I trade in both worlds

Fortunately, small and micro enterprises have a tax-free amount of 300,000 yuan each month, which means they are exempt from 3% of the value-added tax, which saves more than 1,000 yuan. However, the problem of fabric still needs to be solved, otherwise the cost on the account will be totally wrong.

In more than a month, each person can get more than 10,000 yuan, which is much better than receiving a fixed salary. Xu Ziqing's previous salary at the publishing house was only about 8,000 yuan, and after deducting five insurances and one fund and personal income tax, he only got a little over 7,000 yuan.

The income was low and they didn’t have as much freedom as they do now, but they didn’t have the five social insurances and one housing fund.

More than a month after the studio was registered, Xu Ziqing finally remembered about purchasing social insurance. He quickly logged into the official website and applied to handle it the next day.

Xu Ziqing was thinking about going to handle social security and provident fund matters tomorrow, so she might as well go home. The last time she went back was when Xu Xu was busy planting potatoes. At that time, she completed the illustration based on the scene of Xu Zhuang planting potatoes. It has been almost a month now.

Xu Ziqing saw Xu Xu making clothes for the children: "Xu Xu, I'll go home later and apply for social security for both of us tomorrow. I may be back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"What is social security?" Xu Xu heard a new word.

"Uh~" Xu Ziqing paused for a while, and Yang Yang took out the phone in his hand: "You can search the video yourself later to find out."

"Oh, okay. Then drive carefully on your way back." Xu Xu lowered his head and cut the thread without raising his head.

Xu Ziqing walked to the door and came back to explain: "When you make clothes these two days, remember to turn on all three cameras. I have adjusted the positions. You just need to plug in the power and turn them on. Turn them off when you are not making clothes."

"Okay, I understand." This time Xu Xu looked up at the camera in the room and continued to work.

The next day, after sending the children to kindergarten, Xu Xu carried Xu Tiantian on his back and took the drawings to Jinxiu Pavilion in the county town.

Fengjie looked at the drawings in her hand. One of them was a sleeveless one-piece skirt with a stand-up collar and a teardrop lapel. The waist and hem were designed in the style of a suspender dress. It was a small A-shaped skirt with a length that directly covered the instep. The hem was a flower bud hem that flared out behind the instep and then slightly retracted inward.

The sleeveless one-piece skirt is paired with a knee-length jacket, which is designed in the style of a cape. The cape has a round collar and a front opening, and has horn buttons from the chest to the waist.

Fengjie was amazed by the dress. She had never seen such a bold design, a sleeveless skirt. Fortunately, it was matched with a cape on the outside. By buttoning it up, she didn't have to worry about exposing her arms.

Once this drawing is out, many styles of clothing can be adjusted according to this style.

"Of course, Xuxu." Sister Feng looked her up and down in amazement: "She actually has such talent. What a pity. She wasted so many years."

Xu Xu pursed his lips and smiled. He didn't dare to say that he didn't have such talent before. It was only after he came to the modern era that he learned other people's styles and made modifications. Strictly speaking, these were not his own ideas.

Fengjie pulled out the second drawing, which was obviously a wedding dress, designed by combining Xiuhe clothing and wedding gown. The upper body had a stand-up collar and double-breasted lapels, and there were three earrings on both lapels. The embroidery of the whole dress was made of gold and silver threads.

There are mandarin ducks embroidered on the shoulders of the shirt, water ripples embroidered from the collar to the arms, and two parallel "囍" characters embroidered with gold thread on the chest.

The sleeves are made of two layers. The inner layer is long sleeves with a circle of gold thread sewn on the cuffs, and the outer layer is three-quarter sleeves with a circle of red agate beads hanging on the cuffs.

The lower part of the skirt is combined with the hem of the wedding dress. The entire skirt is divided into two parts. The upper part is embroidered with peony flowers in gold and silver threads, and the lower part is added with a layer of red gauze. The red gauze is sewn into peony flowers with gold thread, which are staggered from the knees to the train. It seems that you can see a layer of golden red peonies on the ground in the drawing.

Sister Feng looked at the blueprint and pondered for a while: "Xu Xu, I can give you eighty taels for this wedding dress, and only fifty taels for the other one. This is the highest price I can give you. Do you think you can accept it?"

"Sure, I believe Sister Feng won't let me suffer a loss." Xu Xu initially thought that the two drawings would cost at most twenty taels each, but he didn't expect Sister Feng to offer such a high price.

Sister Feng smiled and said, "Because this is a wedding dress, I can offer such a high price, and recently there is a young lady from an official family in the city who is getting married."

"They are looking for someone to make their wedding dress. They said that as long as the style is acceptable to them, the price is not a problem. But I still want to take her to the capital to have a look."

"You're going to the capital?" Xu Xu asked in surprise.

Sister Feng nodded, put away the two drawings, counted the silver and gave it to Xu Xu, then said, "I will go to the capital tomorrow, and it will take ten days to come back. I will probably be back at the end of the month."

"Then I'll buy some more fabric." Xu Xu said.

Sister Feng looked at Xu Xu hesitantly: "Xu Xu, I took inventory of the warehouse the day before yesterday and found that more than a dozen pieces of cloth were damp. Some of the colors were a little faded, and a few white pieces were a little yellowed. However, the damaged parts were not big, but the price was more than half cheaper. Do you want to take a look?"

"Okay." Xu Xu responded happily. Modern tailoring is different from ancient tailoring, and modern people don't have so many requirements. If you think of a way, you can handle it anyway.

Xu Xu followed him to the warehouse, looked through it, and saw that all the colors and fabrics could be used, so she bought them all. The normal price of this batch of cloth was two taels per piece, but now Feng Jie gave her a discount and sold it to her for 880 wen per piece.

This calculation would cost fourteen taels and nine hundred and sixty wen. I also needed to choose two rolls of gold and silver thread, which cost another four taels. I just collected one hundred and thirty taels, and now I have one hundred and ten taels and forty wen left.

After leaving the cloth in Jinxiu Pavilion, Xu Xu went to eat a bowl of wontons, bought some daily necessities and cakes, and then rented a donkey cart to carry the cloth back home.

After arriving home, Xu Xu spent another ten cents to ask the driver to help unload the cloth at the door of the utility room. After the driver left, Xu Xu began to move the cloth to the workshop.

It was almost four o'clock when Xu Xu finished his work. He was dirty all over and so tired that he couldn't even lift his arms. He just wanted to lie on the sofa.

But he was so dirty, and kindergarten was over at 4:45, so Xu Xu sighed, obediently took his clothes and went to wash his hair and take a shower.

After picking up the children from kindergarten, Xu Xu bought an ice cream for each of them, ate it slowly as he walked back, then lay down on the sofa and played with his mobile phone, while the children rode bicycles in the yard.

Xu Ziqing came back three days later. The first thing he did was to export all the videos from the studio to the computer. While directing them, he asked Xu Xu how many pieces of clothing he had made in the past few days.
