Chapter 889 Making a cotton-padded jacket

Lin An said: "Now that the back mountain has been closed, everyone uses firewood from their homes for the winter. Even if they give us more firewood, there will be less that our families can use, so the price of two cents is not high."

It is true that firewood is not valuable, but it must also be linked to the season.

It is true that if he paid a dime for a bundle of firewood, many people would be willing to sell it.

But in this case, Lin An would not be able to overcome this hurdle in his own mind first.

Because winter is difficult for everyone, if you want to be more comfortable, you have to make the firewood stand more prosperous.

After everyone sold firewood to them, there was less for their own use, so he set the price higher so that everyone could earn more money to buy some daily necessities.

A bundle of firewood costs only a dime more, and ten bundles of firewood only cost one yuan. You can buy a lot for ten yuan. Enough to burn for several days.

Although his family is not rich, making money is easier than that of his fellow villagers. He cannot give what he should not give, and he must not be taken advantage of, but he must give no less than what should be given.

"That's it, then I'll shout through the loudspeaker and tell anyone who has firewood to move it directly to your house, and you'll just have to pay them on the spot."

"Okay. But I have one request. You can't cut corners. Everyone knows how much a bundle of firewood costs. If anyone wants to make more money and reduces the quantity of firewood, then I don't want it."

"Don't worry about this. If this is the case, don't talk about you anymore. I don't agree with it."

After agreeing with Lin An, the team leader used the loudspeaker to announce the shoe news.

"The Lin family is indeed rich, and they actually spent money to buy firewood!"

"It's understandable, after all, burning the kang really consumes too much firewood. I won't go into details, I'll go see how much firewood I can distribute at home first."

Two cents is not much, but it can still buy some small things.

As a result, Lin An and the other three left empty-handed and came back empty-handed.

After returning home, facing Xu Wanning's confused eyes, Lin An explained: "I went directly to the brigade captain, and the brigade captain used the loudspeaker to notify the villagers that the firewood seller would be delivered directly to our home. "

"That's good, it can save a lot of trouble."

After waiting for a while, all the firewood sellers came.

The rest of the Xu family had never seen this battle before, and wanted to go see it, but the clothes they wore were not enough to withstand the severe cold in the Black Province. Even if they went out for a second, their faces would be frozen to death, so they could only sit in the room. Warm yourself by the fire and listen to what's going on outside.

Xu Wanning originally wanted to go out, but as soon as she reached the door, Xu's mother held her back.

"It's so cold outside and you're getting firewood. What if someone accidentally bumps into you when you go out? Just sit in the house obediently."

"That's right, Anzi is such a big man, can't he even solve this kind of thing?"

Xu Wanning had no choice but to stay in the main room obediently.

In the yard, every time Lin An collected firewood from a family, he would give the money to them on the spot.

Basically, they are sold in five or five bundles, which makes it easy to calculate accounts.

In the end, the room where the Lin family stacked firewood could no longer fit.

After buying firewood, Lin Quan found Aunt Cheng again.

"Aunt Cheng, my sister-in-law's family is here. There are more than ten people here. They are all from Beijing and cannot adapt to the cold in our black province, so my sister-in-law wants to make a cotton-padded jacket for each of them. I will use the fabric and cotton. My sister-in-law takes it and pays the corresponding craft fee for making a cotton-padded jacket."

"Aunt Cheng, you have the best relationship with my mother, and your skills in making cotton-padded jackets are also good, so I will approach you first, and then you can help me find a few aunts to do it together. We are in a hurry."

Aunt Cheng said hurriedly: "That's no problem. Let me calculate, if it's a single cotton-padded jacket, I can make four or five sets a day, but if you include cotton pants, I can make up to three sets a day. Your sister-in-law's family has a total of How many people are there?”

Lin Quan silently calculated in his heart.

The eldest aunt, the second aunt, the aunt, the elder sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law, the fourth sister-in-law, the fifth sister-in-law, younger brothers and sisters, and cousins, there are nine sets of women's models in total.

The eldest uncle, the second uncle, the uncle, the eldest brother, the third brother, the fourth brother, the fifth brother, the younger brother, and the cousins, there are ten sets of men's models in total.

There are also two little guys, Shi An and Shi Yi.

Shi'an Shiyi had already put on warm, thick cotton clothes that Song Han and Chu Lin had worn before.

But after all, you have to make a new body, right?

My sister-in-law said, cotton and cloth are enough.

"It's easy to say that the two children's clothes can be made in half a day. But the adults' clothes require a total of nineteen sets. I guess it will take a few more people to make them. After all, the sooner they are made, the sooner they can be worn."

"Yes, that's right. Aunt Cheng, how many people do you think are suitable?"

"If you include me, let's find five more people. On average, each person will make three sets. I will make one more set, together with the two children. What do you think?"

"no problem."

Aunt Cheng said with some embarrassment: "Tsuanquan, how much can your sister-in-law give me to make a set of clothes?"

Regarding the price, Lin Quan had discussed it with Lin's mother before.

"The men's model is larger and the women's model is smaller, so I will pay an extra 50 cents for the men's model, two and a half yuan per set, and two yuan for the women's model. One piece for the two children, what do you think?" "

This price is a price that can satisfy both parties.

In Beijing, making a dress, not counting the fabric, but just the craftsmanship, costs four or five yuan at the cheapest price, and it is still the simplest style.

It takes a lot of work to make such a thick cotton coat, especially if there is no sewing machine, and everything has to be sewn by hand.

So for the price of two yuan, it’s not expensive at all.

But for Xu Wanning and Lin Quan, the inexpensive price was enough to make the villagers cheer.

If you make three sets of clothes, you can earn as little as six yuan and as much as seven and a half yuan!

She could make two more sets for children and earn two more dollars.

For more than ten yuan, you can really live a good year.

"Don't worry, Tsuen Tsuen. I promise to find someone with good character and quick hands and feet to make clothes for you."

"Aunt Cheng, our price is not low, but we have to do it well. If it is not done well, not only will we not pay you, but we will also have to ask someone to charge for the loss of fabric and cotton."

"Don't worry, I promise you that this will never happen."

"Okay, then I'll go find someone first."

Lin Quan went back to the house and told Xu Wanning about asking Aunt Cheng to make clothes.

Xu's mother asked incomprehensively: "When we were building a house before, we only paid 50 cents a day for manual labor. After working for seven or eight days, we could only earn a few yuan. Why do we only need two yuan to make clothes?" Got money?”

Xu's mother definitely doesn't care about the money.

She just didn't understand, what was the reason for giving the money, how could it be so different?

Lin Quan explained: "Auntie, building a house is a manual job. Basically anyone with the strength can do it, but making cotton-padded jackets is not something everyone can do."
