Xue Li and Xiao Ya each chose two pieces of cotton cloth and two ready-made clothes, spending less than one or two taels of silver.

At the counter, Mo Qingwan smiled and told them some precautions: "Don't wring the water out after washing. Just wring it out lightly and let it air dry. There will be slight fading in the first two washes, but it will get better after that."

Xue Li and Xiao Ya listened carefully. Yan Qiao beside them said, "Ladies, if it is inconvenient for you to pick up the goods, the cloth shop provides delivery service. You can tell us your address and we will deliver the goods to your homes today."

Xiaoya opened her mouth slightly and asked hesitantly, "Then...how much money do you want for one delivery?"

Yan Qiao smiled and replied, "As long as it's within the city, delivery is free."

The "door-to-door delivery" service was also proposed by Shen Zheng. In this way, the cloth shop can derive an additional profession - delivery worker.

While home delivery may seem free, it is not.

The price of cotton cloth actually includes all costs. A piece of cloth is heavy, and it is inconvenient for men and women to carry it without a carriage, so most people choose to have it delivered to their door.

In this way, customers enjoyed the service, the cloth shop improved its reputation, and the delivery workers earned money, achieving three goals at one stroke.

"Free?" Xiaoya showed joy and tugged at Xueli's sleeve, "Xueli, let's ask the cloth shop to deliver it, right?"

Xue Li's reaction was a little strange.

She pursed her lips and asked Mo Qingwan in a low voice: "Manager Mo, if this happens, will the cloth shop make less money?"

The person who delivers the goods must be paid, how can he deliver the goods for free?

The higher the delivery cost, the less money Lord Shen gets.

Xue Li didn't want this to happen.

Several pieces of cotton cloth have been sold today, but this is the first time Mo Qingwan has heard of this issue.

After a slight pause, Mo Qingwan smiled and said, "No, even if the lady doesn't need door-to-door delivery, the cloth shop still needs delivery workers."

She looked at Xue Li, paused, and couldn't help but say a few more words: "This is also what Lord Shen meant. Lord Shen hopes that more people can have jobs and earn money because of the cloth shop, so that our Liuyang Mansion can get better and better."

Isn’t this a typical case of the rich helping the poor?

Xue Li put her mind at ease, revealing her two dimples, "That's good. Then... we need to deliver the goods to your door!"

Although she could only vaguely understand Lord Shen's intention, since it was Lord Shen's intention, she just had to obey.

After leaving their addresses, the two of them, each wearing a new cotton coat, walked towards the stairs, talking and laughing.

Xiaoya was a little excited and kept chirping, while Xue Li was extremely cautious and protected her clothes with every move.

A beautiful woman met them at the stairs. After hearing their conversation, she smiled and said, "The clothes suit you very well. They look very nice."

Xue Li raised her head and looked at her, a thin cloud on her face, and said softly: "Thank you, thank you for your compliment, Madam."

Xiaoya lifted up her skirt and showed it to her again.

After going downstairs, Xiaoya asked, "Is that lady your relative? She is so elegant! She looks like she has read a lot of books."

Xue Li blinked, "Isn't he your relative?"

"How is it possible!" Xiaoya gestured at herself, "My mother married from outside, and my father is a rough man, how could he know such a beautiful lady? No, you mean... you don't know her either?"

Xue Li nodded.

"Oh my." Xiaoya's face gradually turned red. "I thought it was your relative and I showed it off on purpose. How embarrassing! But..."

The next moment, Xiaoya became happy again, "Such a beautiful lady praised us for being beautiful, what does that mean?"

Xue Li looked down at her clothes and said hesitantly, "Does this mean our new clothes...are really beautiful?"

"That's right!" Xiaoya pulled her and skipped downstairs. "I didn't expect that I didn't spend all the money I brought after buying two pieces of cloth and two pieces of clothes. I thought I could only afford one piece of cotton cloth. Come on! I'll treat you to a fruit drink!"

Outside the cloth shop, several eyes fell on them.

Curiosity, praise, and envy.

The second floor of the cloth shop.

Zhuang Zhiyun has been in the city for more than a year and rarely appears in public. Not many people know her, so when she went upstairs, she did not attract much attention.

She had actually seen cotton cloth in Tongan County a long time ago.

A few days ago, Shen Zheng sent someone to deliver several pieces of cotton cloth and ready-made clothes to Yu Mansion, so she came today mostly to show her support.

In the crowd, Zhuang Zhiyun moved lightly and came to the garment area with her maid.

Although she had seen cotton cloth and ready-made clothes before, this was the first time she saw so many ready-made clothes hung together.

and......

Most of these ready-made clothing styles were created by her little daughter.

With a smile on her lips, she looked over each piece of ready-made clothing; her gaze was one of pride, pride, and doting.

These ready-made clothes are actually very easy to distinguish.

Yu Nanshu is innocent and lively, with bold and novel ideas. She always likes to add some unique little styles and splicing to clothes. Zhuang Zhiyun only needs to take a glance to know which of these clothes are from Yu Nanshu's little brain.

"Wow..." The maid covered her mouth lightly and asked curiously, "Madam, are these clothing patterns... all created by Miss?"

Zhuang Zhiyun's eyes were as gentle as water, and he said softly, "Most of them are, like the one in front of us."

Cotton is soft, not as smooth and drapey as silk. If the style, design, or cutting of the garment is not up to par, the clothes will be soft and floppy, like being worn inside out.

But these ready-made clothes are not like that.

I don't know what method the cloth mill used to make the cotton cloth they wove hard where it should be hard and soft where it should be soft. Coupled with the unique style design and professional cutting techniques, these clothes have a remarkable texture and are not inferior to some more expensive clothes at all.

Zhuang Zhiyun asked the maid, "What do you think? Should we change the clothes of the servants in the mansion into cotton-padded clothes? Let Nan Shu...draw a few styles for everyone, styles that belong only to our Yu Mansion."

The maid's eyes widened as she stroked the cotton cloth in front of her, "Madam...is this really possible?"

Zhuang Zhiyun picked up the small price tag and said with a smile, "Cotton cloth is not expensive, and it is breathable and comfortable to wear. Zheng'er said that cotton cloth is the best way to keep warm in winter. This winter, I will make two sets for everyone in the mansion."

The maid's nose felt slightly sour.

This was not the first time she felt fortunate that she had the chance to work as a maid in the Yu Mansion.

"Mrs. Yu?"

A voice sounded from behind the two of them.

Zhuang Zhiyun slightly turned sideways, and after seeing who was coming, he smiled and nodded, "Manager Mo? During the Chinese New Year, we had a New Year dinner together at the Tongan County Government Office."
