Before the opening of Manrou Garment Workshop, Xiaoman had already determined the type of store to operate.

Because she had offered embroidery to Tianyi Pavilion when she was in Taoyuan County before, Xiaoman and Zhao Shopkeeper of Tianyi Pavilion were quite familiar, so she was quite familiar with all kinds of things sold in the store, and she also knew a little about the steps of making clothes.

In addition, Xia Wanrou helped her with reference, so Manrou Garment Workshop is a company that mainly makes clothes, supplemented by sporadic embroidery, and occasionally sells gadgets such as handkerchiefs and purses.

There are four or five ready-to-wear shops on the whole street, many of which are time-honored, but each has its own characteristics, and there is no conflict with each other.

But the newly opened Yaliu Pavilion is imitating the Manrou Garment Workshop in all aspects, from the size of the compartment to the patterns on the book, including the unique feature of the Manrou Garment Workshop that can be delivered to the door, it has also been copied by it.

Xiao Man didn't know how bad this Yaliu Pavilion was, but now that she was pregnant, and Jade was a girl, if the three of them turned back to the theory now, they would definitely suffer.

The shopkeeper spoke, Wang Qi naturally obeyed, and the three of them returned to the Manrou Garment Shop, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the store, Xiao Manchu ordered Wang Qi to close in advance, and a group of people held a meeting in the lobby of the store.

"What's going on, Xiaoman, is it really as the guest said, her family's tricks are the same as ours?" Xia Wanrou couldn't wait to ask.

Without waiting for Xiaoman to speak, Wang Qi couldn't hold back, "It's not just the tricks, but also the various characteristics of our store, they all copied it!" I'm so angry, if it weren't for the shopkeeper stopping me, I would have to reason with them! ”

Jade pursed her lips when she heard this, "Even if the shopkeeper doesn't stop you, you can't theorize about them!" You didn't see that guy's arrogant appearance, if others didn't know the truth in this, they would definitely think that you were finding fault! ”

Wang Qi stood up angrily, "They are so shameless!" It's clear that we copied us, but we're still so arrogant! I'm so! ”

This Wang Qi is young and has a big temperament, but this jade always likes to tease him, which makes this Wang Qi more and more angry, and he can't wait to rush to Yaliu Pavilion to quarrel with them right away.

Seeing this, Xia Wanrou hid her handkerchief and laughed twice, then turned around to talk to Xiao Man, "Xiao Man, tell me, what should we do?" ”

Xiao Man leaned back in his chair and looked at the measured compartment of his shop in a daze.

It is a fact that the materials used in Yaliu Pavilion are the lowest, and the cost is naturally much lower, and the price of the finished product is naturally lower than the price of the Manrou Garment Workshop, so that everyone will naturally go to Yaliu Pavilion to buy things.

If you are not a discerning person, it is difficult to see the difference between the finished clothes of the two companies at a glance.

Looking at Su Xiaoman's sad face, the guys in the store were not in the mood to joke, and Xia Wanrou also sighed and didn't dare to ask.

The shop closed early, and the guys all went home early, Xiao Man and Xia Wanrou did not take the carriage, the two walked back from the store slowly, the atmosphere was much duller along the way, and Xiao Man, who was cheerful in the past, never took the initiative to speak.

Xia Wanrou regretted herself, she knew that Xiao Man would be so worried, she shouldn't have told Xiao Man about it, otherwise it would only make Xiao Man worry about it. She couldn't help sighing, she wanted to persuade but didn't know where to start, so she could only watch Su Xiaoman return to the Lu Mansion accompanied by Pearl and others.

Xiaoman had something hidden in her heart, she didn't notice the sight behind her, she took Pearl's hand back to the bedroom, and after eating, she obediently drank the fetal pills, until she was served and washed and lay down, she still had the things in the store in her heart.

If you study a new trick yourself, then Yaliu Pavilion will definitely have to copy it, if you explain it to the guests one by one, it will be too much waste of time and energy, and this will not necessarily work.

One night, Xiao Man fell asleep like this, even in her dreams, she was still trying to figure out how to prevent Yaliu Pavilion from continuing to copy, so that Xiao Man woke up very early the next day.

After breakfast, Xiaoman went to the street of his shop early.

"Ma'am, is it open so early?"

Xiao Man hesitated for a moment, and then glanced at the west of the street unwillingly, "Go to Yaliu Pavilion." ”

Jade wanted to refute, but Pearl held down her hand, and the two had no choice but to follow Xiaoman to Yaliu Pavilion.

It's still early at this time, and the shops on this street haven't opened much, Xiao Man thought that Yaliuge hadn't opened yet, but he didn't want to just arrive at the door of the store, and there were already customers who had finished buying things and came out.

Yesterday, it was a woman dressed as a man, so when I came back today, the guys in the store didn't recognize Su Xiaoman, and they were still warmly entertained.

Xiao Man didn't rush to look at the pattern book, nor did he ask the guy about the tricks in the store, but lied that there was a big business and wanted to discuss it with the shopkeeper in person.

