Rebirth in 1980: The Farm Wife Makes a Comeback
Chapter 443

Chapter 443: Chapter 443

She had been preparing for more than a year and had produced quite a lot of clothes. Jian Zhiqing’s former room had become the bridal room, while her previous one had been turned into a workshop, filled with various fabrics and machines. Since many of her clothes were made entirely by hand, she spent a lot of time grinding away in the system; otherwise, she truly couldn’t have created so many garments in such a short period.

She had also hired two young and beautiful sales assistants, who had undergone extensive training. Here, they had to wear uniforms and were not allowed to wear their own clothes. However, even the uniforms for this women’s clothing store looked much nicer and more fashionable than the clothes sold outside.

A black short blazer with a skirt, paired with a pair of black high heels, inevitably made for an eye-catching outfit. This uniform was specially designed by Qin Xiangnuan, which was very flattering for the figure. The raised waistline created a visual effect of elongating the silhouette and made the legs appear longer. Paired with high heels that boosted height, the outfit emanated a white-collar OL (office lady) vibe rather than that of a restaurant headwaitress.

Jian Zhiqing drove the car and brought the clothes into the store. The car had just been purchased; with the clothing store opening, there would likely be many trips, so it had become necessary mainly for transporting goods.

Qin Xiangnuan and the two employees worked together to hang up the clothes. It was now deep autumn, and the most worn items were sweaters, coats, and other thick, textured clothing.

Thus, this batch of inventory consisted mostly of woolen coats, as well as autumn attire like other overcoats and skirts.

The two employees, one named Li Yuan and the other Zhang Lulu, were both locals from Capital City. The wages Qin Xiangnuan offered were not low, and they even got to wear such attractive uniforms -- frankly, both of them wished they could take these clothes home.

"Where did these beautiful clothes come from? We’ve never seen such designs before," Li Yuan carefully hung the clothes, each one she reluctantly touched. The fabric was soft, the styles unique, and the decorations so exquisite they had never seen them before, especially the outfits the boss had coordinated on the mannequins. A long dress with a pair of black boots, topped with a bright red woolen coat, and a red hat made the look increasingly pleasant to the eye, catching one’s gaze stubbornly.

Another piece was a short sweater paired with loose-fitting pants that had a high waistline, which when worn, elongated the legs, and yet another was a white sweater matched with a plaid long skirt reaching the ankles, plus a light brown scarf, creating a somewhat artistic vibe. This set was suitable for students as well as mature but stylish women.

The clothes on the mannequins, from garments to shoes to scarves, as well as accessories like bags, belts, and sweater chains, all complemented each other beautifully. It is hard to believe anyone would not like such an ensemble.

Women naturally have an irresistible pursuit for clothes and dressing up. Not to mention others, even the two employees were now eyeing the few outfits at the entrance and wanting to claim them as their own.

Of course, Cafe’s women’s clothing was really expensive. Even a simple pair of pants sold for several hundred yuan, and an outfit like the one worn by the model above could cost five or six hundred yuan. They were nice, but indeed, they were too expensive.

"Would anyone buy them, given they’re so expensive?" Li Yuan whispered to Zhang Lulu. Don’t blame her for being so anxious; hanging these clothes felt like handling money itself, as holding the garments in her hands was indeed very expensive, easily costing hundreds of yuan, with the priciest reaching into the thousands.

Where there is selling, there will be buying. Zhang Lulu hung up the clothes one by one without worrying about their prospects.

"Our clothes are different from those sold by other stores. You have to believe in the principle that you get what you pay for."

"What’s so different about them?" Li Yuan wasn’t as smart or quick-witted as Zhang Lulu, and there were things she didn’t know. However, she knew that if she asked Zhang Lulu, she could always get an answer.

"That’s a huge difference," Zhang Lulu said, seeing no one around and the boss absent. She then pulled Li Yuan aside to the dressing room and whispered into her ear, "Our clothes are all one-of-a-kind. The more expensive they are, the fewer there are, and many are pure handcrafted. Naturallly, that adds to the cost, and the material is always top-quality cotton and linen. Don’t be fooled by our young boss’s age; she graduated from Jing University’s design department, and she made all these clothes herself. How could they be the same as others?"

"Who wouldn’t want a unique piece that nobody else has? Expensive items have their reasons. I believe the shop’s business will keep booming. Moreover, our wages are bound to increase year by year. I’m confident about this."

"Really?" Liu Yuan hurried over, examining each piece of hung clothing. These were all made by the boss herself – goodness, how long did it take to make them?

And what Zhang Lulu said was accurate. People are always full of curiosity about new things. Just having opened, Cafe women’s clothing store had already caught people’s attention. There was a discount on all clothes, reducing them to 80% on the first day.

The outfits on the mannequins by the entrance were indeed attractive, practically capturing the heart of every woman who passed by. Anyone who walked by couldn’t help but take a second glance, and those who liked what they saw entered the shop. There were many more attractive items inside, and the clothes, overcoats, pants, and skirts, including coats, could be tried on freely, because, after all, trying them on was free.

Many customers were pleased after trying them on, but the prices were just too high.

Some thought it was too expensive and walked away after a few extra glances; others gritted their teeth and, despite the cost, decided to bleed their wallets dry for an item they adored.

"Three hundred twenty? Why is it so expensive?" A woman glanced at the price tag, unable to contain her shock. Sure, the clothes looked great, but with that amount at other stores, you could buy five or six outfits.

Zhang Lulu spoke with a smile, "Our clothes are all made by hand, not mass-produced on assembly lines. One garment goes through design, creation, ironing, and final touch-ups. So much effort is involved. The piece you’re holding, I can assure you, nobody else outside is wearing it. You don’t have to worry about running into someone with the same outfit. Our clothes not only showcase your taste and character, but also represent your status."

Hearing Zhang Lulu say this, the woman began to waver, torn over whether to buy or not – it was quite the difficult decision.
