Chapter 392 A Big Business
Li Mingxia looked at the clothes in his hand and thought about picking two more for Li Zhengde. Boys grow fast at this age, and the clothes from last year can no longer be worn this year. If he doesn't buy a few more pieces to alternate, it won't be long before Li Zhengde doesn't even have a single piece of clothing to change into.
"We want this one. Pick out two more that he can wear. Then find me a few more clothes that are two sizes larger than what he can wear." Li Mingxia said to the waiter.
Li Sanlang's clothes were all made by Zhang, and several new sets were made a few days ago, so Li Mingxia didn't consider Li Sanlang's clothes today, but she had to buy two more pieces of clothes for Li Zhengde and Li Zhengpin today.
Especially Li Zhengpin. Compared with Li Zhengde, he has very few clothes. Although Li Zhengde goes out every day and is the face of their family in the eyes of outsiders, for Li Mingxia, whether it is Li Zhengpin or Li Zhengde, they are the same.
The young man was laughing so hard that his eyes were almost invisible. The more he sold, the more he could earn. He was so happy to meet a customer like Li Mingxia.
"Miss, Madam, please sit down for a moment. I'll go make you a pot of tea. It takes some time to choose clothes. Let's take our time to look around and choose."
Because the young man maintained this attitude from beginning to end, what he said at this moment did not make people feel uncomfortable, and even Zhang couldn't help but praise him.
"No wonder he can make money. Look at how considerate this guy is. He serves tea and snacks, and his words make people feel comfortable. There is nothing wrong with him except that his clothes are too expensive."
Li Mingxia smiled and nodded in agreement.
What Zhang said was correct, except for one thing: Li Mingxia really didn’t think the clothes here were expensive. At least the finished products were worthy of the price.
Li Zhengpin and Li Zhengde spent a total of sixty taels of silver on buying clothes. Zhang, the two little rascals, and Li Mingyu each bought one piece, spending a total of thirty taels. Li Mingxia originally wanted them to buy more, but after they each picked out one piece, they refused to choose any more. Even the two little maids kept waving their hands, not to mention Li Mingyu. It looked like she would leave if Li Mingxia said another word.
"Miss, do you like anything?" The waiter was very perceptive. Seeing that Li Mingxia had not yet chosen something for her, he smiled and said, "We have a few clothes in our store that are more suitable for you. Would you like to take a look?"
What this means is that this piece of clothing is not cheap.
Since Li Mingxia decided to buy himself something he liked, he would not be stingy with the price and naturally agreed.
When the waiter took out the clothes he mentioned, Li Mingxia's eyes lit up, they were indeed very beautiful!
But the price is indeed not cheap. No wonder it is so beautiful but not displayed openly. If it is accidentally damaged, the loss will be huge.
"This one costs thirty taels of silver, and this one costs forty-five taels. Miss, this one will suit you very well and will absolutely look very beautiful on you." The waiter estimated the price and chose the one that cost thirty taels of silver.
The most expensive piece of Li Zhengde's clothing cost twenty-five taels of silver. They all thought it was very expensive and hesitated to buy it. In the end, it was Li Mingxia who made the final decision and the deal was completed.
The waiter could still see that Li Mingxia had a certain say, but he also heard Li Mingxia say that Li Zhengde was a scholar. Since he was a scholar, in the eyes of the waiter he must be the most honorable person in the family. Even if Li Mingxia had a certain status in the family, he could never surpass Li Zhengde.
That's why the waiter recommended this thirty-liang one to Li Mingxia.
The young man's idea is right and his mind is very active. Such a person must be very good at doing business. Under normal circumstances, this idea is absolutely correct. No matter how powerful Li Mingxia is or how noble his status is, he can only dress a little better than this scholar. If the difference is too big, today's scholars are arrogant and will probably be unhappy.
And think about it, this scholar was so reluctant to buy things for himself, let alone for his sister.
"But I think this one looks better." Li Zhengde said, pointing at the bright red dress that cost forty-five taels of silver.
The embroidery and fabric of that dress were extremely delicate, and the bright red color made people feel warm. Li Zhengde really thought that his sister looked particularly beautiful in red.
"I also think this red one looks good. Let's wear this next summer. We have to wear red during the New Year. It won't be festive if we don't wear red." Zhang also said.
Li Mingxia himself also prefers red, and after hearing everyone say so, he directly chose this one.
"My sister looks good in red. She looks the best in red among all the people I have ever seen." Li Zhengde looked at Li Mingxia and said with a smile.
The young man didn't expect that everyone would oppose the clothes he recommended, and finally chose the most expensive one.
However, I have to say that this red one suits Li Mingxia very well. Although the pattern is a bit complicated, it does not make people feel cumbersome at all, but rather looks very noble.
"Okay, I'll have someone pack up your clothes right away." If we talk about who is in a good mood today, it must be this young man. He has done a good job today, and he should be able to get five or six taels of silver as a monthly salary. This is not a small amount of money. He will definitely have a good year!
Anyone would be in a good mood to think that they can get such a generous monthly salary tomorrow.
The more the waiter looked at them, the more he liked them. After thinking about it, while his men were helping Li Mingxia and the others pack their clothes, the waiter took out a piece of scrap cloth from a bag from under the counter.
"Madam, although these pieces of cloth are in pieces, they are large enough to make shoe uppers or handkerchiefs and purses. If you don't mind, please accept them. I can't say anything else, but they are definitely good materials."
How could she dislike it? Zhang immediately took the bundle of cloth with a smile on her face.
"Thank you, little brother." Zhang knew how good the fabrics here were. Looking at the bundle of fabrics, she turned her head and said to Li Mingyu, "Since you can't live until the first month of the lunar year, you can learn embroidery from Aunt San. Make a few more pairs of shoes for your father, and embroider a few handkerchiefs and purses for yourself. A little girl should dress herself up beautifully."
Li Mingyu looked at the bundle of cloth and nodded happily.
