Finally, standing at a traditional clothing store on the corner of the street that was about to go bankrupt, Chu Tian felt as if she were at the door of the labor insurance store again. In short, she felt as if she was being pulled in by some unknown force, and she had to go in...
There was no way, this feeling of attraction appeared more than once or twice. Chu Tian adhered to the principle of "it's better to buy the wrong one than to miss it" and walked in resignedly!
"Girl, what are you doing?"
The owner of the clothing store was a white-haired grandmother who wore reading glasses. She was surprised when she saw Chu Tian walk in. With the development of the times, no one made custom clothes in her shop anymore. She could only make some modifications for people, and most of the customers were elderly people, no young people!
Because young people nowadays will just throw away clothes if they don’t fit, without any need for alterations...
Chu Tian hurriedly greeted her obediently, "Hello, grandma, I, I just want to take a look."
The old lady didn't mind, she smiled and waved her hand, "It's okay, you can look at it as you like."
After saying that, he lowered his head and continued to modify the clothes in his hands.
Chu Tian looked around and saw a lot of cloth hanging on the wall. She pointed at the cloth with small white flowers on a navy blue background and asked, "Grandma, how much is this cloth?"
The old lady raised her head, adjusted her reading glasses, took a closer look, and said with a smile, "That's pure cotton cloth made from our local cotton, 18 yuan per meter. The ones with floral patterns are all priced the same. The solid-colored pure cotton cloth next to it is 16 yuan per meter..."
Perhaps it had been a long time since she spoke to young people, the old lady couldn't stop talking. She put down the needle and thread in her hands, stood up unsteadily, walked to Chu Tian, introduced everything one by one, and finally said.
"In the 1960s and 1970s, if a girl or young wife had a dress made of floral fabric, her relatives and neighbors would be envious..."
"But, people nowadays don't care about it anymore..."
Chu Tian thought for a moment and said, "Grandma, how much of this cloth do you have in stock?"
The old lady was stunned. "What?"
Chu Tian smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm studying fashion design. I recently wanted to make a batch of clothes that imitate those from the 1970s and 1980s. Unfortunately, I haven't found the fabric I like. I always feel that the fabrics available nowadays are not suitable for making clothes from those times."
Chu Tian lied again, but she couldn't find an excuse. She couldn't say it was a donation to impoverished areas, could she? People believed you when you donated food, clothing, and supplies, but if you donated cloth, who would believe you?
The old lady reacted and introduced Chu Tian with a smile, "Girl, then you are right to choose my family..."
In the end, Chu Tian not only bought floral fabrics of various colors, but also bought a lot of solid colors, as well as a lot of fabrics with old-fashioned retro patterns suitable for making bed sheets and quilt covers!
Grandma is very kind and helped me cut the cloth...
After going through the motions a few times, Chu Tian looked at the time and found that the time agreed upon with the various merchants for door-to-door delivery was almost up. Chu Tian went home obediently and waited without continuing shopping!
While waiting, she was not idle. She opened a group APP and ordered some takeout that she had never seen in the snack street. Because the quantity was huge, each restaurant called her to confirm repeatedly after Chu Tian placed the order to see if she had ordered something wrong. Only after Chu Tian's repeated confirmation and assurance did they complete the order.
After signing for all the takeout orders, Chu Tian looked at the space that was almost full and nodded with satisfaction. She also put the various newly bought pots, pans, and utensils that had not been unpacked into the space, as well as a lot of cotton bedding that she had bought for charity in the early years!
After finishing everything, Chu Tian took a hot bath and lay comfortably on the bed. Before she closed her eyes, she was still thinking that tomorrow would be the last day. She would eat Japanese food for lunch and hot pot for dinner, and spend the last day of the Heian period...
