Chapter 31, Sister Zhou, I Want...
The three young women were of ordinary appearance and dressed simply; they were girls from ordinary families.
The three of them were immediately drawn to the clothes on the bamboo figure as soon as they entered the store. They walked straight over, reached out to touch them, but then withdrew their hands. One of them timidly asked Zhou Mujiao, "Excuse me, may I touch it?"
"You can touch the fabric, check the embroidery, and try it on."
Zhou Mujiao smiled and said, "The three ladies have excellent taste. These are our shop's newest styles, which only come in three sets each. The three of you can buy matching outfits as sister outfits and wear them together on the street. Everyone will know that you are good friends and sisters. You can also choose the style that suits your individual style."
Best friends can be beautiful together, or they can be beautiful individually, but whichever kind of beauty you choose, it's a beauty that belongs uniquely to each of you.
The three girls exchanged glances, all eager to try, but unsure whether to buy the same style or different styles.
"The three of you don't need to worry about it. No matter how beautiful or how much you like the clothes, you only know which one suits you best after you try them on. Each style comes in different colors, so try on different colors of the same style first, and then try on different styles of the same color."
Zhou Mujiao packed different colored clothes for the three of them according to their appearance, temperament, and personality. The three of them were quite surprised when they saw the clothes in their arms. One of them even exclaimed, "Shopkeeper, how did you know I like blue?"
"The young lady is dignified and poised, but there is a hint of melancholy between her brows. This smoky blue color is just like you: dignified and poised, yet able to keep your thoughts hidden and not easily let others see through them."
"This girl has bright and lively eyes, so pink would definitely make her look more playful."
"As for this young lady, you have an elegant and outstanding temperament, so this color suits you very well."
The three girls blushed as they were told this, but their eyes were full of joy, and they couldn't wait to put the clothes on right now.
When the time was right, Zhou Mujiao called out, "Sister Liu, are you ready? The guests want to try on their clothes!"
Sister Liu had already changed her clothes. She deliberately didn't come out because she wanted to hear how Zhou Mujiao was selling the clothes she brought. Unexpectedly, she heard Zhou Mujiao talking nonsense.
However, when she came out and saw what the three girls looked like, she realized she was wrong. Zhou Mujiao wasn't talking nonsense; she had just highlighted the three girls' strengths and exaggerated them a bit!
"Sister Liu, this outfit suits you very well. It makes you look radiant, younger, and very elegant." Zhou Mujiao asked the three girls, "What do you think of Sister Liu's look?!"
The three nodded repeatedly.
None of them were well-educated and couldn't find the right words to describe it, but the clothes suited Sister Liu perfectly, looked great, and felt comfortable. Although the colors were vibrant, they didn't come across as frivolous.
Sister Liu's face was full of smiles: "Oh my, no matter how pretty I am, can I be as pretty as you young people? Come on in, and come out so I can admire you. Oh my, you young girls are so lovely, like blooming flowers, so beautiful."
The three girls went inside to change their clothes. Zhou Mujiao carefully looked Liu Jie up and down, then turned around and took a wildflower she had picked along the way from the basket and put it in Liu Jie's hair: "Perfect."
Sister Liu touched the wildflowers in her hair and the clothes on her body. Her heart was filled with tenderness and joy, a feeling she hadn't experienced in a long time.
The three girls changed into new clothes, and their whole demeanor was completely different. Zhou Mujiao didn't even need to say anything more; the three of them saw appreciation and affirmation in each other's eyes. So they took another set of clothes inside and changed into them, and the effect was equally stunning.
Zhou Mujiao smiled and said, "There's another one here. Would the three of you like to try it on? Maybe that set will look great too."
Once you try it, you won't want to let go of any of them; you want them all.
The round-faced girl timidly asked about the price, wondering if she could get a discount if she bought two sets. Zhou Mujiao smiled at Sister Liu, who waved her hand and said, "I'm in a good mood today, and you're my first customers, so I'll do you a good start. The original price is two hundred coins, but I'll charge you one hundred and fifty coins per set!"
Zhou Mujiao chimed in, "If you like our clothes, the three of you should bring more of your girlfriends over. Our Sister Liu will give you the same discount as regular customers!"
Such a beautiful dress is only 150 coins a piece? This quality would cost at least half a tael of silver in the shops ahead!
All three felt they had made a good deal, so they gritted their teeth and each bought two sets, without even taking off the one they were wearing.
After paying the bill and leaving, Zhou Mujiao gave each of them two handkerchiefs.
The clothes were beautiful, the price was reasonable, and they even got a nice handkerchief. The three girls were very happy and said they would recommend other girls to them later.
In the time it takes to drink tea, six items have been sold. Sister Liu looks at Zhou Mujiao like she's a money tree. She says, "Little sister Zhou, I'd like to—"
Zhao Yunjing interrupted her directly: "She doesn't want to. Ajiao, the clothes have been delivered, let's go!"
Sister Liu gave her a look and scolded, "Why are you interrupting me so hastily? How do you know what I'm thinking? Honestly. Sister Jiao, there are still three items that haven't been sold, and we haven't settled on how to split the money yet. Besides, it's still early. Why are we going there? Jiao, come, let's talk about it carefully..."
Zhao Yunjing touched his nose and silently hung the last three dresses on the mannequin. Just as he hung them up, two young women came in. They immediately took a liking to the dresses on the mannequin, tried them on, and were very satisfied, too lazy to take them off.
How can you get new clothes without buying a new pair of shoes?
With new clothes and shoes, shouldn't we also get some new clothes and a new wallet?
The two girls came from well-off families. They came in empty-handed, but after walking around the store, they came out with their hands full of things.
The five girls who went out earlier became the focus of the whole city after walking half a circle on the street in their new clothes. When they found out that the clothes were bought from Sister Liu and that they were a limited edition, the girls all rushed over and shouted that they wanted to buy the new styles as soon as they entered the door.
Two wealthy young ladies, who were not short of money, came in and said they wanted to book the whole place.
Sister Liu had never seen anything like this before, and she was so nervous that she could hardly speak. At this moment, Zhou Mujiao became her pillar of support.
The new styles were naturally sold out long ago, but Zhou Mujiao was prepared. Sister Liu was still wearing a set, so she asked Sister Liu to take off her clothes and let the girls try them on one by one. After trying them on, they would leave their body size information, then choose styles and colors from the catalog prepared by Zhou Mujiao, and finally go to Zhao Yunjing to pay a deposit to reserve them.
Most of the young girls come for the latest styles, while the women in their thirties and forties, having gotten married, are more restricted and hesitant to try new things, so they opt for the most fashionable styles. Sister Liu is responsible for serving this group of customers.
Later, there were so many people that it was crowded and noisy. Zhou Mujiao saw that Ma Dalang was still outside, so she pulled him over to do hard labor and made him maintain order outside. Even so, he was still so busy that he couldn't even touch the ground.
The number of guests gradually decreased after noon.
Sister Liu was so tired that her back was bent, and she kept rubbing it, groaning, "I'm exhausted! I've been running this shop for ten years and I've never been this tired before!"
Zhou Mujiao placed the booklet in front of Zhao Yunjing: "After you finish reading it, you won't feel tired anymore."
