Happy peasant girl

Chapter 203 Melaleuca Shoes (4)
After several people had seen the drawing papers, Mrs. Sun said something serious to Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Mu.

"Auntie Ye, I heard from Sister Huilan that you want to find some people to teach you how to make cloth shoes with a thousand-ply sole. Is it true?" Some people came to Lao Lin's house these days to ask how to make those kind of cloth shoes with a thousand-ply bottom, but Mrs. Ye just generously gave them the soles he had bought, and just laughed and said nothing about the production method of the soles.

"It's true. Originally, I planned to ask Huilan to ask you guys to come over, but you came here unexpectedly. Huilan, Yingmei, you two will bring Aunt Zhang, Aunt Li, and Aunt Wang from the east of our village together. Please come here, Mrs. Wu, their sewing skills are the best in our village, I will teach you together." Ye said with a smile.

"Aunt Ye, are you telling the truth?" Mrs. Sun was so happy, this was her happiest smile after her son Lin Erhu left.

"That's still fake, and girl Xi said that her senior brother wants to open a shop in the capital, and she will sell these little children's shoes and clothes, and we will all work for him as workers." Now Ye feels that what she is doing is very meaningful. and it can add an extra income to the villagers.

"Xi girl, is this true?" Mrs. Ma couldn't believe it.

"Ms. Ma, of course it is true. Brother has already found a shop in the capital, and he has entrusted me with everything he sells there. I have already written to him to make it clear that the cloth shoes with thousand-ply soles are only available in our Linjia Village. People who know how to make it will never pass it on to outsiders, and let him sell the finished shoes in the capital. He will pay us [-] yuan for a pair of children's shoes, and [-] yuan for a pair of adult shoes. "Lin Qingxi had already roughly calculated the cost and profit. This price is considered fair for both parties, and if the demand in the capital is high, Wei Xuan can also adjust the price.

"Girl Xi, why did Xuan'er pay so much for handwork? Didn't you say that he paid money for the clothes, shoes, and needlework?" Mu didn't think money was hot, but that Wei Xuan If you do this, you will suffer, even if you want to help their family, you don't need to do this.

Mrs. Sun and Mrs. Ma also think the same way. The men in their family only go out to work for [-] to [-] Wen a day, which is still relatively high. Now a pair of children’s shoes are going to Qingxi’s brother who wants to give [-] Wen. There are too many.

"Mother, look at the fancy shapes I drew. There must be none in the capital, let alone our unique mille-ply bottom cloth shoes. Brother, he will definitely not suffer, I guarantee that he can make money!" Although he only sells shoes and clothes, the profits are small but quick turnover, Lin Qingxi believes that as long as Wei Xuan does what she says, a small thousand-ply-soled cloth shoe can earn him a lot of money.

"Little sister, why is the manual cost of adults' shoes different from that of children's shoes? Shouldn't adults' shoes cost more?" Wu asked puzzled.

"Second sister-in-law, the shoes worn by adults are relatively simple, and you don't need to embroider any flowers on them. You just need to put the soles on and sew on the uppers of solid colors such as black and dark blue. But the uppers of children's shoes are different. Not only are the colors expensive, but there are also many styles, such as the little tigers, rabbits, and magpies I painted, it will take a lot of time to actually embroider the uppers." Lin Qingxi thought Just selling children's clothes and children is still too narrow a consumer group. She wants to cover everything, from men to women, from old to young, and to include all kinds of shoes, but now it's time to take the first step steadily.

"Auntie Ye, girl Xi, tell me when you will start working, don't say it's fifty yuan, even if you give me ten yuan, I'm willing to do it!" Madam Ma's family doesn't have much land, and usually relies on two daughters-in-law to sell it. Embroidery makes money, her two daughters-in-law were taught by Qin Zhen'er, so there is nothing to say about embroidery.

"Ms. Ma, don't worry. I have a brother in the capital whose wife is about to give birth in a month. He asked me to give him a big gift. I plan to make the shoes and clothes in this painting and give them to him." Send it over, let’s see what people in the capital say about our thousand-ply-soled cloth shoes and clothes, if it’s good, we’ll have a big fight.” Lin Qingxi was the first to get excited.

She doesn't know exactly how many people there are in Chu State, but if everyone can wear the cloth shoes with thousand-ply soles "produced" in Linjia Village, even if they only pay for the handwork, they will make a lot of money.

"Xi girl, you are right, let's make it quickly, and let the people in the capital see the craftsmanship of the women in our Linjia Village!" Mrs. Ye is now very confident in her shoe sole skills, and she is also very confident in the sewing skills of the women in this village. I understand very clearly.

"Grandmother, because I don't know whether my sister-in-law is a boy or a girl, the shoes should be made into men's shoes and women's shoes, and they should be available in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and the shoe sizes should be different. You often give them to your family, grandma. For making shoes, the size of these shoes should be able to be grasped, right?" Wearing shoes is afraid that they won't fit your feet. When Lin Qingxi made cloth shoes for Lin Ran and Lin Xiang before, he always measured their feet and then cut the soles.

"Xi girl, don't worry, grandma knows what size shoes a child will wear in a few months, and you don't have to worry about the soles of the shoes. Really girl, Ying girl, I'll leave the matter of the child's shoe uppers to me." Here it is for you, it needs to be embroidered to look better, this is our face and cannot be ruined in our hands." Mrs. Ye is very concerned about this gift for Yu Wei and Tong Ningxin's children. A businessman, but Linqingxi's sister-in-law is the daughter of a high official, so she must not let others look down on Linqingxi.

"Aunt Ye, girl Xi, if you think highly of me, I will make the child's clothes. My two daughters-in-law's embroidery skills are not bad, and I also know what size clothes the child should wear." Madam Ma volunteered .

"Aunt Ma, Aunt Zhao, you all have a role in collecting firewood. If the brother's shop opens, I will rely on you in the future. Now let the people in the capital see the craftsmanship of our Linjia Village, and let them see it before their eyes. Liang, come to buy our Linjia Village shoes and clothes." Lin Qingxi said with an exaggerated smile.

"Young girl Xi said that you depend on us. People in our village rely on your family. Whenever there is a good thing in your family, you always think about the big guys. People are full of flesh and blood. Everyone remembers this kindness!" Sun and Mrs. Mu had already trotted back, and the person Ye asked them to look for had also been found.

"What kind of kindness is not kind, you are an old ancestor, if any of you say such unreasonable things in the future, I will not forgive you!" It is rare for Mrs. Ye to tease everyone with a straight face.

"Auntie, I won't say it again, haha!" Sun said with a loud laugh.

Next, a room full of women sat together to discuss how to untie the shoes, put on the soles of shoes, and make clothes. Lin Qingxi felt that her task was almost done, so she returned to Xiyuan.

Although she had already thought about what kind of store she wanted to open in the capital city, and had already arranged gifts for Yu Wei and Tong Ningxin's children, but when the two got married, she didn't give anything, and she always felt sorry.
