The first batch of tea was successfully transported to Kyoto, and it was sold out on the same day, Song Lingyue and the tea house made a lot of money, and shared the profits according to the agreement, and Song Lingyue ordered a second batch with the boss.

In the blink of an eye, all the powerful people from all walks of life began to move around during the festival, Jin Kaimen's business became more and more popular, although Song Lingyue no longer had to dance every day, but she had to go every day, not for Nicholas Chen, she also had to deal with her own guests.

After a round of wine outside, Song Lingyue returned to the big box, and several chiefs and their female companions were chatting.

Song Lingyue listened attentively, several ladies were complaining that it was difficult to order clothes in Kyoto, it was almost the New Year, and the wives and aunts and ladies in various mansions and mansions had to customize new clothes, but there were only a few famous clothing shops in Kyoto, and they couldn't be busy at all.

Although ready-to-wear is also a good material, it is not as good as a customized fit, and it is no shame to say it, so it is no wonder that these ladies are dissatisfied.

After listening to it for a while, Song Lingyue suddenly had an idea, if she opened a clothing shop and made clothes specifically for famous ladies, it was also a good way, there was a season every year, even if it was not a festival, clothes were indispensable, and she also had connections now, and the business could last for a long time.

Although there was a lot of money on the tea, it was only a while ago, during this time the transportation was passed, plus the New Year's Festival, each tea house had enough supplies, and the price naturally dropped, and he couldn't make any money.

was thinking about things silently, and a lady next to her pushed her and asked her with a smile, "Miss Moon, I see that you have a lot of taste in your clothes, I don't know where your clothes are custom-made, can you introduce us to a few pieces?" ”

Song Lingyue's clothes, most of which were custom-made for her by Nicholas Chen, with him coming forward, no matter how big the clothing shop was, he didn't dare not give priority to making them for her.

But she can't say this, otherwise people will think she is showing off, and after thinking about it, she said: "I don't do it from those big shops, I know a tailor with good skills, so let him make clothes for me, it's hard to be liked by you." ”

As soon as these words came out, several ladies next to them were also moved, and they came over one after another and asked Song Lingyue if they could make a few clothes for them too.

Song Lingyue just said it casually, but she didn't expect them to take it seriously, although she had the idea of opening a shop, but she couldn't open it for a while, so naturally she couldn't respond, otherwise she wouldn't be able to pay the difference, wouldn't it be a joke.

Several people saw that her face was difficult, and one of them was more knowledgeable, so they relieved the siege and said: "Let's not embarrass others, Miss Moon has only one tailor, and she also has to make clothes for the New Year. ”

Song Lingyue smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I also have more than enough to stand up, I'm afraid it won't work a year ago, if you really want to make clothes, you can only do it after the festival." ”

One person answered: "It's okay after the festival, there are still a lot of solar terms after the Spring Festival, and it is indispensable to make clothes, if you can, you can talk to your tailor and make a few pieces for us!" If he does it well, he will benefit from it. ”

Song Lingyue thought about finding a shop and then a tailor, how could it be opened after the year, so she agreed, "Okay, I'll tell him when I go back, let him go to the house to measure your size when he has time." ”

Everyone responded one after another, and left their respective addresses so that she could bring people to the door in the future.

Early the next morning, Song Lingyue disguised herself as a man again, went to the street to find a shop, turned to an alley, and saw a sign hanging the shop at a glance, looked up at the signboard, it was actually a small clothing shop, the façade was not big, but the plaque on the door was quite creative, but it was opened in the remote place at the mouth of the alley, and the shop was small, no wonder it couldn't be opened, and it was going to be transferred.

There was a thick curtain hanging on the door of the shop, and Song Lingyue answered outside, lifted the curtain and walked in.

The light in the room is a little dim, but it is very clean, and there are a few racks for hanging clothes neatly at the back, and there are some clothes on it, but the style is old-fashioned, and it is no longer fashionable.

There is a large case of tailoring clothes by the door, and there are neatly stacked clothes tools, measuring tapes, scratching powder, scissors and all kinds of needles and threads.

Behind the case sat a lean man, in his early thirties, dressed quite neatly, sewing a piece of clothing, and when he saw someone coming in, he was still a well-dressed young master, and hurriedly stood up.

"This young master, do you want to make clothes, or do you want to look at the storefront?"

Song Lingyue glanced at the clothes in his hand, it was a cheongsam, and a small opening was made on the side, he had already sewed half of it, and the needlework was fine, which showed that his craftsmanship was good.

"What do you call this big brother?" Song Lingyue deliberately raised her voice, imitated the man's voice, and asked politely.

"Oh, the contemptible surname is Xie, you can call me Tailor Xie, what do you call this little young master?"

