The little one's purse connects the two worlds, turning a desolate village into a paradise.

Gou Ya looked at Ji Chuntao, who was radiant and seemed to be glowing, with envy.

Aunt Chuntao is truly amazing. She has a skill she genuinely loves, and everyone praises her cooking. She's always willing to come up with new and creative dishes, and her sauces are so good that even people from the heavenly realms are placing orders for them.

Their embroidery skills were also top-notch. In the past few days, whenever they had free time, they would sew the pieces of fabric that Nannan had brought back. Apart from Aunt Chuntao, none of them were used to making clothes with such expensive materials. It was only with Aunt Chuntao's guidance that they gradually became proficient.

Aunt Chuntao also made and stored a lot of everyday pastries, such as Shenqu and Maiqu.

She said that having these things on hand means they can be stored for a long time and be used for many kinds of food.

Gou Ya stared at Ji Chuntao, who was smiling, wondering when she could become as capable as Aunt Chuntao.

……

[YuYu, don't forget the kids' get-together the day after tomorrow!]

In a spacious apartment overlooking the river in Shanghai, a young woman looked at messages from a fellow enthusiast on her phone.

She sank into the soft, fluffy pink bunny-ear sofa, wearing a full pink wedding dress, with a fan-shaped bonnet on her head wrapped with light pink ribbons and milky white silk flowers, and light golden curly hair falling down to the pearl lace collar.

A nude pink boning belt accentuates a slender waist, with crisscrossing ribbons cascading down the sides. The wide skirt is covered in a vintage gray floral print, with layers of lace and ruffled satin spreading out along the edge of the sofa.

She casually turned off her phone screen, then stood up and picked up a six-point BJD doll standing on the display case.

This is her most cherished love, called Milk Candy.

I've already put on the mini wedding dress I ordered for this doll gathering. It's made of soft pink satin and features vintage floral patterns.

The only thing missing was the matching Bonnet, which was simply paired with a beige top hat, but it just didn't look right.

In the past two weeks, she has been searching for all the craft makers she knows, but everyone's schedules are all piled up until July or August. It's only April now, and she simply can't wait.

None of the little hats I have at home match this wedding dress.

Let's try looking for salted fish again, if that doesn't work...

The girl's lips drooped slightly. She didn't want Naitang to bring an imperfect outfit to the doll gathering. If she couldn't find a suitable one, she would have to change into a Lolita dress.

She lay back on the sofa, her fingertips unconsciously swiping up and down on the salted fish page, her brows slightly furrowed.

Suddenly, a pink bonnet hat caught her eye, and the style was almost exactly the same as the hat she had in mind!

She clicked into the shop, but her excitement waned when she saw that it was a completely new shop with no reviews and zero rating. The seller had never sold a single item.

No way, could this be some kind of scammer who steals deposits and runs away with them?

She went back to the product details page, and the product photos were so-so, not like someone from the industry. Especially since it stated that all the hats in the store were completely handmade, including the hat base. The hat base was made of woven cattail, without using a drop of hot glue, and the beads were all done by hand.

Does such a store really exist?

Or is it in stock?

Entirely handmade?

She talked a lot of nonsense, but the price was very affordable. The Bonnet hat she liked was even the most expensive item in the store, priced at 198 yuan, a six-point doll hat.

She hesitated for a moment, glanced at the seller's IP address, and realized it wasn't even in the same city as her. Fortunately, she didn't care about the shipping cost; she could use her money to expedite the delivery, and it would arrive tomorrow.

Let's ask first.

Uroroe: [Hello, ma'am! Sorry to bother you~ I wanted to ask if this bnt is a 100% handmade in-stock item? I'm really sorry if my question is a bit abrupt! [Cat bowing gif]]

He Miao was at home watching a TV series when a notification popped up at the top of her phone screen.

She instinctively wanted to move the notification box back; it was interfering with her looking at handsome guys.

You can see the iconic yellow icon on the top left. My finger paused, and it turned out to be a message from Xianyu (a food delivery platform)! We have a customer!

She quickly switched to the Xianyu app.

The rice seedlings that ran away with the bucket: [Yes, yes, everything is woven from individual cattail reeds, and the dyes are all natural dyes that we dye ourselves. The beaded accessories are sewn stitch by stitch. This price is only available because our shop is newly opened. Sisters, are you considering buying it?]

Wuyuzi was a little surprised by the seller's reply. She thought that this kind of handmade girl would be a bit aloof and eccentric, but the seller's tone was soft and she seemed quite easy to talk to.

If it's really as the seller says, then it's a great deal, even though it's less than two.

Mullet Roe: [Then I'll order it directly! Please send it via SF Express, I'll pay the shipping fee upon delivery~]

He Miao stared at the chat box and silently deleted the words "Free shipping" that she had just typed.

As expected, nine out of ten Lolita fashion enthusiasts are wealthy, and the owners of these dolls are even more willing to spend money on their beloved dolls.

The rice seedlings running away with their buckets: [OK, no problem, just take the picture.]

After sending that line, He Miao noticed that Wu Yuzi's profile picture was a selfie of herself half-body holding a cat. After a moment's hesitation, she added another sentence:

The rice seedling that ran away with the bucket: [By the way, if I may ask, do you have a cat? Could you tell me its head circumference and ear spacing? Since you're our first customer, I'd like to give you a free cat hat as a gift.]

Wu Yuzi's eyes lit up, and he typed at lightning speed:

Woolly Roe: [Wow! You're so kind, ma'am! My cat's head circumference is 26cm and ear spacing is 11cm! Thank you so much, ma'am, sending you lots of love~]

He Miao looked at the message in the app's chat box that the buyer had paid and asked her to arrange shipment as soon as possible, and felt a little unreal.

That's it?

No nail clippers, no dragon-slaying sword, and you don't even have to pay for shipping...

"Ahhhhhhh!" she screamed, turned her head and scooped up the big orange cat that was sleeping soundly in the corner of the sofa, and began to frantically knead it.

"We're open for business, Mao Mao! Our first sale! We finally made it!"

She held Mao Mao and rocked her back and forth. "The people in Ya Ya Village worked so hard to make so many exquisite and beautiful little hats, and Yu Qing also spent a lot of time drawing design sketches. This is everyone's hard work. I posted everywhere to attract customers, but not a single person asked. I always felt bad for everyone. Now we've finally opened for business."

He Miao let out a long breath and buried her face in the soft, furry belly. "Now I'm confident. After I ship the goods, I'll continue to open new accounts to find more orders!"

As she spoke, she prepared to carry Mao Mao to the storage room, but stopped abruptly after taking only two steps.

No, no, the cat hair will shed! If it gets stuck on the doll's hat, it'll be ruined!

Without any hesitation, she threw the cat back onto the sofa, turned around, found a handheld vacuum cleaner, and vigorously vacuumed her clothes, arms, and cuffs, repeatedly checking to make sure not a single cat hair was left.

After tidying up, she hurried to the storage room, simultaneously pulling out her phone to call Su Yuqing: "Yuqing! Our salted fish shop is open! We sold a six-point doll hat for 198 yuan!"

Su Yuqing: "Look at you, so pathetic! I've already sold 50 pairs of pre-orders and 67 pieces of clothing!"

He Miao: "Oh, oh, oh, you're so amazing... Wait, what?! When did our online store quietly sell so many products?!"

Su Yuqing said arrogantly, "I'm quite capable. I opened a 15-day pre-sale and only opened one Mediterranean blue half-slipper. I sent you the design. Please place an order with Xiaoya for me."

"Alright!"
