Liang Yu put the clothes on the cabinet and shook his head at Kang Yurong.

Kang Yurong glanced at the box of clothes on the cabinet, and asked again, "Haven't changed?"

"Yes. Liang Yu said: "I turned around all the tailor shops in the vicinity, and I also went around the east of the city, and no master dared to get started." And I went to those two dress stores, and they only sold ready-to-wear clothes, and they never altered clothes. ”

Kang Yurong's brows slowly furrowed.

They are not the only ones in Beijing, but there are not many of them, and there are only three of them. Kang Yurong has investigated, and like them, the two families only buy ready-to-wear clothes, and there has never been a precedent for modifying clothes. Therefore, Liang Yu returned in vain between the two of them, which was also expected by Kang Yurong.

However, in such a big Beijing city and countless tailor shops, it is impossible to find even a master who repairs Western clothes, which is really unexpected by Kang Yurong.

She thought it was just a trivial matter, but she never expected it to be a tricky one.

Liang Yu seemed to understand Kang Yurong's meaning, and he said: "It is normal to return empty-handed. ”

"Huh?" Kang Yurong was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

Liang Yu explained: "There are many people in Beijing who can make clothes, but most of them are old. When they learned the craft, there were very few people wearing Western clothes, and all they came into contact with were horse coats, long shirts, and cheongsams. If you ask them to make a long shirt or a horse coat, or repair a cheongsam or something, they will definitely come easily. If you want them to change their clothes, it will be difficult. ”

Kang Yurong asked: "In the past, there was almost none, and there must have been less contact, but now dresses are very common." Although they haven't made dresses, they can always see some doorways, right? They all have the skills to make clothes, but if they modify it slightly, can't they do it?"

Liang Yu said: "Maybe it's not that you can't do it, but you don't dare?"

"Don't dare?" Kang Yurong didn't understand even more, and asked: "What's not to dare? Are you afraid that this dress will have a mouth and bite them?"

Liang Yu smiled faintly: "It's not that the clothes have a mouth and bites, but the money has a mouth and bites." ”

"Huh?" Kang Yurong looked at Liang Yu: "The more you talk about me, the more confused I become." ”

Liang Yu smiled and said, "This dress is not cheap at first glance, who of them dares to start easily?

"That's right. Li Chuntao said: "It's all a small business, and if you lose a few hundred yuan, who can stand it." ”

"It would be nice if it were in Shanghai. Liang Yu said suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Kang Yurong asked.

Liang Yu replied: "In Shanghai's Shili Foreign Market, there are many earlier and more foreigners than in Beijing, and there will definitely be people who make Western clothes there." ”

Li Chuntao looked at Liang Yu and said, "What you said is very right, but it's just nonsense." Don't say that we don't have time, even if we have time, is it worth it to walk so far and spend so much money for a piece of clothing?"

Kang Yurong ignored the competition between Liang Yu and Li Chuntao, she frowned, groped her chin, and said to herself: "It's definitely unrealistic to go to Shanghai now, but in such a big Beijing city, can't you even find someone who can make Western clothes?"

Yang Huaihua shook her head: "I haven't heard of it." ”

Li Chuntao also said: "I haven't heard of it either. ”

Liang Yu also nodded his head, and naturally he hadn't heard of it. He looked at Kang Yurong and said, "Probably not, I also asked the masters of the tailor shop, and they didn't know." ”

"I said this is not easy to do, right?" Yang Huaihua's gaze moved to Kang Yurong's face, and then said: "Just tell that guest, just say that we can't change it, let her choose something else." ”

Before Yang Huaihua's words fell, Kang Yurong blurted out: "No! I have promised the customer, and if I regret it now, I will lose the credibility of our store." If a store doesn't even have the most basic integrity, then the store has only one ending, which is to close down. ”

Li Chuntao said: "Then what should I do now? The master can't find it, how can I change my clothes?"

