"And the families in the village who know how to weave have also started working. Some people are worried that we won't accept their finished products," Zhao said.
Zhou Quan nodded, "Mother, write down the names of all the families who weave cloth for us on a piece of paper. We need to estimate how many families there are and how much cloth they can produce. If you think the cloth is finished and there are no problems, then we'll buy it. Ask Xiaomai about the price tomorrow."
"Also, tell them that we will accept any cloth that is usable. We are dyeing it to make clothes, so we definitely don't want substandard products. Tell them to be careful when weaving the cloth."

She prepared the food for Li Mai first, and then had Zhou Quan send it back. After that, she continued to prepare their dinner.
Unexpectedly, Yun Chang came to the village at dinner time.
