0216, stable
There was a delay of almost an hour in this high-end children's clothing store, and the little girl only planned to buy two sets of clothes, but at Ning Qinghua's request, Cao Xiaoqing had no choice but to pick out a full dozen sets of clothes.
These dozen sets of clothes, not counting others, just the dress, the price is in five figures, so that the drivers on the side are secretly astonished, all the clothes, the total price is estimated to be around 100,000 yuan.
Li Kaiji felt that the other party had an extraordinary background from the beginning, and spent more than 100,000 yuan to buy some clothes for the little girl, which was normal in the eyes of the children of the Li family, so there was no surprise at all.
However, what makes Li Kaiji feel strange is that if in the past, his cousin would definitely be in a hurry to buy clothes when she saw other people's children buying so many new clothes in one go. But today, I just picked one set, and I didn't make any noise at all, and I was very well-behaved.
What's special is that I was very blind to that little girl just now, but it was only an hour, I don't know what's going on, I followed each other vigorously, like that, not to mention how dog-legged I was.
When did the "little princess" of the Li family become the followers of other children?
The little girl's dress was there, and Ning Qinghua's evening dress had not yet been settled, but fortunately, Li Kaiji, a local, heard that Ning Qinghua was going to buy a dress, so without saying a word, he took it to another high-end men's clothing store on the same floor. But after turning around, Ning Qinghua was still not satisfied.
"Brother Ning, most of this dress is a style, men can't compare to women, it's not the style that pays attention to, but the fabric and workmanship."
Seeing Ning Qinghua was never too satisfied, but Li Kaiji was good-tempered. Explain on the side.
"If I'm not afraid of Brother Li's laughter, I haven't really worn this dress in my life, so I feel awkward, is there anything Chinese?"
Ning Qinghua's words made Li Kaiji a little stunned. In many wealthy gatherings in Xiangjiang, there are indeed many people of the older generation who like to wear Tang costumes, but now. Not to mention the young people of their own generation, even their father's generation, few people wear Chinese clothes to the banquet. Ning Qinghua's age. is two years younger than himself, why do you like to wear Chinese clothes.
However, since Ning Qinghua took the initiative to ask. Li Kaiji naturally will not refuse, the other party's temperament, through the exchange just now, Li Kaiji also has some understanding. Like himself, the Ning Qinghua in front of him is probably also a very assertive person, since he said that he requires Chinese style, he must be unwilling to wear these Western-style dresses to the banquet.
However, for these Chinese Tang costumes and other clothes, Li Kaiji really doesn't know. Where to look, there was no choice but to call his grandfather.
Li Chenglong, as the boss of the world's Chinese business circle, whenever he attends a banquet in Xiangjiang or the mainland, he must be dressed in Tang costumes. Only when I go to Europe and the United States will I change into Western-style dresses. This is reflected in many of the older generation of Hong Kong business tycoons.
I finally got the "information" from my grandfather, and the time was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and the group rushed to the Chinese ready-to-wear store frequented by Li Chenglong without any delay.
The shop is very small. However, there are three floors inside, and the business is all Chinese clothing such as Tang costume cheongsam.
Compared with the international famous brands in those shopping malls, there is no brand of clothes in this store, but the price of each piece of clothing is not inferior to those international famous brands. Especially in the window of the door, a pink cheongsam with a phoenix pattern is priced as high as 700,000 yuan, which is by no means affordable for ordinary people.
The owner of the shop is also the big tailor in the shop, and it was a little strange to see Ning Qinghua and his party. Nowadays, young people rarely like Chinese clothes, especially in their own store, any piece of clothing, often tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands, the original market demand is not large, among which young people are even rarer. Even if there are one or two in a year, they are often gifts for the elders of the family.
"Hello, I don't know what style the guest wants to order?"
Although he was curious, his face was still very enthusiastic, after all, for businessmen, everyone who came was a guest, and he was kind and wealthy.
"I want a dress, I'm going to use it tonight!"
Glancing at the first floor of this store, most of them were cheongsam, and there were only a few men's clothes, and I couldn't help frowning slightly.
"This gentleman, the clothes we ordered here will take at least a month, and this will be ...... tonight"
The boss couldn't help but show a look of embarrassment on his face.
"Isn't there a ready-made one?"
Lee Kaiji stepped forward and pointed to the clothes in the store.
For those of the younger generation, most of the clothes are bought, and there are very few tailor-made clothes. Of course, if it's a big event like marriage, that's a different story.
"If the guests don't mind, of course they can!"
For this kind of "mallet", this boss is obviously very helpless. This kind of ready-made business is rare for me to encounter once a year.
The first floor of the store is the front of the customer, and most of the women's clothing on display is on display, but the men's clothing is on the second floor, and the ready-to-wear workshop is on the highest floor on the third floor.
