Chapter 52: The Wonderful Use of Bras
As the sun sets, the clothing store is still full of customers.
Not only is He Laohan busy in the store, but even Cheng Shifei is here to help guard the store.
Since getting Zhe Zhao's personal promise, Cheng Shifei is full of great enthusiasm for the development of the Xiangma Gang, he knows that the clothing store is owned and operated by Cui Wenqing, so he has to guard the door for a while every once in a while to deter those hot-eyed little people.
Seeing Cui Wenqing's arrival, He Laohan was naturally overjoyed, and hurriedly prepared a banquet in the inner hall, inviting Cui Wenqing and Chengfei to talk while eating.
Cui Wenqing came for business, and he didn't drink, so he took out the rice paper and talked about the business: "Uncle, you take a look at this thing first." ”
He Laohan hurriedly took it, squinted his old eyes and carefully studied the things drawn on the rice paper, but found that he had never seen it, and couldn't help but wonder: "Dare to be uncle, what is this?" I don't know what it does? ”
Cui Wenqing said with a smile: "This thing is called a bra, which is specially worn on a woman's chest, and its main function is to show a woman's proud posture, highlight the graceful figure, prevent the chest from rubbing and shaking during exercise, and prevent sagging." ”
He Laohan and Cheng Shifei looked at each other, and they couldn't hear each other.
Cui Wenqing sighed and said bluntly: "If it is said that pants are used by men, then bras are used by women to protect the two groups of pride on their chests." ”
When these words landed, He Laohan and Chengshi were inexplicably shocked, obviously stunned by what Cui Wenqing said.
Originally, Lotus Ye was listening to them discuss things with a curious face, but when he suddenly heard Cui Wenqing's words, he understood immediately, his little face was red with shame, and he fled without saying a word.
Cui Wenqing smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, now that we are all men, we can also be outspoken, come, let's talk about it, how about this thing?" ”
Success can be regarded as a storm, but because he has not yet married, he was a little embarrassed for a while, and said: "Uncle, this is a woman's inner clothes, you are a big man holding it and talking about things, it seems a little inappropriate, right?" ”
"Brother Cheng is broad." Cui Wenqing shook his head and said: "As a clothing store, we naturally have to be proficient in all the clothes of men and women from the outside to the inside, and the clothes that can be different and make a lot of money must be studied thoroughly. ”
He Laohan nodded and said: "Uncle is right, if there was no advent of pants some time ago, maybe the little old man would still be shrunk in the silk village and live a precarious life, and now the pants business alone, how much money do we make?" Until now, it has been a full 1,000 taels! With that, he stretched out a finger and shook it, his face full of pride.
Hearing this, he was stunned for a while, he knew that the Bird's Nest pants were very profitable, but he didn't expect it to be so profitable.
In just ten days, I earned a thousand taels, which is really shocking.
"Yes, now the development of clothing stores is the last word." Cui Wenqing smiled and continued to explain in detail: "If a woman uses a bra, there are four main effects: first, it is a good way to protect the woman's chest and avoid being touched or bruised; The second is to fix the crisp hun to avoid shaking during exercise and running, and the third is to avoid sagging and maintain a proud posture; Fourth, and most importantly, it can greatly show the proud posture of a woman and show her beauty. ”
As soon as the words fell, even an old tailor like He Laohan, who made a lot of clothes, was shocked, obviously surprised by the efficacy of the bra.
Cheng Shifei was even more amazed, and all of them praised in surprise: "Uncle, don't look at you before you got married before Double Ten, you know a lot about women." ”
Cui Wenqing laughed and said, "How, uncle, do you think we can try cutting and making?" ”
After witnessing the popularity of the Bird's Nest pants, He Laohan had long been full of confidence in Cui Wenqing, and said with a smile: "Uncle is a god of clothing, as long as it is something you propose, the old man should be willing to give it a try, but ......" Speaking of this, the old man stared at the rice paper tightly, "How should this thing be made?" ”
In fact, Cui Wenqing didn't know much about the internal structure of the bra, he scratched his head, and said: "The bra can probably be divided into three parts, one is the shoulder strap, the second is the cup and bowl, and the third is the strap, in fact, it may be a little more complicated, but I can probably think of only these." ”
Strictly speaking, the bra is the most complex underwear, and Cui Wenqing, as a man, naturally only understands the approximation, and everything still needs to be explored in the practice of cutting and making.
Putting the drawings on the table, Cui Wenqing explained with a gesture: "The production of shoulder straps and straps is very simple, but you need to bring a little elastic fabric, so that it can be close enough." ”
He Laohan bowed his head and said: "Uncle, rest assured, just leave this point to the old man, and the little old man will definitely make the strap and shoulder strap according to the map." ”
Cui Wenqing nodded with satisfaction, and then frowned and said: "The only trouble is this cup and bowl, as the name suggests, this thing is a bit like an upside-down pottery bowl, specially used to wrap the crisp Hun use, this is also the most troublesome place to make the bra, according to my speculation, the cup and bowl should be made of sponge filling, but unfortunately, we don't have a sponge, and we don't have the ability to invent it, so we can only retreat and replace it with something else." ”
He Laohan's brows furrowed into pimples, and he said, "I don't know what can replace the sponge in my uncle's mouth?" ”
"Actually, I don't know." Cui Wenqing sighed lightly, thought for a while, and said: "Uncle, you are an old tailor, but what kind of fabric is light and has a certain elasticity, and is not easy to deform?" ”
He Laohan snorted, obviously twitching, and groaned for a long time before he spoke: "Otherwise, you can use kapok to make the shape of cups and bowls, and then the cups and bowls are fixed with iron wires to make them not easy to deform." ”
Cui Wenqing was stunned for a moment and said, "Iron wire? Is this possible? ”
He Laohan replied: "If it is a wire with good toughness, it will naturally work, but now the demand for iron wire on the market is small, and the blacksmith's forging technology is not hot enough, so I am afraid that it will be difficult to afford the consumption of more iron wire like a bra." ”
Hearing this, Cui Wenqing was greatly embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do for a while.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Cheng Shi, who had been silent, smiled suddenly, and asked: "Uncle, He Laohan, do you know the armor of chain mail?" ”
Cui Wenqing had vaguely heard the name of this kind of armor, but he didn't know much about the actual situation, so he asked, "I don't know what Brother Cheng means by this?" ”
Cheng Shifei said with a smile: "In fact, this chain mail is made of iron wire or copper wire with excellent toughness, and the silk is interlocked into an armor that is invulnerable to the sword, and the protection ability is extremely strong, so if you want to forge a large number of iron wires, you might as well bother the blacksmiths in the army and ask them to make it on your behalf, and you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." ”
Cui Wenqing was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "If this can be done, then it will be easy to do, uncle, I will ask you to make bras, and I will go to find wire, let's continue to discuss it in detail tomorrow." ”
He Laohan nodded and watched Cui Wenqing go away.
