Chapter 328 Thoughts
Mrs. Lu knew her sisters' personalities.
The clothes must be good, that's why she wants to buy them.
Otherwise she wouldn't buy it.
This sister came here to accompany her this time and didn't want to buy clothes.
Before coming, she said that she had already ordered seasonal clothes and would not buy any.
He also said that there are no good clothes in a town like this.
Yes, in the past, there really weren’t any good styles and patterns for ready-made clothes, and even the fabrics weren’t good either.
Who would have thought that such a good thing could exist in this small town.
Madam Lu smiled and said angrily, "Didn't you say you wouldn't buy it?"
Madam Wang smiled and said, "It's because you look so good in it that I couldn't help but want to buy it."
"I'm not kidding, this outfit really makes you look taller and thinner, and it really shows off your figure."
Madam Lu smiled and said, "You can see it in the mirror. The effect is really good."
When Liu saw that the lady next to her also needed clothes, she instantly became motivated.
Their wages are fixed, but their bonuses are not. They do receive commissions, and the more clothes they sell, the more bonuses they get.
Liu looked at the lady and a smile blossomed on her face.
"Ma'am, if you are thinner and have a good figure, you can wear clothes that show off your figure better."
As Liu helped recommend a model, Wang also went into the fitting room to try it on. When she came out, even Lu was excited.
"You know what, you look really good in this outfit. It's very curvy and makes you look a lot younger. The color really suits you."
My sister is not very particular about food and eats less on weekdays, so she is naturally thinner. I didn’t think she had a good figure before, but this outfit fully shows off her figure.
Wang looked in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad."
"I should bring my daughter over here later to have a look and pick out some clothes. The clothes here look really good on little girls."
Wang looked to the other side.
Two other clerks were serving the girls.
There were many girls buying clothes, and the two shop assistants seemed overwhelmed. Everyone was asking questions one after another.
Their mouths are always busy.
"Help me pick out an outfit and see what kind of clothes I wear."
The clerk took a look at the woman's figure and quickly said, "This one, this one makes you look younger and smaller, and it's also more flowing. You seem to have a lively and cheerful personality, and this kind of dress will really complement you."
The other girls were also anxiously looking at clothes and asked, "You are quite good at choosing clothes. Your store has quite a lot of styles. Can you help our lady pick one out as well?"
The clerk saw that the woman had a gentle temperament and recommended a plain-colored dress, "This one will show your temperament more and will be more elegant..."
They all received training before coming to the store.
The boss personally trained them and also tested them.
They will be asked what styles of clothes are suitable for people with different body shapes and what sizes and numbers are appropriate.
During the training, out of more than ten people, only they were chosen to come to the store because they learned well, knew a lot, and could speak.
"They're really beautiful. Who designed these clothes? They're much better looking than our custom-made clothes."
"Yeah, this fabric is comfortable to wear."
Everyone smiled and said, "It's our boss. Our boss is amazing. The lipstick you use is made by our boss..."
"Is this true? Is the lipstick made by your boss?"
The store employees are very proud.
I explained, "Of course, we won't lie to you. We know how to make people beautiful. You will look better with lipstick, and you will look even better with the clothes in our store."
"Oh, yes, there are also bags. These clothes can be matched with various bags. After you pick out the clothes, you can choose bags according to the style and color of the clothes."
“These hanging bags?”
"Yes, yes, these are the bags. Each bag is different. You can carry them out. Don't worry about whether these bags are the same as others."
"It looks pretty good. Take it down and let's take a look."
The shop assistants were busy again.
The girls all rushed to look at the bag.
The clerk explained to them how to carry it.
"There are compartments inside, so you can put things in there. When you go out on weekdays, you can put some things in the bag, such as lipstick, facial cream, handkerchiefs, etc. It's so convenient, and it looks good when you carry it..."
"This is the latest stuff, and only we have it here. It's not even available in the capital. If you go to the banquet, you'll be able to outdo everyone else."
Liu watched the ladies choose their clothes and then hurriedly recommended bags.
