The rise of a small town in shoe country

Chapter 4

Jin Yunfei said that as a professional householder, the whole family laughed, especially his grandfather, who laughed so proudly that his white beard was trembling.

The second younger brother Jin Yunxing said with a smile, "Brother, our family is already a professional pig raising household and a professional grain farming household. The village has issued certificates. You must not have forgotten it."

Jin Yunfei said, I mean, I want to become a professional household of shoes, and strive to become a household of tens of thousands of yuan within three years.

Grandma Jiang Cailan asked, grandson, you didn't drink at noon, did you get drunk by liquor?

Jin Yunfei asked back, grandma, are you against my decision?
Grandma said, I don't agree, our family is doing well now, you don't need to look at the height of the mountain.

Mother Xie Yujuan said, I support my eldest son's idea.

Jiang Cailan glanced at her daughter-in-law, then shut her mouth and remained silent.

Grandma was afraid of her daughter-in-law, which made Jin Yunfei secretly happy.

I heard that when my mother first entered Jin's house, grandma was very strong and she was often angered, but mother had tricks, and later she was convinced.

The first trick is to work. My mother was born in a martial arts family, and she is stronger than men. When working in the production team, she was the only woman in the town who earned as much work points as her male labor. Therefore, she was also an advanced representative of women in the county. The highest honor a family has ever received on record.

Another trick is to have children. The top three generations of the Jin family passed it on alone. Grandma worked hard for half her life, but she only gave birth to one boy and two girls.

But mother is different, four boys and four girls, it is a crushing victory for grandma.

Especially the last twins made grandma completely lose her family status. In the words of her mother, if it weren't for family planning, she would still have ten or eight children.

Grandpa Jin Yuanbai asked, grandson, why don't we raise pigs or farm?
Shaking his head, Jin Yunfei said, pigs can still be raised, but sows are no longer raised, and the fields must continue to be planted, but only their own contracted fields, and other people's contracted fields, we will not plant them next year.

Father Jin Jialiang asked, Yunfei, we specialize in making shoes, can these shoes be sold?
Jin Yunfei nodded, and then told the whole family in detail how he met Zhao Yunlai on the street.

The whole family was deeply encouraged. Selling ten pairs of shoes a day can earn three or four yuan, and more than 100 yuan a month.

The third brother, Jin Yunpeng, complained, "Brother, why did you show mercy and let the thief go, he should be caught and beaten up."

The second younger brother Jin Yunxing scolded, you know what a fart, you have to forgive others and forgive others, there are gangs of thieves, if you beat someone up, they will take revenge on you.

The second sister Jin Xiaoxia said, "Brother, I just can't figure this out. They offer a pair for one yuan and three, why do you sell them for one yuan and two?"
The second younger brother Jin Yunxing said with a smile, the second younger sister, the eldest brother is very ghostly, this is called fishing for big fish with a long line.

Jin Yunfei kicked his second brother and cursed, brat, keep your mouth clean.

Jin Yunxing clutched his leg and called Qu Dao, grandparents, fathers and mothers, my elder brother beat someone again.

No one paid attention to Jin Yunxing, because only his elder brother could control him, and if he didn't do anything about it, something would happen.

The eldest sister is more business-minded, she asked, brother, our shoes are only sold to Boss Zhao, but he said that he only charges ten pairs a day, what should we do with the extra shoes we make?
Jin Yunfei said, don't be afraid, if there is Zhao Yunlai, there will be Li Yunlai, Wang Yunlai and Zhang Yunlai. Besides, let's continue to set up stalls, and we can sell a lot of them in bulk.

The whole family discussed for a while, and grandpa Jin Yuanbai made a conclusion. He said with a smile, grandson, now you are in charge of the house, so you have the final say.

Speaking of being in charge of the house, as far as Jin Yunfei can remember, it was the grandfather who was in charge of the house, but later let his daughter-in-law be the head of the house.

Jin Yunfei remembers that the characteristics of a mother who is in charge of a family are extravagant, generous, and willing to do good. As a result, the poor pretend to be rich, and the year after year is not as good as it is.

Later, it was Dad's turn to be the head of the family, but three years ago, his father was lame and it was inconvenient to go out, so Jin Yunfei took advantage of the situation and became the head of the family.

Not to mention, since Jin Yunfei became the master of the family, and the family contract system was implemented, the Jin family's fortunes have changed, and their small life is getting better and better.

Facts speak louder than words. At the end of last year, for the first time, the Jin family achieved a "turnaround" and did not borrow money for the New Year for the first time.

Jin Yunfei is proud of this. It is a miracle that a family of twelve can have enough money.

Just do what you say, and the small fenced yard of the Jin family soon became full of enthusiasm.

The first process of making cloth shoes is to soak the cloth for the soles of the shoes and wet them, and then put them in the sun to dry them flat.

There is sunshine in the afternoon, which is just right to take advantage of.The whole family was mobilized, those who fetched water fetched water, those who soaked cloth soaked cloth, those who dried cloth dried cloth, and those who made paste made paste. The division of labor was clear and orderly.

The old and new cloth bought on the street, and the old cloth bought from mobile vendors at home are all soaked in water tanks, cleaned, and spread out on bamboo mats for drying rice.

But it can't be exposed to the sun. Grandpa sits next to him. When he sees that the sun is almost dry, grandpa will put it away and send it to the main room to starch the cloth.

The upper cloth and lining cloth do not need to be soaked in water, but they should also be coated with paste. The two cloths are put together and rolled flat with wooden tools.

The starched cloth cannot be placed in the sun, but air-dried, which is also a small craft unique to Jinjia cloth shoes.

After the first process is completed, it enters the second process, drawing and cutting the upper and sole.

Jinjia cloth shoes have fixed sizes, generally ranging from size 39 to size 43, and shoes of other sizes must be made to order.

This is the work of mother Xie Yujuan and eldest sister Jin Xiaoling. The mother and daughter will do it at the dinner table. They put the patterns on the cloth, cut them out, and sort them according to the size, and put them in five baskets.

The third process is the hemming of the sole. The sole needs to be covered with four or five layers. Jinjia cloth shoes have five or six layers. Each layer includes several layers of cloth that are glued together with paste. Wrap it and stick it with paste.

This is the work of the second younger brother Jin Yunxing. Although he is lazy at work, the second younger brother is skillful.

The second younger sister, Jin Xiaoxia, also helped with the job, and she did it better than her second brother.

As I was doing it, my second brother Jin Yunxing yelled, "Brother, I'm tired."

Jin Yunfei didn't bother to pay attention to his second brother, he was sitting on the threshold, burying his head in a small book to keep accounts.

This is Jin Yunfei's habit. Income and expenses are kept in one account. The shoes are sold for all the shoe materials, and only fifty yuan is left for the grain.

Brother, I'm tired.Jin Yunxing called out again.

Brat, it's tiring to sit and work.Jin Yunfei scolded with staring eyes.

Jin Yunxing muttered, medical books say that if you sit for a long time, you will get tired.

Alright, Jin Yunfei laughed and said, then I will assign you a job, if you can do activities outside, can you do it, second brother?
Jin Yunxing was overjoyed, and quickly asked, I do what I do, brother, tell me quickly, what kind of work is it?

Jin Yunfei shook his head and said, forget it, I'm afraid your words won't count.

Jin Yunxing patted his chest and promised, I want to repent, I am a puppy.

This remark drew laughter and scolding from the whole family, because the whole family was involved.
