The Second Master of the Red Chamber

Jia Lian did not participate too much in Zhang's opening of a ready-made clothing store. First of all, he was not a woman before time travelling, so he didn't really know much about matching. Did you take off the whole set of clothes?I don't know where to add a flower, and where to get a waist will be more beautiful, so I can only keep silent.

However, he also has some advantages of his own. For example, he told Zhang about the value of advertising and the meaning of trademarks.As soon as Mr. Zhang heard the previous item, he said, "Well, of course we can't forget it." On the contrary, he didn't know how to react. Who can tell him when advertising began to flourish!Why does his mother seem to know this very well?

As for the second item, Mrs. Zhang also nodded while listening, "It's true, all the built-in things have imprints, but we can think about what kind of imprint we use."

Jia Lian has a feeling of being defeated by an ancient woman. Why on earth is she so smart? Where does this allow him, a time traveler, to find an advantage?

Especially when he mentioned the so-called high-end custom-made clothes, Zhang frowned slightly, "What Lian'er means is that you want to customize clothes for wealthy families?"

Jia Lian nodded, this is a very normal thing. In modern times, the most high-end clothing is private customization. Seeing Zhang's distress, he felt strange, but he was quickly defeated, "But, a little In some better families, such as ours, the masters don’t wear clothes made by outsiders, they are all made by the maids raised at home.”

Jia Lian felt that his heart was beginning to cry, he actually ignored such a problem, mothers and maids in the sewing room, I really didn't forget you on purpose, I was just careless.

Perhaps because his expression was too disappointed, Mrs. Zhang said again, "Although needlework is not allowed to be done by outsiders, if someone has a fashionable look, they will learn to make it. Lian'er thought It’s not bad, we can have a few tailors and embroiderers specialize in researching new styles and making patterns, which is not a bad idea.”

She was very happy with what she said, but Jia Lian felt even more frustrated. Why did his mother have such a high IQ and would draw inferences from one example? It was too stressful!

The name of the store was also chosen by Mrs. Zhang. "Xiuluo Clothes" was taken from Du Fu's "Walk with Beauty". It is a bit elegant, but easy to understand.

Jia Lian said that it is possible to build a rest room for the men who came with him to rest, so Mrs. Zhang built a larger women's rest room by the way, to serve the wives and ladies of the big family, so that they don't have to see outsiders. , You can choose the fabric and style of your favorite clothes with peace of mind.

As for the decoration, Jia Lian did not dare to participate in opinions casually. He was very worried that what he said was wrong for a while and would be embarrassing. What's more, every period has its own fixed aesthetics. It must be stronger than the local ones here.So much so that he only gave Zhang a suggestion, which is the dummy model, which is not difficult to make, and is all human limbs carved out of wood. The craftsmanship of the carpenter is very reliable in many cases, and the mannequin Fully qualified.

As for the issue of the uniformed attire of the staff, that was also thought of by Zhang herself. She even thought, "This kind of exhibition is more vivid than putting a dummy there! And it looks neat, but if they are too often It would also be a big expense to change clothes.”

In addition to Mrs. Jiang supporting her daughter, Mrs. Zhang's eldest sister-in-law Huang and second sister-in-law Liu all took the silver. At first, it was just to save face for her sister-in-law and to please her mother-in-law by the way. Don't want money.

"I count all my sister-in-laws as members, but I don't want your money." Mrs. Zhang said this, but it made the two of them confused.

Mrs. Liu has a lively temper, so she immediately asked, "Then let's talk, sister-in-law, what can we do next?"

"It's not difficult," Mrs. Zhang liked her straight-forward manner, and immediately explained, "Only my shop has opened, but after all, it is not a time-honored brand for many years. Although I think everything is excellent, most people don't." You know, what I want is to give the two sisters-in-law some clothes. If you look good, you can wear them when you meet people. If someone asks, you can talk about it. Like this, I will give them to you. Each sister-in-law is [-]%."

"It's too polite here, isn't it?" Mrs. Huang said first, "Since you gave us the clothes, it doesn't matter if we talk about them with others. We can't just ask for money like this. Even if we intervene and make money with you."

Mrs. Zhang still wanted to shirk, so Mrs. Liu said, "That's the reason. Besides, since my aunt gave us the clothes, we have already made a cheap profit. How can we ask for more? It's just a few words." thing."

