The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 258 It’s always good to have more skills

Shen Zhensheng knocked on Shen Zhenjiang's door, and after hearing the sound from inside, he waited for him to open the door.

"Where did you go just now? How was it?"

Shen Zhenjiang became excited when he mentioned this, "Third brother, this place is much better than our home. Big cities are more prosperous than our place."

"Of course, but we will go to a big city one day, so it's a good thing for you to see more of the world. You can go shopping wherever we go, but don't cause trouble."

Shen Zhenjiang nodded, still feeling depressed. Why did his parents and third brother all think that he would cause trouble? He was obviously much more stable than before.

"You've been walking around for so long, have you eaten yet? Don't be reluctant to eat," Shen Zhensheng was full, so naturally he had to care about his younger brother.

"I ate, ate, went out for a walk, and then went to eat noodles."

"Okay, I'll take you out to the big mall here tonight to see if we can do any business. We can do business next time we come."

When Shen Zhenjiang heard that Shen Zhensheng wanted to take him out to find business, he immediately agreed, "Okay, Third Brother, call me when it gets dark."

As soon as it got dark, the two of them went out to eat together. They first tried the local specialties, and then they went to a big shopping mall together.

There are a lot of things for sale here, but the prices don't seem low.

Shen Zhenjiang soon observed that the women here seemed to like carrying various cloth bags. Unlike the army green bags carried by the people at home, the bags they carried were more colorful and the styles were also novel.

Shen Zhenjiang also told Shen Zhensheng about this, and Shen Zhensheng also discovered it.

He had just been wondering if his wife's clothing factory could produce a batch of women's bags. Bags should be easier to sew than clothes and use less fabric.

The bags here are not cheap. When someone asked about the price of a bag just now, Shen Zhensheng listened carefully. A ladies' bag costs five or six yuan.

Shen Zhensheng calculated that if Xiao Baoer's factory made this kind of bags, after deducting a small amount of cloth and workers' labor costs, they would still earn several yuan for each bag, and a skilled worker could make several of these bags a day.

Shen Zhensheng planned to go back and tell his wife about this matter, but he would still have to listen to his wife's opinion on whether to do it or not.

The two of them shopped for a long time, and Shen Zhensheng also met with the person in charge of the mall to talk about business, mainly about bags and clothing. Shen Zhensheng also guaranteed that the styles were novel and the workmanship was fine.

The person in charge promised that when they meet next time, if the samples Shen Zhensheng brought were really that good and the price was right, he could purchase from him on a long-term basis.

Shen Zhenjiang was still very excited on the way back to the hotel. He didn't expect that he could actually make a deal by just going out for a walk.

"As long as the things you can bring out are of good quality and can make money for others, then they will naturally consider using your things. Do you understand, silly boy?"

Shen Zhenjiang nodded innocently, "Third brother, then can we also sell the cakes made by mother and second sister-in-law and make some money?"

Shen Zhensheng shook his head. "The pastry business is OK in winter because it doesn't spoil easily in cold weather. But it won't work when the weather gets hot. It's hard to ship out. Then the demand for Zhou Bao's pastries will also decrease."

"Ah, what shall we do?"

Shen Zhensheng tapped his head lightly, "Look at how worried you are. Your third sister-in-law said that when we go back this time, she will let me teach mother and second sister-in-law how to make soap. In addition to the line for Zhou Bao, we will find a way to sell the rest."

"Does the third sister-in-law even know how to make soap?"

"Of course I will. When the time comes, I will ask my mother and my second sister-in-law to make soap, and my father and my second brother to make popsicles. We will send them to town to find people to sell them, or we will pay them as we do now."

The more Shen Zhenjiang listened, the more confused he became. They even made popsicles?

"Third sister-in-law can even make popsicles? Doesn't that require ice?"

Shen Zhensheng said casually, "Your third sister-in-law knows how to make ice. I saw it in a book before, and then I remembered it."

Shen Zhenjiang really wanted to kowtow to his third sister-in-law more and more. Was she too amazing? How could she know everything?

"You should learn well, your third sister-in-law is very capable," Shen Zhensheng said, sounding a bit boastful.

The two returned as scheduled the next day, and drove for two days and one night before returning to the transport team. It was already past five in the afternoon when they went to hand over the car and sign.

After Shen Zhensheng and Shen Zhenjiang finished their work, they rode their bicycles back to the village without staying for long. The people who were building the factory had not yet left work.

"Wife, son, I'm back," Shen Zhenjiang pushed his bicycle into the house.

"Dad, Dad, you're back. I missed you so much," the three little sweet beans rushed to their dad. The eldest and second kids each hugged one of their legs, and the third kid was running around in a hurry.

Xiao Baoer held Sanbao's hand and said to the two little guys, "Hurry up and ask Dad to stop the bike so he can play with you guys."

Shen Zhensheng parked his bicycle inside the house and played with his three children for a while before coaxing them to play with their toys.

"Wife, let me do it, you don't have to do it," Shen Zhensheng walked into the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to cook.

"Please help me. My son wants to eat durian stewed chicken. It's already on the stove. I just need to stir-fry a few more dishes."

During the meal, the three children drank two small bowls of chicken soup and ate some durian meat. They also told their dad what they did at home, showing a strong desire to share.

"Wife, Lao Wu and I went shopping in the big mall over there and talked to the person in charge of the mall about the women's bag and clothing business. Can you design a bag?"

Xiao Baoer has never designed a bag, but you can give it a try.

"I can try it. We can also search for bags that are more suitable for this era in the space. I can design a new bag based on those styles. It's not a big problem."

"Okay, I'll let him look at the samples next time I go there, but I think there will be no problem. I'm going to bring 500 bags and 100 pieces of clothing with me to open up the route to the big shopping malls first. After the factory gets bigger, Zhou Bao alone won't be able to sell them all."

"Okay, we have a factory anyway, and there is no risk of speculation."

"Well, next time I'll take the soap over as a sample. If they're sure they want the goods, I'll ask Dad and Brother to make more. Zhou Bao and I will both sell them overseas, and we'll definitely not let Dad and Brother get away with nothing."

Xiao Baoer thought that making soap was less risky than making food, so for peace of mind, she simply asked Shen Laoer and Shen's father to do the same as her mother's family and make soap.

Of course, the food business can still be done for a while, as the current season is not likely to affect the quality and taste of food.

"Okay, I'll think about what else they can make and sell besides soap in the next few days, so that everyone can make more money. When trading is free in the future, we can open our own shop and do business. It's always good to have more skills."

"Don't worry about it. They all have businesses now and earn money every day. Their lives are much better than before. Let's let them do the business when we find a suitable one."

Xiao Baoer nodded. There was nothing she could do about it. She knew a lot of things, but was restricted by the times and was not allowed to display them.
