Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Sister Yang, who had been hesitating and waiting for Jianshu to change his mind, had to reluctantly take back the Dacron dress and instead took down another dress that Jianshu liked.
She almost sold the dress that she had been trying to sell for many days, but she didn't expect that it would not be sold when the time came.
Of course, she wanted to sell the dress not because she had traveled through time or because she wanted to get a commission, as Jianshu had said. Instead, she made a bet with someone to see if she could sell the dress within two weeks.
Her friends bet that she couldn't do it, and she bet that she could. The stakes were neither big nor small. The loser would treat the winner to a meal at a state-owned restaurant.
In a state-owned restaurant, two people can just save a few cents on a meal, but this is a treat, so one or two dollars have to be spent, so she has to work hard.
Although she has a good salary, she would rather be treated than to spend two dollars.
So she has been recommending this dress for the past half month. At the beginning, she was very confident. After all, there are many rich people in Beijing, and a dress that does not require cloth coupons can still be sold.
But after a few days she found out that it was not the case at all. This Dacron fabric came from Guangzhou and it was the first time she had seen it in Beijing.
People have limited trust in this kind of fabric, and coupled with the high price of 30 yuan, it is too expensive for most families even without cloth coupons and they will not even consider it.
As for those who can afford it, they are reluctant to buy it for various reasons. After all, it is also a dress, but the price of this one is several times that of other dresses made of other fabrics.
Gu Mingjing was the person she had discovered most likely to make the purchase these days. Just by looking at his military uniform, she knew that his salary must be high.
If a person comes to look at women's clothing, it is most likely to be a gift to his or her partner, which is even better, because he or she will definitely be willing to spend money on it.
That's why Gu Mingjing came here today and directly chose that one. It was all thanks to Sister Yang's enthusiastic recommendations over the past few days.
Of course, Gu Mingjing wasn't completely fooled by Sister Yang, and he was genuinely pleased with the dress. First, it was expensive. If it was so expensive, it had to be the best, otherwise why wouldn't other clothes be more expensive? Secondly, the design was beautiful, and he fell in love with it immediately. Finally, it was also partly because Sister Yang was such a boaster, constantly saying that he and his partner must have a great relationship and would be happily married in the future. So, happily listening to her, Gu Mingjing chose this dress.
As for the price? He didn't even ask. He had the money anyway and could afford it.
"Here, take it!" Sister Yang handed the dress to Jianshu.
Ever since she'd given up hope of selling the product, her enthusiasm had suddenly waned. She wasn't exactly cold to the two men; after all, one was in uniform and the other was from the Finance Department. She wouldn't be so foolish as to offend them, but her attitude was inevitably a bit perfunctory.
Jianshu didn't care. As long as the attitude wasn't bad, she didn't mind. Sometimes she would find it difficult to cope with excessive enthusiasm, so it was better to be a little cold.
After taking the dress, Jian Shu, who had no place to try it on, held it in front of her chest, then turned to Gu Mingjing and asked, "How is it? Does it look good?"
After saying that, she turned around, and then realized that he wasn't wearing anything, so what was the point of turning around? Could he still see the effect on the back?
However, she remained expressionless, as if there was nothing wrong with her previous behavior, and looked at Gu Mingjing with anticipation.
The dress that Jianshu chose is just right for wearing now, but in two months, when the weather gets hotter, it will no longer be suitable.
The skirt is a long-sleeved design, and the upper body is somewhat similar to the style of a shirt. It has a collar, a few buttons on the chest, and a detachable belt with a metal buckle at the waist. The skirt is mid-calf length. The overall style is simple and generous, and it will not be outdated in later generations.
She prefers this simple dress to those with large and small floral patterns.
It’s not that she has any objection to floral dresses, there are many beautiful floral dresses, but floral dresses are particularly picky about the pattern and style, and similarly, color matching is extremely important.
If any one of these three is missing, the floral dress will easily become very "rustic" and tacky.
Unfortunately, most of the floral dresses nowadays are like this, which makes Jianshu have no desire to buy them.
"It looks good!" Hearing Jian Shu's question, Gu Mingjing nodded vigorously in affirmation. His eyes were sincere, and it was clear that he was telling the truth.
"Okay, I'll take this one." Jianshu said decisively.
She is very happy to buy things. If she is satisfied with the product and the price is not outrageous, she will place the order directly.
Gu Mingjing said, "Okay, Shushu, take a look at a few more and pay for them together." One dress is still too few, so you have to buy at least three or five.
This was something that had been agreed upon before, and Jianshu did not go back on his word and picked it up again.
Gu Mingjing also came over and helped in choosing.
Finally, Jianshu chose a shirt and a pair of trousers, and Gu Mingjing chose a Lenin suit for Jianshu.
"Okay, that's all, sister. Please count them for me, please." Jianshu handed all the clothes to Sister Yang and said politely.
"Okay." Sister Yang's mood was much better now, and her attitude became enthusiastic again.
While Sister Yang was settling the bill, Gu Mingjing whispered in Jianshu's ear, "You don't like anything else?"
According to him, he wanted to buy ten or eight items for Jianshu, but now he only has four items in total.
Hearing what he said, Jian Shu knew he wasn't done buying more. She grabbed his clothes and said, "Alright, four pieces is enough. Buying more would be excessive. We still have a lot of clothes at home. We can wear them for two weeks without repeating anything. Besides, if you really want new clothes, can't I make them myself? I make them economically and they look good."
"Okay then, let's go buy some fabric later?" Gu Mingjing had a new idea.
Shushu likes to make her own clothes, so he bought her more fabric.
"Why do you believe everything you hear?" Jian Shu said helplessly.
I haven't paid for the clothes yet, but I'm thinking about buying fabric?
"We go shopping, just to buy things." Gu Mingjing said honestly. He brought some books out today, wasn't it because he wanted to spend money on her?
Jian Shu glanced at him and said resignedly, "It's up to you." Do whatever you want. She could stop him for a while, but not forever. So let him do whatever he wants.
Just buy it. After that, she made two sets of clothes for him as a way of returning the favor.
Jianshu has always believed that feelings should be mutual and not one-sided.
Gu Mingjing took her out shopping and spent money, so she had to show some appreciation. It was impossible to just return the money; that would hurt his feelings and wouldn't make him happy.
After thinking for a long time, Jianshu finally decided to make two pieces of clothing for him as a gift in return.