Song Lingyue smiled, "My surname is Rong." "Song Lingyue's name can't come forward to do business, she has already recognized Rong Ma as her godmother, and it is much more convenient to use Rong Ma's surname to the outside world.

"Young Master Rong, then you are looking at the shop, right?" Tailor Xie asked.

"How do you know?"

Tailor Xie said, "Looking at your clothes, you will never come to a small shop like mine to make clothes, so you can only look at the shop." ”

Song Lingyue suddenly became interested, "What do you say?" ”

Tailor Xie pointed to the clothes on her body and said carefully: "This dress of yours is not an ordinary tweed coat, you are cashmere, the texture is light, silky, and warm on the body, but this material is imported from abroad, and Kyoto is afraid that it cannot be bought." ”

Song Lingyue nodded approvingly, and arched her hand to him, "Brother Xie really knows the goods, I think your craftsmanship is also good, why do you want to sell this shop?" ”

Mentioning this, Tailor Xie sighed, shook his head and said: "It's useless to have good craftsmanship, my craftsmanship is passed down from my grandfather's generation, and so is this shop, but it's a pity that I can't run it anymore, and now my wife and Miss all like new designs, I have no craftsmanship, and the clothes I make are not fashionable, hey!" ”

"What if I take over your shop and hire you to continue as a tailor?"

Tailor Xie was obviously stunned, "You, you're not joking, are you?" I can't run my own business at the mouth of this small alley, and if you hire me, won't you have to lose money? ”

Song Lingyue paced and looked at the room, and said lightly: "Your craftsmanship is good, I have a design, I will renovate this shop when I go back, change the signboard and reopen, I promise, the business will get better and better, you come forward, I am the boss behind the scenes, how about it?" ”

Tailor Xie was a little confused, scratched his scalp, and asked puzzledly: "Young Master Rong, you have money and a way, why do you spend so much trouble?" ”

Song Lingyue smiled and pretended to be mysterious: "My identity is special and I can't come forward to do business, so this shop still needs you to come forward." ”

Tailor Xie was even more puzzled, carefully looked at the person in front of him, and wondered, if this person's identity is so valuable, why would he take a fancy to his small shop, but if it is not valuable, why is it so mysterious?

Song Lingyue saw his doubts, and didn't explain much, got up and walked to the hanger, pulled the clothes on the top casually, and said slowly: "I run this shop, and I want to completely change it. ”

"In addition, I will hire a few for you to do the work, and buy a few more sewing machines to speed up the production of clothes. Also, I will also buy lace, silk and velvet materials, but such materials must be sewn by hand and cannot be done by machines. ”

Tailor Xie nodded again and again, and couldn't help but ask, "What you said are all good materials, and the prices are ridiculously expensive, can you really get in?" Can it be sold again? ”

Song Lingyue raised her hand, and her tone was very firm, "Don't worry, I have a source of goods, and I don't have to worry about the materials, and I'm not afraid that I won't be able to sell them, I'm afraid that I won't be enough!" ”

"Okay, wait a minute!" Tailor Xie said a word, turned around and went to the back room.

It didn't take much effort for Tailor Xie to walk out of it, still holding a box in his hand, opened it to Song Lingyue, and said, "Young Master Rong, this is the deed and title deed of this shop and the house behind it, all of them are here, you can take a look." ”

Song Lingyue took it and took a look, but it was all complete, took it back into the box, took out a check from his pocket, and handed it to Tailor Xie, "This is the money I received from you for this shop, are you satisfied with it?" ”

Before entering the door, Song Lingyue had already inquired about the prices of several shops outside, and according to the highest among them, she gave some more, and she would never let him suffer.

Tailor Xie looked at the amount on the check, hissed in his mouth, and hurriedly stuffed the check back into Song Lingyue's hand, his head shaking like a rattle, "Young Master Rong, you gave too much, my shop is not worth so much money, I don't dare to accept it." ”

Song Lingyue didn't expect this person to be so realistic, put the check on the case, and pushed it over again, "I'll take it for you, I'm a person, I don't like to worry about money, as long as Brother Xie can make the clothes well, no matter how much money I have, I'm willing to give it." ”

Tailor Xie was still embarrassed to accept it, rubbed his hands, and said: "Don't worry, you hired me, I must work hard, I can't let my craft be blind, and I can't live up to your intentions." ”

Song Lingyue nodded with satisfaction, "Very good, I'll let people come here tomorrow to renovate, I'll bring the drawings over, Brother Xie can help take a look." ”

He pointed to the box on the table and said, "Another day, I have time, and we'll go and change the paperwork." On the day of the opening, I will set up a table in Jinhua Building, and we will get to know each other again. As he spoke, he took the box and went out of the house.

Tailor Xie sent her to the mouth of the alley, watched her get on the rickshaw and left, then turned around and went back to the shop, stood at the door for a long time, hesitated, or took off the plaque first.
