Rebirth of the leisurely life in ancient times

After the crowd quieted down, Xia Zixuan asked Jinghe to start directing them to line up, with only twenty people allowed to enter at a time.

The twenty people who were chosen walked into the shop happily. When they saw the cotton on the counter, they were surprised and asked, "Boss Xia, is this the cotton mentioned in the flyer?"

Xia Zixuan nodded and said, "Yes, this is cotton, used to make cotton clothes and cotton boots."

Another person asked, “How do we do this?”

Jinghe took over and said, "Dear guests, please look over there."

Jinghe pointed to the side of the counter where a set of clothes was hanging, and said, "This is a cotton coat. You can feel its warmth and softness."

After Jinghe finished speaking, a girl named Xiaotao said, "Everyone, please follow me."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked over there, and after Jinghe said that they could touch it, they all consciously lined up to touch it.

"Wow! It's so warm! My hands became warm after I put them in for a while. If I wear this, I won't be afraid to go out on snowy days."

The people behind her heard what she said and said, "Have you touched it yet? Come on, let us touch it too."

The lady wanted to touch it for a while longer, but when she saw that there were many people behind her, she gave up. She walked over to Jinghe and said, "Miss, can you help me get enough cotton for cotton-padded clothes? I need it for three adults and two children."

Jinghe responded, "Can I ask how old the children are?"

"One is twelve, one is eight, and the other two sets of men are taller than me... oh yeah, about the same height as that big brother over there."

Jing He looked in the direction of her finger and had a rough idea in her mind. She said, "Okay, wait a moment, I'll go weigh it for you."

"Okay, thank you girl."

Then the woman asked for cotton for a few more pairs of shoes. When she paid, she spent about one or two taels of silver. She said in disbelief, "Miss, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

Jing He repeatedly said that it was not wrong, and she finally believed it and said, "This is too cheap! I thought it would be very expensive just now."

The person who was walking over from behind and touching the cotton coat heard what she said and asked, "Really?"

"Really? I can't lie to you about this."

"Oh, this Boss Xia is so good, no wonder so many people go to her shop every day!"

"That's right! Mr. Xia still considers us ordinary people, otherwise such a good thing would be sold at a sky-high price!"

Jinghe brought the cotton and heard their conversation and said, "The shops opened by us girls are for ordinary people like us, so that everyone can afford it."

Everyone heard this and said, "Mr. Xia is very generous, and the people of Mr. Xia are kind and generous."

Finally, someone said, "Does Mr. Xia like anyone? Let me introduce someone to you!"

Jinghe quickly stopped their conversation, "Our girl hasn't even reached the age of marriage yet! There's no rush for this matter. Who else wants cotton?"

Speaking of cotton, everyone's attention was diverted. "I want it. There are six people in my family, four adults, two elderly people, my husband and I, two children, and one..."

Then everyone said what they wanted more and what they would use it for, and Jinghe started to get busy.

Wang Xinyue followed Xia Zixuan out and found that there was no place for her to use her skills. She said to Xia Zixuan, "Sister Xia, you can collect the money here by yourself! I will go and help Jinghe."

Xia Zixuan also saw Jinghe and a few maids busy at work, and nodded and said, "Okay, then you go! Go back and rest when you are tired."

Wang Xinyue nodded and said, "Yeah, I understand, Sister Xia."

After about half an hour, Xia Zixuan saw that Jinghe had adapted well, so she said, "Jinghe, you take care of this side. I'll go check on Yinglu."

Jinghe walked out of the crowd and said, "Yes, girl, go ahead! I'm here!"

Xia Zixuan nodded and walked out. After walking for a cup of tea, she saw a shop full of people coming in and out.

Xia Zixuan squeezed through the crowd and walked inside. Someone said, "Hey, girl, don't you see that we are all queuing? If you want to go in, go to the back and queue up."

Xia Zixuan stopped walking when she heard this, and looked at the person who was speaking, a housekeeper from a wealthy family, and said, "I'm not here to buy cotton."

"Why are you in there if you're not buying cotton? Go back! The shop can only hold 20 people at a time. There won't be enough room for more."