"Madam, you look so elegant in your attire. It would be so nice to carry such an elegant bag when you go out. It can hold a lot of things and is very convenient for going out."
"This style matches this dress and looks good when carried on the back."
As she said that, Liu quickly took out the backpack and asked the lady to try it out.
Mrs. Lu thought it was good and decided to buy it as well.
However, Mrs. Wang hesitated and didn't buy it.
"I don't use this bag much, I just use it to buy clothes."
Some ladies liked the clothes they bought last time, so they brought their children to choose things this time.
The shop assistants were busy as hell.
A piece of clothing costs dozens of taels of silver, but these ladies are willing to spend money.
In the words of the boss, people with good financial conditions and a love for beauty are willing to pay for clothes they like.
Of course, most ordinary people would still choose to buy fabric and make clothes at home.
The ready-to-wear products are still high-end.
Shen Yueyao thought that once the market was opened up and the clothes gained a good reputation, she could make better clothes.
It means making clothes with more expensive fabrics.
Some ladies originally came with their relatives, friends and children to buy clothes.
But when I saw the latest clothes, I couldn’t help but go into the fitting room to try them on.
I tried it on and thought it was good, so I bought it right away.
It was my first time in the store and I didn’t know anything, so I needed the help and guidance of the store clerk.
Those who have been there once or twice and have experience can just look at it and try it on in the store themselves.
Some little girls were chattering and laughing, and they were very happy to see the surprised looks on their sisters' eyes when they came out wearing clothes that suited their styles.
I feel more confident when I wear nice clothes.
Many people buy bags together with clothes.
Some people just buy clothes without buying bags.
A young lady came in with her maid and looked directly at the bag on the wall with a rather unhappy look on her face.
The shop assistants all looked at her expression, and one of them hurried over and said, "Miss, how can I help you?"
"What can I do for you?"
The lady said, "I bought clothes from your store last time. I tried on a bag from your store before, so why didn't I see it this time?"
The clerk suddenly realized and quickly explained, "Well, miss, we only have one of each style of bag in our store, and they're all different. Maybe the one you liked last time was sold out. But you can take a look at the other bags in the store; they're all the latest models."
"The bags in our store are really popular. Maybe the bag you are looking at this time will not be available next time."
"It's also not easy to find a bag that matches the style of clothes. The bags we released later were all different styles..."
“The colors are different too…”
The lady was a little depressed.
"I'll give you money, and you can help me make a new one."
When the clerk heard this, his expression changed.
The boss is really smart. He has guessed all kinds of situations that may be encountered when opening a store. There are simulated scenario training during the training. When faced with such situations, the boss has already taught them how to deal with them.
"I'm really sorry, miss, this is the rule of our store."
Seeing that the lady was very unhappy, the clerk quickly explained: "The owner also wants every bag you carry to be unique."
"Miss, think about it, if you were to go out or attend a party and you saw someone carrying the same bag as you, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable?"
"If you carry a bag and you know that no two bags are the same, you'll feel happier carrying it, right?"
The young lady was persuaded and did not get angry.
I just looked around the store and looked at the styles of bags.
I don’t know what happened. When I came to the store to buy clothes before, I saw that bag. I thought it was pretty good at the time. I wanted to buy it, but I also felt that I didn’t need to buy it. I hesitated and didn’t buy it.
But after returning home, she hesitated for a few days and decided to come and buy it.
The more I can't buy it, the better I think that bag is, and I feel that none of these bags can compare to it.
The main reason was that one of the clothes she chose had a unique color that she really liked, and the bag also looked particularly good with the clothes.
The lady said angrily, "When will you send new bags?"
The clerk explained, "We release the latest bag styles every seven days. You can come and take a look then, young lady."
The lady nodded and walked away depressed.
When other people saw this scene, those who didn't want to buy the bag started to hesitate, wondering whether to buy it or not.
Mrs. Wang hadn't planned to buy a bag, but when she saw the clerk put the bag she had just looked at upstairs, she quickly pointed and said, "Take this down for me. I'll buy it."
