Chapter 064 Bring Business
Hyman looked up and saw Haixian coming in with a smile. Without waiting for her to speak, he looked around, "Your shop is really strange!"
"Is this lady going to make clothes?" Hyman greeted her as if he didn't know her.
"I heard that my sister opened a shop. Of course, as a sister, I will come to congratulate her, won't I?" Haixian looked at her and smiled.
Hyman ignored her and said to himself, "Yuexiang, pour tea, Mei Xinger, show this lady the album!"
Yuexiang saw hostility on Haixian's face, but Haiman didn't say anything, and she couldn't have a seizure, so she had to pour a bowl of tea for Haixian as instructed, deliberately pouring it full.
Mei Xinger heard from Yuexiang that it was Miss Hai who designed to marry Haiman to Lin Mansion and drive Yuexiang to the stable. She didn't have a good impression on her and put the album on the counter with a crack.
Haixian was already angry when she saw this situation, but she still smiled a little, "Yo, that's how your shop treats guests?"
Although Hyman doesn't know how she knows here, he also knows that she must not have any good intentions when she comes. "We have always treated our guests as warm as spring. Can't girls feel it at all?"
There was sarcasm in her words, and Haixian couldn't hear it. There was already a trace of anger on her face, but she still forced a smile, "Come on, then I'll take a look at making a dress, take care of your business, and treat it as a little sister!" As he looked at the album, a surprised expression appeared on his face, "Where did you come from?"
"Where else can it come from? Naturally, it was painted by our young lady!" Mei Xinger interrupted proudly.
"Did you draw it?" Haixian looked at Haiman in surprise and didn't seem to believe it.
Hyman didn't answer and asked with a smile, "Miss, do you like it? If you don't like it, we can also draw a special drawing for you according to the requirements!"
"Then make this for me!" Haixian picked a pattern and pointed to Haiman.
Haiman looked at the pattern and went to hang the cupboard to get a few suitable cloth samples and let her choose. Haixian chose a dark red fine silk.
"This dress costs a total of 30 taels of silver, and the price is ten taels!" Hyman deliberately said that the price was ten taels higher, and the price was five taels more. "Do you want to do it, Miss?"
Haixian untied her purse, took out an ingot of ten taels of silver from it, and threw it on the counter with a bang. "Good clothes are worth this price. What is ten taels?"
"Moon fragrance, open the insurance policy, Mei Xinger, measure the size for this lady!" Hyman took the silver and ordered.
The two maids promised to do it, and Haiman gave her the policy. "Take this policy to pick up the clothes after five days. The policy should be kept well. Without the policy, we won't pay the clothes, and we can't withdraw the money!"
"What? Aren't you responsible for delivering it to your door? Other tailor shops are all delivered to the door!" Haixian stared at her and asked.
"We only deliver home delivery to guests within one li around the shop!" Hyman looked at her leisurely.
Haixian pulled the corners of his mouth, "Who said I lived a miles away?"
"Then tell me the address!" Hyman said quietly.
Hai Xian failed to stimulate Haiman, and he was a little annoyed, "Send me to Tianfu Tea House at the corner of this street!"
"Moon fragrance, remember it carefully!" Hyman turned his head and ordered Yuexiang, so he ignored her and greeted her sister-in-law to come to the backyard. Seeing that Haixian wanted to follow her, he reached out to block her, "I'm sorry, this is a private house behind it. Guests can't enter!"
Haixian finally couldn't laugh, "Do you have to do this to me?"
"I'm sorry, miss, we only have the front pavement to visit, and the private residence is not open to the public!" Hyman's tone is still lukewarm.
Haixian snorted, "If you don't look at it, don't look at it. Who do you think cares?" Turn around and leave.
"This lady, please don't send her off. Welcome to visit next time!" Heyman shouted at her back and saw that she walked faster with a smile on his lips.
Sister-in-law Qu didn't know Haixian and couldn't help but wonder, "Shopkeeper, who is that lady?"
"Miss Haijia!" Hyman said lightly.
Mrs. Qu suddenly realized, "So she is!"
Hyman went to the warehouse to get the cloth, cut the other three clothes, and asked Mrs. Qu to sew clothes for the driver first, and he carefully cut the performance clothes of the big lily. There are more cuts in this dress, and there is much more meticulous work than other clothes. Anyway, this is also the clothes related to the happiness of Da Lily for the rest of her life. She did it very carefully.
The driver came to get the clothes as promised the next day. He was overjoyed to see the finished clothes. He bowed to Hyman several times in a row and took them away carefully and happily.
"Miss, is that dress too cheap?" Mei Xinger looked at the account book and only had more than 300 articles, and couldn't help frowning.
"The fabric used is very ordinary. I removed the handwork fee and only received the money for the cloth." Hyman smiled, but in fact, it was a little less than cloth money.
