Chapter 012 Luring the snake out of the hole
Su Nianan's heart moved, and she remembered that the old shopkeeper mentioned to her before leaving that there was another reason why he stopped doing this business besides going home to take care of the children.
That's because I've been squeezed out by surrounding merchants.
The old shopkeeper is kind and kind, so he has many customers, so he always has many repeat customers and business is good.
But this caused the jealousy of the surrounding merchants, so they joined forces to make trouble. The old shopkeeper was a little discouraged and had the idea of quitting.
As for Su Nian'an, a store that had just opened and business was doing very well, it was their fault.
Therefore, he was bound to be ostracized by them. Su Nian'an secretly made a mental note, and it seemed that he would have to be extra careful in the coming time.
Thinking of this, Su Nian'an stopped the waiter who was about to part ways and go home.
"Brother Lin, you have to pay special attention in the next time. After all, you have been doing this for a long time and you know a lot about the people around you. You have to guard the door for me!"
The waiter nodded seriously, "Don't worry, shopkeeper, whoever causes trouble is my enemy, and I will definitely protect our Xiuyi Xuan."
"But don't worry too much. When friends come, there is good wine. When jackals come, there are shotguns. We are not afraid of slanting shadows."
Although the guy didn't know the meaning of Su Nian'an's words, he could feel that her words were very powerful.
Seeing his expression, Su Nian'an didn't explain much. After nodding slightly, she took Aunt Zheng's arm and turned around to go home.
After the man secretly made up his mind, he walked firmly towards home.
Su Nianan and his wife were not idle after returning home, because they had sold seven of the eleven pieces of Hanfu they had made before.
There are only four pieces left, and they are from the first day. There may be more outbreaks. At this rate, there may be more tomorrow.
But thinking about the arrangements in the store, she wasn't very anxious.
However, in order to avoid excessive backlog, it is better to catch up on the work, and things will get better after gradually getting back on track.
They planned to make four pieces as fast as possible at night. According to the previous style, Su Nianan was helping and Aunt Zheng was in charge of making them.
So they started to work.
From 6:30 in the afternoon to 11:30 in the evening, relying on my high enough proficiency, I rushed to complete the production of four pieces of Hanfu.
They both just took a quick shower and went to bed to rest.
The next day, both of them got up late. They didn't get up until 7:30. By the time they got to the store, it was already after 8:00.
The waiter was already standing guard at the door of the store, and Su Nian'an and the other two hurriedly smiled and said hello.
Several people opened the store door and started preparations.
Soon, people began to enter the store. Unlike the herd effect yesterday, the crowd today was relatively smaller than yesterday.
But today, all the people who came here seemed to be rich or noble, and their clothes and conversation were much better.
At this time, the waiter became the greeter at the door, and Aunt Zheng acted as the accountant.
The sign hanging on the hanger reads: "Accepting reservations, choose your own style, guaranteed replacement within seven days."
Everyone who enters the store can see this brand. It feels fresh and I have never seen it before.
So people who came into the store not only looked at the clothes, but also kept flipping through the fabrics on the shelves, thinking about what kind of clothes they were going to make.
When the waiter saw the situation in the store, his face became even more happy and he smiled even more attentively.
Just like this, after three more days, an average of five pieces of clothing were sold every day. Aunt Zheng could handle it without being too busy at all.
Although they had been a little anxious these past few days, it had actually been calm all the time.
Su Nian'an guessed that it might be because Lin Waner and the others had been to their store and seemed to have a good relationship with each other.
But this is not a good thing. It is very likely that they will come back secretly even if they know it is not possible.
After all, it is easy to hide from open guns and hard to guard against hidden arrows. You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days.
After thinking for a few days, Su Nian'an decided to lure the snake out of the hole.
In the morning, Su Nian'an took advantage of a time when the flow of people was not very large, and informed Aunt Zheng and the clerk that they were going out, so she pretended to buy something and left the store carrying a basket.
Coupled with Su Nian'an's deliberate efforts in the past few days, people around him thought he had indeed gone shopping, so they didn't pay attention.
When he arrived at the place where he bought daily necessities, Su Nian'an carefully selected a few daily necessities and began to walk back.
On the way back, while the people around her were not paying attention, she took the basket and went around into a small alley.
After several twists and turns, she appeared near the county captain's mansion.
After being informed and showing the token, Su Nian'an was introduced into the county captain's mansion through the side door.
An hour later, Su Nian'an was quietly sent out of the side door of the County Lieutenant's Mansion.
When the two broke up, Lin Waner said softly: "Sister An, please don't worry, I will definitely help you with this little favor. You can go back to work with peace of mind."
…
Soon, Su Nian'an returned to the store, carrying a basket of supplies and entering the Embroidery Pavilion with a normal expression.
It was close to noon when they came back, so the few of them prepared to close the shop and prepare for the afternoon.
The three of them were in the store. After Su Nian'an gave a few detailed instructions to Aunt Zheng and the waiter, the waiter nodded seriously, and then the three of them went out for lunch.
In the afternoon, neither the clerk nor Aunt Zheng came to the store. When there was the largest flow of people, three more people suddenly came to the store.
One of the three people held up a piece of cloth. The style looked very similar to the one in Su Nian'an's store, and he started shouting after entering the store.
"Come and take a look! I just bought the cloth here this morning. When I went back and looked at it, I found that there were several holes chewed by mice."
As the man spoke, he opened the cloth.
There are indeed several holes in the cloth, and they do look like holes chewed by mice.
When people in the store saw this, they all looked at Su Nian'an suspiciously.
Su Nian'an stepped forward with a calm smile, "Guests, please calm down and tell me what the price was when you bought it this morning."
Several people's voices were stagnant, "I can't remember exactly, but I bought it from here anyway, don't you admit it? Is this your attitude after selling bad things to us customers?"
Su Nian'an seemed to look around the crowd casually, and felt reassured when she saw the waiter and Aunt Zheng nodding slightly at her in the crowd.
So he nodded slightly at the two of them, and the clerk stepped forward first, pointing at the yelling man and an accomplice next to him, "I just saw you two coming out of Li's Cloth Shop outside, holding exactly the same cloth in your hands.
.”
The man's face changed slightly, and he stretched out his trembling right hand and pointed at the clerk, "You're talking nonsense, I bought the cloth here."
But the crowd watching around him saw something unusual in his performance.