Liu's eyes narrowed into slits due to laughter, and she quickly bandaged them up.
After the two ladies paid their bill, she hurried to serve other customers.
Most of those who hesitated to buy a bag ended up buying one.
Because, as the store clerk said, "Our bags are actually slow to make. They're starting to become popular now, and they might be limited in quantity later on. By then, bags won't be as easy to buy as they are now."
I remember my boss said this is called hunger marketing.
Anyway, after hearing this, many people who were still hesitating bought it.
Of course, this is not a lie.
Because when making bags, it is impossible to produce them on an assembly line like clothes.
If you make a lot of bags of the same style, you can do this.
The key is that each bag is different, so the design and production process is slower.
Once it becomes popular, if you don’t buy it, you will have to limit the purchase.
Of course, it is possible that other embroidery workshops will imitate, but no matter how they imitate, they will never be able to compare with their store.
Shen Yueyao has lived in the technological age, and she knows in her mind how to make various bags in various styles.
Just design and draw it directly, no need to think.
Even Daya and Erya have their own unique insights into bag design under her guidance.
…
Su Xueyi and Su Xiuye's carriage moved forward along with the queue. When they arrived at the door, they looked at the situation in the store and roughly understood everything.
Su Xiuye said: "Daya said before that these people had been trained by the third sister-in-law, and they were amazing at dealing with various situations. Even Daya and Erya went to learn from them. Daya said that they could really learn a lot."
Su Xiuye felt that his third brother's wife was very different from the girls in Beijing.
She is only two years older than my daughter, but no matter how hard my daughter tries, she can never compare to my third brother's wife.
Su Xueyi smiled, he was very grateful, grateful that Yao Niang came to him.
He knew that Yao Niang was from another world of time and space.
Nature is different from people of this era.
Yao Niang also said that people from their area have been going to school and studying since they were young, both boys and girls.
Su Xiuye seemed to have thought of something and said, "Third brother, there is something I, as the eldest brother, don't know whether I should say it or not."
Su Xueyi said, "Brother, there's something you can't say. We're brothers, so just say it directly."
Su Xiuye said seriously, "Third brother, our family is now able to get better, all thanks to your sister-in-law. Not to mention others, even I regard your sister-in-law as my benefactor. She is not only your sister-in-law, but also the benefactor of our family."
"It's Daya, right? I used to be so caught up in my own emotions that I didn't take good care of her. When she grew up, she became paranoid. I didn't know how to communicate with her. She almost died because of her temper. This time, it was thanks to my sister-in-law that she was saved..."
"You can also clearly see the changes in Mother and Erya. I think Dabao and Erbao will have great futures."
"I know you will have no problem in this provincial examination. You will definitely pass it. If you take higher exams in the future, you will do even better. Yao Niang is from the countryside. Although she had a bad temper in the past, she is so kind now. She even cured your leg. Don't do anything to let Yao Niang down. We must not forget our roots."
Su Xiuye said this very seriously.
It's also because of his younger brother, so he is also doing it for his own good, so he gives some advice when necessary.
"I know that what I'm saying may be unnecessary. You have a good relationship with your younger siblings, but as your older brother, I also hope for your best."
Su Xiuye had experienced what happened to Daya's mother, so he naturally understood the importance of having a good wife.
"As the saying goes, marry a virtuous wife; a virtuous wife brings prosperity to the family, and a harmonious family brings prosperity to all."
Su Xueyi knew that her elder brother said this for her own good.
And the eldest brother didn't know that Yao Niang was no longer the same person she used to be.
Su Xueyi said, "Brother, I understand. I know it in my heart."
"Don't worry, I will treat Yao Niang well. No matter what her status is, Yao Niang is my only wife. I only drink from one of the three thousand rivers."
"I won't take any concubines, only Yao Niang."
Moreover, in Yaoniang's world, monogamy is also the norm.
Su Xiuye was also stunned when he heard Su Xueyi's serious words just now.
Seeing his third brother's serious look, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay!"
"You are worthy of being my Su family member."
“It’s just courage.”
Su Xiuye burst into laughter.
