Wang Shufen saw that the women did not dislike Chi Yin's apprenticeship, so she recommended with a smile, "Although Lao Zhao has solid skills, he is an older man after all. The clothes he made are quite conventional, lacking some novelty that can make women show off their figures and temperament. I think Chi Yin is very smart. Look at the short shirt she made. Apart from the elastic band on the hem, there are many small details that hide her cleverness."
Chi Yin was slightly embarrassed by the compliment.
The woman took the blouse in her hand again and looked at it carefully. Indeed, the sleeveless short design exuded a playful and beautiful temperament. Wearing it made one feel five years younger.
The fake collar is hollow, which will make you look so elegant when you wear it!
The woman thinks that if she pairs this short-sleeved shirt with a pair of black leggings, everyone who sees it will take a second look!
Wang Shufen said, "Chi Yin's home is at No. 1, Lane 6, District 4. Next time you have fabric you want processed, you can go to her house and find her."
The more the woman looked at the shirt, the more reluctant she was to put it down. She hoped that Chi Yin could imitate the same style. She smiled and agreed, "Sure, from now on, my family's Lao Zhang's clothes will be made by Master Zhao, and mine will be made by Master Xiao Chi! But Master Xiao Chi, you must make sure that the style of the clothes you make for me cannot be the same as others!"
"No problem." Chi Yin saw that the woman came from a family with some money, so she agreed first. She lived one life longer than others, and she could bring out all the fashionable styles that she saw on TV in her previous life. Wouldn't that solve the problem of the new styles that the customers were talking about?
The woman handed the cloth directly to Chi Yin and told her to pick it up at her home in two days.
Chi Yin sent the woman out of the hospital, then came back to pack up her notebook and prepare to go to Nanyi City.
...
...
Wang Shufen came out of the room and handed Chi Yin a card. "This person is your master's acquaintance who buys fabrics in Nanyi City. Go find her and ask her to buy fabrics for your master. The shop next to her sells sewing tools. You can buy them there to save time."
Chi Yin put the business card into her canvas bag, thanked Wang Shufen, put on her bag and went to the bus station to buy a ticket.
It was one o'clock in the afternoon. Chi Yin thought about how time-consuming it would be to queue up to buy a ticket, and that it would take two hours for one to arrive.
She used the method Su Zhou had taught her last time and stood at the exit waiting. When a passenger bus to Nanyi City drove out of the station and arrived at the gate, she quickly ran to get on it.
According to common sense, you shouldn't pick up any more passengers after leaving the bus station, but the fare from the passengers you pick up can go directly into your own pocket. The driver glanced at the rearview mirror inside the car, and when he found that no one was paying attention, he opened the door and motioned Chi Yin to get in.
Chi Yin found a fabric wholesale shop based on the business card. She bought the tools first, and after counting the money, she had seven or eight yuan left, so she used five yuan to buy gauze fabric.
She had thought everything through. It was July now, and the gauze fabric was not sticky when she wore it.
Now the streets are full of Dacron. There will be a Hong Kong shirt craze starting in the 1990s. If Hong Kong shirts were made in advance...
Just thinking about it makes Chi Yin full of energy!
After Chi Yin got home, he put down the whole sack of things, pinched his waist, and gasped.
Aunt Li was cooking dinner in the kitchen. When she heard the noise, she wiped her hands and went out to see what was going on.
In addition to various lightweight tailoring tools, the sack also contains quite thick gauze fabrics.
Aunt Li looked at Chi Yin in surprise, "You really listened to your master's wife and are going to open the stall now?"
Chi Yin nodded, "I took all the gauze fabrics, which is my strong point."
Aunt Li was extremely shocked. She felt that Chi Yin had lost all his common sense in life because he went to Wang Shufen every day to have special treatment.
Aunt Li said, "Don't be in a hurry to pay my salary. You can pay it two months later, or save it for the New Year. I guess you'll spend all the money after buying these. You have to be careful with the remaining money. The two children are still growing up, so don't let them down."
