Chapter 65: The bitterness of Chinese cabbage 18 is delicious and spicy
A slim man in his fifties raised a wine glass to Luo Qingqing, Luo Qingqing raised his tea cup and touched him, he lifted his neck and stuffed it out of the glass After drinking, he blushed and said: "Boss Luo, thanks to you, our factory was able to receive this order. It's too cheap to say thank you. I'll make you eight colors of the silk crepe de chine you want. , give you away for nothing."
"No no no, this is not acceptable." Luo Qingqing waved his hands again and again: "If you want to send ordinary plain cotton, I will take it directly, silk crepe de chine will not work, such a batch I took the high-end materials for nothing, not to mention the labor, how much do you have to lose for the raw materials?
The gentle man put down his glass and added tea to Luo Qingqing diligently: "Boss Luo, don't feel embarrassed, this is an old rule in our business field, how can we let the middleman do it for nothing? Do you want to accept it? This batch of materials, I can only give you a red envelope."
"Director Xu, you are too serious." Luo Qingqing continued to refuse with a smile: "As you know, my shop is a small business and requires a large number of materials and a small quantity, and other textile factories do not like it. How much did you help me with my business when I first opened the shop? If it weren't for you, how could I have found such a complete range of fabrics? This business is just a coincidence, it's just a coincidence, you don't have to worry about it."
"Hey! Boss Luo's words are bad." The thin director Xu shook his head again and again: "How come there are so many coincidences? Why don't others give me a coincidence order? If not for this Heart, the opportunity is in front of you, others are too lazy to pay for it, you have to accept this batch of materials no matter what."
"I will not accept the material." As soon as Luo Qingqing said it, Director Xu became anxious. Luo Qingqing smiled and waved his hand to stop Director Xu from saying: "If you are really sorry, Just give me a discount, we will deal with each other for a long time in the future, and the water will continue to flow, and this discount will not be old or young."
Director Xu nodded and said to Luo Qingqing after a little thought: "It's still Boss Luo's thoughtful thinking, discounts are fine, it's easy to operate, I'll give you a call for any orders from Boss Luo in the future. 20% off."
"Thank you, Director Xu." Luo Qingqing raised the teacup to clink glasses with Director Xu: "It's a pleasure to cooperate."
"Happy cooperation!" Director Xu suffocated another glass of wine.
After the business is finished, we eat. The host, Director Xu, introduces the dishes on the table to Luo Qingqing one by one. After introducing various special dishes, he diligently adds tea and pours water. Eat and drink politely.
After eating and drinking, there are still a lot of Dongpo elbows and sauce-flavored beef on the table. People in this era are not willing to waste. Pack up the leftovers.
Director Xu screwed the lid of the remaining half bottle of liquor and put it under his armpit, insisting that Luo Qingqing pack the two leftovers.
"I won't take it." Luo Qingqing shook his head again and again: "I'm the only one at home, the weather is hot, it's a pity that I can't finish eating it, it's a pity, you should take it back and add another one for the child. vegetable."
Director Xu saw that Luo Qingqing really didn't want it, so he carried the oiled paper bag and smiled: "Then I'm welcome."
Luo Qingqing waved goodbye to Director Xu, got on the tram and went back.
When she was at Sun's house, she held a heart day and night, and the attitude of Sun Pingchuan, who had always been lukewarm to her, changed drastically. Luo Qingqing keenly sensed something was wrong.
Sun Pingchuan came back in the middle of the night, and the lights were not lit when he came back. Apart from himself, Luo Qingqing couldn't think of anything else to be so cautious about the couple.
Luo Qingqing immediately became vigilant, she was afraid that these two would make a trick, unless she saw the rice from the cauldron, she would not eat anything else.
As the old saying goes, a dog can’t stop eating shit, and Zhao Xiuyun can’t stop hating Luo Qingqing. Zhao Xiuyun, who has always hated Luo Qingqing so much, is suddenly so enthusiastic that Luo Qingqing doesn’t doubt her intentions .
The Sun family's moths kept coming out one after another. Seeing that the couple was about to put a trap on him, why would Luo Qingqing wait dumbly for the rope to wrap around his neck?
Only a thousand-day thief, how can a thousand-day prevent a thief? This time I have escaped, and I don't know what other bad moves are waiting for me later. The Sun family can't stay, and must leave immediately.
Luo Qingqing often goes to the commune to look for newspapers. She knows that the policy has changed now, and the leaders have made "important speeches" several times to develop the economy. This is a good time to start a business. What are the ink marks of the Sun family? Wouldn't it be better to live your own free life first, until eighteen years later, when the people involved gather at the Sun's family and come back?
So Luo Qingqing packed up her belongings. She used a pack of "Ximei" cigarettes to get a stamped blank certificate in the commune. After thinking for a long time, I chose Miishi as my destination.
When he arrived at the sea market, Luo Qingqing chose a place to stay, and took the family search certificate filled out by himself to register his residence at the street office.
Father Luo has been an apprentice for 20 years, and has opened a tailor shop for more than 20 years. Luo Qingqing was rolling in the pile of fabrics as soon as she was born. As the only daughter of Father Luo, Father Luo taught her everything, and she has talent herself. Luo Qingqing is quite accomplished in tailoring.
Since the original body's strengths are here, Luo Qingqing didn't bother, she quickly rented a shop with the help of the eldest sister of the street office.
