Seeing that she had lost her temper for a while, Xiaoxiao calmed down. “Forget it. Let’s see how they regret it after the Duanwu Festival!”
Xiaoxiao clapped her hands. “That’s how it should be. Let’s see how they cry when we smash the account book in their faces. However, your boss is really unlucky to have missed such a good thing.”
This time, the two shopkeepers laughed at her speechlessly. “You’re quite confident.”
Shopkeeper Liu even came over and pinched her little face. “Alright, let’s put aside your glib words for now. Shouldn’t you give me the rules for the fifth day? I’ve already found the person you want who’s good at calculating. Don’t trick me.”
Xiaoxiao widened her eyes. “Am 1 such an unreliable person?” Then, she took out a form that she had taken the time to write these few days. “Here, take it for them to study and memorize. It’s for the day of the event.”
Shopkeeper Liu opened this piece of paper and saw that it was filled with words. Her eyes were a little blurry. “This ‘Customized VIP Painting at 100 taels’ is the one you drew for me previously, right?”
Xiaoxiao replied, “Yes, remember to memorize it. Otherwise, they’ll be confused when they’re busy that day.”
That’s right. There were so many lines, such as “A free gift for every 99 coins purchase”, “Buy five and get one free”, “2 coins less for every 20″…
Sigh, this was interesting. The more Shopkeeper Liu looked at it, the brighter her eyes became. She covered Shopkeeper Xu’s eyes, who had come over out of curiosity. “You want it? Spend money to buy it yourself.”
Shopkeeper Xu was very depressed and pitiful. However, Xiaoxiao expressed that she did not feel anything when a man in his thirties made such an expression. If it was her neighbor, Little Big Brother, she might even feel a little sympathetic.
Thinking of Rong Yan, Xiaoxiao pulled Shopkeeper Liu over. “Beautiful Sister, can you help me?”
Shopkeeper Liu remained unmoved. “Alright, let’s talk about the price first.”
Xiaoxiao’s eyes were dead, and Shopkeeper Xu gloated.
Xiaoxiao wanted to buy some cotton, cotton cloth, and various threads. They had to be soft and of high quality. She also had to find a place to buy milk. Goat milk was fine too. Shopkeeper Liu only said that she was happy. After hearing Xiaoxiao’s request, she agreed without a word and even promised to do it beautifully for her. However, she stopped Xiaoxiao, who was about to leave. “Is there something new?”
Xiaoxiao pouted. “If you want to know, fine. Let’s talk about the price first.” With that, she was kicked out.
The two of them wanted to discuss business matters and let Xiaoxiao play by herself, so she borrowed the kitchen from Shopkeeper Liu.
She would often make some food when she came. After Shopkeeper Liu enjoyed it once, she arranged the originally unused small kitchen into a dazzling array. From the various used seasonings to all kinds of kitchen utensils, she gave Shopkeeper Xu a chance to sponsor them.
It could be said that other than people and unique seasonings, Xiaoxiao could find anything she wanted in the small kitchen of the Ruyi Clothing Shop. Even if she did not have it at that time, the two shopkeepers were very happy to get it for her personally to prevent the recipes from being stolen.
To be honest, sometimes, Xiaoxiao felt that it was more convenient to cook here than at home. At least she didn’t feel any pressure when she used a lot of flour, eggs and white sugar.
In the private room after Xiaoxiao left, Shopkeeper Liu and Shopkeeper Xu’s expressions were solemn. “Old Madam’s condition is serious again?”
“That’s right. Ever since she woke up from her coma last time, she couldn’t eat much and vomited every time she ate. She hasn’t improved at all these days. The time she wakes up every day is getting shorter and shorter. She can only feed a little soup when she’s awake. How can she last without eating…”
“Old Madam can’t leave home. Boss found the divine doctor in North City and is thinking of a way to invite them out of seclusion. I wonder if it will work..”
