Seeing the wool yarn, Lin Wan thought of last year’s sweater selling business.
S City is colder, sweaters and wool pants will definitely sell well. Thinking of this, Lin Wan went in and bought over ten pounds of various colors of wool yarn.
Wow, in the big city, the price of wool yarn is even a few cents more expensive; with over ten pounds of wool yarn, she specially got some wool vouchers last year when selling sweaters and brought them with her today while shopping.
Selling so much wool yarn at once in the middle of summer made the salesperson overjoyed, she even gifted a few assorted needles and half a tael of extra yarn upon departure.
Lin Wan was equally delighted.
When she returned home in the evening, Liang Hongmei saw her daughter bought so much yarn and understood her intentions, "Busy all day at the shop during the day and knitting sweaters at night, what if you wear out your body at such a young age?"
"Mom, I’m not tired, besides at night when it’s hot I can’t sleep, when the weather gets cold, sweaters will definitely sell well, I will knit a bit when I’m free and put them outside the shop to try selling them when it gets cold."
"Alright, but don’t overwork yourself." Last year her daughter sold a few sweaters and indeed made quite a bit of money. Liang Hongmei, not wanting her daughter to be exhausted, planned to pause from reading and help Lin Wan knit a few pieces at night.
But Lin Wan was adamantly against it, "Mom, you should sleep early, you have to wake up early tomorrow; our business at the morning market isn’t bad now, you wake up so early every day and work all day, staying up late at night, how can you handle that?"
After a busy day, she would go home at night and draw her desired designs on paper.
Her brother’s shirts and pants are quite ordinary, actually, mom’s figure is quite nice, but nowadays people wear wide, dark clothes which don’t show it off.
The family used to be poor, mom hadn’t worn much good clothing, it was all patched and scrapped together, only last year did their family have the means to buy a few clothes.
She made a short-sleeve and a pair of overalls, but without a sewing machine at home, the clothes didn’t look nice.
Lin Wan didn’t work futilely in the garment factory in her past life, the simple cutting was no longer a problem.
After cutting the family’s clothes at home, Lin Wan took them to the tailor shop the next day to have them made.
Three sets of clothing, workmanship cost a total of three yuan.
Spending so much in one go, and making several sets of clothes every year, this wasn’t a good deal.
Now with some savings on hand, Lin Wan thought of visiting the second-hand market when she had time to see if there were any sewing machines for sale.
Business was getting better lately, the initial investment had been recouped after two months.
Lin Wan got another savings account here and deposited the money.
With this pace, she might become a ten-thousand-yuan household within one or two years.
By the end of August, Lin Wan held another promotional event, with lunch dishes in the shop all at special prices — twenty percent off, limited to three days.
After three days, Lin Wan and Lin Yinghui were dizzy from the rush; there was no leaving the shop at midday.
Table turnover rate tripled, they could change the table three times in one afternoon, the hospital orders also increased significantly.
Lin Yinghui delivered meals starting at eleven thirty, usually finishing at around one o’clock.
They made over a hundred just during those three days. Seeing her brother overwhelmed, the mother and three children discussed briefly and hired someone.
Lin Wan initially hoped to hire a man, but after recruiting for two days, no one applied.
Five days later, a girl came to apply; as she entered, Lin Wan was somewhat worried seeing her stature, about one hundred seventy pounds for one meter sixty-seven, round and stocky; how could she be fit for the
