Reborn to Strive

Shi Zhen was in the urban area before, and when he saw someone embroidering, he realized that it was a kind of work that he could take home and do, so he wanted to do it very much. This is also for a reason.

He thought of the time before the Qingming Festival, when he asked someone in the village to help him fold ingots. The money he gave was very little, but everyone was willing.

In the final analysis, it is because most of the older women in the village are unemployed and have no money.

When he took such a job back, he could make money, and he could make money for them.

If you don't have money, you will have no confidence in what you do. The society is so realistic, so if there is an opportunity, everyone in the village is willing to find a job.

The driver of the woolen sweater factory knew the way to Anshan Town.

He drove very fast, and unlike the bus that had to stop halfway, he arrived at Anshan Town in less than half an hour, and under Shi Zhen's guidance, he drove the car into Guan Baiyu's village.

The road in the village is relatively small, but fortunately, trucks can pass through it.

When Guan Jianguo came to Guan Jianguo, because Guan Jianguo had a tractor, the road leading to the door of his drying yard was widened, so that trucks could drive in and turn around on his drying yard.

Now is not the era when there were few cars on the road in the [-]s and [-]s. When children saw one occasionally, they couldn't help chasing after it.

But suddenly a strange truck came, and the people who were idle nearby gathered in the sun.

Shi Zhen pointed to Guan Guangguo's house, and told Mr. Zhou that it was his relative's house, and that he usually rented it in the town. As for this place, he rented it to store sweaters. The sweaters are all embroidered for the villagers.

When Mr. Zhou saw Shi Zhen smiling and greeting the villagers, he obviously knew them all, but he didn't doubt Shi Zhen's words.

Although Shi Zhen looked average in his attire, but from his conversation and handwriting, he was educated and his family should be in good condition.

Such a person would not go to great lengths to deceive him into two hundred sweaters.

These two hundred woolen sweaters are worth more than the 1000 yuan deposit that Shi Zhen placed with him, but the woolen sweaters produced by their factory are not pure wool, and the cost is estimated to be around 1000 yuan.

When Shi Zhen went out to sell rice balls this morning, he asked Guan Baiyu and Shi Xinghuo to help clean the house where he and Shi Xinghuo lived.

Even his and Shi Xinghuo's bed, he let them move to Guan Baiyu's house.

From then on, he and Shi Xinghuo slept in the outer room of Guan Baiyu's house.

Shi Xinghuo may not be reliable in his work, but Guan Baiyu is absolutely reliable in his work. When Shi Zhen opened the door, he saw that the room was tidy and the floor was covered with plastic sheeting.

It was the plastic sheet he bought earlier to keep out the rain on rainy days.

After seeing it, Mr. Zhou felt relieved. He left two hundred woolen sweaters and told Shi Zhen to pick them up the day after tomorrow. He left a phone number and left.

After he left, someone came to ask Shi Zhen what this man was here for.

Shi Zhen didn't hide anything, and told them directly that he had accepted the job and asked someone to help him embroider.

He took out the sample again and said: "I don't know how to embroider this flower now, and there is only one sample... I want to think about the embroidery method first. Do you have any good handwork? You can join me Try embroidering one piece, don't worry, as long as the embroidered one can pass the test, I will definitely pay you."

Most people in the village are not confident, and have never seen anyone embroider like this. Many people hesitate to speak.

In the end, it was Guan Baiyu's foster mother, Zhang Xiumei, who stood up: "It doesn't look difficult to embroider, I can give it a try... How much is it for one piece?"

Shi Zhendao: "I can give you more embroidery samples, one yuan for each embroidery. Of course, for samples, my requirements will be higher."

The pattern on this dress is a bit cumbersome. You have to fix the printed paper on the dress, and then embroider according to the pattern on it. After the embroidery is finished, tear off the paper and the work is complete.

Of course, it is a sweater after all, and the thread used for embroidery is also wool, which is relatively thick, so the embroidery speed should not be too slow, and it will not take a whole day to embroider one piece.

