Qian Mao sneered and said, "You are scarier than a flood or a beast, can't you just let me take a break?"
"Why are you taking a break? Aren't you making money? Is the money you earn enough for retirement? Enough to support your son? Enough to educate your son? Enough..."
"Stop, stop, stop! Stop talking! What's the matter? Tell me!"
"I bought a new shop and I want to hire someone to help me renovate it. What do you think..."
"No one left! Didn't you hire all the best craftsmen in the county to do the work?"
Lin Wanwan smiled and scratched his head. "That's true. How about you help me find someone in another county? I'll pay for the trip, and provide food and lodging!"
Qian Mao said unhappily, "Okay, okay, I'll go ask in other counties. You leave now. I'm upset just seeing you!"
Lin Wanwan curled her lips and walked out of the shop leisurely.
Everything was going on in full swing, and after more than 20 days, the workshop in the village was the first to be completed.
She began to recruit a large number of female workers who could embroider in the village, and took Nan Xi and Nan Xing to receive unified training.
Lin Wanwan looked at the huge workshop and saw that there were only thirty or forty people. It seemed that they would have to recruit more people in a few days.
"Sisters-in-law and aunts, come here for a moment. I'll tell you what to do."
As he spoke, he took out two different menstrual pads.
"Look, this is something women often use. It contains wood ash. This kind of thing is dusty and can easily cause gynecological diseases. This kind of thing is made of fine gauze and cotton. It will be much more comfortable and clean, and it will sell for a higher price. I calculated the cost and the selling price. You can make an ordinary one for two cents, and you can make about thirty or forty per day. A slightly better one costs three cents, and you can make about twenty per day. The best one costs five cents, but you can only make a dozen per day at most.
Of course, there are many people who can do it quickly and well. It's up to you to choose. In short, the more you do, the more you earn. If you work in the workshop, you will get two meals a day. If you come early, you will get breakfast and lunch, and if you come late, you will get lunch and dinner."
"It's just sewing a menstrual belt, why are you giving so much?"
"This job is easy! I can make 70 or 80 of them a day!"
"Wanwan, are you really providing two meals?"
Everyone asked all kinds of questions at once, and Lin Wanwan patiently answered them.
"But the style I want is a little difficult. I'll ask Nanxi and Nanxing to make two of them, and then you'll know."
Lin Wanwan asked the two of them to do it while she explained the steps, trying to teach them both.
"Cut out the shape, put flat cotton batting on it, and then sew it. When you do it, make sure the stitches are fine and smooth, otherwise the cotton batting inside will easily clump or go off track."
"Finally, see this extra edge? We're going to sew buttons here."
Lin Wanwan took out two pairs of panties and said, "This is a new style of panties. Look, put the menstrual belt on top, then fasten the buttons, put it on, and fasten the belt around the waist. That's it. It's very comfortable and won't leak."
They all picked them up and looked at them carefully, and could not help blushing.
"Oh, this is really good, unlike my underwear, which hits my butt every day!"
"Yeah, it's so comfortable!"
A sister-in-law whispered, "I don't know how I got gynecological disease last year. The head of the family was considerate of me and took me to see a doctor. He prescribed some medicine and finally told me to keep clean every day and pay more attention to my menstrual period!"
"Yeah, who would have thought that the problem would be with this menstrual belt!"
"I heard that the women in those wealthy families use menstrual belts made of several layers of cotton cloth! They throw them away after use. They are so careful, so it must be true!"
Lin Wanwan smiled and said, "Everyone should practice on their own first. If three people can make something that is up to standard, I will hire them. If not, I can only apologize."
When they heard this, they quickly took their materials, found a good position and started working, all hoping that they could be hired.
In the end, Lin Wanwan only picked out two who were unqualified and asked them to go home and practice again. If they did well, they could come back to work. After hearing this, they immediately regained their confidence and went home to work hard.
A few days later, she started recruiting people in the next village. After someone came to see the workshop in the village, they went back and advertised it widely. There was an endless stream of women coming to sign up.
She first recruited seventy or eighty people who were good at embroidery, and asked the rest to go back and practice before the next recruitment.
The sisters-in-law in the village have all become masters. Each of them has one or two apprentices and is responsible for teaching the newcomers.
Sometimes when work got off late, Lin Wanwan would have someone drive a bullock cart to send those who lived nearby back home first, and those who lived far away would be arranged to stay in the dormitory behind the workshop and wait until work got off early the next day before going home.
Because the underwear was relatively simple, they made it quite well, and they made a lot of them in various sizes, making ten coins for each pair, and she planned to sell them for thirty coins each. But the bras were a problem, because the fabric was not strong enough, so they had to sew more layers, and the sewing they did was not very good-looking.
Lin Wanwan had no choice but to go find Shopkeeper Dong, follow him to his wife's embroidery workshop, and ask if they could take it.
They negotiated for a long time, decided on several styles and sizes, negotiated the price, made a batch to try out, paid a deposit of thirty taels, and then went back satisfied.
