The mule cart arrived at the South Street Sanlihe Su Ji garment shop, the scale of the garment shop is not small, a throw three main rooms, the inside is spacious and bright, a large wooden platform about seven or eight feet wide is placed in the middle, both sides are full of tailors, scissors and rulers are flying, busy and happy, there is a small guy standing behind everyone to help.

The tall and thin shopkeeper Zhao was not idle, there was a separate table a little bit inside, the big shopkeeper had a tape measure around his neck, and he was stretching his slender neck to look east and west on a piece of paper, and the white powder sheet on his hand was dotted on a piece of cloth.

Xiao Zhu'er parked the mule cart at the door, Su Jin jumped out of the car and went inside, none of the thirty or forty people in the store took care of Su Jin, but there was a young man who knew the guest Bai Shengsheng who first discovered Su Jin, and came forward to salute: "This guest officer, but are you here to make clothes?" ”

Su Jin said to the shopkeeper of Zhao Da, Nunu, who was busy with his head stuffy: "I have something to do with him." ”

The young man smiled and said: "Guest officer, it's not that the shop is neglecting you, our shopkeeper has ordered that there will be no customers during business hours, unless you are an old dresser, we have a special master to measure your body." ”

Su Jin smiled: "Oh? Why is that? Are your rules so strict? ”

The young man said: "Zhao Da's shopkeeper has always been like this, and it is another matter if he finishes the work in his hand, but our young owner of Su Ji has the ability, and he has taken on hundreds of sets of clothes at once, and he is busy now." ”

Su Jin laughed and said to the young man: "You go and tell him, if he doesn't want to see me, I will immediately raise my feet and leave, and I will not bother." ”

The young man said helplessly: "Okay, then I'll go and report it, and you wait, guest officer." ”

Su Jin stood in the open space outside the store Shi Shiran looked at the scenery, the young man ran around the cutting table and ran towards the shopkeeper Zhao, kicked over a small round stool in a panic, smashed the foot of the shopkeeper Zhao, the shopkeeper Zhao's teeth were hurting, but he didn't have time to pay attention, stomped his foot and began to cut clothes.

The young man stuck out his tongue and attached it to the ear of the shopkeeper Zhao and said: "The big shopkeeper, there is a little official outside who said that he wanted to see you, and I told him that you were busy when I saw that you were not available, but he insisted that I would report it." ”

The shopkeeper Zhao didn't raise his eyelids and said: "There will be no customers during business hours, but I said it clearly, you go and tell him, come back at noon." ”

The young man scratched his head and said, "You should take a look, maybe your acquaintance has come to you and has something urgent." ”

Zhao Da shopkeeper raised his eyes and looked out of the door, and under the eaves stood Su Jin, who was dressed in a blue shirt and satin robe, his hand was in a panic, and he almost cut his fingers, and slapped the young man's head with a 'snap' and scolded: "I don't even know the young owner's family, and you still block him out of the store, I think you are going back more and more." ”

Before the words fell, the shopkeeper Zhao had already hurriedly walked out, and said loudly in his mouth: "The young owner is here, the crime of neglect, deserve to die." ”

The young man was dumbfounded, scratching his head in a daze, and when the masters and apprentices in the store heard that the young owner was coming, they all put down their work and turned their heads to look.

Zhao Da shopkeeper bowed his hand and invited Su Jin into the store, all the masters saluted, Su Jin smiled and returned the salute, the young man who knew the guest shrank in a corner and did not dare to make a sound, Su Jin pointed to him and said to Zhao Da shopkeeper: "He is very good, courteous to guests, and not pedantic, don't scold him." ”

Zhao Da shopkeeper smiled: "He is my nephew, poor parents died early, follow me to live, see him clever so he took him to the shop apprenticeship, Mrs. knows about this." ”

Su Jin said with a smile: "Don't be too careful, since you are the big shopkeeper of the ready-to-wear shop, it is up to you to decide the employment of people, I will not intervene in it, I still want to have a few more clever little brothers like this." ”

Zhao Da shopkeeper said with a smile: "Don't praise him so much that his tail is up to the sky, this kid is very frizzy, he should officially learn the craft next month, and he has no time this month." ”

