

After laughing, several people began to instruct the assistants to do the work at hand as required.

The assistants can only get ten yuan a month as salary now, but they did not have a job before, and with these ten yuan they don’t have to ask their families for money, and they can live a more secure life.

You can even be more courageous when it comes to choosing your partner.

…

"Sister Shen."

"Hey, you're here," Shen Wenyu stood up, "I was just saying that this batch of wool is almost used up, so I guessed you would come over."

"I guess you guys are almost done knitting," Tang Yuan walked into the waste station, "In addition to the wool, I also took a batch of plastic bags, and put all the knitted sweaters into the plastic bags."

She handed the plastic bag to Shen Wenyu, counted the sweaters the two had knitted, and calculated the price based on the complexity of the sweaters.

They are all handmade sweaters. Not to say that the sweaters are completely different, but basically every sweater has some differences. And because there is a greater degree of freedom, there are also some unique styles, which are somewhat different from Xue Shiqi's previous style.

"Is it okay?" Second Aunt asked in a low voice, "I saw the sweater you knitted in the notebook you brought over, it's different from the ones you made before."

"I think it's good," Tang Yuan put the sweater away, "Second Aunt, you don't have to follow the previous style, just follow your own ideas and refer to the book I gave you. I will take as much as you want."

Tang Yuan knew why the second aunt was worried. Although the two of them had been allowed to knit sweaters freely for some time, the sweaters in front of them were the ones that were truly freely knitted by the two of them, so she was worried that she would refuse.

After saying this, Tang Yuan first handed the money to the two people, and then transferred the sweater to another bag.

"By the way, didn't they say someone would come to help? Why is there no one here?" Tang Yuan thought of what the two of them had told her carefully before.

"She's coming soon. She's already agreed. Her family almost refused to let her go," Shen Wenyu said with a smile. "The girl is about your age. She was originally engaged. But when she heard that she could come to my place to make money, she was still hesitant. Fortunately, she broke off the engagement for the sake of money. You're still too young to get married. Nowadays, people emphasize late marriage and late childbirth. Twenty-five or twenty-six is ​​just the right age to get married."

"Sister Shen is right," Tang Yuan put away her clothes, "I heard that having a child at a young age is bad for your health, so it's better to get married later."

"According to what you said, you must be getting married later. When someone comes over in a couple of days, we can make you some more sweaters," Shen Wenyu said, pulling her and whispering to her, "Can you really sell these sweaters?"

"Don't worry, I have my own way," Tang Yuan nodded, approached her and asked, "Any news about antiques recently?"

"The wind seems to have changed a bit," Shen Wenyu said softly. "There seem to be fewer antiques sent here recently. People who are interested in something send it to antique shops to ask, but they say it's not the real thing and are reluctant to sell it. We can't find any bargains here anymore."

"It doesn't matter now. The important thing is that this means that the batch we traded before may contain antiques." Tang Yuan said, glancing at Shen Wenyu.

Shen Wenyu thought about it and nodded excitedly: "That's true, but I'm not short of money now."

Tang Yuan laughed and raised his hand to touch her arm: "Show off."

Shen Wenyu also smiled: "It's okay, I'll keep an eye on you and I'll tell you if I have anything to say."

"Then I'll be leaving first," Tang Yuan picked up a bag of sweaters. "If you need more yarn next time, I'll bring more next time, and bring some in different colors, so you can use them more easily."

"Okay, walk slowly."

…

The season for wearing sweaters has not yet arrived, but the winter in Country M is longer than that in Hong Kong, and Country M has a larger population. If you start knitting sweaters now and sell them all at once in winter, you can make more money.

But now all the sweaters knitted have to be stored in her hands.

I stockpile some in the game space, some in the small building in Country M, and some in the house in Province Yun... I have a certain amount of money on hand, which I can earn quickly or run out of suddenly, so I hoard more and more things.

To prevent water leaks when it rains, she even took the time to repair the roof of Bu Yun Province's house.

