“Huh?” Xiang exchanged a glance with Fu Xiangdi in confusion.
Shu Yu’s expression turned serious, “Aunt Xiang might not have heard, but our family has opened a shop in the county. It’s a ready-to-made clothes shop. My mother is the only person who makes clothes in the shop now, so we only have a few clothes in the shop now, which is why I want to hire someone to work in the shop.”
Xiang and Fu Xiangdi’s eyes widened slightly. Was this what they thought it meant? Was it?
The next moment, Shu Yu’s words confirmed their guess.
“My mother immediately thought of Aunt Xiang and said that you were the most suitable candidate. I came to find you today to ask for your opinion.”
Xiang was slightly excited. She grabbed Fu Xiangdi’s hand and asked uncertainly, “You… Do you mean to hire me to make clothes?”
“Yes, but before that, I want to see Aunt Xiang’s skills first. I wonder if it’s possible?”
Xiang immediately nodded, “Yes, of course!”
Shu Yu untied the bundle she had brought, “I have a piece of cloth here and a simple drawing of clothes that I drew myself. I’d like Aunt Xiang to make some children’s clothes to see.”
Xiang took the drawing nervously. Shu Yu’s drawing was very simple. It was just a rough form.
Xiang didn’t understand the drawing entirely and asked a few more questions about some details.
When Shu Yu told her, she immediately understood. She rolled up her sleeves and said, “I’ll do it now.”
“Alright.
It was just a very simple dress. Shu Yu mainly wanted to look at the other party’s skill in stitches and attention to detail, as well as her comprehension. Four to six hours should be enough.
Xiang did not delay any longer. She quickly took the cloth into the room and took out her sewing basket to start cutting the cloth up.
Fu Xiangdi helped her. After busying herself for a moment, she looked up and saw Shu Yu sitting there alone. Thus, she felt a little apologetic.
Fu Xiangdi pondered for a moment and ran to the kitchen to get some wild fruits.
She had picked them on the mountain and they were still very fresh. She washed them and brought them to Shu Yu.
“Big Sister Lu, please have some fruits first. Mom and I will be done soon.”
Shu Yu nodded, “Thank you.”
Fu Xiangdi smiled and quickly ran back into the room.
The mother and daughter were very skilled. Xiang cut the cloth and made the clothes while Fu Xiangdi helped. The two of them cooperated very well and were very fast.
Therefore, the time it took to make the clothes was much shorter than Shu Yu had expected.
Not long after, the clothes were placed in Shu Yu’s hands.
Shu Yu drew the blueprint according to Sanya’s size and also finalized the style according to Sanya’s face shape and figure. The finished product was indeed exactly the same as her drawing. There were no flaws.
Shu Yu sized it up for a long time, then scrutinized the stitches and other details before finally putting it away in satisfaction.
“It seems that my mother was right. Aunt Xiang’s skills are indeed very good.”
Xiang heaved a sigh of relief because she was a little nervous. She was afraid that she had done something wrong. Although she had checked, she was still very worried. She was finally relieved when she heard Shu Yu say that.
“It’s good that there’s no problem.”
Shu Yu sat up straight, “Then, let’s talk about the remuneration and main responsibilities?
Xiang pursed her lips and asked again with uncertainty, “Have you really decided to hire me?
“Of course, you passed the test..”
