Chapter 1120 80 Little Stutterer Pork Shop 15
However, they also said that Lingyao would have to pay extra for this design, since it was much more complicated than the usual custom-made designs and would take longer to complete.
Lingyao had no objection to this, paid a deposit of two yuan, and made three sets of design drawings. Two identical pieces were made for each set, for a total of six pieces of clothing. The labor cost for each piece of clothing was one yuan, and the fabric used was taken from Qiansibao.
There are four pieces in total, one of which is white fabric that feels as soft as touching a cloud.
The purple silk fabric was as smooth as flowing water, along with a piece of pink wool and a piece of light blue denim.
Lingyao handed four bolts of cloth to Lin Huiwen, who had been making clothes for many years. Master Lin took the cloth in his hand, and after rubbing it between his fingertips a couple of times, his pupils dilated slightly as he looked at Lingyao and asked a question.
"Girl, where did you get this fabric? How come the material is so good?" She noticed it was unusual at first glance when she took Lingyao out.
The white fabric was pure and beautiful, unlike ordinary white fabrics, which are either too white and make people look extremely dark, or some fabrics that have a slight yellowish tint.
For some reason, the fabric she was wearing looked like a warm white, like milk, but not too white.
And that pink one, many people still dress in black, white and gray. Firstly, in the past, people were poor, and black, white and gray fabrics were cheaper and more resistant to dirt.
Another reason is that most people nowadays have a yellowish skin tone, so wearing brightly colored clothes doesn't look good.
Moreover, while colors like yellow and pink are popular among young women, most fabrics these days have rather tacky hues, unless they're from very expensive clothing stores.
Not to mention the denim fabric, Lin Huiwen had never seen such youthful light blue denim before. It made her want to ask Lingyao to buy a piece of fabric to make a pair of jeans for her best friend.
So she asked Lingyao where the fabric came from, saying that if she wanted to buy some, she would buy one to try.
When Lingyao said that someone else gave it to her, she didn't dare to ask any more questions after hearing this answer.
She couldn't help but touch the fabric in her hands, and thinking about the design sketch the girl had given her, she was suddenly filled with energy. She could already imagine how beautiful the finished clothes would be; she estimated that even the clothes sold in state-run department stores wouldn't be as beautiful.
After resolving the matter, Lingyao returned to the guesthouse, only to find Chen Ping'an waiting at the door.
Chen Ping'an was holding something in his hand and standing at the entrance of the guesthouse, looking up at his surroundings from time to time.
When he looked up this time, he saw Lingyao walking towards him.
Lingyao walked over to him and looked at the bag he was carrying.
"what happened?"
Chen Ping'an handed her the things he was carrying. These were pastries he had bought that day at the state-run department store with ration coupons and money, including glutinous rice strips and sponge cakes.
He didn't know what she liked to eat, so he bought what the shop assistant recommended. Chen Ping'an had never eaten it before and didn't know if it was good or not, but it smelled quite delicious.
"Thank you for helping me these past two days. When we go back today, do you need any help at your home?"
Chen Ping'an spoke this long sentence in fits and starts. He doesn't like to talk most of the time, and when he has to speak, he keeps it as short as possible.
Because I'm afraid that if I speak in long sentences or take too long to pause, people will get impatient.
He was also lowering his head unconsciously as he spoke, afraid that Lingyao would find him impatient.
But she didn't. Instead of impatiently interrupting him, she waited until he finished speaking before taking the things he was carrying.
Then he replied, "No need, you just take care of your family. I'll be back in two days."
I made an appointment with Master Lin today. She will work hard to finish the garment in the next two days, and I will pick it up the day after tomorrow.
Lingyao plans to make the clothes and sell them. Later, she will go to the black market to sell a pearl necklace she already owns to raise her first pot of gold. With start-up capital, things will be much easier.
As for Chen Jianping at home, she had already bought food and vegetables before leaving, and gave him a dollar separately to spend.
Chen Jianping was already good at cooking and didn't need anyone to take care of him at home. Now he actually received a dollar from Lingyao, whereas he had never received a penny of pocket money before.
While some children might occasionally eat a two-cent candy or popsicle, he had never eaten one.
He was overjoyed when Lingyao gave him a dollar; he didn't need anyone else to worry about him.
Chen Ping'an nodded, and after exchanging a few more words, Chen Ping'an hurried back to the hospital to pick up Grandma Chen and catch his ride home, so he said goodbye first.
Chen Ping'an originally intended to stay in the hospital for a couple more days, but Grandma Chen was quite unwell yesterday. For some reason, she was very energetic when she woke up today, and even the doctor said that her condition had improved a lot.
In addition, Grandma Chen insisted that she had recovered and wanted to go home to recuperate. When the old lady made a fuss, she was no different from an eight-year-old child.
In the end, Chen Ping'an couldn't persuade Old Madam Chen otherwise, so he had no choice but to agree.
Chen Ping'an returned to Jianghe Village by carriage. After Ling Yao finished eating, she went to the black market first, intending to sell a pearl necklace she had taken from the treasure box.
As a result, the idea of getting rich kept shouting in his mind: "No, no, no! This pearl is so valuable, it won't fade or deform even after being worn for thousands of years... How can you sell it for such a low price of just a few dozen dollars!"
Lingyao: "Then you can buy it for a thousand."
No matter how precious something is, it depends on whether it fits the market at this time and whether anyone is willing to buy it. Even if this pearl is a celestial artifact, the kind that is worth a fortune in the cultivation world, here, no one who knows its value will use it.
That means it can only be sold for the price of a pearl necklace, at most a pearl necklace of excellent quality.
However, Lingyao ultimately decided not to sell the pearl necklace cheaply, as the price in this town was too low. She would wait until they arrived in the provincial capital before deciding on the dress.
Two days later, Lingyao appeared at Master Lin's tailor shop right on time. When Master Lin saw Lingyao, he was a little dazed; it seemed like this girl had become much fairer in just two days...
This thought intensified after Lingyao changed into the custom-made clothes.
It's completely changed...
Lingyao first tried on a purple sleeveless top with a high neckline. The neckline was covered with layers of ruffles that cascaded down to her chest, making it a very stylish and complex design element.
Purple clothes always look mature, but Lingyao added a flower made of the same silk fabric to the left shoulder of the neckline of the clothes. Two ribbons hung down and fluttered playfully in the air, adding a touch of girlishness. Below were the dark jeans she was originally wearing.
Her exposed arms were long and fair, and coupled with her cool and beautiful face, she looked stunning even in this casual outfit, without any other makeup or styling.
