Chapter 062 First Business
Hyman hesitated for a moment and nodded and agreed.
For a fashion designer, if she doesn't value her design, she doesn't value her career, but in such a situation, she can only retreat.
"I'll go back and get it and send it to you!" She said.
"No, isn't your store on Liuxu Street? I'll go with you and see what your store looks like!" Widow Sun became curious about her store.
Hyman is naturally not afraid of her, "Okay, let's go together!"
Wo Sun immediately asked the clerk to put on a carriage, moved the cloth that Hyman looked for, got into the carriage and followed.
"Are you going to open a tailor shop or a new house?" Widow Sun looked at her unfinished pave and didn't believe that she was going to open a tailor's shop.
Hyman didn't want to explain more to her. He took her to the backyard room and took out the design drawings she had drawn and let her choose by herself.
Wow Sun's eyes were sharp, and she chose the best ten of them. However, she did not treat Hyman at a loss. In addition to the price of the cloth, she threw another 400 taels, of which were used as a red envelope to congratulate her opening.
Hyman was short of money, so he generously accepted it.
"What are you wooden people doing?" Widow Sun was curious when she saw the model made for her by Xiaohu. When Hyman explained it to her in detail, she gave high-fives, "That's a good idea. I'll find a carpenter to carve a few later!"
Hyman was a little helpless. The tailors came up with ideas after hundreds of thousands of years and were so easily beaten back to ancient times.
"What are these two?" Widow Sun looked at her fitting room and asked again. Hyman explained to her again, and she gave her high-five again, "I'll get two later!"
"Please, did you come to visit or plagiarize? You can move my tailor's shop to your place later!" Hyman couldn't help protesting.
Woman Sun smiled and said, "That can't be. At least I mainly do cloth business there. How can I make it the same as your store?"
She visited around before leaving with satisfaction with the design drawings.
A few days later, Uncle Liao has finished everything she asked to do to ask for her advice so that she can paint. She chose the more elegant light green and milky white and drew drawings for Uncle Liao to brush as usual. She had already figured out the name of the tailor's shop, called Jin Ming, so she asked Uncle Liao to brush these two words on the counter and asked him to make a plaque.
The front is ready to stop, just waiting for the paint to dry. Hyman asked Uncle Liao to make a few horizontal shelves and place them in the warehouse for cloth.
These days, Xiaohu is not idle. He has made six model models and several tailor toolboxes. The workmanship is very exquisite and meticulous, which makes Hyman quite satisfied.
After everything was done, Uncle Liao only asked her for a hundred taels of silver. As long as she had the material money, she didn't have to pay for the work. Hyman felt sorry and gave him fifty taels to buy wine. Uncle Liao couldn't refuse, so he accepted it happily and said that she wanted to do something in the future. Just go to him, and he was on call.
Hyman took the cloth samples from Widow Sun, put them all in the cupboard, and bought a lot of things. Finally, everything stopped, so he set off two firecrackers and opened them on the auspicious day chosen by Mrs. Qu.
The tailor shop is not as good as a restaurant. On the opening day, there are several tables for everyone to eat and drink for free, and everyone can go to please. A tailor's shop can't send a piece of cloth alone, can it? That's not good! Therefore, the opening of the shop seemed very deserted. Only Qi Wenhao came to send a red envelope of 100 taels of silver instead of Master Lin, and he also sent 100 taels himself.
On the first day of opening, a few people came in and walked around and went out. They probably still couldn't get used to such a tailor shop.
Hyman was not anxious, but worried about Yuexiang and Mei Xinger, "Miss, aren't we going to starve to death if we go on like this?"
"Take your time. You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!" Hyman buried his head in drawing pictures and laughed.
Sister-in-law Qu is also a little anxious, "Shopkeeper, why don't I go out and help you get some work?" Your clothes are so beautiful. When the reputation spreads, many people will come to make it for you!"
"Okay, if you have any way, just help me. I will give you dividends when I make money!" Hyman comes from the commodity society. Of course, he knows the importance of advertising. After thinking about it, "Move two models to the door of the store tomorrow, so that people can see it!"
Yuexiang nodded, "Hmm!" He came over and took a look, "Miss, what are you drawing?"
"The standard of our shop!" Hyman drew one and picked it up to show them. It is the brocade inscription of the flower body, with a ® pattern next to it.
Large satin houses and tailor shops also have their own logos, most of which are in the shape of seals. This is the first time they have seen this mark. However, with Hyman, they have seen too many strange things, so it's not surprising.
"Sister Qu, do you know a familiar embroiderer?" Hyman wanted to embroider this logo more and put it in the store for later use, so he asked his sister-in-law.
