He asked An Yue: "Yueyue, your recipe for cooking fish is worth thirty-five taels of silver! This... this... is this a dream?"

An Yue stretched out her hand and pinched her uncle Jiang Chenghai's arm, not too hard or too lightly, and said with a smile: "Uncle, this is not a dream! As long as we work hard, there will be more money in the future."

Grandfather Jiang Wuwen was still thinking about the scene at Wanfulou just now, and the words and actions of An Yue when she was talking to the shopkeeper.

Looking at the young An Yue in front of him, the final result is that memory and reality cannot be connected. His common sense and cognition are completely overturned, and he feels like a dream.

While they were still deeply immersed in a state that was neither dream nor reality, An Yue was already thinking about what to do next.

"Grandfather, uncle, can you come with me to the tailor's shop? His old coat is already a lot shorter than it used to be, and it's almost the end of the year, so I want to buy him a new set of clothes."

"Go...go, go, we will go with you!" The excited uncle smiled silly and nodded.

Grandfather smiled and reminded his son Jiang Chenghai: "Why are you still grinning? Hand over Yueyue's money."

"Oh... yes, yes, thirty-six taels and eighty cents." Jiang Chenghai pulled Jiang Wuwen and An Yue to the corner of the street and counted the silver one by one.

An Yue happily took the money bag and said seriously, "Thank you, Grandfather and Uncle!"

Seeing that his granddaughter had such abilities and intelligence, the grandfather was really happy for his daughter Jiang Paner, and he couldn't help but feel his eyes moistened.

In order to hide his excitement, Jiang Wuwen quickly waved his hands and said, "This kid, why are you thanking us? Instead, we should thank you for helping us sell all the meat so early."

Uncle Jiang Chenghai's face was smiling like a doughnut, and he walked in front to lead the way.

Although everyone got up early in the morning, the three of them now felt relaxed and not tired at all.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren crossed the main street, turned a corner, and came to a street where most of the shops sold cloth, and saw a tailor shop nearby.

The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren looked up and saw five conspicuous big characters [Li's Tailor Shop]. Then the three of them walked straight towards the tailor shop.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the shop, a young woman, probably in her early twenties, walked in.

The woman frowned and looked up and down at the clothes of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren.

Two people were carrying baskets and one was carrying a backpack. They were obviously poor people from the countryside. The woman had a cold expression and a hint of disdain when she asked, "What do you want to buy?"

The three generations of the family were in high spirits at the moment and had no intention of paying attention to such a contemptuous person. They decided to go straight into the shop to take a look first.

The woman raised her arm to block the three people outside the door and said, "Stop, stop, stop! Don't rush in. You are all dirty. Put these baskets of things outside first, brush off the dust on your bodies, and then come in."

Uncle Jiang Chenghai put down the basket, pointed at the woman angrily, and was about to argue with her.

"you……"

At this time, a woman in her forties came up behind the woman, pushed her aside, and said with a glare, "Go away... There is no reason to push guests away. You must have been kicked in the head by a donkey."

The woman turned around and smiled, and came forward politely. She glanced at the clothes of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren intentionally or unintentionally, but still received them warmly.

The woman made a 'please' gesture and welcomed the three people in. She said apologetically, "My three guests, I am really sorry. I am a newly hired apprentice and I am really ignorant. Please don't blame me! Please don't blame me!"

After An Yue entered the shop, she took a quick look around.

She was amazed at the various colorful cloths, brocades, silks, and ready-made clothes of various styles hanging on the wooden racks. They were all top-quality materials and were definitely very expensive.

An Yue said, "I guess you are the lady who runs the shop here. Since you have received us personally and apologized, we will not bother with her."

The woman smiled and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I am the shopkeeper. I will definitely punish her later. May I ask the three gentlemen, are you planning to buy cloth to make custom clothes, or just buy ready-made clothes?"

"I was thinking of buying a set of thick clothes for my younger brother."

"Yes, yes, yes. Miss, can you tell me how tall your brother is now?"

An Yue briefly explained the details to the shopkeeper, who then asked, "There are many kinds of fabrics in the store with new styles. I wonder what style you would like to choose for your brother?"

"Just keep it simple and warm."

So, the shopkeeper very attentively led the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren to the coarse cloth area.

The coarse cloth area is mainly composed of linen and cotton cloth, and the colors are white, gray and dark blue.

Finished clothes were hung on the wooden rack next to the cloth. Although they were made of coarse cloth, they felt thick and soft.

An Yue flipped through the ready-made clothes hanging on the wooden shelf and asked, "Madam, how much is this gray cotton dress?"

"This dress is thick and soft. I'll give you the lowest price, seventy coins."

An Yueqing pulled the shopkeeper's arm and said with a smile: "Madam Shopkeeper, we have to do business with good luck. How about sixty-six coins?"

The shopkeeper's smile froze a little, and he said with an embarrassed look: "This... this small business is really..."

An Yue pulled the shopkeeper closer and whispered, "Madam Shopkeeper, look at these seventy coins. Listen carefully, why don't they sound right? Sixty-six means sixty-six is ​​auspicious. If you are lucky, I am lucky too. Do you think it is okay?"

The shopkeeper thought that this girl seemed to be a resourceful person. She had not taken the apprentice's treatment of her seriously into account, and seeing that she was a generous and loyal person, he simply did her a favor, even if it meant earning a few cents less.

So the shopkeeper smiled and said, "Come on, come on! Everything goes well! It's going well for you and me too!"

Then the shopkeeper took down the grey cotton jacket from the wooden shelf, turned around and said to my grandfather with a smile: "Your girl is really amazing, she has a smart mind and a sweet mouth."

The grandfather smiled and replied, "Boss, you are too kind! Hehe...but I have to admit that my granddaughter is indeed smarter than other girls."

At this time, everyone burst into laughter, but An Yue blushed because she was embarrassed.

"Little girl, do you need to choose other ready-made clothes?"

An Yue shook her head and denied it with a smile: "No need for this time, come back next time!"

"Then I'll wrap it up for you." The shopkeeper said as he walked towards the counter with the cotton jacket.

"Madam, I have to take this dress home and let my brother try it on first. If it doesn't fit, I'll come back to you to exchange it. Is that okay?"

The shopkeeper who was packing said cheerfully, "No problem! You can bring it over anytime to change it, but with my many years of tailoring experience, I'm sure this dress will fit you when you buy it back."
