Chapter 29: Clothing shop
Chapter 29 Garment shop
After putting away the files, County Magistrate Hu and the county magistrate personally sent Chu Nanzhi out of the government office, and watched her get into the carriage.
Chu Nanzhi sat in the carriage, opened the curtain and looked at the two people smiling and amiable towards her, and cursed secretly:
"These two old foxes don't have the ability to solve cases, but they can plot people one after another."
I don't know where I learned it from.
The carriage was driving slowly on the street of the county government office, when passing by a ready-made clothing store, Chu Nanzhi told the groom to stop first.
A few days ago, I agreed to buy some new clothes for my family. It has been raining a lot these days, and I have never gone out.
Since passing by, I took this opportunity to do this.
Entering the tailor shop, she took a general look, but there were a complete range of clothes for men, women, old and children, and the styles were considered novel and fashionable in this era.
And the goods are not single, shoes and jewelry are all available.
But the shop owner of the ready-made clothing store is a discerning person. Seeing that she is a poorly dressed woman, even if she looks a bit pretty, she knows that she is not a person who is willing to spend money.
Let her wander around the shop, but she didn't bother to come over and talk to her.
"Shopkeeper, is there any discount for the clothes in your shop?"
Chu Nanzhi touched a child's clothes with good texture and texture and asked a question.
Although I don't know the exact stature of these little guys, but looking at this one in front of me, it's pink and tender, and the little four treasures must look good on it.
The shopkeeper, with a fat head and big ears, leaned lazily on the chair and yawned: "No."
As expected, he was a poor ghost.
Chu Nanzhi was a little bit reluctant to part: "Then how much money is this clothes?"
"Four taels of silver."
"too expensive."
The boss glanced at her contemptuously: "There are cheaper ones over there, one or two silver."
As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a little awkward: This woman might not be able to afford it for a tael of silver.
"Still a bit expensive."
Chu Nanzhi also did as he expected, and gradually removed her hands from her clothes.
Sure enough, good-looking things are not cheap.
Looking at the entire store, all the fabrics of the clothes are somewhat luxurious, and it is not affordable for common people at first glance.
Just as he was about to leave hesitantly, he heard the shopkeeper say: "The cheap clothes, jewelry, and shoes in the shop are all a tael of silver, but if the lady buys more, there will be a discount."
The words are full of provocation.
Hearing that there was a discount, Chu Nanzhi suddenly became interested again.
I just listened to the store's hasty introduction: "Regardless of the price of the goods in the store, as long as the lady can buy more than five pieces, I can buy each item at 20% cheaper than the lady. If there are more than ten pieces, I would like to sell it to the lady at half price."
Well, she's a poor ghost anyway, so it's okay to tease her.
Chu Nanzhi was delighted to hear that.
Isn't this the wholesale of her era, where the quantity is large and the profits are small but the sales are high.
It's just that even if you buy five pieces at this price, it will cost a lot of money.
Unless you can buy ten pieces.
But she felt that ten pieces were too much.
And even if you buy the cheapest one at half price, you still have to spend five taels of silver.
Five liang of silver is enough to live frugally and spend nearly half a year for the family.
Seeing her lack of action, the shopkeeper became a little impatient: "Hey, my lady, if you can't afford it, don't influence your subordinates to do business here, and don't take a good look at yourself. This is what a peasant woman like you should come here for." place."
Who do you look down on!
Chu Nanzhi was speechless.
At this time, three ladies who were very luxuriously dressed at the door walked in slowly, looked at the clothes and jewelry inside and discussed with each other:
"The clothes in this store are pretty good."
Someone glanced at the fat boss sitting over there, but showed a look of disdain: "But the shop owner is a big man, I'm afraid he doesn't understand our thoughts."
"Yes, the last time I went to a shop, the clothes in that shop were not bad, but the shop owner is a young man, I asked him everything and he thought it looked good, but in the end, I went to the sisters' poetry meeting, and everyone laughed at me Me, saying that I am like a chicken, it **** me off."
"I heard that there is a good shop in Dongshi City. The lady in the shop can dress for others, and also knows how to draw eyebrows and make up. She even gives advice on what clothes to wear and what kind of hair bun. She is really considerate."
