Chapter 246: cheap labor 22
Miao's sister-in-law's words reminded Wang Qingqing that in these years everyone advocates hardship and simplicity, and there is nothing to do if you don't. The whole country is poor, even the top leaders wear patched clothes, and ordinary people are more Needless to say, basically every piece of clothing has patches, and it is not uncommon for patches to be stacked on top of each other.
This patching naturally requires fabric, which cannot be used to make fake collar fabrics, isn’t it just suitable for patching?
I packed it up and took a piece of fine cloth and bundled it up and handed it to Sister-in-law Miao: "Sister-in-law, if I asked you to buy this bundle of cloth for 30 cents, would you buy it?"
The soles of the shoes are a little expensive, so you don't have to worry about finding fabrics of the same color to mend your clothes.
Now, the housewife who is in charge of dressing and sewing for a family of young and old is seldom unmoved when she sees this bundle of cloth heads.
"Excellent!" Wang Qingqing clapped both hands and pointed at the old high scrap pile: "This pile of scrap can also be exchanged for money."
Sister Miao's eyes lit up: "How much can I exchange for this lot?"
Mother Miao was stunned: "Here, you also want to sell this patch? How embarrassing? It's just some patches, how can I get money from others?"
The family ran out of food, so I came to my house with a bowl to scoop up a bowl of noodles. Mother Miao went to someone else's house to borrow a cloth head, and she was borrowed by others. Although everyone is poor, they are not in these two pieces of cloth head. Go on, now the girl wants to sell the cloth head that can be borrowed at will, what Miao mother thinks, why does she feel uneasy.
"Oh mother, why can't I sell it?" Wang Qingqing picked up the scissors with a smile and started trimming: "These rags are all bought by me, I can spend Money can buy it, why can’t others buy it?”
"Yes, Mom, it's all money. If you always want to give it away, just take some and give it to the old neighbors you have a good relationship with. That's it." Sister-in-law Miao picked up the scissors and started to work: "With such a half-room, you can't give everything away, right? How good would it be to exchange it for money?"
Both sons were pulled back from school to help with the work.
Wang Qingqing prepared a fake collar and a patch pack for sale. When the patch pack was almost ready, it was time to sell. Riding a brand-new bicycle sent by Wang Qingqing to and from Tiexi and the railway station, he delivered the finished goods one by one to the warehouse of the railway station.
This patch kit is attractive to Mrs. Miao and other housewives. For women of this age, the more technical skills of cutting and making clothes may not be possessed by everyone , but the basic skills of removing and washing cotton-padded clothes and quilts, sewing buttons, mending socks, and patching are unequivocal for everyone.
When Wang Qingqing sells fake collars, she will recommend the "patch pack" she invented to lesbians. Although this "patch pack" has different shapes and colors, it does not appear after trimming. What a mess, the lesbians took a look at it, and there were few that were unimpressive. It was only three cents, and they couldn’t buy a foot of cloth. This bundle weighed two pounds, and they didn’t need cloth tickets. But after all, it is a useful thing, and it is also very cost-effective. Wang Qingqing is so tongue-in-cheek, and under her recommendation, few people refuse to buy it.
After the lesbians bought Wang Qingqing, they started targeting the remaining male compatriots: "You see that the lesbians next door have bought them, you don't bring a bundle for your daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, and mother-in-law? Although this gift is cheap, But I can guarantee that if you bring it back, the lesbians in the family will praise you with a smile. If you don't believe me, try it? If your wife doesn't praise you, you can stomp and call me Xiaomiao a **** who runs a train with your mouth full."
Thirty cents, it's not too expensive. First of all, it's not expensive for **** men. What's the use of a bunch of rags? Patch? Oh! Don't I have a patch cloth head at home yet? But seeing that the lesbians next door happily paid the money, the male comrades couldn't help but put a question mark in their hearts, this...Is it really useful to take it home?
When I heard Wang Qingqing say that I can get praise from my daughter-in-law again, the **** men were even more excited. The daughter-in-law of roast duck and roast chicken who spent a lot of money on it was disgusted by talking about spending money. If you have a good word, it is also a good deal. If you don't say it, buy it! Therefore, although this "patch pack" is not as popular as the fake collar, the sales volume is not bad, and the sales are quite fast.
This time there was a lot of goods and the support time was relatively long. Wang Qingqing sold the goods for almost three days before they were sold out. Only the patch package was sold for more than 300 yuan.
With these more than 300 yuan, Wang Qingqing was overjoyed. She cleaned up the rags of the garment factory, but only spent less than 200 yuan, only the patch bag was earned from this project The money will get the principal back, and the remaining fake collar money is pure profit!
When the per capita monthly income was around 30 yuan, this was a real huge sum of money!