Mrs. Zhang thought for a while, and felt that it would be best for her brothers to settle accounts clearly, so she asked Biwen to accept the money, "Since this is the case, the two sister-in-laws will send a supervisor to the shop..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Liu laughed, "Since my aunt has started to do business, she has started to count so clearly? We don't know what kind of person you are, these money are just a joke, you Giving [-]% is quite a lot, so why should we send people there, haven't you already let Shi Yan and his wife manage the affairs of this shop?"

Huang also meant it in general, "If sister-in-law is still so polite, I won't obey."

Mrs. Zhang had no choice but to nod her head in response, but she made up her mind in her heart that she had to report the accounts to Zhang's residence every month. "There is something else, I'm afraid I have to trouble the two sister-in-laws." This is also what Zhang feels most embarrassed about. "You also know that there are a lot of bad things in my house. If you set up a shop like this, Although it was my idea, there must be those shallow-sighted people who want to pounce on them when they see the benefits. The two sister-in-laws said outside that this is the two of you earning some makeup money together, so they only rented my shop and borrowed it by the way. It’s just running errands, okay?”

After hearing this, Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Liu smiled, and agreed, "I can do it, why can't I do it!"

After the three of them finished talking, Mrs. Zhang asked Bixian to take the clothes for her sister-in-law with Qingzhi and Qingrong, "This is the size I asked my mother for before, and I don't know if it fits. If there is anything wrong, you can tell someone, and I will send that girl Bihong to take the tailor and embroiderer to correct it."

Mrs. Liu was impatient, and as soon as Mrs. Huang said some polite words to Mrs. Zhang, she asked the servant girl to bring out a dress, "The embroidery is a little different from what we usually wear!" She said after only one glance.

Mrs. Zhang nodded, "This is what Jiangnan looks like these days. I asked the embroiderers to change it a little to make it more dexterous and delicate."

Mrs. Huang saw it and said, "It really looks vivid. Such a large piece of embroidered flowers has a different flavor, and the color of the silk thread is also different!"

"It seems that my aunt really has her heart. The clothes look like people like them. I'm afraid that as long as I wear them out, someone will ask me without opening my mouth!" Liu's words are very sweet, " I'm afraid I'll have to come here to my sister-in-law to beg for clothes in the future!"

"If sister-in-law likes it, it's fine to let Bihong go to the house, and I won't lose money." Mrs. Zhang also replied with a smile.The sisters-in-law chatted for a while, and when it was getting late, Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Liu left.

When Xiuluo Clothes opened, Mrs. Zhang couldn't be there. Jia Lian really wanted to go, but was persuaded, "Brother has to study during the day, if I go out, today's schoolwork will be missed, right?" Zhao When Mammy said this, even if he was looking forward to it, he could only stay at home and study obediently. The only good thing was that Bihong would come in to answer, so he could follow along and listen.

The shop is mainly divided into two parts. Most of the materials displayed on the outside are of mid-range level. Only the styles and patterns of the clothes are different from those sold outside. Most of them are sold to businessmen and the wives of rich gentry.And in the rest room inside, there are naturally good things. There are special embroiderers and tailors who take the styles and patterns of clothes for customers to choose. If picky customers can also give semi-finished products directly, or just give them a pattern. , Let their own sewing room do it.

The mid-range ready-to-wear outside is mainly for volume. As for the inside, Zhang didn’t think there would be much profit at first. After all, it’s customary for each family to like to wear clothes from their own sewing room, but the result turned out to be better than she expected, " It seems that the two sisters-in-law are really helping with their heart." Zhang smiled and told Bihong, "You remember, send the bill to Zhang's house at the end of the month, and send it every month in the future."

Bi Hong replied, "I understand."

"It seems that you and Shi Yan have done a very good job," Zhang said with a slight smile, "You have been my girl since you were a child, so naturally I will not lose you, only one, you are only for me If you have something to do, tell me, if you do something without telling me, it will not work."

Bi Hong and Shi Yan also have small thoughts, but they see it more clearly. She has understood since she was a child the truth that if the skin is not attached, the hair will survive, "I remember, the life of the slave is in the hands of grandma. If our family is unfaithful and doesn’t ask grandma to protect us, there will be no end to it.”
