Chapter 745: The Way to Make Money

The sales clerk, just finishing up, glanced up at Liu Chuxue: "The fabric is 90CM wide; how much do you need?"

Liu Chuxue explained her idea to the person: how much fabric was needed for two dresses and one skirt.

The sales clerk stared at her with wide eyes: "Are you sure? This will require quite a few cloth coupons."

Liu Chuxue took a stack of cloth coupons from her bag, or rather, from her space.

It wasn't that she wanted to be conspicuous, but this taffeta was in short supply, and finding a color she liked was no easy matter.

After all, selling to whom did not matter; the sales clerk said nothing more and simply gave an approximate figure.

Liu Chuxue added two extra feet and asked them to calculate the money and coupons.

Afterwards, she bought some white cotton cloth to use as lining and also purchased the elastic needed for making skirts before leaving the department store building.

Having accompanied Ji Kunlan to have clothes made before, she naturally knew her measurements.

She went directly to the state-run tailor shop they had visited before and found the acquaintance they knew: "Sister, I'm here to see you again."

That tailor smiled and walked over.

She took out the dress design she had drawn earlier: "Sister, can you make a dress like this?"

Upon seeing it was a dress, the woman looked somewhat surprised: "Winter is about to set in; why would you think of making a dress?"

Liu Chuxue did not hide the truth: "I have a friend who is getting married and will be moving to the south; I thought I'd give her a dress, which would be practical there."

After seeing the drawing Liu Chuxue had made, the woman remained silent for a long while.

It was only after Liu Chuxue called her name twice that she reacted: "Did you draw this?"

Liu Chuxue nodded: "Mm, I originally planned to make and wear it myself after the New Year; I didn't expect my friend to use it first."

"Can you transfer this design to us?"

Liu Chuxue, being from a later era, immediately understood her meaning: "You said winter is about to set in; this design..."

The woman quickly cut her off: "Come with me inside."

Saying this, she led both the person and the drawing toward the backyard.

Upon entering the backyard, her steps became more hurried; arriving before an office, she knocked on the door with noticeably more force than usual.

Hearing "Come in" from inside.

She pushed the door open and walked in: "Director, please take a look at this design drawing."

Having finished speaking, she did not forget to invite Liu Chuxue, who had followed in behind, to sit: "Sit."

Liu Chuxue felt it was improper, especially since there was only one empty chair in the room.

The woman called Director, upon seeing the drawing, also wore an expression of delight: "Where did this come from?"

The woman who had brought Liu Chuxue pointed at Liu Chuxue: "This Miss brought it; I fell in love with it at first glance; this style is truly beautiful."

After speaking, she introduced Liu Chuxue: "This is Director Qin of our state-run sewing cooperative."

Liu Chuxue smiled and greeted her: "Hello, Director Qin."

Director Qin picked up the drawing: "Did you design this yourself?"

Liu Chuxue nodded: "Yes, I am getting married after the New Year, so I thought of designing a few sets of clothes with my own hands."

Hearing this, Director Qin became even more excited and stood up directly: "Do you mean you have other design drawings?"

Liu Chuxue nodded: "Yes."

Liu Chuxue had truly not thought in this direction before; she had only planned to design a few styles to make and wear herself.

Now, seeing how excited the Director was, she quickly realized that perhaps this was also a way to make money.

Director Qin walked out from behind the desk: "May I see those design drawings as well?"

Upon hearing this, not only did Liu Chuxue freeze, but the woman who had brought her over froze too.

Director Qin also realized she had misspoken: "I did not mean anything else; I simply think the styles you designed are truly excellent; if possible, we could buy your design drawings."
