Jia Niu’s question is a very practical problem. When doing business, you have to sell easy-to-sell goods, from large wood to small embroidery needles, to profitable sales. However, it is difficult to make socks in large quantities for sale.

First of all, making socks is similar to making clothes. The tailor sews socks according to the size of each person's feet, otherwise the size of the socks and feet will be too different, making it uncomfortable to wear them.

A workshop makes socks for sale in large quantities, and it is likely that it is not suitable for others to wear them on their feet after buying them back. They have to find a tailor to modify them yourself. It is better to find a tailor to make them from the beginning. This is a problem that Jia Niu can't figure out.

The second question is that ordinary people in ordinary people cannot afford to wear socks. People who can wear socks every day must have a wealthy family background.

The so-called "not affordable" does not mean that you can't afford it, but that you cannot afford it. A piece of clothing can be worn for a long time, but socks have to be changed from time to time. Socks are consumables compared to clothing. For ordinary people who are mainly engaged in walking, socks will consume more.

Wanting to wear socks every day will increase the cost of living, and a life that is already struggling will be even more difficult. If you have the spare money, it is better to make more clothes or buy a few liters of rice.

It is hot in summer, wearing straw sandals barefoot, and the clogs are very cool, so you can just wash if your feet are dirty; in winter, it is of course good to have socks to keep your feet cold, but wearing boots or cloth shoes barefoot, it will be over once you have to simmer.

Since ancient times, common people in common can’t afford to wear socks, and life is nothing big.

And do those families who can afford socks need to buy socks? Basically, they don’t need it.

They have tailors and don’t lack cloth, so they just need to use cloth to make socks. Why buy them in one go?

So what Jia Niu couldn't understand is: people who can afford socks basically don't need to buy socks, and people who can't afford socks will definitely not be able to afford the extra cost of living. So what profit can you make when opening a sock workshop?

Wu Ming also had the same doubts, but he had never questioned his wife Sima Lingji. Now that Jia Niu has brought it up, Wu Ming also wants to understand.

The confident Sima Lingji happened to answer, which was also the question she and Jia Niu's wife were discussing before. She picked up a picture album on the case, Sima Lingji opened it, and began to use the various schematic diagrams drawn above to explain where the business opportunities for making socks are profitable.

She heard a sentence from the shopkeeper Wang Yue, and thought it made sense, so she quoted: "What do you think about this sentence?"

Everyone nodded: "It makes sense."

Sima Lingji continued: "There are a large number of breeding farms in Huangzhou, which has greatly reduced the prices of eggs and meat. Many people who used to not eat meat a few times a year can now afford chicken, duck eggs and meat, and at least they can eat a few meals a month."

"There are hydraulic textile workshops in Huangzhou, which greatly reduces the price of cloth. Many families who used to share one or two pieces of clothing are now normal for each person to have a set of clothing."

"Huangzhou has a large number of workshops, workshops, breeding farms, and various industries, employed a large number of people to "work". They can obtain wages through labor every month, increase their income and lower their living costs, and their lifestyles will naturally change."
