Cui Wenqing secretly felt strange, and asked with a smile: "Is Brother Bai very famous?" Why did the second master of the king turn into a cat like a tiger when he heard your name? ”

Bai Yifei said lightly: "If my uncle is willing to tell me how he found out, he will tell the truth." ”

Seeing that he brought up the old things again, Cui Wenqing didn't want to hide it, and said with a smile: "Although Your Excellency's martial arts are high, but you are not very good at stalking, I saw you many times when I went shopping yesterday, and then I met you outside the gate of the mansion when I returned to the house, and I kept staring at me and Zhi Jichang, looking like I was ready to make a move, and you also appeared many times when you went out of the city today, I naturally guessed." ”

Bai Yifei suddenly woke up, and said with a sincere heart: "Uncle's heart is as careful as hair, and I admire it." Then he saluted solemnly and said in a loud voice, "Bai Yifei, the former army commander under the command of the Metropolitan Governor and General Ning Yuan, has seen my uncle. ”

Cui Wenqing was shocked, and understood that this General Ning Yuan was a martial artist under the fifth grade, and this person was in a high position at a young age, which was really good.

In a flash of thought, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Bai Yifei up, and said with a smile: "It was General Bai, but he didn't know Mount Tai with his eyes." ”

"Uncle, don't say that." Bai Yifei showed a faint smile, and there was a hint of admiration in his eyes when he looked at Cui Wenqing, "Actually, the last general has admired you for a long time, and you can become the husband of our Grand Governor, uncle, you are really ...... It's unusual! ”

Cui Wenqing's head is full of black lines, why does it sound weird, is this guy praising me or scolding me?

When he came to He Laohan's store, Cui Wenqing looked around, but saw that the cabinet inside was overturned, the floor was full of cloth, and it was messy, He Laohan knelt down on the cloth full of footprints, and burst into tears.

"Uncle......" Xiao Lori said with a mournful voice, with a pleading look on her face, obviously hoping that Cui Wenqing could help.

Cui Wenqing bowed slightly, put the desk that fell to the ground upright, sat down and sighed lightly: "Uncle He, everything has happened, and it's useless to cry, it's better to think about how to solve it." ”

Bai Yifei nodded in agreement: "Uncle is right, a good man will not frown with a knife and axe, how can he cry." ”

He Laohan wiped away his tears, choked up and said: "You don't know, this silk village is all the family wealth of Xiao Lao'er, and now it has been destroyed by these bullies, how can you repay your gambling debts?" Isn't that a desperate situation! ”

Cui Wenqing smiled and said: "Isn't it just fifty taels of silver, it's just a trivial matter, how can you force people into a desperate situation." ”

As soon as he heard this, He Laohan suddenly perked up, thinking that Cui Wenqing was the uncle of the Zhen family, the husband of the dignified governor of the Zhenwu Army, and immediately looked over with a look of hope.

But this old man didn't know Cui Wenqing's embarrassing position in the folding mansion, as well as his actual identity as a poor scholar, not to mention fifty taels of silver for Cui Wenqing today, he couldn't even take out five taels of silver on his body.

Cui Wenqing's heart was not here, he thought about it for a while, and asked in a deep voice: "Uncle He, I don't know if you are good at tailoring clothes?" ”

Hearing this, He Laohan nodded hurriedly and said: "Qi Cui Gongzi, Xiao Lao'er was born as a tailor, and tailoring is his strength." ”

"In this way, I will tell you an idea, and you can earn a sum of money to pay off your debts."

"Huh? I don't know what the magic is? ”

"Clothing!"

"Clothing?!" He Laohan was surprised, and the old face that was originally full of excitement dimmed, and said in frustration, "Cui Gongzi, there are dozens of silk and satin villages in Fuzhou City, and every family can make clothes, and the profit is not much, the gambling house has a grace period of ten days, how can Xiao Lao'er make money to repay his debts as soon as possible?" ”

"Hehe, this kind of clothing I taught you is not ordinary clothing, because it has never appeared." Cui Wenqing smiled.

"Huh? Please also ask the son to give advice. He Laohan hurriedly asked.

Cui Wenqing thought about it and decided that it should be explained more vividly, so he stood up, spread his legs slightly, shook his body and said, "I don't know if you feel that thing swaying a lot when you walk?" ”

This is Cui Wenqing's more profound experience after crossing, and he has been very uncomfortable.

In ancient times, there was no such thing as underwear, and ordinary people wore a pair of obscene pants in the innermost layer.

In other words, whether it was a high-ranking emperor or an ordinary peddler and pawn in the Qi Dynasty, they were all directly hung with a gap, as long as they were men, they would sway every day.

He Laohan and Bai Yifei, as men, were stunned and quickly reflected, but Xiao Lotus Ye looked puzzled, stood up and swayed like Cui Wenqing, and asked suspiciously: "What is shaking so much?" Why don't I feel this way? ”

"Poof!"

Suddenly, Bai Yifei squirted out the hot tea in his mouth, spilling it all over the case, and then he was choked and coughed repeatedly, and his face instantly turned red.

Cui Wenqing couldn't help it, laughed out loud, leaned back and forth, and almost burst into tears.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Wang Laohan pulled the little Lori to sit down, bluffed and said: "Adults talk, children don't talk too much if they don't understand!" ”

"Oh!" Lotus Ye responded aggrievedly, but her heart was still unclear.

Cui Wenqing couldn't help but smile and said: "Uncle He, this thing that I will teach you to cut now is called underwear, which can also be called big pants in layman's terms, which is specially worn in the innermost, and the effect of women wearing pants is not too obvious, but as our men, this thing is the close-fitting armor of that thing, which is really useful." ”

As soon as he heard this, He Laohan suddenly became interested, and hurriedly said: "Please also ask the son to explain to Xiao Lao'er in detail, how should these pants be cut and made?" ”

Cui Wenqing instructed Lotus Ye to find a pen and paper, groaned slightly, lifted the brush and sketched it on the rice paper, and after a while, a pair of briefs were already on the paper.

He Laohan took the rice paper and looked at it carefully, and said with some hesitation for a moment: "Triangle? How does this thing feel weird? Don't you open the file? ”

Cui Wenqing explained with a smile: "Boss, please see, the reason why the pants are designed as triangles is because this can perfectly wrap our buttocks, and the trousers use cowhide bands as elastic ropes to prevent them from falling, and it is also very convenient to take them off. ”

Hearing Cui Wenqing's words about his pants like this, He Laohan was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

This thing...... Is there really such a god?

He pondered for a long time, and said with some hesitation: "Cui Gongzi, if you don't think so, Xiao Lao'er will first cut 100 pairs of pants to sell according to what you said, and see everyone's reaction, I don't know what you think?" ”

Cui Wenqing sighed lightly: "Uncle, your idea is too conservative, these pants are simple to cut, and there is not much technical content, it is very easy to be imitated by others, wait for you to wait for a good response, maybe other imitations of silk and satin have come out, how can you make money?" ”

What Cui Wenqing said is a real case that has happened in the world in which he lives.

In 1935, the Jockey company in the United States sold the world's first pair of briefs in Chicago, which immediately attracted a crazy rush, and the Jockey company urgently produced the "masculine" series and sent it to shopping malls across the United States by plane, and in just three months, the briefs sold 300,000 pairs in the United States, and then because of other imitations, sales gradually declined.

Cui Wenqing didn't ask He Laohan to buy 300,000 pieces, but 3,000 pieces were still very possible, and a pair of pants earned an average of 40 pieces of pure profit, that is, 120,000 copper coins, which was more than enough to repay 50 taels of silver.
