Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Beautiful Tailor
Fengcheng as a tourist city, every day of the statutory holidays, the number of tourists who come here is like a carp crossing the river, not to mention the Chinese people from all over the world, even the black people in Africa.
Those tourists who travel by car have greatly increased the traffic pressure in Fengcheng.
On May Day, the sun was shining, the temperature was significantly higher, and the summer heat began to gradually release its power.
On the streets, in scenic spots, and in shopping malls, girls in summer clothes add a bit of youthful vitality to the whole city.
At the gate of Fengqi Community, Gao Zhan took Bai Lu and Lu Ying and waited for half an hour before stopping a taxi and staying in the parking lot of Youhua Shopping Mall to get off, and even Gao Zhan was startled by the fire storm scene in the shopping mall.
Located in the center of the city of Jianshe Middle Road, Youhua Mall usually has a prosperous business, and when it comes to May Day, the customers and tourists who come and go to the mall seem to be shoulder to shoulder.
Even Gao Zhan was frightened, let alone Bai Lu and Lu Ying, who had never visited a large shopping mall.
The two girls held Gao Zhan's arm tightly on the left and right, for fear of being scattered and lost, Gao Zhan didn't feel anything, but the kind of lethality that Bai Lu and Lu Ying had with them almost didn't make the already crowded mall chaotic.
Bai Lu wore a watermelon red Korean version of the new summer women's T-shirt today, the front chest is decorated with golden beads shining with metallic luster, and the elastic fabric shows the curves of her upper body exquisitely clear, with the terrazzo blue skinny denim cropped pants she wears, white sneakers, pink silk edge socks, and lined with two delicate studs, the whole person looks super fashionable.
Lu Ying is wearing a slim short-sleeved pullover with half of the black and white stripe, the upper half is pure white, there is a gray elephant pattern embroidered with a towel on the left chest, a light blue bead chain is hung on the slender white neck, a diamond-shaped silver glittering delicate earring is worn on each ear, and a pair of tight dark blue velvet slim trousers are worn underneath, and a pair of black and shiny thin leather shoes are worn over the meat silk socks.
Bai Lu tied a ponytail at the back of her head with a purple hairband, and Lu Ying used a black hairpin to pull her long hair into a beautiful hair.
The two women, one young and lively and beautiful, and the other with a charming surname, walked into the mall, causing both men and women to look back, causing several men and women to almost fall to the ground because they walked forward while turning around.
Beauties like Bai Lu and Lu Ying, having a companion is enough to make men greedy, and now both of them are intimately holding a white short T-shirt casual wear, looking full of sunshine and vitality, which does not envy the male surname in the mall.
Standing on the escalator, Bai Lu and Lu Ying looked around from time to time, and occasionally asked Gao Zhan out loud.
Gao Zhan is not the owner of the mall, and he can't even talk about half a bucket of water for this kind of professional work, so he can only talk nonsense about some common sense he has read from online novels.
No, when it came to the wrong point, the two young women standing in front of them covered their mouths and snickered from time to time.
Of course, Gao Zhan ignored all of them, even if he miscalculated, he had to hold on, anyway, Lu Ying and Bai Lu didn't understand, but they couldn't ruin his glorious image in the minds of the two.
According to Lu Ying's needs, the first stop of the mall went straight to the underwear counter with the female surname.
For women's underwear brands, Gao Zhan often saw Triumph in the urban works at the starting point, so he was a good expert and took Bai Lu and Lu Ying straight to Triumph's counter.
All kinds of underwear and erotic underwear of different styles naturally dazzled Lu Ying and Bai Lu. When they were in Jiangshan Beauty, with the temptation of Gao Zhan, and Li Qian also told them some common sense about women's underwear, Lu Ying and Bai Lu of course no longer understood women's underwear.
You must know that since he lived in the beauties of the country, Gao Zhan consciously dressed up Lu Ying and Bai Lu to guide the urban beauties, if the dress is too rustic, it will be ridiculed and alienated in the city in the future.
On Taobao, they also bought back n more treasures, which are not erotic underwear.
Online shopping and counter consumption are definitely two different feelings.
In the Triumph underwear counter, the shopping guide was guiding several other customers with female surnames at this time. Lu Ying and Bai Lu both walked in from the outside with Gao Zhan in their arms, the beauty of the woman and the handsomeness of the man naturally attracted the attention of all the ladies present.
