Lin Lan saw a customer who liked it and wanted to try it on. The Xiaoxue sisters were too busy, so they walked over quickly, took off the royal blue wool coat, and handed it to the female customer: "Comrade, you have fair skin and wear royal blue."
The color is absolutely beautiful!”
This series is a long wool coat with a unique green fruit collar and a very good waist. It can be worn just above the knees for tall ladies. It is also the most expensive piece of clothing purchased this time.
The retail price is 118. The material is not as good as this in department stores, and the workmanship is not as good. It is still more than ten yuan more expensive.
The female customer saw the price on the price tag and hesitated: "I'll give it a try. If it suits me, I'll pick it up tomorrow."
Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "This coat is the latest style, with good quality and fit. You can try it on first and let us know if you are satisfied."
Not many people carry a hundred dollars in cash with them these days. In the past two days, most of them just watched it and went back to get the money to buy it again.
Some people are worried that the store will sell the clothes they have chosen later, so they put down a deposit and let the store keep it for them.
After trying it, the female customer was very satisfied. She looked in the mirror and said: "My colleague introduced me here and said that your newly opened shop has good styles and quality. I came here specifically to take a look after get off work today."
"Don't worry, the styles in my house are all the latest styles from the coast. Every piece is carefully selected by me." Lin Lan smiled and lifted the hem of his clothes, "Look, the material is fine and soft, and it looks classy when worn.
Not to mention it’s still very warm.”
"The quality is better than the ones in department stores. I'll give you a deposit and you can keep it for me. I'll pick it up when I get back to eat."
"Okay, I'll put this in the warehouse."
Lin Lan took the deposit from her, issued a receipt to her, and hung the coat in the warehouse.
Li Xiangyang came to the shop before closing. The two collected the business money, closed the shop and returned to Lexing together.
After dinner, Lin Changyou and Li Xiangyang sat in the main room, talking and peeling bean curds, and Xiaodouzi was also there to help.
Wu Shufen and Lin Lan went to the wing to make beds for Wu Shuqin and her daughter.
"Xiaolan, your aunt wants Xinglan to find something to do with you, what do you think?"
Lin Lan smiled and said: "Okay! Auntie, do you want Xinglan to learn how to make cakes or go to the shop to sell things?"
Wu Shufen hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Your aunt wants Xinglan to learn how to make cakes from you, but I think Xinglan wants to sell things in a shop!"
"A girl of fifteen or sixteen years old is at the age where she can have wild thoughts. I'm afraid that Xinglan might go to the shop and provoke people she shouldn't provoke. You have a tough temper, and it won't be easy for relatives then. I think it's best to let her be with you.
Learn how to make cakes, don't let her go to the shop, so as not to cause trouble."
Lin Lan smiled and nodded: "It's all up to you, you have the final say."
"Okay, let's go out. You tell your aunt about the rules." Wu Shufen thought about it and warned her, "As the saying goes, good things come better than good things go, so you should say something ugly first to save yourself trouble later."
"Yeah!" Lin Lan handed the blanket to Wu Shufen, and mother and daughter began to make the bed.
In the kitchen, Qiao Hui and three others were cutting beans around a large wooden basin. Wu Shuqin smiled and said, "Qiao Hui, why don't you take a day off? What are you doing in such a hurry?"
Qiaohui smiled: "We didn't set up a stall yesterday, and we have another day off today. Zhixue and Zhilin are still waiting for goods tomorrow morning!"
Tong Xinglan looked at her: "Qiaohui, you are now enjoying the blessing at your cousin's house!"
"Well! My cousin is so kind to me," Qiao Hui smiled and pointed to the waist-cinching jacket she was wearing, "Everything I wear was made by my cousin. It's very warm."
It was the first time in her life that she wore such a lightly warm little jacket, a woolen sweater, and woolen pants, which were not bulky but still warm.
Tong Xinglan glanced at the floral cotton jacket: "Qiaohui, why don't you wear the one you wear in the shop?"
Qiaohui smiled and said, "Those are work clothes for work. They get dirty easily when you go home and work."
Wu Shuqin nodded: "Qiaohui, how much money will you give Xiaolan as a master for a month when you learn the craft here?"
"My cousin is so kind. She didn't ask for my master's money and gave me my wages. Starting from this month, I will get thirty-five yuan a month," Qiaohui said with a smile and narrowed her eyes. "My mother and the others stayed at home for a year.
You can’t earn so much.”
Wu Shuqin looked at Qiaohui in surprise: "Thirty-five yuan? So much?"
She calculated in her mind that Lin Yuezhen and Qiaohui needed 70 yuan a month, including food and accommodation. How much did Lin Lan earn in a month?
Tong Xinglan looked at Qiaohui: "Why don't you go to a shop and be a salesperson? Making cakes at home is so smoky, how can you be comfortable in a shop?"
Qiaohui raised her head and glanced at her: "My mother said that once you learn a craft, it's your own. You can use it whenever you want."
"Yes, what Qiaohui said is right," Wu Shuqin looked at Tong Xinglan, "I will talk to your cousin later and you can come here and learn how to make cakes from her."
Tong Xinglan looked at her dissatisfied: "Mom, I don't like making cakes. I like to sell things in the shop."
Wu Shuqin glared at her: "Who doesn't know how to sell things? If you learn a craft, it will be yours for the rest of your life."
Tong Xinglan didn't say anything, but she still felt that selling things was a honor.
Lin Lan and Wu Shufen made the bed and returned to the kitchen. Wu Shuqin stopped Lin Lan and said with a blushing face: "Xiao Lan, has your mother told you?"
"Tell me," Lin Lan took the bench from Qiaohui and sat down and said, "Auntie, learning to make cakes is as hard as learning to be a cook. It's very smoky every day, and sometimes you can stand for most of the day.
.Ask Xinglan, as long as she can bear the hardship."
Wu Shuqin nodded repeatedly and confirmed: "Xinglan is willing to learn, and she works very neatly."
Lin Lan looked at Tong Xinglan: "Xinglan, you really want to learn how to make cakes."
Tong Xinglan glanced at Wu Shuqin, nodded and said: "Cousin, I want to learn."
Lin Lan looked at her and felt something was wrong. She thought for a moment and said, "I will pay for food and accommodation for the first two months. After two months, I will be able to operate independently. My monthly salary is thirty-five yuan, including food and accommodation."
Wu Shuqin happily took Lin Lan's hand: "Xiaolan, thank you. My aunt will take Xinglan back tomorrow, get a change of clothes, and send her to Lexing."
Wu Shufen looked at her angrily: "My niece, why are you so polite?"
Wu Shuqin smiled and nodded: "Yes, there is no need for the family to be so polite."
Lin Lan drained the water from the cut beans and handed them to Qiaohui for fried orchid beans. She began to pound the pumpkin puree ingredients to make pumpkin cakes.
Wu Shuqin looked at Lin Lan's neat appearance and felt that she was really a different person compared to before.
Li Xiangyang and Lin Changyou exchanged experiences on the pig farm in the main room. They looked at the TV set on the sewing machine and said with a smile: "Dad, you come back tomorrow to cut a steel spring, and I will make an antenna."
