He Tiantian nodded, "Thank you for your trouble, Miss Xiaoyun."

Liu Yulan couldn't help but glance at Xiaoyun. Her light red blouse was embroidered with small white flowers, and her blue pants looked brand new.

Despite being roughly the same age as her, she looked disheveled and tired.

Liu Yulan lowered her head in embarrassment, staring blankly at the pair of worn-out cloth shoes on her feet.

These were already her best pair of shoes, but compared to the shoes that Xiaoyun had just worn, they were incomparable.

Tao seemed more composed; she was simply overwhelmed by the sheer variety of fabrics and garments in the shop.

The city is great; she should have come to the city to find a job sooner.

After waiting a while, Manager Guan came downstairs.

Although he had stayed up several all-nighters, he still seemed quite energetic. It seemed that he was close to succeeding in the underwear idea He Tiantian had suggested last time.

"Sister He, you've arrived." Manager Guan seemed particularly happy to see He Tiantian.

His gaze fell on Tao Shi and Yulan behind him, and he hesitated for a moment.

He Tiantian didn't want to exchange pleasantries with him, so she got straight to the point: "Shopkeeper, these are the two shop assistants I hired for you. This is my sister-in-law, Tao, and this is Miss Yulan. I've always treated her like my own daughter since she was little."

Manager Guan was quite satisfied, and when he heard that it was someone close to Sister He, he was even happier.

He cupped his hands and said, "Then I must thank Sister He. Sister He is really amazing. She recruited people right away when she said she needed them."

He Tiantian was a little embarrassed. "I've brought the people to you. They're all close relatives. I'm happy if they can help Manager Guan."

Manager Guan instructed Xiaoyun to take Tao Shi and Liu Yulan to the back to settle into their lodgings. The two women also brought luggage, and Dahai and Xiangbei busied themselves unloading the luggage from the carriage and carrying it to the backyard.

During this break, Manager Guan talked to He Tiantian about some problems they encountered in making thermal underwear.

For example, if we make them all the same, there might be issues like sizes not matching. How can we solve that?

He Tiantian suggested that it's best to have things made to order, especially underwear. Therefore, it would be more convenient for an experienced woman to make these things.

He Tiantian then recommended Tao Shi to Manager Guan, saying that Tao Shi was meticulous and attentive in her work. It was this kind of person who could win the customers' favor and trust.

He Tiantian also took down the forty rabbit skins she had brought.

She handed all the rabbit pelts to Manager Guan, suggesting, "These are all pelts from domesticated snow rabbits, and the fur is of exceptional quality. You can make them into scarves in advance to keep warm during the winter."

Scarf? ??

Shopkeeper Guan pondered the two words carefully, then asked, puzzled, "Sister He, is this scarf the same as a silk scarf?"

He Tiantian then explained to the shopkeeper in detail what a scarf was: it was fluffy and perfect for keeping warm in winter.
