After thinking for a long time, Yan Xiaonan finally came up with an idea: have Cuihua make a few high-end clothes to hang inside, just for viewing and not for sale. The dresses, modified cheongsams, swallowtail coats, and Tang suits from later generations are all relatively high-end. Draw them yourself and show them to Cuihua.
Seeing the pleasing clothing design drawings on the white paper, Cuihua was excited. Without saying a word, she rushed into the west wing to find fabric. But after searching and searching, she only found a piece of white woolen fabric, which Nannan had bought for her to make a coat.
Upon learning this, Sheng Lijuan was overjoyed. She told Cuihua to wait a moment and went to the second courtyard to retrieve a large suitcase. When she opened it, she found that the wealthy family had some fine things, including high-end fabrics such as silk and satin. These were originally intended as dowry for Chen'er, but Chen'er dared not take them out.
Yan Xiaonan offered to pay, but Sheng Lijuan refused, saying it was a gift to celebrate the opening of the clothing store. Yan Xiaonan didn't stand on ceremony and accepted it generously. Ye Chen'er covered her mouth and laughed. The things that were originally lying in the closet sleeping were now coming in handy.
For the sake of this shop, Cuihua started sewing clothes from dawn till dusk. Fortunately, she was originally skillful and quick-witted. She kept studying the patterns and finally made these clothes. The sizes were all based on Nannan and Chen'er's sizes.
The clothes were hung in the clothing store, and when the lights were turned on, wow, they were so eye-catching! Yan Xiaonan was very satisfied. The black satin dress, the red satin Tang suit, the purple silk long skirt, and the white woolen coat—these novel clothes instantly elevated the entire store several levels.
Yan Xiaoqiang looked at his wife with admiration, wondering what kind of incredible luck he had. He had a daughter who was like a fairy and a wife who was also very capable. He was so happy!
Yan Xiaonan was worried that these clothes would be bought by someone else, so she set a high price for them all. The wool coat was the cheapest, priced at 2,888 yuan, while the satin dress was the most expensive, priced at 8,888 yuan.
Sheng Lijuan had known all along that Cuihua was skilled, but she hadn't expected her to be this good. No wonder her strict mother-in-law wanted to take Cuihua as her apprentice; her mother-in-law had a really good eye.
Grandma Yan was visiting the clothing store for the first time. Looking at the exquisite clothing store, she proudly straightened her slightly hunched back. This was her little fairy's business. How wonderful!
Yan Aidang arrived carrying a plaque with five large red characters engraved on a gold background: "Yan Family Clothing Store".
Upon seeing these five large characters, Grandma Yan and Yan Xiaoqiang suddenly remembered the days when Nan Nan was in a coma, when the family ran out of food, and the place where they accompanied their mother to Mushroom Mountain to fetch food was called Yan Family Cave.
Both of their eyes reddened at the same time. Grandma Yan grabbed Yan Xiaonan's hand and said, "My dear baby, you are my life."
Yan Xiaonan didn't know why her grandmother was suddenly so upset, and her nose tingled with emotion: "Grandma, you are my life too."
Sheng Lijuan was moved. If her own mother were still alive, she would probably speak to her like that.
Ye Chenming has taken leave. Everyone is very curious that Ye Chenming, who cherishes time so much, has taken leave, but Ye Huili is very comforting.
In a suburb of Shanghai, there was a rather large, dilapidated bungalow. A young man went inside and walked to the innermost room. He touched and fiddled with everything, and the furniture on the wall slowly opened up to reveal a staircase leading down to a basement.
Opening the basement door, the young man turned on his flashlight and, relying on his memory, found what he was looking for. A satisfied smile appeared on his handsome face. Indeed, the young man was Ye Chenming.
After receiving the gifts, Ye Chenming put everything back in its place and drove away in a Jeep. He needed to arrive before Nan Nan's clothing store opened to give the gifts to Yan Xiaonan.
Sunday, the auspicious day designated by Grandma Yan, is the opening day of Yan's Clothing Store. Because of the extensive advertising done beforehand, everyone knows that the clothing store near the school gate is opening today, so the store entrance is packed with people waiting for the doors to open.
The store sells the most popular jeans, batwing shirts, stirrup pants, jackets, and other clothing items on the street right now. On opening day, you can get a 5% discount on purchases over 100 yuan, but you can't combine orders.
Those who wanted to buy initially thought that the discount was just for show; who would spend 100 yuan on clothes? They couldn't make ends meet, and they couldn't even group buy. But there were also some clever people who figured that since group buying wasn't allowed openly, they could secretly group buy and save 5 yuan. Saving a little could cover a month's worth of lunch money.
Ye Chen'er gave a thumbs up. "Brilliant! This kind of promotion seems to make Yan Xiaonan lose out, but in reality, it increases purchasing power. More sales mean more money. What a shrewd businessman!"
When the auspicious hour arrived, firecrackers crackled. Yan Xiaonan opened the door of the clothing store. Ye Chenming, Xinan, Yan Xiaoqiang, Yan Aidang, and several others stood at the door to maintain order. Following Yan Xiaonan's instructions, they lined up to enter. The first batch of twenty people were let in, then ten people left before another ten were let in.
Upon hearing that there would be a queue, everyone immediately scrambled for the best spots. In this day and age, queuing for everything is nothing new, so they were used to it. However, they were anxious, wondering if the store had enough stock and hoping that there would still be some left when it was their turn.
Everyone who entered gaped, their eyes immediately drawn to the dazzling clothes illuminated by the spotlights. What kind of clothes are these? Why don't they have shoulders? This dress is so beautiful! Would I become a fairy if I wore it?
This coat is red, I think it's for men. I've never seen a man wear red before. This coat is nice, but why is it white? It gets dirty so easily, how can anyone wear it?
Oh my god, am I seeing things? How much is this dress? Five thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight! Good heavens, this dress costs eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight? Did the shopkeeper write the wrong number? This dress is worth several houses!
"Fool, it's obviously not for sale at these prices," the smart person muttered to himself, then turned and went to the middle rack to find the clothes he wanted: jeans were 25, stirrups were 15, batwing shirts were 30, jackets were 120, and suits were 180.
"Boss, I want four pairs of jeans."
"Boss, I want eight pairs of jeans."
"I want twenty pairs of footed trousers."
"I want four batwing shirts, two pairs of jeans, and two pairs of stirrup pants."
Okay, they're all aiming for the hundred-yuan mark, Yan Xiaonan smiled like a little fox.
Sheng Lijuan stood behind the counter collecting payments, Xue Ying helped count the items, Cuihua and Ye Chen'er entertained the guests, and Yan Xiaonan kept replenishing the stock. Every time she ran into the warehouse, Yan Xiaonan would glance at the treasure on the table.
