Daming 1805

Chapter 289 Honorable Miss Daming

The Xianglan couple left with their son and youngest daughter.

The door of Aoxue's room opened.

Aoxue looked outside to make sure there was no one in the house.

Aoxue went to the bathroom to wash her face, and went back to her room to change into a new set of clothes.

She also wore the most expensive pair of socks under the middle skirt.

I put on my makeup in the mirror, and went out to find Dashi Trading Company.

"There are seven silver bills left, which should be enough to order a suit of clothes..."

Dashi Trading Company is the property of Dashi King Zhu Jingyuan. After it opened in Meng County, it directly occupied the best land in the center of the county.

This place occupies a large area, and there are very bright and special signs outside.

There are buses leading to the center of the county from the factory area. The speed is not much faster than horse-drawn carriages and bicycles, but it is cleaner than horse-drawn carriages.

Aoxue quickly found the place by taking the bus.

But he didn't dare to go in directly, but first stood outside and observed it.

At the door of this shop, there are two clerks, a man and a woman, who feel a bit like welcoming guests in front of a restaurant.

None of them are from Daming, and they should not even be from the East.

As for whether it was Persia, Dashi, or even people from Xiyi, Aoxue couldn't tell the difference.

The male clerk is estimated to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, and he is still very slender, and looks smaller than the female clerk.

Coupled with the handsome and delicate face, it feels very girly, just like a little girl.

The female clerk is more mature on the contrary.

The clothes the two of them wore were very similar, both inside and outside double-breasted small gowns, both of which were cut for a slim fit.

Especially the female shop assistant, you can even see the lines of her body from the outside.

The chest is bulging and protruding, the waist is very obviously narrowed inward, and the buttocks below are protruding outward.

On the legs is a pleated skirt similar to a horse-face skirt, but without any embroidery patterns, it uses a woven plaid pattern.

The clothes of the two shop assistants, apart from the different colors, also differ in the length of their skirts.

Men's skirts are so short that they can only cover half of their thighs, while women's skirts barely reach their knees.

There are white knitted stockings on the calves, and the sock tubes are close to the legs, and the lines on the legs are completely exposed.

The leather shoes on the feet are also very strange. The heels are raised by at least five centimeters, and it looks like they are always on tiptoe.

However, in this special posture, their legs look extraordinarily straight and slender.

Aoxue thinks this kind of clothes are very strange, especially the clothes on that female shop assistant.

Although the whole body does not leak flesh at all, the fabric is completely opaque.

But it feels very "saucy".

Aoxue likes this feeling.

Want to try it too.

But at the same time, I also realized that if I put on this kind of clothes, I am afraid that I will be beaten by my mother again.

When Aoxue was standing at the door observing, the two shop assistants at the door also noticed her.

The female shop assistant was watched by Aoxue for a long time, and finally she couldn't help but ask:

"Hello, dear Miss Daming, do you want to order clothes?"

Dear Miss Daming...

This title directly pierced Aoxue's heart.

She simply couldn't resist being called that.

Aoxue immediately walked into the store with her head held high and her chest held high:

"Yes, I'm here to order clothes."

The two clerks immediately bowed and saluted at the same time:

"welcome."

After getting up, the female clerk introduced herself with a smile and said:
"I am Lin Na, clerk No. [-], and I will serve you wholeheartedly. Please follow me."

The clerk Lin Na led Aoxue into the store, and immediately another female clerk came over and waited at the door instead of Lin Na.

After Aoxue entered, she took a look at the situation in the store, and immediately felt a very unique feeling.

The decoration inside the store is not luxurious, it can even be said that there is not much decoration at all.

There are no complicated patterns and carvings, no bright paints and murals.

The walls, seats, windows, and ground are basically solid colors, and most of them are light colors.

But it is very delicate, delicate and graceful, forming a very fresh, elegant and low-key style.

It's like a study room of aristocrats who pursue simplicity and nature, not the lobby of a clothing store in the county town.

Aoxue also likes this kind of feeling very much, it is more stylish than her former master's house.

Sure enough, it is the property of his own lord, and the design of this store is higher than that of the original lord's house.

Aoxue noticed the other shop assistants in the store, four or five of them were wearing clothes similar to Lin Na's.

They stood on both sides of the door, as if waiting to go out to receive guests.

There are also a group of shop assistants standing in front of the various windows, shelves and counters of the shop.

The clothes on the body are different, and it should be to show and introduce the clothes to the guests.

Aoxue saw more "sexy" clothes on a female shop assistant.

The upper body style of a female shop assistant was similar to Lin Na's, but the skirt on the lower body became a "tube".

Put it on the thigh, wrap it around the thigh, the space below is very narrow, it seems that walking is very strenuous.

So even though the dress is completely opaque, you can still see the outline of her thighs.

You can not expose your body at all, and at the same time be as flirtatious as possible.

Aoxue has already liked this style.

In Aoxue's mind, Sao is not derogatory, but a kind of compliment, which shows that she knows how to attract people.

Of course, she would never dare to say such thoughts.

Aoxue pointed to the clerk and asked Lin Na beside her.

"The suit on her is very nice. How much does it cost to make a suit and how long does it take?"

Lin Na kept smiling and introduced:
"This costume was designed by His Royal Highness Prince Dashi himself, and it is one of the first few sets of new Ming-style women's formal attire.

"The production is now scheduled to start, and if there are no problems in the middle, it is expected to be completed within seven days.

"As for the price, according to different materials and matching craftsmanship, the price difference between different grades is very large.

"The most high-end version that our Mengxian store can make requires [-] silver bills to make a complete set.

