Reborn 1990: Running towards the life of a housewife
Chapter 74 Shen Xiaojun’s Clothing Experience
Zhou Wei came on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, carrying a lot of things in big and small bags, including shelled peanuts, soybeans, dried vegetables, etc. He also brought cured fish and cured duck.
"Sister-in-law, my mother made this herself. It tastes great. It can be eaten steamed or stir-fried."
Shen Xiaojun was particularly embarrassed, "It's too expensive to bring so many things every time. My aunt's craftsmanship is really good. There really aren't many people here who can make this kind of cured fish and duck."
Zhou Wei laughed and said, "My mother also learned it from a daughter-in-law from out of town who married to us. She doesn't have many of these things. They are all her own things. My mother is afraid that she will not bring enough!"
At the end of last year, he worked with Brother Lin for a month and a half and got back 3000 yuan. His parents almost thought he had done something bad.
Knowing that he made money with Brother Lin, the old couple kept telling him to work hard and not be lazy.
Now that my family has money, I can live a more comfortable life this year. I don’t have to worry about buying anything, and I don’t have to worry about giving out red envelopes to relatives’ children if they don’t get enough.
There are even more people coming to my house to talk about matchmaking...
"Sister-in-law... what about that, what do you lesbians like?" Zhou Wei asked in an awkward whisper.
Shen Xiaojun raised his eyes, and his face turned red.
She just laughed and said, "Is this a blind date? Are you in love?"
"Well!" Zhou Wei scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "The matchmaker introduced me to one, and I met her once. She was pretty good. She used to help in a restaurant in the city, and she had to go after the Chinese New Year, so I thought I'd wait. Give her a gift when she comes."
"That's good. Girls all like beautiful things. You can give her scarves, brooches and other small things at the beginning. They won't be too expensive and are affordable. Later, when you know more about them, you can give her other things."
Shen Xiaojun was afraid that the woman he was going on a blind date with was the woman who had abandoned him in his previous life, so he asked again, "What's her last name?"
"The surname is Luo, and the name is Xiaona."
It's really her.
Shen Xiaojun didn't say much. She was an outsider. She had never met her and couldn't say anything. Maybe people thought Zhou Wei could make money and stopped running away?Whether it's good or not, I'll just have to wait and see later.
Zhou Wei had been living in a small courtyard before, but this time he mentioned that he wanted to move out and asked Shen Xiaojun to help find out where there were houses for rent nearby.
"As long as you can cook in a single room, when Xiaona comes up later, you can still cook and have a place to stay." It's not convenient to live in Brother Lin's place. How can I often take my girlfriend back to someone else's house for dinner? .
Afraid that Shen Xiaojun might misunderstand, he immediately added: "She lives in the dormitory and can only come here during holidays, haha..."
I know.
Shen Xiaojun smiled and said, "Okay, don't explain, I understand. I'm just going to help you look at the house these days."
Zhou Wei chuckled: "Thank you, sister-in-law."
Shen Xiaojun accepted the matter, and when he had nothing to do in the past two days, he pushed the child around in several alleys. After two days of wandering, he finally found a suitable house.
The landlords are an elderly couple who live in a small courtyard. It was a pity that the house was empty. In order to supplement the family income, they took out one room and rented it out.
The old couple took chalk and wrote the rental information on the door. After seeing it, Shen Xiaojun knocked on the door and went in to ask.
The old couple heard that the person who wanted to rent a house was a young man, and they were a little worried, fearing that the young man was not a good person because of his arrogance.
Today's young men all like to imitate the Young and Dangerous. If the elders don't like them, young girls like that will be indifferent to them.
After meeting Zhou Wei, the old couple agreed and rented it to him for 30 yuan per month, sharing the kitchen.
As soon as the house was rented, Xiao Zhou moved out.
"I have to go to Yangcheng in the next two days." Lin Zhe said as soon as he came back.
"Other stores in the mall have started to sell spring clothes, and cotton-padded clothes are almost unsaleable. I plan to discount the goods in hand to the people below, and then sell them all in spring styles."
As soon as he walked to the sofa, his feet were on the coffee table.
Shen Xiaojun patted him down and stuffed his son into his arms, "Before you go, you'd better ask if there is any shop there. After all, it's not even fifteen yet."
Lin Zhe made a funny face and teased Yaoyao, "I know. I have called the bosses from whom I got the goods before. Their new models are also available. This time I plan to go alone and let Xiao Zhou look at the counter. , we can’t stay open like before, and the manager of the mall came to me today to tell me about a rent increase.”
"Raise the rent?" Shen Xiaojun, who was about to go out to cook in the kitchen, turned around and said, "How long did you renew the rent last time?"
In this day and age, the monthly rent of 1000 yuan is really not low, and it is still such a small place.
Lin Zhe shook his head, "I didn't renew it. I said I would sign the contract after the next year."
"Then did he say how much the increase would be?"
Lin Zhe shook his head, "No, they said that after a meeting is held in a few days, the entire mall will go up. Those who signed a contract for several years at a time are okay, and the increase will not be above their heads, but most of them are for one year. Once signed, these merchants are now very dissatisfied, and some even say they want to withdraw their counters and open stores outside.”
This is not impossible. Shen Xiaojun sat down again and said, "Look at the central city to see if there are any shops for sale. The location is better. If there are, you can buy them. You can open a shop by yourself after renovating it. Even if you do it yourself, If you don’t open a store, you can rent it out.”
"Buy a store?"
"Yes. If we want to keep making clothes, the space we rent in the mall is too small. If we pay the rent in a few years, we can just buy a shop."
"Didn't you say that the shopping mall is high-end? The clothes can be sold at a high price without any counter-offering. If you move out here, they will definitely not do it at the fixed price."
Shen Xiaojun thought for a while and then said: "Whether it's high-end or not doesn't depend on the decoration. As long as we decorate the store to be high-end and give it a nice store name..."
When it came to the name of the store, Shen Xiaojun was speechless. The shopping mall required a store name, so Lin Zhe casually chose a middle-class name like "Wolf Suit".
At the beginning, she was afraid that the name would affect her business. Fortunately, everyone was looking at the style and didn't pay attention to the name on it.
"The clothes we get from Yangcheng usually don't have tags. We can put our own brand on them, which also increases people's impression. As soon as you mention it, you will know whose clothes it is. It's not just big brands that can do this. Not everyone does it." We’ve been making it since we were young... When things get better later, we can even ask the manufacturer to put our brand on the collar..."
Shen Xiaojun rambled on and told Lin Zhe all the clothing knowledge he knew in his previous life, including branding, chain operations, franchising, etc., talking about the big things.
Lin Zhe held his son in his arms and listened in fascination. Even Yaoyao scratched his nose and didn't react.
Yaoyao tilted his head: "Ah! Dad..."
Dad, what's going on?
"Sister-in-law, my mother made this herself. It tastes great. It can be eaten steamed or stir-fried."
Shen Xiaojun was particularly embarrassed, "It's too expensive to bring so many things every time. My aunt's craftsmanship is really good. There really aren't many people here who can make this kind of cured fish and duck."
