"No, these are friends, just gave the acquisition price. You can ride back and let Uncle Hu take a look. If it doesn’t work, you can ride it back again."
"Mom didn’t bring money today. Tomorrow Mom will send the money to you."
"Xiao Wan, Mom thanks you." Before leaving, Shen Qing insisted on helping her sell clothes, took a few styles, asked about the price, and rode back.
Lin Wan dared not delay; she heard the weather report last night saying it would cool down the day after tomorrow.
Pants are easy to make, but tops take some effort. Sewing buttons also takes time.
Lin Wan really couldn’t handle it alone, so she pulled Mom in to help her with some tasks in the morning.
"You say, we have a business, have money to spend, why bother with these things and even deal with so much at once." Liang Hongmei came into her room, looking at the bed in the west room piled with fabric, instantly anxious, afraid her daughter would lose money.
"Mom, this is what I studied; in the future, I definitely want to develop in my professional field. The store in our family was opened before I got married; it belongs to my personal family, and I would be embarrassed to take the family’s money. You really should learn more about running the store; in the future, the store in our family will be handed over to you. I will definitely open a clothing factory in the future."
Liang Hongmei glared at her, couldn’t control her, feeling a burst of helplessness, "You’re so confident."
The two families have no shortcut, which is really inconvenient. Liang Hongmei wanted to help the child sew clothes at home, but had to go around a big circle.
More than a dozen clothes, Lin Wan packed them up at night and brought them over, preparing to give each one of them samples to introduce to people.
Who knew, after class, Lin Wan had just taken them out, and a pile of clothes was stacked on the table. The classmates were curious and gathered around.
When the classmates saw the autumn clothes and pants, as well as the nice-looking pajamas, there were also a few who needed them. Lin Wan generously stated the price, seeing it was cheap, they all wanted a set.
These days were so busy with clothes business that even meals weren’t timely.
This noon was busy until more than two o’clock before remembering lunch hadn’t been eaten yet. Lin Wan herself cooked some porridge, ate a bowl, feeling this was not the way, and took some yeast from Mom to make a small basin of dough. She went to the front street to buy two pounds of pork belly and bought green onions, ginger, and these small necessities, thinking of planting some home vegetables when this busy period was over.
Shen Qing rode the bicycle over in the evening, coming to send the money for the bicycle to her.
"I sold all the clothes I took yesterday for you. Here’s the money." Saying this, she stuffed more than twenty yuan into her hand.
"A colleague liked the pajamas, but they didn’t like the lace; they were older and felt embarrassed to wear them like young girls, so let me ask if they could be made without lace."
"There are ones without lace." Lin Wan took out a few pajamas from the bed without the lace added yet and let Shen Qing take a look.
"These are good." As she left, Shen Qing took a few sets of pajamas and a few sets of autumn clothes and pants for older children.
After sending off Shen Qing, Lin Wan remembered the dough she made today, looked at the time and realized it was time to head to school. So, she kneaded the already-made dough again, planning to steam it when she got back from school.
This time, Lin Wan took another twenty or so clothes to school. After other classes found out, quite a few classmates bought them too.
Su Ling’s factory had people who wanted them, and she counted ten or so pieces.
Yin Peibai’s unit might have fewer people, but there were many in the government compound, and they were not short of money.
The majority wanted pajamas. People in the government were quite particular.
Lin Wan didn’t bring enough today, so she arranged to bring more by Monday.
