I Opened a Restaurant in Ancient Times

110-111

　　"Hey, I heard that the Su Family Restaurant is now looking for a cloth shop to make clothes!"

　　"Ready-made clothes? What ready-made clothes?"

　　"It seems to be for the shop assistants to wear. What are they called... uniforms? Oh, two sets of summer clothes and two sets of winter clothes. So many people! What a big business!"

　　Early in the morning, Miao's mother took two basins of clothes to the river in the city to wash them. Before she had washed two pieces of clothes, she heard two old women who were doing rough work nearby talking about this in a casual manner.

　　She glanced at them sideways but didn't approach them to talk. In her opinion, her youngest son was a scholar and might become an official tomorrow! As the future wife of an official, it would be a loss of face for her to deal with these people!

　　But the Su's Restaurant those two people were talking about...Miao's mother thought about it and realized, isn't that the restaurant opened by that little girl before?

　　Each person buys four sets of ready-made clothes a year, so there must be at least a dozen or twenty people in the restaurant now...Miao's mother calculated in her mind, and she was getting angry.

　　Good! This little rascal, instead of taking on such a big business for his own family, he went out of his way to find someone else's cloth shop to do it!

　　Miao's mother simply put away her clothes and walked back without thinking that this restaurant had nothing to do with her family at all.

　　......

　　When Miao's mother brought Miao Wen to the house, Su Tian was baking rice cakes. The rice cakes, which had been tempered a thousand times, were soft and glutinous. They were baked on the grill until they were golden and shiny, with big bubbles bulging out. The flat surface was squeezed to the point of cracks, and from time to time, a slight "puff" sound was emitted.

　　Put the baked rice cake strips into the seasoning dish. The reddish-brown sauce rushes over and instantly submerges the entire rice cake. When it is lifted up again, it flows down along the cracks.

　　"Boss, someone is looking for me outside. He said he wants to discuss the clothing business."

　　Shitou came to the kitchen and spoke in a calm tone, but judging from his expression, the visitor's attitude might not be so polite.

　　Su Tian put down the rice cake that was about to enter her mouth and said with some regret: "Let's go."

　　The two of them came one after the other to the box that was temporarily used as a reception room.

　　There was a gleam of light in Miao's mother's eyes the moment she saw Su Tian. Then a smile spread across her face and she reached out to pull Su Tian.

　　"Oh, the girl is really thoughtful. She knows how to help us when we have problems..."

　　Su Tian dodged Miao's hand without leaving a trace, and said with a fake smile: "I heard from the clerk that you are here to discuss the business of ready-made clothes. I wonder which cloth shop you are from?"

　　When Miao's mother heard Su Tian's words, half of the smile on her face disappeared, and she cursed in her heart: What is this little hoof pretending here? How can she deliberately release the news that the clothes are made without knowing who we are?

But when he thought of the booming business he had just seen in the lobby, he forced himself to suppress it.

　　"What kind of question is this kid asking..." Miao's mother laughed, "We also brought a lot of ready-made clothes here today. Take a look. If you have no objection, we can finalize this business..."
