Chapter 1160 Tailor Shop

"I do! Grandma, to tell you the truth, the clothes I am wearing were made by my mother herself, not ready-made ones bought in a store. I prefer tailor-made clothes to ready-made clothes, although the price It's relatively more expensive, but it fits better than the one I bought, and it looks much better."

"Really?" Grandma looked at Xu Wanning's clothes closer, "It's really handmade. , You can’t tell it at first glance, but you can still tell it by yourself. It’s just different between handmade clothes and machine-made clothes. Not many young people like you like handmade clothes! "

Xu Wanning smiled and said, "I really like it. I opened a tailor shop for my mother on Qianjin Road, and the business was pretty good. If our partner hadn't quit temporarily, our tailor shop would be here now. The scale has been expanded."

"I was thinking about finding a few more skilled old tailors to work in my tailor shop, but I couldn't find the right person. Grandma, since grandpa is an old tailor, he should know him. Are there many colleagues? How about you ask Grandpa to help me?"

The old lady thought for a moment, "This is a small thing, I can help it, but you have to tell me in advance, right? Otherwise, if someone asks me, I won't be able to tell them. "

"The salary I give is not low, the basic salary is fifty yuan a month. In addition, my tailor gets a commission based on the number of clothes he makes. The shop is high-end, and the requirements for clothes are relatively high, and the prices are relatively high. If the clothes are made to satisfy the customer, I will give a commission ranging from ten to twenty yuan per piece of clothing. "

The basic salary of fifty yuan is really not a high salary in Beijing. If you go to work in a factory, you will earn at least forty or fifty yuan a month, and you are still the most basic assembly line worker.

But for making a piece of clothing, you can get a commission of ten to twenty yuan. This condition is really too tempting.

Even if you only do four or five pieces a month, that's forty to fifty yuan or more. If you include the salary, wouldn't it easily exceed a hundred?

The old lady was a little moved.

She took Xu Wanning's hand and said: "Our grandfather has been a tailor for many years. His craftsmanship is incredible. You have also seen the clothes he made, and no one can say anything bad about it. Why don't you think about it? , let your grandpa go to work in your tailor shop?"

Xu Wanning allowed the old lady to hold her hand, her tone still calm, "That's a good relationship, but the problem is that grandpa is not young anymore, and making clothes is more troublesome. , I'm worried that his body will be able to bear it after a long time."

"No problem, he often makes clothes at home now, at least three pieces a week!"

"That's it, grandma, our fifty yuan! The salary is not a basic salary without responsibility, but how many pieces of clothing are required to be made within a specified time. Under normal circumstances, the amount is two pieces per week, and they are relatively simple styles. "

"The clothes for commission are on. If you make more than this number, you will get a commission for each piece, but the style is more complicated. The more complicated the style, the higher the commission will be. "

"Well, I'll leave you an address. Next Wednesday, you ask grandpa and the tailor you found for me to go to our tailor shop and take a look. If it's suitable, we can cooperate."

"The relationship is good, please give me the address quickly . "

Lin An watched as Xu Wanning wrote an address and handed it to the old woman.

It happened that grandma's dumplings were also cooked. She said "pack it" and hurried away with the dumplings in her hand.

Lin An couldn't help but wonder: "What happened to Zhang Yuling before? Hasn't the tailor shop been closed? When did you open the tailor shop again?"

"It's not open yet." Xu Wanning began to pour vinegar into the plate, " I bought a street house before, right between Jingshi No.1 and the Army, just one street away from the previous tailor shop. I plan to use that as the location of the new tailor shop. "

The tailor shop will definitely open . Yes, not to make money, just to find something to do for Mother Lin.

Her daily life now consists of home and school, two o'clock and one line, the children go to school, and she does some needlework at home, or chats with her old sisters. Although it is relaxing, but for a lifetime of hard work, For Mrs. Lin, life was boring.

She likes to make clothes, which can not only make money, but also allow her to find the value of her own existence in the process of making clothes, thus gaining happiness.

Knowing that making clothes would make Mrs. Lin happy, Xu Wanning naturally wanted to reopen the tailor shop.

"The house is very large, no less than the previous tailor shop. I plan to use it to open a shop in the front, and tidy up the yard in the back a little, and separate a few small rooms so that there will be a place for lunch."

The children asked for lunch at noon. After returning home, Mother Lin could take them to the tailor's shop first, and after lunch, they could sleep in the tailor's shop for a while.

In the previous tailor shop, the children were like this at first, but later, I don’t know what happened. The children were unwilling to eat and sleep in the tailor shop, so Mother Lin had to go through the trouble of sending them home at noon every day. , and then send them to school.

Thanks to Xu Wanning's good food and drink, Mother Lin's body was well maintained. Otherwise, Mother Lin's body would definitely not be able to bear such high-intensity work every day.

Now that the tailor shop is open in her own house, the children are not uncomfortable. They can sleep for half an hour more at noon, and Mother Lin can relax a little more.

The dumplings were cooked and served on the table. Lin An placed the pickled cabbage dumplings in front of Xu Wanning and asked, "You didn't just have an impromptu intention to talk to someone, did you?"

"Of course it was an impromptu idea, otherwise you think I could have figured it out in advance. Who do you meet here?"

"But, from the looks of it, you seem to have been prepared for a long time."

Xu Wanning smiled and said, "I asked Tang Ting to help me find out, and she said there was an old tailor in this alley. , The craftsmanship is very good, her grandma used to make clothes from that person when she was young, and he also taught several apprentices with good skills. "

"But now, everyone generally likes to buy ready-made clothes, and the prices are relatively cheap. There are many choices and the styles are fashionable, so old craftsmen gradually lose their popularity.”

But Xu Wanning believes that every choice has its audience.

For example, those who like tailor-made clothes are those who have money, power, and status. Compared with the bad street styles, tailor-made clothes are what they like most.
