Finally saw a ready-to-wear store, Xiang Yue rushed directly in.

She has wanted to make clothes for a long time, and the dresses given to her by Fang Boyu and Princess Mingyu are all brightly colored, what yellow, green and pink, it is too childish.

She wants dark colors, such as black, dark green, and sauce red, which can make her look a little older.

"Gu Niang, it's not that I deliberately didn't pay my wages in arrears, it's really a cold business, I haven't sold a single piece for three days, and my family of three is almost unable to open the pot. You wait a few more days, and as soon as there is a business, I will give you the wages first. ”

A middle-aged man standing at the counter said apologetically to a woman dressed very plainly.

The store is small, with samples of women's dresses hanging on two walls and men's robes on one side.

Xiang Yue walked to the front of the women's ready-to-wear clothes, the Confucian skirts and jackets suitable for young women were all brightly colored, only the colors worn by women or the elderly were darker, but none of them were black.

"This young lady is so beautiful and has a good figure, and you are very beautiful in any kind of clothes and palms."

In order to get the salary, the woman took the initiative to help the shopkeeper Zhang Luo start his business, and kept praising Xiang Yue's beauty, and eagerly picked up a pink silk cotton dress to try on for her.

"You sewed it yourself?"

Xiang Yue doesn't know calligraphy, painting, or porcelain, but he has experience and attention to the fabrics and workmanship of clothes.

In ancient times, there were no sewing machines and other clothing machines, all of them were hand-sewn, depending on whether the craftsmanship was good or not, in addition to trying them on, there was also a way to look at the stitches, and the stitches of the clothes were compact and uniform. Delicate and fluent, it can be seen that the handiwork of the sewing person is quite good.

"Yes, the villain has been doing this business since he was ten years old, and it has been thirty years, does Miss think that the villain is not doing well?" The woman was very modest.

The shopkeeper had already rushed out of the counter and said busily: "This young lady, Gu Niang is the best tailor in my shop, and her craftsmanship is unique." ”

"How much does he owe you?" Xiang Yue asked Gu Niang.

Gu Niang and the shopkeeper were stunned, I don't know what she meant?

"He owes me two months' wages, two hundred copper coins." Gu Niang replied very plainly. "The shopkeeper can't be blamed for that. Business is not very good. ”

"You're good at craft, I want to hire you to be my tailor, I don't know if you'd like to? The wages were one hundred and twenty copper dollars per month. Xiang Yue knew that her monthly salary was one hundred copper coins, so he added twenty to her.

"That's not going to work." The shopkeeper was in a hurry. "There is no Gu Niang. I'm really closing. ”

"You can't even afford to pay her. Do you want her to starve to death? How about the money you owe her, and I'll pay it back for you? Or you can give me the whole store. ”

The shopkeeper and Gu Niang were stunned.

Su Chifeng just followed the door of the store. When I heard that she was going to take down the whole store, I was stunned, she didn't do enough restaurant business, and she still had to open a ready-to-wear shop?

That Gu Niang looked at the shopkeeper, the monthly salary of one hundred and twenty copper was quite tempting to her, but she was not a person who forgot her roots, what did she mean, after all, he was still his employer.

"Alas, business is not good."

The shopkeeper sighed, "If you sell the store out, you don't know what to make a living from, and if you don't sell it out, I'm afraid it won't last long." Miss, there are many poor people, and there are many people who can't afford it, I'm afraid you will lose money. ”

"I want this store, not necessarily to make money, you just say you sell or not, do you know how to make clothes? If you can, I can hire you. ”

Hearing Xiang Yue say this, Su Chifeng has a black line, she won't just make clothes for her when she buys the store, she should be the one who spends a lot of money! Which ordinary person can afford to raise her, it seems that I have to find a way to make more money, otherwise it will not be enough for her to spend.

"I sewed this piece myself, Miss, please take a look."

The shopkeeper took out a piece of clothing from it and handed it to Xiang Yue, obviously he was also moved, so he showed her his craftsmanship.

Xiang Yue looked at the stitches, not as good as Gu Niang, but not bad.

