Chapter 6 Gorgeous Alchemy
Crancia, Solander.
It was raining lightly in the sky, and some pedestrians were walking by holding black umbrellas on the streets of the city. This new type of rain-proof tool has been loved by many people since it was manufactured. In addition, its price is not expensive, and many people working in the capital will buy one.
The brick-red walls were moistened by raindrops, the vines between the fence and the gaps between the bricks swayed in the rain, and there was a slightly cool breath in the air.
Since the integration of Crancia's reserves in August and September, the battle line has finally gradually stabilized, and now the atmosphere in the capital has gradually eased. Everyone began to believe that this war would eventually end in victory. The result is destined, but the process is tortuous and there are still many difficult roads to go.
Now people's tense nerves have calmed down, and some life has gradually returned to the streets.
"Have you heard? At the end of this month, there will be a harvest celebration in the royal capital. Let everyone take a break."
"Really, that's great. I've been working too much overtime recently and I feel like my whole body is numb."
"Our factory makes metal castings, and military industry orders come in like snowflakes. We have worked three shifts this year, and the machines in the factory have never stopped."
"Huh, just hold on. We are lucky now. After all, the south is fighting bloody battles."
"Yeah, so I'm not complaining, I just feel too tired."
The two factory employees walked and chatted on the street until they entered different intersections and said goodbye to each other.
Compared with the tense and intense first half of the year, in the second half of the year, people gradually adapted to this wartime life. However, some minor accidents began to occur under long-term work. In view of this, officials are also preparing to organize a few days of rest for everyone to take advantage of the harvest celebration.
At No. 56 Lansing Street, a new clothing store also officially opened today.
Different from other stores in the past, the clothes in this store are unique and have attracted many customers as soon as they opened.
The spacious store is now full of crowded people, and everyone is rushing to look at the 'new' dresses hanging.
Compared with the complicated and inconvenient palace dresses of the past, these clothes have been simplified. Simplicity does not mean reducing and cutting corners, but maintaining the original style and quality, using fewer and comfortable structures, retaining its style characteristics, and making it more suitable for current work and life.
In this way, even if it is not a dance or party, you can still wear beautiful clothes.
'Gorgeous Turn' is the name of this shop. Its signboard seems to be made with alchemy props. Several specially made metal wires are suspended in the copper-colored signboard. After injecting magic power, it emits blue fluorescence and appears on the street. Extraordinarily attractive.
Inside the store.
"Don't crowd, please line up and move forward one by one~" Several newly recruited clerks worked hard and excitedly to maintain order, and occasionally helped customers remove hanging clothes so that they could view them nearby.
"It's very special. I don't know how to describe it. I just feel very comfortable." Several guests commented on these clothes.
Some of them are ordinary people, and some are wealthy people. Many of them are locals who have seen the costumes of the west-style nobles in the past. The complicated rococo-style dresses, although gorgeous, are also extremely inconvenient. Nowadays, these dresses also have similar floral embellishments, but they are just right. They not only show a different style, but are not too obtrusive and deviate from the wear of daily life.
"I really like the clothes in this store~" Several girls were immediately fascinated by this style, which felt very chic and elegant.
“I want to buy this thing, I want to buy that thing too, oh oh, I feel like my salary is not enough.” A girl working in a government agency rummaged through her wallet.
"Okay, everyone come to the front desk one by one and line up to pay. Remember not to crowd other people."
There was a lively scene in the store. Many people bought their favorite clothes and started to check out and pay.
"I like it very much, thank you~"
"You're welcome~ Welcome to come again next time." Letis stood at the front desk and smiled, bending to return the greeting.
Seeing everyone loving my design, a sense of joy and satisfaction slowly rises in my heart.
Sure enough, this is what she likes. She recalled the heroic words she said to her roommate when she was in Emenas.
If you want to make something gorgeous, whether it is alchemy or other creations, such as clothes and jewelry, it must be beautiful and touching. She is different from Alena. That guy only needs to be usable and has no aesthetics at all.
In Letis' view, only beautiful things can be truly loved by everyone, spread among the crowd, influence more people and things, and change the world.
It is not enough to be practical, but people also need to love it sincerely, so that they can pour their affection and love into it, and only in this way can their spiritual needs be satisfied.
Material needs, such as survival, food, clothing, etc., although important, are actually relatively easy to meet, but spiritual pursuits are infinite. People can therefore feel the beautiful meaning of life, and only in this way can they be long-term.
Thinking back on the thoughts she had accumulated in her heart over the years, Letis looked up at the customers queuing up and down the store, and once again thanked her roommate who had given her endless inspiration.
I don’t know where Luo Lan is now. Her name is very similar to that of the great sage in this country. Perhaps a disciple of a sage? But Lord Sage has silver hair, while Roland has black hair, and Lord Sage will definitely not go to school.
Thinking about it this way, Luo Lan should have a close relationship with the sage, either his student or his relative. If I continue to stay in this royal capital, I believe that sooner or later I will meet this roommate and companion.
Until then, I must thank Luo Lan. Now she finally has the opportunity to do something she likes and is good at.
In just the first month, this 'Gorgeous Turn' clothing store was a huge success and earned back all its capital. In addition, due to the love and favor of the residents of Solander, the reputation of this shop has become wider and wider.
Soon, at the end of the year, Letis opened two more stores, both in the giant city of Solander.
Every day it is bustling with people starting from early morning, people rush into the store to choose, looking for gorgeous clothes that suit themselves.
Seeing this scene, many businesses in the city began to imitate it. Although it didn't look like it at first, or was just a replica, as the store opened, Letis gradually faced some challenges.
Then, that's all.
Seeing that similar shops with similar styles began to appear around her, Letis started to implement her second plan, which was to completely overhaul the decoration of the store.
Alchemy lights, transmission hook-lock suspension clothes, changing rooms equipped with heating devices, soundproof lounges, and even toilets are all installed. The establishment of these alchemy equipment makes many customers extremely satisfied, even if there is a long queue. After a few minutes, there was no complaint.
Slowly, this poor young lady gradually became a master in the field of Solander's clothing. The clothes she designed became more and more expensive and difficult to find.
The name of 'Gorgeous Alchemy' Letis also began to be widely known.
