Su Qinghu smiled, turned around, and waved, "Come on, go somewhere with me."
Yuan Hang and Sister Li came over quickly, nodded to the girl, and were led into an alley by her.
The alley is neither wide nor too long, but at a glance, tailoring businesses dominate.
As if she was afraid that Su Qinghu would be taken away by another tailor shop, the girl quickened her pace and said she would make her the spring tea she had left for her.
The girl must have never done such a thing before, and her face turned red.
When they entered the tailor shop, the girl's aunt hadn't said anything yet, but the little girl told her purpose first, then asked her aunt to bring out some tea, and finally said something in the soft Wu dialect that the girl didn't understand.
Su Qinghu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yuan Hang subtly. Seeing Yuan Hang shrugged, he knew that he didn't understand either.
"Are you looking to buy a dress?" The girl's aunt asked her to make tea while she entertained Su Qinghu. "That dress is very suitable for a young lady with fair skin and beautiful looks like you."
This girl's aunt is very elegant, and her every move is graceful and gentle. Su Qinghu thought for a moment and asked, "How many colors does this style of skirt come in?"
"One is the color you see." She looked at Su Qinghu's fair and slender neck, and her heart moved. "But I also have a dark green skirt here, which is ten centimeters above the ankle."
As she spoke, she had already taken out a set of long skirts and half-length skirts. "Don't worry about the sizes of these clothes. I've been in this business for almost twenty years, and I don't have much difference in sizes, big, medium, or small..."
Su Qinghu had heard about how southerners did business before, and today, after experiencing it personally, he felt that it was as expected.
This girl's aunt can see something very well. She treats small businesses with the same meticulousness as big businesses, and even gives you a second choice in addition to the first choice.
Su Qinghu picked it up, looked at the details, felt the texture in her hands, and said directly, "How many long skirts and half skirts do you have? If I want both, what's your price?"
"Fifty long skirts, one hundred half-skirts." When it came to the number of pieces, the girl's aunt probably didn't even notice her helplessness and bitterness. When she heard Su Qinghu said she wanted them all, she didn't show much surprise. "Because of the fabric and other costs, they're a bit expensive..."
"You tell me the price." Su Qinghu smiled. "I won't be here for long. I want to make this a quick decision."
The girl's aunt looked at Su Qinghu thoughtfully.
Su Qinghu: "I really wanted it, so I didn't beat around the bush and asked the price directly."
The girl's aunt frowned and emphasized again, "It's really expensive. The cost is almost the same as a men's suit."
Sister Li raised her eyebrows in surprise, and even Yuan Hang couldn't help but look at the long skirt and the half-skirt.
Su Qinghu just looked at her and smiled without saying anything.
This girl's aunt is interesting. She has been hinting to her that the clothes are very expensive and can't be sold much cheaper. Is she trying to make her hesitate when bargaining later?
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming tense, the girl made some tea and served it to Sister Li and Yuan Hang, then looked at Su Qinghu and smiled as she invited her to drink tea.
"Let's not drink tea yet." Su Qinghu glanced at the old pendulum clock on the wall. "There's still an hour until twelve o'clock. We have booked a restaurant to eat."
Su Qinghu is what I really want now, but if you ask for too much, then I can give it up.
This feeling was conveyed vaguely, making the girl and her aunt cautious. "Do you want them all?"
If you want all of them, you can get the wholesale price in the clothing wholesale market.
Su Qinghu nodded with a smile, "I want both."
"My cloth is two yuan and eighty cents per meter." The girl's aunt gave Su Qinghu a heads-up first. After she said that, she saw that Su Qinghu's expression didn't change, and she began to feel uneasy.
"Each long skirt is almost two meters long," she added.
Su Qinghu: "I really want it. Just tell me the price. If it's acceptable to you, I won't bargain. But if it exceeds my expectations, I will definitely bargain with you."
At this point, Su Qinghu smiled and said, "If the bargaining fails, then consider it as a lesson learned today."
The girl's aunt still had a smile on her face, and her little finger was obviously curled up.
What she meant was that if the bargaining failed, the deal would be over?
Thinking of the recent tight economy and the arguments she'd had with her husband over wanting to buy a house, she gritted her teeth and said, "A long skirt is ten dollars, a half-length skirt is seven!"
After she quoted the price, she looked straight at Su Qinghu.
Su Qinghu smiled. These clothes were very exquisite and should be worth the money, but business was business after all, and he couldn't just give her whatever she wanted.
Besides, even though she quoted the price with such pain, there was still a lot of room for profit.
"Since you've already quoted a price, I'll bargain with you." Su Qinghu said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. I have to have a good reason to bargain with you, right?"
"You should be able to tell from our accents that we're not from the south. We need to check in your clothes," Su Qinghu said. "Well, let me tell you my price: 8.80 for a long skirt and 5.80 for a half-length skirt. If you're willing, we'll make a deal."
The woman was stunned. "You're bargaining too hard, aren't you?"
Su Qinghu smiled and said, "Do you think this price is okay?"
"No, no, no, how can you bargain like that?" The girl's aunt waved her hand. "It's like a wholesale clothing market. Their clothes are mass-produced, and the sizes aren't very precise. With clothes like mine, there's no need to worry about the size. Besides, if you really want to know, they're all custom-made."
"I know what you're talking about, and I understand your feelings. But when it comes to business, there's always a difference between selling one piece at a time and selling in batches." Su Qinghu said with a smile, "Isn't wholesale just like that?"
The woman waved her hand. "No, no, this price is too low. If you want it, you have to pay more."
"This is my psychological price," Su Qinghu said, "or perhaps I should explain it more clearly, this is the highest price I have in mind."
"But I made all these clothes myself, sourced the fabrics and accessories myself. It's really hard to explain. I went through the motions, communicating with each other, and making minute changes. I've really done it to the utmost." The woman's aunt said, "If you're really serious about it, I think we can raise the price a little bit, so that both parties are satisfied. What do you think?"
Su Qinghu shook his head. "You should have a good idea of whether my price is sincere or not."
