Walking into the Tongji cloth shop and telling her aunt what she meant, Liu Xiulian frowned lightly, "I have already told Hengshan that I will send you to the county to see the craftsmanship of the shopkeeper today, this temporary change of hexagram is afraid that it will leave a bad impression on the shopkeeper, and whether it can be achieved in the future is two."

Chen Qing was dumbfounded at that time, he didn't know that his aunt had already arranged it, if he didn't go, not only would he damage his reputation, but he was afraid that he would also cause trouble for his aunt's relatives of the same clan.

"Then I'll go and talk to the shopkeeper in person now, if he is satisfied with my craftsmanship, I will discuss whether I can wait for the autumn harvest to take over the work" Chen Qing decided not to sell the brush today, and it is the same to wait for the empty time to sell.

"I also asked Hengshan to talk, you don't have to worry about this, and whether the big shops in the county can match your craftsmanship or not, let's go to the shopkeeper first, and then say" The aunt smiled and gave Chen Qingli a smile.

"Alas, then I'll leave for the county seat, and I'll send this embroidery to my aunt when I come back" Chen Qing's eyebrows crooked, and he agreed with a smile.

"When do these two legs have to go? There is a carriage to deliver goods to the county every few days in the town, you can hurry up by car, don't worry, just say that Liu Niang from Tongji Cloth Store asked you to go, and he can bring you to the two copper plates that drive the car" Liu Xiulian finished speaking and pointed out the direction of the carriage to Chen Qing.

Chen Qing walked along the end of the street to the end, saw the guy who was loading the car, and asked the guy about the old man who was driving the car, and Chen Qing looked for the old man Li who was smoking dry tobacco under the shade of the tree.

"Uncle Liu, Aunt Liu asked me to find you for a ride," Chen Qing hurriedly stepped forward and said.

Liu Laohan smacked the dry tobacco, knocked the smoke pot twice on the ground and poured out the ashes, stood up and said, "Chen Wazi, Liu Niang has mentioned it to me, and after loading the car, just sit in front of me

"Then you will be bothered to carry me all the way" Chen Qing hurriedly handed over the two copper plates, Liu Laohan accepted the money and greeted Chen Qing with a smile and squatted and waited for the car to be loaded.

"My car is fixed to run the county, and if you want to go to the county seat in the future, you will come here directly to find me, and you will not delay returning on the same day," Liu Laohan said.

"When will you return?" Chen Qing hurriedly inquired.

"I came back after noon (two o'clock in the afternoon), just in time for dinner. Don't worry, the carriage is going back and forth quickly, it will arrive in half an hour, and you won't delay if you want to do something," Liu Laohan said in a low voice.

He is also working for the owner, and as long as he doesn't talk too much, the owner won't blame him.

"Cheng, then I'll look for you when I'm done" Chen Qing hurriedly thanked Liu Laohan, with this carriage, he was not afraid that the eldest aunt would know that he had secretly gone to the county.

After the carriage was loaded, Liu Laohan beckoned Chen Qing to get on the carriage, raised the horse whip, and the two horses pulled the carriage and hurried forward.

On the way, Liu Laohan told Chen Qing about many lively things in the county, and even told him which one was the cheapest to eat, which store was black-hearted, and which grain store the farmer was most concerned about was the most affordable.

Chen Qing had never been to the county seat, so he seized the opportunity to quickly ask some things he needed to know. Half an hour is only an hour's journey in modern times. Talking all the way to the county seat quickly.

Looking at the wall more than one person high, Chen Qing felt the shadow of the city.

"The wall of our county town is not high, and the provincial city is more than two people high, so the city wall is magnificent," Liu Laohan exaggeratedly introduced.

Chen Qing was not shocked by the height of the wall, but he had lived here for 15 years, and it was the first time he had walked out of the township, and he was inevitably a little excited.

