After strolling around outside, Ye Jiaying returned to the Zheng family.
The next day, he took Wu Manman to the Jinxiu Cheongsam Shop again with the marked clothes for her to try on.
There were still no customers in the store today, but the boss who received her yesterday was in much better overall condition.
Ye Jiaying handed the clothes marked by Wu Manman to the boss, looked around the store, and asked curiously.
"Boss, are you usually the only one at home?"
The store is quite large, but she was the only one there from yesterday to today.
Could it be that the tailor is in the backyard or somewhere else?
She didn't hear anyone else's voice either.
The boss paused while writing the order for her and looked up at Ye Jiaying.
"It's inconvenient to say, forget it. I'm just asking out of curiosity."
Ye Jiaying explained.
She just asked out of curiosity.
"Why is it inconvenient to say?"
The boss continued to write the order with his head down.
"To be honest with you, I'm the only one in the store right now, so I told you yesterday that the cycle is slow."
"Then you're too busy?"
Ye Jiaying asked politely.
In fact, what she wanted to say was that only one person could make so many clothes, could that support their life?
She customized three sets of clothes for more than 170 yuan but less than 200 yuan.
It sounds like a lot in this day and age, but she has to work for more than three months and maintain the entire store, so she doesn't make much money at all.
"Business is slow right now, so I can handle it alone. Here's the list for you. Show it when you come to pick up the clothes."
The boss replied casually and handed her the written form.
Ye Jiaying took the list and put it in her bag.
After hearing what the boss said, she didn't ask any more questions, so she said goodbye to him and left the store.
She went straight to the mall from the store yesterday. Today she had nothing to do and it was still early, so she decided to stroll around the alley to see if there were any other shops.
After walking only two hundred meters, she saw a newly renovated store.
There are fresh flower baskets outside the store, and you can tell it’s a new store at a glance.
She took a curious look and saw that the store was called Jinxiuyuan.
The plaque and the calligraphy are exactly the same as the Jinxiu one at Wu Manman’s grandmother’s house, except for one more word.
When she reached the door, she took a look inside and found that it was also a cheongsam shop.
Out of curiosity, she walked in.
The layout of the shop inside is not much different from that of Wu Manman’s grandmother’s house, but the styles are younger and bolder.
"Take a look at whichever one you like, and we can modify it according to your requirements."
A curly-haired woman of about twenty-four or twenty-five came forward.
She looked Ye Jiaying up and down and pointed at a red sleeveless cheongsam with a high slit.
"Do you like this style? If you want a higher slit, we can make it."
The slit of the cheongsam she was referring to was already very high.
The cheongsams in Wu Manman’s grandmother’s shop were only slit to the knees, but the one she was referring to was slit all the way to the thighs.
It’s so high that half of the butt is exposed.
She looked at the woman in surprise.
"I just came from the cheongsam shop over there. The slits there don't seem to be this high."
"The owner of that shop is very old-fashioned. He insists on the rules of making cheongsams. People don't like those rules anymore."
"Don't go to their place. The fabric we have is similar to hers. We can make it any height you want. Or if you want the collar to be lower, we can make it lower."
The curly-haired woman seemed a little disdainful when she spoke of Wu Manman's grandmother.
"Do you know the owner of that shop?"
It sounds contradictory.
The curly-haired woman observed Ye Jiaying's expression, and seeing that she was just curious, she smiled and said.
"Yes, I learned how to make cheongsams from her, but she was too rigid and unwilling to make changes according to customer requests, so I opened my own shop."
