Chapter 143 Xu Chunyan is back
Chapter 143 Xu Chunyan is back
Ruan Qingge was busy with factory affairs, so she asked several aunts in the village who were good at handicrafts and could use sewing machines if they were interested in working in her factory. If they were interested, they could go to the factory to sign up on the sixth day of the New Year. They could learn for ten days or half a month, and could start working directly if they could get the hang of it.
After looking around the village, she thought about finding a few capable young people to help manage the factory, as Zhan Hongxia could not handle it alone.
Huo Beiting is the only one who takes care of household affairs.
He followed Tie Niu's grandparents to learn how to fry rice, make rice cakes, make candied rings, and various fried fruits.
Grandma Tieniu also taught him how to make magnolia slices.
Made from sweet potatoes, it is steamed, kneaded firmly, sliced and air-dried, and fried to become larger and crispier.
It is made in the same way as shrimp chips in later generations.
It tastes delicious, crispy and melts in your mouth.
These snacks are all memories of childhood, and they are rarely made now
Ruan Qingge is busy, and Huo Beiting is also busy.
But at night, the two would sit together and chat.
Talk about what you did during the day and what you are going to do next.
Huo Beiting felt distressed: "Ruan Ruan, don't be too tired. I will help you draw a few more pictures at night."
With Huo Beiting's help, the design drawings are indeed richer, and Ruan Qingge is very satisfied with this.
"You too, don't work too hard during the day, and go to bed on time at 10:30 at night. Don't let me find out, otherwise I will be unhappy."
Just ask the mice in the house and you will know whether Huo Beiting slept well. If Huo Beiting slept late, Ruan Qingge will know it, as if she has eyes everywhere in the house.
Since then, Huo Beiting has gone to bed on time.
Huo Beiting put on a smile: "Don't worry, I'm learning health preservation from you now."
Ruan Qingge planned to take Huo Beiting to the hospital for a check-up after returning to the capital during the winter vacation.
She will have to have a check-up every year from now on, otherwise she will feel uneasy.
The space water is available for drinking every week. The snacks she makes for Huo Beiting are all made with the water in the space, hoping that they will be useful.
After chatting for a while, the two began to discuss summer styles.
The factory started operating after the Spring Festival, so it was definitely unable to make spring products and could only start making summer products.
Ruan Qingge designs all kinds of skirts, including all kinds of dresses and umbrella skirts, both sleeveless and short-sleeved. They look beautiful just by looking at the pictures.
Huo Beiting's designs focus more on practicality, and it can be said that the two people complement each other in design.
In this busy manner, it was already the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.
Xu Chunyan and Zhan Hongxia arrived home. Xu Chunyan didn't even have time to go back to her own home, so she went back to Tongxi Village with Zhan Hongxia.
She was carrying a big bag, which contained the canvas bag that Ruan Qingge asked her to help make.
There were also winter clothes for Ruan Qingge, samples of new fabrics, and so on.
Zhan Hongxia was carrying a large bag and holding two things in her hands.
"Pigeons, we're back!"
Ruan Qingge heard Xu Chunyan's voice from a distance and opened the door: "I am glad to see you two back."
Tie Niu and Hua'er stood there, unable to believe that the woman in front of them, who was beautifully dressed and had shiny, white hair, was their mother.
Zhan Hongxia felt a little sad. She walked over and hugged the two children in her arms: "Tie Niu, Hua'er, mom is back."
The flowers are a little timid, but this is the arms of their mother.
She remembered.
"mom……"
"Hey, my dear flowers, mommy will never leave you again."
Tie Niu's eyes were wet: "Mom, you are going to make money. My sister and I understand."
Otherwise, he and his sister would not be able to eat meat and wear clean clothes.
"You've grown a lot. Come here, let mom take a good look at you."
Ruan Qingge and Xu Chunyan sat down in the yard and let Zhan Hongxia talk to the children.
"Pigeon, I brought back a lot of new fabrics from there, which are very suitable for summer styles."
Xu Chunyan opened her bag, which contained things for Ruan Qingge and only two sets of clothes for herself.
"Yes, this fabric is indeed the latest." Ruan Qingge was very appreciative. Xu Chunyan was indeed a talent.
Ruan Qingge has been in this business for more than ten years and knows exactly what fabrics are available and when.
Xu Chunyan asked Ruan Qingge what he planned to do with his family's factory, and Ruan Qingge told her his ideas.
"For now, I'm thinking of selling the goods from my family's factory to the wholesale market in the city, or even the next city. Let's see how much we can make."
After the Chinese New Year, she will have to take samples and go again to negotiate prices with the stall owners.
Xu Chunyan: "Then let's go to a market each. I'll go to the next market, and you go to the city."
Ruan Qingge: "Okay. Also, if you have a large supply of extra goods, I'll ask my sister-in-law to send them to you."
You can use road transport, pay the freight, and Xu Chunyan will pick up the goods there.
Xu Chunyan: "Okay."
Ruan Qingge asked about the market there in the second half of the year. Xu Chunyan would go to the market every half a month. This was what Ruan Qingge told her.
"Our products are still the most popular, but our styles have been copied by others."
When Xu Chunyan said this, worry appeared on her face. The price of imitation products was lower than theirs, and some stall owners were still willing to sell imitation products.
Ruan Qingge: "Where is the trademark I asked you to apply for?"
"It has already come down. I have arranged two workers to make the brand logo. All the spring styles will be sewn on it."
There are washing labels and brand labels.
Ruan Qingge: "Don't worry, we won't sell these styles next year. If there are any plagiarisms, you can collect the evidence, organize it and send it directly to the management department to let them deal with it."
It may not be of much use, but I will be unwilling not to report it.
Xu Chunyan: "Okay."
Looking at the mother and her two children reunited, Xu Chunyan said to Ruan Qingge, "I plan to go there after the Chinese New Year and enroll in a night school. After your sister-in-law leaves, I will have to take over some of the work. I am worried about letting others do it."
Ruan Qingge thought that there was no suitable person on his side, and Zhan Hongxia would have to be in charge of the factory here.
"Is there anyone in your family you can trust?"
Some things always have to be done by others, and one person cannot do everything.
Ruan Qingge told Xu Chunyan to hire people when necessary and not to be stingy with money. "You can't take care of so many things by yourself, so you have to train more people to work for you. Don't let those who are opportunistic and scheming manage the money."
Fortunately, Xu Chunyan is strong-willed, otherwise she would have been bullied by the people in the factory.
Xu Chunyan: "When I get home, I'll ask my cousin's wife. She's an honest person, but my cousin is not. My mother wrote to me and said that they are getting divorced recently."
If her cousin's wife really got divorced, she could ask her to go to the south to help.
But she had to do it quietly.
Ruan Qingge also said the same thing to Xu Chunyan, "I've heard you say before that your cousin is a scoundrel. You must not let him know that your cousin's wife is with you."
"Don't worry, I know it."
After the two finished talking, Zhan Hongxia, Tieniu and Huaer also finished reminiscing about the past. "Pigeon, thank you."