Like this kind of underwear counter with female surname, it is generally rarely patronized by male surnames. Even if there is, he hurriedly took a note with the size and style written on it and handed it to the female shopping guide, and then stuffed it into a paper bag and fled.
Like Gao Zhan, with two superb beauties, talking and laughing at all kinds of underwear in the counter, this situation is really rare.
Lu Ying's cup is 36D, and Bai Lu can only wear 34C, the underwear is indeed beautiful, but the price tag makes Lu Ying and Bai Lu a little daunted.
As a result, Gao Zhan played a macho role, and chose two lace outfits in black and purple for Lu Ying, and two pure white and pink for Bai Lu.
Holding the goods list opened by the shopping guide, Gao Zhan swiped the card at the cash register, while Bai Lu and Lu Ying whispered in the counter with the erotic underwear that Gao Zhan bought and sold for them, and a few traces of red glow flew on Bai Lu's pretty little face from time to time.
Coming out of the Triumph counter, Lu Ying and Bai Lu carried a branded paper bag, holding their arms from left to right, and walked slowly to the fashion women's clothing counter at the other end.
In the past, the clothes Gao Zhan bought for the two of them were all purchased online, Lu Ying and Bai Lu didn't know the price of those clothes, and today they saw that four sets of underwear cost more than 1,500 yuan, which made the second daughter, who has always been a thrifty housekeeper, heartbroken.
Looking at the women's clothing counters of brands such as Red Sleeves, Egger, Ou Shili, and ONLY, Lu Ying and Bai Lu said that they would not buy anything about those clothes with a price discount of 1,000 or tens of thousands. The two of them studied well this time, first looked at the price, then looked at the style, and saw these clothes that were sky-high for them, and they refused to even enter the counter.
Gao Zhan can't say one, two, or three about the quality of women's clothing brands, but he often sees only advertisements on CCTV, and he takes it upon himself to drag Lu Ying and Bai Lu into the only counter.
Although Bai Lu and Lu Ying were wearing only the Korean version of women's clothes that Gao Zhan bought for them from Taobao, they definitely looked better than those so-called models when they wore them.
Although the height of the two girls is less than 1.7 meters, they are both extremely good in body shape, absolutely to have mountains and mountains, to have water and water, the convex place is absolutely convex, the warped part is absolutely warped, and then lined with their unique pure, cold and glamorous temperament, I don't know the bottom of the fine when Gao Zhan is a small open with a background.
Seeing Gao Zhan pull Lu Ying and Bai Lu in, the female shopping guide with a tall figure and quite delicate facial features had a professional smile on her horse, "Welcome to only fashion women's clothing, this gentleman, your two female companions are really very beautiful, if they are paired with our only women's clothing, they will definitely make the two beauties more radiant." ”
Gao Zhan smiled and nodded at the female shopping guide, "Please help them introduce a few new women's clothes that are suitable for them to wear, Miss is a professional, I think, your introduction should not disappoint me." ”
I secretly said in my heart that I have caught a lot of money today, looking at the Triumph paper bag carried by the two beauties, it is estimated that the handsome guy in front of him is a master who is willing to spend money, and today's commission must be indispensable. The shopping guide lady was secretly happy, first looked at Lu Ying's height and body shape, and immediately picked up a purple-blue dress from the hanger, compared it with Lu Ying, and said with a smile: "Sir, look, the style and tone of this skirt, with the skin tone that this beauty is so well maintained, it is really a perfect match!" ”
"Sister Ying, put it on and try it." Gao Zhan nodded lightly and smiled at Lu Ying.
Lu Ying took the purple-blue skirt from the shopping guide's hand, looked at the forbidden price: ¥1280.00, turned to Gao Zhan and said, "This is too expensive, Zhan, let's take a look!" ”
"Beauty, this price is not expensive, our only women's clothing has always been only sold right, not expensive, and the surname price ratio is quite cost-effective among similar women's clothing brands. Your skin is so good, this skirt is simply tailor-made for you, it doesn't matter if you buy it or not, you can wear it first and try it, and then buy it if it's suitable. "How could the shopping guide miss today's hard-won big business, and launched a three-inch incorruptible tongue to lobby.
"Don't worry about the price, try it first." Although Gao Zhan's tone was flat, there was a vague prestige that Lu Ying couldn't refuse.