So he felt relieved.
Afterwards, Su Xiuye and Su Xueyi went shopping and prepared to return to the village.
When passing by the entrance of Jinxiu Store, there were still a lot of people.
…
Shen Yueyao and Madam Meng had already kneaded dough of various colors at home and washed and cut all the vegetables in the house.
Just waiting for Su Xiuye and Su Xueyi to buy the things back.
After the two people came back, everyone started to get busy making dumplings.
After Shen Yueyao prepared the fillings of various flavors, everyone gathered around the large working board and started working together.
There is no rule at home about not talking while eating or sleeping.
Talking while cooking.
Even the eldest and second child were playing with the dough.
Shen Yueyao would use dough to make a small animal for them, and then give them a small piece of dough for them to play with.
The two of them had a lot of fun.
Su Daya said, "Aunt San's dumplings will be very popular even if they are sold outside."
Su Xiuye said, "Speaking of which, when we were going to town, we happened to pass by the Jinxiufang store. Business was booming, with a lot of people coming in and out. When people came out, most of them were holding clothes and bags they had bought."
Su Daya said, "That's because Third Aunt is amazing. The clothes she makes are all very beautiful."
She and Erya now each have two sets.
Moreover, they are the only ones who have their styles, no other sizes are available.
They are reluctant to wear it at home on weekdays, but they can wear it when they go out.
Madam Meng smiled and said, "As long as Yao Niang is doing business, we can rest assured."
"That's it, Yao Niang, don't get tired. You have to take breaks when doing so many things at once."
Shen Yueyao shook her head and said, "It's not tiring. It's just a bit busy in the early stages, and the rest can be left to the people below."
Madam Meng sighed, "You are still good at managing your subordinates."
Shen Yueyao explained, "In fact, as long as we set up the rules and regulations and let the people below do their work according to them, we will have less worries. If someone breaks the rules, we must not let them off lightly. We will reward them when they deserve it and punish them when they deserve it. This will also make people afraid to break the rules, and management will be much easier this way."
Madam Meng nodded and said, "Indeed, you should all listen carefully. What Yao Niang said makes a lot of sense."
Old Madam Meng looked at Shen Yueyao with a sigh.
If Yao Niang were a man, he would definitely achieve great things as an official.
Fortunately, Yao Niang is also Xue Yi's wife. With such a good and virtuous wife like Yao Niang, she doesn't have to worry too much if Xue Yi passes the exam to become an official in the future.
There is strength in numbers, and dumplings can be made faster.
Even Su Xiuye helped to roll out the dough.
Everyone was chatting and laughing together, and Su Xueyi also told everyone about what happened in the academy this time.
"My classmates at the Fucheng Academy are all very good. When we went to take the imperial examinations together, we all lived in the same house. This time, after the exam, I came back with Wang Ce and several other classmates, as well as the county magistrate's son, Qiu Haowen..."
Su Xiuye paused, "What did you say? The county magistrate's son, Qiu Haowen?"
Su Xueyi saw her eldest brother looking at her like that, as well as Shen Yueyao, Daya and Erya's expressions. She finally realized something and asked, "What's wrong? What's the problem?"
Shen Yueyao explained, "It was the concubine Ke that the county magistrate favored before, and the teacher Ke who was beside him, who accepted bribes and oppressed the people. But now the matter has been resolved. Teacher Ke is dead, and concubine Ke is locked up in the other courtyard. The county magistrate will not let her come out to cause trouble, so there will be no problem now."
Su Xueyi probably had some guesses in her mind.
Shen Yueyao didn't say much, because she felt that her mother was here and she didn't want her to worry.
She didn't say much about these things.
Su Xueyi nodded and said, "Qiu Haowen is a good man with solid knowledge. On the way back, we were planning to take a passing carriage back."
"Qiu Haowen's family had a carriage, so he suggested that we take it back together. When we got to the county town, he arranged for his servants to drive the horses and take us back to our respective villages."
"So when we came back, the journey was much more convenient."
