Chapter 020 Little Test Knife

Lin Ziqin helped Haiman work just out of fun. She has done a lot of work in recent days, more than she has been more than ten years. She is so tired and has backache. However, she was also very happy. She was the first to taste the things she made. She wore the necklace and wrist flowers happily, and she didn't care about anything else.

Hyman looks calm, but in fact, he is also very nervous. After all, this business is related to her future livelihood, and she cares more than anyone else. When I was not calm, the work slowed down and there was no progress for a long time.

"Second sister-in-law, what are you doing?" Lin Ziqin pulled something in her hand curiously.

"B Bra!" Hyman replied casually.

Lin Ziqin heard this word for the first time and was curious, "Bror? What is it for?"

In this era, there is no underwear, and women are wearing waji and crouchs. The bra is similar to the breast, which is divided into shoulder straps and shoulderless straps. A strap is tied under the chest, which can be loose or tightened to fix the chest. When she woke up, the crotch she wore was made of precious wool, while that of Mei Xinger was made of silk cloth. I'm afraid ordinary people can only wear cotton or linen.

The trousers are said to be trousers. In fact, they are just wrapped around the lower body with a wide cloth belt and tied to the body with a thin belt. If it is very active, it is easy to fall off. According to Mei Xinger, when ordinary women do heavy work, they basically don't wear trousers and tie a piece of cloth around their waist to cover their crotch, which is like a petticoat.

Hyman naturally can't get used to wearing these things. He chose the right fabric early and made two underwear, but there is no underwire and elastic here, so he has to make a non-wired bra, replacing elastic belts and buckles with a lacing, which is a bit like a swimsuit. In fact, she really wants to sell some underwear, but it is obviously impossible in this conservative era. Even Mei Xinger saw her in underwear, and she was so ashamed that her neck turned red, not to mention selling it in the store? It must be considered unusamid and scare away many people.

But after all, bra is a product of civilization. She really wants to promote it. Even if it can't be promoted, she should introduce it to the people around her to let them know how good it is. If Lin Ziqin and Mei Xinger can accept it after using it, then others will not be a problem, and then there is a possibility to open up the market.

"The bra is a special crotch, which can protect and beautify the chest. Would you like to try Ziqin?" While explaining, Hyman put the semi-finished bra on Lin Ziqin's chest.

Lin Ziqin opened her eyes curiously, "Is it just a little cloth?"

"Well, that's it!" Knowing that she would not understand, Hyman immediately untied his clothes, showed his bra and showed it to her.

Lin Ziqin blushed like Mei Xinger, "Can this kind of thing be worn? It's too embarrassing..."

"It's worn inside. What are you afraid of?" Hyman smiled and put on his clothes and encouraged Lin Ziqin to say, "Only after you try it will know that this thing is good. Do you want to try it? If you think it's not good, you can wear it!"

"That..." Lin Ziqin hesitated. Although it was embarrassing to see the bra Heiman was wearing, he didn't know why he was a little yearning for it. The thing seemed to have a special attraction. "Then I'll try it?" She hesitated for a long time and finally wanted to try it.

Seeing her consent, Hyman immediately measured her size and drew a sketch. She couldn't eat fat in one bite. She deliberately designed it to be more conservative, and then found a good piece of cotton cloth and started to make it.

"Second young lady, watch... young master is back..." Mei Xinger saw Qi Wenhao's figure at the door and hurried in to report the news.

"Are you back?" Hyman stood up in a hurry. As soon as he got to the question, Qi Wenhao had entered the yard.

He strode straight to Hyman and stood still, without saying anything, and looked at her with a blank face.

"How about that? Does it sell well? When Hyman saw him like this, his heart suddenly rose and asked carefully.

Qi Wenhao still didn't say anything. Lin Ziqin was anxious, grabbed him and asked, "Cousin, what's going on? You should say something!"

"Yes, young master, say it quickly, I'm so anxious!" Mei Xinger also looked at him with a worried face.

When Qi Wenhao saw the three people's expressions, he finally couldn't stand it and laughed out, "Look at you're scared. Don't worry, it's all sold out!"

"Really?" The three women exclaimed together.

"Of course, I kept it in the shop. The toys, children's hats and that small bag were bought in a short time. The neck and wrist flowers were slightly worse, but they were all sold!" Qi Wenhao nodded, took out a heavy purse from his sleeve and handed it to Hyman. "This is the money sold, a total of sixty taels. Click!"

Hyman was a little surprised, "According to the price we set, we can only sell 40 taels. How can we sell 20 taels more?"

"I raised the price a little bit and sold some more." Qi Wenhao smiled and said, " By the way, the shopkeeper wants more goods and asks when you can make it!"

Hyman thought for a moment, "If you do more, it should take three or five days, right?" After all, there is no sewing machine in this era, and it all depends on handwork. Mei Xinger and Lin Ziqin can only work hard, and sewing is done by her alone, which will be very slow.

"It doesn't matter. Take your time. It sells so well that you can raise the price in the future." Qi Wenhao encouraged her.

She nodded, poured the silver on the table, deducted 20 taels of material fees, and made a net profit of 40 taels. However, the materials are also used from Linfu, so it doesn't matter. Twenty taels were given to Qi Wenhao, leaving 20 taels for themselves, and ten taels for Lin Ziqin and Mei Xinger.

It goes without saying that Mei Xinger is happy to get so much money. Qi Wenhao knew Hyman's temper and did not refuse. He accepted it generously.

Ten taels of silver is nothing to Lin Ziqin, but it is finally the first time she has made money by herself and put it in the bag made by Hyman for her. If Hyman hadn't repeatedly told her to keep it a secret, she would have taken it to Master Lin to show off.

"Yes, can I hire someone?" Hyman suddenly asked.

Qi Wenhao was slightly stunned and said uncertainly, "Should it be okay?"

"I'll pay her myself. Can you help me hire someone who is good at needlework? Find a down-to-mouthed man..." She thought about it carefully. If she wants to make more money, she can't rely on herself alone. She needs to find a powerful helper.

"If you go to tell your uncle that there are few people in your yard, I think your uncle will agree to hire someone. After all, your yard is also empty, and there is only Mei Xing'er. As long as my uncle agrees, I will help you find the right person, which should be fine!" Qi Wenhao gave her advice.

Hyman nodded, "Well, okay, I'll talk to the master sometime!"