Qingping County's three traditional characters are hung high above the city gate, blue bricks and black characters, it looks very magnificent, there are guards at the city gate, non-war will not carry out routine investigations, and the carriage enters the city gate smoothly.

Qingping County also adheres to the layout of sitting in the north and facing south, divided into the north gate and the south gate, Chen Qing and the two enter from the north gate, if you want to go to the direction of the provincial capital, you have to go out of the south gate and then all the way to the south.

The North Street is deserted with teahouses, wine shops, and two inns hanging high under the guise of a high street. The further he went, the more lively the street became, and near the county center, Liu Laohan drove the carriage to East Street, and after turning two corners, he stopped at the back door of a Zhaofu department store.

"Remember to come here to find me at noon, walk forward from here, and walk a hundred meters to the main street, you can see the Liang Ji Cloth Workshop, if you can't find it, just ask someone to know," Li Laohan said.

"Uncle Xie, I'll be back at noon" Chen Qing thanked him with a smile, and then walked in the direction pointed by Liu Laohan.

From the beginning of entering the city, Liu Laohan explained to Chen Qing in detail the distribution of the county. The county seat is divided into four districts, which are divided into four directions: east, west, north and south. The county government is in the west, the school is in the southwest, and the rest of the southwest is located in the houses of large families, and the northwest is an ordinary residential area.

In the southeast, there are post stations, car dealers, high-end restaurants, and inns, while in the northeast, there are some residences, and the rest of the streets are lined with shops. It can be said that the entire county is divided into two parts, the west is for both government and civilian use, and the east is for business and entertainment. The most famous flower street is also located due east.

With a general understanding, Chen Qing also determined the purpose of this trip, first go to Liangji Cloth Workshop, and the rest of the time to try his luck in the county government-run school, if not, go to the private school to see.

I didn't go far to the main street, looking at the lively street, the bustling pedestrian carriage, although it is not as prosperous as modern times, but after 15 years, the memory of the previous life has long been blurred, and there is not much sense of reality. On the contrary, suddenly seeing such a lively street made Chen Qing feel a little lost for a while.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Qing pulled the corners of his mouth, who said that he must nest in that small village, the county seat is nothing more than that, as long as he has the heart, he can still reintegrate into the prosperity.

Chen Qing didn't look left and right like a bun entering the city, but concentrated on finding the Liang Ji Cloth Workshop. Sure enough, it is easy to recognize what Liu Laohan said.

The whole Liang Ji cloth shop covers an area of more than 10 meters, the high plaque hangs in the middle of the first floor and the second floor, the four big characters of the Liang Ji cloth shop are deeply embedded in the plaque for three points, and the black characters on the white background highlight the neat and tidy atmosphere. The blue cloth fluttered with the breeze, and two men stood at the door to greet the guests who came in and out.

The double door is 3 meters wide with the door panels removed, so you can see the interior of the store at a glance. On the front row of shelves, there are a number of cloth rolls of different colors, there are cotton cloth, linen, silk silk are all available, and the colors are even more varied, comparing more than a dozen cloth rows of colors in Qingping Town to the mud.

On the left-hand side is the account room, where a middle-aged man writes down the purchases of customers, and next to him a chubby man crackles and calculates the money with an abacus.

There are two rows of shelves on the right-hand side, one row is the common rouge gouache of the daughter's house, and the other row is a row of various colors of Juanpa, and there are some embroidered finished clothes waiting for the guests to choose the style.

There is a neat row of screens at the back of the shop, and customers who need to measure the size of the screen are allowed to have a special tailor measure the size behind the screen. You can pick up your ordered clothing or have it delivered to your home.

Chen Qing couldn't help but smack his tongue at this, even if it is thrown in modern times, the quality of this service is not to be picked.

The guy at the door saw Chen Qing standing in front of the door and watched for a long time, and stepped forward with a smile and asked, "Does this master need to buy cloth or tailor-made clothes?"