Su Jin said: "The big shopkeeper, I'm here to tell you about this, to talk about the craftsmanship, the clothes that came out of the big shopkeeper definitely didn't say, but you also saw it yesterday, there are a lot of orders, the business is quite turbulent, and the ready-to-wear shop can only cut a set of clothes independently There are only more than 20 masters, I am worried that there are not enough people." ”

Shopkeeper Zhao frowned, obviously Su Jin's words went to his heart, and after a while, he counted with his fingers: "There are only twenty-five people who can take charge alone, even if you hurry up, it will take four or five days to complete a set of clothes, and according to four days, it is only two hundred sets of clothes in a month, not counting the effort of accessories in the later stage, it is indeed difficult to complete such a large number of clothes; And you can't be too rushed, in case you make a mistake in the busy, you will put in more effort. ”

Su Jin was shocked when he heard this, according to his idea, a piece of clothing can be completed in two days at most, and a piece of clothing can be made in a few minutes in a garment factory in later generations.

Su Jin couldn't help but ask, "Big shopkeeper, does it take four or five days for a piece of clothing to be completed?" How could it take so long? ”

Shopkeeper Zhao knew that Shaodongjia had just come out of the study door, and he definitely didn't understand the cutting aspect, but he didn't think it was wrong, and patiently explained: "The production of a piece of clothing must go through various processes such as measurement, cutting, sewing, ironing, and samples, and it needs to be completed by the master alone. In these processes, the measure has been omitted, and the size of each piece of clothing has been measured on the order, but in fact, the next four processes take the most effort, so although the first procedure is saved, in fact, the effort is not much saved. ”

Su Jin asked strangely: "Cutting and sewing must be done by the master himself, I can understand why the ironing and testing in the back need to be carried out by the master himself?" Can't these apprentices? ”

Zhao shopkeeper said: "It's not impossible, you don't understand the rules of our industry, the clothes that fall out of the 'one hand' can best reflect the craftsmanship of a tailor master, if it is fake in human hands, it is not clear whether this dress is good or bad, if it is indecent, it will damage the reputation of the masters." ”

Su Jin understood, it turned out that these tailors were entangled in the problem of personal brand image, so even if they were exhausted, they didn't want their apprentices to touch their hands, so the effort required increased exponentially, so there was no way to talk about speed.

Su Jin pondered for a moment and asked, "Big shopkeeper, if the last two processes are for the young men to do, how long will it take for a piece of clothing." ”

"Two and a half days at most, maybe two days."

"Isn't that how much you can make more than four hundred outfits a month?" Su Jin was excited.

"It should be possible, but ......" the shopkeeper stopped talking.

Su Jin said in his heart, don't you just cling to the rules and refuse to change them, this is all burning your eyebrows, I don't care if you are happy or not; Although he thinks so, the reason still has to be explained, otherwise he will have a pimple in his heart when he works, which is not what Su Jin hoped.

Su Jin took the hand of the big shopkeeper and walked to a big willow tree not far from the store, and respectfully dressed and bowed.

Shopkeeper Zhao hurriedly stretched out his hand to live at home, and his thin face turned red and said: "Young owner, why is this?" I don't have to worry about old age. ”

Su Jin Zhengse said: "You can bear this gift, my mother and I have talked about your old, you entered my Su Ji as an apprentice at the age of thirteen, followed my ancestors to work hard to build a huge family business, hard work and never said much, the boy listened to the respect of the good student, now I Su Ji has reached a critical moment, some words I do not shy away from your old, this time Su Ji's cloth village and garment shop if it can't be revitalized, my Su Ji will decline, this is by no means what you want to see." ”

Zhao shopkeeper solemnly said: "Shao Dongjia, you have something to say, the old man and your ancestors on the two old owners never talk around the corner, although the old man helped the Su family do something, but the Su family did not treat me badly, in the past I was thirteen years old hungry skin and bones, lying on the street no one asked no one to care, it was the owner who saved me, and later also managed the marriage for me, the favor of the owner is to be a cow and a horse is difficult to repay, Su Ji is my life, this year's business is not good, I have resigned from the position of shopkeeper several times, but Lingtang is benevolent and benevolent, not only allowed, On the contrary, he asked the old man not to lay off the idle master in the store, and he couldn't find such a good owner in front of the merchants in Luzhou City, so the young owner had something to say but it didn't hurt. ”

Su Jin listened to the true confession of the shopkeeper Zhao, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart, it turned out that these people had received so much favor from the Su family, so they would agree to this matter if they didn't agree.

