Chapter 562: Chapter 549: Weaving Workshop

“If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would have forgotten all about this. These mosquito repellent herbs are really good! Every year I get bitten by mosquitoes and my arms are scratched raw. Ever since I started using the mosquito repellent packets from your shop, life’s been much better! It’s just that every time, you barely have enough stock. This time, can you please hold more for me?”

“Rest assured, I will keep them for you,”

Zhuang Yutian laughed, swiftly tore the cloth apart, calculated the price, and tied it into a packet before handing it to the customer.

Having paid, the customer exchanged a few words and then left the shop.

Zhuang Yutian rushed to attend to the next customer.

Mrs. Meng was equally busy.

Zhuang Qingning watched the scene and couldn’t help but smile to herself.

Zhuang Yutian and Mrs. Meng really knew how to do business. With them in charge, the cloth would definitely sell well, but she hadn’t expected it to sell this well.

“Miss Qingning, you came?” Mrs. Meng looked up to see Zhuang Qingning standing outside the door, she quickly asked the shop assistant to attend to the customers, then she rushed out to invite her inside and then led her to the backyard. She quickly served her a hot cup of tea, “Come in and warm up, although it’s spring, it’s still cold outside. Take care not to catch a chill.”

“Looking at how well your business was going, I thought I’d wait a while before going in.” Zhuang Qingning accompanied her into the shop and carefully checked the remaining stock on the shelves. She began to smile, “Half of these fabrics seem to have been sold already.”

“The business is going well only because of you. If it weren’t for your help, this wouldn’t have been possible,” Mrs. Meng spoke in an excited tone, “People have heard about the cheap cloth we sell and they are coming here in droves.”

“In these last few days, your Uncle Yutian has been making inquiries and he has identified a possible source for our merchandise. Although buying goods indirectly from the south means the cost increases by 10%, it’s basically just a matter of making a bit less profit. Once this batch is gone, and when we have the time, we can look at sourcing from other vendors.”

It’s safe to say that this difficult situation is basically over.

“Now that your store has found a solution, I bet Manager Cao at Cao’s Cloth Store is extremely upset,” Zhuang Qingning said with a cunning smile.

Hearing Zhuang Qingning mention this, Mrs. Meng’s face blossomed into a huge grin, “Just stomping his feet would probably not be enough to express his frustration.”

“I heard from Uncle Yutian last night that Cao Jiande was extremely pissed. He’s blabbing nonsense outside, accusing us of selling cloth that’s been in storage for years and conducting bad business practices. He said not to be afraid of being struck by lightning and damned. He also claimed that anyone who buys these fabrics is blind.”

“But no matter what he says, people are still coming to our store. It hasn’t affected our business – in fact, it’s increased. Because many more people found out about the cheap cloth we sell due to his blabbering.”

“There’s also a group of people who are unhappy with him. They argue that the cloth in our store isn’t old warehouse fabric misrepresented as new, and we do not hide the fact that it’s low-cost fabric. Everything is clearly marked, and customers get what they pay for. We are running a reputable business…”

Zhuang Qingning restrained herself from raising an eyebrow as she listened to this.
