Travel through the 70s, marry the king of soldiers, and become the richest man with space

"Sister-in-law Yan, is there something wrong with our hands?"

"With all due respect, your hands must be maintained before you can work."

"Huh? So troublesome?"

"Yes, the hands need to be kept smooth and barb-free."

"In addition to cotton, linen, leather and other fabrics, the clothes we make also need to come into contact with some relatively fragile fabrics. Some of them are easy to snag. If the fabric is damaged during the making of the clothes, new fabrics have to be cut. That’s all.”

"In order to avoid wasting materials midway, hand condition is very important."

"This..."

They didn't expect that making a piece of clothing requires so much attention.

"We are all people who are used to working, and we don't have any idea about the care of our hands."

"Don't be busy now. If you join my team, I will teach you some simple and practical methods that cost less money."

"Of course, if you want to recover quickly, you may still need to spend one or two yuan."

She had to be vaccinated against this in advance, so that she wouldn't say she hadn't made any money and then subsidize the money.

"Sister-in-law Yan, can we first understand how you pay us wages?"

If the wages are low and they need to spend some money to do the work in the early stage, then it is actually more practical to continue pasting matchboxes.

They are all unemployed women, and every penny must be spent wisely.

"of course can."

"Hold on."

She went to the room and took out some clothes.

"These are some of the samples that need to be made later, some are simple and some are more complex."

“We don’t pay salaries every month, but we adopt a more-reward approach.”

"For example, short-sleeves require division of labor, one person cuts and another sews, and each costs ten cents. The workmanship of a coat is relatively complicated. Like the one in my hand, it takes a few hours or a day to get familiar with it by cutting the fabric, sewing and stuffing the liner. You can make one piece at a time, and the current price is one yuan and five pieces."

"Sigh~~"

"Is it that high?"

Several people were a little surprised when they heard the price she quoted, especially those who were more skilled in making clothes and had sewing machines at home.

Even if you make one piece in two days, you can earn more than 20 yuan a month, which is much more cost-effective than gluing matchboxes.

The matchbox was a tiring day's work. From morning to night, I could only make [-] sticks and earn [-] cents.

"Don't think it looks simple. If it is not done well, I will directly ask for rework. If it is done wrong more times, then sorry, our cooperation may end here."

"Don't worry, we understand."

These fabrics don't look cheap, and it would be a shame to have them scrapped.

"Actually, you can't make much money by making clothes. If you ask me, I have to do work that others can't do."

As soon as these words came out, the sisters-in-law who came over all stared at Song Fuyu, waiting for her next words.

"Look at the skirt in my hand. You have all made clothes. You can tell at a glance that it is very simple to make. After cutting the fabric, you can make one in about an hour."

"However, what is really valuable about it is not the fabric and workmanship itself, but the embroidery on the fabric, which is all hand-embroidered. If any of you are interested in this aspect, like the embroidery pattern on this skirt, the clothing factory provides The quote is eight dollars a piece.”

“The prices given vary depending on the difficulty of the embroidery and the size of the area.”

"But...this requirement for hands is more important than making clothes."

"Okay, I'll just say this first. You can sit down and think about it. If you have no intention, we will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future. Sister-in-law who has ideas, you can come over to my place. I want to see the details of your clothes-making skills. How about, when the time comes, we need to divide the clothes into different types according to your abilities."

After listening to what Song Fuyu said, the sisters-in-law felt more or less moved in their hearts.

If they can really meet her requirements, they may make as much money as the head of the family in the future, and that way they can strengthen their backbone at home.

In particular, the conditions of some families are not that good. They not only have to raise children, but also support the elderly sister-in-law. If they can earn 30 to [-] yuan a month, the family's life will be much easier.

"By the way, I forgot to mention something just now."

“Except for the embroidery, all hemming work is done on a sewing machine.”

“Sewing opportunities are provided, but that also means that clothes cannot be taken home and made.”

"Isn't it okay if you have a sewing machine at home?"

"No."

"We all come to your house to do it?"

There are so many of them, and they need six or seven sewing machines alone, which is probably not enough for Captain Yan's family.

"Mr. Li arranged two rooms for us."

Hearing the name of Mr. Li, the sisters-in-law who came over felt more at ease.

Being able to make Mr. Li arrange two rooms directly with a wave of his hand proves that things are over and they don't have to worry about anything else.

"Fuyu, how about I try it first?"

Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, Liu Aihua took the lead to stand up and give everyone a sample.

She knew the most, and Song Fuyu didn't fully explain it to them today. From what Liu Aihua knows, she thinks this is a much better job than pasting matchboxes.

The work is not that tiring, but the pay is very respectable.

Before they arrived, Song Fuyu had already sampled the eight most common sewing techniques in advance.

"Sister-in-law Liu, this is a sample. Just make it with whatever you know how to do. Put it on the side and take it yourself."

While Liu Aihua was operating, the other sisters-in-law also gathered around.

"Sister-in-law Yan, do we all want to do it?"

"It's best to do them all. If you really can't, do what you know how to do."

"If you want to learn embroidery, will there be a dedicated teacher to teach you?"

"I teach."

"Were those clothes you took just now made by you?"

"Correct."

They thought she was mainly responsible for communication, but they didn't expect that she was a veteran. This time she had to show her true skills.

It took the seven of them three hours from the time they entered to the time they left. During the process, Song Fuyu also went to the kitchen to wash and cook rice.

These sisters-in-law are all good at making clothes, but it can still be seen that two of them are somewhat lacking in skills. Fortunately, they have good attitudes and can spend time teaching them while they are working on their skills.

Among them, Liu Aihua has another sister-in-law named Li Hua, who has clearly expressed to her that she wants to learn embroidery. So far, she has accepted everything. Whether it is feasible or not will be decided after learning it.

Embroidery is different from making clothes. It still requires more or less talent.

That’s it for now, and we’ll talk about it later if it’s appropriate.
