Gu Yundong glared at him. “Dream on. Do you want to choose silk? Just choose something that looks clean, neat, warm, and without patches.”
Zhuangzi nodded, but he was still very happy. At least he had new clothes to wear.
Seeing that he had gone to choose, Gu Yundong said to Shao Qingyuan, “Help Shopkeeper Zheng choose a set too. Since Zhuangzi has been given work clothes, it doesn’t make sense that the shopkeeper doesn’t have them. See which one is suitable.”
“Work clothes?” Shao Qingyuan’s expression softened. The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
“Yes.” Gu Yundong pointed at Zhuangzi. “We can’t let him wear those clothes to entertain the guests, right? Treat it as a benefit in our shop.”
Our shop? Shao Qingyuan’s expression brightened. “Alright, I’ll choose.”
The clothes given to the shopkeeper were definitely different from the shop assistant’s. Shao Qingyuan estimated Zheng Gang’s figure and quickly chose a set for him.
Zhuangzi returned very quickly. He was still a little apprehensive, but seeing that Gu Yundong had no objections and readily paid, he became happy again.
When they arrived at the shop, Zheng Gang was already waiting there.
Gu Yundong knew that there would definitely be a lot of customers for white sugar during the first three days. Some people would repeatedly buy a few more kilograms, or give them away, or sell them in the prefectural city. Gu Yundong could not care less.
The amount she produced was limited, and it was only a small matter. The imperial court was the main force, and they did not care about her small amount of candy.
After a busy day, Gu Yundong was quite satisfied with Zheng Gang and Zhuangzi.
However, during lunch, she saw Zhuangzi take out two hard and cold pancakes from his pocket and her eyebrows could not help but twitch.
There was a kitchen in the backyard of the shop. Gu Yundong could just let them use it.
Surprisingly, Zhuangzi actually knew how to cook. Although it was average, he would not starve to death.
Gu Yundong thought for a moment and gave them an extra 500 copper coins to buy the ingredients and cook for themselves. It could be considered free lunch. 500 copper coins was completely enough.
Zhuangzi was extremely excited, and so was Zheng Gang. He had originally asked his wife to deliver lunch to him every day.
The next day was the Laba Festival. Gu Yundong asked the Tong family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to make a large pot of Laba porridge for the holiday.
She also planned to go to the shop and stay for half a day before coming back. Zheng Gang and Zhuangzi were basically fine.
However, just as she was about to go home, an uninvited guest came to the shop..
