Thinking of this, Manager Guan felt very fortunate.
After He Tiantian left last time, he went to the market to buy pork.
There were three people in front of the stall, including him.
But the butcher contracted the plague and was taken away by the government officials the next day.
The other two men who went to sell meat were also infected, but the shopkeeper was the only one who was still fine.
After much thought, Manager Guan finally figured it out.
He wore a mask and listened to Sister He's advice to never talk to anyone when he went out and to maintain a safe distance.
"Sister He, thank you so much! You're my savior." Manager Guan was so moved he almost cried.
He Tiantian shook her head, "No, you don't need to be so polite. Besides, even if you are infected now, you can be cured. The magistrate has already had someone find the prescription."
The manager also heard about this, and he seemed to see a glimmer of hope.
If the plague can be cured, then the lifting of the lockdown will not be far off.
That way, he can sell some of the clothes and fabrics in his shop, at least enough to avoid losing too much money.
"By the way, Sister He. I remember your family isn't from around here. Why are you in the city again? It's not safe in the city right now," Manager Guan asked curiously.
He Tiantian then told him that she had been living in Changning County these past few days, but she covered up the matter of the government office and the prescription.
"What volunteer? I don't understand."
Manager Guan was completely confused. This Sister He was doing volunteer work in the city? What kind of volunteer work?
"It's just taking care of those patients who have contracted the plague; it's my small way of doing my part!" He Tiantian explained.
"Ah... Sister-in-law, I've known for a long time that you're a good person. I just didn't expect you to be this kind of person." Manager Guan couldn't help but look at He Tiantian with even greater admiration.
"I wanted to talk to you about something else today." Seeing that she had already wasted a lot of time, He Tiantian got straight to the point.
She pointed to the gauze fabric in the shop, "Didn't you want to sell these fabrics?"
Manager Guan's eyes lit up, and he nodded frantically like a chick pecking at rice.
"I have a good idea, but you might have to work a little harder."
"It's not hard work at all! As long as I can sell this misty rain gauze, I'd be willing to stay up for three days straight!" Compared to losing money, what's a little hardship!
“Alright, people can’t go out right now because of the epidemic, so they naturally can’t buy your misty rain gauze. When the restrictions are lifted, you probably won’t be able to sell all of this at once. So I suggest you make some of these misty rain gauze into scarves and headscarves.” He Tiantian analyzed seriously.
"Silk scarves and headscarves? What are these?" Manager Guan had never heard of them before.
Moreover, even wealthy nobles never mentioned these two words.
He Tiantian looked around and then picked up paper and pen.
She drew several designs for silk scarves and several designs for headscarves.
"Just do it this way! Right now, no clothing store in the entire Changning County sells this. If you succeed, I guarantee you won't just break even, you'll make a fortune!"
He Tiantian stood on tiptoe and patted Manager Guan on the shoulder earnestly.
