"Please sit down. I'll get you some water."
After arriving home, the old lady was busy inviting everyone to take a seat and serving tea and water.
He even brought out some candy for them to eat, treating Jian Yuelan and the others like children.
"Grandma, please stop working and sit down and take a rest."
Seeing that the old lady was going to wash the fruit again, Ye Linxing quickly stopped her and wanted to help the old lady to sit down, but was rejected. Helplessly, he could only follow her around to help.
Seeing this, Jian Yuelan started chatting with the two little girls.
Through chatting, she got a preliminary understanding of the two girls' situation.
The two girls have impressive family backgrounds, with their parents being government employees. This is why they live in the same family compound as Grandma Luo and the others.
Apart from that, they are both regular employees of Ancheng Garment Factory.
The girl with pigtails is Yuan Zhu, and the girl with short hair is Shao Qiuyun. They are both quite young, one is 17 and the other is 18.
"I understand what you mean, but I don't think you can make the decision on this matter."
Yuan Zhu is a girl with ideas. After seeing the clothes on Jian Yuelan, she not only wanted to make a set for herself, but also wanted to take her style to the factory for production.
Jian Yuelan commented that their idea was fanciful. Today's clothing is actually quite uniform and monotonous, with only a few styles coming and going.
The fabrics are mostly khaki, gauze, cotton and Dacron.
It is unrealistic to say that Chinese people have no aesthetic taste. If they really had no aesthetic taste, there wouldn’t be so many girls who would be obsessed with a piece of braid.
Men also take pride in having a green military uniform or a Zhongshan suit.
From this we can see that there is a strong demand for beauty in any era.
The clothing industry is actually very easy to run. As long as you don’t cross the red line, no one will make a big deal about it.
But the same thing goes, the reform of the clothing industry is really not something that can be promoted by two ordinary garment workers, Shao Qiuyun and Yuan Zhu.
"If you were the factory director or manager, I would be happy to discuss this with you in detail."
The refusal was obvious, but Yuan Zhu's eyes lit up.
She smiled and said, "That means Sister is still willing to talk, but because we can't make the decision, you don't think it's necessary."
Jian Yuelan smiled and said gently, "You are right. You have no say in the matter."
"We really can't make the decision, but someone else can."
Yuan Zhu did not deny her words and said frankly, "My brother is the workshop director of Ancheng Garment Factory, and Brother Qiuyun is the director of the sales department. If you are willing, I can let my brother come and talk to you."
The old lady continued, “The boy from the Yuan family is reliable.”
The implication is: we can talk.
Jian Yuelan looked at Ye Linxing and smiled, "You decide for yourself."
"good."
Jian Yuelan agreed, and Yuan Zhu was immediately happy.
"Then it's settled. Where shall we meet?"
"Tell your brother to come over for dinner straight after work."
The old lady made the final decision, "They will stay at my house tonight."
Yuan Zhu nodded and said okay, "I'll ask my brother to bring some food and wine over so that we can have a good drink with my brother-in-law and Grandpa Luo."
As she spoke, she looked at Jian Yuelan, "Sister, can you draw?"
"meeting."
Jian Yuelan knew what she meant, so she borrowed a pen and paper from Grandma Luo and quickly drew the design of the dress she was wearing, indicating in detail the fabric requirements and other details.
Even people who don’t know how to design can understand it. If you know how to make clothes, you can start making a set right away after seeing it.
"Show this to your brother first. If it's suitable, I have other styles."
If it doesn't fit, forget it.
As for whether the clothing factory will adopt this design, she doesn't care.
The domestic copyright awareness was awakened relatively late. The embroidery industry relies on real materials and real skills. You can't just pirate whatever you want.
The clothing industry is different. The people's livelihood industries such as shoes, clothing, and bags are the most susceptible to piracy because they have little technical content.
Jian Yuelan didn't want her hard work to go to waste, but she could still afford to lose a design drawing.
This design drawing will serve as a touchstone.
"Okay, I'll show this picture to my brother when I get to the factory."
Yuan Zhu took the design drawing like a treasure, then said goodbye to Shao Qiuyun and left.
Around six o'clock in the evening, Yuan Zhu's brother Yuan Wei came to visit with gifts.
"Finally I'm here, just waiting for you to start eating."
The old man opened the door for him and saw that he was carrying a lot of things. He immediately glared at him and asked, "Why are you bringing things?"
“It’s not easy to eat without food.”
Yuan Wei said frankly that no one is rich nowadays. This "not rich" does not mean having no money, but that there are some things you cannot buy even if you have money.
The quota is there, and if you want to buy more after it is used up, you can only go to the black market.
This place is very dangerous for ordinary people, and even more dangerous for old men and women.
He is not so shameless as to eat and drink for free at the old man's house.
Seeing that the old man was still unhappy, he smiled and took out a lunch box from his cloth bag, "There is beef in the state-owned restaurant today, I grabbed some."
"beef?"
The old man got anxious when he heard this and said hurriedly, "No, I have to go buy some."
This is a rare meat, my old lady loves it, so I have to buy more for her to enjoy.
"Xiao Ye, hurry up, grab your lunch box and go to the state-owned restaurant with Grandpa to grab some beef."
Ye Linxing was at a loss for words and uttered an "ah". He stood up and was about to get his lunch box but was stopped by Yuan Wei.
"Don't take it, brother. There are no more."
"there is none left?"
The old man couldn't believe it, and Yuan Wei explained, "It's really gone. Beef is so rare! As soon as the state-owned restaurant put up its sign, everyone who saw it would immediately call their friends to buy it. If I didn't know the chef well, I wouldn't have gotten this."
