1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 745 Ways to Make Money
The sales clerk had just finished her work and glanced at Chuxue: "90cm wide, how many do you want?"

Chu Xue shared her idea with someone: how much fabric would be needed for two dresses and one skirt?

The saleswoman stared at her wide-eyed: "Are you sure this will require quite a few cloth coupons?"

Chu Xue took out a stack of cloth coupons from her bag, or rather, from her spatial storage.

It wasn't that she wanted to be high-profile, but this kind of silk was in short supply, and it wasn't easy to find a color she liked.

Since it didn't matter who it was sold to, the salesperson didn't say anything else and just gave a rough estimate.

The first snowfall was two feet too long; let them calculate the cost.

Afterwards, I bought some white cotton fabric to use as lining, and also bought elastic bands for making the skirt before leaving the department store.

Having worked with Ji Kunlan on clothing orders before, I naturally knew her size.

They went straight to the state-run tailor shop they had visited before and found an acquaintance: "Sister, I've come to see you again."

The tailor smiled and walked over.

She took out the dress design she had created earlier: "Sis, do you think this dress can be made?"

The woman was somewhat surprised when she saw it was a skirt: "Winter is almost here, why did you decide to make a skirt?"

Chu Xue didn't hide anything: "I have a friend who is getting married and is going to live in the south, so I thought I'd give her a dress that will be useful there."

After seeing the drawing Chu Xue made, the woman remained silent for a long time.

It took two calls from Chuxue before she responded: "Did you draw this?"

Chu Xue nodded: "Yeah, I was planning to make it for myself after the New Year, but I didn't expect my friend to use it first."

"Could you send us this picture?"

Chu Xue, a person from a later era, immediately understood her meaning: "You said it yourself, winter is just around the corner, this picture..."

The woman quickly interrupted her: "Come in with me."

As she spoke, she led the people and the picture towards the backyard. Once inside, her pace quickened, and when she reached an office, she knocked on the door with more force than usual.

A voice from inside said, "Please come in."

He pushed open the door and went in: "President, take a look at this design drawing."

After saying that, he didn't forget to invite Chuxue, who came in later, to sit down.

Chu Xue felt embarrassed, since there was only one empty chair in the room.

The woman addressed as "President" looked pleasantly surprised upon seeing the picture: "Where did this come from?"

The woman who brought Chuxue pointed at Chuxue and said, "This girl brought it over, and I fell in love with it at first sight. This style is really beautiful."

After saying that, he introduced Qin, the head of our state-owned sewing cooperative, to Chuxue: "This is our head of the cooperative."

Chu Xue greeted everyone with a smile, "Hello, President Qin."

President Qin picked up the drawing: "You designed this yourself?"

Chu Xue nodded: "Yes, I'm getting married after the New Year, so I was thinking of designing a few outfits myself."

President Qin became even more agitated upon hearing this and stood up abruptly: "You mean you have other design drafts?"

First Snow nodded: "Yes."

Before the first snow, I really hadn't thought about this; I was just thinking about designing a few pieces for myself to wear.

Seeing how excited the president was, I quickly realized that this might also be a way to make money.

President Qin stepped out from behind his desk: "May I take a look at those design drawings?"

Upon hearing this, not only was Chu Xue stunned, but the woman who brought Chu Xue there was also stunned.

President Qin realized he had misspoke: "I didn't mean anything by it, I just think your designs are really good. If possible, we can buy your designs."
