299. The clothing team starts work (please ask for another wave of tickets)(2/3)
Shirts, suits, these things can be sold hot from autumn to spring.
Wang Yi went to the ancestral hall in the afternoon after working on the generator.
Outside the ancestral hall, a group of old men looked like bears with faces holding their faces, and the birthday boy stopped talking about the past. He sat on his small bamboo chair and watched the blue sky with a serious face, as if thinking about something important.
No one greeted Wang Yi when he left, and the old people were holding their faces.
Then Wang Yi waved to the big mist behind him. The big mist's left hand bag was also a bag on the right hand, among which the left hand bag was a set of teapots, tea cups and tea leaves.
Wang Yi went to take out the big porcelain teapot and put it down, saying, "Birthday Master, I brought you a big teapot from the city. Look, how big is this pot, there are eight cups to accompany it. In the future, you can use this teapot to make tea when you talk about ancient times."
"This is a box of Zen tea from the Buddha Sea. How do you taste it? This Zen tea has Buddha nature and was planted by the masters in the temple. I heard that this tea has been bright and can drive away evil spirits and shelter, nourish yin and yang, sweat and drive away cold, and has many benefits."
The old men opened their eyes wide when they saw this exquisite white porcelain teapot.
The birthday boy didn't look at the sky anymore. He looked at the teapot and then at the large box of tea that Wang Yi put down.
The tea box is very exquisite.
There is also a golden Buddha shining on it!
The old man was not stupid, and guessed the purpose of Wang Yi's gift, and said, "The old saying goes, show your kindness, be diligent if you have nothing to do, either you are a traitor or a thief. Xiangwen is a kid. Are you afraid that you will go to the ancestral hall to make trouble?"
"Don't worry, we are not confused yet, and we won't be able to pull our production team or our Wang family."
Wang Yi was really relieved when he heard this. Then he picked up the teapot and said, "Bird Birthday Master, look at what you said, really, you hurt people, how many grandpas and uncles, are you? Is it hurt people's hearts when Birthday Master said this?"
"Look at me, I'm thinking about you and the birthday party. I think the weather is going to be cold. It's the beginning of autumn. It's Mid-Autumn Festival soon. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the little wind whizzes on our island. It's not comfortable to bask in the sun outside at this time."
"But if you can drink a cup of hot tea, your mouth is fragrant and your body is warm, so you will feel comfortable."
"So I specially bought a teapot and tea cup to honor you, and asked someone to buy Zen tea from Fohai for you to taste."
"What's the result? The birthday boy said this. Really, the old saying is good. A good word warms up in three winters, and a bad word hurts people in six months!"
He pointed at his heart and slashed at the old man: "It's uncomfortable here, the weather is so hot, I'm so cold here."
"I'd better take away the teapot and tea leaves in this way. I'll use it for the women in our garment shop. They have to drink tea anyway."
A group of old men made him stunned.
An old man subconsciously said, "You shouldn't say this to Birthday Master. Your child is filial to us, and hey, hey, don't take it away, Birthday Master is just making trouble with you."
"Yes, the birthday boy is joking. He likes to joke. Don't take it away. What tea should women drink? This is Zen tea, and I am not close to women."
"You speak, please speak."
The old birthday star hurriedly said, "I'm just having fun with you. You kid, you said you took it seriously. This teapot is not bad. I'll take a look at the tea leaves, hey, it's so fragrant."
He opened the tea bucket and sniffed it, and the goatee on his chin was trembling.
The other old people came up to smell it, and then smiled happily: "It smells so fragrant, this tea tastes so good."
"Zen tea is very famous in Fohai. When I was young, I drank it when I went to Fohai to sell fishing nets, and my stomach was warm."
No one cares about who was in the ancestral hall anymore, their attention was attracted by the teapot and tea leaves.
The old people quickly agreed and found the youngest old man to come home to bring a pot of water to make tea. Today I will have to drink tea!
When Wang Yi entered the ancestral hall, the women were familiar with the sewing machines. More than a dozen women were watching the novelty around the five sewing machines.
Huang Xiaohua was also inside. When she saw Wang Yi, she smiled and asked, "Teacher Wang, what did you say to the birthday boy outside just now? Do they still don't want us to stay here?"
Wang Yi waved his hand: "No, they are happy to let you stay here and work now."
"Come on, sisters-in-law, aunts, listen to me, our company has a sales team, and now you form a clothing team."
"The branch secretary has already said that you are the most popular female in our team..."
"What is female red?" Huang Xiaohua asked.
Sun Aiping said: "The one who is sewing and patching is the female red."
Wang Yi said: "It's almost the same. Anyway, you are the best at sewing and mending. Some of them can use sewing machines. Then we will produce clothes together from now on."
Sun Aiping asked worriedly: "But Teacher Wang, we have never learned how to make clothes. Can we make good clothes like those in the clothing factory? They are all made by machines, right?"
Wang Yi smiled and said, "Aunt, you don't understand it now. Good clothes are always made by hand, and machines can make clothes, but the quality and comfort are definitely not as good as handmade clothes!"
A girl named Jinhua nodded and said, "Yes, I read in the People's Pictorial that the best clothes abroad are hand-sewn by famous tailors, but they are not called tailors, they are called dressmakers."
Wang Yi said: "Yes, you will definitely not be able to make shirts and suits suddenly now. You will definitely not look good. I have a clear idea of this."