Sister-in-law Qu thought for a moment, "I know a jade aunt, but her embroiderer has nothing to say. But she is Lan Ji's embroiderer, so I'm afraid she can't invite her!"
"I don't want to hire an embroidery worker for the time being. When our business is good, I just want to find someone to embroider some of this logo. Can you help me find a reliable person?"
"That's right to find Aunt Yu. She has always done private work outside without telling Lan Ji. After all, there are also young people in her family to support!" Sister Qu took the sign and looked at it. "This is not difficult to embroider. It shouldn't cost much money. I'll just help the shopkeeper negotiate!"
Hyman nodded, "Well, that's good for you!"
Although there was no business on the first day, everyone was still a little tired and went to bed early. The next morning, Sister-in-law Qu took the pattern to find Aunt Yu and advertised the business by the way. Hyman cleaned up the store and asked Mei Xinger and Yuexiang to move two models out to attract customers. Then he drew pictures in the room and planned something else to prepare. After all, it's not well prepared for a while!
As I was drawing, I saw Yuexiang running in with a happy face, "Miss, I have a business, and someone wants to make clothes..."
When Hyman heard that there was a business, he was also very happy. He quickly put down his pen and got up in front of him. He saw a woman about 20 years old, dressed in a little exaggerated clothes, studying the model with great interest.
"Excuse me, does this girl want to make clothes?" She walked over and asked politely.
The woman turned around and glanced at her, "Are these clothes made by you?" The appearance is quite beautiful, but the makeup is too thick, especially the rouge, which is very popular and steals her charming eyes.
"Yes, I did it!" Hyman nodded with a smile.
"The style is very good. I like it very much!" The woman did not hide her admiration at all. "Then help me make some clothes!"
Haman hurriedly took the drawing book and handed it to her. "This is the drawing of our shop. Girl, please see if there is anything you like. If you don't like it, you said that, I will draw the drawing and show it to you. If you agree, we will start discussing other things!"
"This is the best!" The woman took the picture book and looked at it. The more she looked at it, the brighter her eyes became. "That's really good. These are all good!"
"Does the girl like it?" Hyman waited for her to look through the picture book and asked with a smile.
The woman pointed to two of them, "I like these two styles very much. Can you do them for me?"
"Of course!" Hyman nodded, "Don't you know what the girl wants from the fabric?"
"I don't have any special requirements. You can use whatever fabric is suitable for you. As for the price, there is no problem. As long as it is done well, I can afford it!" The woman said in a tone.
It's better to be cautious in business. Hyman still took two suitable design cloth samples for her to choose. When she chose it, she said the price. The two clothes cost a total of 50 taels of silver.
The woman happily took out ten taels as a deposit, "You can do it. Send it to Baixiang Building when you're done, mention the name of the daffodil, and others will know!"
Hyman was stunned for a moment and then understood that the customer of her first business was a brothel woman!
No matter what the identity is, the customer is God. Hyman hurriedly issued a policy for her, asked Yuexiang to measure her size, carefully recorded it, and politely sent her out.
"Great, I finally have a business!" Yuexiang and Mei Xing'er looked at each other and smiled.
Hyman stared at them, "How on earth do you do business? Didn't I tell you that when the guests come, let them sit down here first, pour tea, show them the album, and tell them what I just said?
Yuexiang and Mei Xinger both had an embarrassed look on their faces, "We forgot when we were happy..."
"Okay, just remember it next time!" Hyman knocked on their foreheads anxiously, went to the warehouse to get the cloth selected by the woman, cut it according to the pattern, and left the big sewing work to Mrs. Qu to make those meticulous places that needed special attention.
Sister-in-law Qu went out all morning and came back at noon and brought her a few embroidery samples. Hyman was very satisfied and asked her to tell the jade aunt to embroider more than 100 copies as usual. Sister Qu agreed and decided to talk to Aunt Yu tomorrow.
The two of them started the clothes that the brothel woman wanted together. At least this was the first business. Both of them did it very carefully. By the time of the second update, they had already finished the two clothes.
The place of the brothel is not suitable for Mei Xing'er and Yuexiang, so she asked Mrs. Qu to send it to the Baixiang Building the next morning.
The Baixiang Building was very close to Liuxu Street. After two quarter of an hour, Mrs. Qu took 40 taels of silver and returned it back and happily handed it to Hyman.
What about the policy? Why didn't you get it back together?" Hyman hurriedly asked when he saw that there was only silver and no insurance policy.
Sister-in-law Qu was stunned for a moment, "Do you still need to take that back?"
"Of course!" Hyman sighed. It seems that these people still have a lot to learn. He also blamed himself for not telling her, "Forget it this time. Remember to take it next time!"
"Hmm!" Several people agreed.
