"Why did you buy something so expensive, you silly girl?"
These days, young people all give this as a wedding gift. Each one costs one or two hundred yuan, which is unaffordable for ordinary families. Whenever a girl gets married, she is envied by people from all around.
Jin Shu bought such a large item without saying a word, and even carried it back at night, so no one saw it.
Zhou Yanzhu felt a pang of heartache.
Do you know how to use it?
"meeting."
The village chief has one; he occasionally borrows it.
I feel bad about constantly borrowing it, so when I go, I have to bring some vegetables and a few eggs as payment.
"That's fine. Just follow this stitching pattern. It's okay if there are any gaps; just cover them with fabric patches."
How much can one of these sell for?
"I haven't decided yet, maybe three or five yuan."
“You can buy a decent piece of clothing for three or five yuan. Who would buy something that’s patched up all over?”
Zhou Yanzhu muttered to herself, worried that her daughter might lose money in business.
Jin Shu smiled calmly.
"It's okay, just do as I say."
Jin Shu wasn't sure if she could sell them, just like when she was making lace, she wasn't sure either.
But trends are something that can't be followed naturally.
Chinese people tend to follow the crowd and go with the flow. In this case, whether the clothes look good or not is one thing, but whether you actually own them is another.
The next morning, Jin Shu went straight to Xiao Wang's house wearing her newly bought sweater, jeans, and vest.
The moment Xiao Wang, still half asleep, saw Jin Shu, his eyes were glued to her.
In an instant, all sleepiness vanished.
Wow!! Where did you buy this? What is it? Tell me where you bought it, it looks so good on you!
Jin Shu twirled in front of her, just like a model in a magazine.
"Is it pretty?"
"It looks amazing!! It looks so good!! I've never seen anyone dress like this before! Do people in big cities dress like this? You must have brought this outfit from the city!"
Xiao Wang immediately took action, looking on with envy.
So fashionable! She looks like a rich young lady who has returned from studying abroad. And with that big bag, I wonder how much stuff it can hold.
However, Xiao Wang soon realized that something was wrong.
"You sewed this patch on yourself?"
The patch looked familiar, and the black fabric also looked somewhat familiar. A thought flashed through my mind in an instant, and this thought was confirmed when I saw the smile on Jin Shu's lips.
Xiao Wang jumped up instantly.
"Oh dear, did you make these clothes yourself?!"
You bought so much black fabric just to make this, didn't you!
Is there any more? Is there any more? Could I wear one of these?
Jin Shu took out a vest from behind her back and handed it to her.
"I knew it! You definitely wouldn't forget me!"
Xiao Wang couldn't wait to put it on, and whether it was psychological or not, he felt like he looked fashionable.
At this moment, Yu Han, the secretary from the next room, also came out. Her eyes lit up the instant she saw the clothes the two were wearing.
Once there's a first time, there's a second. She wasn't so shy anymore and walked up to him directly and asked him frankly.
"Where did you buy this outfit? How much did it cost? I'd like to buy one too."
Jin Shu asked her.
How much do you think it's worth?
Yu Han thought about it carefully.
"It must cost at least five or six yuan. It's really novel. This is the first time I've ever seen a vest with so many pockets! The embroidered patches on it are also beautiful and exquisite."
Jin Shu nodded, and based on Yu Han's income, she roughly had a price in mind.
"I made this myself. I'll give it to you if you like it."
"You made this too? Really?"
Xiao Wang chimed in from the side.
"Of course it's true, Jin Shu is very capable."
"You're really amazing! How did you come up with this outfit? It's so stylish, and it'll be perfect to wear over a coat when it gets cold."
The loose, all-black design looks cool and stylish, while the floral print adds a touch of interest and prevents it from looking too plain.
"If you like it, that's fine. Here's one more thing."
Jin Shu actually carried two items with her.
Yu Han quickly declined.
"I've already taken advantage of you before, so how can I shamelessly ask for it for nothing this time? You haven't set a price yet, so how about I give you five yuan..."
"No need, you just need to do me a favor."
"What kind of help do you need? Just tell me."
"Put your clothes on and go for a stroll around town with Xiao Wang."
——
Yu Han and Xiao Wang specially wore yellow sweaters recommended by Jin Shu, paired with the most fashionable pencil pants at the time and black vests, walking side by side in the bustling market.
People on the street kept turning around to look. At first glance, they were curious; at second glance, they were envious; and at third glance, they couldn't help but come up and ask.
"Comrades, where did you buy those vests you're wearing?"
Yu Han pretended to be calm and said casually.
"It's at the stall in the market to the north. You must know it. It used to sell lace and fabric patches. Now the stall is called Golden Crane Clothing."
"Oh, I know, I know! She hasn't come in a long time, I thought she stopped selling!"
"They've stopped selling lace and started selling vests now. These vests are really useful, with so many pockets. I don't need to bring my own bag when I go shopping!"
As they spoke, Yu Han and Xiao Wang casually put their hands in their pockets, looking carefree and stylish, exuding an indescribable sense of fashion.
Is there anything else?
"Anyway, they still had some when I bought them. If you want to buy some, go quickly. Their business is booming; they only sell fifty pieces a day."
Upon hearing this, the girl hurriedly headed straight for the northernmost part of the market.
Xiao Wang gave Yu Han a praising look.
"Let's go to the clothing store at the supply and marketing cooperative now."
Everyone who goes there is there to buy clothes, so the advertising effect will definitely be better.
Sure enough, as soon as the two of them finished walking around, someone came up to ask them a question.
The answer was the same.
"Anyway, a lot of people have asked me, so I'm not sure if you can still buy it now."
"How much does it cost? This dress must be very expensive."
"It's not expensive at all, only four yuan! You can wear it in spring and autumn, and with so many pockets, you can hold so much stuff! Plus, all the patterns on it are hand-embroidered by the owner, so each one is different!"
Soon, the three girls who were picking out clothes in the clothing store quietly put down the clothes in their hands and quickly walked out the door.
Even the staff at the supply and marketing cooperative craned their necks to look; if they didn't have to go to work, they would have loved to go and see for themselves.
On the other side, more and more people were gathering in front of Jin Shu's stall.
At first, a few people were picking and choosing, intending to bargain, but as more and more people gathered around, they became impatient, stopped negotiating, picked up the clothes, paid, and left.
There were only fifty items on the stall, and now only forty are left.
Soon, people gathered around the entire stall, and the fifty pieces of clothing were quickly sold out.
