What Qin Huairu said was indeed correct. Their tailor shop used to sell clothes to princes.
The fabrics used are also those precious satin fabrics.
But in this era, due to social trends and cost issues, few people use fabrics.
Only those official wives can afford it, and even if they buy it, they usually don't spread it openly and openly, and they only wear it secretly at home on weekdays.
Chen Xueru looked at Qin Huairu and asked curiously: "Qin Huairu, you just said that your parents-in-law are getting married this time.
You are already in your thirties now. Your parents-in-law must be at least in their fifties, right?
People of her age usually wear clothes made of this kind of soap blue fabric."
Hearing this, Qin Huairu was a little unhappy, rolled her eyes and said: "Chen Xueru. It is indeed my parents-in-law who are getting married this time, but who told you, not to make clothes for my parents-in-law. Can't I make them myself?
Two sets of clothes?”
Hearing this, Chen Xueru was so surprised that she almost couldn't close her mouth.
Your parents-in-law are getting married, but you make the clothes yourself. What's the point?
If you are a wealthy family, you can take advantage of the wedding celebration and make a big deal of it, and make everyone in the family clothes to express the joy.
But Chen Xueru once heard Li Weidong say that the Jia and Zhang family were not that kind of rich family.
Although Qin Huairu is now a second-level fitter.
The salary is only over 30 yuan. As a team leader, he can get an extra two yuan a month. However, he is the only worker in their family and the whole family relies on his salary to survive.
Maybe you have money to buy new clothes, and according to Qin Huairu, the clothes you buy this time will be relatively high-end clothes.
Seeing Chen Xueru hesitating there, Qin Huairu got a little angry.
"Let me ask you, do you have good fabrics in your tailor shop? If not, I will leave now and go to the tailor shop next door to make clothes."
Hearing this, Chen Xueru was immediately relieved.
I am a tailor shop owner.
Can you control what customers want to do when buying clothes?
As long as Qin Huairu can afford the money, she can sell the fabrics in the tailor shop to Qin Huairu.
He said that back then, their tailor shop had a backlog of silk and satin fabrics.
Later, after liberation, the silk and satin fabrics could not be sold. Of course, it was not because they could not be sold, but because people were unwilling to pay high prices to buy them.
Now is the time to sell those fabrics to Qin Huairu, and then earn a huge amount of processing fees.
You must know that the more expensive the fabric, the higher the processing fee for making clothes. Chen Xueru is a professional tailor and makes a living by collecting processing fees.
Is she still afraid that Qin Huairu needs to make clothes?
Thinking of this, Chen Xueru suddenly became passionate about Qin Huairu.
She took Qin Huairu's arm and walked into the warehouse, pointed to the silk and satin on the shelf and said: "Qin Huairu, have you seen it? These are all high-quality silk and satin, but the price is not cheap. If you need it, I can give it to you
Get a certain discount.”
Those silks and satins all looked very beautiful and high-grade, and Qin Huairu liked them very much.
At that time, he picked out a few pieces of silk and satin, and then asked Chen Xueru to help him make two sets of clothes.
Of course, Qin Huairu has not forgotten it either.
After making the clothes, Chen Xueru asked Chen Xueru to find the cheapest fabric and help Jia Zhang make a set of clothes.
These three sets of clothes cost a total of twenty-five yuan.
Qin Huairu also saved three yuan, and she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
But Qin Huairu still felt a little dissatisfied.
After he got the clothes, he looked at Chen Xueru and said, "Miss Xueru, I am your big customer today, and I made clothes worth nearly thirty yuan in one go.
In addition, Brother Weidong and I live in the same compound, and we are neighbors there. I think you and Brother Weidong are also friends, so from this aspect we are friends.
As a friend, shouldn't you give me a discount?"
Chen Xueru was not the kind of stingy person. Seeing Qin Huairu trying to bargain, he smiled and said: "Okay. Since you have said it, I will give you a cheaper price, so be it, because the price of silk is indeed relatively high.
, and there is still labor cost, so I will give you two yuan cheaper."
In fact, Chen Xueru's two yuan discount almost saves the labor cost.
But Qin Huairu was still not satisfied.
He rolled his eyes and said, "Miss Lin Xueru, you really think I'm a fool. It only costs three to five yuan for others to make a set of clothes. You charge me seven or eight yuan for a piece of clothes. Isn't that too much?"
Already?"
