*A breeze springs up and creates waves on the water (idiom) : flourishing, thriving, prosperous.

“Shopkeeper Sun, let’s go.” 

After leaving, Shopkeeper Sun asked, “Are you really going to give up that store?” 

“Nope.” Su Xiaoxiao said with a mischievous smile and hooked her finger at Shopkeeper Sun.  

Shopkeeper Sun came over by ear. 

Su Xiaoxiao whispered a plan to him, and the corner of Shopkeeper Sun’s mouth twitched, “Will this work?” 

Su Xiaoxiao grinned, “Whether it will work or not, we will find out soon enough.” 

She had always been fair, she would treat others kindly if they respected her. But if they tried to cheat her, then don’t blame her for returning the favor. 

In the following afternoon, several people came to the cloth shop to ask for prices one after another. 

However, what annoyed the cloth shop was that those people lowered the price, one more outrageous than the other! 

“250 taels? Do you think I’m a beggar? Go go go!” 

The next two days were the same, there were many people asking. But none of them exceeded 300 taels. The lowest one even shouted up to 150 taels, and he almost vomited blood on the spot.  

When Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou came to the opposite alley to sell pastries again, he bravely walked over. 

“Girl, do you still want the shop?” 

Su Xiaoxiao replied nonchalantly, “Not anymore.” 

The cloth shop owner was stunned, “What?” 

Su Xiaoxiao explained, “I have thought it over. I don’t necessarily need your shop to outdo Jinji. I will just take all their customers and wait for them to close down, and the result is the same.” 

The cloth shop owner: “? ? ?” 

If it was someone else who made such a bold claim, he would have laughed it off. 

But this girl’s business had indeed grown rapidly, and she was drawing more and more customers away from Jinji everyday. 

At the beginning of the new year, you could still see a lot of customers queuing at the entrance of Jinji, but now almost all of them have come to Suji. 

Although it might be a bit exaggerated to defeat Jinji, he inexplicably felt that this girl might really be able to do it ah! 

The cloth shop owner said, “Without a storefront, you’re just a small vendor. You won’t be able to attract good business! Wealthy families won’t buy your pastries!”

Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed, “Are you saying that the Qi family is not considered a wealthy family? I wonder if Madam Qi and Mr. Qi would be unhappy when they hear this ah?” 

The cloth shop owner’s heart skipped a beat. 

He quickly changed his tone, “I just meant that having a storefront would enhance your reputation!” 

Su Xiaoxiao replied, “We are just a small business, I can’t afford your price.” 

The cloth shop owner said, “Then how much are you willing to pay?” 

Su Xiaoxiao held up two fingers. 

The cloth shop owner clutched his chest, “200 taels?! But last time you offered 600 taels!” 

Su Xiaoxiao shrugged and said, “That was the previous price, you missed it, so it’s gone.” 

The cloth shop owner: “……” 

In the end, Su Xiaoxiao got the store for 400 taels. 350 taels for rent and the other 50 taels were for buying some furniture from his shop. 

The cloth shop owner saw that Su Xiaoxiao was just a young girl and thought he could outsmart her by using some underhanded tricks, but little did he know she was sharper than the county office’s accountant.

“If you delay moving out by even a day, I’ll deduct a day’s rent,” Su Xiaoxiao warned.

Cold sweat broke out on the shop owner’s forehead. Was even a small village girl so capable these days? 

Then on second thought, it was also true. If she was not capable, could she compete with Jinji? 

The cloth shop owner quickly ordered his people to pack up, while Shopkeeper Sun went to the county government to invite a guarantor to come over and finalize the paperwork for the property transfer.  

The next step was to renovate. After all, they were opening a pastry shop, and the layout needed to be completely different from that of a cloth shop. 

Su Xiaoxiao went back to draw up the design plans, while Shopkeeper Sun looked for skilled craftsmen, and Liu Ping could be considered as one of them.
