Chapter Seventy-Eight
This kind of flower cloth seems to be rarely seen in the Central Plains. When I saw it for the first time, Tong Yan was also very strange, and I asked Miao Yuyu to know that this is a cloth that only exists in southern Xinjiang, because the dyes used are only produced in southern Xinjiang, and the dyeing method is only known to the indigenous people of southern Xinjiang, so it is difficult to see after leaving southern Xinjiang.
If so, why is there such cloth here? However, no matter what the reason for this piece of cloth to appear here, Tong Yan decided to buy it and give it to Sister Yu, she will be very happy.
The sister-in-law of the cloth shop saw that Tong Yan was very interested in the flower cloth that had been placed for a long time but had never been cared for, and hurriedly walked over with a smile: "Girl, you really know the goods, this cloth is a rare goods, you see, the weaving is fine, and strong and durable, this color is also unique." Look at ......"
"Auntie, how did you sell this cloth?" Tong Yan interrupted the aunt.
Yo? Is this going to buy? The aunt's face was happy, she was finally able to sell this rag, and what did she say about the rare goods in southern Xinjiang, such ugly tricks, no one even asked.
The aunt winked at Tong Yan and said softly: "I look at you and like it, I will give you a cheaper, two dollars of silver and one foot of cloth, I will sell it to you for one dollar and five feet!" ”
"Huh? So expensive? Tong Yan frowned, he only had one or two pieces of silver, and if he only bought one or two feet, he didn't know what he could do.
Seeing Tong Yan's embarrassed face, the aunt seemed to be ruthless, clasped her hands, and spoke again: "Girl, I see that you really want to buy it, so in this way, I will give it to you cheaper?" ”
"How much is a foot?"
"Well...... How about a penny for a foot? The aunt's expression looked very distressed, "This is transported from southern Xinjiang!" ”
Tong Yan looked at the cloth with some entanglement, and then looked at the aunt with a tangle: "Can you ...... Is it cheaper? ”
"Huh? Still too expensive, huh? The aunt was a little unhappy, "Girl, this cloth is only in my house, and you can't buy it anywhere else!" ”
"Cheaper, auntie?"
The aunt looked at the flower cloth, and also tangled, this cloth is a good cloth, but no one can look at this color, and finally came to see it, and I can't afford it, and then there is nothing to make money!
"What cloth? So unusual? ”
The lazy familiar voice came from behind Tong Yan, Tong Yan was startled, turned around and looked up, his forehead touched the ** for some reason, and he almost screamed out in pain.
"Whew!" There was another familiar wail, and it was Su Hao holding his chin and lying on the counter.
"Hey! Su Hao! What are you doing? Tong Yan rubbed his forehead and kicked Su Hao dissatisfiedly.
Su Hao wailed again, what, he just saw Tong Yan going to the market on the way home, so he followed, lest Tong Yan be played as a monkey by these cunning merchants, and even be kicked by Tong Yan!
"What are you doing with me?" Tong Yan put the cloth back on the counter and asked with a pout.
"What do you mean to follow you? I just walked around, saw that this cloth is very unique, and wanted to come and see, who knew it was you! Su Hao's face flushed slightly, and he panicked, but it is true that the color of this cloth is unique, and he also wants to see it, which is also true.
Tong Yan no longer paid attention to Su Hao, turned around and touched the piece of flower cloth again, and asked the aunt with some pleading: "Auntie, I really want to buy this cloth, can you make it cheaper?" ”
The aunt's eyes were lowered, as if she was thinking, but she quickly glanced at Su Hao behind Tong Yan.
This boy seems to know this girl, and he is gorgeously dressed, and his big hair is still trimmed, and he should also be a rich child. And this girl looks very familiar with this boy's brother, but she is dressed in ordinary cotton clothes, and she doesn't know what the relationship between the two is.
If it is what she thinks, this girl is looked down on by this little brother, then it is no problem to sell this cloth at a higher price today.
The aunt pursed her lips, well, it is a little more to make more money, this price cannot be reduced!
But if the little brother is not willing to buy it at a high price, then won't this cloth continue to be smashed in his hands? The aunt hesitated again.
This aunt is still playing her own little abacus, and Su Hao has already seen the cloth clearly, the fabric is good, but it is slightly hard, which should be the reason for the pulp. As for the color, this blue is a little different, and it is really rare to see a cracked color, or it is almost invisible in the Central Plains, but I have seen something similar in Miao Yuyu's place. The only strange thing is that in southern Xinjiang, such fabrics are mostly impregnated with cotton and linen interwoven fabrics or whole linen fabrics, and it is the first time I have seen cotton fabrics like this to be impregnated.
But how could this alien fabric appear in Jiangnan, and it was such a unique piece? Su Hao looked at the aunt on the side with some confusion, it seems that she has to ask this boss lady.
"Boss," the aunt's abacus was not finished, but Su Hao spoke first, "If I'm not mistaken, this cloth shouldn't be the local workmanship in Jiangnan, right?" ”
"Huh?" The aunt came back to her senses, "Ah, yes, yes, the son knows the goods, this cloth was transported from southern Xinjiang!" Just one piece, the old woman can guarantee that you won't see exactly the same thing in Jiangnan! ”
"So?" Su Hao touched his chin and looked thoughtful.
Tong Yan rolled her eyes, pushed Su Hao aside, and continued to smile at her aunt: "Auntie, is it a little cheaper?" ”
Looking at Su Hao's appearance, with many years of experience in ushering in and sending it, the aunt was almost certain that the eldest young master would definitely buy this piece of fabric, and immediately put on a look of embarrassment: "I said girl, it's really not that the aunt doesn't want to be cheap, this cloth really can't be cheaper!" ”
Can't get cheaper? Su Hao snorted coldly in his heart, although the dyeing of this cloth is a technique of southern Xinjiang, but this cloth - Su Hao rubbed it with his hand, and then looked at it carefully - but it is definitely a local weaving technique in Jiangnan, and it will not be transported from southern Xinjiang at all, but someone will make it locally with the method of a different race.
Tong Yan took out one or two pieces of hot silver that he had already carried, his brows furrowed tightly, and he hesitated to buy the fabric.
When the aunt saw that Tong Yan had already taken out the silver, the embarrassment on her face immediately turned into a bright smile: "Girl, this price is for you to give this cloth, you have earned it!" ”
Tong Yan bit his lip and was about to hand over the silver at the moment when Su Hao pulled Tong Yan's sleeve, and the broken silver fell to the ground.
"Su Hao!" Tong Yan hurriedly picked up the silver, turned his head and was about to teach Su Hao a lesson, but saw Su Hao wink at her with a wicked smile.
Forehead...... Su Hao was already beautiful, and this playful blink made Tong Yan wander for a while.
Well, although I didn't understand what Su Hao meant, I probably knew that Su Hao wanted her not to rush to buy cloth, so let's see what this young master was going to do. Tong Yan silently put away the silver and moved behind Su Hao.
The smile on the aunt's face froze a little, are you playing with the old lady? Do you buy this cloth or not?