Mei Xing'er sighed, "Miss, you will die if you do business like this!"
"You can't make enough money. The most important thing is to keep a warm and bright heart!" Hyman smiled disapprovingly and said, "It's rare for him to be filial, just think of it as a favor for him!"
"Yes, yes, I can't always talk to you!" Mei Xinger wrinkled her nose and smiled at her.
Hyman went back to the room and continued to make her clothes. After being idle for so long, Mrs. Qu's sewing work has not regressed, but has been more refined. Most of the big lily's dress has been sewn in the morning.
The two of them got together. By dinner, they had already finished the ordinary dress and sewed half of the performance clothes. After another day's struggle, it will be all sewn.
Big Lily couldn't wait to see what her finished costume looked like and came early in the morning. When Hyman took out the dress, her eyes were shining, "It's so beautiful!"
"Come on, try it on!" Hyman gave her to the fitting room and helped her get dressed. She came out and took a picture of the bronze mirror, "Is this still me?"
"Of course it's you!" Hyman laughed.
The big lily seemed to be particularly satisfied with the lotus leaf sleeve and lotus leaf collar. She touched it, took it again and again, and took it off reluctantly after wearing it for a long time. She looked at Hyman and asked, "Can I store this dress with you temporarily?"
"Why?" Hyman is a little puzzled.
"You know, there are many people in Baixiang Building. In case someone steals it, it will be troublesome!" The big lily has an extra heart.
Haiman doesn't think anyone can steal like this. Even if he steals it, he won't do it soon. Those buckles alone will be enough for them to study for a while. At that time, I'm afraid that the next top card of Baixiang Building will come out. But it's okay to let her store it!
"Then put it here first!" She said with a smile.
"You won't make the same clothes for others, will you?" The big lily is still not at ease.
This woman was worried a lot. Hyman smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, I won't do it for the second person again. Even if I do it, someone has to dare to wear it out!"
Although women in this era are open, they are still wrapped tightly. Only the women in the brothel dare to wear such revealing clothes!
"Okay, then I'll deposit it with you. This is the forty taels of silver and the insurance policy. I'll give it to you together!" The big lily handed over the silver and the insurance policy together.
"It's not too late to give it to me when you come to pick up the clothes!" Hyman didn't answer.
Da Baili didn't comply and stuffed the money into her hand. "You have made clothes for me as agreed, and I will pay the accounts payable. I can trust you here, and I'm not afraid that you won't give it to me!"
"Well, you can come and get it then!" Hyman handed the clothes to Yuexiang and asked her to hang them in the wardrobe and lock them.
Big Lily looked at the performance uniform and increased her confidence. She left happily with another dress, "I'll go back to practice the pipa song!"
"I hope she can find a good man, otherwise I will be too sorry for the shopkeeper to make this dress for her. How much time has it taken? It's not expensive to charge her a hundred taels of silver!" Sister-in-law Qu leaned against the door and said with a sigh.
"Isn't it because Sister-in-law Qu sent the wrong clothes that caused so many things?" Mei Xinger said quickly.
Sister Qu blushed and smiled awkwardly, "I'm going back to make clothes, and there is still one that hasn't been sewn yet!"
"You always speak without going through your brain!" Hyman poked Mei Xinger's forehead helplessly.
Mei Xinger spit out her tongue, "I didn't mean to!"
As soon as Hyman wanted to go back, he saw two people running straight from the street. The one in front of them looked familiar and greeted her from afar, "Sea shopkeeper, I brought you business..."
"Oh, isn't this the big brother who drove the ox cart who came to make clothes two days ago?" Mei Xinger recognized it at a glance.
The driver nodded, "Yes, it's me." He hurriedly pulled a fat middle-aged man who followed him, "This is Uncle Jiang, the big housekeeper of Jiang. When he heard that the sea shopkeeper's clothes were well made, he came to talk about a business with the sea shopkeeper!"
Haiman saw that the clothes worn by Uncle Jiang were quite good. It seemed that Jiangfu should be a large family. This business should not be small. He hurriedly greeted the two people to sit down and asked Mei Xinger to pour tea.
"I don't know who Uncle Jiang is going to make clothes for?" Hyman looked at the unsmiling middle-aged man and asked with a smile.
Uncle Jiang looked at the shop and replied, "I want to make dowry clothes for the young lady in our house."
"Why don't Uncle Jiang take a look at our album first? If you are satisfied, let's talk about it again?" After he said a word, there was no follow-up, so Hyman had to find something to say to him.
Uncle Jiang nodded, looked through the album blankly, and put it back on the counter.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be satisfied, Hyman hurriedly said, "Uncle Jiang, if you think these drawings are not good, I can draw the patterns according to your requirements..."
"Come with me to the house and meet our young lady!" Uncle Jiang stood up from the chair and said blankly.
