The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 219 Preparing for Mass Production of Garments
Three days later, Lin Qingqian had already drawn a part of the ready-to-wear styles. She happily put away the paper and said, "Chun Xia, let's go, let's go to Yue Lai Fang."

Chunxia and Qiudong frowned at the same time.

"Miss, are you still going?"

Qiu Dong said: "If it is discovered that Miss sneaked out of the house, the old lady will definitely punish you."

"No, I will come back as soon as possible this time, Chun Xia, let's go."

Chun Xia had no choice but to grit her teeth and follow Lin Qingqian out of the house.

Qiu Dong worriedly watched the two disappear at the gate of Liuyuan.

When Lin Qingqian came to Yuelaifang, the shopkeeper Li saw her and said with a smile, "Miss, you are here."

Lin Qingqian nodded, and glanced around. Compared with when she came a few days ago, she looked completely new, and the cleaning was clean and tidy. Even Shopkeeper Li, who was downcast at first, was now smiling and radiant. up.

Lin Qingqian asked: "Master Li, did you find the tailor I asked you to find?"

"Miss Hui, I found the little one, you go to the inner hall and sit down and have a cup of tea, the little one will let them come to see the young lady."

"it is good."

Lin Qingqian followed behind shopkeeper Li, opened the curtain and entered the inner hall. The inside is quite spacious, it should be used to store cloth or ready-made clothes.

Not long after Lin Qingqian sat down, shopkeeper Li led two middle-aged women in.

Shopkeeper Li introduced: "Miss, this is Sanniang, and this is Xianglian, both are excellent tailors."

Shopkeeper Li said to them again: "This is Miss."

Sanniang and Xianglian slightly bowed their knees to salute, and shouted: "Miss."

Lin Qingqian nodded slightly, and said: "Don't stand still, sit down, and let me talk to you about the styles of these clothes, and see if you can make them."

"Yes, ma'am."

Lin Qingqian took out the paper of the style of the clothes he had drawn, and put them in front of Sanniang and Xianglian. The drawings were drawn in great detail, including patterns and embroidery on the clothes. Clear, also colored with paints for painting.

"Let's take a look first. If there is anything you don't understand, you can point it out, and I can explain it to you."

Sanniang and Xianglian looked at it, and they both showed surprised expressions at first glance.

The two have been tailors for more than ten years, but it is rare to see such exquisite clothes that are different from the previous clothes, but judging from the blueprints, the clothes they made must be good.

……

After nearly an hour, Sanniang and Xianglian asked everything they didn't understand, and said: "Miss, please rest assured, we will definitely make the ready-made clothes as soon as possible in these two days."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Lin Qingqian looked at shopkeeper Li and said, "You must choose good fabrics, do you understand?"

"Miss, please rest assured."

Sanniang asked Xianglian to leave with the blueprints, Li Zhang smiled at the cabinet and said: "Miss, after the ready-made clothes are made, the guests who came here will be happy to see them, and then let us make the clothes."

Lin Qingqian focused on the cloth placed beside her, and asked, "Master Li, I asked you to bring in more cloth. Is this enough to make ready-made clothes?"

"Miss, don't worry, it's enough. Cloth can be bought in the cloth shop at any time. As long as a customer likes the style of the ready-made clothes and asks us to make clothes, the small ones will go to the cloth shop immediately."

Only then did Lin Qingqian realize something belatedly.

Is it different from the operation of a modern clothing store?
"Shopkeeper Li, are you saying that a customer chooses a style of ready-to-wear that he likes, and then he starts making clothes? Don't you just make the clothes and sell them directly?"

Shopkeeper Li said: "Because everyone's body shape is different, the clothes are prepared in advance, and many of them don't fit. Many customers only ask for tailor-made clothes after seeing the style they like, so that the clothes will fit well."

"Then why are there so many ready-made clothes backlogged before?"

Shopkeeper Li smiled ashamedly and said: "It's all ready-made clothes that are made for customers to see the style. Although occasionally a customer will buy one, the backlog has increased over the years. Seeing that the small ones have been losing money, they want to try their luck. See Can it be sold?"

Lin Qingqian frowned, and suddenly remembered that there were no sizes for clothes in ancient times, and there were very few merchants who directly sold ready-made clothes.

She rubbed her chin and muttered to herself: "No, everyone has to be tailored, isn't it all custom-made, it's a waste of time..."

Lin Qingqian thought for a while, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Shopkeeper Li, find a few women with different shapes, measure them for them, and make clothes according to their measurements."

Shopkeeper Li didn't know, so he said: "Miss, you want to..."

Lin Qing smiled and said: "There will always be people with similar body shapes who make clothes suitable for various body shapes. When they come to buy, they only need to choose the style they like, and then choose the clothes that suit their size. Wouldn’t it save a lot of time and effort if we could buy it back directly without us having to tailor it for everyone?”

"Miss is right!"

Shopkeeper Li suddenly thought of something, and turned to worry: "But what if the ready-made clothes cannot be sold, then..."

The corners of Lin Qingqian's mouth raised a nice curve, and his black and white eyes were full of confidence: "Don't worry! I can definitely sell it! And it's sold out!"

Shopkeeper Li hesitated for a moment, seeing with his own eyes that Lin Qingqian sold all the ready-made clothes that had been accumulated for many years, he said, "Yes, miss, I will go buy more cloth tomorrow."

"Well, we need to find a few more skilled tailors."

Since mass production is required, manpower is naturally indispensable.

"Yes, ma'am."

After finishing the order, Chun Xia couldn't help urging: "Miss, we will be out for almost three hours today, let's go back home."

"Well, let's go back."

Lin Qingqian said to Shopkeeper Li, "I'll come back in two days."

Shopkeeper Li said: "Yes, Miss, go slowly."

Lin Qingqian and Chun Xia came out of Yue Lai Fang, and saw three or five women gathered around, shouting excitedly in a low voice, "Look, it's Young Master Rong, I just saw him, he looks really good..."

"Yeah, I have never seen such a handsome man..."

Curious in Lin Qingqian's heart, she stopped and looked towards the Yanyu Pavilion opposite.

She saw a carriage slowly driving away from the entrance of Yanyu Pavilion, and she could only see a fat middle-aged man in brocade clothes and a tall red figure from his back.

Lin Qingqian's eyes were attracted by the man in red.

His long black hair was also tied loosely with a red ribbon, half loose on his back. His steps were unhurried, his red clothes were flamboyant and coquettish, but his whole body exuded a sense of laziness.

Seemingly noticing that someone was looking at him, he paused and turned his head slightly.

Lin Qingqian could vaguely see the silhouette of the man in red. Just this blurred outline was enough to suggest that... this face must be extremely handsome.

Just when Lin Qingqian was secretly expecting the man in red to turn around, he continued walking, and disappeared from her sight together with the back of the middle-aged man.
