Farming Little Husband Makes a Fortune

Chapter 42 Boldly Improve the Old Style

According to He Jun's wishes, shopkeeper Zhou helped him choose several bolts of high-quality silk cloth and several bolts of middle-grade cloth.

"How many pieces of clothing are you going to make? This piece of fabric can probably make about ten pieces of clothing."

He Jun made a calculation in his mind: Xu Fu ordered 27 pieces, and made more than 20 pieces with some medium fabrics to test the water first.

"More than 40 pieces of top-grade silk and satin are made, and more than 20 pieces are generally made."

"You can buy four bolts of high-grade silk, and three bolts of medium-grade silk. It is recommended that you buy one bolt each of madder red, weed grass yellow, and indigo in damask.

The damask texture is very good, and the price is not too expensive compared to other silks and satins.

For medium fabrics, you can choose one each of linen, jute, and ramie. "

Seeing that these silk fabrics are soft in texture and bright in color, they are very good for children's lively clothes, so he nodded in agreement.

Finally, shopkeeper Zhou settled the bill: one piece of brocade satin cost two taels of silver, and four pieces cost eight taels of silver. Fortunately, the linen was cheap and only five yuan a piece, and three pieces cost one tael to five hundred cash.

Jing Wen spent eight taels of money on his body, and He Jun also took out the remaining money on his body, and finally settled the bill.

Shopkeeper Zhou: "The two brothers buy so much fabric to make clothes, do you want to open a tailor shop or a tailor shop?"

He Jun: "That's what I mean. Some of the clothes here are ordered by others, and some of them are ready to be sold in the county. I just don't know where to sell them at that time?"

"If you two don't mind the smallness of your temple, you can store it with me for sale temporarily! I have quite a lot of customers here every day. If your clothes sell well, you can also cooperate with me for a long time."

As soon as He Jun heard that this was a good thing, he came to his door, not to mention that it is expensive to find a shop in the county to pay rent.

I only have a few clothes in total and renting a shop is not worth it, besides, shopkeeper Zhou's business is booming and the appearance is big, it is indeed a good place to sell clothes.

He Jun and Jing Wen looked at each other happily, He Jun was very happy.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, that's great. I'm worried about where to sell the clothes after I make them. I never thought that Shopkeeper Zhou would be so enthusiastic. Let's put the clothes here and sell them on behalf of others. Usually, I only sell them for [-] yuan. If it’s good, I’ll sell it for five hundred cash, and if it’s made of better material, I’ll sell it for one or two taels of silver, and I’ll give you some rental money.”

Shopkeeper Zhou smiled and waved his hands again and again.

"No, no, you are also my customers. You buy fabrics from me, and then make clothes and sell them here. You can also bring me customers. We are purely mutual aid, so it's settled."

He Jun repeatedly thanked Jing Wen for moving the silk cloth to the car, and the two felt very refreshed, so they rushed home happily all the way.

As soon as they got home, they told Xu Huizhi and Qin'er the good news.

The two of them were also very excited to receive such a large long-term business.

After all, Xu Huizhi is older, so she has more things to think about. She is a little worried about manpower.

"Although we have received such a large amount of business and bought so much fabric at once, we have to deal with so many ready-made garments to sell, and our mother and I alone may not be able to handle them all at once. This manpower issue has to be considered."

He Jun has really thought about this issue, and now that the issue is on the surface, he can't help but think about it carefully.

Moreover, the issues he considered were not limited to manpower issues, but more and more complicated issues.

... First of all, regarding the style of the clothes, He Jun felt that tailors making children's clothes are too old-fashioned, ordinary and simple.

He Jun wants to change, and he already has an idea in his mind.

... The cutting process must be done by my family, and then the embroidery and pattern design must be drawn by my family.

The better the material, the finer the embroidery work, and you need your own family members or talented people with good craftsmanship.

…The rest of the medium-sized clothing needs to be sewn by hand. The medium-sized clothing is made of ordinary patterns. You can draw the pattern first, but you can find other women to sew and embroider.

He Jun confided his thoughts and discussed with everyone and asked for opinions.

Xu Huizhi nodded in agreement while listening.

"What Jun He said is very reasonable. We do the drawing and finer work by ourselves, and we can find other people to do the rest that are not too difficult.

Mei Xiang can also tailor and embroider. Her son Yuanming is no longer going to the coal mine to dig coal.

Mei Xiang is honest, I can call her to do it with me.

Wang Jinghe, the daughter of Carpenter Wang, is also very good at embroidery and can do some fine work. "

Jing Wen thought for a while and said, "I can ask Aunt Donghua, the wife of the village head, for help. She knows a lot of people and is very popular. I can ask her to introduce us to some good embroidery jobs."

Qin'er was very happy to see this large pile of good silk, and she was very energetic.

"Brother, go quickly, the sooner you recruit people, the sooner you can start work. Mother, let's make the clothes for the young master of the Xu family first."

Xu Huizhi touched the soft damask with a smile on her face.

"This good fabric feels comfortable to the touch, okay, let's start making it now."

Jingwen hurriedly went out to find Aunt Donghua. He Jun wanted to go with him, but he heard that the aunt said that she was going to start tailoring clothes. Said and stayed.

He handed over to Xu Huizhi the clothes measurements he had taken for those young masters and ladies in Xu's mansion.

"Ma'am, Qin'er, I want to make some improvements to the children's clothes, what do you think?"

Both of them had expressions of surprise on their faces, because they knew that Jun He had never studied tailoring, and they didn't know what kind of improvement he was referring to.

"Okay, how do you want to change it?"

Seeing the two of them staring at him closely, He Jun couldn't help but smile shyly, picked up a pen and paper, and began to draw clothes patterns.

In the Nanyue Dynasty, the clothes that children often wore were paired blouses, which were just past the hips, with clever openings on both sides of the hem. sleeve.

He Jun felt that this style was too old-fashioned, so several novel styles had already appeared in his mind.

He drew three clothes patterns according to his own ideas.

The first picture shows a small hakama with a large lapel pullover and long sleeves.

The second picture shows overalls with shoulder straps on the waistband and overalls with shoulder straps.

The third picture shows a round-neck shirt, hip-length, covered with a sleeveless, collarless double-breasted waistcoat.

Xu Huizhi and Qin'er picked up the three pictures, savored them carefully, and praised He Jun greatly.

Qin'er smiled and said to Xu Huizhi: "Mother, this He Jun has never studied tailoring but is so smart, he can't compare you and me who have studied. The clothes he imagined are lively and full of childishness. "

Xu Huizhi was also full of praise.

"He Jun, ma'am, I like you more and more. You said that you have never learned tailoring. How could you conceive such a beautiful dress? I think it will work. This dress is sure to be popular."

He Jun blushed when he was praised by both of them.

"I don't know what's going on, but seeing the children's clothes are too ordinary, this idea popped up in my mind, and I drew it easily. You must give more opinions."

Qin'er: "It's already very good, mother, let's make a few pieces like this, and then embroider the pattern of the round neck shirt on the cuffs, and another one can be embroidered on the generous collar and hem, overalls and suspenders If the skirt already has a striped pattern, it will not be embroidered."

Xu Huizhi: "Well, that's fine, that's it."

Xu Huizhi and Qin'er took the silk cloth into the room to measure and cut it.

He Jun took advantage of this meeting to go to the backyard to make fish feed, and then went to Yueming Ridge to feed the fry.

Jing Wen walked to the village head's house but saw that the door of the village head's house was closed, so he slapped the door and shouted.

"The village head, are Aunt Donghua at home?"