"Then let's go over there and have a look."
After finishing speaking, I will leave.
The store owner was also a little helpless.
Noble customers can't stay, and poor customers don't want to deal with them.
Seeing that most of the day has passed, there are quite a few customers coming and going, but half of the things have not been sold.
Chu Nanzhi suddenly had an idea, and called out to the noble ladies: "Ladies, slow down, I know some knowledge about how to dress up, I wonder if I can help you?"
When several people heard the shout, they immediately turned around and saw a woman dressed in shabby clothes. They immediately lost interest and even showed suspicious eyes:
"I'm afraid you are not a rich girl in such a suit. How can you understand the hearts of women in our circle?"
Chu Nanzhi pursed her thin lips and smiled.
Actually, her clothes are elegant and elegant. Although they are not as gorgeous as these rich ladies, they are already considered good in the village.
Since her words were not convincing, she pointed directly to a well-proportioned, fair-skinned woman on the left and said:
"This little lady is fair and beautiful, and has a good figure. In fact, she shouldn't wear such bloated dark fabrics. Instead, she should wear tighter fabrics. Light or pink colors are good. I think the hair is in a bun. The little lady can make it even higher, and the Lingxu bun is very suitable for you, it can not only highlight the figure of the little lady, but also look charming and beautiful."
First he praised, then pointed out the problem, and then gave suggestions, which made the woman tremble and smile, and immediately became interested, walked up to Chu Nanzhi, and said kindly:
"Sister, would you like to choose some suitable clothes for me?"
Seeing this, the rest of them also gathered around one after another, rushing to ask her for help in matching.
Chu Nanzhi didn't rush, and said with a warm smile, "It's easy to say, I'm willing to help, but I will share half of the saved money."
"It's not about money, as long as my sister satisfies us, all the money saved will belong to you."
If it was really a woman from a rich family, Chu Nanzhi felt envious and jealous for a while.
Traveling and reincarnation are the same principle, which is a profound knowledge.
But how did he become a broken household?
I really can't figure it out.
But jealousy is jealousy, she can earn money, she must not let go of the opportunity, and immediately explained it to these little girls in detail.
From the color and style of clothes and shoes, to how to draw eyebrows, what kind of jewelry to wear, what kind of bun to wear, and even what kind of hairpins, step shakers, and hairpins to put on the bun, etc., she All explained vividly and clearly.
The rich ladies were very satisfied.
According to her suggestion, after the three of them tried it on, they each bought four or five sets of clothes and added a lot of jewelry.
He also wished to take her back to the mansion as a guest of honor.
After waiting for the three of them to leave, Chu Nanzhi counted the silver in his hands. Although he had been busy for a long time, he helped the shopkeeper earn nearly a hundred taels of silver.
Except for the store, the remaining half is your own.
But the shopkeeper was a little unhappy, with a gloomy face, he didn't expect this woman to have such a trick.
The rich ladies just now bought most of the latest and most expensive items in the shop, such as gold buckles worth a dozen taels of silver, clothes and earrings in three or four taels, all of which had to be given half to her.
The heart of the store is bleeding.
Fortunately, there is still a little profit.
While Chu Nanzhi was explaining, it also attracted a lot of onlookers, rich ladies and women from the boudoir. Waiting for the woman in front to leave, two more beautiful women came to pester her, waiting for her to give advice.
Chu Nanzhi looked at the more than forty taels of silver in her hand, thinking that buying a few clothes would be enough. She didn't want to earn more money from the store, but she couldn't hold back the persistence of the women, so she had to endure her temper and start working as a shopping guide again.
Although the two beauties were not as wealthy as the previous lady, they were willing to accept her offer of a half discount, and finally earned her another five taels of silver.
After repeating this process, after two hours, Chu Nanzhi already had sixty taels of silver in his hand.
Seeing that the two handsome young men from a rich family were about to approach him again, the shopkeeper immediately became anxious and shouted at the person who came in:
"Closed today, closed today, no more customers."
This morning, my grandpa asked me for something.
I asked him what he wanted.
He said to help my grandma ask for recommendation tickets.