"But practice makes perfect. After you make 100 or 200 pieces of clothes, you will feel relaxed and simple when making shirts and suits. If you don't believe it, try it."
He did a job mobilization, and the women gradually gained confidence and prepared to learn to make shirts and suits as students in class.
Wang Yi waved his hand and said, "You have to eat food in one bite, and you have to walk step by step. Don't be anxious. We don't just make shirts and suits, let's make fake collars first!"
"Make a fake collar? I can do this." Huang Xiaohua said positively.
Several women nodded: "I will do it too."
The fake collar is the darling of the times, but when the times pass, it will turn from a darling into an abandoned son.
Nowadays, fake collars are popular, and it is difficult to explain this thing clearly in one sentence. It is actually a real collar, but it is not just a collar, but also a partial top, with the components including the front closure, the back flap, buttons, and buttonholes.
The most common thing for men is the fake collar of a shirt. It is vividly part of a shirt with a collar and surrounding parts, but no sleeves or the like.
According to rumors, the fake collar was invented by the people of Shanghai, Comrade Lu Xun said, "Face is the spiritual program of the Chinese people."
People in Shanghai really talk about face. Since the last decade, it is unreasonable for young people to not have a shirt.
Especially when it is cold, you have to wear a sweater. You have to wear a shirt with a sweater. If you don’t have a shirt, you will not have a collar. This outfit is called ‘monk collar’.
If a gay man dressed like this in the seventies, he would soon get a nickname:
The person with the surname Sun is called Monk Sun, and the person with the surname Chen is called Monk Chen. If the surname Zhu is your fortune, your nickname will be Zhu Yuanzhang.
The women who brought up the fake collar production team were excited. They all made fake collars for themselves and the men at home.
Because the cloth used for making fake collars is called scallops, which is the scraps left after the cloth is cut. This thing is cheap without a cloth ticket, and is very popular among farmers.
Wang Yi said: "We start with fake collars and then take them to the county and city for sales."
Sun Aiping asked: "Teacher Wang, every household in the city has fake collars, who would buy these things?"
Wang Yi explained: "I didn't ask you to make fake collars to make money. What is this for? It's to use sewing machines proficiently. But the fake collars we made cannot be wasted. Take them to the city to sell at a cheap price. How much you can earn is calculated."
"But before making fake collars, there is a simpler outfit for you to make, that is a T-shirt."
Wang Yi waved to Da Mihu, who put the big snake skin bag in his right hand on the table and opened it.
It is full of polyester cloth and cotton cloth.
The reason why I use sheets as a unit is that these polyester and cotton cloths have been cut, just two T-shirts. Sew them to make a complete T-shirt.
This is a semi-finished product that Wang Yi asked Qiu Danian's parents to help him, and it is specially used by the staff of the clothing team.
Including shirts and suits, he also started with semi-finished products, allowing women to learn to make finished products with semi-finished products first, and then make cloth into clothes.
Such clothes must be a bit bad in shape, but what bicycle do ordinary people in 1982 want?
Now it’s no exaggeration to say that the supply and marketing cooperative sells a pair of shoes, one size 40 and the other size 42. As long as you talk about bargaining, you will be snatched away immediately!
Too short of supplies.
Wang Yi distributed the T-shirt sheet to the employees and asked them to combine the two pieces into one, and then everyone understood Wang Yi's meaning.
Sewing two pieces of cloth together into a piece of clothing was simple for them, and they immediately divided the work and began to work hard.
There are now five sewing machines, and Wang Xianghong has selected fourteen women. In this way, Wang Yi asked everyone to take turns using sewing machines and use this machine first.
Huang Xiaohua's family is poor and has no sewing machines, but her brothers and sisters-in-law have them.
Sometimes she would have a shameless attitude to borrow someone's sewing machine to make up clothes. Her brothers and sisters-in-law were unwilling to lend it to her, so they said that they had no time to let her use it themselves.
As a result, her mother knew how to use it, and she taught her. Later, she borrowed her relative's sewing machine to sew clothes by herself, including changing urea pants to her daughter with urea bags, all of which was her own craft.
Huang Xiaohua's technology of using sewing machines is considered good in the team. She was busy stepping on the pedals lightly. As the sound of "da da da da da", the T-shirt was pressed with fine needle holes and dense stitches were sewn.
The two women watching couldn't help but praise him after seeing it: "The sewing machine is such a good thing. This machine is so good. Look at how fine and neat the pins are."
Huang Xiaohua smiled and said, "And it's fast."
She ran the sides of the T-shirt first, and then half-sleeved. She looked around for a few times and realized that the "da da da da" sounded, and a T-shirt was formed.
Wang Yi put it on and tried it, it was pretty good.
He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Sister-in-law Xiaohua, please teach your experience to your colleagues. Just do it like this, everyone should do it as soon as possible. If you do it, I will take it to the store to sell it."
"Do you want to sell this in our team?" Sun Aiping asked while busy.
Wang Yi said: "Yes, if you sell it in the team, the cost price of the fabric plus the handmade fee of one dollar for the sewing box, and different fabrics are sold for three to five yuan per piece."
When the women heard this, they laughed: "Is our craft worth one dollar?"
Wang Yi said: "In the future, your skills are worth twenty yuan! Make a suit and you will earn twenty yuan for the production team!"
The women were energetic.
They were talking: "I don't know how many suits we can make a day..."
"How many pieces? It's amazing to be able to make one piece a day. You can earn twenty yuan by making a suit. If you make thirty pieces a month, it's six hundred yuan!"