The group followed the boss up to the second floor, and it didn't take much time at all, Ning Qinghua almost immediately fell in love with a set of white Chinese clothes with dark lines. This set of clothes is somewhat similar to the practice clothes, but it has been improved, not so procrastinated, and it looks thinner, especially the staggered yin and yang fish dark patterns on the clothes, which makes Ning Qinghua like it very much. Obviously, this dark pattern is not an ordinary printing method, but a traditional embroidery technique, which takes a lot of time and energy.
"That's it!"
The clothes in the store are different from those in ordinary clothing stores, except for the few clothes displayed in the window, there are no price cards for others, and the boss will have a record of all the sample prices for future inquiries.
"Guest, I'm afraid this dress is a little bigger."
This tailor is more than sixty years old, and has been dealing with scissors and rulers all his life, and he is naturally experienced in this area, and there is no need to measure it specifically. At a glance, there is a certain estimate in my heart.
"Isn't there a smaller size?"
Li Kaiji on the side obviously asked a rather idiotic question, these clothes are samples, under normal circumstances, they will not be sold at all, how can there be other sizes of the same clothes in the store.
Shaking his head helplessly, the boss smiled wryly.
"Then choose something else!"
"No, I don't. That's it, boss, I'll add money. Hurry up now, I'll help! ”
Ning Qinghua obviously liked this outfit quite much, and said to the boss with a smile on his face.
Help?
The boss was stunned by Ning Qinghua's words on the spot. This is no ordinary ready-to-wear store. The three masters in the shop all have at least more than 20 years of experience in this industry, and even if they bring a few apprentices, each of them has been in this industry for about ten years. The young man in front of him, looking at how old he is, even if he really did it, he can have a few years of experience.
It's not like you think of yourself as an ordinary ready-to-wear store, every ready-to-wear that goes out of your own store is finely crafted, and you can't be sloppy. Even after completion, it still needs to be tried on by the customer, and it is impossible to complete it without changing it several times.
It's a joke to have to finish a set of clothes in a few hours.
"I'm sorry. We don't take this business! ”
In the eyes of the boss, Ning Qinghua is completely here to make trouble.
Seeing the suppressed anger on the boss's face, Ning Qinghua knew that the other party had obviously misunderstood. In fact, if he didn't really like this outfit, Ning Qinghua wouldn't want to be so abrupt. However, with his own control over his body, Ning Qinghua believes. Manual work that others take days or even a dozen days to complete doesn't take much time at all.
"Boss, you don't believe me?"
"Young people, every ready-to-wear chef we have decades of experience, not those factories, all the processes are done by hand."
"Just give it a try and you'll find out!"
Ning Qinghua looked confident, looking at the old tailor in front of him with a smile on his face.
"Okay!"
As soon as the words came out, the boss was startled, how could he respond to such a ridiculous request.
"Then trouble the boss to lead the way."
Ning Qinghua had just used a little trick, and as soon as he heard the other party's nod, he quickly blocked the other party's retreat, and there was no room for the boss to turn around.
"Young man, the words can be said in the front, if it doesn't work, you still need to pay for the material costs."
For this arrogant young man, the boss obviously didn't treat him as an ordinary guest anymore, and his tone of voice was a little stiff.
"Wait, I'll go too!"
Li Kaiji, who was on the side, was also curious when he saw this situation, and immediately followed, and threw the two little girls to the driver to take care of.
"Your uncle also makes clothes?"
The little girl of the Li family asked Cao Xiaoqing with a confused face.
"Of course!"
Cao Xiaoqing replied very proudly.
On the third floor, including the boss, there were two master tailors, and two other apprentices in their thirties, but the other master tailor was resting at home today.
Although he was quite resentful of Ning Qinghua, the boss still measured his size very carefully according to the rules, recorded them one by one, and found out the clothes.
Ning Qinghua's sister-in-law He Juan was also ingenious in Shihe Village when she was young, most of Ning Qinghua's clothes when she was a child were sewn by her sister-in-law, although most of them were old clothes, but the stitches were fine, and Ning Qinghua was very careful on weekdays, and a piece of clothing could often be worn for a long time.
"I'll cut it!"
After the master drew a sample on the material, Ning Qinghua didn't hesitate at all, picked up the scissors on the side and put them on with his bare hands.
The first one was cut out, and the two masters and two apprentices present took the cut material and looked at it carefully, and it was not bad at all, and there was no raw edge.
Although the boss is also sure that he can do it, the time it takes before and after is many times that of Ning Qinghua, and more importantly, he can't do it like Ning Qinghua.
This young man is definitely not a tailor, but his hands are unimaginably stable.
Only when the heart is stable can the hand be stable, this young man is amazing! (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
