Chapter 388 Ancient Style Sports Shoes
The old lady also said: "I am also considering my third son. After all, people like you have little money to share from home. If we build a new house next year, I am afraid you will not be able to come up with the money.
Think about it, we can't just throw you in the mud-brick house when the time comes.
Although we have become inseparable along the way, for the sake of fairness, we cannot give you more shares. This is for the sake of our long-term development.
But we can’t just sit there and watch, we can’t bear it!”
Shen Zhiqiu felt warm inside when he heard this: "Oh, when did his mother become so good at talking? It is true that managing so many people is very difficult. The problems that I think of are really the problems that bother him."
Listening to the old lady say that she was not motivated by anything else, such as having more people to help her make money or something, she was just motivated by everyone on the road, once, twice, and whenever she encountered anything, she would protect her son and her family first.
They said that everyone would starve to death in the mountains, so they asked their family to take the food and leave.
Whether fighting wolves, wild boars, or even bandits, the boys would protect her son.
In order to protect his son, the officers and soldiers risked their lives.
Jeju, everyone should raise funds for his family so that they can be treated appropriately along with the third brother.
She said that although she had never said thank you to everyone, she was extremely grateful in her heart.
Emma, after hearing this, Shen Zhiqiu turned his head and wiped his face.
Basically every member of the Nine Clans had tears in their eyes.
In fact, in the hearts of the Jiu clan members: "Everyone has worked very hard along the way, trying to stay alive and protecting those around them. Now it is unclear who should thank whom. After all, at the critical moment, they are willing to sacrifice their lives for each other."
After distributing the money, everyone can't sit around, because tomorrow is August 15th, and there will be a lantern festival in the city.
The nine clans had already agreed to go to the provincial capital to celebrate the festival together, and they had already found a place to stay at night, a courtyard rented by Chen Dongjia for one tael of silver a day.
In the hairpin workshop, ten old ladies were not idle. Although they could not make hairpin flowers, they had no problem making molds for hairpins, bracelets, rings, various moldable petals, and beads of different sizes.
The people who were newly assigned to the hairpin workshop, including the aunt, the fourth aunt, the eldest aunt Shen Zhixia, Li Xiu'e, Aunt Fugui, and Aunt Tietou, a total of ten people, were also assigned simple tasks by Shen Youyou, such as making stamens and cutting petals to appropriate sizes.
While working, Old Lady Hua said to them, "You guys need to practice more. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, you'll have time to practice. What we lack most now is people who can make hairpins."
The old lady also said: "We work together. Although your wages are divided equally at 40%, I will ask Youyou to make a table later. How many hairpins do you make in a day?
"For those who make the most hairpins or the most expensive head ornaments every month, I will give you three taels of silver in addition to your wages. If you only make simple ones, you are not qualified to earn this three taels of silver."
After saying this, Shen Youyou found that the sisters were as energized as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and their movements became more agile.
She blinked her eyes and thought to herself, "It seems that as long as there is money, the limit of the big guy can be raised."
The hairpin workshop and the shoe sole workshop were next to each other, so the men heard it.
Of course, most people couldn't hear it, but when they heard the voices of encouragement from the other side, they asked the people near the wall, "What's going on over there?"
Several men near the wall swallowed their saliva and said, "Auntie Hua said that the one who made the most hairpins will be given three taels of silver every month."
It's over. These words made the men sigh even more. They also wanted to follow the old lady to work. Three taels of silver was almost as much as they earned in a month.
Shen Zhiqiu, who was working hard, said: "Hey, her mother is not giving me a way out. I am almost exhausted from comparing them. No, I have to work out the style of the finished shoes as soon as possible.
When the time comes, he will hire women from Tangjia Village to sew shoes. He will pay for each pair of shoes, materials, needlework, etc.
Thinking of this, Shen Zhiqiu picked up the megaphone in their workshop and said, "Yo Yo, Yo Yo, come here."
For the workshops built later, Shen Youyou made a connecting plastic pipe and placed a loudspeaker in each room. If there was any problem or someone to look for, just shout into the loudspeaker and every room in this half circle of the workshop can hear it.
Of course, Shen Youyou also heard it. She just stood up and turned her stiff neck, and then she heard her grandmother say, "Your father is so annoying. He keeps calling you. Don't you know that we are also busy?
He doesn't pay you over there, and I have reason to suspect that he is deliberately slowing down our earning speed."
Shen Youyou laughed out loud at her joke. Her grandmother and her father were really competing with each other.
But it's also good this way. She encouraged her grandmother to start her own business just to boost her grandmother's ambition. As long as a person has ambition, he will also be strong.
As soon as Shen Youyou arrived here, Shen Zhiqiu assigned him a task, asking him to decide on the pattern for making finished shoes.
In her previous life, she had seen others use heat-pressed plastic sheets to make sports shoes, and she could actually do the same in this life.
But Shen Youyou feels that the shoes that ancient people wear nowadays best match their ancient costumes, so she doesn't plan to change too much.
So women's shoes are easy to make. She plans to make two types of shoes: flat shoes and shoes with raised heels.
There are three types of styles: one is the arched toe shoe,
One is a round-toed tassel shoe.
The remaining style is the ancient-style sneakers she had seen on the Internet. In fact, it is similar to the style of sneakers, but the shoe strap design has been changed to a button design, and different styles of flowers can also be embroidered.
Of course, depending on the price range, there are shoes of various colors, embroidered and non-embroidered styles, tassel styles and non-tassel styles, after all, they have to cater to the consumption levels of different groups of people.
Men's shoes cost Shen Youyou a lot of brain cells, because in Daqing, not everyone wears boots.
If common people do not have someone like Shen Zhiqiu who is at least a scholar, they can only wear ordinary cloth shoes.
She also designed three models, one of which is the most common cloth shoes similar to those in old Beijing.
The other two models were also designed based on the old Beijing cloth shoes he saw in his previous life, but with many ancient designs added.
There are single-back cloth shoes and double-back cloth shoes. There are also single-back long boots and ordinary long boots for longer ones.
In fact, Shen Youyou has also thought about being bolder, such as making ancient-style high heels and ancient-style mid-tube hiking shoes. In fact, she already has the idea in her mind, and she is happy to wear it.
But things have to be done step by step. First, let these ancient people adapt to the shoes she imitated from existing ones, and then think about the next step. You can't achieve everything at once.
What if no one buys it? Wouldn’t it be a waste of work?
Shen Zhiqiu was very satisfied with Shen Youyou's design and said, "You can make your hiking shoes. We can wear them ourselves. If they are made in black, they won't look bad when paired with ancient costumes."
Shen Youyou explained: "I guess you are the only one in our family who can wear this kind of mid-length boots. Didn't you say that ordinary people can't wear long boots?
Dad, you still have time to read more books. If you can take the imperial examination someday, you can also become an official. Then our people will be able to wear this kind of shoes."
Shen Zhiqiu didn't know that his daughter was just drawing shoes, so she ended up talking about his imperial examination. This topic made him a little overwhelmed.