After a while, her business stabilized again.

Ten thousand pieces of clothing were not a small number, and no matter how excited Mona was, it still took time to sell them all. It took her two months to sell them all.

In the past two months, Tang Yuan has earned hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, and finally he no longer needs to exchange US dollars for Hong Kong dollars.

Due to the difficult situation in her country in the 1980s, she planned to keep the US dollars for a while. It would be more appropriate to exchange them directly for RMB or buy some things in the United States and send them back to China.

Before the stock was completely out of stock, Tang Yuan bought another batch of clothes. This time she was unable to get a preferential price. Clothes of similar quality cost twelve Hong Kong dollars each. She spent sixty thousand Hong Kong dollars to get five thousand large-size pieces and continued to trade with Mona.

At the same time, I began to gradually transfer the sweaters I had been knitting for several months to the game space, so that I could take them out and trade them immediately if Mona needed them.

In her busy life, she gradually forgot about running a stable studio. She would only go there occasionally when she felt like making clothes, or when she got some newly arrived pearls and shells.

…

"Tina."

"Why did Miss Liu come here in person?" Designer Tina stood up with a smile and greeted the visitor.

"It's my birthday, and I want a nice dress," Ms. Liu walked into the studio carrying a bag. "Do you have anything nice that's suitable for me?"

"Of course there are. They are all here." Tina took out a whole book of clothing design drawings. "Ms. Liu can take a look."

Miss Liu lowered her head and looked carefully at the booklet in her hand.

Seeing that she was looking at it seriously, Tina breathed a sigh of relief. She looked up and saw someone passing by, so she called out to the person, "Zheng Fu, the clothes in the cloakroom have just been moved. Go over there."

"I know." Zheng Fu put down the things in her hands and turned to walk towards the cloakroom.

"Do you have any new products recently?" Miss Liu put down the brochure in her hand, stood up and walked straight to the cloakroom.

Tina glanced at the booklet and realized that Miss Liu might not be satisfied with her recent designs. She sighed in her heart and quickly took her to the cloakroom.

She is used to the fact that some customers may not like a designer's finished product, even the most satisfactory design.

The two of them came to the cloakroom one after the other. Zheng Fu was packing up her clothes and hanging them up one by one. Just as she put away one piece, she heard a voice behind her: "Let me try that one."

Tina looked up and saw the dress that Miss Liu pointed out. She immediately smiled and said, "You have a good eye. Our boss specially asked someone to design this dress. Twenty round pearls are used in the finished product. The design..."

"Your new boss? Did you hire external help?" Miss Liu asked curiously, holding the clothes and measuring them on herself.

"Yes, our boss usually meets with some designers outside," Tina smiled and held out her hand, "This dress is the right size for your body, if it's okay, I can help you try it on."

"It wasn't your design, but you are willing to work like this?" Miss Liu turned to look at her with a bit of surprise in her eyes.

"You are the guest, so naturally you are the priority. It is our honor that you like the clothes in our studio. I will also learn from the clothes you like. I hope I can design clothes that will satisfy you next time." Tina took the clothes from Miss Liu and helped her put them on.

After changing, I saw the other person looking at him in front of the mirror and asked a few questions: "Here, here, and here, they don't fit you a little bit. If you need, I can help you modify it."

"Hmm..." Miss Liu turned around, "I'm still missing a pearl necklace."

"We have a batch of high-quality pearls here and can help you customize a pearl necklace." Tina smiled.

"I have a piece of topaz. Find someone to go back with me and bring it back to make it into the pearl necklace."

"No problem." Tina nodded and glanced at Zheng Fu. She immediately turned around and went out. After a while, she brought in a quotation sheet which listed the price of the clothes, the price of the modification, and the total cost of the customized pearl necklace, and handed it to Miss Liu.

Miss Liu just glanced down, confirmed the price, took the pen and signed the quotation.

"I want it in ten days."

"Can."
