Chapter 85: 85 Chapter Consignment
Yue Xiaofang watched endlessly, her timidity growing by the minute, feeling a strong impulse to turn around and flee.
“Let’s just forget it, they definitely won’t appreciate my craftsmanship.”
Yue Jiannan said helplessly, “Sis, now that we are here, we should at least walk around, otherwise, how will we explain to mom when we go back?”
Yue Xiaofang pursed her lips tightly, ultimately not wanting to disappoint Lin Chunju, “Well… let’s just take a look first.”
Yue Qingqing blinked her eyes, but was very interested in another matter, “Auntie, what is the mainland?”
In those hawking calls, at least four or five claimed to have newly imported clothes from the mainland.
To the people of Daye Village, the city was already an impressive place, but from the way these people described it, the mainland seemed to be even more superior?
Yue Xiaofang did not brush her off, and explained patiently, “The mainland refers to some coastal cities in the south, which are more developed and wealthy, and many fashionable things originate from there.”
Yue Qingqing nodded her head, seemingly understanding.
It turned out there were skies beyond skies.
Yue Jiannan remarked with emotion, “In past years, buying things always required this coupon or that coupon, but now you can basically buy everything with money, and there are more styles than before.”
Yue Qingqing looked around, and noticed that the clothes sold here were indeed very nice-looking.
The people of Daye Village mostly wore dark-colored clothes, afraid of getting them dirty during everyday work.
Occasionally there were new clothes with colors, but they were bright red or green, as though wanting to be seen from a distance, which was really hard to appreciate for their taste.
Yue Jiannan walked ahead with Yue Qingqing and Yue Xiaofang at an unhurried pace, occasionally being stopped by someone.
“The little girl is so pretty, won’t you buy her a dress?”
Yue Jiannan waved his hand, and the other party, after sizing up his attire, did not persist but looked at Yue Qingqing with pity.
Such a pretty child, but you can tell at a glance that she’s from a rural area.
Yue Jiannan walked around and Yue Xiaofang pointed out one of the stores.
“It seems that shop has the most foot traffic.”
Yue Jiannan was indeed looking for the busiest shop, and once he found the target, he immediately led them inside.
The shop was bustling with activity, but the shop owner brightened when she saw Yue Qingqing and personally attended to them.
“Are you buying clothes for the child? She really looks lovely, how did she grow up to be ?”
Yue Jiannan smiled proudly, though he was accustomed to the villagers admiring Qingqing’s beauty, hearing the city folks praise her sounded particularly pleasant.
Fortunately, he also didn’t forget the main purpose, “We’re not buying clothes for now, mainly wanting to ask if it’s possible to consign goods here.”
The shop owner frowned, “This is a ready-to-wear store, selling branded merchandise, I don’t sell homemade items.”
Being sharp in business, she almost immediately noticed that this family wasn’t wealthy; had it not been for the child’s attractiveness, she wouldn’t have attended to them personally.
The shoes and clothes made in their rural home were not only simple in design but also mostly rough.
She had a wide client base and many returning customers—why would she do something that undermines her own reputation?
But before she could finish, when she saw the items Yue Xiaofang brought out from the cloth bag, her eyes couldn’t look away.
“Did you make all these?”
The craftsmanship was much better than she had expected!
