Ning Min looked at the boys and then pulled out another large booklet from the side, handing it to them.
The group immediately abandoned the girls and sat down to the side with the booklets.
The girls didn't mind, pointing to the styles they liked and asking Ning Min, "Sister Ning, we want to customize clothes, how much will it cost?"
After looking at the styles they chose, Ning Min took them to pick out fabrics.
The girls picked out fabrics they liked. They didn't really understand fabrics, they just chose colors they liked.
After selecting, Ning Min began to estimate prices for them. Even with discounts, a qipao would cost over 5,000 yuan.
This price was much more expensive than what many department stores sold.
As expected, after hearing that a dress cost over 5,000 yuan, the girls hesitated a bit.
Although their families were well-off, they weren't at the point where they could casually buy dresses costing thousands of yuan.
However, in the end, the young girls still decided to go ahead, using their own pocket money, and they all said they would have to eat dirt next month.
It wasn't that Ning Min's prices were high, but rather that her fabrics were inherently expensive. After all, fabrics for qipaos naturally needed to be silk or satin to best showcase the style.
It could be said that those prices were actually on the low side, especially since they didn't request embroidery, which would have made them even more expensive.
Because it was a custom order, they all had to pay in full. Thus, Ning Min earned tens of thousands from her first order of the day.
After the girls had finished choosing, there was still no movement from the boys.
Naturally, since it was private tailoring, men's styles were mostly formal suits or tuxedos, or perhaps more dignified and classic Zhongshan suits.
"You could try suits too," the girls chimed in, "Look, this one, and this one, and these all look so handsome!"
With references, they also ordered their own suits. When they tried them on, the girls looked at them differently.
After all, they were playmates who usually spent most of their time being casual. This was the first time they had seen them dressed so formally, and most of it was because they were students.
Compared to qipaos, suits were much more expensive. Even with discounts, each one cost ten thousand yuan because the fabric for the suits was truly custom-made!
Compared to the young girls, the boys were more decisive and paid directly.
One boy's chosen style and fabric cost reached a staggering 20,000 yuan!
The boys winced at the money they had spent, but at the same time, they were even more excited about their custom-made clothes.
Because there were too many people attending the banquet, they chose to wait for the second batch of guests.
When someone else came to look at the tailor shop later, the group quickly hurried to the private dining restaurant.
They had never experienced a large village banquet before, so of course, they had to seize the opportunity!
Many people came in one after another, but in the end, only two had custom clothes made by Ning Min. Many others just came to look and left after hearing the prices.
Ning Min wasn't discouraged; she had received several orders today, enough to keep her busy for a long time.
The children who ordered custom clothes were visiting and would be leaving in a couple of days. Knowing that their custom clothes wouldn't be finished quickly, they asked Ning Min to pack them up and mail them once they were done.
Shen Yao and Ning Min readily agreed.
Although there were no customers ordering clothes, as it was a new store opening, there were still curious people who would come in to look, so the two of them still had to attend to guests.
It wasn't that no one said their custom clothes were expensive, but the two of them just smiled and let it go.
Initially, Ning Min had wanted to open a regular tailor shop, but the Shen family felt that if they were going to open one, they should open the best. Just like Shen's elder brother, who renovated the restaurant and turned it into a farm-to-table establishment.
Since they knew from the beginning that their positioning was high and they were mentally prepared, they wouldn't be swayed by a few casual remarks.
They knew that these people would say they would have bought the clothes if they were cheaper, but whether they would have actually bought them in the end was uncertain.
Because it was a tailor shop, not a small boutique, they closed their doors promptly at 6:30.
Back home, Ning Min reported the day's achievements. Upon hearing that several orders had been placed, everyone sincerely felt happy for Ning Min.
"Wife, you're amazing!" Shen Huaimin said, looking at Ning Min, causing the Shen family to exclaim "Yi!" involuntarily.
The little chubby boy, not understanding, also made a milky "Yi!" like the adults, making everyone burst into laughter.
The next day, Ning Min and Shen Huaimin went to the store, leaving Shen Yao and Shen Huaijin to take Mo Xuan to school.
Mo Xuan didn't bring much with him; most of his belongings were in Shen Yao's spatial storage. After all, they were bought by Shen's father and mother, and Mo Xuan couldn't bear to leave them behind.
The art school that accepted Mo Xuan was in Kyoto, so the three of them had to take a flight there.
Since it was the earliest flight, they arrived in Kyoto around 10 AM.
As soon as they reached the pick-up area, they could see a large crowd waiting to pick people up. More people were holding large signs with the names of various schools.
The three of them searched for a while and finally found Mo Xuan's school. The person holding the sign was a very tall young man, and through the thin fabric, they could feel that he had a great physique.
Shen Yao and the other two attracted everyone's attention along the way. It was impossible to ignore their striking appearances.
When they saw the three of them stop in front of the person holding the sign for the art school, everyone understood.
Indeed, students attending art schools had good looks.
The young man holding the sign noticed someone standing in front of him and looked over, becoming so excited that he was trembling!
"Students, are you new arrivals at our school?"
Although it was a question, the young man's tone was one of certainty. Such beautiful people must be students at their art school!
Seeing Mo Xuan nod, the young man excitedly led the three of them to the side, where many young men and women were already standing, presumably art school students.
When the other students saw Shen Yao and the group, their gazes became strange, filled with envy, jealousy, disdain...
However, Shen Yao and the others didn't pay much attention. After waiting for a while longer, they were led by the young man with the sign to the parking lot and boarded a school bus heading to the campus.