Kang Yurong said: "Don't worry, there are still a few days, let's see." ”

When it was closing, Kang Yurong said to Liang Yu and a few of them, asking them to go back and ask around to see if they knew anyone who could make dresses.

As for her, she is not idle. The next day, I went to the fourth brother's house, found the fourth sister-in-law and Mrs. Lin, and explained the current situation.

The fourth sister-in-law said while thinking, "I really don't know anyone who can make Western clothes?" The ladies and ladies I know are all ready-to-wear. Put a set of clothes on your body, give money if it's suitable, and look at something else if it's not suitable. Aren't they all like that in ready-to-wear stores?"

Mrs. Lin said, "Who says it's not? If you want me to say, a piece of clothing doesn't make much money, and if you meet people who have a lot of trouble, don't do their business at all." For that little bit of petty profit, as for such a big effort?"

The tone of Mrs. Lin's words is really the same as Yang Huaihua.

Kang Yurong patiently explained: "It's not a matter of more money and less money, but I just want to attract this repeat customer." ”

"Huh. Mrs. Lin laughed strangely, as if she had heard a very ridiculous joke. She said: "Our business is so good now, do we care about the one or two repeat customers? Not to mention one less repeat customer, even if there are ten less, I don't care." ”

What a crazy tone.

Kang Yurong stared at Mrs. Lin, and really wanted to scold her angrily: You don't care about me. Because those customers are all I have worked hard and carefully to stay.

If you want to say something, think about it or forget it. Mrs. Lin is her partner and a friend of her sister-in-law for many years. Those words are really going to come out, and it is estimated that no one will look good on their faces.

Kang Yurong suppressed the fire, breathed a sigh of relief, and said coldly: "That's the way it is. If you have time in the past two days, ask more, and if you know a master who can make dresses, just tell me. ”

The fourth sister-in-law saw Kang Yurong's face gloomy, and knew that her sister-in-law was annoyed, so she hurriedly smiled and said: "There is time and time, even if there is something else, you have to stand aside, no matter how small the matter in your own store is, it is also a very important matter." Yu Rong, don't worry, I'll inquire in a while, and I'll let you know as soon as there is news. ”

"Alright, nothing else, I'll go first. ”

Mrs. Lin also knew that Kang Yurong's cold face was for her, so she was naturally unhappy. Therefore, as soon as Kang Yurong left with her front foot, she drooped her face on her back foot and complained to her friend: "Why did you promise her? ”

"As for. The fourth sister-in-law said solemnly: "Hold one customer, and this customer will bring two." Just like Yu Rong said, one belt is two, two is four, and four is eight...... In the same way, if you offend one customer, then you may offend ten, hundreds, or even all customers. ”

Mrs. Lin didn't care: "What she said is too mysterious, right?"

The fourth sister-in-law said: "I believe that Yu Rong's words are by no means alarmist. Neither you nor I are business material, otherwise, the store that used to be so prosperous would not have made our business a mess. We don't understand the way of business, but Yu Rong understands, she definitely didn't do this by being idle and deliberately tossing us. The store also has a stake, and I think she will only do everything for the sake of the store's business.

You said that apart from taking some money, what else are we doing? The store is taken care of by Yu Rong alone, inside and out, has she complained? Has she made a small share of the money to us? Yu Rong is a strong person, and she will not easily ask for help unless she has to. It's a rare time for her to open up to us, and it's still this kind of effort, and you still refute it like this, are you really embarrassed? Besides, shouldn't we do something for our own business?"

Mrs. Lin is not a bad person, she just has no determination, she can't stand the praise of others, and when others praise her, she doesn't know how many pounds and taels she has.

No, after Kang Yurong took charge of the store, the business returned to its previous appearance, and relatives and friends inevitably praised it when they knew about it. With this compliment, Mrs. Lin's mood soared, and her tone became crazy as soon as she was raised.

