Chapter 21 The First Business



But it still felt a bit weird. After all, it looked like she was inviting a child to come home to play. Although she knew that this was not the case, it still felt very strange.

The little girl shook her head and said, "No, I just wanted to ask if there is a tailor here. I want to make a few clothes for me and my children."

Wow! Business is coming!

Mother Xu said, "Yes, yes, come in and tell me."

The little girl followed him inside. Mother Xu asked, "Just call me Aunt Xu. My grandmother's skill in making clothes is unparalleled. By the way, what's your name?"

"Auntie, just call me Xiao Wang."

Grandma Xu had finished her meal by now and took the little girl into the next room where the sewing machine was. Xu Tiantu also followed her in and climbed onto the kang. She wanted to witness her family's first business deal with her own eyes.

Grandma Xu asked, "How many pieces of clothing do you want to make?"

Miss Wang thought for a moment and asked, "Is it fast? I haven't made clothes yet. We need to make clothes for two people. I only need two or three sets to alternate between, and the child may need more."

Grandma Xu said, "Don't make too many for children. At this age, they don't need to be changed that quickly, so they just need more diapers. They grow very fast at this age, so it won't matter if you make too many now. Besides, the weather isn't cold, so having a cloth bag is more convenient than anything else."

Miss Wang obviously didn't understand what Grandma Xu was talking about. She didn't know anyone in the community except the security guard and the property manager. When someone told her this, she naturally had to ask more questions. "Grandma, tell me how much is appropriate. The natives from their world will be arriving in the village in two or three days, and I want to get everything done before then."

Everyone is actually quite anxious at this moment, after all, time is a bit tight.

But it is a book-traveling game after all, and there were hints about the era system before, so everyone has actually prepared a lot of clothes from the era. However, no one expected that there would be such a big change in age, so those clothes not only did not fit, but were much larger and could not be worn at all, especially shoes and pants.

"By the way, grandma, can you make shoes? I can't wear the shoes I have now."

The other person is now wearing a pair of cloth shoes with thousand-layer soles. They are indeed something from this era, but they are much larger and can hardly be used as slippers.

Grandma Xu said, "What size do you wear? We have extra finished products and can give you a pair first, but there is only one pair. I saw someone in my address book who specializes in making shoes. You can try them on first, and then I will find someone to make them."

Everyone was willing to help as much as they could, something they had already discussed last night. After all, shoes were relatively easy to deal with, unlike things like baby formula that were only for certain age groups, which would become particularly conspicuous if they were in large quantities.

Little Wang was very happy: "Thank you, Grandma Xu, how much is it?"

"Do you want to pay with your balance?" Grandma Xu was quite surprised when she heard this. If she had a cash balance, she could shop online on the system computer.

"How can I get this?" Miss Wang said helplessly. "If I had this, I wouldn't worry. Can I exchange it with something of equal value? Just look at what you need and I'll exchange it for you. Yes, I wear size 36 shoes."

Grandma Xu was delighted. She had originally planned to ask Little Bunny to sell a pair of shoes from the app, as a way to help someone out. It wasn't free, after all, but if it was a size 36, there was no need to worry.

She said, "I'm 36 too, I can just find you a pair."

She has grown from 69 to over 40 years old, but her shoe size has not changed. When she used the time travel welfare money to buy things, she bought them according to her own size. Since her shoe size has not changed after the time travel, she can naturally continue to wear the clothes.

"That's great! Grandma, what do you want to change?"

Grandma Xu's abacus clattered: "The shoes cost 25.8. Since this is our first business, I'll give you 25. Just give me a 10-jin bag of rice."

Miss Wang calculated that she had bought many varieties of rice while shopping, and the more common ones were just over two yuan per pound, so the price was fine. She nodded immediately, "Okay."

So Grandma Xu took out a pair of the most common black, white-soled thousand-layer cloth shoes and said, "Here, try these on first to see if they fit. It's okay if these shoes are a little tight; they'll loosen up after a few wears."

"Okay." Miss Wang put on her shoes and walked around on the ground, finding that they fit perfectly. "This is good. When they get a little loose, it'll be time to put on socks. I guess they'll be just right by then."
