Yang Zijin nodded and smiled as a return gift.
"My surname is Qian. I am the shopkeeper of that cloth shop. What do you call me?" Shopkeeper Qian introduced him.
Ah Xian on the side replied, "His young master's surname is Yang."
"Oh! It turns out Mr. Yang, Mr. Yang is really discerning. The cloths he asked for are all made of good silk and satin, good cotton, and porcelain. The price will definitely be higher." Shopkeeper Qian said, looking at Yang Zijin.
Mr. Yang, who was in front of him, replied calmly, "It's okay. Shopkeeper Qian will just calculate the price."
"Young Master Yang is really happy, so I won't go round and round. Three pieces of silk and satin are worth sixty taels, two pieces of gauze are worth eighty taels, five pieces of cotton are worth five taels, and Ye Yi is worth seventy-three taels of silver. "Shopkeeper Qian told Yang Zijin.
"Shopkeeper Qian needs to make up his mind. If he needs cloth again in the future, he won't choose another shop." Yang Zijin frowned slightly and said to shopkeeper Qian.
Hearing what Yang Zijing said, shopkeeper Qian also looked generous, "I will make my friend tomorrow. In that case, it will be calculated as seventy taels."
Those who have never done business in Qiufu will definitely feel embarrassed when they hear shopkeeper Qian's words, no matter how high the price is, but Yang Zijin doesn't take that trick.
"Sixty-five taels." Yang Zijing said without even thinking.
Shopkeeper Qian looked troubled, "Mr. Yang must also know that the price of good silk and satin is already high. No matter how young I am, I can't afford it."
"Axian, let's go check out another house." He stood up and started to leave.
Seeing this, shopkeeper Qian stepped forward to stop him and said, "Let me think about something for a moment."
I saw shopkeeper Qian weighing it for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, it's the price you said. If you have any needs in the future, Master Yang, please remember to come and support Jinxiu Village's business."
"Isn't that natural?" Yang Zijing said as he motioned for Ah Xian to take the money.
The shopkeeper Qian took the banknote, counted a few things, and said with a smile on his face, "I have sent people to the warehouse to get the cloth. Mr. Yang, can you tell me where I live? He will ask the clerk to send it to me in a carriage later." .”
Yang Zijin nodded.
Ah Xian on the side said, "Just send someone to Peach Blossom Sanli."
"It turns out that Mr. Yang is from Taohua Sanli! I have admired his name for a long time. I heard that Taohua Sanli has a very different style. I have long wanted to see it, but I got stuck by business." As he spoke, he looked disappointed.
Yang Zijin greeted him and said, "If Shopkeeper Qian goes there in the future, please remember to look for him and treat Shopkeeper Qian well."
"Since Mr. Yang said that, I will definitely go and take a look when I have some free time." Shopkeeper Qian responded.
After chatting for a while, the two of them left Jinxiuzhuang. Yang Zijing asked Ah Xian to go to the cotton shop to buy twenty kilograms of cotton first, and then call the tailors he found last month. Then he went back to Shuohou Mansion to pick up a bra. Design drawing with party wear.
Three Miles of Peach Blossom.
Yang Zijin asked people to clear out two large rooms with good lighting, and placed several large tables in the middle, one for storing fabrics and one for finished products, temporarily showing the appearance of a mule.
At this time, Ah Xian had already brought the tailors. There were six of them, Ye Yi. The leading tailor was called Sister Liu.
"Then his young master's surname is Yang." Ah Xian wanted to introduce it to the tailors.
All the tailors said one after another, "Hello, Mr. Yang."
"Don't be cautious, we just make things. Then let's take a look at the drawings of the things to be made." He said and put the bra drawings on the table.
The tailors gathered around and looked at what the drawing was designing, and shook their heads.
Seeing that the tailors were silent, Yang Zijin walked up to Sister Liu and asked, "What do you think, Sister Liu?"
"Sir, to be honest, they have never seen those things, let alone made them. If they were made realistically, I'm afraid a lot of fabric would be wasted." Sister Liu replied.
"Then give it a try first. You'll be unfamiliar with it no matter how much you do at first, and waste is inevitable."
"Since Qun Yuanzi said that, then they can try it first and they will do their best, but he can't guarantee the finished product."
Seeing Yang Zijin nodding, Sister Liu breathed a sigh of relief. She asked to put the ugly words first. After all, if they had never seen something before, they would have no confidence in making it. If the original one did not match the drawing, they would not be able to do it. It's no secret that tailors rely on their legs to earn a living. If it is rumored that their skills are not good, no one will go to them to cut clothes in the future.
After Yang Zijing left, the tailors started to cut them according to the sizes shown above. If they didn't want to do it or there were deviations, they started over again. They went until dinner time, and two bras came out. Yang Zijing felt that they were very similar to modern bras. The bras were almost the same, so I called the sisters from Taohua Sanli to try them on. Sure enough, all the girls felt that the bras were very effective on the body and they did not feel uncomfortable.
Yang Zijin concealed his excitement and called Wu'an Liufu to prepare some good dishes. He asked Sister Liu and the others to be well entertained tomorrow night.
The next day, Yang Zijin asked Sister Liu to assign the task of making bras to other tailors, and gave Sister Liu the drawings of Western European dresses. Sister Liu couldn't help but wonder where Mr. Yang found those drawings. None of which she had ever seen.
