Chapter 166: Just turned ~, and sold the chicken mushrooms
After all, it’s expensive and most people can’t afford it, so knowing it is useless.”
Chen Hui responded casually, observing his surroundings.
The third floor of the department store became a steak restaurant and KTV after more than ten or twenty years, and Chen Hui had been there several times.
It turns out that in the early days, it was a place that provided private customization for wealthy people in the county.
"Yes."
Huang Wenqian didn't think much about it. She just thought that it was normal to be curious since Chen Hui had never been here.
I introduced it to him casually.
The sister Jia Jia she mentioned is named Lu Jia Jia, and she only makes women's clothing.
There is also a master named Zhong on the third floor who specializes in men's clothing. However, he doesn't do hair, he only makes clothes.
Huang Wenqian went up to the third floor while talking, walked to the room at the end of the corridor, knocked on the door and called out, "Sister Jiajia!"
"I'm here!"
"Qianqian, this way."
The door next door was opened, and a young woman with simple clothes but the fabric was of good quality and light makeup on her face stuck her head out and waved at Huang Wenqian.
The tone of voice was as gentle as the soft breeze and drizzle, sounding extremely soft.
"Hey, why are you here today?" Huang Wenqian motioned Chen Hui to follow and walked over happily.
"Arranging some newly arrived fabrics."
"Hey, did you bring your boyfriend here to show me today?" Lu Jiajia looked at them, a happy smile on her face, and joked as she looked at the two of them.
"Sister Jia Jia, please stop talking nonsense! I'm here to introduce a client to you."
"This is one of my brothers! He wants you to make clothes for him." Huang Wenqian said.
"Make clothes?! Why don't you go to Master Zhong to make boys' clothes?" Lu Jiajia was puzzled.
"She's a friend of mine. She needs clothes made, and it would be best if she could get her hair done." Chen Hui took over and explained.
"wait for me a while."
As Lu Jiajia spoke, she took out a large account book, flipped through a few pages and said:
"Hairdressing can be arranged in the next few days. The style of clothes can be decided first and the size can be measured. The earliest delivery will be next month."
"Next month?! Today is only the 20th." Chen Hui was a little surprised.
Such expensive clothes, and yet the business is still so good?
"You have to wait longer when the seasons change. If you come at the end of next month, you may only have to wait three to five days," Lu Jiajia explained.
More than ten days is too long, the daylily has gone cold.
Chen Hui thought about it and decided to sacrifice his reputation and stand up for his friend.
Putting on a smile, he asked in a friendly manner: "Sister Jia Jia, can you expedite it? My friend is in a hurry."
"Why are you calling me sister too?" Huang Wen Qian asked with her head tilted.
"You are about the same age as me. If you call me sister, it should be right for me to call her sister too, right?" Chen Hui asked.
"Who is almost as good as you? I'm only eighteen!" Huang Wenqian was speechless.
"Ah?!" Chen Hui exclaimed in surprise, then forced an awkward laugh.
Instead, it was Lu Jiajia who was covering her mouth and almost fainting from laughing.
After finally stopping laughing, he held Huang Wenqian's shoulders and said, "I'm telling you, this curly hairstyle doesn't suit you. I'll let you do a younger one."
"That's because he doesn't know how to appreciate it. This hairstyle is obviously very youthful." Huang Wenqian was not convinced.
"Sister Jiajia, let's discuss the expedited matter."
"My friend is going to meet a boy she really likes. Blind date suit! She can't wait that long."
"It's a great merit to facilitate a marriage!" Chen Hui changed the subject.
Lu Jiajia did not refuse, but hesitated with her lips pursed. This means there is hope!
Chen Hui took advantage of the situation and added: "We can add more money! How much do you think is appropriate?"
“No extra charge!”
"Everyone is paying the same price, and Qianqian brought you here. Can I negotiate a higher price with you?"
Lu Jiajia waved her hand and rejected the offer of more money.
He sighed, made up his mind and said, "Okay, bring the people over here, I'll work overtime for you at night and make you a set first."
"Sister Jia Jia!" Huang Wen Qian immediately raised her thumbs up to show her support.
"Thank you!"
Chen Hui said with a smile, and suddenly remembered to ask: "How much does it cost to make a set of clothes?"
"It depends on what your friend wants to make and what kind of fabric he wants to use. Different materials and simplicity of style will affect the price," said Lu Jiajia.
"If it's like the one Wen Qian has, how much would a set cost?" Chen Hui asked.
"Her set is about 130 yuan, if I remember correctly."
"."
Chen Hui looked at Huang Wenqian carefully again.
I was careless! So expensive?!
This was 1985!
One hundred and thirty yuan! You can buy a bicycle!
"The materials she used for this outfit are all expensive, and the skirt is all made of mulberry silk, so the finished product will be more expensive."
"The price of a blend of chemical fiber and silk can be cut in half. If you use pure cotton, it should be around fifty."
"If the style is not too complicated, the price is still determined by the material."
Lu Jiajia noticed Chen Hui's shock and immediately explained.
"It's really expensive!" Chen Hui sighed.
"Yes, it's really expensive. I was shocked when her mother said she chose this piece of fabric to make clothes for Qianqian." Lu Jiajia agreed with a smile.
"It was my birthday, and the food I usually make is cheap." Huang Wenqian said.
We agreed to bring someone over in the afternoon to measure the dimensions.
Chen Hui and Huang Wenqian left the department store and prepared to go back to Huang Xiulian's house. Lu Jiajia closed the door and followed them downstairs.
"Sister Jia Jia, you don't have to see us off." Huang Wen Qian said while waving as she walked.
"Just give it a go. I'll go to the bridgehead at the intersection and buy some mushrooms to make fish soup tonight."
"The weather is good these two days. If you find something nice, buy some chicken mushrooms and make them into jerky. I'll share some with you then."
Lu Jiajia hugged Huang Wenqian's arm intimately and said with a smile.
"No need. My mother bought more than ten kilograms to make it. I heard from her that this year's chicken mushrooms are more than three cents more expensive than last year." Huang Wenqian said casually.
"Chicken mushrooms cooked dry? This can be cooked dry?" Chen Hui stopped and asked.
"Yes, after all, chicken mushrooms are delicious but not often available. Although they lose some of their sweetness when made into dried ones, it is still better than nothing." Huang Wenqian said.
"I think other aromas are actually produced in the process of turning fresh mushrooms into dried mushrooms," Lu Jiajia also said.
"Let's go over and take a look." Chen Hui said.
"What are we going to do? How can a man like you do this?"
"Let's go back quickly. I forgot to take out the apple I left on the table."
"If you don't go back, someone will eat you!"
Huang Wenqian rubbed her palms in the air, sounding a little annoyed.
"I don't make dried mushrooms, but I have mushrooms to sell. I went to find out the market price. It's on my way anyway, so I'll just ask and leave." Chen Hui said.
"Do you have chicken mushrooms to buy? How many?" Lu Jiajia became interested.
