The day of Dream Clothing's opening has finally arrived.
Today, for the opening of Mengyifang, Namo Si specially wore the red dress she wore at the last palace banquet again, because this dress can increase one charm value.
Nan Wusi arrived at her small shop. After checking all the preparations and everything was ready, she called to Ye Zi, "Ye Zi, you can open the shop door now."
The moment the doors of Dream Clothing Shop opened, the long-lost system announcement echoed in my mind: "Ding, main quest completed - open a clothing store, reward 1,000 beauty points, men's clothing unlocked in the store shop, obtained level 1 Fiery Red Lips. Main quest started - open a second clothing store."
The reward was pretty good, Nan Wusi smiled, and casually upgraded her Fiery Red Lips to level 5. She looked at herself in the bronze mirror and found that her lips, which used to be prone to dryness and cracking and had a light color, were now much more moisturized, and the color had also deepened. Even the shape of her lips had become more beautiful.
"Miss, what do we need to do after the shop opens?" Ye Zi interrupted Nan Wusi's self-admiration.
"Just wait and see." Nan Wusi said nonchalantly, continuing to admire her own beauty.
"Oh." After hearing this, Ye Zi walked to the shop entrance and looked around. She noticed that although some people were curiously looking inside, no one came in.
However, Ye Zi also felt it was quite normal, because the shop her young lady ran was really strange. Apart from two mannequins dressed in clothes placed in the very center of the room—she only knew this from her young lady—there was nothing else. Anyone outside could see it clearly.
Meanwhile, Tiger and his companions, who had received their mission yesterday, scattered across the streets. Whenever they saw a well-dressed lady or young woman, they would approach her, bow politely, and say, "Beautiful lady/madam, Dream Clothes Shop is opening today. We look forward to your visit; we're sure you'll find your dream dress here. The shop is located at..."
Some ladies and young women were completely uninterested in these little brats in front of them, and some even had their servants chase them away, but others were genuinely intrigued and decided to go over and take a look.
Meanwhile, a group of noble ladies and young women who knew about this matter at the birthday banquet were also heading towards Mengyifang.
At this moment, Mengyifang also welcomed its first customer, a kind-looking noble lady who was clearly a person of excellent temperament and upbringing.
"Young lady, is this a ready-made clothing store?" This lady was recruited by Tiger and his group. She had heard that she could find the clothes she wanted at Dream Clothes Shop, so she came to take a look. However, she was surprised to find that there were only two ready-made clothes in such a large store, so she couldn't help but be a little suspicious.
“Yes, beautiful lady. We only have these two sets of ready-made clothing in stock right now,” Nan Wusi replied with utmost politeness.
"But you said you could find the clothes you wanted in the store. Is this a lie?" The lady frowned. She wanted to see why the store was so audacious as to deceive its customers.
"While this may sound exaggerated, it is by no means a lie. I hope you can wait a moment, Madam, as I will explain in detail later." Nan Wusi had naturally anticipated that someone would question it, but now was not the time to reveal the truth. "Please sit down, Madam. You will understand in a short while."
"Then I'll have to take a good look." The lady actually sat down.
After a while, people began to arrive at Nan Wusi's Dream Clothing Shop from all directions. Among them were people recruited by Hu Zi and his group, people who already knew about Jiang Zhirou from her birthday banquet, passersby attracted by the crowd, and of course, people who didn't want to wait and left.
Seeing that the number of people was almost there, Nan Wusi didn't plan to wait any longer, otherwise people might lose patience and leave. So she began her performance.
"Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon. I am the owner of Mengyi Shop. My surname is Nan. Today is the first day of business for our shop. Please forgive me if there is any inadequacy in our hospitality."
"Our store currently only sells these two ready-to-wear items on the mannequins, and we will be adding two new ready-to-wear items every month from now on."
"With only these two types of ready-to-wear clothing, what's the point of opening a clothing store? You might as well close it down as soon as possible." One of the ladies, who was already impatient, interrupted Nan Wusi after hearing her say this.
"What this lady says makes sense. Our store does indeed have very few ready-to-wear garments, only two styles, and we only sell two styles each month. But the quality of ready-to-wear garments is more important than the quantity. Our store guarantees that every piece of ready-to-wear sold is unique and one of a kind. I'm sure you are all distinguished people, and it would be embarrassing to run into someone wearing the same thing. So as long as you buy any ready-to-wear garment from our store, you will never have to worry about that again."
After hearing this, the ladies and young women began to whisper among themselves. The issue Nan Wusi raised was indeed a major concern for them. To avoid wearing the same clothes as someone else, they rarely visited ready-made clothing stores. However, their family's embroiderers could only produce a few garments a year, and the styles were mostly similar, which truly troubled them. But even buying ready-made clothes outside, like at the largest clothing store in the capital, could lead to the embarrassing situation of wearing the same style as someone else.
Nan Wusi pressed on while the iron was hot: "In addition, our store also accepts one-on-one customization services. We only serve one customer per week. As long as the customer tells us what style they want, we will provide two styles for the customer to choose from within a week. If the customer is not satisfied with either one, our store can provide a full refund."
“That’s quite interesting,” the ladies nearby remarked.
"If we only accept one guest this week, does that mean we all have to wait in line?" some people questioned.
"I am truly sorry, all the clothes are made by me. My abilities are limited, and serving one guest a week is my limit," Nan Wusi replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
“What this young lady says makes sense. It’s already the limit for an embroiderer to be able to embroider a garment in a week, and that would require exceptional skill.” The lady who arrived first spoke up fairly.
"Since the shopkeeper has said so much, how will the price be calculated?" someone suddenly asked, immediately drawing everyone's attention. This was indeed a question that everyone was concerned about. Although most of those present were from well-off families, maintaining such a large mansion required considerable expenses, and it would naturally be better to save a little money on clothing.
"The two ready-made garments currently on the mannequins are priced at three hundred taels of silver, while weekly custom orders are priced at eight hundred taels of silver," Nan Wusi announced the prices.
"You're charging way too much. How can we trust your custom-made products when we haven't even seen them?"
"Your prices are almost on par with those of the Ni Chang Ge (a famous clothing brand), how can the quality of your little shop be as good as Ni Chang Ge's?"
"Is this shopkeeper out of his mind for money?"
At this moment, all sorts of discordant voices rang out, giving Nan Wusi a headache.
