Chapter 30: The Tailor's Shop
After tidying up the things, Shang Jia picked up the withered yellow branch broom and swept the small courtyard. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Gu Nan was already busy at the moment, he put down the tools in his hand, and then took some money and walked to the gate of the courtyard, Shang Jia was concentrating on sweeping the floor at the moment.
The stones on the ground seemed to be swept clean, and some would always pop out of the cracks of the broomsticks.
Looks like the broom needs to be changed, Shang Jia thought to himself.
"Let's not sweep it yet, let's go out." Gu Nan said, "Go out and buy something." ”
Shang Jia snorted, then put the broom at the door, "Did you bring the key?" She asked.
"Brought it." Gu Nan said.
Shang Jia walked ahead, Gu Nan locked the door, and then led her out of the house.
The feeling of walking in the alley is very novel, and I didn't notice anything when I was holding the luggage, but now the two of them began to notice the eyes of the people next to them as they walked lightly.
What kind of gaze is that, jealousy? Envy...... Not like that. In short, she couldn't find the words to describe it.
"I haven't asked you yet, why are you so far away from me all of a sudden?" Gu Nan asked.
Shang Jia didn't expect him to ask this question at this moment, but she was also thinking about it these days, he would definitely ask, there was no doubt about it.
So she had already thought of the answer. "Because I offended Master Gu." Shang Jia replied. "Everyone can see that Master Gu attaches great importance to you, how dare I hit that muzzle?"
"That's it?" Gu Nan looked up at the tailor shop not far away.
"Well, that's because of that." Shang Jia said, "Brother Nan, you won't blame me, right?" She raised her head and looked at Gu Nan's face.
"No, it won't." Gu Nan took her hand.
There are constant strange glances around, these people seem to be a little bored, is it because the pressure of life is too small, so there is such leisure?
Passing through an alley, Shang Jia bought some rice, oil and salt to use, and then put a few dishes and chopsticks.
When passing by the tailor's shop, Gu Nan suddenly had a whim, pulled Shang Jia and walked inside.
Shang Jia paused at the door. "Very expensive ......"
"I have money." Gu Nan said.
Shang Jia didn't resist either, and to be honest, she also wanted to see what the tailor shop was like.
The wheels of the tailor turned, and there was a rattle...... Similar to the sound of a male duck courting.
Shang Jia looked at it, and the front of the sewing machine was full of beautiful fabrics, green, blue, red, and green.
A variety of patterns and styles are hung in front of the workers who step on the sewing machine.
When the female worker heard the movement of the comer, the movement under her feet stopped instantly, she seemed to be very young, and her eyes were clear and dust-free. "Ma'am, yes...... Looking at clothes? She stammered, her cheeks flushed with nervousness, and she looked like a novice.
"Take a look." Shang Jia smiled at her.
Soon a man came out. "Sir, I'm sexual, it's okay to call me Xiang Tian, can you take Miss to make clothes? Our handiwork here is notoriously good, and it is spread all over Tongyang......" Xiang Tian was wearing a decent suit. "What do you want to make? What kind of fancy do you want for the material? ”
He spoke like that, not hard enough to be understood.
Shang Jia stared at a glossy red chrysanthemum fabric, this pattern is naturally more flamboyant, except for large families, other small families rarely wear it.
Gu Nan seemed to see the pattern in her photo, and he stretched out his hand to point to the pattern. "This."
Xiang Tian could naturally see that Gu Nan was wearing exquisite clothes, and with his eyesight in this line of work, he was better than others, and he could judge what level of customer this was and how to deal with it when he looked at this dress.
"Sir is really good eye, this fancy just got back a few days ago......"
Gu Nan reached out and picked up the fast fabric and rubbed it in his hand. "That's it, make a cheongsam according to her size."
Shang Jia was stunned, then turned his head and glanced at Gu Nan, why did he always feel that this man had some admirable genes.
"Good, good!" Xiang Tian was a little excited, probably because he didn't expect to make a deal so soon, you must know that these days, poor people can't even afford to buy a pair of shoes, and there are even fewer people who go to tailor shops to make clothes.
"What are you doing? Measure the lady! Xiang Tian yelled at the little girl who was stunned on the side.
The little girl immediately picked up the cloth ruler on the side and measured the yard as if she had returned the yang, and Shang Jia stretched out her hand cooperatively.
"How old are you?" She asked.
The little girl braided a pair of braids, looking stunned and stupid, she was stunned and then looked at Shang Jia, as if she didn't know how to answer.
Xiang Tian was immediately a little angry when he saw that she didn't answer, and picked up the ruler on the side and prepared to do it.
"Hey......" Shang Jia was about to step forward to stop him, but before he could reach out his hand, Gu Nan suddenly laughed.
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate for a big man to bully a little girl." He said lazily, there was no meaning to help anyone in his words, and every word was light.
"I'm ......," the little girl behind Shang Jia trembled with fright. I'm 15 years old......" Her words were purely scared......
Xiang Tian also smiled when he saw this. "The child of my distant relative, if I have to bring Tongyang for training, I just scare her when I see a smile." He played a round.
"It's better not to be scared of the little girl, it's hard to explain if you're scared." Shang Jia said and smiled.
Even though she was only three years older than the girl, she couldn't help but shake her head at the thought of this.
"No, just get used to it." Xiang Tian said and looked at the little girl again, "Did you write it down?" ”
"Well, what about memorization...... the little girl turned and picked up the pen and paper on the sewing machine, and wrote the numbers on it, as if they were pieces of the paper that had been put together.
"A big man, it's better to be gentle with a little girl." Shang Jia didn't know how to come up with this sentence in a daze, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Gu Nan's face darkened slightly unconsciously.
"You see you're not locals, are you?" Xiang Tian was almost dressed with a smile on his face.
"We're locals." Shang Jia said.
In this year, telling people that she is not a local is that she clearly wants to be trapped, so she doesn't want to be fooled.
"If you want to make this dress, it will take some time, the two of you will pay half of the price first, and you will take it in two days, are the places where the two of you live far from here?"
"Not far." Gu Nan said and paid half of the money at the cash register.
Shang Jia stood in front of the sewing machine and looked at the little girl. "Where is your hometown?" She asked.
The little girl glanced at her, with a hint of fear in her eyes, is she so terrible and unwelcome?
"Tongyang Five Villages." The little girl said.
"Is there anyone else in your family, when are you going to go home like this?"
The wheels on the soles of the little girl's feet suddenly stopped, "There is an elder brother, and there is a sister...... "and a brother-in-law" as she added. ”
Shang Jia didn't ask more questions when she didn't bring her parents with her, Gu Nan happened to come out of the cashier at this moment, and Shang Jia stepped forward to hold his hand
Xiang Tian said a few words behind the two, but she didn't listen carefully.