"Okay, a hundred copper dollars a month. Oh, let me introduce myself first, my name is Xiang Yue, and the Tianxing Restaurant in the northwest of the city is now mine, so you don't have to worry that I can't pay your wages. ”

"Star Restaurant? That...... The three-story Star Restaurant? ”

The shopkeeper and Gu Niang both exclaimed, the changes in the Tianxing Dining Building, everyone in the city knew that such a tall building was only lower than Taishou Mansion and Bi Hai Pavilion in Xin'an County, and everyone wanted to know who was so rich, and they couldn't imagine that it was the young girl in front of them, so how they were not surprised.

At this time, they still had any concerns, the shopkeeper immediately gave the store to Xiang Yue, paid Xiang Yue two silver taels, and got the real estate deed.

Ling Jing pulled Ye Xiaoling and happened to come over, and was a little surprised to see the shop under the Xiangyue plate.

The shopkeeper's surname is Wu, which made Xiang Yue have to look at Su Chifeng, and look at it is someone from your Wu family.

Su Chifeng coughed lightly, and was laughed at by her again, when he first came up with the fake name "Wu Ren", it was really not good, he was annoyed, he usually boasted of being erudite and talented, why did he come up with this name?

There is a not very big room at the back of the shop, which is usually the place where Gu Niang and other tailors work, and there are a few pieces of cloth in it, and Xiang Yue finally picked out the black cloth.

"Miss Xiang, how can you wear black with your identity?" Gu Niang and Wu Sheng said almost in unison.

Xiang Yue knew that black clothes were worn by those poor and low-status slaves, how could these people have the money to come to buy clothes, the poor clothes were torn, mended and mended, and could be worn for a long time, and most of the slaves' clothes were bought by the master's family and the cheapest coarse linen cloth was made by tailors.

The shop is also made to order, and the clothes that can be put out to buy are suitable for people with a moderate standard of living, after all, there are many poor people, so that the business of this store is extremely light.

"It's okay, help me measure the size, I'll draw the pattern, you can do the same."

Xiang Yue just wants to make a black dress to wear, the material is soft to the touch, it is pure cotton, she likes it very much.

They are employers, and Wu Sheng and Gu Niang didn't dare to say more, so they measured her size.

Xiang Yue lifted the pen, thought about it, and drew a set of pants, and in a few days he would have to go out with Mo Wen, and he would definitely have to ride over, and he had to get a knight's suit.

The last few times I rode a horse, I carried a skirt on the horseback, although I wore pants inside, which was always inconvenient and unsightly.

"Uh, Nightwalker? What are you going to do when you go out at night? ”

Su Chifeng leaned over to look, but was startled, thinking that she was going to make night clothes and do something to rob the rich at night.

"This is my knight's suit, what kind of night suit, you and I will do bad things." Xiang Yue glared at him fiercely.

"Riding a horse? Well, it seems to be different from the night clothes. ”

Su Chifeng took a closer look and found that the clothes she drew were very strange, which he had never seen before.

"Xiang girl, what to do with the ready-to-wear in the store?"

Wu Sheng not only gave her the store plate, but also all the ready-to-wear and fabrics in the store.

"Lingjing, you go and pick, and wear what you like."

The reason why Xiang Yue took down this shop and hired a tailor was also to prepare to change all the clothes of the people in Tianxingmen, change their faces, get rid of their previous identities, and the people who work in Tianxing Restaurant should also dress uniformly.

Ling Jing shook her head and said, "I don't need it, Miss Yue, sell those clothes if they can." ”

"Silly Lingjing, we are not short of money now, and when the new store opens, we will make a lot of money, what can you save."

Xiang Yue laughed and said: "You pick first, wait for Bai Juan, Qi Yao and Fei Yunying to come, let them choose, and I will make a few sets of beautiful clothes for each of you." ”

"Moon Maiden ......"

Ling Jing understood her intention to sell the store, and she was so moved that she burst into tears, and she didn't know how to speak.

Su Chifeng was also moved, she was so good to her subordinates, which showed that she was affectionate and righteous, and it seemed that her worries were superfluous.

Xiang Yue looked at Su Chifeng: "There are men's clothes over there, why don't you pick and choose?" You are a small shareholder of my Tianxing Restaurant, and you have a share of any benefits. ”

"Okay."

Su Chifeng was not polite, not because he fell in love with any clothes, but because he was happy that she could remember herself, this was the first time she gave it. (To be continued.) )
