Chapter 13: Prosperous Streets
"Yo Yo Yo, I haven't finished my marriage yet, I thought I was married, so I'll start protecting it now! Hey! ā
The wrinkles on the eldest lady's face have stretched a lot at this moment, and the clouds of being bullied by Liu Yue have not dispersed recently, and this time she has come out to get rid of the shadow in her heart, and she looks very happy!
"Auntie...."
Yun Niang's face was flushed, tears were rolling in her eyes, and she seemed to be about to cry!
"Girl, don't cry, my aunt is joking with you!"
After speaking, the eldest lady took Yun Niang's hand and rubbed it, comforting!
The speed of the carriage is fast enough, and it looks like it takes more than an hour to come to Mengdian City (Yanggu County), and the uncle's Goolan tile city is in the west side of the city, which is also half a prosperous street, covering an area of no less than dozens of acres!
The pavilion and corridor of the Grand View Garden built inside cost a lot of savings, and if it weren't for the fact that the uncle had done a good job in this business, he wouldn't have been able to earn this money. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The carriage stopped at the gate of Goolan Wa City, and the uncle jumped out of the carriage and wiped the money in his cloth pocket, looked at the coachman and asked, "How much?" Coachman! ā
"Give me a penny!"
"So expensive!"
"Master, don't look at how far Liujia Village is from the county seat, this money is not enough for my horse to eat forage!"
The coachman obviously has a bit of a taste of sitting on the ground.
This improved version of the carriage from the Eastern Han Dynasty has become an important means of transportation for some of the goods!
The uncle reasoned with him without any result, but he obediently threw a bunch of money to the coachman, and the coachman also helped them carry the materials, and he didn't forget to explain it when he turned around: "The villain also has a house in Mengdian City, and the old man can call me at any time if he is useful!" ā
When the coachman walked away, Liu Yi took two sips: "Pickled and splashed!" ā
When I entered Goolan Tile City, I found that the scale of the uncle was obviously not small, with two theater pavilions and a book pavilion!
However, whether it is a theater pavilion or a book pavilion, it seems that it is not as good as the modern general has a big table, but it is a bit like the furnishings in the cross talk field, a low and small table is placed on the table, and below is a long wooden stool, which can be used for more than a dozen people to sit together.
The front and back are about a few tens of meters away, but there are a few benches in the front row, and the back is empty.
On the top of the tile market is a pergola made of cattails, if it is a rain leak or not, it is certain, but it can withstand the hot sun!
In Liu Ming's opinion, there is a style of country food stalls!
This is already a very high-level existence in Mengdian City! At least in this decade.
Came to a row of blue-tiled brick houses behind Goolan Tile City, which were for the technicians and calligraphers in the previous class, and now they are all empty!
"Nephew, there are a lot of houses here, you and Yun Niang can choose a few, get the key from your aunt, these days I will first contact my old friends to see if they can support me to re-operate Goolan Tile City, you alone is still not enough!"
After the uncle finished speaking, he left, and he was going to contact his former friends, that is, those craftsmen and calligraphers, to see if they could come back to help him again!
Liu Ming chose a sun room to the south, the light here seems to be better, and the low green tile house will not look dim!
Yun Niang was close to Liu Ming's room, and the baggage was carried to the room by Liu Ming, what bronze mirrors, sweat towels, bedding, curtains, and cloth tents..... It's almost time to move everything in her hometown Liujia Village!
"Little official, otherwise, I'll accompany you to buy some bedding and other things while it's still early!"
Yun Niang came to Liu Ming's house only to find that there was nothing here, except for the bare wooden bed being placed in the house, there was nothing, and she couldn't help but look at Liu Ming with a smile.
"Well, I think so too! It just so happens that I have some broken silver here, so come with me!" ā
Liu Ming didn't shirk either, he originally planned to go out shopping secretly by himself, and by the way, he took a look at Pan Jinlian's little lady, but now he is not familiar with the place here, and he doesn't know that he needs to buy those things, so he has to let Yun Niang accompany him and let her watch and buy some things for herself!
When the two came to Mengdian City Street, they found that the prosperity here was beyond imagination, and the shops along the street were crowded with people.
A variety of banners and doors highlight the name of each shop.
Liu's cooked butcher shop, Zhang's three don't bully satin shop, Li Ji pharmacy.......
These vivid names with the atmosphere of the times dangle in front of Liu Ming's eyes!
The Song people mainly added their surnames in front of them to distinguish them from others, to show their existence!
"Little official, let's go to the suede shop, I'll buy you a set of velvet noodles and stitch them with the cotton I brought to make a simple futon!"
"Well, let's go!"
For example, Liu Ming and Yun Niang entered this shop by purchasing silk and cotton and linen fabrics and then sewing them simply, leaving a small mouth and being able to fill cotton freely, which became a bestseller in Mengdian City!
The craftsmanship here still comes from Bianliang, which has an unusually developed economy!
There is almost an all-encompassing existence, equivalent to the total export of culture, including technology!
The shopkeeper saw the two of them coming in and came over very enthusiastically: "What do you want to buy?" ā
"Hehe, I'll take a look first!"
The boss suddenly became interested and touched a silk fabric to Liu Ming and introduced: "This is a high-grade real silk satin fabric from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which feels very silky and smooth, and is the best choice to choose a happy quilt!" The price is fair, and each set is only sold for one penny! ā
It's fair to hang the money, it's really a pit!
A piece of silk sells for 700 Wen, and a piece of silk is how much fabric is it! Nearly 33.3 meters of satin is sold at this price, and the fabric of this quilt cover will not exceed three taels at most, which shows that this boss has added a lot of money to his handwork!
"Little official! Let's go! ā
Yun Niang almost couldn't sit still when she heard that price! How can you still have the heart to continue buying, it's ridiculously expensive!
"Hey, don't go, guest officer, if this is expensive, you can see a cotton cloth for only 150 sets!"
"It's too expensive! 50ļ¼ ā
Liu Ming directly bargained to the end, and the Song people were also bullied!
ā100ļ¼ Couldn't be less! What do you think! Sir! ā
"Wrap it up! Buy a set! ā
The boss and his wife neatly wrapped Liu Ming, and when they handed it to Liu Ming, they couldn't stop shaking their heads: "Guest officer, it won't make money to sell it to you this time!" ā
"Then I owe you a personal favor, and introduce you to some new customers next time!"
Liu Ming won't add half a penny to him now, at most, he will make him emotionally happy!
Leaving the silk shop, it was almost noon, and there was probably nothing to eat in Vashene, and his stomach was gurgling!
"Yun Niang is hungry!"
"Sort of!"
"Let's go! Xianggong invites you to a big meal! ā
With the five, two, or six hundred dollars in his pocket, Liu Ming is naturally a little rich! I haven't had a banquet here yet! It's hard to get out of a trip today, and you have to treat your stomach well!
