Across Ranch Story: Friends of Mineral Town

After Lin Xia left the grocery store with the spinach seeds she had bought, she looked at the time - 11:15 a.m. Hmm~ why don't we go check out the sale first? It's almost noon anyway, so we can plant the spinach in the afternoon!

So Lin Xia happily ran towards Rose Square. When she entered the square, she saw the sales floor set up by Huo An at a glance. The scene was very lively!

The sales floor that Huo An built this time was larger than the one he built last time to sell rain gear. It directly occupied the west side of the square, which was equivalent to half of the square. The long rows of hangers and display cabinets inside were arranged in an orderly manner, which looked a bit messy at first glance.

But when Lin Xia came closer and took a look, she had to praise Huo An's ingenuity. He should have arranged them according to the scenes and categories that might be used in a masquerade, such as fairy tales: Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood, etc., with clothes, shoes and hats for each character, props representing the character, and matching cosmetics, including wigs, beards, noses and other small props.

Dark series: vampires, monsters, knights, etc., even related props such as horses, bats, black cats, etc.; Ancient court series: king, queen, prince, princess, chef, maid, etc.

In addition, Lin Xia also discovered that there was an area full of Chinese characteristics, including characteristic costumes of many different ethnic groups, as well as characteristic costumes of different eras in China. Among the ones that Lin Xia could recognize were several folk Hanfu, several ethnic minority costumes, and various matching jewelry.

Huo An was also very smart in setting up male and female mannequins in each area, so that customers can directly try out the clothing styles they like on the models and see how the finished product will look. The models are all connected to smart programs that can scan their appearance, body shape and other data, so that the finished product that appears after the models put on the clothes will show the customer's own wearing effect.

No wonder Jeff complained that no one had come back for so long! With so many costumes and props, plus the smart models, who would be willing to leave easily? Wouldn't he have to try out all the makeup props that interested him?

Lin Xia slowly moved through the bustling crowd. Seeing that there were relatively few people in the Chinese characteristic area, she went straight over. She didn't know whether the people in the small town had different aesthetic tastes or they didn't know much about China. In Lin Xia's opinion, the clothing here was more in line with her aesthetic tastes and preferences.

Looking at the distinctive costumes on the display racks, which are for different genders and age groups, Lin Xia examined them one by one. She had to say that the workmanship of these clothes was very delicate. Apart from a few sets that were obviously not worn by ordinary people in ordinary occasions, but were particularly suitable for occasions such as masquerade balls where the more exaggerated the better, there were also many simple and fresh clothes that were particularly suitable for daily wear and very interesting.

Lin Xia particularly likes two sets of Hanfu styles from the Ming and Song dynasties. One of them is a top with a skirt. The top has a waist design and the bottom is a pleated gauze skirt. It makes people look particularly slim and ladylike when they wear it.

The other outer coat has a mid-length sleeve design and is knee-length like a skirt with a waist belt. It is paired with white trousers, a pair of mid-calf boots on the feet, and a small cloth bag across the body. The overall look is very cute, and she looks like an ancient female knight, very heroic.

At this time, Huo An came to Lin Xia and asked attentively: "How is it, do you like anything? I'm not bragging, but the clothes I chose are all of very high quality, blah blah..."

Although Lin Xia liked it in her heart, she could tell the current situation after just a few glances. There were many people trying on and matching clothes in other areas, but Lin Xia was the only one who stayed the longest in this area. The others just passed by, glanced a few times, and left without interest.

I feel that people still appreciate more exaggerated makeup props with storylines. As a buyer, the most taboo thing is to let the seller see the extent of your preference, because it is not conducive to bargaining!

Lin Xia said calmly: "It's okay, these clothes are all very fresh and fresh~ I feel like they're suitable for a masquerade~"

"Hey, you don't understand. These clothes have never appeared at a masquerade before. They are the first time this year. As long as you wear them, I guarantee that everyone will be refreshed. And when you say fresh and clean, there are only a few styles. Come and take a look at these sets. They are all royal costumes. Look at the workmanship of these gold and silver threads and these embroideries. They are no worse than the craftsmanship of the oil-paper umbrellas before!"