Now that she has been "educated" by her friends, Mrs. Lin has calmed down, thinking about her attitude just now, it is really bad not a little bit. In the future, I will have to rely on Kang Yurong to make a fortune, and when I spoke again, my tone softened a lot: "Should, should, should, isn't it okay?" Okay, okay, I know I was wrong just now, you adults don't remember villains, and your prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, okay?"

The fourth sister-in-law smiled: "You." ”

Mrs. Lin stood up: "Let's go." ”

The fourth sister-in-law was stunned: "Why are you going?"

"Aren't you going to ask who knows how to make dresses?

As soon as she heard this, the fourth sister-in-law couldn't help but ridicule: "Yo, it's time to be positive." ”

Mrs. Lin flew over and rolled her eyes: "Huh." ”

The fourth sister-in-law stood up, and the two walked out together.

Mrs. Lin said: "When I see your sister-in-law again, you tell her that I am unintentional today, and let her not take it to heart." ”

The fourth sister-in-law said: "I want to apologize, why don't I say it myself?"

Mrs. Lin glared at her friend and said, "You made a peacemaker in advance, and I was embarrassed to speak when I saw her again?"

"You're thinking too much, my sister-in-law isn't so stingy. ”

"Yes, you're all broad-minded, but I'm the only one who is cautious, okay?"

"That's what you said, I didn't say that. ”

“……”

The two talked about making trouble and walked away.

Mrs. Lin's words, Kang Yurong really didn't take it to heart. One is that she really isn't a stingy person, and the other is that she doesn't have the time to be bored and idle now.

Judging from the attitude of the fourth sister-in-law and Mrs. Lin just now, she can't count on them anymore, and she has to think of something else.

Kang Yurong came out of the fourth brother's house, and went straight to XX Middle School non-stop, and asked the teachers he knew during the break, all of which were one answer: "We rarely wear dresses, let alone know people who make dresses." ”

Out of the school gate, Kang Yurong didn't even pause, turned his head and went to the Guangming Newspaper office, looking for "Uncle Li." ”

"Uncle Li" ran out of it, and when he saw Kang Yurong at the door, he said in surprise: "I really didn't expect it to be you?"

Kang Yurong said: "Yes, I'm bothering you again." ”

"Uncle Li" waved his hand and said, "What are you doing so politely? The 'female overlord' of our family has said more than once that you took good care of her when you were at school, and in order to thank you for this care, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help." The two looked at each other and smiled, and he said, "Why don't you find a place to sit down and talk slowly?"

Kang Yurong hurriedly said: "Don't be so troublesome, a matter of one or two sentences." ”

"Uncle Li" didn't force it: "Okay, what do you say?"

Kang Yurong said what he meant.

"Uncle Li" thought about it and said, "I really don't know such a person. After a while, "Uncle Li" said, "Wait a minute, I'll come when I go." With that, he ran back to the newspaper office.

Five or six minutes later, "Uncle Li" came out again and said, "I really can't help you this time, I asked my colleagues too, but I didn't know each other." ”

Kang Yurong smiled faintly and said, "It's okay, I'll ask someone else." ”

"In this case, you go back first, and I'll go back and ask the others, and I'll let you know when there's news." ”

"Thank you then. ”

With the fourth sister-in-law and Mrs. Lin, Kang Yurong didn't report much hope, and with her old colleagues, she didn't think about any gains, but when she came to find "Uncle Li", she was really ideal.

She thought that "Uncle Li" was a reporter with a broad vision and a keen sense of smell, and he had traveled all over the corners of Beijing, so she naturally knew more people.

Before she came, she still thought that the success rate of finding "Uncle Li" was not nine out of ten, but it would be half and half.

The result?

As a result, there is as much hope as there is much disappointment.

Kang Yurong walked down the street, with an irrepressible depression, watching the pedestrians shuttling through the street. I vaguely thought in my heart, could this really not be done?