The price given by the woolen sweater factory for this clothes is one yuan and two cents for embroidery.

Shi Zhen planned to try to embroider it himself, and after confirming the time it would take to embroider one piece, he would calculate the price and send it to the villagers.

Generally speaking, women in the village are happy to do it if they can earn [-] cents an hour while sitting and embroidering, and they are very happy if they can earn one yuan an hour... He asked them to fold ingots before, and they worked for hours, but they could only make money. Earn two bucks!

At this time, manpower is really cheap.

After Zhang Xiumei was the first to stand up, other women soon said that they wanted to try embroidery samples.

Shi Zhen had also lived in the village for several months, so he probably knew the situation of these people, so he chose a few to embroider with him.

These women looked around the samples for a long time before starting to embroider.

They are all doing this kind of work for the first time, and they are very careful, lest they make mistakes, and strive to embroider exactly the same as the samples.

Even the petals of a flower, how many stitches they embroidered, they all counted in advance.

Shi Zhen also took a piece of clothing to embroider.

People who do a lot of farm work, such as his father, have very thick hands with chapped hands. Sometimes there are so many chapped hands that they have to wrap their fingers with tape or something.

With such hands, it will be more difficult to do fine work, and you will not be able to hold the needle and thread.

But he is still young, so it is not so serious. Although there are calluses on his hands, they are not chapped.

The needles for sweater embroidery are thick and long, so he has no problem holding them.

Shi Zhen took the needle and followed suit.

He is not good at everything, but he has worked a lot since he was a child, and his hands-on ability has always been strong, and he can embroider exactly like the samples.

For one piece of clothing, Shi Zhen didn't stop, and it took five to ten minutes to finish embroidering.

Before he finished embroidering, Zhang Xiumei had already embroidered one piece, and among the others, some had finished embroidering and some hadn't.

This is their first time embroidering, so it will be slower, Shi Zhen thought, this dress is embroidered fast, after embroidering a few more pieces, it should be able to embroider two pieces in an hour.

If you embroider slowly, you can only embroider one piece in an hour.

After a little thought, Shi Zhen gave the price of the embroidered clothes: "I still need more than a dozen samples of this clothes, and you can embroider the samples with me, one yuan per piece. When the samples are finished, you can take the clothes from me and go back to embroider. A piece of seven cents, I took it today, and I will give it to me tomorrow."

These women were nervous at first, fearing that they would not be able to do the job, but now that they have embroidered one piece, they feel confident.

They usually have to cook or something, and there are quite a lot of things at home, but at the end of the day including dinner, they can spare at least seven or eight hours for embroidery.

After you're done, you can earn at least ten yuan a day by embroidering?

That month was three hundred!

Shi Zhen also gave them this price after doing the math.

Although he exploited a bit too much, but... who made him short of money now?

Just be a capitalist.

While these women were embroidering samples, other people from the village came to watch, such as Guan Jianguo's mother, who came to watch. She asked for clothes and embroidered beside her.

It was embroidered well!

When the twenty samples were ready, Shi Zhen began to distribute the sweaters in his hand.

Some people tried to get ten or fifteen pieces, but Zhang Xiumei was ruthless and asked for thirty pieces directly.

"Auntie, can you finish embroidery?" Shi Zhen was a little worried.

Zhang Xiumei said: "You forgot, Jinjin is on summer vacation!"

Shi Zhen: "..." Do you want Guan Jinjin to help you embroider?But Zhang Xiumei's family still raises chickens... But there is not much work in the fields recently, and Guan Guangguo has already raised chickens. Guan Guangguo can take care of those chickens alone.

Of course, the biggest reason why Zhang Xiumei came to him to do work is that raising chickens does not make money.

Recently, near Anshan Town, many people raise chickens at home, and the price of chickens has been stagnant, but the feed is more expensive because of the large number of people buying it.

The woolen sweater factory only gave Shi Zhen [-] woolen sweaters in total, ten for you and twenty for me, and the women in the village quickly ran out of these clothes.

As for Shi Zhen, he used a notebook to write down the names of each woman and the number of clothes they took away.