Chen Qing pursed his lips, he didn't look like a customer who could afford to buy the things inside, but fortunately, the guy didn't look down on people, so he didn't buy it and quickly got out of the way.

"There are also embroidery and rouge sales in the store, what do you need to buy?" another guy glanced up and down at Chen Qing and winked at the guy next to him.

Although the rules of their store are large and they do not allow rudeness to any potential customers, customers who obviously can't afford to buy things are blocking the façade, and they need to politely leave.

"I'm here to find Liu Hengshan, Mr. Liu, please ask the two of you to help me give me some advice" Of course, Chen Qing knew that he was stunned and stood at the door to hinder the business of the cloth workshop, so he took a few steps to the side and said politely.

"Then please wait a while, I'll look for the principal" The guy who spoke earlier responded politely, I didn't pick up anyone, this is to find the principal Mr. Liu, if you offend them, I am afraid that this job will not be guaranteed.

"Why don't you go in and wait?" the chief is receiving guests at this time, and I'm afraid I'll have to wait a while," the other clerk politely invited.

"Okay, I'll just stand outside and wait for a while, so as not to disturb the business of the store" Chen Qing hurriedly retreated to the side of the door, standing straight with the basket on his back.

The guy saw that although Chen Qing was not well dressed, he was polite and his words were neither humble nor arrogant, and he didn't dare to treat him with the previous mentality, since he had to wait, he still did his best to complete his work.

Chen Qing waited for half an hour, and Mr. Liu stepped out of the store in a hurry and glanced up and down at Chen Qing.

"You are Mr. Liu, I am Chen Qing, the kid mentioned by Aunt Liu, and I am tired of Mr. Chen's introduction" Although Chen Qing was sweating hot, he was not impatient, and he stood up straight after politely saluting.

"Hehe, yes, it's rare for people in the countryside to have such a heart, and it's no wonder that Xiulian praised her many times" Liu Hengshan nodded approvingly.

"I don't dare to get praise from my aunt, Chen Qing only has this bit of craftsmanship to see people" Chen Qing smiled a little shyly, he had not been praised openly for a long time, he was used to the cynicism of the eldest uncle, and he was still a little unaccustomed to seeing people in a regular manner.

At this time, it was past 10 o'clock in the morning, the temperature had already risen, and Chen Qing was already sweating profusely after nearly half an hour in the sun.

"It's hot outside, follow me into the house and talk," Liu Hengshan waved his hand to beckon Chen Qing into the house.

Liu Hengshan brought Chen Qing into the room, put down the shelf he was holding and said, "In the future, you don't need to be called Mr. or Mr., you are called Aunt Xiulian, and you will call me Uncle Liu in the future."

"Uncle Liu, there is still a lot of trouble this time, Chen Qing has thanked me in advance" Chen Qing hurriedly called respectfully.

"I think you have a bit of a scholar's temperament, I haven't heard Xiulian mention it" Liu Hengshan poured Chen Qing a cup of tea and asked curiously.

"The kid has never studied, but he also knows some etiquette, and it is inevitable to be restrained when he first comes to the county" Chen Qing said a little embarrassed, it was the first time for him to speak so sourly. Probably because I was too nervous.

"Haha, you're also interesting, there are no outsiders who don't need to be restrained, we are all from the countryside, we don't need those false courtesies" Liu Hengshan laughed, and the local words immediately came out of his mouth.

"Hehe, I'm a little more comfortable with Uncle Liu talking like this" Chen Qing touched his nose and drank dry tea in one sip, and also saved those rules and tasted tea slowly, he was almost dying of thirst.

"I've been thirsty all the way, pour my own tea and drink, don't talk to me" Liu Hengshan brought out a plate of pastries to cushion Chen Qing's stomach, it is said that these things are for the guests to eat. But he is a principal and still has some rights, and no one dares to say anything about getting a few pieces of pastry for his nephew to satisfy his hunger.