"The most affordable version, corresponding to the grades of civil servants and company managers, requires [-] silver bills for a full set."

Aoxue's eyes widened when she heard the data.

This amount not only exceeded Aoxue's ability to bear, but also directly exceeded Aoxue's basic cognition.

How could a set of clothes be so expensive?

Could it be that those really wealthy families in Ming Dynasty cost a thousand silver bills to make a set of clothes!

Even if you don't consider this and just look at the lowest style, the clothes of civil servants and managers still cost [-] silver bills!
That was my salary for a month and a half!
Could it be that the simple director Hao in the workshop has all his clothes so expensive?

What Aoxue didn't know was that the local price of clothing stores in Meng County was already [-]% off the price in Taixi.

A set of thirty silver bills here costs at least one hundred silver bills in Taixi, and one thousand here costs two thousand to three thousand there.

Moreover, the Taixi one hundred silver bill version was not made by Dashi Clothing Company itself, but was outsourced to other companies.

Buying the [-] silver note version in the land of Dashi country, but you can get the authentic products of Dashi clothing firm.

Aoxue felt that it was impossible for her to afford such clothes.

No, it should be temporarily unaffordable. With two months of savings and two months of soil, you can afford it.

But definitely can't buy it now.

But her character does not allow her to retreat directly.

But I didn't know what to say, and it seemed embarrassing no matter what I said.

The point is that I have no money...

I really want to be rich...

Just when Aoxue was struggling, Lin Na noticed a small plastic tag hanging on Aoxue's waist and next to her purse.

That's Aoxue's label, and inspections are required when entering and leaving the factory and workshops, as well as clothes purchased from shops in the park.

In addition, Aoxue got used to it after working for a month, and subconsciously hung it on her waist after changing clothes.

I forgot to take it off after leaving the factory area.

Lin Na knew this plastic label, and knew it was the symbol of Mengxian Textile and Garment Industrial Zone.

And knowing that it is also Dawang's industry, the key is that the employees there have special discounts.

So after seeing the label, Lin Na immediately went on to add:

"If you are an employee of the industrial park, you can enjoy special discounts on materials and workmanship.

"Custom-made shirts, coats, skirts, leather shoes, plus collar flowers or ties, the minimum cost of a complete set is only fifteen silver notes.

"In addition, with as little as six silver bills, you can directly purchase a set of standard-sized ready-to-wear.

"A shirt, a coat, and a pleated skirt are all made of stretch silk blended fabric, plus a pair of leather shoes, and a tie or a collar flower will be presented directly.

"However, both discounts do not include stockings, you can go to the store in the park to buy them to match.

"This kind of discount can be enjoyed twice a year, and must be specially applied for and registered..."

Aoxue widened her eyes again.

Surprise!

What is a surprise...

When Aoxue was inquiring about the situation at the factory store, the clerk reminded her that she could get a discount with her work card.

Aoxue didn't pay much attention to this discount at first, and didn't even really want to show the label outside.

When Aoxue realized that the label was still on her body, she was instinctively annoyed and regretful.

But after hearing the discount, I was stunned.

You only need a set of [-] silver bills to order, which is directly discounted in half.

Ready-made clothes can be even cheaper, you can buy a set for six yuan, which is a [-]% discount!
I have seven yuan left in my wages, so I can buy a set, and there is still one yuan left.

The point is, I like to buy ready-made clothes, I don't really like custom-made clothes, and the waiting is too tormented.

The king really takes great care of his employees!

The treatment called employee benefits is really great!
With such a huge discount, Aoxue couldn't hesitate at all.

But Aoxue couldn't help but ask:
"Why are ready-made clothes so much cheaper than custom-made clothes?"

Lin Na immediately introduced:
"The clothes in our store are all completely tailor-made, and the size is required to be very accurate.

"The custom-made price includes the price that the first custom-made is not fit enough, the clothes are completely redone again, and the price is revised three times.

"Equivalent to, you actually use the materials and labor of two sets of clothes to make a suit that fits very well.

"On the other hand, ready-made clothes are ready-made clothes that are mass-produced according to several different levels of standards and fixed sizes.

"This saves the fabric that may be wasted, the key is to omit the measurement and custom-made manual labor, and the cost is also reduced.

"Of course there are disadvantages. Fixing a few levels of size is definitely not as good as completely tailor-made fit.

"When choosing a size, only wear a size with a slightly looser margin."

Aoxue nodded directly:

"I understand the problem of size. I am an employee of a garment factory. Take me to choose clothes."

Aoxue followed Lin Na to the hanger:
"I'm a standard size medium, so the middle coat should be white, the coat should be light green, and the skirt should be darker..."

Lin Na immediately introduced:
"This style of clothes is only available in black, dark blue, and gray. If you like light colors, you can choose gray...

"Or choose the style on me, but the skirt is obviously different, and the upper body is basically the same.

"But there are more colors, and there will be some bright colors, such as pink, red, yellow, and lake green.

"According to the company's instructions, the one on me is suitable for young girls, while the former is suitable for more mature women."

Aoxue was stunned for a moment:
"So, the one on your body is that of an unmarried girl, and the one on your body is that of a married daughter-in-law?"

Lin Na immediately shook her head and said:
"No, there is no such distinction in design, it's just that one tends to be mature and the other tends to be young."

Aoxue thought about it again, and then took a closer look at the clothes on the two shop assistants.

The one with the skirt wrapped around her thighs...although it's really coquettish, I really want it.

But it is indeed too impactful, and wearing it home may really break your leg by your own mother.

The knee-length pleated skirt is milder, and should be able to barely withstand the old lady.

Aoxue convinced herself in her heart:

"Then change it to this one on you..."
