After transmigrating into the body of a widow, I became the richest man in the capital.

Chapter 87 The Fabric Shop Suffers Humiliation
Although Sanlang was dressed quite well when he returned to Su Xiaoxiao's home.

But it was hot back then, so we were all wearing thin clothes.

Those clothes are no longer wearable. Sanlang is now adapting to local customs, and the padded jacket he's wearing is also tattered and looks rather rustic.

The boss saw that although Sanlang looked quite dashing, his attire was simply not respectable.

Isn't it true that clothes make the man?
Saburo was standing next to the fabric shop owner, but the owner completely ignored him, looking at him with disdain and refusing to acknowledge him.

Upon seeing this, Su Xiaoxiao immediately flew into a rage.

Saburo called her over, and she went over without saying a word.

"Bring me all your most expensive and best fabrics, I want to choose."

Su Xiaoxiao stood in front of the boss and spoke with neither arrogance nor servility.

As a result, the rich girl was unhappy. The boss was serving her alone, but now a country bumpkin had cut in and was trying to take her place.

She snorted and rolled her eyes at Su Xiaoxiao.

Although the fabric shop owner felt that Su Xiaoxiao's words sounded like she was exaggerating, he couldn't refuse such a request from a customer since he was running a business.

"Boss, you can go in and get it!"

The rich girl figured there wasn't much entertainment to watch today, so she decided to see Su Xiaoxiao embarrass herself when she couldn't afford the items.

She watched coldly from the sidelines.

The fabric shop owner went to the warehouse and brought out a large pile of fabrics with different patterns and colors; they were clearly top-quality goods.

As soon as these fabrics were brought out, even the young lady from the wealthy family stared wide-eyed. These fabrics were indeed quite expensive, and the fabric shop owner helped the young lady choose.

Which one do you want?

However, these fabrics seem a bit difficult to care for, and they're not something you'd wear every day. They're clearly meant for formal occasions, something you'd wear once or twice.

Su Xiaoxiao frowned; she felt that buying these fabrics wouldn't be practical.

Su Xiaoxiao felt it would be better to buy some higher-quality fabrics, so she said to the shopkeeper, "I think these fabrics are all pretty good, or should I just buy them all?"

The rich girl's jaw dropped in astonishment. What was going on? Su Xiaoxiao was actually going to take them all! How could she possibly let herself fall behind?
"No way, why do you say you've got it all? I was here first, and the boss introduced me to the place."

Saburo stepped forward and added fuel to the fire, saying, "Really? Then why are you hesitating here? Why don't you just buy it already?"

The rich girl was most afraid of being provoked like this, so without any hesitation, she pointed directly at the fabrics on the counter and said, "I want them all."

Suddenly, she noticed that some of the fabrics mixed in were faded and stained with mud. She frowned and asked the shopkeeper, "You're going to recommend such cheap fabrics to me?"

The shopkeeper quickly explained, "Actually, this fabric is top-quality and was imported from Yunlai Country. It just got wet in the rain on the way and faded a bit, but I can give you a discount."

The wealthy young lady simply waved her hand, saying, "I don't want something this cheap."

She suddenly noticed Su Xiaoxiao staring intently at the piece of fabric, and a wicked thought popped into her head. "You probably like this kind of substandard stuff, right?"

Upon hearing this, the shop owner quickly explained, "This really isn't a defective product. In fact, it's the same price and quality as those top-quality fabrics. It's just that it got a little wet from the rain..."

Sanlang saw this and wanted to pull Su Xiaoxiao away directly, feeling that Su Xiaoxiao had been humiliated.

Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand at him, "I want this fabric, all of it, but you have to give me a discount."

Su Xiaoxiao knew that the fabric had only lost some of its luster because it had been rained on, but if it were reprocessed, its original color could be restored.

"Madam, even if it's cheap, I can't let you lose too much money, after all, these are all imported from Yunlai Kingdom. How about this, the original price is seventy coins per bolt, but now I'll sell them to you for thirty coins a batch, how about that? Look, I'm cutting the price in half!"

The boss did the math and concluded that he hadn't really suffered a huge loss.

However, Su Xiaoxiao felt that buying the fabric this way was still inappropriate.

So she said directly to the shopkeeper, "Okay, I'll buy all of this cloth, more than a hundred bolts in total, right? I'll take them all, but you have to charge me seventeen coins per bolt."

"This, this isn't how you bargain! I'm selling it for seventy coins, and you've already reduced it to seventeen. That's going too far. Miss, this isn't right; I'm not making a single penny!"

The shopkeeper shook his head and sighed, and then Su Xiaoxiao shook her head directly, "If you don't agree, I won't buy any of them." The rich girl next to her was thinking of competing with her and helping the shopkeeper raise the price.

When she heard that Su Xiaoxiao was going to buy a hundred horses, she decided not to get involved anymore.

When the boss saw that Su Xiaoxiao was very determined, and considering that if he didn't sell these fabrics, they would be stuck in stock for who knows how long, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Su Xiaoxiao paid the money, using the money she would have spent on the cheapest fabric to buy a high-quality one. She would take the fabric home and process it herself, and it would still be a high-quality fabric. Judging from the material and color of the fabric, it was very expensive and definitely a good product.

Su Xiaoxiao took Sanlang and the two children and bought some other New Year's goods before heading home. This time, they had a very fruitful shopping trip, and Su Xiaoxiao was very satisfied.

During the Lunar New Year, most families prefer to stay indoors and avoid going out.

A thin layer of snow began to fall outside. Su Xiaoxiao realized that she hadn't had ice cream in a long time, and eating snow like this would be nice. So, she asked Sanlang and the two children if they had ever had ice jelly.

They had never even heard of it before. The two children stared wide-eyed and asked with great curiosity, "What is ice jelly?"

Su Xiaoxiao smiled mysteriously at them, "Wait for Mommy to conjure up some ice jelly for you later!"

Su Xiaoxiao went outside. The fire in the stove inside their house was burning very brightly, but it was still very cold outside.

She quickly ran to the well and carefully collected a thin layer of very clean snow from under the well cover.

I only had orange jam at home, so I can make orange jelly.

Su Xiaoxiao asked Sanlang to help her peel the oranges. She peeled more than a dozen oranges, then wrapped them in a white cloth and squeezed out the juice.

After squeezing out the juice, Su Xiaoxiao added a lot of honey to enhance the flavor.