"I'm afraid the price won't be lower than those oil-paper umbrellas, right?" Lin Xia's leisurely voice made Huo An stop his endless recommendations.

Finally Huo An sighed and said, "Ah~ I thought that since those oil-paper umbrellas were so popular last time, these embroidered clothes full of oriental magic skills would also be popular this time. As a result, these people have a special liking for those heavy prince, princess, and vampire costumes. I am also heartbroken..."

Lin Xia didn't sympathize with him: "But aren't these clothes they like also sold by you? You're making a lot of money!"

Huo An: "You don't understand this. Hey, those clothes are sold everywhere. Not to mention mine, even the ones they prepared in previous years were of this type. I just increase the styles and colors for them to choose from. If I can further develop the clothing market in China, then this piece of cake will be mine. Moreover, the gold content of the clothes here is quite high~" In other words, the selling price is very expensive, and it is very profitable!

After Lin Xia finished looking at several styles of Hanfu for young girls, she began to look at the men's clothing with great interest. They were also very good-looking, including the scholar's outfit, the woodcutter's outfit, the swordsman's outfit, and the Jinyiwei outfit of the flying fish style. They were so handsome!

After looking at the clothes, Lin Xia looked at the matching makeup props, various wigs, eyebrows, beards, as well as various wrinkle stickers, beauty spots & matchmaker spots?

In short, Lin Xia was amazed and kept trying out various props on the model's face. Huo An saw that Lin Xia was having fun in this area and asked happily, "How many pieces are you going to buy? Buy more and I'll give you a discount!"

Lin Xia: "I only have one body, how many pieces can I buy? I only need one set for a masquerade, right~"

Huo An also knew this. It wasn't that the clothes from other regions would definitely be sold out, but the several sets of high-standard royal costumes that he had bought at a high price were about to fall into his hands. These clothes were different from other things and would be out of season.

In fact, Lin Xia felt that if she were to attend a masquerade ball, she would still have to pick out a set of costumes that were either grand or exaggerated. As for the various fresh and fresh things she liked, if the price was not expensive, she could buy them and wear them on a daily basis. She had to wear them to show her feeling and her characteristics. But there was no need to tell Huo An these!

"Huo An, these makeup props are very interesting. Are they given as gifts when you buy clothes? Or do I have to buy them separately?"

Huo An looked at what Lin Xia pointed at and said, "Originally, it was a matching set of clothes, and each set could get a free styling prop, but the clothes in this area~ How about this, if you buy 2 sets of high-end clothes, I will give you one of all the styling props here for free, how about it?"

Lin Xia: "You think too highly of me. Your high-end clothes are not cheap. How can I afford them?"

Lin Xia was not talking nonsense. The costumes Huo An mentioned were expensive. The matching capes, boots, headdresses, etc. were also very textured. They were not cheap if bought separately, let alone as a set! Besides, if you attend a masquerade, you can only choose one set at most. Do you want two sets to save for next year?

This guy will definitely have a new style next year, what should I do?

Seeing that Lin Xia was unhappy, Huo An gritted his teeth and said, "How about this, if you pick two sets, I'll give you a 8% discount. As for other clothes, if you like them, I'll give you discounts too!"

"Tell me the price of these clothes first!"

"Hehe, the materials of these clothes are really rare, so I won't make a random offer. This set of princess clothing includes lining, outer shirt, cloak, boots, whip, etc., a full set of 12 pieces, the price is 6.8G; this set of prince clothing, a full set of 9 pieces, including a jade flute, the price is also 6.8G; and this side of the princess clothing, a full set of 12 pieces, including a round fan inlaid with gold and jade, the price is 7.8G..."

Lin Xia: ... How come this price includes 8?
