Chapter Seventy-One: Picking Clothes
The commercial district of Jiming Town is actually two intersecting streets, lined with shops on both sides, and almost all the necessities of mortal life are included. There are also many other people who set up stalls, but they are scattered outside the confines of these two streets.
The townspeople live very scattered, and they have to follow what house they build and where they start, and they only need to report to the county government and pay a certain amount of land money to the Jiufang family, and this place is private property, so the town basically has no planning.
"The third shop on the left hand side of East Street...... The third shop ......" she muttered the address the snack bar owner had told her as she searched for her target.
I thought that the best ready-to-wear store in town must have a large storefront, but when I found it, I found that it was only a small store with double doors.
The store is also a little dim because of the lack of lighting, and when you walk in, you can't even see the color of the clothes hanging out, let alone the style and workmanship.
Will this be the best shop?, she turned her head and opened the doors to both sides, obviously normal, how could it be the other shops that had to open six doors, and she was a little suspicious. Should this shop have anything to do with the snack bar owner to recommend herself as an outsider, if there is any situation for a while, she has to find him to theorize, cooking is delicious, and she can't turn around and dig a pit.
After hesitation, she stepped through the door.
There was no one inside, and there wasn't even a counter, let alone the guys who came up to greet and guide them warmly.
She thought about it for a moment and decided not to look for the boss first, but to walk in front of the ready-to-wear clothes and observe them first.
It is a suit made of ordinary clothing. The style is okay, and the footing is also very fine.
One of the three women's outfits was a dress, while the other two had a shortened hem and trousers, which were clearly short hits for easy labor.
The three sets of men's clothing are all short, the fabric is thick and wear-resistant, and an extra layer is specially added inside, in case the clothes outside are torn, the inside is still the same color fabric, and it will not look abrupt at all. If necessary, you can cut out a small piece of cloth from the hem to patch it, and the design is very practical, and it should be very popular with male townspeople.
That's pretty good. She gave a passing grade in her mind, but if it was the clothes she wanted to buy, it was far from meeting the requirements.
The space in the store is really small, with six pieces of clothing, and the rest of the space is piled up with needles and threads, and tools for people who come to buy clothes.
Fortunately, after a while, the staircase in the corner remembered the sound of footsteps. She turned her head to look there, only to see a woman with a cloth towel on her head walking down, and when she saw her, she was slightly stunned, and then she sped up her pace to meet her.
"Yo, here's a visitor. I'm really sorry, I just went upstairs to get some things, I was too lazy, what does this girl want to buy?"
She greeted with great skill, and as she spoke, she put a few packets of thread in her hand in the empty dustpan, and then lifted the apron that was tied around her waist and wiped her hands.
Hua Lingyuan glanced her up and down, focusing on observing the hands to see if there were any calluses on them. If you make clothes all year round, it will definitely leave traces, isn't it? This is a necessary sign of a master.
It's just that the light here is dim, and she didn't see it too clearly after a few glances, and vaguely felt that this hand was okay, the nails were neat, and the nail seams were clean, but it was not so delicate that she didn't work. Suddenly I felt that she was a monk at all......
"I'm here to buy ready-to-wear, and it's best to have it in stock right now. She glanced at the six suits, "But the materials must be better than these." ”
"Oh, yes, these clothes are just hung out for display, and the rest are in the upstairs storeroom, I wonder what the guests want?
Hua Lingyuan replied, "There are five sets of women's clothes, which are sturdy and durable, but the colors are bright and bright, and they are paired with a long skirt. There are two sets of short black clothes, with shoes, and a belt is needed for a pocket. Men's clothing...... Two sets, the fabric must be good, you have the best here to buy according to the size. ”
The landlady's eyes lit up when she heard this, this is a big business! This little girl wants to buy nine sets of ready-to-wear clothes in one go, and the men's clothes are the best, and her single order is worth three days of business.
"Okay, girl, don't worry, my shop is famous in our town, and the workmanship and fabric will definitely satisfy you." I'm a master tailor, and I can change the amount according to your size on the spot, so you can become a repeat customer!"
After she finished speaking, she ran upstairs again, and after a while she walked down with a very thick stack of clothes. Frightened, Hua Lingyuan walked over to answer, I was really afraid that because she couldn't see the stairs, she would fall down with one foot in the air, and mortals' necks would die if they were broken, but they were very crispy.
"Thank you, thank you, there's still one upstairs, I'll go get some more, you pick slowly." ”
The female boss is very polite, but her heart is a little big, and she doesn't worry about her stealing things from an outsider when she runs upstairs and downstairs.
She left the stack of clothes on the huge empty table in the middle of the shop, thinking that she usually came here to pick out clothes for customers.
This stack is all women's clothes, the color is really bright, there are tender yellow bamboo leaves, green cheeks, red pink and the like, and there are many decorations, just unfold it to see the beautiful turnover, and hang there a few sets are not the same.
After looking at it for a while, the female boss ran down again, and this time she held more in her arms, and there were black and stuffy blue and other colors sandwiched in it.
"These are my proud works, but unfortunately the town is small, and people usually like to be strong and durable, so they have accumulated so much so now, and the guests slowly pick. ”
After she finished speaking, she also helped spread it out, and sure enough, each set had different highlights. In Hua Lingyuan's eyes, they are not afraid to sell even if they are put in the county town, so they immediately picked out four tops and four skirts, and asked for two more sets of coarse cloth clothes that are practical but much better in color than the hanging ones.
The two sets of black ones can even be guessed by ordinary people as night clothes for bad things, etc., and they don't need to be picked, and the female boss has already been put aside with a tacit understanding. It's just that the two sets of men's clothes she wants are not very satisfying to her.
"Boss, is there anything cooler for men's clothing? Don't want this kind of ordinary coarse cloth, preferably muslin glue, the style needs to be more complicated, if you can have a protective function for hunters and the like, then it is better. ”
She pushed away all the decent person's equipment in front of her, such as satin gowns and other decent people's equipment, and described them to the female boss in detail.
"What do you mean to be cool?" asked the female boss, puzzled.
"Cool, cool is the meaning that as soon as you put it on, the young man can immediately attract the attention of the little girl and become very good-looking. Hua Lingyuan described it very experienced.
The female boss looked down at the long coats that were pushed away, and said to herself, Aren't these you pushing away cool enough?