Shen Yueyao's expression changed. She thought about the time when she entered the county magistrate's house and heard the county magistrate's wife mention Wen'er. She thought it was probably Qiu Haowen.
Since Xue Yi said that this person is good, then this person must be good.
As they talked, everyone quickly finished wrapping dumplings of various colors and fillings.
After wrapping, put it in the pot and cook.
After cooking, the family sat together to eat dumplings.
“Delicious, delicious.”
"When the weather gets cold, I think about eating dumplings. Dumplings are really delicious."
Su Daya looked intoxicated while eating dumplings.
Su Erya blinked and said, "The dumpling wrappers taste different too. Third Aunt is amazing. She can make all kinds of delicious flavors."
"But I think if you eat hot pot when it's cold, your whole body will warm up."
Shen Yueyao looked at Su Erya with amusement and said, "You want to eat hot pot."
Su Erya chuckled and stuck out her tongue.
In the past, she would not have dared to act rashly in front of her third aunt.
But now they are familiar with and close to Third Aunt, and they tell her everything, and Third Aunt also dotes on them.
"In that case, let's eat hot pot tomorrow."
Everyone was very happy when they heard about having hotpot.
Su Xiuye said, "I didn't expect that preserved eggs could be used to make dumplings, and they're so delicious."
Su Daya said, "Dad, when you were not home, Third Aunt made century egg wontons for us, and they were delicious."
Speaking of preserved eggs, Su Xueyi said, "Some of my classmates brought preserved eggs and meat sauce with them when they went on scientific expeditions. They said that preserved eggs and meat sauce are easy to store, and if you bring them with you, it will be more convenient to eat them with dry food."
"When I went to the scientific examination, the environment in the examination room was very simple. Everyone had to bring their own food. The examination lasted for nine days. If you brought things that were difficult to store, they would easily go bad."
"Don't eat spoiled food in the exam room. If you eat spoiled food, you will easily get an upset stomach."
Su Xueyi knew that the scientific examinations of this era not only tested the level of knowledge mastered, but also tested people's perseverance.
Hearing that Shen Yueyao was so kind and caring about Su Xueyi, I thought that I should take good care of Su Xueyi in the next few days.
Madam Meng said, "Now that you're back this time, can you stay home for a while longer?"
Su Xueyi nodded and said, "Well, you can stay a little longer."
Everyone was very happy when they heard this.
When Su Xueyi was not at home, although everyone knew that he had gone out to study, they were still not used to him being away.
It is a very happy thing to see the whole family together every day.
A smile appeared on Shen Yueyao's face.
Dabao looked at his father carefully and said, "Daddy has lost weight."
Madam Meng smiled and said, "Oh, our Dabao really loves his father. He is so sensible and caring at such a young age."
Erbao was not to be outdone and said, "Dad, I can bake bread. I'll bake bread for you."
Everyone was amused by Liangbao's words.
When it comes to baking bread, most of the time it’s the eldest and second babies watching from the side.
When Daya and Erya were baking bread, they couldn't bear to let them watch.
At most, you can ask them to help you take it out.
Shen Yueyao asked softly, "Do you miss your dad?"
Shen Yueyao will guide Dabao and Erbao to express their thoughts.
Dabao and Erbao seemed a little embarrassed, but still nodded.
Su Xueyi looked at them, feeling both warmed and touched.
"Dad misses you too."
In the past, Su Xueyi would not have been able to say such words, but under Yao Niang's subtle influence, Su Xueyi would also say something appropriate.
Because children need this kind of emotional expression.
Dabao and Erbao were very happy when they heard this, and they showed bright smiles on their faces.
"Dad brought gifts for you all, I'll give them to you later."
"And my mother, elder brother, eldest daughter and second daughter, I also brought you gifts."
Su Xiuye asked, "Where did you get the money?"
Su Xueyi said, "The money I earned from every exam in the academy."
Madam Meng said, "You are going to take the exam. You don't have to worry about home all the time. If you take good care of yourself, we will be relieved."
Despite saying so, Mrs. Meng was still very happy.
The most important thing for her son to think of her is not the thing, but the thought.