Lu Ying took the skirt and looked at it over and over, opened the thumb and middle finger of her right hand, and measured the shoulders, chest, and waist of the skirt, "Zhan, this skirt is one and a half inches wide at the shoulders, and the waist is two inches larger, and I don't wear it very well." ”
Lu Ying's actions, the shopping guide thought that she was deliberately making excuses not to buy, and said that if she measured it so accurately with her hands, then what would she do with a tape measure, of course, this shopping guide lady's professional quality is quite good, she still maintained an amiable smile on her face, took a small soft ruler from the hanger, measured it on Lu Ying's shoulders and waist, and then measured it compared to the skirt, the result was that the shopping guide lady suddenly showed a surprised expression on her face, "It's really amazing, it's really exactly the same size as you said!" ”
Gao Zhan also felt very amazing at this time, Lu Ying only measured a few times with his fingers, and it was not far from the ruler, he was very interested for a while, walked to the hanger and picked out two women's clothes that he thought were better-looking, took them and handed them to Lu Ying, and said with a smile: "Sister Ying, you try these two again." ”
So, Lu Ying measured the two women's clothes with her fingers a few times, and then reported a few unsuitable sizes for the bust, shoulder width, and waist circumference.
The shopping guide didn't think much about measuring Lu Ying's bust with a soft ruler, and then spread out the two women's clothes that Gao Zhan picked out on the counter and measured them carefully, so the female shopping guide was once again admired by Lu Ying's magical finger measurement, looking at the big beauty with a cold temperament and a sense of surname, her eyes were full of adoring little stars, "This gentleman, is your girlfriend a fashion designer?" ”
Bai Lu seemed to think of something at this time, looked at Gao Zhan and asked proudly: "Sister Lu's mother, she was a famous tailor in the nearby village back then, and everyone lined up to find her to make clothes during the New Year's holidays, of course Sister Lu is also very powerful!" ”
Bai Lu's words are actually not wrong at all, when Lu Ying's mother went to the countryside as an educated youth, she was indeed a famous seamstress around Baijia Village, and everyone would ask Lu's mother to make new clothes during the New Year's holidays.
As for her baby daughter, of course, she will not let it go, in a mountain village, there is no craft more suitable for women than this, so from the age of four or five, Lu Ying's mother taught Lu Ying the craft she knew, so that in the future, Lu Ying will have a craft to support herself.
Seeing Gao Zhan's eyes looking at her without blinking, Lu Ying nodded lightly, when Lu's mother died, Lu Ying was fourteen years old and fifteen years old, almost the same age as Bai Lu now, in fact, long before her mother died, she had already started to help her mother make clothes, but outsiders didn't know it, thinking that it was all Bai's mother's craftsmanship, but it can also be seen that Lu Ying's craftsmanship is absolutely no problem.
From four or five years old to fourteen or fifteen years old, more than ten years is definitely not a short time, plus Lu Ying is also very hard-working, and he is very talented and aura, so in the craft of tailoring, he is absolutely high!
But it's a pity that with the death of Lu's mother, Lu Ying was named the White Tiger Fierce Star, and no one asked her to make clothes anymore, so gradually, everyone forgot about it, and no one knew that this Lu Ying had learned his mother's craftsmanship solidly, and even won and won with blue.
Since the death of his mother, although Lu Ying has no clothes to do, he has not put down this homework, but has become obsessed with Miao embroidery...... The only one who has really seen her level is Gao Zhan, and Gao Zhan, where does he know what Miao embroidery, even if Lu Ying embroidered his clothes or handkerchiefs, he only thinks it is good, in his eyes, there seems to be no difference between this hand embroidery and mechanical embroidery, and it is not even as neat as mechanical embroidery, but it is just more expressive.
Knowing that Lu Ying still had this unique skill, Gao Zhan's interest suddenly increased, he discussed it with the shopping guide, and then let Lu Ying pick it up at this counter.
Lu Ying didn't use a soft ruler at all, of course, her own figure was well known, and she picked a few relatively well-fitting women's clothes, however, after pondering for a while, she recombined and matched the colors and styles of those women's clothes, and after obtaining the consent of the shopping guide, she made slight changes to several places of the clothing with hairpins, and as a result, when she put the changed women's clothes she selected from the fitting room and wore them on her body, even the female shopping guide had a feeling of amazement.
