Chapter 281: The Little Soldier Seeks the Forest 287
When Zhou Cheng heard Zhang Yaowen mention his name, he looked up at them.
Although he remained silent and immersed in the world of books, he was always paying attention to the movements around him.
Brother Zhang didn't want to go shopping, so they wanted to push him out, but he didn't feel like shopping either.
Yun Tutu glanced at Zhou Cheng, shook his head and said, "I can actually do it alone. If you are worried, you can ask Master Liang to arrange some help."
Yun Tutu was afraid that shopping with such a blockhead would affect his mood.
This person followed them for a few days, but she could still recall everything he said.
Zhang Yaowen glared at Zhou Cheng, but didn't force Yun Tutu. They had always been there for her in the real world before, and he was worried about handing Yun Tutu over to a stranger. "Then let this guy stay here, I'll go with you. I heard that the custom-made clothes are quite famous at that time, I'll order a cheongsam for my wife."
Yun Tutu was full of frowns. If it was customized, it would definitely take time. It couldn't be bought just by shopping.
Their return date and itinerary are uncertain, so it's not suitable for customization, but she didn't say that.
But those shops might also have ready-made ones in the right size. Thinking of this, she was also a little tempted...
The two of them said hello to the mansion's steward and walked out of the door without waiting for him to notify Master Liang.
The butler was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He had already instructed the distinguished guests to be taken good care of. The streets were in chaos at the time, and he would not be able to complete his mission if they were bumped into by those blind people.
The butler had no reason to stop the man, so he could only turn around and run to the main courtyard next door. He had to report to the master, and before leaving, he did not forget to tell a few servants to follow him.
Looking at the few followers following behind, Zhang Yaowen smiled and shook his head, but did not stop them. In this unfamiliar place, these people might be able to play a role.
He stretched out his hand and called the servants who were following him from a distance, asking them to take him directly to the bustling street market.
The servants did not dare to delay and led them towards the nearest street, and of course did not forget to send someone back to inform them.
The sea city at that time was still very distinctive. Many women were wearing cheongsams and swaying gracefully on the streets. Some men of more status wore suits and looked much better in spirits than those in the small towns they had passed through along the way.
Moreover, these people all have confident smiles on their faces and their heads are always held high. They must be from families with some assets or some status.
Yun Tutu, wearing a well-fitting dress, long wavy hair and fair skin, was more attractive than those ladies dressed up as she walked on the street, and passers-by kept looking back at her.
Zhang Yaowen, dressed in a neat suit, followed Yun Tutu quietly, with a long line of servants following behind him, which attracted more attention.
Yuntutu had long developed a thick skin and didn't care about the looks of these people. He looked at the surrounding shops and passers-by with interest, and sometimes he would stop to look when he saw something interesting.
This scene caused passers-by to speculate, thinking that this might be another young lady who had returned from abroad, and that everything she saw here was strange.
Yun Tutu didn't care that she was just a spectacle in the eyes of others, and walked into the cloth shop nearby.
In the past, custom-made clothes came from these shops. If you could pick good fabrics, you might be able to have them made in a very short time.
Seeing Yuntutu and his group coming in, the shopkeeper smiled particularly warmly, "Miss, what do you need?"
Yuntutu glanced at the shopkeeper. If someone called her "Miss" in the future, it would be really offensive. But when in Rome, follow the local customs. This is a respectful title.
"Boss, do you have ready-made clothes for sale?"
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then immediately said with a smile on his face, "We don't sell ready-made clothes in our shop, but we can make custom clothes. If you like a piece of cloth, we have a master craftsman who can tailor it to your size."
Everyone's body shape is different, so if the product fails, they will lose money.
And the style is changing with each passing day, so there is no need to take the risk.
"I see. How long does it take to make a set of clothes?"
"It would take at least a day and a night at the fastest," the shopkeeper thought for a moment, "but this is not cut by a master chef. If it needs to be cut by a master chef himself, it would take three to five days."
Yuntutu looked around the counter. There were quite a lot of varieties of fabrics here. She pointed at the brightly colored fabrics and asked, "Are these all silk?"
"Miss, you have a good eye. These are purchased from Su City. They are the latest styles this year. They are most suitable for making cheongsams. These colors are suitable for you. How about taking them out for you to have a look?"
Yun Tutu pointed at some of the fabrics with great interest, "Then let me see them all."
There are two with bright colors, and there are also a few with more mature and plain colors.
The shopkeeper asked the waiter to step aside and started working on it himself. "Miss, you have a good eye. These are all new styles. Whether you make them for yourself or for your family members or elders, they are all excellent choices..."
As the shopkeeper, selling products was easy for him. While introducing the products, he paid attention to Yun Tutu's expression. As long as Yun Tutu stayed on a piece of cloth for a while, he would introduce it in more detail.
Zhang Yaowen, who was standing by, sighed in his heart that it was true that people love what they do and there are talented people in every field.
No wonder the other party could become the owner of a cloth shop, he also has his strengths.
Not to mention Yun Tutu, even he who was listening beside was particularly moved, staring at the pieces of cloth with a keen look in his eyes.
It would probably look great if my wife or daughter wore it.
Yun Tutu was very satisfied with the shopkeeper's attitude, and the other party also provided service. Anyway, a transaction had to be completed, so the big spenders ordered two sets each. After asking about the price, she knew that she could also ask the master embroidery worker under her to make it overnight, so she just threw a gold cake and attached Zhang Yaowen's bill, and she could get the goods directly the next day.
Faced with such a straightforward employer, the shopkeeper happily cut the cloth and immediately called the chef to start measuring the size.
As for the sizes of the other people who did not arrive at the scene, the master also gave a rough size based on Zhang Yaowen's description of Yuntutu. If it is not suitable, they can find any master to change it.
Zhang Yaowen didn't dare to accept it at first, and wanted to take out his small gold bar to pay, but Yun Tutu stopped him, "Brother Zhang, isn't this a slap in my face? You also know that I don't lack these things, and this is a small gift from me to my sister-in-law and little niece, just accept it with peace of mind."
"But this is inappropriate after all. It's too expensive..."
"Brother Zhang, are you sure you want to settle this with me?"
Yun Tutu knew that the other party would only respond to hard words, so he immediately became tough. As expected, Zhang Yaowen immediately backed down, "Then Brother Zhang will accept your favor this time. Next time, I will ask your sister-in-law to make something delicious. She may not be good at other things, but she is quite good at making pastries..."