Seeing Sister Liu staring blankly at the drawing, Yang Zijin said, "Sister Liu, can you give it a try?"
Sister Liu thought for a while and nodded.
Seeing Sister Liu nodding, Yang Zijing looked at Axian behind him and said, "Go and get a piece of silk and gauze."
When Sister Liu heard whether it was silk or satin, she went over and said, "Mr. Yang, he doesn't dare to mess around with good silk and satin. Not to mention that he has never seen the things that the young master gave him. Even if he has seen it, he can make clothes like silk and satin." He asked to be very cautious, and the young boy didn’t dare to take the job.”
"Sister Liu, you can give it a try. Don't worry about that. Since he asked us to come back to do it, he has thought of those issues." Seeing Sister Liu's reaction, Yang Zijin went to give her some reassurance.
"In that case, let him give it a try. Sister Qing, I will come over and spank his legs." Sister Liu finally nodded in agreement.
Three days later, the first Western European dress appeared! What Sister Liu made was no different from the drawings.
Yang Zijin quickly found a girl and pulled Wen Lan, who had a similar figure to the dress, outside to try it on. At this time, the girls were staring at the door, and even Yang Zijin couldn't wait to see the effect of the dress on her body.
At that time, Sister Liu's voice came from outside the house, "Get dressed."
Everyone took a breath and watched the door slowly opened by Sister Liu. At this time, Wen Lan walked out gently from inside. Wen Lan in the dress seemed to have been replaced by a different person, showing nobility.
Everyone was amazed!
Looking carefully at Wen Lan's dress, we can see that the dress is sewn with silk and satin and fits tightly to her body, holding up her chest and narrowing her waist. The back naturally hangs along the spine to her hips, and the hem is made of silk. , use light gauze to connect and expand it, and the skirt is puffed up to draw a graceful curve.
Wen Lan, who was originally in good shape, now looks even more charming.
Everyone was stunned...
This is exactly what Yang Zijing wanted to see.
"Okay, Sister Liu, I will be responsible for teaching people to sew dresses from now on, and the wages will not be unfair to me." Yang Zijin said.
When they heard Yang Zijin's words, everyone came back to their senses.
Originally, Sister Liu thought Yang Zijin's design was very strange and did not conform to people's aesthetics at all. She wanted to make it anyway and get some free money.
But when Wen Lan wore the clothes, she felt that she had been too conventional during those years as a tailor and had not thought about innovation. Now that she had the opportunity to innovate, how could she let it go.
Sister Liu nodded and said, "He will definitely teach them everything he knows."
"Okay, Ma Zai will give me some new dress drawings. For the time being, I will focus on making bras. Please make sure the sizes are large or small, and the style remains the same." Seeing Sister Liu's agreement, Yang Zijin ordered again.
Now that the samples of bras and dresses are ready, Chengdong has a question about publicity. The dresses are very good and can be worn by girls from Peach Blossoms Three Miles. Naturally, good things will happen. But what about bras? In those feudal ancient times, were under-clothing items allowed? How to let many women know about obscure things? That is not a problem.
Yang Zijin had a headache again. After thinking for a long time, she decided to use the method of opening in Taohua Sanli to arouse people's curiosity first and ask for people to come and watch the store during the opening month. Then she would have a way to capture the hearts of those women. After all, there was no way. What woman is not ruthlessly beautiful.
In those days, Yang Zijin was designing dresses, taking both type and age into consideration. She wanted to make long-term plans and make friends with official wives and young ladies through business, which would not hurt.
The rectification of the store was handed over to A-yin. A-yin handled the matter thoughtfully, which reassured her.
Other seamstresses are busy making bras, while Sister Liu is making dresses by herself according to the drawings. Now she is getting more and more skilled and can complete one set in about a day.
Seeing that everything was going smoothly, Yang Zijin decided to open the business on the eighth day of that month.
After the confinement in Dingdong, Yang Zijing asked Ah Xian to find someone to create the name of the shop she had already thought of, "Women's Flower".
At the same time, the girls from Taohua Sanli were asked to wear formal dresses and walk in the busy city. Everyone was amazed, and many women came forward to ask questions when they saw them.
The girls all smiled and replied, "You can buy women's flowers at the upcoming opening. There are many styles!"
"When will it open?" Another woman asked.
Wen Lan replied, "On the eighth day of that month, a new shop will be opened. The name of the shop is Women's Flowers. It is a shop specially opened for women. There are many unexpected things in it! I heard that there are many people present. There will be small gifts given.”
"What are you giving away?" The person who asked looked like he wanted to know.
At this time, Wen Lan smiled and murmured, "When the time comes, the girl will know if she goes to see something."
Of course, these are not what Yang Zijin said.
…
On the day of the opening, Yang Zijin had a stage set up at the door. There were women standing around the stage, and there were also a few men standing aside to join in the fun.
Everyone is guessing what Fu Qiu is doing to set up a stage...
The auspicious moment has arrived, Yang Zijin cleared his throat and said loudly, "Everyone, be quiet first."
Everyone stopped talking when they heard the sound and looked at Yang Zijing.
With the sound of firecrackers, Ah Xian pulled the red cloth on the plaque, and the words "Woman Flower" came into everyone's eyes.
As soon as the sound of firecrackers stopped, Yang Zijin continued, "Ming Yue Fou's shop is open, and all the women present will be given small gifts. Jie Dong will invite everyone to watch the fashion show first."
After hearing this, everyone exploded again...
