"Yes, ma'am!"
The lady left and returned to the carriage first.
The maid Qing'er deliberately slowed down her pace and stopped in front of Shu Jiaying. She smiled smugly and said, "Humph, we are the only ones who can buy the cloth here. You can't!"
Then she left with a smile.
“…”
Faced with such an idiotic woman, Shu Jiaying certainly wouldn't really care. Since she couldn't buy clothes in this store, she had to go to the next store to buy them.
Who would have thought that the boss lady would hold Shu Jiaying back.
Shu Jiaying took them to a corner, and then she whispered, "Thank you, girl. You helped me make such a big deal. I really don't know how to thank you..."
"It's nothing. There are so many stupid people with a lot of money these days."
“…”
The silk shop owner was stunned for a moment. She didn't quite understand what Shu Jiaying meant. She continued, "Although Madam Zhuang bought all the cloth in our shop, if you don't mind, I made a few sets of ready-made clothes when I was free. I think the proportions of your figure should be quite suitable. How about I sell them to you at the cost price?"
What Shu Jiaying needed at the moment was really a few sets of ready-made clothes, so she nodded.
"Okay, wait for me here, don't go away!"
"It's okay, go ahead and do your work."
After watching the lady's coachman move all the cloths away, the proprietress took Shu Jiaying to the inner hall and placed five brand new sets of clothes in front of Shu Jiaying.
"Girl, what do you think of the styles of these clothes?"
After touching the fabric of the clothes, I found that they were all made of pure cotton, so they should be quite comfortable to wear. What's more, the proprietress made the styles relatively loose, so even if Shu Jiaying went up the mountain to collect herbs, she would not feel inconvenient.
Shu Jiaying nodded immediately.
"I'm quite satisfied with the clothes, but I wonder what price range the boss is selling them at?"
"Since it's the cost price, I won't charge you too much. Girl, how about three hundred taels for five sets of clothes?"
"Three hundred taels?"
By this calculation, a set of clothes only costs sixty taels. Just now, Shu Jiaying saw that the cloth on the counter was priced at thirty taels per foot of cotton cloth. Based on the fact that more than two feet of cloth can make a set of clothes, it can be seen that the boss lady did not sell her at a high price.
Shu Jiaying happily took out copper coins from her purse, counted out three hundred, and handed them to the proprietress.
"Boss, do you think the number is correct?"
The proprietress was watching Shu Jiaying counting the money, and she quickly replied with a smile.
"The number is right, girl. Let me help you pack your clothes."
"Thank you."
Watching the proprietress expertly fold the clothes and wrap them up in paper, Shu Jiaying thought for a moment and then asked, "Boss, I see these clothes are custom-made. Why are you suddenly selling them all to me?"
Upon hearing this, the proprietress immediately stopped what she was doing and looked at Shu Jiaying in a daze.
Faced with such an expression, Shu Jiaying was almost frightened. She imagined some plots in her mind and asked excitedly, "Boss...could it be that the person who bought these clothes died in an accident, and you sold them to me because no one came to pick them up?"
The proprietress immediately spat, "Bah! My niece is still alive and well, how could she have died? It's just that her unscrupulous father sold her to an old man who was about to die. I was so angry that I kept the clothes until now.
I knew that if I gave the clothes to my older brother, he, who was a big gambler, would pawn them in a pawn shop, which would be a real waste of such good clothes."
