Chapter 154 – Going to the Hospital (2)
After Shu Yan had saw Lao Zhang off, she had Zhang Huaxiu and Yingying brought over the shirts and mix and match them with all sorts of jackets, and other fall outfits and placed them where they were highly visible.
“Focus on these two styles and these fall outfits. Shirts go well with everything and work for women of all age range. They can be worn with cardigans, suits, windbreakers, or jackets. The selling point of these fall outfits are light, well-fitted, and warm. They won’t appear too poofy even in the winder time. I think they will be popular among girls who want to look pretty.”
Never mind about their customers, even Yingying and Zhang Huaxiu, upon hearing that, were tempted.
Even though City Nan located in the west but their winter was still cold. Girls like to look pretty and don’t like wearing wool pants and shiver from being cold all the time. These kind of fall outfits won’t make them appear too poofy.
“Would these be too thin though? It will be even colder when it snows.” When it’s truly cold, wool pants would still be necessary.
“This is the style for early winter. I will try to get my hands on another one with velvet added. That way they will work in deep winter as well.” Shu Yan touched the pants. “Set the fall outfit at $38 a set. $35 for the shirt. Make a note on these when you create the invoice, I will give you 2% on commission.”
Zhang Huaxiu and Yingying exchanged a look. They could see encouragement in each other’s eyes.
That afternoon, many customers who came to shop tried on the shirt after seeing it on the mannequins. Many of those who were here for a jacket would pick one up as well. A few purchased the fall outfit as well. These few were regulars at Shu Yan’s shop and were confident in Shu Yan’s taste.
“Boss Lady, can these fall outfits truly keep me warm? My mom has been nagging me to put on wool sweaters and pants. They were heavy, prickly, and ugly.” The girl’s entire body showed how resentful she was toward wool sweater and pants.
Shu Yan chuckled and said. “They will be sufficient for early winter. I will bring in a set with velvet that will even work for snowy days.”
“Okay, Boss Lady. Hurry up then. We will for certain be back for them.” Each of them bought two sets and even promised that they would refer them to others if they like them.

After they chitchatted a bit, Shu Yan went to tend to other customers after she finished packing the merchandizes up for them.
The little girl who gave Shu Yan the folk prescription was back too. She bought two more sets of clothes when she saw the new styles along with the shirt and the fall outfit. Then she asked Shu Yan if she had tried the folk prescription yet.
“I have been so busy lately and needed to bring out new styles and take care of my two children so, no, I haven’t had the chance to try it out yet. I have almost forgotten all about it until you brought it up again just now. I will try it out tonight.” Shu Yan stroked her cheek. She had barely had any good rest since she has arrived at City Nan. And, along with her diet, she had already lost over 20 pounds. She weighted herself a couple of days ago and she now weighted around 140 pounds. It’s always easier at the beginning then get harder and hard. But Shu Yan was quite happy at her current weight already. At least she could somehow see her own contours.
She needed to keep working on losing weight, but she also needed to figure something out about her spots. The timing was bad when she came across the folk prescription. She was kicked out by her landlord; she needed to look for a new place; to take care of her two children; and she was busy with her shop, and then it was now.
There were two prescriptions. One of them for internal use and one was a powder. The powder was to be mixed with egg white and applied directly onto the face. She cooked the herbs for over an hour and the entire house smelled like Chinese medicinal herbs. The two kids hide inside their room and refused to come out. The smell of it made Shu Yan wanted to puke. She finally pinched her nose and drank it all down in one go. She immediately rinsed her mouth and had a candy to suppress the taste.
