Chapter 12 Making Clothes



When Hou Guifang returned after finishing her business, Sheng Qian told Hou Guifang about needing to remove the gauze from Long Yunting's head.

Hou Guifang frowned slightly and said, "The doctor told us to keep the head injury immobilized for as long as possible, and to untie it after the person wakes up."

What if he doesn't wake up? You can keep him tied up for the rest of your life.

Of course, this cannot be said.

"The doctor didn't know he'd been unconscious for so long. If we go back to the capital to find another doctor, they'll definitely untie him. Keeping him bound day and night is just making things worse; maybe he hasn't woken up because he's been so tightly bound." This confinement has caused problems.

Hou Guifang said, "I'll call home again tomorrow and tell them to go to the Beijing hospital to inquire."

Sheng Qian didn't say anything more after hearing this.

He said goodbye to Hou Guifang and went out to wander around the town.

Last time she came, she didn't leave properly.

The stalls in the town were all quite rudimentary.

A shelf made of a few wooden planks held glass jars containing a limited variety of loose goods.

Before it got dark, Sheng Qian went into a small clothing store.

It's called a small shop, but it's really just a simple tiled house with two bamboo poles hanging from it, with plain-colored winter floral jackets hanging on them.

Surprisingly, there was also a particularly eye-catching military overcoat.

Sheng Qian stood in front of the door looking around. The shop owner, who was sitting inside, saw her staring intently. Although he was a little unhappy, he still smiled and asked, "Little girl, what kind of clothes do you want to buy?"

Sheng Qian looks thin and malnourished now, so she can't be considered very pretty.

When the boss saw her like this, he thought she was a poor kid who had come to have some fun.

"Boss, I'd like to see your fabrics."

The boss gave Sheng Qian a suspicious look, looking her up and down.

Sheng Qian knew that the other party did not believe that she had the money to buy the fabric, so she added, "If you have the fabric I want here, I will come often in the future."

This means she has money.

The shopkeeper's smile widened even more. "Come on, I have several kinds of fabric here, pink ones, and blue ones with floral patterns..."

There are only a few styles available.

There are also several colors.

Sheng Qian pointed to the gray-blue fabric and readily ordered several bolts.

She also asked for several bolts of other fabrics. Sheng Qian paid and took the fabrics back.

At this time, some places no longer required cloth coupons, which is why Sheng Qian was able to get the money to buy cloth so easily.

Hou Guifang was surprised to see Sheng Qian carrying back so much fabric and asked, "Xiao Qian, what are you doing buying so much fabric?"

Upon seeing what Sheng Qian was wearing, he immediately understood.

"It was my oversight. I should have bought you more clothes. Auntie will take you shopping for clothes tomorrow morning."

“I can go by myself,” Sheng Qian said. “Didn’t you give me a thousand yuan? I can buy whatever I want to wear, so you don’t need to worry about it. I’ve been thinking about it a lot today, and if you want to do business, you have to have a starting point.”

"Is it related to your buying of fabric?" Hou Guifang asked, pointing to the fabric she had put down.

Sheng Qian nodded: "I plan to work in design. Auntie, I think your figure and temperament are very good. Could you please be my model for a while?"

"How can I be a model?"

“Auntie, your temperament is definitely better than those Hong Kong stars!” Sheng Qian said.

Hou Guifang was both amused and exasperated by Sheng Qian's decisive manner. "I can be your model, but can you make clothes? Are you trying to tinker with clothing?"

“Yes, I want to make clothes. Would you be willing to support me, Auntie?” Sheng Qian asked.

Hou Guifang really didn't want to discourage Sheng Qian.

In Wutong Village, Sheng Qian didn't even have a television set. She hadn't studied anything related to tailoring, and knowing a few characters didn't mean she could be a tailor or designer.

Hou Guifang felt that Sheng Qian was being reckless and was joking with her.

Some rural women can still make simple clothes if they have a sewing machine.

But what Shengqian wants to do is sell clothes, not wear them herself; these are two different concepts.

but.

Hou Guifang didn't intend to say anything hurtful, thinking that once Sheng Qian ran into trouble, she would realize that making clothes wasn't as easy as she had imagined.

With her knowledge of so many diverse and ingenious methods from later generations, and her own intelligence, Sheng Qian believed she could establish a brand in this world.

With Hou Guifang as a ready-made bridge, Sheng Qian can also benefit from it to some extent.

Once I make a name for myself in the industry, I believe it won't be long before I'm at the forefront.

"Then you're missing a sewing machine, scissors, various kinds of thread, etc..." Hou Guifang, being from the capital, knew quite a bit.

"I'll go to the market and find a second-hand sewing machine," Sheng Qian said, knowing that she only had this much money and might have to borrow some more.

Sheng Qian sighed inwardly. Her space used to have everything, but now it was all gone for no reason.

You can't put money in there to generate more.

Even if it can be regenerated, it will still be money from the same serial number. Although it's not fake, it's no different from counterfeit money.

Sheng Qian has already looked around in town, and will go buy the remaining items when the shops open tomorrow.

That evening, Sheng Qian and Hou Guifang prepared two simple dishes and gave Long Yunting medication to maintain his physical function, as this was the only way to sustain him in his condition.

It's fortunate that the Long family is wealthy; otherwise, with his injuries, they simply wouldn't be able to afford it.

The next day, Hou Guifang went out with Sheng Qian again and bought a new sewing machine at a store. Sheng Qian also bought two blue floral-patterned jackets.

I bought scissors and all sorts of random threads.

Hou Guifang was worried about Long Yunting being home alone, so she bought some things and rushed home.

The neighbors on both sides knew about their family situation and would occasionally glance at them.