When everything was sold out, Wang Qingqing went to the black market in the grove beside the bridgehead outside Xicheng, and bought all the refined grains and meat and eggs at once.
Seven or eight chickens and ducks fluttered in the sack, Wang Qingqing waved: "Kill them all!"
, why kill them all? Keep them, and kill one a month."
"Mom, I bought eggs and duck eggs, and we don't expect them to lay eggs." Wang Qingqing took out a kitchen knife and killed three chickens neatly: "There are too many people in the family, and killing less is not enough. eat."
Mother Miao looked at the three chickens kicking on the ground and twitching their legs, but unfortunately she had to beat her chest. Sister Miao hurriedly sent her eldest son to the work unit to ride a bicycle to inform Brother Miao that he was coming from get off work Tiexi was eating here, and he was busy going to the kitchen to boil water to scald the chicken feathers. He was more active in his work than anyone else.
The family had dinner, worked for a while, and then drove the children away to sleep. Wang Qingqing held a meeting for the whole family in the auxiliary room that served as a workshop, before she waited for her to put a bundle of After taking out another bundle of banknotes, Sister Miao was flushed with excitement and her breath was short.
Miao's sister-in-law, with trembling hands, grabbed the money on the table and touched it twice, and she quickly retracted her hand as if she was scalded, she tightly grasped Wang Qingqing's arm: "His aunt, this is , We earned all this money?"
It's no wonder Mrs. Miao was excited. There were no hundred-yuan bills in this era, and the largest denomination bill was the ten-yuan "Great Unity". Because Wang Qingqing's money was obtained from selling goods, it was changed in small bills. Most of them, more than 2,000 yuan was piled up on a small table to form a hill. When did Mrs. Miao see this battle?
Don't say 2,000, it's 20,000, and you can earn 200,000."
"Two thousand?" Sister-in-law Miao picked up a bundle of money and touched it: "Your eldest brother's annual salary is more than 400, and we will earn your eldest brother's salary for five years in half a month? It's too, too…”
She was too late for a long time to come out. After the initial excitement, Father Miao spoke first: "No one is allowed to talk about the money made in the family." He said He stared at Sister Miao: "Especially you, even if you go back to your parents' house, you can't tell about it, do you know?"
Sister Miao bit her lip and felt a little resentful, why would she order me alone? Am I just that quick mouth?
With a lot of money, who would know that this job is not hot?"
That's true, the section leader of the comprehensive section earns more than 80 yuan a month, and it is said that the provincial governor only earns two or three hundred yuan a month, three people plus two non-staff personnel, half I earn more than 2,000 a month, and anyone who talks about this income will be stunned.
"There are more people than us who have the skills and connections. If this profit is known, will our family be able to keep this job?" Father Miao asked Mrs. Miao: " You say, is my concern justified?"
Why not? Makes sense!
Sister Miao has a heart for this kind of thing, because elder brother Miao is a regular worker in the comprehensive section, so she is a bit more confident than others by doing odd jobs in the comprehensive section. She doesn't have much work to do and doesn't need so many temporary workers, so she will always be the last batch.
My sister-in-law's raw materials were bought in a garment factory. If the employees of the factory knew about this way of making money, would it be my sister-in-law's turn to buy this rag head?
The railway bureau has a large unit and more leaders. Which section leader, station leader, and director are not more powerful and powerful than their family? People didn't notice this single work, if they leaked the word and were known, it was just a matter of words, and their family might not be able to get the license to get on the car and sell goods again. My husband is right, this matter must be kept secret!
"Dad, his aunt." Sister Miao looked serious: "Don't worry, I promise that no one will tell her, and I won't tell her mother."
"Sister-in-law, it's too wise for you to think so." After Wang Qingqing praised Mrs. Miao, she waved her hand: "Let's share the money!"
"After deducting the cost of raw materials, the cost of renting sewing machines and the cost of handing over to the railway bureau, we will make a net profit of 1,673 yuan and 50 cents."
"Dahua and Erhua have helped them a lot, and they have worked hard for them." Miao Qingqing pushed a pile of change to Mrs. Miao: "These seventy-three yuan and five are for the two nephews."
"That won't work." Sister Miao frowned: "I used to work so hard to wash sheets and quilts for a month to earn more than ten yuan, and they made more than seventy yuan after cutting the cloth for a few days. Dollars? How can there be such a good thing!"
"Two yuan for each of them is a lot." Sister Miao took out four yuan from a pile of loose change introduced by Wang Qingqing: "This yard is rented by you, we both It costs money to eat and live with you, as well as water, electricity, and sanitation, and these tens of dollars can be used to subsidize your expenses.”
