Li Ling entered the room like a little whirlwind, holding three big black braids in her hand, and asked Zuo Jingyan excitedly:
"Jingyan, I went to the village below to get my hair done. I got three big braids done in one afternoon."
"Not bad, very good."
Zuo Jingyan took it over and took a look at it, and nodded with a smile. The quality of the hair was good, it was shiny and the hair was strong enough.
Li Ling looked proud:
"Let me tell you, how about this one costing twenty-five yuan? Can my sister-in-law negotiate the price?"
In the morning, she did not go back to the army compound with her sisters-in-law, but went to the barber shop to ask about the price of wigs. She found that Zuo Jingyan's prices for her sisters-in-law and her own hair were on the high side, at least five yuan more.
When Li Ling went to the countryside to get her hair done, the price was slightly higher than the barber shop's price, so she had to help Zuo Jingyan save costs and earn more.
Zuo Jingyan gave a thumbs up, feeling that she had chosen the right person:
"Sister-in-law is so awesome."
Li Ling saw Zuo Jingyan's trimmed hair and asked excitedly:
"Ah, is this the hair braid you were talking about?"
"Yeah, I'll teach you how to knit tonight?"
Zuo Jingyan nodded with a smile and went into the house to give the money for her hair to her sister-in-law. Her sister-in-law saved money for herself. She wanted to give Li Ling an extra dollar for each braid, but Li Ling was determined not to.
"How can that be done? It's up to you, I won't take advantage."
Zuo Jingyan likes Li Ling even more. She has a good talk and a better character. She also thinks about her wholeheartedly. She is a rare good talent.
"Sister-in-law, it costs ten yuan to weave a hair piece like this, twenty yuan to weave short hair, and twenty-five yuan to weave long hair."
Zuo Jingyan first explained the price clearly. What she did was not a selfless contribution. It was good to make money with her sisters-in-law, but she had to ensure her own income first.
A hair piece costs 50 yuan, 10 yuan for craftsmanship, 10 yuan for hair, and 2 yuan for materials. I can still have 28 yuan left, and the profit is also considerable. It has reached 50%. I still pay it back.
No effort required.
After Zuo Jingyan finished speaking, she looked at Li Ling, because she knew how much a wig could be sold for, and a greedy person would be unhappy or even angry.
Li Ling's eyes were shining with excitement:
"You're paying so much? Then if I knit one piece a day, I'll make more in five days than my family."
Not greedy, motivated, humble and eager to learn, Zuo Jingyan felt that she had found a treasure. After teaching Li Ling for one night, she basically mastered the technique of braiding hair. She was just not yet proficient, but she could get close to it with practice.
Li Ling studied until after nine o'clock before she went home. Zuo Jingyan gave her the child's seat that Liang Chao had made for her children.
Li Lingle is broken:
"That boy is really good at keeping his word. I thought he was fooling me!"
"I don't know if he has a partner. I have a cousin from my mother's side and I want to introduce her to him."
Zuo Jingyan smiled. It seemed that Liang Chao's red star had moved, and the matchmaker came to the door.
Zuo Jingyan went to the city early the next morning to watch the bricklayers at work. She came with hair-weaving tools to supervise the work and make sure the work was done properly.
In the afternoon, people came one after another to deliver cement and red bricks, as well as a donkey cart of sand. In the afternoon, the door and windows were repaired.
Qin Feng's troops were busy, so Zuo Jingyan told him that he had ordered the doors and windows himself and asked him not to help find anyone anymore.
After the bricklayers finished removing the doors and windows, she went directly to the lumber factory to find Liang Chao and asked him to come over and measure the dimensions. Then she went to the workshop invoice clerk to pay the money as usual and issue the invoice.
Qu Liang came to inspect the work and saw Zuo Jingyan and Liang Chao walking out.
Liang Chao confidently raised the note in his hand:
"Director, I'm going out to measure the dimensions."
Qu Liang took the ticket and glanced at Zuo Jingyan, who smiled at him.
After Qu Liang read the notes, there was nothing wrong with them. They used good materials to make a set of doors and windows. After reading them, he asked Zuo Jingyan:
"Do you want to order doors and windows?"
"right."
Zuo Jingyan nodded. Qu Liang still wanted to ask, but Liang Chao had already called:
"Factory director, the procedures are complete. The customers are waiting for the measuring stick. Can we not waste time?"
Qu Liang kept his words in his stomach and made way for them. Zuo Jingyan nodded to him and left with Liang Chao. Qu Liang looked back at the two of them and listened to Liang Chao whirring to Zuo Jingyan:
"Zuo Jingyan, I'll contact the glass factory for you. The doors and windows here will be ready and the glass will be installed immediately there."
Zuo Jingyan smiled and thanked:
"Thank you very much."
Qu Liang lowered his eyes. Even if they couldn't be boyfriend and girlfriend, they could still be ordinary friends. Why didn't Zuo Jingyan ask him for help when something happened? Was he not as trustworthy as Liang Chao?
Several items were carried out together, and Zuo Jingyan's house was quickly tidied up. There were very few double-door wooden doors on this street, and the windows were not made with small grids, but with large post-modern ones.
The glass showcase looks very impressive.
Zuo Jingyan also asked the bricklayer to plaster the entire exterior wall with cement. After the cement dried, he painted it with white lime. Among a row of red brick houses, her house stood out.
The house was also repainted, and all the sisters-in-law in the courtyard came to help. Qin Feng did not go home after returning from the army, but came directly to work without his military uniform.
Zuo Jingyan made a plaque with the name "Jingyan Hair Salon Studio" on it. She also placed the three-color rotating lantern bought from the provincial capital at the door, and the preliminary model of the barber shop came out.
But this was not enough. Zuo Jingyan hired students from the Academy of Fine Arts to draw two fashionable beauties on the white wall. One had big waves and the other had playful short hair. Both were wearing beautiful skirts and fashionable high heels. The beauties’ hands
Point directly to one sentence:
"Mesmerizing hair, wonderful cuts, professional hair styling base!"
Such advertising slogans and wall paintings are the first in Jinghai. Even before the opening, people come to see the excitement in an endless stream every day. It is so eye-catching.
Liang Lamei went out to see it eight times a day. When she saw that Zuo Jingyan had made the house more conspicuous than the department store, she was so anxious that her mouth was full of tears and there was a red mark on her throat.
In addition to the exterior decoration, Zuo Jingyan placed a small shelf in the window, a staircase pattern, four in total, with head molds placed on them.
She put beautiful makeup on the head model, and wore a wig she had knitted on the head. The hairstyles were different, arranged from high to low. There was a charming big wave on the female head model, a feminine Marilyn dream.
Bare hairstyle, a fashionable short haircut.
The men's hairstyle is the hairstyle of the early Hong Kong and Taiwan style. The male model looks in the direction of the female model with a smile on his lips. The female model has slightly flaming red lips, looking like a beautiful and arrogant girl.
This way of arranging the head molds is the first in Jinghai. It is more professional than that of the wig factory. Anyone who walks through the door will be attracted by the four head molds.
