It's almost Qingming, and Xiang Tao has been weaving with Situ Cheng for two months.

Earlier, Situ Ming planned to let Uncle Shi sell the peaches, but there was work to be done in the field, so the things in the market were put aside.

Because of this beginning of fragrant peaches, there are several farmers who do not support it openly and secretly do not oppose it, allowing their daughters to follow Situ Ming together.

Seeing that everyone wants to talk and stop talking in the past few days, in fact, Situ Ming understands it in his heart. The reason why the peasant girls don't care about gossip and stay with them is also so that their lives can be better like the Shi family. It's just that a lot of this cloth embroidery has been done, and the Shi family has not been seen to sell it.

Situ Cheng didn't say it, and the peasant girls didn't want to mention it, everyone was secretly anxious.

Situ Ming explained the situation to the Shi couple and said that he was going to the county seat. The Shi family and his wife saw that Situ Cheng was for everyone's welfare, and they didn't want to say much, so they asked Shi Zi'er to follow.

Situ put samples of cloth of various patterns and colors and some hand-embroidery by peasant girls into a package. changed into men's clothes, wiped his face, put on a big hat and stones, and went out.

"Why do you make your good face look so ugly every time you go out, and I feel weird, as if you are walking with a stranger?" Shi Zier was puzzled.

"If you can't recognize me anymore, it means that my disguise skills are getting higher and higher." Situ said with a smile.

"I just think it's weird, how can I not recognize you, even if you really change your face, I can recognize you." Shi Zi'er said.

"Bragging again." Situ didn't believe it.

There are large fields of rape flowers blooming on the roadside, and the spring breeze blows, and the fragrance of flowers hits people.

Situ Cheng took a deep breath and said, "It's so fragrant." ”

"I heard that the spring color in the city is more charming, and there are special gardens, including mountains and lakes, all kinds of trees and flowers." Shi Zi'er said yearningly.

"There are mountains and rockeries, and the water is just brought in from other places. The trees and flowers are deliberately planted, how can we have a special taste in this place. Situ said.

"You call it sour grapes mentality, when we get to the county seat and get things done, we will also play a trick and come back." Shizier built yì.

"That's a good idea, I hope things go a little better." Situ said.

The two talked and laughed all the way, but they didn't feel that the road was far, but Shi Zi'er's legs and feet were faster and always left Situ Cheng behind, so Situ Cheng shouted later: "Shi Zi'er, you slow down, wait for me." ”

Shi Zi'er stopped: "Why are you slower than a snail climbing." The two chased and fought again, and they were really two little guesses.

Situ Ming didn't plan to set up a stall again, thinking about going to the county town to find a merchant who was willing to buy their things. The bazaars are all places where farmers buy and sell, and they don't happen every day, but only two or three times a month. To put it bluntly, the farmer sells something and buys something, which is equivalent to bartering.

The city in the county is relatively fixed, there are many restaurants and merchants, and the things are relatively high-end and exquisite.

Situ Cheng took the package and walked away from many merchants selling cloth, but they were all kicked out. They all have their own purchase channels, and they can't change it. Shi Zi'er was a little depressed, and Situ Ming persuaded:

"Let's not be discouraged, let's move on to the next one. I don't believe it, none of the cloth merchants in this county are flexible and knowledgeable. ”

They walked into a cloth shop again, and there was no one in the shop.

"The name of this shop is chic, and it is called Juke to come to Buzhuang." Shi Zi'er said that he had recently recognized a lot of words with Situ Ming.

Gathering guests to come, at first glance, it will sound like a rejection of guests, how can they take such a name, Situ Ming wondered.

Situ Cheng looked around, and the things in the store were all relatively ordinary cotton and linen fabrics, and there were no patterns. Strangely, I saw a middle-aged woman in an indigo cotton shirt coming out from behind the curtain.

Merchants of this dynasty had a relatively low status and could not wear silk or patterned clothes. It's just that this store is strange enough, the shopkeepers of other houses are all men, but her family is a woman.

"Guest, what do you need?" The middle-aged woman asked.

Shi Zier was embarrassed to speak because he was rejected by other merchants a lot.

When the middle-aged woman saw this, she said:

"Which prefecture did the two teenagers call from, and is there an introducer?"

This said that Shi Zier and Situ Cheng were blinded, this is a strange question, do you have to tell the address and introducer when you buy something?

No matter how many things come in, if this one doesn't make it, there will be the next one, I don't believe it's so difficult to do.

Situ Cheng took off the hat on her head, stepped forward and said frankly:

"The aunt of the store is good, I don't know if the aunt will accept some embroidery from the folk female workers."

The shopkeeper didn't kick them out like the other shopkeepers did.

"Did you bring it, show it to me." The shopkeeper said.

Situ Cheng and Shi Zi'er were happy, this time there was a play. Shi Zi'er was left outside, and the shopkeeper took Situ Cheng to a cubicle. Situ Cheng knew that some of the things here belonged to women, and it was inconvenient for Shi Zi'er to be there. She went to the cubicle and took out the contents of the package and showed them to the store one by one.

"It's okay to weave cloth, but is the color dyed by yourself?" The shopkeeper asked.

"I dyed it myself." Situ replied hurriedly.

"The craftsmanship of this embroidery is okay, but it is ......" The shopkeeper wanted to say that the materials used were not good, and it would be better if the silk thread was used to embroider satin.

"It's not a secret, it's all from the hands of peasant girls. It was really difficult for the family, so I had to sell these for relief. If it's convenient for the boss, take it. Situ Cheng confessed frankly.

In fact, since she took off her hat, the shopkeeper has found out that she is a woman disguised as a man. I have seen a lot of people when I open a business to do business, and I don't have any eyesight to do business.

This cloth shop is different from other shops, and the things in front of you are very ordinary. In fact, the good things are in the inner hall, and the light yì is not shown. Among them, there are many objects from the hands of the boudoir women, so it is difficult to display them to the outside.

Anyone who comes to her, whether they buy it or put it up for sale, is introduced to her. Like some noble ladies from poor families, women from merchant families, or maids in large households, unfavored concubines, in order to make a living, they have to sell some needlework to survive. It's just that because of her identity and lack of a way, she has such a special business.

Most of the people who come to her to buy things are maids, and they don't have time to prepare some personal items on weekdays. The temperament is extremely high, and he thinks that the mother-in-law outside is not clean, so he specially came to buy things from the hands of the boudoir woman. In addition, there are also some Qinglou women from the land of fireworks to patronize.

Most of the people who came were half-covered with a lute or sent someone from their side. So the shopkeeper guessed a little bit after seeing Situ Ming's scene, of course, as for what she said, she was a woman from a peasant family, and she was still suspicious.

"The rule of the small shop is to sell the goods before paying, as for whether anyone wants it, I don't dare to guarantee you here. If you don't mind, you can leave it here first, and I'll write you a note, and you'll come with it in a few days. How much is sold, the shop takes fifty percent, and the rest is settled for you. "The owner is refreshed.

Shi Zi'er pulled Situ Cheng aside and said in a low voice: "I don't see anything in his shop, can we sell our things here?" What's more, if you want to give him things first, you don't know when you will get the money? And I have to take fifty percent of the profits, I think this thing is very strange, or let's go to the next one. ”

Situ Cheng groaned for a long time and said to the shopkeeper:

"Okay, just as you say."
