Start with an antique shop and become rich overnight

Chapter 37 A good store is sure to have no shortage of customers
Shen You didn't care about their conversation, but focused on the food on the table.

The people who work hard are the souls of people who work hard, and people who work hard are all superior to others.

Pre-peeled shrimps taste better than those you have to peel yourself.

Gu Yue looked at Shen You's casual look and knew that she and Xu Jiayan were not the same kind of people.

Xu Jiayan has always been modest, polite and sensible to others. To put it bluntly, people who come from that kind of family tend to have a sense of alienation in their nature.

But the way he gets along with Shen You is different.

After finishing the meal and going out, Gu Yue felt a little uncomfortable when she saw Xu Jiayan actually taking the initiative to open the car door for Shen You.

Gu Shaoyu, who was standing by, saw this scene, sighed in his heart and said nothing.

Xu Jiayan's family has a prominent family background for several generations. Looking at the modern celebrities and the earliest entrepreneurs in Jiangcheng, you can find several relatives.

If they hadn’t been neighbors when they were young, they might not have been able to become friends.

Xu Jiayan has been a kid from someone else's family since he was young. With all these buffs added up, how could there not be many people who like him?

Their family is rich, so they want status. Among the people she knows, Xu Jiayan is the most suitable one for Gu Yue.

He is not like those young people with chaotic private lives. He is only interested in cultural relics restoration. He only had one girlfriend in college, and it seems that they broke up more than a year ago.

Before going to the museum, Shen You turned a corner to buy a cup of milk tea.

She felt sleepy while working in the afternoon and needed to refresh herself.

She and Xu Jiayan arrived at Professor Li's office on time, each holding a cup of milk tea.

Professor Li put down the thermos cup and shook his head. He looked at Shen You and smiled, "You young people just like to drink these."

"I brought you something good." Shen You took out a tea can from her bag.

"I bought the jar myself. Please try the tea leaves inside."

The older generation likes to drink tea, so Professor Li took it and made a cup first. As soon as he smelled the fragrance, he knew it was a rare good tea.

"Fragrant! So fragrant!" After taking a sip, Professor Li kept praising the tea, saying it was much better than those high-end packaged branded teas.

"Where did you buy this tea, girl?"

The best teahouse in the capital of Da Qi, Shen You thought.

"A friend from my hometown gave it to me a few days ago. He makes tea himself, but he doesn't make much every year."

Professor Li nodded when he heard this, feeling happy. It was amazing that Shen You could think of that he liked to drink this kind of tea.

It was hard-earned, and I sent him some.

Xu Jiayan had his own things to do, so he left the office first. Shen You and Professor Li went to the workshop.

"Shen You, if you don't want to work in the museum, you can at least register as my apprentice, right?" Professor Li sighed.

After spending some time together, he became more and more satisfied with this girl. Her professional abilities were truly good.

But I also know that she runs an antique shop and doesn't want to give up her current career.

He could understand, so he suggested putting his name on it. In the collector circle, his name is still of some use.

It's a bit helpful to this girl.

As a young girl with no background and no help from her family, it was not easy for her to gain a foothold in the antique street in Jiangcheng.

"Are you serious? Okay then." Shen You said with a smile.

"When did I ever say anything false!" Professor Li took his thermos cup and went to pour water.

"We're going to go out for dinner later. Would you like to join us? It's my treat."

She also owed a meal, so she just paid it back.

"Forget it, you two young people go ahead. I have to go home for dinner. I didn't tell my wife in advance."

Professor Li waved his hand. Why would he be a light bulb when young people are eating? It would be more comfortable to eat at home. Shen You said goodbye to Professor Li at the door and went to the city center with Xu Jiayan. In order to prevent him from paying again, Shen You sat down and said,
"We agreed that I would treat you to a meal. You paid last time, so you have to pay again this time. I won't come out to eat next time."

Xu Jiayan could hear the seriousness in her tone and could only smile helplessly and let her go to pay the bill.

She really doesn't want to owe anyone anything.

When I got home, it was almost nine o'clock.

Shen You took out the portable safe that he had purchased online and would take the stuff there tomorrow.

The pen and the jade-carved inkstone were taken away, and the ink was left in the store.

This kind of good ink can also be made in modern times, and it would not be worth much if it were auctioned.

There are also several items worth hundreds of thousands.

This auction was only of medium standard, and basically items were in this price range. It was also her first auction, so she didn't want to buy anything too expensive.

However, the things she took out were exquisite enough and not common items on the market.

Shen You tried the password of the box first, and found it was OK, then put the things away one by one.

Set the alarm the next morning.

She changed into a silk cheongsam with wide sleeves, put on some light makeup, and took the suitcase and the piece of floral fabric that Da Qi had brought back into the car.

I went to the tailor shop first, which was over at the old villa.

The material of this piece of brocade is precious, and Shen You is not willing to just find a random tailor to make it.

So I specifically asked Gu Shaoyu yesterday. This shop is a real century-old store. The craftsmanship was passed down from ancestors and it is absolutely excellent.

There are no other problems except that it is expensive and you have to wait in line for the construction period.

When I entered the store, I saw many fabrics on display, including Xiangyunsha, Kesi, and Yunjin, all of which were luxury goods carefully selected by our ancestors.

Ordinary silk has become the cheapest material here.

The boss was a man in his fifties, sitting there and making clothes slowly and leisurely.

"Hello, I would like to see how many clothes can be made from this material." Shen You handed over the floral fabric.

The boss only touched the material and exclaimed, "Such fine floral fabric is rare."

The noble ladies who usually came to his shop would bring their own fabrics. He had been a tailor for half his life, but he had only seen fabrics with such excellent weaving techniques a few times.

Nowadays, twill fabrics can be woven by machine, but there is one type that cannot be woven: the most complex four-warp twill.

It can only be woven by hand, which takes too much time, so it is rarely seen on the market and is basically used for the restoration of cultural relics.

And this customer brought this kind of material!

The dyeing of her material is very particular, and ordinary people cannot buy such material even if they spend money.

Shen You saw the boss take out a ruler to measure the size of the fabric, so he asked, "Can you make a cheongsam and a Song Dynasty jacket?"

"After making a traditional cheongsam, there is not enough left to make a jacket. You can only make a top with airplane sleeves. I will give you another piece of material so you can make a skirt." The boss replied.

Shen You thought about it for two seconds, "That's it, thank you boss."

She then chose a piece of fabric to make a skirt in the store based on the boss's recommendation and paid for it all at once.

The boss said she was lucky and had just finished two orders, so she only had to wait in line for two months.

There were new customers who waited for half a year.

A good store will never lack customers, Shen You sighed in his heart.

Looking at the boss who had just finished ironing clothes, his craftsmanship was really good and the price was really expensive.

It was the first time for her to customize such expensive clothes. She could wear them casually at other times, but in the future, she would have to dress up when attending auctions and other occasions.
