The market opens at five or six o'clock every day, and customers will arrive soon after.
After officially setting up the stall.
Apart from Qin Yun paying the stall fee to sew a few patches, the rest of the customers, in addition to the stall owners who often set up stalls here, are the person in charge of the market and his subordinates.
The patterns on the patches she mended were nice and not eye-catching.
If it doesn't require a pattern, she can sew the patch neatly, and you can't tell where the patch is unless you look carefully.
In addition, she is extremely accurate in using thread and will not waste any thread.
In the end, it was more suitable for these people to go home and buy fabric and cotton thread to mend their clothes.
So within two or three days, these people brought all kinds of old clothes at home and asked Qin Yun to patch them.
Among them, there was a piece of clothing brought by a stall owner.
The fabric has aged extensively and has been patched a lot, but the new holes and gaps on the sides cannot be blocked. It's hard to wear out even when working in the fields.
The stall owner wanted to ask Qin Yun if there was any way to patch this dress, but he didn't expect her to agree to patch it up.
Qin Yun said that the clothes can be repaired, but the price is relatively expensive, costing two yuan and ninety cents.
The stall owner did not agree at the time and said he wanted to go back and discuss it with his wife.
Early the next morning, the stall owner came over with money and was still waiting for Qin Yun to finish the work at hand.
When she saw the other party, the stall owner waited in front of her stall and refused to leave, saying that she wanted to watch Qin Yun mend the rotten dress with her own eyes.
When mending clothes, because the colors of the old and new fabrics were not exactly the same, she processed the transitional areas to make the clothes look like they were originally made that way.
When others take a quick look, they look like 70% to 80% new clothes.
The stall owner put on the refurbished clothes and tried them on on the spot.
When setting up the stall the next day, the other party even wore this dress directly.
The owner of the stall next to him was surprised when he saw it.
He also asked him what a good day it was today and why he came here wearing such nice clothes to set up a stall? I'm not afraid of getting scratched or anything.
The stall owner said proudly: "Isn't this the same gray dress I used to wear when setting up a stall?"
The stall owner next to him didn't believe him at all after hearing this.
In the end, the stall owner explained it himself, saying that Qin Yun's stall had been patched up with several feet of cloth. He also deliberately took off his clothes and let the stall owner next to him take a look.
A few days later.
Qin Yun's reputation for refurbishing old clothes spread.
The business at her stall has become even better.
These days, everyone has a few pieces of clothing that are too worn out to wear and are reluctant to throw away.
Especially the people who often set up stalls here. They had saved up money to buy new clothes. I heard that Qin Yun could refurbish old clothes that could no longer be worn, so naturally he wanted to come and take a look.
After seeing her craftsmanship, these people naturally brought old clothes over and asked her to renovate them.
This morning.
As the time for stall closing approached, someone started shouting at the market.
"The market is closing! The market is closing! Those who are buying things should check out quickly! Those who are not buying things should be leaving quickly..."
Hearing this, the customers in the market left one after another.
The stall owners of various stalls also began to prepare to close their stalls.
Qin Yun quickly packed up his things, picked up his backpack, and walked towards a dirt road in the mountains.
"Master Clothesmaker...wait a moment! Master Clothesmaker, wait for me!"
Qin Yun turned around and looked back, and saw a young man also carrying a bamboo basket, trotting towards him.
"Brother Xu." She greeted the visitor with a smile.
The young man's pseudonym was "Xu Cheng", but his real name was "Xu Weifeng".
Xu Weifeng is the person in charge of the underground market here.
As far as Qin Yun knew, in addition to the current underground market, the other party seemed to have united with several friends to control several other markets.
Xu Weifeng did not say these things himself.
But after the original owner later became a rich woman, she and Xu Weifeng, who was equally successful and famous at that time, became close friends.
During one chat, the other party told her everything about how he started his business.
"Master Clothesmaker, I have something to do with you. I want to sew something."
The stall owners who have been setting up stalls in the market here for a long time all have corresponding titles or code names, and they will not be called by their real names.
"Master Clothesmaker" is Qin Yun's code name.
"Well, let's hear what Brother Xu has to say."
“Can you sew big pockets that can be hidden under clothes without being seen?
"I don't want to hide anything else. I just want to hide a piece of clothing inside, and a few notebooks, bills, and other things that are not too thick."
Qin Yun thought for a moment and then asked: "Brother Xu, do you want to put a change of clothes in your pocket, or do you just want to change clothes temporarily to cover yourself up?"
The expression on Xu Weifeng's face was solemn, and then he smiled innocently.
"Actually, it's the latter. I didn't expect that my sister would see through it so quickly."
Now that the two of them have walked a long way and are far away from the underground market, Xu Weifeng no longer calls Qin Yun by his code name.
Qin Yun smiled and then put forward his opinion.
"My suggestion is that you'd better not make those big pockets. No matter how thin the clothes are, it will be very conspicuous if they are stuffed into another piece of clothing.
"Besides, if you are folding clothes temporarily, you definitely can't fold them and put them away so quickly. How about making a reversible piece of clothing and leaving a few small pockets for you to put things in?"
Xu Weifeng's eyes lit up, "What do those clothes look like?"
Next, Qin Yun gave him a brief explanation.
"Then, just do what you said, sister. I need to make five pieces of this kind of clothes. As for the money, I didn't bring enough today. When you come to the market tomorrow, I will give you half of the deposit first, and then I will give you half of the deposit. Here are some clothes sizes for you.”
Next, the two discussed the specific details.
Qin Yun needs to know where Xu Weifeng went.
She didn't say the specific location, but she at least needed to know whether the other party was going to a big city or an alley in a town or county, so that she could determine what kind of clothes to prepare for the other party.
Xu Weifeng hesitated, and finally told her the truth.
He is going to a big city in the south, which is much more prosperous than small places like them, so the clothes must fit well and cannot be too big, nor can people feel uncomfortable wearing them, otherwise they will show their timidity.
"Brother Xu, do you need hats, pants or anything?
“It’s best to wear trousers that are common on the street. If anyone needs a hat, we can also make him a hat with different styles on the front and back.
"If you need shoes, I can also make them. I just need you to prepare accessories such as soles. Also, I need to borrow some professional tools for me. The shoe repair master should be able to borrow them... …”
