The next day, Yingqi woke up. I guess it's still too tiring to catch the car the first day. After all, it's still quite bumpy.

By this time, her father had already brought her breakfast. I specially bought her fried dough sticks and soy milk that is not available in Ba County.

Eating the long-lost fried dough and soy milk, Ying Qi sighed a little, in fact, in ancient times, it was similar to her previous life in many places.

After breakfast, the two of them were ready to go out to find the carpenter's shop.

Walking all the way from South Street, there are many shops on both sides, and the earliest ones are naturally early shops, all of which specialize in one or two kinds of breakfast. Those who sell steamed buns sell steamed rice porridge, those who sell steamed buns sell steamed buns, those who sell fried dough sticks sell soy milk, and those who sell small noodles sell small noodles. There are the most noodle stalls selling small noodles, and there is one not far away, and there is another one not far away. People in Fucheng don't seem to make their own breakfast, and Ying Qi saw that many shops were buying breakfast or sitting and eating noodles at various small noodle stalls.

The rest of the shops are also opening their doors, either already open for morning cleaning, or just have shelves on the shelves, waiting for customers to come to the door.

The early morning in Fucheng is a scene of prosperity and prosperity.

Walking to the south street, it is easy to see the carpenter shop with three big-character signboards of square carpenter.

There are already apprentice carpenters opening the door in front of the shop, placing wooden products and the like.

Zhou Chungui walked in with Ying Qi.

"Guest officer, what do you want to see?" An apprentice saw someone coming, and hurriedly greeted him.

"We wanted to make a plaque. Zhou Chungui said directly. The little merchant mentioned to them before that the carpenter didn't need to find any acquaintances here, and all the items were clearly priced. Although it is not cheap, it can also guarantee the authenticity.

This was also mentioned by the carpenter in the town.

"Have you considered what kind of material the plaque is? The name of the plaque has been decided, and how big is your store, we can consider the size of the plaque according to your storefront. Sure enough, Ying Qi couldn't help but nod, and every question asked was a more practical question.

"We don't know about this. Our family opened a small shop for the first time. Zhou Chungui didn't know how to explain it.

"Well, we have a few finished products in our store, you can take a look first. Second, tell me what store you are going to open and what your needs are, and I will help you consider. "The apprentice is estimated to have met a lot of such buyers, and they are quite experienced.

So Zhou Chungui told him that he was going to open a bun shop, but it was a little bit of a grade. In addition, I compared the approximate size of the shop, the budget and so on.

After such a discussion, the apprentice led them to look at a few custom-made finished products that had been basically completed, and decided to choose cheap mahogany to make the plaque, which could be replaced when there was money in the future. The size is about one meter in length and thirty centimeters in width.

As for the signboard font, it is naturally Mr. Song's words, and you can directly ask the carpenter shop to engrave it.

The other two sides are also made into vertical cards in the form of couplets, with a length of one meter and a half and a width of five centimeters.

Vertical cards are still more durable than paper-pasted couplets.

The price is not very expensive, and it is close to two taels of silver. The main reason is that the material requirements are too low.

It's a long time, and it will take eight days to pick it up.

Ying Qi pulled his father's sleeve, and Zhou Chungui looked down at her. "Dad, let's go to another store and ask for the price. There's a lot of time anyway. Ying Qi whispered to her father.

Zhou Chungui nodded. Then he said to the apprentice, "The price is a little expensive, and it has been too long." Let's think about it again, and we'll have to discuss it with our family when we get back. I decided to come back tomorrow. ”

The apprentice is also accustomed to the comparison of the price of the guest, and still has a good attitude, "Okay, guest officer." You can just come to me when you get there. ”

So Zhou Chungui and Ying Qi left the carpenter shop. Walk back again. Because the little merchant introduced it before, there is also a mahogany shop on the south street.

"Dad, it's early. Let's take a look at a few more. Zhou Chungui nodded. "Well, you've never been here either. Daddy will take you around. ”

At this time, all the shops were already open.

The number of shops on South Street is so prosperous that Ba County can't compare at all. All kinds of stores are divided into categories, and they specialize in one door.

A pastry shop only sells pastries. There are pine nut goose oil rolls, ruyi cakes, chestnut flour cakes, jujube paste yam cakes, milk crisps, etc., the form is rich, the color is bright, and the smell is slowly sweet. The kind that can make women and children drool.

The liquor store sells a wide variety of liquor. However, Ying Qi followed her father in and tasted it carefully, and there was still mostly rice wine, and occasionally sorghum wine, all of which were imported from the north and were very expensive.

Silk shops sell all kinds of silk and fabrics, while ready-to-wear shops only sell finished silk scarves, purses, clothes, and so on.

Shoe shops sell shoes made of various materials. Women's and children's shoes are the majority, and men's shoes are in two or three styles of dark tones, but the materials are still different. And women's and children's shoes are biased towards style, pretty, small, expensive, elegant, cute, and so on.

There are relatively few furniture stores, and after walking halfway, I saw two, and when I went in, I saw that one was cheap and the material was very poor. On the contrary, the shop is quite elegant, very expensive, and the texture is excellent. But naturally it's not suitable for Yingqi's family.

Just passed by a restaurant, suddenly a person fell out of the restaurant with a "Peng", although there was still a long distance from Zhou Chungui and Ying Qi, but the dust also rose extremely high, straight to Ying Qi's face. Ying Qi's eyes closed intuitively, and then she felt her father hug her aside.

"Daddy, daddy, daddy, what's wrong with you?" I saw a young girl running out of the restaurant, falling next to the old man who fell out, crying loudly.

"Cough, cough, cloud ......" The old man coughed a few times, and almost passed away.

