Chapter 34 Buying Silk

At this time, the carriage entered the back door of a compound, and the head uncle got out of the car first, and dreamed that all of them followed, and the guards in the compound were all busy, and the head uncle asked Mengjuan to arrange for them to rest first, and then eat, and he himself went to the front shop.

After eating, I dreamed of asking about the Jilin Bureau, the head of the uncle said that the Jilin Bureau is in the East Bureau, the place is very large, the management is very strict, the gate and the high wall are guarded by officers and soldiers, outsiders can't enter at all, the craftsmen of the Jilin Bureau are rarely out, there are very few people who know the situation inside, but the place is now very lively, it is already the place with the most shops and people in Jilin Province, if you want to go tomorrow, he will send a young man to lead the way.

After a night of nothing, she got up in the morning and punched a dragon, and Mengjuan took Mengqi to the small church to see a doctor; Mengqi is not sick at all, and Dr. Yang, a missionary from the country, can't see anything, Mengjuan sent Mengqi out of the church to let Mengqi not run around, be sure to pay attention to safety, and also waited outside the door Menggong and the guards to tell them well, and then go back to the small church, where she will live and study.

When the dream came out, I first told the young man from the Toubo faction to let him take it to the East Bureau to have a look. A group of people went to the East Bureau while strolling around, into a lot of small shops, in one of the garment shops, there are a lot of ready-to-wear coarse silk, dreaming of staying in front of a white dark silk for a while, a flash of inspiration, you can use silk to weave a fishing net, that should be the best fishing net now, dry after use, but it may also be the most expensive fishing net, but it is definitely worth hitting more fish; At this time, a fellow came over and asked, "This young master, do you want this silk?"

Dream came back to his senses and asked: "Is your boss here, I want to buy some silk, do you have it?" The guy listened and thought to himself, boss? You mean we're in charge, silk? We only have silk here, I haven't heard of silk, no matter what I took him to find the shopkeeper, I thought about it and said: Master, please take a sip of tea with the little one in the room, and I will go and ask our shopkeeper to come over.

After dreaming of it, I saw that the guy didn't speak for a long time, and I thought he didn't understand, I just wanted to ask again, and after listening to the guy, I said in my heart, yes, I don't call the boss the shopkeeper these years, and I have to pay attention to it in the future, and then I went to the inner room with the guy; After the shopkeeper came, Mengqi said that he wanted to buy silk.

The shopkeeper said: We don't have silk, young master, the silk you said should be raw silk, the raw silk branch reeling is called factory silk, and the hand-reeling is called soil silk, young master, do you want factory silk or soil silk, if you want it, we can buy it for you; After listening to the dream, I thought to myself, I can learn new knowledge when I buy silk, no wonder the silk industry in the Qing Dynasty is the most developed! Dream said: If you want factory silk, how long will it take for the purchasing agent to arrive? How much silver?

The shopkeeper replied: Now the outbound price of Yingkou is more than 280 taels of silver 1 quintal, and the small shop adds 10 taels of 1 quintal, and the order can be ordered round trip for 20 years. Lent? It's the end of the month, every 10 days and 20 days, so it's going to take such a long time! Also, there are no cars and trains in these years, all on foot to catch the carriage, it must be slow, forget it anyway, I'm not in a hurry to use it now, so I can use it after 20 days.

After thinking about it in my heart, I said: Yes, I want two burdens. Anyway, he doesn't know how much a load is? The silk is fine, so order an extra load, save time is not enough, if there is more sooner or later you can use it, and then he asked the little girl to pay the silver ticket, let the little guy tell the shopkeeper the address there, the goods arrived notice to pick up, and everyone left after they finished.

Came out and walked for a while, the current variety of goods is really scarce, the dream is not interested, let the young man take him directly to the gate of the Jilin Bureau to see, on the way to see the Jilin Bureau of tall earth wall, from time to time there are guards swaying, there is a big chimney in the wall spitting black smoke.

At this time, he remembered his grandfather Meng Yi, he heard his father say, his grandfather was in the Jilin Machinery Bureau when it was first established, and he didn't know what his old man was like now, it must be not easy to be an apprentice when he first entered the industry, and now he should be a craftsman, how can he get in touch with his old man? It's best to take his old man out and enjoy it, at least we have money now.

But it doesn't seem to be easy to find, so what can I say if I find it? Will it change his old man's life?,If it changes, I can still have the past.,It's probably impossible.,Forget it.,If there's a chance to meet in the future.,If there's a chance to find it.。

After thinking about it, I have walked to the vicinity of the gate, and I dreamed of seeing the suspension bridge of the Jilin Bureau hanging high, the gate was closed, and the small side door next to it was guarded, and there was basically no one in front of the door. There were a lot of shops here, which were better than those on the road, so he walked and looked at them, walking slowly all the way.

Walking and walking, the dream stopped in front of a shop, the opposite side of the shop is a large open space, there are four or five storey high round iron barrels, there are dozens of barrels, next to a pile of falling green bricks and green tiles and thick and thin logs, a lot of idle men in a group of two or three people, four or five people gather on the side of the road to chat, much like the modern roadside laborers, there are some simple tools scattered around, the dream thinks, this shop should be selling building materials, turn to look at the shop, there is a plaque on the door: Deji foreign line.

There are not many shops with plaques along the way, and this is the first foreign shop, that is to say, this may be a shop with a foreign background, he asked the guards to wait at the door, and led the young man Menggong Mengke in; There are not many goods on the front desk in the shop, the left side of the desk puts the brush abacus account book and other things, the back sits an old man, the right side of a carved square table six round stools, there are no guests inside.

At this time, a guy hurriedly greeted him and said: Young master, please inside, what do you need?

Mengqi didn't answer the guy's question, and walked directly to the opposite desk to look, there were copper-framed glasses, copper pocket watches, large smoking guns, cigarette lamps, snuff bottles, etc.; He picked up the pocket watch, opened the lid, looked at it, and asked, "How do you sell this watch?" The man on the side immediately said: At least 20 taels of silver a piece, if it is 30 silver dollars; Mengqi doesn't know much about the current money, so he doesn't know if it's expensive or not, and he doesn't ask, anyway, he needs to have a watch, and he also buys a piece for Uncle Tou, Uncle Mo, and Uncle Shen Feng, which is also convenient to use.

Mengqi looked at the pocket watch in his hand again and asked, "How many pieces do you have?" The man replied that there were six pieces; I thought about it for a while and said: I want all six pieces; When the guy heard this, he quickly nodded and said okay, let them wait a while......