"Shopkeeper, do you know how much money I spent on this?" Without waiting for Shopkeeper Zhao to ask, Su Jin gave the answer himself: "It's close to fifteen thousand, if there is a mistake in this matter, my Su family is in danger." ”

Shopkeeper Zhao was startled and said, "How can there be so many?" ”

Su Jin counted the accounts to him one by one, and said that tomorrow when the old shopkeeper Zhang would personally go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to purchase three thousand high-quality fabrics, the shopkeeper Zhao opened his eyes wide, he understood the appetite of the young man in front of him, this is to swallow the share of the best clothing in the entire Luzhou City, and at the same time he also thought of the risks, if this matter is not successful, the loss is still second, Su Ji's reputation will be swept away, just imagine the thousands of people who have ordered clothes when the time comes to get clothes to wear, crowded at the door of Su Ji shouting, What a horrible scene it was.

"Shaodong, what you didn't say, you command, you can do what you say."

Su Jin and others are this sentence: "First, according to what I said, the irrelevant process is handed over to the apprentice to deal with, speed up, and do not let other cloth villages have the opportunity to stir up trouble, we must deliver the goods as soon as possible, and ensure the quality." ”

"Okay, I'll convince them to do what the young owner asks." Shopkeeper Zhao did not hesitate.

"Pay attention to the way you speak, you can't press hard, you just convey my words, and at the same time tell them that their honor and disgrace are connected with Su Ji, the quality of the clothes is not their personal matter, it is Su Ji's face, Su Ji has no face when he falls, and no matter how beautiful the clothes are, they will be criticized; In addition, tell them that all the labor money will be doubled this month, and Su Ji will not treat them badly. ”

"Don't worry, they are all old people in Su Ji, and they will definitely understand this truth."

Su Jin nodded and smiled: "That's the best, the second thing is that you have to hurry up and invite more than a dozen masters, Buzhuang will open a semicolon for you next door, find some skilled people, people who are willing to endure hardships, honest duty, and you can open in less than ten days, and then you will be the chief shopkeeper of the shops on both sides, and there are more people, so you won't be too busy." ”

Zhao's shopkeeper's beard trembled, and the hat of the chief shopkeeper was buttoned on his head, almost not causing his excited cerebral hemorrhage, and there was no big shopkeeper in more than ten shops in Su Ji who could mix a semicolon and make a chief shopkeeper, and this time he showed a big face.

"Shaodong, it's over to the old man, there are a lot of idle tailors in the city, Su Ji wants to invite them, I'm afraid I'm going to run this way with my head, I want to pick some good craftsmanship."

Su Jin laughed and said: "I am still the chief shopkeeper with a wide range of roads, and I know many people, if I come by myself, I will be sad to death." ”

Su Jin silently put on a high hat, and poured down bowls of ecstasy soup, the shopkeeper Zhao was originally an honest person, how could he stand this, a few back and forth, and he completely obeyed Su Jinyan.

Su Jin asked some questions about whether the style drawings of the clothes were clear, whether there were problems in the production and other questions, Su Ji ready-to-wear shops are all tailoring talents, looking at a painting can also restore the clothes, not to mention that Su Jin handed them a detailed sample drawing, this is a masterpiece of the Rou Niang and Huanniang sisters who spent more than ten days without leaving the study, naturally at a glance.

At this point, Su Jin didn't want to bother more, threw down more than a dozen picture scrolls, and left.

Shopkeeper Zhao returned to the store and said that although some people said strange things with their necks, when the shopkeeper Zhao said the sentence of doubling the salary, they collectively lost their voices, asking for money or face? The answer is self-explanatory.
