Upon hearing that the daily portion sizes were being reduced, many people fell silent.

The opportunity to grab a number is hard to come by. If you finally manage to grab a number but can only buy a tiny bit, wouldn't that be a loss?

"Cloud store owner, can you raise more next year? There are too few."

"Yes, yes, and we can also grow more vegetables. There's too little; it's not enough to eat."

The group then changed the subject and started chatting amongst themselves.

Yun Zhiyi smiled and nodded, "The quantity of fruits, vegetables and meats will indeed be increased tomorrow, and new products will also be added."

"What new product?" Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up again.

By this time, the shop assistants had already removed the wooden boards from the shop door and were carrying the vegetables to the shelves.

She waved her hand, "We'll know when the time comes."

One guest protested, "Could the number of spots be increased next year? There are too few now, and it's too difficult to get one."

In this queue, some people spent seven or eight days trying to finally get a number.

If there are more and more people in the future, it might take ten days or half a month to get a number.

Yun Zhiyi had already walked behind the counter, shaking her head with a wry smile.

Around noon, after the morning rush hour, she left the vegetable stall.

However, this time they didn't go straight back to the village, but instead planned to visit two other shops along the way.

Yunshu Clothing Store has been preparing for this, and the first batch of new fabric garments should be available soon.

She left the matter entirely to Youniang as a test for her, and basically didn't interfere.

Yunjuan Cloth Shop remains the same as before.

This year's main focus is on clearing out existing inventory.

However, a considerable amount of the newly dyed fabric has already been produced, and a new batch will be launched next year or before the new year.

She wasn't in a hurry to make money, so she was indifferent to the two stores.

But now, to build up power, you have to invest a lot of money.

So she plans to turn these two stores into money pits as well.

She first went to Yunshu Clothing Store.

Upon arrival, a single glance was enough to make her raise an eyebrow in surprise.

Yunshu Clothing Store is located in a pretty good location; although it's not in a commercial center, its location is quite eye-catching.

Previously, it was similar to the surrounding shops, just selling fabric, so it seemed to blend into the crowd and didn't stand out.

But Youniang specially redecorated the shop.

It's clearly not a major change, just a makeover, but it's still quite eye-catching.

The signboard above the shop has been replaced with a carved wooden plaque. The four characters "Yun Shu Yi Ge" in the middle are not colored, but only outlined with light gold powder.

The empty space around the name is carved with openwork paintings similar to those in shadow puppetry.

The patterns are all various clothing styles and designs.

Although there are many carvings, the craftsman's skill is profound and the arrangement is excellent, so it does not appear cluttered at all, but rather refreshing.

It stands out immediately among a long row of shops with identical signs.

In addition, a row of small wooden clothing samples hangs under the eaves of the shop.

A small bell hangs below.

When the wind blows, it rings out with a pleasant sound.

A string of ornaments also hangs from the eaves next to the pillars on both sides.

However, this pendant is no longer in the style of clothing carved from wooden pieces.

Instead, they are miniature clothing styles made of various fabrics, strung together and hung as two strips.

The colors are well-matched, and each piece of clothing looks very exquisite.

Some of the fabrics shimmered in the sunlight, making them particularly attractive.

With this arrangement, the entire storefront is fully highlighted.

It's sure to make people want to take a look.

Looking further inside, everything else was blocked, but you could see a large wall in front of you with two sets of clothes, one for a man and one for a woman, neatly hanging.

These two outfits are standard styles, but the tailor's craftsmanship is clearly excellent.

Even ordinary clothes, if well-tailored and embroidered, can look stunning.

However, what attracts the most attention is a huge table that looks like a carved wooden bed placed on the ground in front of the wall.

Wooden poles were attached to the four corner pillars of the table, on which cut-out fabric pieces or semi-finished clothes were scattered.

A layer of white pearlescent brocade was spread out on the table.

She couldn't resist walking further inside, wanting to see what was on the table.

The staff at the door were all new; I'd never seen her before.

Thinking that guests had arrived, she immediately put on a smiling face.

"Welcome, esteemed guest. Please come in. Are you here to pick up a garment or to have one custom-made?"

Yun Zhiyi walked into the store.

The store has also undergone a major transformation.

The entire lobby was cleared out.

The wall between the fabric sales area and the rest area was removed, making the entire store feel more spacious.

On the right is a long mahogany counter.

Several female shop assistants were serving customers behind the counter.

On the counter were beautifully illustrated booklets.

The guests were watching with curiosity.

Yun Zhiyi didn't go over.

She waved her hand, "I'll take a look myself first."

Upon hearing this, the shop assistant didn't try to sell anything; instead, she tactfully smiled and agreed, then stepped aside.

"Please feel free to ask if you need anything."

Yun Zhiyi nodded, indicating that she was fairly satisfied with the hospitality.

I glanced to the left first.

The wall on the left was also decorated.

The walls are decorated with carved wood borders.

In the middle hung several exquisite single garments.

Below, there is a long row of wooden figures, like mannequins, placed in pairs.

Some even feature not only male and female models, but also one or two child models.

These models are all wearing different styles of clothes, creating a dazzling array of options.

Compared to ordinary clothing stores, simply hanging them up creates a more visually impactful effect.

She had only casually suggested to Youniang that they could make some wooden figures to use as clothes hangers.