"Dad, are you okay? It's all my daughter's fault, I still shouldn't wear a face towel when I play the piano. Otherwise, how could it make that son angry. The girl has a palm-sized face, eyes like apricots, a small cherry mouth, her hair hanging low, a pale green long skirt, and her waist is less than three feet away, obviously a little beauty. However, there is a small black scar on the left ear and under the left cheek, which is very conspicuous, not only losing the sense of beauty, but also looking ugly.

There was a quick circle around to watch the lively people.

"It's so ugly, and I don't know how to lift. Damn old thing. A sloppy boy came out of the restaurant, surrounded by two men who looked like family members.

". As he spoke, he glared at the two people on the ground again, and then raised his sleeves and left.

Obviously, the father and daughter who sang were trying to collect a little more money, so the daughter covered her ugly scar with a face towel, which made the aristocratic brother covet her beauty, but she found out that she was an ugly girl, so this scene broke out.

And the most cruel thing is that if you hurt someone, you don't need to apologize at all, which may be the tragedy of this era. Ying Qi couldn't help but sigh on the side.

"Ahem!" the old man clutched his lungs, as if he had just been kicked in the chest, and he was almost out of breath.

"Yun'er, Yun'er, take care of yourself!" Sure enough, he didn't catch his breath, and swallowed his breath directly.

The people around shook their heads, sighed, and slowly dispersed.

"That's the third son of the state capital. Alas!"

"yes, I can only blame myself for being unlucky. It's pathetic!"

"Such a young child, alas, looks like this. When her father leaves, all she has to do is beg for food. ”

The people talked and departed, but there was no one to help them. The state of the world can be seen.

"Daddy, Daddy!" the girl cried hoarsely.

When everyone left, Ying Qi pulled Zhou Chungui's sleeves.

"Dad, let's go help her. "I don't think there will be any porcelain touching. Ying Qi thinks about it, no one will worry about ugly girls. If you go and help now, it should be nothing.

Zhou Chungui nodded. And they went forward.

"Girl, your father has gone. Let's mourn and change!" Zhou Chungui spoke first to comfort the girl.

"Woo, uncle, woo......" The girl cried so much that she couldn't speak.

"Your father is gone, you have to think about burying him. Do you have any other relatives?"

"No more. I was an orphan girl, and my father picked me up when I was young, and since then I have been wandering around with my father and singing. The girl sobbed, but slowly stopped crying.

"Uncle, my name is Xueyun, I still have a little savings, I don't know if it's enough to bury my father. Also, I won't do anything else. "At least there's no way she's going to carry her dad or anything. The girl also saw that Zhou Chungui and the two wanted to help her.

"Well, you wait for me. Zhou Chungui thought about it and came to the restaurant.

"Shopkeeper, this man died after what happened to you. Although you are not responsible, it should be okay to help. Can you arrange for a second child to go to the coffin shop to buy a coffin, and then ask someone to put his father in it and pull him to the grave outside. After all, Zhou Chungui is not familiar with this place.

"Well, it's okay to be a little busy. The father and daughter have been singing with me for three months. I can't help it. That's the third son of the state capital. "The shopkeeper has been hiding in the restaurant. Now that Zhou Chungui is coming, it's not good not to come forward.

"Then trouble you as soon as possible, after all, the dead man lying in front of your house will not affect the business. Zhou Chungui said again.

The shopkeeper reacted quickly, quickly found the shopkeeper, and went to the coffin shop.

After asking the coffin shop and coming back, the cheapest coffin costs five taels of silver, Xueyun took out a bunch of small broken silver and copper coins from his purse, counted them, and only three taels of silver. Zhou Chungui added another three taels of silver, and finally scraped together six taels of silver, and the coffin shop used five taels of silver, and the rest had to use some other expenses.

The old man was put into the most ordinary coffin, and then dragged to the grave outside the city for burial.

After tossing this scene, the people in the restaurant all collected their wages and went back. The shopkeeper also muttered that he wanted to burn some incense or something, and go to get rid of bad luck.

Xueyun stood at the head of her father's grave and wept bitterly. Zhou Chungui and Ying Qi have been with her.

"Uncle, you helped me, and now I have no relatives and no home. If you agree, I am willing to repay you as a slave and a slave. Xueyun suddenly knelt between Zhou Chungui and Ying Qi.

"This ...... You can't make it unlike. Zhou Chungui hurriedly waved his hand and refused.

"Uncle, I have nowhere to go. Take me in. I can do anything. Snow Cloud pleaded.

Ying Qi looked into her eyes, very sincere, without a trace of artificiality.

"Daddy. Promise her. In the future, we may have to hire someone in the store. Ying Qi thought about it again, and then said to her father.

"Well, that's fine. There is no need to be a slave or a servant, just the small workers we have hired. Zhou Chungui said.

So the three of them left the grave and returned to South Street.

After they're all gone. Quickly turned out four men in black, hoes that seemed to have been prepared a long time ago, and quickly dug out Xueyun's father's coffin.

"Oh my god, it almost suffocated me. Xueyun waited for the coffin to open and jumped out of it directly.

"You're almost exposed. Just now, when Miss and her father went to talk to the shopkeeper, Miss was obviously standing next to her, and you dared to open your eyes and breathe. Luckily, her attention was on her father's side. One of the men counted.

"This, hehe, hey, oh, I didn't come here temporarily, you guys caught the strong man. It's the first time I've seen Miss, and I'm naturally fascinated by what Miss looks like. It's not like you hide from her every day. The man scratched his head and salivated his face.

"Okay, there is Xueyun by Miss's side, notify the eyeliner to withdraw. We're going to have to rush back. There's a lot of work to do on the master's side. A few of them quickly left as they spoke.
