"Your girl looks like she's destined for good fortune; something good is about to happen." Jiang Xue said, inviting the two of them to sit down.
She took out a book of patterns she had drawn beforehand from the sewing machine and handed it to the mother and daughter.
"You can take a look at the styles first. My styles are novel and fashionable. If you see a style you like, you can bring the fabric over and I can make it for you." Jiang Xue's attitude was extremely friendly.
He was incredibly patient, explaining the meaning behind his design to the mother and daughter one by one.
Generally, people make wedding attire for their weddings to symbolize good fortune and auspiciousness.
“Your daughter only gets married once in her life. Wedding attire isn’t about money; it’s more about the meaning.” Jiang Xue knew her shop’s weakness, so she tried her best to steer the conversation towards the styles, making the two people focus on the designs rather than the fabric.
"I've never seen this style before, it looks so fashionable!" The girl's eyes lit up.
This style has actually been popular in the city for a long time, but this is a small, isolated county town, and its fashion sense is a little behind in all aspects.
"You have a good eye; this is a style that only appears in big cities."
The girl's face immediately lit up with a smug look.
Jiang Xue seized the opportunity and quickly said, "You have a good eye. You're very accurate in judging things and people. How about I take your measurements?"
"But I..."
Before the girl could finish speaking, Jiang Xue, holding a measuring tape, exclaimed, "Wow, you have a really great figure." She understood the girl's doubts and hesitation.
But as a seasoned saleswoman, how could she let a deal that was already 60% complete slip away?
The girl's mouth practically stretched to her ears when Jiang Xue said that.
Jiang Xue smiled firmly at the girl's mother and said, "I think this figure comes from your aunt. Figure is a matter of genetics, and your aunt has good genes."
The two of them burst into laughter after hearing Jiang Xue's words, and as they chatted, they quickly let their guard down around her.
While chatting with the two, Jiang Xue took the opportunity to mention that they should pay a two-yuan deposit and then pay the other three yuan when they picked up the goods.
Since they had a good chat with Jiang Xue, the two decided not to do it.
After seeing the mother and daughter off, she realized that the city and the countryside were completely different. They didn't care about turning old clothes into new ones; they cared more about the style and the fabric.
A small order for five yuan took Jiang Xue a whole hour. She never forgot to summarize and analyze, and knew that the root cause was that she hadn't ordered any fabric.
Although the shop is small, there is still space on the wall to hang fabrics, but the initial investment will be at least fifty yuan.
Jiang Xue's head was spinning. Now that she had no capital, she could only rely on her service attitude and sales methods to keep customers.
Business must be done step by step; you can't get fat overnight.
Jiang Xue boosted her morale by writing on a wooden board: "Mainly specializing in custom-made clothing and altering old clothes into new ones," and hung the slogan at the entrance.
After all, the gap between rich and poor was roughly the same in the 1980s. She did take on a few clothes alteration orders, but overall, the income was not as much as Jiang Xue had imagined.
Just as Jiang Xue was frowning in worry, a man wearing gold-rimmed glasses barged in.
"You can customize here, right?" His jet-black hair was styled exceptionally neatly.
Jiang Xue quickly got up to greet them.
The man glanced around and instinctively felt that what he wanted couldn't be made here.
"Excuse me, I've disturbed you." He greeted Jiang Xue politely and prepared to leave.
"You haven't even said what you need, yet you know I can't make it?" Jiang Xue, a seasoned veteran in the workplace, could easily see why the man had left in such a hurry.