The signboard of Roche's tailor shop was hung up, and many customers came to ask questions. Luo Qingqing was very flexible, and she was very good at dealing with people. She was very skilled, and soon her tailor Shop has made a name for itself in this piece.
She has a good reputation, and Luo Qingqing, who has a lot of business in the tailor shop, can't take over.
Luo Qingqing asked the hired master to be responsible for the customization and processing of daily clothes, and she turned to found a "Luo's" to specialize in cheongsam.
And sexy, most can show femininity.
Luo Qingqing has a soft figure and good looks. When the cheongsam is ready, she puts it on first, and it immediately becomes a scene on this commercial street.
Although the cheongsam is good, there are not many people who come to do it. Now that the reform and opening up has just begun, the bat shirts and flared jeans from Hong Kong Island quickly attracted the attention of young people, leading the way of young people. trend.
The cheongsam is less attractive to young people than the colorful trendy clothes. Most of the people who have feelings for the cheongsam are older people. These people are used to being cautious. Now the government Just let go of this hole, who knows where the next gust of wind will blow?
The old master in charge of other daily clothes was anxious to persuade Luo Qingqing: "Boss, it's not as good as before, how many people dare to wear cheongsam? This cheongsam business doesn't make money, you might as well Close it and concentrate on making clothes."
Luo Qingqing was not in a hurry at all, first made herself a cheongsam of various fabrics and lengths to wear every day, and then specially made many samples to hang.
Occasionally customers who enter the store are surprised by her pricing, she will smile and explain to the customer with a particularly kind attitude: "There is a reason for being expensive, I am a high-end cheongsam hand-sewn, all styles There is only one piece, and it fits your body perfectly, and you absolutely don’t have to worry about bumping into people’s shirts when you wear it.”
Having said that, the cheongsam business has not improved at all for two or three months.
Luo Qingqing's business turned around six months ago. Luo Qingqing, who had been sitting on the bench in the cheongsam business for a few months, welcomed her nobleman, a wife of an ambassador.
The ambassador's wife is about to follow her husband to go abroad to take office. The new China is in full swing, and it is time to show itself internationally. As the ambassador's wife, it is inevitable to attend some important occasions. The ambassador's wife Reluctant to wear western clothes, she chose her own clothing style - cheongsam.
My clothes represent the face of the country. The ambassador's wife must be cautious. She traveled all over the sea market and finally chose Luo Qingqing.
Before liberation, Haishi was a well-known and prosperous city in China. There are many masters of cheongsam. Luo Qingqing has one advantage compared with others - she is brave in innovation.
Luo Qingqing is a person who has been influenced by the aesthetic culture of later generations. Each piece of cheongsam she makes has its own unique design.
The ambassador's wife immediately fell in love with Luo Qingqing's craftsmanship, she praised Luo Qingqing: "novel and not rigid, each piece is so different."
The ambassador's wife ordered more than 20 cheongsams from Luo Qingqing, and Luo Qingqing made them for three months.
The cheongsam pays attention to a close-fitting cheongsam. The ambassador's wife went back and forth to Luo Qingqing's store to measure the size and discuss the materials. She also brought a few customers to Luo Qingqing. After finishing the order for the ambassador's wife, Luo Qingqing's business has become regular, and her high-end handmade custom name has also been released.
Luo Qingqing's cheongsam business began to make a profit, far more than the ordinary tailor shop she opened next door.
The tram clacked to the stop, Luo Qingqing got off the train and arrived at her shop within two steps.
The small building on the second floor is brightly lit, the old master and the young man are seven or eight people, no matter who sees her, they greet her warmly: "The boss is back!"
Luo Qingqing nodded and smiled, no wonder the guys liked her, because Luo Qingqing is really popular, she is a generous boss.
Not only do the masters have guaranteed minimum wages and commissions, but even apprentices who can only do some chores have generous bonuses. In Luo Qingqing, as long as people are diligent and hardworking, they can Get a salary no less than that of a regular worker in a foreign state-owned factory.
In addition to the high salary, the benefits of working in her store are good. There are rice dumplings on the Dragon Boat Festival, moon cakes on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and red envelopes on the New Year's Eve. What employee would not like such a generous boss?
Luo Qingqing greeted the enthusiastic guys one by one and went back to her exclusive workshop. She sat in front of the workbench, picked up the brush, and drew a sketch, looking at the sketch satisfaction She nodded, made a few more detailed revisions, and then settled on the final draft. She began to cut clothes according to the drawing after the draft was finalized. The lights on her windowsill didn't go out until midnight.
In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the year. After finishing the peak period of "New Year's clothes", Luo Qingqing distributed the last month's salary and New Year's benefits to the old masters and the little guys, and gave them all a vacation.
The employees in the shop were sent away, and Luo Qingqing was left alone in the second-floor building, and she began to check the account for the shop.
After stocking the goods and then reconciling the accounts, Luo Qingqing spent three days to calculate her income for the year. It is not ignorant, but she was shocked. For more than half a year, her tailor The shop makes a lot of money, and it can make more than 40,000 profits.
In this era when the per capita salary is only 30 yuan, more than 40,000 yuan can be regarded as a huge sum of money.
Luo Qingqing took the key to open the safe, took out all the banknotes that she had arranged and bundled on weekdays and counted it carefully. , couldn't help but count the banknotes again.
When Luo Qingqing was happily counting money, Sun Pingchuan and his wife were also counting money.
