Chapter 145 Xueru Silk Shop
Chen Xueru was a little surprised when she heard this.
but.
Still nodded and said:
"Tell me what you want. As long as we can do it, we will definitely try our best to satisfy you."
Jiang Bo nodded.
"I want to make a quilt cover that is similar to a pocket, covering the entire quilt, and then making a row of hidden buttons on the side."
"For the quilt cover, use the same fabric as the bed sheet."
"Then I'll make two more pillowcases, in envelope style..."
Jiang Bo gestured with his fingers and explained something to Chen Xueru.
But he saw her looking at him with a confused look.
quilt cover?
pillowcase?
What is this?
Chen Xueru has never seen it.
Jiang Bo was helpless.
Pick up a pen and paper from the counter next to you.
Started drawing on paper.
With just a few simple lines, I can outline my ideas.
When Chen Xueru saw it, her eyes lit up.
She seemed to have heard her father mention it when she was little.
There was a thing that was popular in some Western-style houses before, which seemed to be similar to what Jiang Bo painted.
Chen Xueru picked up the drawing and said:
"Yes, it is much more convenient to disassemble and wash it this way."
"that is……"
It just costs some materials.
Moreover, the bed sheets Jiang Bo chose were made of silk.
He just said that.
This is called a "quilt cover" or a "pillow cover", and it should also be made of the same material.
How much material is needed?
However, this was not within her consideration.
The more fabric she used, the better her business became.
Are there any customers who complain that they want too much?
She said quickly:
"Nothing, we can do it!"
"If you're sure you want it, order it today. You can pick it up in two days."
"I'll calculate for you how much cloth you'll need in a moment."
Chen Xueru continued:
"Don't worry, my silk shop has been open on Qianmen Street for decades."
"Not a cent of extra fabric will be wasted."
Jiang Bo nodded.
"You do it first. If it's good, I'll order another set."
Chen Xueru smiled even more happily when she heard this.
"okay!"
"Don't worry, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
Chen Xueru calculated the dimensions herself. She didn't even use an abacus, but calculated the amount of cloth needed clearly by mental arithmetic.
"It'll take about 25 feet."
Chen Xueru gave a number.
When the news came out, she was a little worried.
25 feet of cloth. Even if the young man could afford it, could he have so many cloth coupons?
You have to know that in that era, cloth coupons were also distributed according to the number of people in the household.
Each person only received 13 feet 6 inches of cloth coupons per year.
To make this, he would need to use cloth coupons equivalent to an adult's two-year supply.
So, when Chen Xueru reported the number, her heart sank.
She was mentally prepared.
The young man in front of me probably has no plans for success. He came to the store to make things on a whim.
Now that he heard that so much fabric was needed, he would definitely turn around and run away.
I guess I've been busy in vain for half a day.
"If you really like the pattern of this silk, why not make a bed sheet first?"
"Or a pillowcase will do. Pillowcases use less fabric, so I'll have the tailor make one for you today!"
Chen Xueru said.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Bo waved his hand:
"No, just make one set."
As he spoke, he took out a stack of cloth coupons from his pocket.
He took out two ten-foot notes and one five-foot note and handed them to Chen Xueru.
Chen Xueru looked at the stack of cloth coupons in his hand.
All looked silly.
However, she reacted quickly.
He went to the counter, started counting on his abacus, and then quoted a price.
"I'll give you a 50% discount on the processing fee."
"Please always take care of our business in the future!"
Jiang Bo paid the bill without saying a word.
This caused Chen Xueru to guess his identity.
Such a handsome young man is also so "extraordinary".
I don't know what job he does.
Or, what does the family do?
Most families only make new quilts when they are getting married.
Could it be that he is getting married?
That's really a pity.
If not, Chen Xueru actually has some ideas.
"He is much better than that Fan Jinyou."
"The guy Xu Huizhen found is not even worthy of carrying his shoes."
Jiang Bo paid the bill and looked at the sample clothes hanging in the tailor's room.
He didn't notice Chen Xueru's psychological activities at all.
He pointed to the sample clothes and asked:
“Can you make all these ready-made clothes?”
Chen Xueru looked in the direction of his finger.
He was referring to a row of brightly colored bragi.
This type of bragi became popular four or five years ago.
In that era, the Soviet Union represented advanced culture, and the "bragi" worn by Soviet female experts in China was the first choice to emulate at the time.
However, Jiang Bo knew that Sino-Soviet relations would soon deteriorate.
The term "Braji" will also disappear from the stage of history.
It is now called a dress.
In fact, in later generations, dresses have always been worn by many young girls.
From Jiang Bo's aesthetic point of view, the styles of these sample clothes are still a bit old-fashioned.
"If I want to customize one, but based on this style, I can make some adjustments and changes."
“Can you make it according to my requirements?”
When Chen Xueru heard that he wanted to customize a dress, she felt disappointed.
I guess he has a partner.
She readily agreed:
"No problem. Our tailoring skills are top-notch in the entire North City."
"I'm not bragging, but if our store can't do it, you won't find another store in the entire North City that can do it."
Then, he asked tentatively:
"Why, are you planning to order a set for your girlfriend?"
Jiang Bo shook his head.
Chen Xueru immediately felt excited.
However, before she could be happy for long, she heard Jiang Bo say:
"I'm planning to make one for my fiancée."
The small flame that had just started was extinguished in an instant.
Chen Xueru had never been so disappointed.
"You're...getting married, haha, congratulations."
Jiang Bo asked: "When can I get the quilt and the four-piece suit?"
Chen Xueru finally came to her senses and asked in confusion, "Four...four-piece set?"
Jiang Bo slapped his forehead:
"Uh, just the duvet cover, pillowcase and sheets."
Chen Xueru: "You can pick it up the day after tomorrow morning!"
"I'll make it for you quickly and ask the tailor to make your set first."
That's what it says.
In fact, now is the off-season for silk shops.
No one is buying fabric to make clothes.
Jiang Bo nodded:
"Then I'll come to pick it up the day after tomorrow."
"Bring my fiancée when the time comes, and you can measure her size."
Chen Xueru agreed immediately:
"Okay, no problem."
She watched Jiang Bo's back as he left.
I was very curious about what this lucky girl looked like.
……
Siheyuan.
Jia family.
Jia Zhang came back from outside with a hunched back.
There was no one in the house.
"Where have you been running off to again, you little bitch!"
She took a teacup while cursing, and moved to the stove with the support of her old waist, intending to pour some water to drink.
I picked up the kettle and found it was empty.
She couldn't help but feel angry.
Slam the kettle onto the stove.
At this moment.
Qin Huairu came in from outside carrying a basin of clothes.
