"Yes, yes, it's all just theory. Our Xiaotian is much more knowledgeable." Liu Aiyue looked at the plump Xie Xiaotian and liked her more and more, especially that big butt. She looked like she could give birth to a son.
Jiang Xue ignored their ridicule, thinking that one couldn't succeed in business without a broad perspective.
She calmly said, "Then you choose one, and I'll do it this way."
Xie Xiaotian was just waiting for Jiang Xue to make a complete fool of herself. She casually pointed to a picture with disdain and said, "This is it."
Just in case, Jiang Xue added, "Write down 'This is a custom order,' and sign your name at the bottom."
Xie Xiaotian stared intently at Jiang Xue with a mixture of jealousy and disgust.
"Don't just look at me, I'm very busy, time can't be wasted."
Seeing that Jiang Xue was doing this on purpose, and considering how things had developed, Xie Xiaotian realized that she would lose face if she didn't sign the document.
She simply bent down, picked up her pen, and wrote in the blank space as Jiang Xue had instructed. When she stood up, her eyes still held a hint of disdain.
She didn't believe Jiang Xue could make such a beautiful dress as depicted in the painting, and was waiting to compensate her for the smock.
Liu Aiyue continued to praise Xie Xiaotian, saying, "Our Xiaotian is so educated, she can read and write, unlike us who are all illiterate."
Jiang Xue lowered her head and took off her smock. She thought to herself, "There has to be a limit to commercial hype." She pursed her lips and suppressed a laugh.
Do you really think she can pull it off?
"How could that be? Only Master Leng knows how to use that thing."
"You don't know her, she just loves to do these embarrassing things."
"Yeah, it's shameless of her to give the good crops to her family to grow and then come here to do all this new stuff."
...
More and more villagers gathered around to watch the spectacle, chattering amongst themselves as they surrounded Jiang Xue.
While busy with her work, Jiang Xue asked Aunt Wang, "Keep an eye on the two kids for me, okay? I'll alter something for you for free later."
As for whether it was free or not, Aunt Wang didn't take it seriously, but she figured it was acceptable for neighbors in the village to look after the children.
After about an hour of work, the villagers were still crowding around, waiting expectantly.
"Try it on." Jiang Xue stood up and neatly handed the clothes to Xie Xiaotian, while patting off the loose threads on her clothes.
Xie Xiaotian stood frozen in place, staring at a very novel blue dress that had a great figure and a stylish design.
Seeing that Jiang Xue was indeed skilled, Aunt Wang couldn't wait to urge Xie Xiaotian on.
"Go and try it, go quickly."
"Try it on and see if you can wear it."
Everyone was even more eager to see Jiang Xue's skills, but they still put the clothes on and they were effective.
Xie Xiaotian couldn't resist everyone's urging and had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to Liu Aiyue's room to change.
Jiang Xue did not stop what she was doing to wait, but continued to take apart the original owner's old clothes and make them for the two children.
Although Jiang Xue had washed the two children clean, their clothes were covered in patches and were in a terrible state.
"Wow, the celebrities from TV are here! Look, look!" Aunt Wang's exclamation made Jiang Xue look up.
Xie Xiaotian had fair skin and wore a fitted blue dress with her belt tied into a large bow.
In order to speed things up, Jiang Xue noticed that Xie Xiaotian had a round face, so she made a V-neck dress for her.
The clothes look elegant and simple overall, and they really make Xie Xiaotian look beautiful.
Seeing this, Aunt Wang hurriedly darted out of the crowd and stood opposite Jiang Xue's sewing machine, "You just said you'd alter it for me for free, is that true?"
Jiang Xue nodded with a slight smile.
Aunt Wang quickly pulled up the heel of her shoe and rushed home in a hurry.
Xie Xiaotian stood there, feeling very conflicted. She never expected that Jiang Xue had such a skill.
She wanted to find fault with the dress, but with everyone's admiring and envious gazes, she couldn't find anything wrong with it.
Liu Aiyue walked up to Jiang Xue, puzzled, and asked, "When did you learn this skill?"
Jiang Xue sneered, "Being skillful doesn't mean you don't need to learn some things. I was just lazy before, not that I didn't know how."
Liu Aiyue stared at Jiang Xue in disbelief. If her family had a skilled seamstress as a wife, wouldn't all the neighbors be green with envy?
Wang, panting heavily, pushed Liu Aiyue away and stuffed three pieces of clothing into Jiang Xue's arms.
"Make...make...make two sets for my grandson, one set is free as you said, and I'll pay for the other one." Aunt Wang gasped for breath, leaning over the sewing machine.
Jiang Xue was stunned. "Didn't we agree on one piece? How come you made a set?" Her words were teasing, as if she were joking.
"I don't care. What you just said means you can't go back on your word on the first day of doing business, right?" Aunt Wang thought it was foolish not to take advantage of a good deal.
Jiang Xue shook her head. "If I finish making these two outfits for you in the morning, I'll only earn 2 yuan, which isn't worth it. You can choose either a top or a pair of pants."
Aunt Wang was immediately displeased. Her face changed drastically, and she put her hands on her hips and shouted, "You told me you'd make one for free? Isn't one set the same thing?"
Jiang Xue didn't want to offend customers on the first day, but she couldn't let them develop the habit of haggling on the first day either.
Once you start talking, there will be endless arguments.
She laughed and said, "Aunt Wang is so funny. She is indeed a blessed person."
Aunt Wang was stunned when she heard this, and stepped forward in confusion to ask, "What makes you think I'm lucky?"
“Look at you, your son is so filial that you usually don’t have to do any work in the fields. Look at your hands, they’re so white and healthy. And your eldest grandson, so robust and healthy, I can tell he’ll definitely be a college student at a prestigious university in the future.”
Jiang Xue is very familiar with sales tactics, so there's no need to keep arguing with her about the price right now. Instead, we should try to distract her.
By engaging in casual conversation, you can build rapport with your customers.
"Oh, you're just teasing me." Aunt Wang had never heard such praise before, and she was overjoyed.
Liu Aiyue, who was standing to the side, had a gloomy face because Jiang Xue had hit all her sore spots. She angrily picked up her hoe and left.
"Aunt Wang has always been all bark and no bite. How about this, you have a piece of clothing made of cotton, I'll make you two handkerchiefs, no charge, okay?" Jiang Xue's face was full of smiles.
Seeing so many people watching, Aunt Wang proudly raised her voice and said, "Alright, alright, you better do a good job. My grandson is going to the city to see his uncle in a couple of days."
"Okay, okay." Jiang Xue immediately picked up her pen and started sketching.
The villagers were surprised to see that Jiang Xue not only didn't need to buy cloth separately, but also that the price was so cheap.
If you include Master Leng's wages and have to buy the fabric yourself, it will take a long time and at least ten yuan to get a decent piece of clothing.
Children's clothes will be faster to find, but it will cost five yuan no matter where you look. Here, it only costs two or three yuan, and you don't even have to buy the fabric.
Some villagers approached Jiang Xue and asked, "Is this really the price?"
