The whole family travels through the book, the plot is broken but the characters are not

The garment shop has been renovated. In fact, this shop originally sells cloth, so no major changes are needed. Lu Yanyan only covered the walls with plain brocade, and repainted the floors, counters, tables and chairs. After the renovation, the whole store looks brand new.

Lu Yanyan also asked Tan Mu to make four wooden models, one male, one female, one boy, and one girl. Tan Mu had good craftsmanship and he carved out the facial features of the models, except for the lack of hair, which was perfect.

Lu Yanyan drew the pictures, many of which were based on costumes from ancient costume dramas in previous lives, combined with the characteristics of current clothing. Lan Niang was responsible for embroidery, and Wang Gui was responsible for cutting and sewing, and several sets of samples were made.

In addition to the four sets of clothing on the models, several other sets of women's clothing were made according to Liu Mei's body shape. On the opening day, Lu Yanyan planned to hold a "personal show" for Liu Mei. In addition, two sets of children's clothing were made according to the body shapes of Han Huaian and Han Huaixi.

Men's clothing is displayed on hangers on the wall.

Because there were too few people, Lu Yanyan originally planned to turn the store into a private custom clothing store, but Li Dezhi and Lu Xing both preferred a clothing store for the general public. After discussing with Han Qingyun, Lu Yanyan recruited six more embroiderers and four tailors, including Ma Chao's sister Ma Xiaolei.

Both the embroiderer and the tailor had been assessed by Lan Niang and Wang Gui, and they had good qualifications. With just a few pointers from the two, they made great progress.

Lu Yanyan also rented a three-story courtyard through Li San. The courtyard was very close to the academy and clothing shop for his children, and only a quarter of an hour's walk from Lu's house. The location was very good, and the rent was six hundred taels per year.

After everything was done, Lu Yanyan returned the five hundred taels of silver to Li Dezhi. She was supposed to return it to them when she got the one thousand taels from Han Qingyun, but Li Dezhi asked her to return it to them after everything was done if Lu Yanyan had any left.

In the past few days, posters of Fanghua Garment Store have been posted on the streets and alleys in the south of the city. The clothes on the pictures are all drawn with colored pencils, with beautiful shapes and novel color combinations.

It took Lu Yanyan a lot of effort to get all the colors together with the colored pencils. Unlike the paintings in Mingxianglou which used simple colors, many colors in the clothing pictures needed to be mixed.

There are a lot of watercolor pens in Han Huaixi's space, and the colors are very complete, but Lu Yanyan doesn't dare to use them because she says she doesn't know where they came from.

Finally, cinnabar, realgar, gold powder, gypsum powder and many natural minerals of different colors were ground into powder to make the required pigments.

However, the effect is still very good. The posters are brightly colored and rich, which is rare in this era and very eye-catching.

In addition to the display of special clothing, the poster also stated that a "fashion show" would be held at Fanghua Garment Store on October 12.

Guests who come into the store on the same day can enjoy free tea and the same pastries as "Mingxianglou", and guests who place an order will also receive exquisite gifts.

What is a “fashion show”? The onlookers don’t know, but the people at “Mingxianglou” know it very well.

Nowadays, the shop with the best business in the south of the city is Mingxianglou. It is said that the pastries in Mingxianglou are very delicious. Except for a small number of traditional pastries, most of the pastries cannot be bought outside.

Also, the clothes in the painting are really beautiful. I wonder if they will look as good as finished clothes...

The news that Fanghua Garment Store was about to open quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys.

On October 12, the entrance of Fanghua Garment Store was crowded with people watching the fun.

In the middle of the crowd, a piece of red cloth was laid between the door of the clothing store and the main road, and a young woman with a beautiful face and a graceful figure walked out of the store.

The clothes she wore looked extremely beautiful. It was a long pink shawl skirt with a light goose yellow waistband. The dress was embroidered with peonies that looked so lifelike that they seemed as if they had just been picked and sewn onto the dress.

