Chapter 185: Acting
You just break it blindly, and you still run a cloth shop, how can any merchant dress like this?
Ye Xiaoyu couldn't stop laughing in her heart, but her expression was still arrogant.
"Who are you? My clothes are good-looking, but the style is like this, you can see it when you open your eyes, and what else to talk about, you may not be able to learn it anyway. β
Ye Xiaoyu stared at him, looking unwilling to deal with him.
"Contemptible people, I once stayed in Huzhou for a while, it is said that there has been a very popular tailor-made clothes recently, look at the young lady's body, isn't it bought there?"
The little old man rolled his eyes and began to talk nonsense according to Ye Xiaoyu's words just now.
But Ye Xiaoyu waited for him to talk nonsense, so that she could continue to act in this play.
"You know the goods. Well, for the sake of your knowledge, I will reluctantly tell you about the recent situation in Shanghai. Recently, the most sought-after thing there is this sewn clothes, but this is not just a matter of sewing two stitches, each piece of clothing has gone through several processes, not only the fabric is high-quality, but also in terms of style and pattern. After all the clothes are done, they are hung in a special clothing store pΓΉ for sale, and the price is ...... It is impossible for ordinary people to eat and consume...... Moreover, I heard that recently Yuejing is also planning to open a ready-to-wear store, the name is called "Lingyu Ready-to-wear", it is said that the old owner is in Shanghai to open a ready-to-wear store, clothing, workmanship and the like should not be too bad, but when it will open, it is difficult to say......
Ye Xiaoyu said eloquently, as if Huzhou was really popular with ready-to-wear.
Even though the location is northerly. But the temperature in early winter was not too low, and the complicated clothes on her body made Ye Xiaoyu a little irritable.
As the angle of the sun continued to increase, the teahouses on the street also opened their doors one after another, looking at the back of the little old man in the distance, Ye Xiaoyu left the noodle stall with satisfaction. Originally, she was going to pay, but Qinglang was quite deep in the essence of acting, and before Ye Xiaoyu could take out his purse, he walked over and paid generously.
But the play is not over yet. Let the fire burn. Ye Xiaoyu still needs to add another handful of firewood.
In this time and space when the spread of news is lagging behind, the spread of an incident, in addition to relying on the government to post big-character posters, is people's word of mouth.
And those gangsters who often linger in the major teahouses and restaurants in Yuejing City have nothing to do. It becomes the main disseminator of the message. These people are idle on weekdays. But it's the source of all sorts of gossip. It also has a bit of a close relationship with those storytellers, after all, if you rely on the story in the book alone. If there is no real gossip embellishment, once or twice is fine, and if you listen to too many listeners, you will find it boring. If you want the story to be told always new, it must be combined with current social events. And many of these current affairs have to rely on these gangsters who are all over the capital to investigate.
Shopkeeper Liu has been in Yuejing for decades, and the contacts he has accumulated over the years are not only those high-ranking officials and nobles, but also the idlers at the bottom of society.
So entrusted by Ye Xiaoyu, he found a guy in the Yuling cloth workshop and asked him to inadvertently reveal the news that ready-to-wear was popular in Shanghai, and Yuejing was going to open a ready-to-wear store to a certain idler.
However, at that time, although Ye Xiaoyu designed these things perfectly and also envisioned the effect of publicity when the goal was achieved, he was still not sure whether such a little trick could be effective. So she was a little nervous when she opened today, especially Lu Yishou, Lu Qian, and Lu Meijiao, who were all present.
This is the first time to open a store, and she is really worried that after the firecrackers and lion dances are lively, the shop will be crowded, and if so, the loss will be more than just money.
Fortunately, the actual situation made Ye Xiaoyu put her mind at ease, maybe it was because of her own advertising effect, maybe because of Liu's shopkeeper's good connections and big face, since just now, more and more people have come to visit the shop, in addition to those dignitaries and nobles specially invited by Shopkeeper Liu to support the scene, there are also some young ladies and ladies who came out of curiosity. For a while, the shop was very lively, and a few people from the Lu family still couldn't entertain them in person.
Even Qinglang, who has always been indifferent, was forced by Lu Meijiao to help serve tea and pour water.
Because it was the first day of opening, in order to attract more customers, Ye Xiaoyu played the signboard of "Opening Reward", anyone who buys clothes in the store on October 16 and October 17 will be given a handkerchief of "Yuling Cloth Fang", and the more you buy, the more you will give, and there is no upper limit.
Such a sign was hung at the door of the shop, which naturally attracted a group of passers-by to enter the store to watch.
Because it is in the prosperous area of Yuejing East District, the area of the ready-to-wear shop is not too large, and there are many people like this, and there are crowds, Ye Xiaoyu immediately has the illusion of being in a "canned sardine".
Although it is a joint stock with Shopkeeper Liu, the name of the Lu family is still hanging on the face of the ready-to-wear shop, so seeing that the Lu family is helping in the shop, Shopkeeper Liu left first, after all, he still has to take care of such a large Yuling cloth workshop, and the time is indeed a little unavailable.
"I said Ye Xiaoyu, I can't see it, you really have such two ......"
Lu Qian packed a woman's clothes, sent her to the door of the shop, and looked back to see Ye Xiaoyu and said with a smile. She always knew that Ye Xiaoyu had a lot of flowers and intestines in her stomach, but she didn't expect to really make a shop for her in Yuejing City. If Ye Xiaoyu is a man and has his own shop in Yuejing City, then the matchmaker who proposes marriage should not step on the threshold of Lujiazhuang.
