The casual life of the flat space

Bai Tieying stewed a duck for her uncle for dinner. Of course, the job of removing the feathers had to be done by the professional Bai Tiexiong. This scene made her uncle glare at Bai Tieying again and again, and finally Dafu couldn't stand it anymore and helped.

Bai Tieying pouted and said that Uncle was partial, and said a lot of sour words. Bai Tiexiong and Uncle Dafu were so scared that they dared not say a word, and went to play somewhere else after removing the fur, leaving Uncle alone to blow his beard and glare.

But the uncle also knew that what she said was right. Bai Tieying was just not narrow-minded and said what she wanted to say at that time. Otherwise, if it were someone else, who knows what would happen.

It's not that he doesn't like Bai Tieying, but Bai Tieying is already ten years old, a grown-up girl. Bai Tiexiong can only hold her for two years, but after two years, he can't hold her anymore, so he unconsciously loves her more. Uncle Ye also secretly reminds himself not to be too close to Tiexiong, as this will hurt the relationship between the two sisters.

After dinner, everyone left the space and went back to their rooms to sleep, and had another good night’s sleep.

Knowing that Manager Zhang and his wife were coming, the uncle didn't go to the space in the morning. Bai Tieying cooked the meal in the space and brought it out to eat.

Uncle has been fascinated by Bai Tieying's method of making flower tea these days, and he even mixed some herbs with Bai Tieying to make a drink. When Zhang and his wife came to visit, Uncle asked them to serve it to them.

This made Zhang see the business opportunity again, and he discussed with his uncle and Bai Tieying to ask for the recipe to sell. Bai Tieying sighed in his heart, otherwise people can open a store for a hundred years, everything is money!

After seeing off Zhang and his wife, Bai Tieying also said goodbye to her uncle and went shopping. Yesterday morning, she asked around for boats for sale, and there was only one store. When they said they had one, she left with them, and didn't have time to buy anything else.

I had used up most of what I bought last time, so this time I bought mostly food. When I walked to Sijixin, I suddenly remembered an idea I had thought of before, so I walked in. It was still the same waiter from last time. When he saw that Bai Tieying still remembered this guest, he came forward to greet him warmly.

Bai Tieying chatted with the waiter for a while, and when he asked her what she wanted, she said she wanted to see the shopkeeper.

"Young girl, why do you want to see me?" the shopkeeper said behind the counter.

"Hello, Grandpa! I'm Bai Tieying. I'm sorry to bother you. I just want to tell you something!"

"Oh? Then you and I come over here."

The shopkeeper took Bai Tieying to a corner behind the shelves in the shop, which looked like an accounting office. After sitting down, Bai Tieying asked, "I have yet to ask for your name, shopkeeper?"

"Haha, I don't deserve it. Please excuse me for asking for my surname Xiang."

"Grandpa Xiang, I know that I am a nobody and my ideas may not be mature and can be easily imitated, so I just want to provide you with an idea. You can give me some discounts when you buy things from Four Seasons in the future. But I think that even if this method cannot bring you high profits, it can also make your store more distinctive."

"Miss Bai's thoughts and courage are beyond ordinary people. I can promise you that if I adopt your method in my new season, I can give you a 10% discount on anything you buy in the future."

"Thank you, Grandpa Xiang, for your appreciation. I call this thing a quilt cover. The method is to make the quilt into a cover, put the opening at the end into the quilt, and then tie the sewing rope. This makes it easier to wash. Maybe the idea is not mature, so please forgive me, Grandpa Xiang."

When Bai Tieying came before, the guy said something like "moving into a new house", but in fact it was just a nice way of saying it because he knew she had nothing at home, so he bought so many things and only ended up with twenty-five taels of silver.

Although the new quilt was very good, Bai Tieying thought about taking apart the old quilt, washing it, and keeping it as a cushion. But when she took it apart, she found that it was just filled with some grass, catkins, and old clothes. She thought about it and sewed it back together because she was afraid that if she took it apart, she would not be able to put it back together.

But she also took apart the new quilt to see that the things inside were new at best. If it were winter, she would have to shiver to keep warm. So she came today, firstly to make a new quilt, and secondly, because of the experience of taking apart the quilt this time, she felt that the detachable quilt cover of the original world was more convenient. She thought that if she did it, people would know about it, so she might as well take the opportunity to get some benefits.

Bai Tieying continued, "Grandpa Xiang, I came here this time just to make something according to my ideas. It's a good opportunity for you to see if my method is practical."

"Yes, of course. Miss Bai, please come this way."

After listening to Bai Tieying's words, Manager Xiang really thought that this thing was feasible, but without a concrete object, it was hard to say. But even if this thing was not feasible, they would do it if others asked them to, so it was better to do a favor and see how the "quilt cover" was made.

Bai Tieying first asked for a two-jin silk quilt lining, and then asked for a second-rate cloth of the right length and width to be sewn together with the silk quilt in a diamond shape. She did not ask for the popular open quilt with no seams at both ends, because it went against her idea and lost the meaning of removing and washing the quilt cover, but she also explained to Xiang that if anyone minded, they could leave it unsewn.

Finally, she used linen to make the quilt cover. She told the tailor how to make it once and he understood it. However, he confirmed that she wanted to do it this way before cutting it. Because it was all straight, Bai Tieying finished sewing it in a short time.

She held one end of the quilt in her hand, reached in from the bottom of the quilt cover, aligned the two corners of the quilt head, then turned back to align the two corners of the quilt foot, shook it, stretched it, and finally tied the cloth rope sewn on the opening of the quilt foot. The simple and easy-to-operate "one-person quilt method" made Manager Xiang secretly think - this method is feasible!

"Grandpa Xiang, you can also sew a rope at each of the four corners of the quilt lining and the quilt cover to tie them together, so as to prevent the quilt lining and the quilt cover from separating during the bedding process. But I will do it this way first to save time, so that you can have a general idea, and then do the detailed processing later.

In addition to being convenient for changing and washing, this method can also increase the chances of customers repurchasing. For ordinary people like us, it’s OK, but wealthy families make dozens of pieces of clothes a year, but there is nothing about quilts! If you open up this market, the future of the Four Seasons New will have a new look.

In addition, these materials can be replaced, depending on your preference. I won’t go into details because you are the expert.”

"Okay, okay, Miss Bai, your idea works, it works! I never thought that you are not only brave but also smart and clever at such a young age... I have changed my mind. From now on, I will give you a 20% discount on everything you buy at my Four Seasons New Store!" Shopkeeper Xiang said with satisfaction, stroking his beard.