The man naturally didn't dare to slack off, he carefully took Xiao Man and the others to the back room, and said respectfully: "This is our shopkeeper's room, wait for me to go in and report it, and then invite Mrs. in." “

Xiao Man smiled slightly, and learned Xia Wanrou's calm and relaxed energy, "Don't worry." ”

The man nodded, and immediately opened the door and went in to inform the shopkeeper.

As the guy said, Xiaoman waited for a while, the door opened, and a man in his thirties walked out, he saw Su Xiaoman waiting at the door a little surprised, he couldn't help but turn around and whisper a few words to the guy, and after confirming that Su Xiaoman was the one who came to talk to him about business, he welcomed people in.

"What do you call Madame? What business do you want to talk about with Wang? The man who claimed to be the shopkeeper sat down and looked at Su Xiaoman with a smile, but there was a slight frivolity between his words, and he didn't take Su Xiaoman's woman seriously at all.

However, Su Xiaoman didn't come to do business, and she didn't care about the other party's attitude.

She tasted the tea unhurriedly, pursed her lips and smiled: "My husband's surname is Lu." Shopkeeper Wang, how long have you been open for this shop? Some time ago, you didn't participate in the huge competition in Kyoto? ”

"That?" Shopkeeper Wang sneered: "It's just a lie to the common people, what are you doing in that competition." Although my shop has been open for a short time, I am also qualified to participate in any competition, but I don't bother to go, and at that time I might as well concentrate on researching new embroidery and new patterns in the store, so as to make more money. ”

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper Wang said: "However, does this matter have anything to do with the business that Mrs. Lu is going to talk about next?" ”

"Researching new tricks? Shopkeeper Wang, are all the tricks in your store researched by yourself? It's a novelty to look at, and I've never seen it anywhere else in Shangjing. "Xiao Man is good step by step.

Shopkeeper Wang smiled and cocked Erlang's legs, leaning lazily on the back of the chair, "Mrs. Lu has good eyesight, my patterns are indeed all innovated by myself, but these patterns are all original to the embroidery girl in my store, if you are interested in these patterns, I can call the embroidery girl in." ”

Hearing this, Su Xiaoman suddenly understood that the original shopkeeper didn't know anything about this matter, no wonder when he talked about the novelty of the tricks, he was not at all different.

But if this matter has nothing to do with the shopkeeper, then ......

"Knock knock—"

There was a knock on the door, interrupting Xiaoman's thoughts, she took the teacup on the table and took a sip, while the shopkeeper smiled apologetically, and then took the initiative to get up and open the door.

"It's not good to make clothes in the back, what are you doing here?" The shopkeeper scolded in a low voice.

The man who knocked on the door whispered: "Shopkeeper, I have something going on at home, so I want to go back, I hope you can let me-"

The voice......

Isn't this Qin Chun's voice!

Xiao Man hurriedly got up and turned around, and sure enough, it was Qin Chun who was talking to the shopkeeper Wang!

She was still wearing a half-gray coarse linen skirt, her long hair was only pulled up with a bamboo chopstick, Qin Chun was much thinner than before, the bones on her face were protruding, and her eye sockets were more and more sunken, and there was a large piece of black green under her eyes, and her lips were pale and terrible.

But I haven't seen him for half a month, how did this Qin Chun become like this?

Originally, she was only a little thinner, but Qin Chun's eyes were full of energy, but now, she seemed to have not closed her eyes for several days and nights, and she was haggard and distressing.

Qin Chun stood opposite the shopkeeper Wang, and the chubby shopkeeper blocked Qin Chun's sight tightly, so that now Qin Chun hadn't noticed Xiaoman in the house.

She lowered her head and explained in a low voice: "Shopkeeper Wang, the children at home are unattended, I have already driven out today's work last night, you can let me go back and stay for a while now, and when the child's grandmother comes in a few days, I will not trouble you." ”

"I'll go back when I'm not busy at noon, I still have something to do here, so I won't talk about it yet." After speaking, Shopkeeper Wang forcibly closed the door and shut out all the grievances and grievances of Qin Chun and her.

The room was quiet again, but Su Xiaoman's heart couldn't calm down no matter what, she thought about the haggard appearance of Qin Chun who had to withdraw from the beginning of the game to the end of the game, and then to the haggard appearance of Qin Chun that she accidentally glimpsed, as if there was a thin embroidery needle, constantly piercing the most vulnerable place in her heart.

"Mrs. Lu, let's continue talking, shall we? What do you want me to work with? Shopkeeper Wang rubbed his hands and sat down, and asked with great interest, throwing that little episode from Fang Cai out of his mind a long time ago.

Su Xiaoman lowered his eyes, and after thinking twice, he directly raised his eyes to look at the shopkeeper Wang, and asked very seriously: "Shopkeeper Wang, that one is your embroiderer, right?" I want her. ”

The shopkeeper Wang was stunned, and he frowned in disbelief and asked, "What did you say?" You want that embroidery girl just now, Mrs. Lu, aren't you joking? ”

This Qin Chun is a cornucopia in his shop, after having her, how much money does this shop make every day, and now this Mrs. Lu of unknown origin asks for Qin Chun, how can this not make the shopkeeper Wang suspicious.