"Qin Huairu, you have to know that clothes are different from clothes. Especially this time, you specially selected the best silk and satin. The price of silk and satin is very high.
The price I gave you just now has taken out all the labor costs, which means that my work with you is almost in vain."
Lin Xueru felt a little angry, but she still managed to maintain her mood and tried her best to explain to Qin Huairu.
It's just that he doesn't understand Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu is the kind of person who especially likes to bully the weak and fear the strong when taking advantage.
The weaker you show, the stronger Qin Huairu will show.
Seeing that Chen Xueru seemed to be willing to give in, she quickly said: "Let's do this Xueru, I won't let you suffer. I will give you a total of twenty yuan for these three clothes. What do you think?"
You are generous enough, that is to say, no one else but me will pay such a high price, you must have made a lot of money this time."
Chen Xueru said coldly: "Qin Huairu, I just said that I won't make a penny from this business. If you don't believe it, please return the clothes to me now."
Qin Huairu chuckled: "Thanks to Chen Xueru, you are still a tailor, have you forgotten?
These clothes are all tailor-made. Even if I return the clothes to you, you won't be able to wear them for other customers, and you won't be able to sell them by then.
When the time comes and you lose more, you might as well sell the clothes to me."
It's just that Qin Huairu doesn't know Chen Xueru either.
Although Chen Xueru has been in business for so many years, she is a somewhat temperamental person.
She felt that Qin Huairu was deliberately insulting him.
In this case, even if Chen Xueru threw away the clothes, she would not sell them to Qin Huairu.
She snatched the clothes from Qin Huairu and said coldly: "Qin Huairu, you can leave now. I will never sell these clothes to you."
After saying that, she pushed Qin Huairu and was about to push Qin Huairu out.
Qin Huairu suddenly became anxious when she saw this scene.
She is not a fool, so she naturally knows that those satin clothes are indeed worth the price.
I just wanted to take advantage of it.
Who would have thought that without taking advantage, Chen Xueru had such a bad temper that she would not sell it to him.
Qin Huairu quickly smiled and explained: "Chen Xueru, don't worry, I was just joking with you. As you know, brother Weidong and I are good neighbors. We work in the same factory, and we have a special relationship on weekdays.
Okay. So just sell the clothes to me at the price just now."
If it were anyone else, Chen Xueru would definitely kick him out at this time.
But when I think about it carefully, the relationship between Qin Huairu and Li Weidong seems to be good. If Qin Huairu really offends Qin Huairu at this time, there will be no way to explain to Li Weidong.
So Chen Xueru hesitated and sold the clothes to Qin Huairu.
After getting the clothes, Qin Huairu said with a smile: "Your business skills are not good. I tell you that you can't be angry in business. Even if the customers have unreasonable demands, you have to be kind and kind, so that you can make a fortune."
Chen Xueru said with a cold face: "Comrade Qin Huairu, I am not in business, I am just a tailor, relying on my own craftsmanship to make a living."
Qin Huairu was scolded and was speechless at that time.
She smiled awkwardly, then got on her bicycle and left.
After Qin Huairu returned to the courtyard, she ran all the way back to her home and closed the door tightly.
Mrs. Jia Zhang is waiting for news at home.
When she saw Qin Huairu coming back, she originally wanted to go up and ask. Who would have thought that Qin Huairu closed the door and hid in the house.
Jia Zhang couldn't help it at that time.
She walked to the door and knocked hard on the door several times.
"Qin Huairu, what are you doing in the house? Didn't you go to Zhang Da to make a fortune? How is the situation?"
Qin Huairu said while changing clothes inside: "Things went smoothly. Please wait for me outside for a while. I will be out soon."
Qin Huairu knew very well that if Jia Zhang knew that he had made new clothes, Jia Zhang would definitely be unhappy. This dead old woman would never see him put on clothes.
Jia Zhang felt a little strange about Qin Huairu's behavior, and he couldn't wait any longer at this time.
So Jia Zhang didn't listen to Qin Huairu, but pushed the door gently. She was overjoyed when she found that Qin Huairu didn't lock the door from the inside.
Jia Zhang pushed the door suddenly, and it was pushed open.
I saw Qin Huairu wearing an emerald green satin cheongsam.
Jia Zhang frowned at that time: "Qin Huairu's clothes look a bit revealing and are not suitable for you to wear."