Wang Qingqing didn't expect Sister Miao to be so reasonable, she was stunned for a moment and quickly thanked: "Sister-in-law is careful, and she still loves me. Thank you so much, sister."
"It's all a family." Sister-in-law Miao coughed uncomfortably: "What are you talking about?"
"Okay, the family is not polite." Wang Qingqing smiled and put out two hundred yuan to Miao's father: "Dad not only helps us with cutting, but also cooks for us, you It's been hard work, you can use these two hundred dollars to buy cigarettes."
"And my money?" Father Miao excitedly brought the money to him: "Give it to me and I will take it, two hundred a month, hey, it's better than going to work after retirement. Much more."
Wang Qingqing gave out another 400 yuan to Miao's mother: "This is your mother, you have always helped us a lot, thank you, you can't just say, this money is a gift for you , to buy wheat milk powder to nourish and nourish the body.”
"This is the first time in my life that I have seen so much money." Mother Miao also smiled and brought the money to her: "Thanks to my daughter, I can sleep with this money at night."
"If you are willing, you can spread the money on the bed and sleep." Wang Qingqing laughed, and pushed Sister Miao a lot of money: "These five hundred yuan are for you, sister-in-law, This month, you have put in a lot of effort, thank you very much."
Miao's sister-in-law had been waiting impatiently for a long time. The banknotes were pushed in front of her, and she repeatedly touched her mouth and muttered: "I've made a fortune, this is a real fortune."
Wang Qingqing smiled and put the remaining money in front of her: "The remaining five hundred will belong to me, do you have any opinions?"
"No opinion." Sister Miao took the lead: "If it weren't for you, where would we find this way to make a lot of money?" I took out five pieces of Great Unity from my pile and handed them to Wang Qingqing: "This fifty, give it to Er Niu, don't look at the girl's smallness, she really has a lot of work, it makes no sense that we all have the money, let me The girl is empty-handed."
Sister Miao's move once again surprised Wang Qingqing. She took the fifty yuan and thanked Sister Miao seriously: "Thank you for thinking about Er Niu, I will save this money for her. ."
My sister-in-law is here to apologize to you. Your lord, please bear with me. Don’t know me in the same way. Now that you are divorced, your parents’ home is still your home, your parents-in-law are still your parents, your elder brother is still your backer, and my sister-in-law is me. I also promise not to quarrel with you again, you will make money in the future, but you must take me with you!"
Really realistic! Wang Qingqing laughed, but this kind of person is straightforward and can get along well with her pulse, which is much better than those who smile at you and stab you with their backs.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry." Wang Qingqing nodded solemnly to Miao's sister-in-law: "I don't mention the past, our family has a small population, and we are more united than other families. If there is a way to make money, you must be a part of it."
"Oh, it's still auntie, you are so arrogant!" With Wang Qingqing's assurance, Mrs. Miao smiled so hard that she couldn't see her eyes: "Thank you, sister-in-law, in the future Erniu will be my daughter, and Dahua Erhua will be my daughter. Her maiden brother."
"Hey, with your words, sister-in-law, the second girl is guaranteed not to be bullied by her husband's family when she gets married." Wang Qingqing laughed happily: "The two parents' brothers, we have a backer."
In a few words, my aunt and sister-in-law let go of their previous suspicions. Brother Miao and his wife entered the room where they slept. They closed the door and counted the money while discussing how to spend so much money. There is a way Whether it is to buy a set of yard and let the youngest son move out after marriage, or to be fair, just buy a set of yard for each of the two sons.
Leaving Miao's parents and Miao's mother to look at each other, Miao's mother gave Wang Qingqing the 400 yuan allocated to herself: "I am old, where can I spend so much money, you take it Let's go back."
"What's the matter, Mom?" Wang Qingqing looked at Miao's mother in surprise: "It's for you to spend, and you give it to me, what's this called?"
"Qingqing, you stupid child." Miao mother sighed: "You seem to have come easily with this money, but after all, it is not the same as regular work, it is not stable, Can you buy ingredients every time? You can sell them every time? Can you do this job for the rest of your life?"
"Your mother is right." Father Miao nodded: "After all, doing business is not as safe as going to work. You take this money, even if you can't earn it in the future. You can also have some leeway."
Miao's parents' love for their daughter is so real, Wang Qingqing's eyes can't help but turn red: "Thank you Dad."
The small courtyard rented by Wang Qingqing in the first district of the south is full of joy after earning money, joy and joy of resolving conflicts between relatives, and the warmth of parents for their children, and the road is separated by a road. In the Peng's small courtyard in the South Second District, there is a completely different atmosphere.
Peng Dayuan's face was hideous, and he pointed at the wicked egg with a belt in his hand and scolded: "You little bastard, kneel down for Lao Tzu!"