Of course, he also specifically told them not to get their clothes dirty, and to be more serious when embroidering. If the embroidery is not good enough, he will let them go back to work, especially if they lose their clothes, they must pay for it.

They were all from the village, and Shi Zhen knew that they would not secretly hide their clothes after taking them away.

But if he didn't pay attention and sent them more, for example, he wrote down that he gave them ten pieces, and finally gave them eleven pieces, then there is a high probability that they would keep the extra one from him.

So even if the clothes were delivered in bundles of ten, Shi Zhen still counted them carefully before giving them to them, and asked them to count them on the spot.

It won't work if you give too much clothes, and it certainly won't work if you give too few clothes.

After everyone left, Shi Zhen relaxed.

For the two hundred pieces of clothes, after deducting the extra money for samples and the kickback to Mr. Zhou, he can earn about seventy.

So sometimes finding the right way to do business is really more profitable than working hard.

This job was undoubtedly the easiest but the most profitable of all the jobs he had done after his rebirth.When this business is on the right track, he may be able to earn a hundred a day.

Not to mention that he doesn't plan to just do this, he also wants to set up a stall in the town to sell cold drinks at night.

Shi Zhen planned his future and planned to buy the freezer as soon as possible.

Of course, no matter what, he had to wait for the business in his hand to get on the right track after a few days.

If he could contact a few more woolen sweater factories, there might be hundreds of women in this village and nearby villages who would take jobs from him in the future.

In the 90s, there were quite a lot of villages that made money by doing this kind of handwork. For example, in some villages, the whole village made lighters together.

In some villages, the whole village glues hairpins together.

There are also the whole village stringing beads together to make bracelets and necklaces.

On their side, it would be good for the whole village to do secondary processing of woolen sweaters together?

Shi Zhen was very busy, he went to Changxi City early in the morning, and everyone else was also busy.

After Guan Baiyu helped Shi Zhen clean up the Guan Jianguo house rented by Shi Zhen in the morning, he went to the town to teach Shi Ting a lesson.

He found that Shi Ting's foundation was very poor, so he took his elementary school textbooks to Shi's house, and started teaching them from punctuation marks, land acquisition and so on.

Ahem... After this teaching, he found that his foundation was not good.

Also, Shi Ting's math is really not very good.

Guan Baiyu taught very seriously, as he continued to teach, Zhao Qiujuan came back pushing the rice ball stand.

Guan Baiyu stood up immediately: "Sister, where is my brother?"

Zhao Qiujuan said, "Ah Zhen has gone to Changxi City."

"Oh..." Guan Baiyu felt a little lost.

Zhao Qiujuan was very happy. She started her own business today, and after handling so much money, she always felt that she was different.

"I sold rice balls in the morning, and I left some peanuts and egg skins, do you want to eat them?" Zhao Qiujuan asked.

Guan Baiyu was not very interested, but Shi Ting was interested: "Yes!"

Zhao Qiujuan took it out and gave it to Shi Ting.

When making rice balls, each ingredient needs to be scooped up with a spoon. Later, these ingredients are easy to mix together.

For example, there are pickles and mustard in peanuts.

This thing looked a bit dirty, but Shi Ting didn't dislike it, after all, she couldn't eat it before, so she took a chopstick to eat it.

At this time, Zhao Dongjuan also came, and grabbed a handful of peanuts.

Shi Ting didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but Guan Baiyu was a little speechless-wouldn't it be good to grab it directly?

Well, he was infected by his brother, so love is clean.

Zhao Meiyun began to ask Zhao Qiujuan about the situation of setting up a stall.

Shi Zhen planned to give the stall to Zhao Qiujuan, and Zhao Meiyun was very happy when she found out about it.

Going to a stall can make money!

Her eldest daughter has an income, and she will be able to marry better in the future.

Zhao Meiyun's knowledge is all about getting married.

Zhao Qiujuan happily told her mother about all the things she had done when she set up a stall before, and said, "Mom, I think I can learn it after one more day of study."

