As the group chatted and laughed, time passed quickly. After Fang Xiu had finished her breakfast and cleaned the kitchen, she fed Jingtao.
Fang Hong began making clothes, Yu Xiu looked after the shop, and Qin Xue went to buy rice and food to cook for lunch and dinner at the store.
She could not buy too little, as Qin Xue could take out vegetables when nobody was looking, but she had to buy meat and rice.
She thought about when she could buy some rice or wheat seeds to grow her own food; nothing was better than having her own, which put her at ease.
In the end, Qin Xue bought 20 jin (10 kg) of rice, 20 jin (10 kg) of flour, one chicken, red dates, and codonopsis for stewing soup.
She also took seven or eight jin (3.5-4 kg) of various vegetables from her space, like bok choy, cabbage, tomatoes, and green peppers. Carrying these items weighed down Oin Xue with more than 50 jin (25 kg).
Qin Xue had never carried such heavy things before, especially with her big belly now. In the end, she had no choice but to pay someone to help her deliver the items to the store.
When no one was looking, Qin Xue went to the kitchen and filled a kettle with spiritual spring water. The group, despite their different ages, had similar temperaments and had become close friends after spending so much time together.
Qin Xue thought that everyone should drink the spiritual spring water, which could improve their health and strengthen their bodies.
She would take out the vegetables from her space if she could, and buy the ones she couldn’t. As long as they were genuinely good to Qin Xue, she would help them when she could.
True friends were hard to come by in life, so Qin Xue cherished these friendships.
After drinking a cup of spiritual spring water, Qin Xue went to the store and found that Yu Xiu had already restocked the clothes that had been sold yesterday.
When there were no customers, Qin Xue taught Yu Xiu how to keep accounts using modern electronic spreadsheets.bender
After learning the method, Yu Xiu continued to study accounting, while Qin Xue sat on the other side of the counter, conceiving drawings and designs, which she intended to promote through a clothing factory.
Around ten o’clock, some customers came in to buy clothes, so the two ladies put away their things and began attending to the customers.
They introduced clothes to the customers according to their preferences and needs, ensuring that every customer could find the perfect outfit.
After Qin Xue and Yu Xiu’s introduction, the customers who came to the store bought satisfactory clothes.
Some customers even wore the clothes out of the store after trying them on, taking off the tags and leaving directly.
This, in turn, promoted Qin Xue’s designs. She had decades of experience, so she was adept at introducing fashionable clothing combinations.
Customers loved the designs, and some even brought their friends to the store the next day. Hearing this made Qin Xue very happy.
Seeing that some customers had dull complexions, she suggested that they drink more red date tea for energy or use egg whites and honey as a facial mask. After trying on clothes and receiving a new hairstyle from Qin Xue, the customers looked completely different.
Yu Xiu observed and learned Qin Xue’s business strategies while introducing clothes to the customers, making her more effective than before. She couldn’t help but admire Qin Xue and was determined to learn from her.
They were both busy until 12:30 PM when they finally had a break. Qin Xue went to the kitchen to pour a large glass of water and noticed that Fang Hong had already cooked the rice and was frying vegetables.
Qin Xue’s stomach growled at the scent, and Fang Hong looked at her and said, “It looks like our little Xiao Bao is hungry! We’ll be able to eat soon.” After saying this, she placed a hand on Qin Xue’s belly.
Qin Xue took the bowls and chopsticks to the table in the tailoring shop, as the small kitchen could not accommodate everything.
Even the tailoring shop was a bit crowded with two sewing machines and a table. Therefore, they had to make do with the limited space.
After Fang Xiu fed Jingtao and put him down for a nap, she helped serve the dishes. The group quickly prepared lunch and sat down to eat..