"Sir, your girlfriend must be a big-name fashion designer, and these sets of women's clothes that she has matched and changed have obviously improved a lot." The female shopping guide looked at Gao Zhan very seriously and said.
Big-name fashion designer? It seems that this title Sister Lu is not worthy of it now, according to Lulu, Sister Lu is a good tailor. Gao Zhan pondered in his heart, and a calm smile appeared on his face, "My girlfriend used to be just a tailor, but I think she definitely has the potential to become a fashion designer." ”
Tailor, damn, have you ever seen such a beautiful tailor? Miss shopping guide is very bs in her heart, now the barber is not called a barber, it is called an image designer, and a tailor is not called a tailor, it is called a clothing designer, in fact, it is not all the same thing.
With such a play, Gao Zhan was naturally in a good mood, so he asked Lu Ying to ignore the price, first pick three sets, and then pick three sets for Lulu.
This shopping guide is very good at business, she thinks that she must be very knowledgeable from Lu Ying's ability in clothing design, and she can't be too ruthless in price, otherwise she won't look down on the level of others, and take the initiative to show favor to Lu Ying, within the scope of her authority, these six sets of women's clothes are all discounted by seven.
Although there was a seven-fold discount, when Gao Zhan went to the cashier to swipe his card, he still swiped 5,972 yuan from his card.
Under the warm gift of the shopping guide and the welcome to come again next time, Gao Zhan took Lu Ying and Bai Lu out of the only women's clothing counter happily.
Although the expensive price made Lu Ying's heart ache, she was accustomed to being obedient to Gao Zhan, and after Gao Zhan swiped her card back to the counter, she no longer said much, but silently pondered in her heart, why the price of a few simple pieces of fabric would be dozens or even hundreds of times the cost of the fabric after matching?
The first time he took Lu Ying and Bai Lu to the mall, of course, Gao Zhan had to have fun. Although his current economic conditions can't afford to buy those big foreign brands and luxury goods, he feels that he still has the ability to consume domestic mid-range brands, in line with this purpose, Gao Zhan bought a handbag, a pair of leather shoes, a pair of sandals, and a pair of casual shoes for the two women after buying clothes for them.
Originally, they planned to go to the cosmetics counter to buy some cosmetics for the two of them, but Lu Ying and Bai Lu said that they didn't want anything, and in the end, Gao Zhan just bought a lipstick and a bottle of perfume for each of them.
Seeing that Gao Zhan bought so many clothes for them, Lu Ying and Bai Lu asked Gao Zhan to buy some for themselves. Gao Zhan thought that he hadn't bought new clothes and pants for a long time, so he happily took the two delicate beauties down to the sports brand counter on the third floor.
At the Reebok and Li Ning counters, I bought two sets of clothes and shoes. Then I went home.
For today's trip, Lu Ying is really eye-opening, very much Grandma Liu's taste of entering the Grand View Garden, she used to nest in the mountain village every day, her world is only as big as the mouth of the cup, and her understanding of tailoring is also very limited, but when she came out today, she suddenly found that the knowledge in this tailoring is really too big.
In fact, in terms of handicraft, craftsmanship, production technology, etc., Lu Ying doesn't have any feelings, mechanical works are never as aura, so suitable, and so expressive as handmade works, but in the design and tailoring of clothing, she was inspired and impacted really too big, which made her views and concepts of tailoring change earth-shattering in an instant.
In the past, her understanding of clothing was to fit, to keep warm, to be strong, to be decent, to be in line with everyone's identity and image, in line with their figures, but after walking around today, she suddenly realized that in fact, ...... Those are just the basic requirements of clothing, not the essence of the gods, to discover beauty, to pursue beauty, to create beauty, this is the goal of a tailor's life, on this road, there is only a starting point, there is no end!
On the way back, Lu Ying, who had never taken the initiative to ask Gao Zhan for anything, opened his mouth for the first time, facing this, Gao Zhan was very happy and happy, this is a bit of a husband and wife, so Gao Zhan took Lu Ying and Bai Lu to Xinhua Bookstore, and bought Lu Ying more than ten textbooks and materials related to clothing design, design concepts, and popular trends, which made Lu Ying happy. This gorgeous book made her love it.
Afterwards, Lu Ying and Bai Lu took the receipts issued by the mall and counted the general account, and spent a total of more than 11,000 yuan today, which made them so heartbroken that they almost had to go back to the mall to return the goods.
