Chapter 212 Hiring
"Hmm?" Ah Xiang exchanged a puzzled look with Fu Xiangdi.
Shu Yu's expression turned serious. "Aunt Xiang may not have heard yet, but our family owns a clothing shop in the county town. Right now, my mother is the only one making clothes in the shop, and there aren't many clothes left. So we're thinking of hiring someone else to work in the shop."
Ah Xiang and Fu Xiangdi's eyes widened slightly. Was this what they thought it meant? Was it?
The next moment, Shu Yu's words confirmed their guess: "My mother immediately thought of Aunt Xiang and said that you are the most suitable candidate. That's why I came to find you today and wanted to ask Aunt Xiang's opinion."
Ah Xiang became slightly agitated, suddenly grabbing Fu Xiangdi's hand beside her and asking uncertainly, "You, you mean, hire me to make clothes?"
"Yes, but before that, I'd like to see Aunt Xiang's cooking skills first. Is that alright?"
Ah Xiang immediately nodded, "Yes, of course."
Shu Yu then untied the bundle she had brought, saying, "I have a piece of cloth here, and a simple clothing pattern that I drew myself. I want Aunt Xiang to make a child's outfit and see how it looks."
Ah Xiang nervously took the drawing. Shu Yu's drawing was very simple, just a single style.
Ah Xiang seemed to understand it, but not quite, and asked a few more questions about some of the details.
When Shu Yu explained it to her, she immediately understood and rolled up her sleeves, saying, "I'll do it now."
"Okay." It's just a very simple garment. Shu Yu mainly focuses on the stitching and details, as well as Ah Xiang's comprehension. Two or three hours should be enough.
Ah Xiang didn't delay any longer. She quickly took the cloth into the room, took out her sewing basket, and began to prepare to cut.
Fu Xiangdi helped her from the side, but after a short while, she looked up and saw Shu Yu sitting there alone, and felt a little guilty.
Fu Xiangdi pondered for a moment, then ran to the kitchen and got some wild fruits.
These were all picked by her own mountain, and they were still very fresh. She washed them and brought them to Shu Yu, saying, "Sister Lu, please have some fruit first. My mother and I will be done soon."
Shu Yu nodded. "Thank you."
Fu Xiangdi laughed and quickly ran back into the room.
Both mother and daughter were very skilled. Ah Xiang cut and sewed clothes while Fu Xiangdi assisted her. The two worked together very well and were very fast.
Therefore, the garment was completed much faster than Shu Yu had anticipated.
Before long, the clothes were placed in Shuyu's hands.
Shu Yu drew the pattern according to San Ya's measurements and finalized the design based on San Ya's face shape and body shape. The finished product is indeed exactly the same as her drawing, without any flaws.
Shu Yu examined it for a while, paying particular attention to the stitching and other details, and finally put it away with satisfaction.
"It seems my mother was right, Aunt Xiang's cooking skills are indeed very good."
Ah Xiang breathed a sigh of relief. Because she was a little nervous, she was afraid that she had made a mistake. Even though she had checked, she was still worried.
Hearing Shu Yu say this, she was finally relieved.
"That's good."
Shu Yu sat up straight. "Then, shall we talk about the working conditions and key points?"
Ah Xiang pursed her lips, and finally asked again, still uncertain, "Are you really going to hire me?"
"Of course, you passed all the tests."