The woman walked slowly with a gait that they couldn't understand but felt was very graceful, like a lazy cat, showing everyone every detail of her clothes from different angles...

After a while, the woman entered the store and a more beautiful young woman came out. She was wearing a sky-blue long dress with narrow sleeves and a front opening. The woman asked everyone to wait patiently as the fashion show continued.

Sure enough, the woman soon changed into a new ruqun, a lavender ruqun with a light blue long skirt...

In this way, Liu Mei changed into six sets of clothes with unique styles, and each set was met with waves of admiration.

After Liu Mei showed off her last outfit, two beautiful children who looked like fairies came out.

The two children were both about five years old and looked very similar, probably twins. Their skin was whiter than snow and as delicate as a baby's, their eyes were as bright as stars, their high noses and cherry-red mouths made them look so charming.

The two children's striking looks almost blinded everyone to their attire. After the amazement wore off, it was discovered that they were both wearing the same outfit, a style they couldn't even name. The boy had a hundred-leaf blue top, and the outfit was embroidered with bamboo. The boy had a hundred-leaf blue top, and the outfit was embroidered with butterflies...

After the two children entered the store, everyone finally reacted and rushed into the store...

The girls from the Mingxianglou opera troupe who did not need to perform on stage today, as well as the maids from the Lu residence, were brought here by Qin Yuru to help today. They served water and snacks, chatted with the guests, and introduced the situation of the store.

Lu Yanyan brought Wang Gui and the newly arrived embroiderer and tailor to introduce the fabrics used in each piece of clothing and the meaning of the design to the customers, and they were very busy for a while.

Qin Yuru and Lu Xing also took out the brochure to introduce the styles and prices to the customers...

Lan Niang and Xiao Lei did not go out because of the scars on their faces and were afraid of scaring the guests outside. Although Lu Yanyan advised them many times not to take it too seriously, they both preferred to work behind the scenes.

At this moment, Lan Niang was comforting Liu Mei. Liu Mei had just shown off six sets of clothing in one breath, and only after returning to the room did she realize that her legs were weak. She had never been in the spotlight like this before.

Han Huaian and Han Huaixi gave Liu Mei a thumbs-up and praised her softly, "Aunt Liu Mei is the best."

Liu Mei's face flushed with praise. She felt that she was not as good as the two children. Seeing that they were the same as usual after the performance, without any stage fright at all, she secretly decided that she would do better next time.

Because the clothes in Fanghua Garment Store are really novel and beautiful, the tailors have good craftsmanship, and the embroiderers' embroidery skills are even more outstanding, there is an endless stream of customers placing orders.

Almost all the customers today were women, and several newly hired tailors were busy taking measurements for the customers. Since Wang Gui was a man, it was not convenient for him to take measurements for female customers.

It happened that a woman with a little boy asked for the blue bamboo pleated skirt that Han Huaian was wearing.

Wang Gui measured the boy's body, but the woman asked if she could sell the clothes to her alone and she could pay extra.

Wang Gui was stunned for a moment, then realized that the custom-made item his wife had requested was now available. He explained to the woman that they could sell her just one piece for a little extra money, but they couldn't buy out the entire design.

What the twins are showing today is the horse-faced skirt, which is the flagship style of the store. Naturally, the design cannot be bought out at will, but as long as the funds are sufficient, they can make just one piece of clothing with different patterns.

The woman also thought that such a style would soon become popular throughout Los Angeles, so she just had to make sure that the one embroidering the bamboo would only sell it to her.

In fact, there are many people who have the same request as the woman. For them, it is still a good deal to pay an extra twenty to fifty taels to get a piece of clothing with their own style and pattern.

According to the order price, each customer who places an order will receive a "chiffon cake", an embroidered handkerchief, and a round fan as a gift, which satisfies both the buyer and the seller.

We were busy until around six in the afternoon, when it was too dark to see clearly, and the guests left reluctantly.

The orders they received today are enough to keep them busy for half a month. Many people who didn't get in line said they would take a closer look tomorrow before placing an order.