"Wow, how lucky I am to be able to get a compliment from Miss Lu, I have to go back to the temple to burn a few more pillars of incense......"
Ye Xiaoyu moved to the side and let the guests pass by, while laughing and joking with Lu Qian.
"You're not bad, seeing that you're very busy, in the future, the operation of this shop will be handed over to you."
Seeing that Lu Qian was busy entertaining guests just now, and kept introducing clothes to them, she didn't look like the rude lady in Lujiazhuang on weekdays, Ye Xiaoyu felt that it would be good to hand over the daily operation of the shop to Lu Qian, but when she thought that she was the eldest lady of Lujiazhuang, she dispelled this idea.
"Are you serious? In spite of. I'll take it seriously, I'll tell my dad later, let's do it together, I'll manage the shop in Yuejing, and you provide clothes for the shop in the village, how good it is, and it can also save the wages of hiring someone to look after the shop. β
Before today, Lu Qian really didn't know what she was suitable for, she didn't want to study, although she was forced by Lu Yishou to study with her husband since she was very young. But until now. She only recognized a few words, but Lu Qian felt that it was almost the same, and she felt inexplicably irritated when she looked at the twisted and twisted font. Even if Qianyi's lecture last year was so good. She still wouldn't listen.
She didn't want to embroider even more. Let her lie motionless at the table all day. With her eyes still on the tiny pinhole, it would be better to tell her to die directly.
Not to mention farming, needless to say, she doesn't want to. Even if she is willing, her mother will not agree to let her go, the eldest lady of the dignified Lujiazhuang, who stays in the ground all day long, what kind of system. If you are tanned, will you still be able to get married when the time comes? Last year, her father asked her to go to the ground, and then it was not over, and she didn't want to worry about this kind of rough work.
But from the moment she started greeting guests, she found what she wanted to do.
To be the proprietress of a shop in the most prosperous place in Yuejing, the key is that this shop does not sell anything else, but sells good women's ready-to-wear, which is not equivalent to giving Lu Qian a ready-made huge wardrobe? She can wear clothes made of the latest and finest fabrics, and in a variety of styles, she will not be the same every day. And every day's work is to introduce styles and colors to the official ladies who come to the store to see the clothes, and talk to them about the latest fashion trends in Yuejing, which is simply a fairy-like life.
Anyway, Ye Xiaoyu is a hard worker, compared to this kind of unseen life, she must be more willing to stay in the countryside garment workshop and work with those female workers, like the high-class life in Yuejing City, the best candidate is of course herself.
"Huh? β¦β¦β
Unexpectedly, Lu Qian really paid attention to the shop, Ye Xiaoyu was a little surprised, and was speechless in an instant.
Anyway, Lu Qian is idle at home, and it is not impossible to hand over the operation of the shop to her, and seeing that she was talking and laughing with those rich ladies just now, this job should be very suitable for her. If Lu Qian comes to the shop, he is not afraid that there will be no helper, and Liu Yu will definitely follow.
Ye Xiaoyu thought about it while looking at Liu Yu, who was serving tea and pouring water with Qinglang, and the little abacus in her heart had already been made, but this time, because it was Lu Qian, she was not very sure that she would be able to make it. Not to mention whether Lu Qian is hot for three minutes, even if she really likes it here and can stick to it, Lu Yishou and his wife will definitely not agree, because Lu Qian is still a yellow flower girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet.
Yuejing City is a metropolis, and people's minds may still be relatively open-minded, but in Quanxiu Village, girls who have not been out of the cabinet are doing business in the city, and those who show up will definitely be talked about.
Ye Xiaoyu herself is a living example, from the time when she was a handkerchief, she began to be talked about, and then to the cusp of the "Fruit and Vegetable Plan", and then to now, the news of opening a store in Yuejing has not yet spread, and once it spreads, it will definitely be another comment. However, Ye Xiaoyu is not Lu Qian, she doesn't plan to get married, and there are no parents to control her, if Lu Yishou and his wife really can't get used to it, they can only talk about it, and they can't really do anything with her, so as long as they are strong enough in their hearts, they can ignore those people. And she is not a person of this era, she doesn't care about things like women's three obedience, four virtues, etiquette, etc.
"Big brother, I said that you are really good, you can do business and not to mention, now that you have a daughter halfway through, you are also so capable......"
Lu Meijiao walked over with a smile and said to Lu Yishou.
Busy entertaining guests, even in early winter, Lu Yishou was still tired and sweating, originally wanted to come over and talk to Ye Xiaoyu, but he just walked in front of Ye Xiaoyu before he thought about it, and Lu Meijiao, who had been drinking tea there, came over.
"Look at what you said, my daughter is better than me...... Haha"
Lu Yishou said with a smile, the proud expression on his face was about to overflow.
Ye Xiaoyu stood beside him, listening to Lu Yishou say this, he didn't know what to answer, so he could only laugh dryly.
"That's it, Xiaoyu is so like you, if we didn't know the roots, I would have suspected that she was your daughter ...... eldest brother."
Lu Meijiao seemed to be smiling, and seemed to come to such a sentence casually. A pair of charming Danfeng eyes stared at Ye Xiaoyu, and a charming look came to her face. (To be continued......)