Chi Yin was slightly stunned, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.
As they were talking, Old Li came in, opened the sack and took a look. Compared to Aunt Li's worry, he was actually happy. He was also currently running a fish restaurant and was in the start-up phase. Seeing Chi Yin joining the business, he suddenly felt like he had a companion.
Old Li smiled so much that wrinkles appeared on his face. He immediately went home to paint the wooden board that he used to make the fish restaurant sign last time, and wrote the name of Chi Yin’s stall with a brush - Xiaochi Tailor!
During dinner, Aunt Li was still worried about Chi Yin, saying that the stall was opened too early and all the money was invested. How would the three of them, mother and daughter, eat in the future?
Chi Yin, however, felt that no matter in which era, if you opened a shop or a stall, you would have to sit on the bench for half a month, especially a tailor stall, which relied on word of mouth. Only when the word of mouth was known would there be customers.
......
At night, Chi Yin coaxed the child to sleep, tucked the quilt in, and tiptoed to the living room.
She lit the kerosene lamp and bent over the sewing machine.
Draw the diagram in your notebook like you did last night.
Choose a piece of white gauze, fold it vertically and place it on the paper, fix the edges with pins, and cut with scissors.
Sew shoulders, work on neckline, and attach sleeves.
But Chi Yin finished a cardigan in just two hours.
Chi Yin rubbed his sore eyes, blew out the kerosene lamp, and went back to his room to sleep.
......
The next morning, Chi Yin woke up and took out a pink floral dress with suspenders that she had worn before she got married from her closet.
Paired with the off-white cardigan that I hastily sewed last night, it is simple and elegant, and really enhances your temperament.
She used lace-up design on the part from the neck to the chest of the cardigan, adding romance and relaxation to the feminine style.
At the training class, many women stared at Chi Yin, thinking that she was gentle and fashionable, and the cardigan she was wearing matched her perfectly.
Even Chi Yan was shocked. In her memory, Chi Yin always wore gray dacron shirts and only wore dresses when attending banquets.
Now she actually wears a skirt on her own initiative, and even tells the female students who ask her about it that the cardigan she wears is not bought from the supply and marketing cooperative but designed by herself.
Being so ostentatious and showing off is really not in line with Chi Yin's calm personality!
Could it be——
Chi Yin is using his craft as a living signboard? !
Chi Yan didn't take it seriously on the surface, but she was actually filled with jealousy and wanted to tear Chi Yin's clothes off on the spot.
Ever since Liu Qingchun stopped coming to the training class, Chi Yan had a hard time dealing with Chi Yin on her own, and she often ended up losing more than she gained.
Chi Yin has now opened a tailoring stall, and there has been no movement from Liu Qingchun.
Chi Yan could no longer sit still and went to Liu Liqun's office during the fifteen-minute break.
Liu Liqun put the lesson plan on the table and looked at Chi Yan who was sitting opposite him. "Did you tell Chi Yin about the forged signature?"
Chi Yan was shocked, but on the surface, she lowered her eyelids and shook her head, "Chi Yin is the common enemy of Qingchun and me. I wish she could help me teach Chi Yin a lesson, so how could she stab me in the back?"
She sighed and said sympathetically, "But I don't blame you. My sister is a sly person. Last time, I moved the stool away from her, and she immediately assumed that I stuffed the youthful scarf into her bag. This time, she noticed that a page of her notebook was torn and she couldn't find it. Two hours later, she was accused of signing a public funds application form. She will definitely think about the cause and effect!"
Liu Liqun originally suspected that Chi Yin had seen through the details and that was why he turned the tables in such a short time. After seeing Chi Yan's explanation, he immediately gave up the idea of being cruel to her.
Liu Liqun said, "Qingchun has gone to Beijing. I'll ask her to look for you when she comes back."
Chi Yan finally understood. No wonder Liu Qingchun didn't give her any ideas these days and she had to fight Chi Yin alone.
Chi Yan said a few polite words and stood up to leave, but Liu Liqun stopped her, "Wait."
