"You mean the cloth shop?" The old lady breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they weren't trying to steal her business, it would be fine. "Then you have to go forward. You can see the Red Leaf Cloth Shop at the street entrance in front. They sell embroidery products there."

After the old lady finished speaking, she looked at the basket in her hand with envy. It was really good to be able to show off her handkerchief. She could earn a certain amount of money every month.

Chen Yuxi thanked him and took Zhang Yaowen with them to the direction the old lady pointed. As long as they walked to the main street, they would definitely find the government office.

Yun Tutu looked around curiously. The road was muddy and bumpy everywhere, so one had to walk carefully.

The houses in this county town are much better than those in the countryside, but they are just brick and tile houses, and some of them are a bit dilapidated due to their age.

When they found the cloth shop, they discovered that the road was much smoother and there were even many cobblestones. Although it was a bit uncomfortable to walk on, it was clean and free of mud.

The group stopped at Hongye Cloth Shop. Chen Yuxi carried a basket and went straight into the store. A middle-aged couple was packing goods behind the counter.

Seeing them coming, he immediately put down his work and greeted them warmly, "Dear guests, is there anything I can help you with? We have the latest cloth here, you can take a look at it."

Chen Yuxi, "Madam Boss, I have a few handkerchiefs here. Would you like to take them?"

These embroidered handkerchiefs were prepared by Lin Shan when Yun Tutu came to Pingyang Marquis' Mansion. There are dozens of them.

Each embroidered handkerchief is different, but they all have simple embroidery. Yun Tutu is not used to using handkerchiefs at all, so this thing is kept for use at times like this.

"Then I have to take a look at the goods." Seeing that there was no business, the proprietress pushed the boss over to continue working, while she stood there carelessly.

She has run the shop here for a long time, and although she also accepts embroidery products, the ones she receives are all ordinary ones. For the better ones, she has to import them from the provincial capital.

Chen Yuxi first took out two and placed them on the counter. When the proprietress saw the white satin, her expression became serious. She thought that to dare to use such good fabric to make handkerchiefs, the person must be very skilled.

She wiped her hands on the corners of her clothes and then picked up the embroidery. There were green bamboos embroidered on the white handkerchief. She had seen such quality in the provincial capital, and it was specially made for the wives and daughters of officials. It could not be sold in their place, but if this thing was sent to the county government, the county magistrate's daughter would also want it.

“This handkerchief is quite good, and the embroidery is very delicate, but as you can see in our small county, it is not easy to sell.

The price I offer is not very high. If you think it is suitable, you can stay. If not, then I can’t do anything about it.”

When doing business, harmony is the most important thing. The proprietress didn't want to lower the price too much, so she spoke frankly.

"I wonder what price the boss lady can offer?"

The proprietress spoke very honestly. Yun Tutu nodded secretly, thinking that the deal should be negotiable.

They don't want to earn more or less, but want to get some information from here.

"I'll tell you the truth, the highest I can charge for a handkerchief is 40 coins. If it's suitable, I'll take whatever you have.

Don't think I make much money here. I am taking risks. After all, I have never sold such an expensive handkerchief before."

Chen Yuxi, "Can the price be raised a little bit?"

"That depends on how many handkerchiefs you have. If there are too many, I can't take them all in." The proprietress noticed that there was a man carrying a load on his shoulder behind her. She knew that there couldn't be so many handkerchiefs, but the woman in front of her was holding a basket.

"I have 20 handkerchiefs here," Chen Yuxi lifted the cloth on the basket, revealing handkerchiefs of different rust colors. The proprietress took them and checked them one by one. After confirming that there were no problems, she smiled and said, "Each of them has good embroidery. So, I will give you 900 coins for them, no more."

With such exquisite embroidery skills, the boss lady also hopes to have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future, and the price given is very reasonable.

"That's fine, thank you, Madam Boss." Chen Yuxi turned to the cabinet beside her and said, "Madam Boss, do you have any ready-made clothes for sale?"

The proprietress carefully put the handkerchief into the cabinet and was counting the copper coins. When she heard the question, she said without even looking up, "I don't have ready-made clothes here, but I have some second-hand clothes, all sent from the pawnshop in the city. They are all in good condition. If you want them, I can take you to pick some."

Ordinary people are all very frugal in their lives. Second-hand clothes are very popular here. If she buys a whole set of clothes, she can save a lot of money compared to buying the fabric herself.

"I wonder if any children have worn it," Chen Yuxi pulled Luo Meng to the front, "Are there any children as old as her?"

"There are really not many clothes for little girls," the proprietress looked up and took a look, "You have such good craftsmanship, you can definitely make a set for yourself and make something that you can wear.

I can buy fabric for you, and I will definitely give you a discount on the price.”

Chen Yuxi looked a little embarrassed. She really didn't have the skills to make clothes.

"This is a relative of ours. He came to visit today and will be leaving soon. It's too late to get cloth now. Madam, can you think of a solution?" Chen Yuxi hurriedly made an excuse. There was no sincerity here, so he could only settle for the next best thing and find two sets of clothes for Luo Meng to change into.

"Here," the proprietress handed the counted copper coins to Chen Yuxi, stood up and led them through the side door to the backyard.

This back should be the couple's residence. There are only three rooms, one of which is filled with second-hand clothes.

The proprietress walked in and started searching, and actually found a few sets of clothes that were similar in size to Luo Meng's.

"Well, here are the sets, do you think they are suitable?
These clothes are not expensive, you can give me five cents for a whole set."

Although these clothes have become white due to washing, they are much better than the patched clothes on Luo Meng's body. I'll just have to make do with them for now.

Chen Yuxi gestured and selected two similar sets, then stopped and kept the two sets he selected.

After the proprietress saw that they had made their choice, she took them back to the counter, took the ten cents handed over by Chen Yuxi, and quickly settled the bill.

"Boss lady, can I ask you something?"

After doing two consecutive deals, the boss lady was in a good mood. "Of course there is no problem. As long as it's about the county, you can ask me and I won't go wrong."

"Who is the official in charge of household registration in our county? My little girl's household registration has been lost, and I want to apply for a new one."

The proprietress frowned at them and said, "How could you be so careless that your household registration was lost?

This is a bit troublesome. Where is your registered residence? If it's not far away, don't bother those masters. Just go back to the village head and re-apply for it."

It's not easy to find someone to do things for you when you have an official. Even the few hundred coins they earned from selling handkerchiefs are not enough to fill the gaps in the teeth of those masters.

"It's a bit far from here, but there's no other way. I'd like to go to the county town to see if there's a way to solve it."