"Learned to be a free laborer for others?" Zhao Dongjuan asked.

Zhao Qiujuan and Zhao Meiyun were speechless for a moment.

Zhao Qiujuan paused and said, "Ah Zhen said, if you give me this stall in the future, the money I make will be mine too."

"Get up before dawn, and it's a good thing for you," Zhao Dongjuan said, "He must be tired of doing this, so he asked you to do it."

Guan Baiyu was a little confused.

His brother used to wake up every morning to sell rice balls and fried skewers at night. During the period, he had to cook meat for the cooked food stall. He was too busy to sleep. He occasionally fell asleep after resting on the straw for the sake of his family.

It's fine for this person to be ungrateful, but he's still acting weird?

If it wasn't for unfamiliarity, if Zhao Meiyun and the others were already embarrassed, Guan Baiyu really wanted to say something to Zhao Dongjuan.

But this is Shi Zhen's family...

Zhao Qiujuan was also angry: "It's not that Ah Zhen hasn't done it before, he was the one who set up this stall before!"

That's what it said, but Zhao Qiujuan can't do anything about Zhao Dongjuan.

Zhao Dongjuan is so old, she can't beat her.

Sometimes in order to prevent her from causing trouble, she and her mother even tried to give her more benefits.

Shi Zhen's rice ball stall has not yet been fully handed over to Zhao Qiujuan.

But for the fried skewer stand, he has completely given it to his parents.

Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun didn't know much about arithmetic, and they came back late yesterday, so they didn't count the profit, but they always felt hot when they received more than 100 yuan.

In order to change the topic now, Shi Dalin asked Guan Baiyu to help calculate the profit of their stall.

What was prepared at the booth yesterday is roughly counted. Although there are differences in some places, the approximate profit can still be calculated.

Guan Baiyu did the math for them, and found that they earned more than twenty yuan yesterday.

When Shi Dalin and Zhao Meiyun got this answer, they were completely dumbfounded.

How could they earn so much in one day?

No, it cannot be said that they have been busy for half a day.

No wonder their son insisted on letting them come outside, it was so nice outside.

People from their village should also come outside.

Zhao Qiujuan was also a little confused: "Can you earn so much by setting up a stall?"

Guan Baiyu said: "Selling fried skewers makes more money, not necessarily rice ball stalls, but if there are additional orders, you can also earn so much. It's a pity that my brother was too busy before and asked others to help, so the money earned, He didn't take it all."

Shi Dalin and the others knew about this, and Shi Xinghuo had already saved a thousand dollars!

And no matter what kind of business, it is always difficult to start at the beginning. How to buy and dispose of materials is a problem. They also have Shi Zhenjiao to get started.

When Shi Zhen first started doing it, it must have been difficult.

Guan Baiyu ate at Shi's house at noon, and he also bought the food.

Shi Zhen was afraid that if he and Guan Baiyu didn't buy it, the family would eat something indiscriminately, so he told Guan Baiyu to buy some meat dishes and eggs.

However, the job of cooking was taken away by Zhao Meiyun and Zhao Qiujuan. While they were doing it, they complained that Shi Zhen and Guan Baiyu bought too many vegetables.

After dinner, Guan Baiyu taught Shi Ting for a while, during which Zhao Qiujuan also came over and followed the class.

Zhao Qiujuan wanted to listen, Guan Baiyu was very happy, and taught Zhao Qiujuan pinyin seriously.

Guan Baiyu didn't stop until three o'clock in the afternoon, ready to go home.

His brother... should have come back, right?

Guan Baiyu hurried home, and saw that in the house Guan Jianguo rented to his brother, his brother was sitting on a bamboo chair, holding a sweater in his hand, lowering his head, very seriously... embroidering?

Shi Zhen thought that he would have nothing to do tonight, so he left a few sweaters for himself to embroider, after all, he could make money.

He was used to the work, but he felt a little uncomfortable when he stopped.

Seeing Guan Baiyu, he let go of the clothes on his hands as if nothing had happened: "Xiaoyu, are you back?"
