When the salesperson heard Jiang Yanqing's words, his face panicked, he cleared his throat and said, "What are you talking about, little girl?"
A woman selling fabrics nearby noticed something was wrong, so she came out from her counter, ran over, and said with a friendly smile, "Oh, little girl, don't be offended. She just had some family matters today and she's not in a good mood."
Then he turned to the woman at the counter and said, "Hongxia, take the clothes down and show them to this girl. Clothes are hung here for people to see."
The woman was tactful. She took off the clothes and was about to hand them to Jiang Yanqing. Jiang Yanqing snorted coldly and did not take it.
He turned to the woman who was trying to persuade him and said, "I don't want it. I want to buy cloth."
The salesperson will wait until he has time to teach her a lesson. Now he has no other options and can't do anything.
The woman glanced at Hongxia and enthusiastically pulled Jiang Yanqing to her side to look at the fabrics. In the end, Jiang Yanqing chose a piece of cotton cloth with a white background and red flowers, and a piece of crimson blue.
He picked out a piece of khaki corduroy fabric and spent all the fabric coupons he had.
However, the prices of this era were really cheap for Jiang Yanqing, who came from later generations.
Three large pieces of cloth cost less than three dollars. Although I had to pay for cloth coupons, the cloth coupons were free anyway.
Before leaving, Jiang Yanqing looked at the woman and asked, "Sister, is there a tailor shop nearby?"
The woman nodded and replied enthusiastically, "Yes, yes, there's an Ahua tailor shop right across the street. They have excellent craftsmanship!"
Jiang Yanqing thanked him politely, put away the wrapped cloth, and went downstairs.
There was a wide variety of daily necessities downstairs. Jiang Yanqing thought it would be troublesome to carry back the items if she bought too much, so she decided to go out and find a car.
You might as well take the cloth to a tailor shop. They should have ready-made clothes for sale, and they are cheaper than the supply and marketing cooperative.
After a round, Jiang Yanqing found Ahua's tailor shop with the cloth. The shop was not big, only about 20 square meters.
There was a sewing machine at the door, and a woman in a blue coat was busy working on it.
Jiang Yanqing walked closer and said softly, "Hello!"
The woman who had buried her head raised her head, and unexpectedly, she saw a fair and pretty young woman, who looked no more than thirty years old.
The woman raised her head, glanced at Jiang Yanqing, and said, "What's the matter? Girl, what's the matter?"
This pure Northeastern accent made Jiang Yanqing's face twitch slightly. She thought she was a gentle and beautiful lady.
Perhaps because Jiang Yanqing looked a little dazed, the woman simply stood up, glanced at the cloth in Jiang Yanqing's hand, and said, "Do you want to make clothes?"
Jiang Yanqing nodded and asked, "Yes, I want to make clothes. How much do you charge?"
The woman took the cloth from Jiang Yanqing's hand, opened it, and replied, "The shirt is fifty cents, the pants are seventy cents, and the jacket is the same."
It’s okay, Jiang Yanqing thought it wasn’t expensive. She looked at the clothes hanging on the wall of the tailor shop and found that the styles were quite ordinary.
Then he asked, "Sister, are those clothes on the wall for sale?"
The woman nodded. "Of course not. Why would I just hang it up if I'm not going to sell it?"
Jiang Yanqing pointed to a gray spring coat and said, "How much is this?"
The woman looked back and asked, "Do you have any cloth coupons?"
Jiang Yanqing shook her head, saying that she had just used up all the money at the supply and marketing cooperative.
The woman continued, "Six dollars and a half, polyester material, durable."
The price was not high. Jiang Yanqing also picked out a pair of black cotton trousers and two pairs of black cloth shoes, which cost another eight dollars in total.
After these things were packed, the woman asked Jiang Yanqing what she planned to do with the fabric.
Jiang Yanqing thought about it and realized that it was almost April now, so she could make another set of spring clothes and then another set of summer clothes.
But looking at the booklet the woman took out, Jiang Yanqing didn't like the current styles. After thinking for a while, she said, "Sister, do you have a pen and paper? I'll draw a picture for you and you can follow it, okay?"
In her previous life, Jiang Yanqing opened two women's clothing stores. She was an expert in design and fabric selection, so she was willing to spend some time on clothing.
The woman brought a pen and paper, and Jiang Yanqing quickly drew a pair of casual straight-leg pants with a tapered design at the bottom, which was not as baggy as the ones worn nowadays.
I also drew a puff short-sleeved shirt with a white background and red flowers, which is playful and cute.
He handed the blueprint to the woman, who took it, looked at it, and said readily, "Okay, we can do it."
Jiang Yanqing smiled and finally measured the size. The blue fabric could be made into two pairs of trousers, the khaki fabric could be made into a spring dress, and the fabric with white background and red flowers could be made into a short-sleeved and a long-sleeved shirt.
Combined with the clothes I have already bought, it is enough to wear for the time being.
After paying the money and taking the clothes and receipt, Jiang Yanqing left Ahua's tailor shop. She had just asked Sister Ahua and found out that there was a tricycle soliciting customers at the end of the street.
Sister Ahua is the woman in the tailor shop and also the proprietress. She gets along well with Jiang Yanqing, and in the end Jiang Yanqing just calls her Sister Ahua.
At this time, Jiang Yanqing didn't know that she had a deep connection with Sister Ahua, and she would be her good friend and partner in the future!
