Reborn 1980's Petite Wife

Chapter 102 Clothes with Soul
Jiang Shuzhi originally thought that this young man was no more than a laborer.

But when I went to the tailor shop, I saw that he was the only one and there was the little girl just now.

Filled with doubts in my heart, I removed the fabric from the car, but there were still two people in the store.

Jiang Shuzhi couldn't help asking: "Where's the old master in our shop?"

"I'm the old master. What's the matter? You don't think I look like me?" Ai Shan asked sullenly.

"No, no..." It's not like that at all.

Xu Jiaren glanced at Jiang Shuzhi and said: "Working in our shop, the first thing is to keep your mouth tight, and the second thing is to be diligent in your hands and feet. It doesn't matter if you are stupid. The most important thing is that you really like sewing and making clothes. Do you think you can do it?" Are you there?"

"can!"

Jiang Shuzhi nodded without even thinking about it.

Ai Shan is not surprised. Whoever came to apply for the job before answered "Yes?" The result?

He casually took a piece of unused leftover material and handed it over: "You sew this piece of cloth first and have a look. Use the one inside for the sewing machine."

Jiang Shuzhi took the fabric and went into the house.

Aishan usually uses the sewing machine outside because he has to watch the store.

The one inside was just unpacked, without connecting the wires.

"Who is this young man?" Ai Shan asked in a low voice.

"It seems to be the younger brother of the woman who sold the sewing machine last time." Xu Jiaren replied casually.

The last time I sold sewing machines... a mean and tricky face immediately appeared in Aishan's mind.

"That woman's brother!? God! Are you crazy? No, he can't have it!"

"No?...Then you find me a small worker?"

Xu Jiaren pointed to the door calmly with a small face.

The advertisement for the recruitment of small workers has been posted for several days, and two or three people came to try the job, but they were sent away by Aishan before even making it through a day.

It's the end of the year, and it's cold, so it's hard to recruit people.

It's so rare to meet the right person.

Aishan lost his voice, so he had to tidy up the fabrics he bought today.He took out some pieces of gold velvet and satin, and asked, "What do you plan to do with these two pieces?"

"Here—" Xu Jiaren took out her drawing.

Ai Shan took it and saw that one was a Chinese-style double-breasted gown, and the other was a dark green cheongsam.

"I'm going to give this to my grandma. She's pretty and doesn't know how to wear skirts. A satin coat is suitable. I want to give this cheongsam to my future grandma. She has a very good temperament."

Xu Jiaren explained in detail.

"What about the red satin? And this..."

"This is for my mother's wedding dress. I plan to make a Xiuhe or Longfeng gown. I will let my mother choose it by herself."

The mother got married hastily for the first time, and the second time she got married, as a daughter, she must strive for perfection.

"Xiuhe...a dragon and phoenix jacket? What is this? I haven't heard of it." Ai Shan asked a little confused.

Taking a pencil from the table, Xu Jiaren drew a rough outline with a few strokes.

"This dragon and phoenix gown came from the south. It has a double-breasted gown on the upper body and a straight skirt on the lower body. There are dragon and phoenix patterns embroidered on the clothes, so it is named the dragon and phoenix gown. It looks very rich and gorgeous."

"Here, the clothes below are more retro. Compared with the dragon and phoenix gowns, they are a little more restrained and low-key. The skirt is a horse-face skirt as a highlight. This is Xiuhe."

Xu Jiaren briefly explained the difference between the two kinds of clothes.

"You know so much." Aishan sighed after listening.

Where did his boss know this?

He originally thought that her family members were tailors, but after seeing Aunt Zhao and Li Hui, he knew that there was no such possibility.

"Then you should do it well, and I will give you everything I have!" Xu Jiaren patted Ai Shan on the shoulder and said.

Aishan: "..."

"However... there is a problem with the clothes we make." Ai Shan said holding two pictures.

"You said."

"No matter what kind it is, it needs a lot of embroidery, right? I don't know that! Besides, embroidery is really technical work."

Ai Shan thought for a while and picked up the design drawing of the double-breasted gown before, and said: "This dress needs to be buttoned, and it will be very troublesome to make."

"I'll find a way to go."

Xu Jiaren had thought of this a long time ago, so when she heard the two siblings talking in the department store, she immediately asked the young man to come to the store.

However, even if the young man can stay as a small worker, he can only share part of Aishan's work. The embroidery and buttons are still a problem.

"That...it's finished. Take a look..."

As soon as the two had a conversation, Jiang Shuzhi inside took out the scraps that Ai Shan had given him.

Ai Shan took the stitched material and handed it to Xu Jiaren, while he went into the inner room to check the sewing machine.

"Have you practiced before?"

Xu Jiaren looked at the stitched fabric, it was very smooth, and the interlocking edges were all done.

"I have a sewing machine at home. If I have nothing to do, I help my sister make something. I make all the clothes in my house." Jiang Shuzhi said a little proudly.

"Your craftsmanship is so good, how could that master's tailor shop not want you?" Xu Jiaren felt strange.

Jiang Shuzhi knew that the little girl had been standing by the counter, but he didn't know how long she stood there, and how much he had heard from him and her sister, so he simply told the truth.

"I was going to Yuantai Tailor Shop, the one at the crossroads on the corner...Master Wan also agreed. But... Later my sister sold the sewing machine that I promised to Master Wan, and the master was not very happy , found an excuse to confiscate me."

"Forehead--"

No wonder the woman was so excited the last time she bought a sewing machine.

Seeing what the little girl was thinking, Jiang Shuzhi thought she didn't really believe it, so he continued to explain: "The old master at Shangling has many rules for accepting apprentices. Serving tea is a test of the apprentice's loyalty...Master Wan probably thinks that I am not loyal enough, so he rejects me."

After all, Master Wan said hello very early on when he agreed to ask for a sewing machine. Unexpectedly, something went wrong with his sister Jiang Meili.

"I was the one who snatched the sewing machine last time." Xu Jiaren said.

Jiang Shuzhi opened his eyes wide and didn't say a word for a long time.

No wonder my sister was so angry when she saw this little girl.

So she is the "little bastard" that my sister said?
"So... are you sure that your sister won't object to your working here?"

Seeing the boy's expression, Xu Jiaren continued to ask calmly.

When Jiang Shuzhi was hesitating, Ai Shan came out and said, "Beauty, if he is willing to stay, I am willing to take him with me."

"That depends on whether people are willing or not." Xu Jiaren gave Ai Shan a look.

Ai Shan understood immediately, put his arm on Jiang Shuzhi's shoulder, and said: "Brother, if you just want to be a clothes maker, then you can go anywhere. But you want the clothes you make in the future to have a soul, Then I suggest you stay."

"What? Clothes can still have a soul?" Jiang Shuzhi asked in horror.
