Dahe's clothing store suddenly became lively.
Although there are only five styles in total, they basically cover all types, and the four sizes basically meet the body shapes of all ladies, except of course those who are too fat and too thin, which require exclusive customization with measuring tapes.
Several young ladies with outstanding looks and figures found their favorite clothes as soon as they came in.
And some of them have slight body shapes, and they are still choosing which style and color suits them.
They hoped that Cao Yingying could help suggest a dress, but Cao Yingying was too busy and was surrounded by several ladies with slightly better connections. They asked questions, mainly asking about color and style matching... These knowledge, Cao Yingying also I learned it from Cheng Wanwan, and also studied it in depth myself, so I can tell you one, two, three, four.
Cheng Wanwan walked over and said with a smile, "Do you two want to buy clothes too?"
The two ladies nodded shyly: "Sui'an people, we are not in a hurry. We will wait until Miss Cao is finished."
"It's okay, tell me if you need anything." Cheng Wanwan smiled gently, but her eyes were sharp. She glanced at the two ladies and saw clearly. She pointed to the skirt on the side and said, "Over there The water cloud color crepe brocade pleated skirt, both of you can try it on.”
This style uses gauze to make pleats on the chest, stacked up layer by layer, like fungus lace, which perfectly covers the defects of the chest.
The faces of the two young ladies suddenly turned red. They had tried their best to cover up their flaws, but they didn't expect Sui'an people to see through them at a glance. They felt a little embarrassed for no reason.
"The body hair and skin are influenced by our parents. Some people have fair skin and some have dark skin. These are all natural. There is nothing to feel inferior to." Cheng Wanwan took off the clothes on the wall in a calm tone, "You are more suitable for water-yun color. You Well, let’s try this watery red color.”
The two ladies took the clothes and hurried to the fitting room to change.
Two full-length bronze mirrors were installed here. When they changed their clothes and came out, they were shocked when they looked at themselves in the mirror.
The ladies watching on the side were also amazing.
It's amazing how a piece of clothing can change a person's appearance and enhance a person's appearance.
In the past, they always asked the embroiderers to come to the house to measure and make clothes. The most important thing was the fabric and embroidery pattern. But now they know that whether a dress looks good or not depends not only on the fabric and embroidery work, but also on the style and cut. Important, it can be said that the most important are these two points.
A group of ladies each selected their favorite clothes in the shop, and within half an hour, eight pieces of ready-made clothes were sold.
These clothes are of the highest quality, both in terms of fabric and embroidery work. A piece of clothing costs three or four taels of silver. If you need to come to your door to take measurements and customize it exclusively, the price will double.
Sun Shuiqin stood at the side and was responsible for serving tea and snacks. She looked up and saw the young ladies taking out money without feeling any distress, and couldn't help but click her tongue.
The clothes in this shop are all made according to her vision. Each piece of clothes is only eight feet of cloth. The cost of the cloth is about eight or nine hundred cents. If you hire someone to cut, embroider and sew it, it will take about three days to complete one piece. The labor cost It was only about two hundred cents. A piece of clothing that cost one tael of silver was sold for three taels of silver. This was too profitable.
In just half an hour, the shop received nearly thirty taels of silver.
Not to mention Sun Shuiqin, even Kong Xiuniang, who had seen the world, was shocked. When these first batch of clothes were made, the technology was not very mature, because the cutting and sewing were different from the past, and one piece of clothing took at least three days. To make it, the time cost is actually very high. There are currently only three embroiderers. At this sales rate, demand will soon exceed supply.
After all the customers left, Kong Xiu Niang said with emotion: "I have been in this business for decades, and I always knew that I could make ready-made clothes for sale, but I didn't know that it could be done like this. The people of Sui'an really taught me, an old woman, a lesson." .”
Cheng Wanwan smiled and said: "Then why don't I teach you another lesson."
Cao Yingying immediately sat up straight, like a good student. Kong Xiu Niang also seemed to be listening attentively. Sun Shuiqin was collecting tea behind and pricked up her ears.
"I talked with Xia Hua. Such a piece of clothing requires an embroiderer at least three days. For someone who is not familiar with the pattern, it may take four or five days to make it. It's not because it's complicated, but because the process is too cumbersome. , the tailoring is different from the past, folds need to be sewn in some places, and the embroidery patterns must also complement each other... Generally speaking, the requirements for embroidery workers are very high." She said slowly, "What if the process is split, and one part One person is responsible for cutting, and some people are responsible for sewing key parts...as well as the neckline, chest, cuffs, and skirt, which are done by different people."
"After doing the same process for a long time, practice makes perfect, and the efficiency will naturally improve. The most important thing is that by separating the processes, you can control some technical steps in your own hands to avoid leakage of the design..."
Kong Xiu Niang's eyes suddenly opened wide as if she was enlightened: "Wonderful, really wonderful. Listening to Sui'an's words is better than ten years of reading."
"I'm just talking on paper." Cheng Wanwan took a sip of tea, "How to implement it in detail requires Kong Xiuniang and Yingying to think carefully and make a specific charter."
Cao Yingying nodded: "Mom, I think I have a plan in my mind. I will implement this in a few days."
While several people were talking, a figure walked in from the door of the shop.
Cheng Wanwan turned around and saw that it was Zhao Ergou who had come in. He couldn't help but ask: "Why are you back in the afternoon? There is no need to be busy at the restaurant?"
"Shopkeeper Zhou and Mrs. Zhou are very busy. Cheng Jia is also helping there, so I don't need it." Zhao Ergou sat down at the table, "I thought the garment shop would be too busy today, but why are there not a single customer?" ?”
Kong Xiu Niang chuckled and said: "Uncle, you are late, the guests have returned to the city long ago."
Zhao Ergou scratched his head: "Then I didn't help."
Cheng Wanwan laughed and said, "Since you're here, please help me clean up."
It's almost evening, and it's impossible for anyone to come to the village again. The house should be closed and swept, and it can be closed today.
Kong Xiu Niang tidied up the clothes. Cao Yingying was about to help, but Cheng Wanwan stopped her and asked her to sit and rest. It was better not to move around all the time in the early pregnancy. She took the place of Cao Yingying to tidy up the messy clothes and hung them up one by one. .
Zhao Ergou was cleaning up the tea room in the back, boiling tea on a small stove, which was specially used to entertain guests.
He put out the fire in the stove, put away the tea, and took it home to drink later. He also wrapped some leftover fruit snacks. The villagers would not waste these food...
He was busy when footsteps sounded behind him.
"Brother Ergou, you..."
As soon as Sun Shuiqin opened her mouth, Zhao Ergou turned around sharply.
He frowned, his face full of displeasure: "Why are you here?"
Sun Shuiqin's expression froze.
Why is she here? She has always been here. Could it be that he hasn't seen her since he came in after so long?
Does she have no sense of existence?
