Yuanyang thought, how should I know? I'm still on probation, but after all, I've been here for a few days and can't show my weakness in front of these newcomers.
"What are you doing here?"
Qin Lu blinked and said, "As an embroiderer."
"That's it. You're here to be an embroiderer, so just do your job well. As for how to do it specifically, that's not something I can teach you."
Qin Lu nodded in agreement, "Thank you, Sister Yuanyang. I know what to do now!"
The next day, five embroiderers came to the embroidery workshop to work in high spirits.
The cook had already prepared breakfast, and under the instructions of the boss, Xue's mother, the breakfast was very sumptuous.
Not to mention the steamed buns, steamed bread, and fried dough sticks, there were also several kinds of side dishes. Everyone in the embroidery workshop ate their fill, and by the time they finished eating, it was almost the Si hour.
Madam Qiao took her maid to clean the room, water the flowers and plants, and tried her best to make the embroidery workshop look perfect and ready to receive guests at any time.
Xue's mother was in charge of embroidery. She took several embroiderers to the second floor. The rooms on the second floor were divided into embroidery rooms with different functions. For example, one room was dedicated to making small items such as handkerchiefs, purses, headbands, and fans; one room was dedicated to making clothes; one room was dedicated to making screens, and so on.
There was also a nearby storehouse where embroidery threads, cloths, frames, etc. Several embroiderers were brought by Xue's mother to the embroidery room dedicated to making clothes, waiting for her instructions nervously and expectantly.
Unexpectedly, the first thing Xue's mother asked them to do was: "You all took your measurements yesterday, so let's make clothes today. This is the uniform pattern of the embroiderer in the store. Go to the warehouse to get the cloth and make it for yourselves."
She took out the uniform design drawings that she had discussed with Xue Huan and Madam Qiao and showed them to the embroiderers.
Do it for yourself? The embroiderers were all stunned for a moment, then realized, yes, they have become embroiderers here, if they don’t do it themselves, will they spend money to hire someone else to do it?
The embroiderers came over to look at the drawings in the booklet and were immediately amazed.
"This dress is so beautiful."
"Yes, and I've never seen this style before."
The dress in the drawing is autumn attire. The top is a light green jacket embroidered with lotus flowers. It has a straight collar and is knee-length, with open hips under the arms and a waist belt. The bottom is a white culottes. Although it looks like a skirt, it is actually loose-fitting pants, allowing for greater freedom of movement.
After their initial amazement, the embroiderers began to discuss among themselves what kind of fabric would be best for such a dress. After all, the design didn't specify which fabric to use.
In fact, letting the embroiderers make their own uniforms is both a benefit and a challenge. If they do a good job, they will naturally benefit themselves, but if they do a poor job, it only shows that their abilities need improvement.
After discussing for a while, several embroiderers made up their minds and went to the warehouse.
Several embroiderers were experts in needlework, and since the clothes were made for themselves, they worked very quickly, finishing them in just half a day. The clothes looked very good after being worn.
Xue's mother looked at them one by one and nodded. Of course, the clothes couldn't be worn immediately after they were finished. They had to be washed first. There were maids in the embroidery workshop who were responsible for washing clothes. They took the clothes away and washed them.
Of course, there couldn't be just one uniform; there had to be at least two sets to rotate through. So the embroiderers made another set. With their previous experience, they worked even faster this time.
After the clothes were finished, shoes needed to be made. Xue's mother said, "Besides the specified styles, the shoes can be as exquisite as you want. Show your abilities."
This will of course further test the embroidery skills of the embroiderers.
Of course, while the shoes must be exquisitely crafted, they also need to be coordinated with the clothes. If they overshadow the main item, they will not look beautiful. The shoes took a little longer to make, but not much slower. By the end of the next day, five pairs of exquisite embroidered shoes were ready.
By this time, the first set of uniforms had dried and was ready to wear. The five of them went into the fitting room on the first floor, changed into their new clothes and shoes, and came out to make their debut.
Xue Huan was also present today to see how the skirt she designed as the chief designer would look on the body.
Xie Yun smoothed the hem of her clothes, feeling the smooth texture of the clothes, and felt very comfortable. She lifted the curtain of the fitting room and walked out slowly.
"Ah, Sister Xie, you are so beautiful!" Qin Lu happened to come out next to her and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration when he saw her.
Xie Yun pursed her lips and smiled, a little embarrassed, "You are also very beautiful."
She wasn't just complimenting him politely; she felt it from the bottom of her heart.
Qin Lu has fair skin, big eyes, a pink mouth, and chubby cheeks. She is cute and delicate. She looks very cute in this dress with fresh colors and simple and elegant style.
Of course, she herself is also very beautiful, but she herself is not aware of it.
Xie Yun's figure is just like her name, she has the graceful charm of the beauties of the Wei and Jin Dynasties. When she walks, her slender waist is faintly visible, and the curve created by her clothes is so amazing that people want to reach out and measure it.
The jacket makes thin people look thinner and covers up fat people's fat.
So, although the other girls' figures and looks weren't as outstanding as Xie Yun and Qin Lu, they still looked pretty good. Just look at the satisfied smiles on their faces.
Now, the embroidery workshop has embroiderers and uniforms. In the following days, the embroiderers worked hard to produce one piece of novel and beautiful clothing after another according to the design drawings.
Some of these clothes were worn on models, while others were hung on hangers, and were displayed in an orderly manner in the lobby.
From time to time, some people came in out of curiosity to take a look, but when they learned the prices of the clothes, they were shocked and left immediately.
After a few days, not a single piece of clothing was sold, and gradually, no one came in.
The employees were very worried about this, but Xue's mother and Mrs. Qiao remained calm because they had been instilled with various luxury goods business concepts by Xue Huan at the beginning of the store.
Jinluoyi is an embroidery workshop with aspirations and lofty ideals. Its goal is to lead the fashion of the entire Fengchi County and make those wealthy people proud to wear their clothes!
Besides, the styles they sell are not available on the market, the workmanship is exquisite, and the details are impeccable. How can such clothes be sold cheaply?
However, good wine needs no bush, and Xue Huan felt that she had to find an opportunity to advertise her own embroidery workshop.
Originally, she wanted to use Zhao Xiaoxian's identity to ask Shaoyao to help promote the product, but she changed her mind and quickly gave up the idea.
Although she does not despise Shaoyao's profession, it does not mean that other people have no opinions about her.
In this era, no matter how well a prostitute does, she is still a lowly person and is inferior to other people. If she asks Shaoyao to advertise for the embroidery workshop, it is very likely that the workshop will be labeled as "only for prostitutes". Then, in order to show their disdain for associating with prostitutes, other people will definitely stop patronizing Jinluoyi.
Later, when Jinluoyi's sales started to pick up and its reputation spread, if people like Shaoyao wanted to buy clothes, Jinluoyi would definitely welcome them. After all, their embroidery workshop is open to the public for business, and there is no reason to turn people away, right?
But now, in order to avoid giving others the impression of being old-fashioned, it is still necessary to promote it in a more formal and grand occasion.
This opportunity came soon.
