Meng Yu left quickly and returned to Su Jin's tailor shop. While still outside the door, he smelled the rich aroma of food.

Seeing her come back, Zhao Susu smiled and hung up the closing sign: "Ayu, look, mom made your favorite food!"

There were four dishes and one soup on the table, three meat dishes and one vegetable dish.

"Mom, there's so much, we can't finish it!" The mother and daughter's lives became much better, but they usually only ate one meat and one vegetable.

"It's okay, you can eat what you can't finish tomorrow." Zhao Susu smiled and served her some rice: "Ayu is four years old. Today is your birthday, you have to eat something good!"

Meng Yu: “…”

She felt like she had been in this world for a long time, yet only a few months had passed and she was only four years old. When would she grow up?

Life is so hard.

"Ayu, long time no see little loach!"

Meng Yu was stunned. Indeed, she didn't need Little Loach at this time. She almost forgot that this was her golden finger.

She called silently in her heart: "Little loach, little loach!"

But she smiled at Zhao Susu: "Don't worry, Mom. The little loach has gone out to play. It can find food by itself and will be back in a few days!"

"Swoosh!" A small thing came rushing over with the wind and crashed into Meng Yu's arms.

Meng Yu caught it and said with a smile: "Look, mother, the little loach is back!"

Zhao Susu: “…”

The door seems to be closed, right? The window is also closed, right? Where did this little thing come from?

Oh, maybe he was in the room all the time, but she just didn't see it.

Meng Yu took a bowl, picked up some meat and fish, and put it in front of the little loach.

The little loach raised its head high, turned sideways, and faced its butt towards the fragrant dishes.

Zhao Susu was puzzled: "How could there be a dog that doesn't like to eat meat?"

Meng Yu laughed awkwardly: "Is it possible that it's not a dog?"

Zhao Susu glanced at her and smiled helplessly: "If it's not a dog, what else could it be? Your mother can still recognize a dog!"

Meng Yu: “…”

This topic was difficult to discuss, so she quickly changed it: "If it doesn't eat, it's not hungry. It's very strong and can find food by itself. Don't worry about it. Mom, let's eat!"

After her life became stable, Zhao Susu's cooking skills improved. Her food was delicious to begin with, and now it tastes even better.

Meng Yu, whose belly was bulging with food, sighed with satisfaction.

It's okay to keep living like this!

She turned around and saw Zhao Susu, who was beaming with joy. Something was wrong. Even though it was her birthday, she was smiling so brightly. Could it be... that she was going to have a second birthday?

Meng Yu blinked her eyes, her eyes full of curiosity: "Mom, do you seem to be having some happy event?"

When Zhao Susu heard this, she smiled even more.

She gently rubbed Meng Yu's little head: "There is a big happy event!"

"What's the big happy event? Did mother meet an uncle she likes?"

Zhao Susu was startled, then she understood what she meant, and her face immediately turned red. She said speechlessly, "What are you talking about, little kid?"

Before Meng Yu could say anything shocking, she shared her joy: "Today, someone bought three sets of clothes at once and ordered seventeen sets. Mother will be busy for the next half month."

This is a big business, and it is a big business that Zhao Susu has taken on independently.

Meng Yu was delighted: "Really, Mom is so amazing!"

Zhao Susu was very happy, not only because she was happy about the business, but also because she was able to gradually open a shop with her own abilities, and the business was getting better and better.

"Then why do customers need so many clothes?" Zhao Susu's embroidery skills are good, and the clothes she makes are very fine. Although the shop has only been open for two or three months, no one who comes to buy clothes is dissatisfied.

"Mother doesn't know either. She only knows that a rich man in the county wants it. Tomorrow morning, mother will go buy some cloth!"

"Don't we still have some fabric at home?"

"Oh, that lady said it was made for her master's aunt. None of these materials are suitable. She has to use materials like Liucai woven flower brocade and Yanluo Huanhua brocade!"

Meng Yu's eyes flickered: "I'll go with mom tomorrow!"

"it is good!"

The next morning, the mother and daughter went to the cloth shop. After listening to Zhao Susu's needs, the shop owner smiled bitterly and said, "Madam Zhao, these are all acquaintances. I won't hide it from you. Who in our town would use such material? Even if we import such material, no one will make it. Wouldn't that mean we will lose money? If you want these, you may have to go to the county town."

"Are there none of these four?"

"No, no, it's good enough to have it in the county town. That kind of expensive fabric is only worn by wealthy families. Although there are rich families in our town, they buy their clothes directly from Jinshang Huafu in the county town. I've never heard of them having them custom-made!"

"Uncle, is this material very expensive?"

"Of course, it's expensive. Silk is expensive, right? More expensive than silk!"

Zhao Susu's expression changed a little.

Meng Yu felt the smile disappear from her face and thought of a question.

"Uncle, besides the silk and satin shop in the county town, is there no other place that sells these?"

"Then you can go to a merchant house and ask if they have any. Another option is to buy from the merchants who produce these materials."

"Uncle, do you have any connections?"

The shopkeeper looked at the silent, panic-stricken adult and the clever child with big, flashing eyes, and felt that something seemed to be wrong.

Why don’t the adults ask questions, but the children are asking all kinds of questions?

He doesn't speak.

How can I easily tell others the source of this supply?

Will you still do business after I tell him?

No matter how Meng Yu asked, the shopkeeper refused to say another word.

Since there was no answer here, they could only give up. After the mother and daughter left the shop, Meng Yu asked about her previous concerns: "Mom, did the man who came to order it have a price agreed upon? What price did you give?"

Zhao Susu's face fell, and she was filled with panic and helplessness. She rubbed her clothes, almost tearing the fabric, and stammered like a child who had done something wrong: "I, I think it should be more expensive than our clothes, but I thought it couldn't be more expensive than silk, so I decided to order 800 coins per set."

Meng Yu's mouth twitched. Seeing that Zhao Susu was about to cry, she comforted her, "We have to go to the silk and satin shop in the county to buy this fabric. Let's go and have a look first. Maybe it's not that expensive."

Zhao Susu nodded blankly, but her mood had already dropped.

In the past, she was only responsible for making the clothes. She knew the quality of the materials, but she didn't know the price! Because they didn't need to worry about things like purchasing.

The most expensive silk in the town's shop was three taels of silver a piece. She thought that one piece could make four sets, and what the lady said might not be as expensive as silk. She ordered eight hundred coins for a set, and she felt a little guilty about it.

Now it seems that this is far from the case! She might even have fallen into someone else's trap!
