Chapter 158 Xuehe Apparel Shop

Chapter 158: Xuehe Boutique

Xuehe's shop was quite spacious, with one large room and two smaller ones. They set up the small room on the right as the clothing store, while the one on the left was for customers to dine or study.

Jiang Yingxue also posted a brief notice on the app about winter clothing and New Year goods going on sale the next day.

Before opening time, Ji Fu and Ling Ji entered the clothing store with a storage bag full of garments, quickly setting everything up. In the main room, Jiang Yingxue and Lu Ji were also busy getting the store ready.

With the New Year right around the corner, they decorated the ceilings of all three rooms with red lanterns and red streamers. On the large white wall of the main room, they put up an imposing, realistic 3D red dragon wallpaper.

The floors were covered with red carpets, and on either side just inside the entrance, they placed two kumquat trees decorated with oranges and red envelopes. The shop also played traditional New Year songs, creating a joyful, festive New Year's atmosphere.

Xuehe's shop had put together five types of New Year gift packs. The first pack included Xia Yu Flower Candy, assorted spirit flower cookies, small rice cakes, and assorted melon seeds, originally priced at 2,500 yuan but discounted to 1,000. The second pack contained Xia Yu Flower Candy, a complete set of spirit flower cookies, rice cakes, and melon seeds, originally priced at 6,500 yuan but discounted to 3,999.

The third pack featured a full set of Class B Spirit Flower Wine and Soothing Tea, originally priced at 38,000 yuan but discounted to 30,000. The fourth pack was Class A Spirit Flower Wine, originally priced at 750,000 yuan but discounted to 500,000. The fifth was a comprehensive set, including Xia Yu Flower Candy, a complete set of spirit flower cookies, rice cakes, melon seeds, Spirit Flower Wine, and Soothing Tea, originally priced at 44,500 yuan but discounted to 40,000.

When business hours began, Xuehe's shop opened its doors.

As soon as they opened, they moved the kumquat trees to either side of the entrance.

The lighting inside the shop was bright but easy on the eyes. On the ceilings of both rooms were palm-sized red stones that constantly emitted a soft red glow.

These were Fire Crystal Stones, and the glow they gave off was also warm. Using Fire Crystal Stones indoors during winter was like having a heater on.

Even with the shop doors open, the cold air from outside couldn't get in.

As soon as she saw the notice on the Xuehe Gourmet app about winter clothing, Du Shuyi got in touch with Tu Xiying right away and made plans to check it out together the next day.

Since wearing the Blazing Peacock Feather Dress from Xuehe, Du Shuyi had become a loyal fan. She had bought every piece of clothing listed on the app and regularly bought food from the shop, often stocking up for several days at a time. She made sure there was always at least one dish from Xuehe on their family table.

Du Shuyi pointed to the rainbow-colored coat in the center. "Sister-in-law Xiying, check out this coat. The flowers on the collar are really something special."

The clothing store didn't carry a huge selection, but each piece was displayed on a mannequin, allowing customers to see it from all angles and observe the craftsmanship and details.

Tu Xiying also saw the rainbow-colored coat and smiled, saying, "Why don't you try it on?"

"Okay!"

You needed to swipe a membership card to get into Xuehe's clothing store. Inside were two staffers: Ling Ji and Tong Ji.

Du Shuyi asked, "Excuse me, can we try on the clothes here?"

Tong Ji replied, "Sure. Which piece would you like? I'll get that down for you."

Du Shuyi pointed to the rainbow-colored coat on the mannequin. "This rainbow one."

She took the coat and bag off the mannequin and passed them to Tu Xiying.

"Alright, just a moment." Tong Ji removed the coat from the mannequin and led Du Shuyi to the fitting room.

Du Shuyi was 1.6 meters tall (about 5'3") and usually wore a small, which was luckily the size on the mannequin, so Tong Ji just used that one.

But the clothes on the mannequins were display samples. If someone bought it, they'd get a fresh one from the stock in the cabinet.

In less than two minutes, Du Shuyi came out wearing the coat. She stood in front of a full-length mirror to see the effect.

The rainbow-colored coat didn't make her look dark at all; the colorful fur on the collar and the three-dimensional flowers made her appear even more charming.

Du Shuyi turned to Tu Xiying behind her. "Sister-in-law Xiying, what do you think?"

Tu Xiying praised her sincerely, "It suits you very well. You look even more beautiful than the flowers."

Du Shuyi glanced back at the mirror, smiling coyly. "Then I'll take this one."

Tong Ji said, "Miss Du, Miss Tu, we have matching accessories for this coat over here. Would you like to see?"

Hearing there were matching accessories, Du Shuyi was interested. "Please show me."

On the transparent glass counter, over ten different sets of accessories were displayed, each exquisite and sparkling, all paired with corresponding outfits.

Tong Ji took out the accessories matching the rainbow coat and placed them on the table. "This set costs 350,000 yuan, and the coat is 200,000. If purchased together, there's a discounted price of 500,000."

Du Shuyi's eyes lit up with joy. "Then I'll take them together."

She looked down at the other accessories and was also drawn to a cherry blossom pink set. "How much is this set? Which outfit does it match?"

"This set is slightly more expensive, at 1,000,000 yuan." Tong Ji took it out, highlighting the cherry blossom pink bracelet. "This bracelet keeps you warm in winter and cool in summer. It can absorb subtle plant essences from the surroundings and transfer them to the wearer, helping to nourish the skin."

Du Shuyi grew more interested. "What material is it?"

Tong Ji replied, "Cherry Blossom Water Jade." This crystal was something Jiang Yingxue had collected in her space. Its appearance was so beautiful she had even built a Cherry Blossom Water Jade house for Xiao Zhao there.

Du Shuyi looked at Tu Xiying, silently asking if she knew this jade.

Tu Xiying hadn't heard of it, but touching it felt comfortable and warm. "It feels warm. I'll take a set too."

Tong Ji smiled. "Certainly."

Du Shuyi loved it, her sister-in-law was buying the same, and she trusted Xuehe. "Then please wrap it up for me."

"Oh, which outfit does it match?"

Tong Ji pointed to the second-to-last mannequin on the left. "This one."

Du Shuyi said, "Alright. We'd like to see other styles first and then pay and package everything together."

"Of course."

In the end, Du Shuyi purchased two outfit sets, two coats, and four accessory sets. Tu Xiying bought three outfit sets and one more set.

Soon, it was time for students to finish school.

"Boss, I'd like a nutritious boxed meal, half a roast chicken, and a cup of Qiong Peach Juice. Not for takeout, I'll eat here." Nie Shiming first put his schoolbag on a seat to claim it, then went to order.

"Alright." After he swiped his card to pay, Jiang Yingxue brought a tray, placed all his items together, and handed it to him.