"I'm just trying it on without putting it on. You really think I'm stupid. People wear work clothes outside now. Can I wear this clothes?"
When Qin Huairu said this, she had to change her clothes.
Jia Zhang suddenly remembered something, glared at Qin Huairu and said, "Qin Huairu, let me ask you where did you get this dress?"
Jia Zhang knew very well that Qin Huairu had no money.
Making such a satin dress requires a lot of money.
Qin Huairu smiled awkwardly: "I saved my own money to make these clothes."
"Qin Huairu, do you still want to lie to me now? I have seen such clothes before. The old Wang family in the compound next door used to be landlords, and his wife once made such a dress in a silk and satin shop. It looks like
This one is not as good as yours, it only costs seven or eight yuan. How can you have so much money on you?"
At that time, Jia Zhang saw another cheongsam inside the canvas bag.
"Now you actually made two cheongsams in one go. Let me ask you, are you in love with any wild man? These cheongsams were all given to you by that wild man."
Qin Huairu didn't expect Jia Zhang's eyes to be so sharp, and now it became clear that any explanation was in vain.
Qin Huairu could only tell the story about the money Zhang Dafa gave to buy clothes.
"Ms. Jia Zhang. You have to know that I am your natal family member now. When the time comes, I will put on good clothes. You will also be more respectable, and then the people in the compound will look up to you. I am doing this for you too.
good."
It was okay for Qin Huairu to fool others, but how could she fool the cunning Jia Zhang family?
Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted coldly and said: "Qin Huairu, please stop lying. You must have extorted these clothes from Zhang Dafa in my name. It must have been Zhang Dafa who paid me to buy the clothes. The result was good for me."
You made two good clothes yourself before you even bought them. You are being unfilial."
Seeing Jia Zhang slap a big hat on her face when she opened her mouth, Qin Huairu quickly took out the soap blue dress from the canvas bag and explained: "How can I forget you?
In fact, I also bought clothes for you. Look how beautiful the clothes are, how bright the colors are, and how good the style is.
And the clothes were made by Chen Xueru herself.
You may not know it yet.
Chen Xueru's family used to make clothes with the prince."
Jia Zhang looked at the dress with disgust on her face: "Qin Huairu, are you lying? My clothes are made of silk and satin, and the clothes made for me are indeed made of the cheapest fabric. Do you still have any conscience?
"
"You are right, the fabric of this dress is indeed cheap, but I also think about you.
If you think about it carefully, if you really wear good clothes to get married, others will say that you are too flamboyant.
You are now over fifty years old, how can you be the same as a little girl?
I have worked so hard for your marriage."
Qin Huairu continued: "In fact, Zhang Dafa didn't even think about buying clothes for you. I tried my best to get him to buy clothes for you, but you don't know what's good and what's good, and you're still angry with me.
"
I have to say that Qin Huairu's ability to rake someone down is indeed very strong.
If it were anyone else, he would have been deceived by this time.
It's just that Jia Zhang is a thousand-year-old fox.
Jia Zhang glanced at Qin Huai indifferently and said: "Qin Huairu. I tell you now, you have only one way to go, and that is to help me make a good dress right away. If you don't do it, then
Don't blame me for being rude."
When Qin Huairu saw that Jia Zhang was really angry, she felt a little scared.
But at this time, she has already spent 7788% of her money. How can she have the money to make clothes for Jia Zhang?
"Wait until next month. When my salary is paid next month, I will definitely help you make clothes."
At this time, Qin Huairu could only think of ways to delay time.
But Jia Zhang didn't listen to him.
Jia Zhang turned around and ran outside.
Shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Everyone, come and take a look. I was supposed to be getting married, but who knew that my daughter-in-law spent the money given to me by the husband's family on making clothes? She made two sets of cheongsams by herself. Look at this, everyone.
As a daughter-in-law?"
These two days.
There was a lot of excitement outside the Jia's house, so everyone was always staring at the Jia's house.
After hearing Jia Zhang's shout, people quickly gathered outside the door.
"Why did Qin Huairu spend Jia Zhang's money on making clothes to make a cheongsam for herself? This is a bit outrageous."
"Your focus is a bit strange. I find it strange that even though Dazhang is so old, there are still people who are willing to spend money to make clothes for him."
"Yes, yes. I don't know who took advantage of him."
"Jia Zhang was robbed of her clothes by Qin Huairu this time. She will definitely not let it go. There is a lot of excitement in our compound."
