Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Cotton Candy (Four Updates)

"Xiao Yue, don’t worry, I will definitely make more clothes," Deng Lanhua said excitedly. If she worked hard and made more clothes, she could earn more than she did in the previous month.

Sometimes, she would only earn twenty to thirty yuan in a month, but now making clothes for Tang Yue, she could earn that much in just a few days.

"Alright, Sister Lan, for those few pieces of clothing, add one size to each, and make one of each," Tang Yue said. "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Deng."

Deng Lanhua was only one person and couldn’t produce many clothes.

Tang Yue would put the clothes in her store, and they would sell out within two or three days at most; she urgently felt the need for more help.

If she could mass-produce her clothes, would she no longer need to buy stock from outside in the future? If she could set up a garment factory in Wangjiang County, that would be even more perfect.

Tang Yue took a deep breath and discussed with Tang Mingli about talking to Deng Lanhua to have her mentor an apprentice so that they could produce more clothes.

Although an apprentice couldn’t do critical tasks, they could still handle simple tasks.

As for wages, Tang Yue was still contemplating how much to pay when Deng Lanhua said, "Xiao Yue, now apprentices pay us to learn, you don’t have to pay them."

"Is that so?" Tang Yue’s eyes widened, recalling what others had mentioned before. If you want to learn to use a sewing machine, it seems you really have to find a master. Otherwise, you would have to figure it out on your own, at best doing simple stitching. You could make clothes on your own, but they definitely wouldn’t have any patterns.

"Xiao Yue, if you make more clothes in the future, I can take on two apprentices," Deng Lanhua was becoming more excited about the idea. Having two apprentices meant that, although she had to teach them, they could help her with a lot of work.

"Sister Deng, are you sure we don’t have to pay the apprentices?" Tang Yue couldn’t help asking again.

"Yes," Deng Lanhua nodded affirmatively, saying, "For each piece of clothing, I’ll give them twenty to thirty cents to start with, and if they do well, I’ll add more. They’ll definitely be willing to do it."

They might not be formal apprentices, but by following her, they would surely learn something; she believed many people would be willing.

"Then, can they guarantee not to disclose the styles of the clothes?" Tang Yue asked again.

"They will only be able to do the simplest things to begin with. I have all the styles memorized. I will do the final steps," Deng Lanhua concluded this arrangement after careful consideration.

The next day, the search for apprentices began; those who wanted to learn sewing were eager to hear that they didn’t have to pay and would even earn money, so two apprentice positions were quickly filled.

Tang Yue also made drawings from the remaining unused fabrics, asking Deng Lanhua to make them along with the previous clothes whenever she had time. With the help of the apprentices, the speed of clothes production visibly increased.

Previously, it took two days to make one piece of clothes, and it also took a long time to sew on the name.
