Several other farms are still supplying as usual, but a few have asked whether the purchase price could be increased.

Shu Wan shook her head and refused. It was not that she was stingy, but the purchased feathers needed to be screened, dried, disinfected and a series of other tasks. The costs were not low in the later stages, especially now that there were no machines and everything was done manually. The profit from making a down jacket was not as much as outsiders imagined.

After hearing the news brought by Su Jiaping, Shu Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

After this batch of feathers is processed, there will probably be enough to sell until the beginning of spring. Then she can control the purchase volume of feathers. If other farms are unwilling to cooperate, the loss will not be too big for her.

Shu Wan told Su Jiaping that he could start preparing spring clothes.

Su Jiaping was originally worried, but when he saw Shu Wan holding a stack of design drawings, his frown relaxed, "Sister, those people are going to regret this."

"Don't worry about them. We can make spring clothes now and put them on the shelves when the weather gets warmer."

"good."

After explaining things to Su Jiaping, Shu Wan was not idle either. She put on her coat and went out, planning to go into the city.

As soon as I went out, I saw a jeep parked at the door.

The closer she got, the more familiar it looked. Shu Wan walked to the jeep and knocked on the window.

The car window rolled down, revealing the man's sharp and tough face.

"Why are you here?" Shu Wan was a little surprised.

Huo Zhengye opened the car door and walked around to the other side, "I'll take you home."

People were looking over there, and there were familiar faces in the crowd. Shu Wan was afraid of attracting attention, so she got into the car quickly.

After getting in the car, she covered her face and said, "Let's go."

The car started, Shu Wan sat up straight and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't come next time."

Huo Zhengye felt a headache watching Shu Wan's attempt to cover up her mistake. He didn't understand why Shu Wan didn't want to be with him openly. Aren't they husband and wife?

Huo Zhengye frowned, looking a little unhappy.

Shu Wan seemed to notice that the atmosphere was a bit heavy. "I'm afraid you're too tired. Next time, just wait for me at home."

Home.

Huo Zhengye's unhappiness was blown away by the breeze and disappeared in an instant.

Seeing that Huo Zhengye was no longer angry, Shu Wan also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't go home yet, I need to go to the store."

"good."

When they arrived at the store, Shu Wan asked about the recent sales and anomalies. He Cheng said a few simple words and Shu Wan left.

"Going home?" Huo Zhengye asked.

Shu Wan shook her head, "We need to go somewhere else."

"I send you."

"No, just walk over there."

Huo Zhengye heard this and put the key on his waist, "I'll go with you."

Shu Wan didn't care, her mind was full of what He Cheng said.

"Sister Shu Wan, the customers are so weird lately. They just look but don't buy. Although there were such people before, there are so many of them recently. Nine out of ten just look but don't buy."

"There is another very strange thing. I remember a customer came to the store but didn't buy anything. But when she went out the next day, I saw her wearing our down jacket. Isn't that strange?"

…

The store is located in a commercial street with shops at the front and stalls at the back.

Shu Wan brought Huo Zhengye to the street corner and visited each house one by one. As the saying goes, one must know oneself and know the enemy. She wanted to see what was going on.

I looked at each store one by one and finally saw a familiar down jacket at a stall at the end of the street.

Unlike their store, where the clothes were hung on hangers and displayed in the window, the clothes here were piled up in the back of a truck.

At the bottom was a huge white cloth to prevent the clothes from getting dirty.

Huo Zhengye followed Shu Wan's line of sight and was stunned. "These look like the clothes in your store."
