Chapter 297: Put them away quickly and don’t take them out, or I will feel bad when I see them
After drinking the soup, I felt warm all over. I moved around for a while to avoid gaining weight before sitting down and continuing to make clothes for Weiwei.
The style she designed was relatively simple, but she had never made children's clothes and was not very familiar with it. She took it apart and sewed it several times before she managed to finish it.
He Rongrong couldn't help but praise, "Ajiu, you made it so beautifully. I've never seen a child wearing clothes like this before! It will definitely be very popular if it's sold."
Wen Jiu stood up and stretched, pinched He Rongrong's nose, and said affectionately: "I find that you are a little money-grubber now, and your mind is full of how to make money."
"Money is a good thing!"
"If I don't like money, what else can I like?" He Rongrong smiled and slapped away the hand that was warming the wine, and picked up the clothes she had made. "You take a rest, I'll take the clothes and iron them for you. It's not suitable to give them to others with wrinkles."
"Okay!"
"My Rongrong is so thoughtful! Let me give you a kiss to show my appreciation." Wen Jiu said as he made a gesture to kiss He Rongrong.
He Rongrong shyly pushed the warm wine away, "You are already married, stop messing around. If your battalion commander finds out, he'll shoot holes all over my body."
Wenjiu was not shy when being teased, and he joked with He Rongrong with a smile.
"Where is it?"
"His eyes aren't machine guns."
"I think it's about time."
He Rongrong glared at Wen Jiu, picked up her clothes and turned to go to the backyard.
Wenjiu shook her head and laughed, she was so thin-skinned that she would be picked on by the shameless Xia Huaishan sooner or later. She found a broom and a garbage shovel and swept away the threads and rags on the ground.
Seeing Zhou Lian coming from the backyard, she picked out a piece of clothes hanging on the wall that suited him and passed it to him.
"Sister-in-law, are you not doing business anymore?"
Why are clothes being given away?
Wen Jiu smiled and said, "Yes!"
"I can't keep them until next year to sell them. The remaining pieces won't be counted until tomorrow when the store opens. Let's divide them up and take them home to wear."
"We will be closed for the holiday starting tomorrow. We will take seven days to see how things go. I know where you live. I will call you if there is anything."
Zhou Lian nodded, "Okay, I'll clean up the store before I leave."
"OK!"
"Then you clean it up!"
He cleaned up the store and then looked through the remaining clothes to see who should wear them. All the women's clothes were sold out and the only ones left were men's clothes.
She planned to take the two black coats back for Wen Chuji and Lu Beiye to wear, as they suited their face shapes and figures. She also gave the grey sweatshirt to Xia Huaishan, as he had a bit of a baby face and the sweatshirt made him look younger.
After packing up his things, Wenjiu sat down, took out his account book and began to calculate this month's expenses, net profit and everyone's wages.
Opened for 23 days without a break.
Sales were good in the beginning, but then the weather turned cold and the clothes didn’t fit well, so business wasn’t very good. I probably sold less than 20 pieces of clothing a day.
Amount deposited: 8465 yuan.
Purchase fabric accessories, sewing machines, threads, and other tools and supplies: $5,545.
Renovation of storefront: 80 yuan.
Rent: 50 yuan.
Buy rice, flour, rapeseed, kitchen utensils, and other miscellaneous items: 68 yuan.
He Rongrong and Zhou Lian both receive a basic salary of 50 yuan per month. Although the month is not yet full, they still calculate it based on the full month. He Rongrong has to add the money for making clothes separately, and the remaining commission from selling clothes is calculated at the same rate for both of them.
Zhou Lian’s salary: 88 yuan.
He Rongrong's salary: 96 yuan.
He Sheng and Aunt Zhao made bracelets. It was simple. She charged five cents for each one, so He Sheng got 20 yuan and Aunt Zhao got 15 yuan. She didn't make money here. She just equalized the material cost and labor cost to the selling price, so both sides were exactly even.
Sisters-in-law’s salary: 348 yuan.
Excluding her own salary, the net profit was 2,155 yuan.
Wenjiu was quite satisfied with the result. Clothing fabrics were relatively expensive in those days, otherwise ordinary families would not be unable to afford a few new clothes throughout the year. The fabric prices for accessories in the mid-range market were even higher, but the prices of clothes could not be too high, so the profits were completely incomparable to modern times.
But it was pretty good in this era. Although it was still far from the funds she needed to open a factory, it was still an initial success.
Wenjiu happily counted the money and used it to pay wages to everyone.
"Uncle He, this is yours."
"Aunt Zhao, this is yours."
"Brother Zhou, Rongrong, it's yours."
"Count by yourself! If it's wrong, come to me right away. If you come to me again to complain about this, I won't admit it." She blinked and smiled at them playfully.
He Sheng smiled and said, "How could that be? You work so carefully, how could you make a mistake?" After he said that, he handed the salary he had just received to He Rongrong who was standing next to him.
The father and daughter had agreed that they would pay Wenjiu back as soon as they received their wages.
Aunt Zhao's hands were shaking with excitement. This money was much easier to earn than making matchboxes.
Zhou Lian was also surprised. He didn't expect to have so much money. "Sister-in-law, the amount of money I have should be wrong. How can I have so much money when it's not even the end of the month yet?"
He Rongrong also said: "Yes! Our salary is paid monthly, and there are still seven or eight days left at the end of the month. This part should be deducted."
Where can I get so much?
Sometimes she saw Wen Jiu buying things and paying for them, and she felt her heart stop when she heard the numbers.
Wen Jiu explained, "It's cold in winter, so the extra stuff is a reward for you. I'm trying to entice you to keep fucking me!"
"Put them away quickly and don't take them out, or I'll feel bad seeing them."
"These are all my precious money!" She covered her chest and wailed in a pretended reluctance.
At first, she was very nervous when she saw the bills coming in, fearing that the store would not be able to keep up with the cash flow, because she did not have much money. She did not want to use the betrothal gift from Lu Beiye, and most of her own money was given to He Rongrong to save He Sheng's life. The rest of her money, together with her earnings from the stall, was less than 800 yuan.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, but things will definitely go smoothly later.
If you have money in your pocket, you won't be worried.
He Sheng and the others were so amused that they laughed out loud, with the corners of their mouths stretched all the way to their ears.
He Rongrong went back to her room and added up the money Xia Huaishan had asked her to help make clothes, the money Wen Jiu had asked her to make clothes, He Sheng's salary, her salary, and the money they had earned from doing odd jobs, the total was 268 yuan, and she gave 250 yuan to Wen Jiu.
Wen Jiu accepted it without hesitation, patted He Rongrong on the shoulder and said, "Congratulations on successfully reducing your debt by 250 yuan. Please keep working hard!"
She knew He Rongrong's personality. In her eyes, the more she could give back, the better. She would feel more relaxed if she did. Good sisters don't talk about empty things.
He Rongrong nodded happily, "I, I will try my best to pay it back as soon as possible."
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Wen Jiu pinched her face, and her soft face felt especially comfortable. "Could it be that you want to get married and save up dowry for yourself?"
