After handing over the telescope, Qin Baichuan could be regarded as letting go of the burden of owing the righteous king, and he also talked very openly with Tan Jiaotou, and there was less hostility towards him in his heart. In the first month of Da Song, there is a tradition of wearing new clothes and new shoes, and the Lantern Festival has passed, most of the shops in Jinyifang have been opened, and men and women shuttle back and forth in the street, but there is a prosperous scene.

Because of the relationship between him once before, Qin Baichuan led the way in front, and after a while, he saw the signboard of the century-old shoe store, Qin Baichuan pushed the door in, and there were many guests crowded inside, Qin Baichuan's eyes swept, and a maid suddenly screamed, and then put down the shoes in his hand, threw aside the guests who were being entertained, and trotted towards Qin Baichuan. Do you want to buy another pair of shoes today? ”

Qin Baichuan smiled, this maid is the one who sold it to him last time, more than six hundred taels of silver, I think the little maid also got a lot of taps, otherwise she would never be so enthusiastic about herself. Qin Baichuan looked down, Qu Xi had prepared too many clothes and shoes for him, and he usually couldn't wear them at all, but he didn't need them. But...... Qin Baichuan smiled and said, "This time I didn't come here to buy, but to ask your master to make it." ”

"Yes, yes, our century-old store, no matter what kind of shoes you want, you can make them." The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up, and the requirements for custom-made shoes are generally very high, and it seems that this time she can make a small profit: "I don't know what kind of materials your guests choose?" This time, we have a leopard with a pattern in our store, which has a soft texture and is the most suitable for your identity. ”

"I don't wear shoes, I ask, what material is strong and durable, and relatively cheap?" Qin Baichuan said with a smile.

"It's cheap...... a look of loss flashed between the little girl's eyebrows, this distinguished guest is estimated to be able to spend a lot of money for a woman, but if she wears it herself, she chooses practicality. Seeing that the purpose of earning some points has the meaning of making a soup, the little girl secretly regrets in her heart, it is better to continue to accompany the guest just now, maybe she can complete an order of ten taels of silver. With a thick sense of loss on her face, the little maid didn't dare to offend Qin Baichuan, and sighed: "Sir, if you don't consider the softness, the strongest shoes are buffalo leather, and then with a mille-feuille bottom, add a wooden board underneath, generally speaking, it is no problem to wear it for three or five years." ”

Qin Baichuan nodded, he asked the tailor master when he was sewing camouflage clothes, and the tailor master recommended buffalo leather, Qin Baichuan nodded slightly: "How much silver does it cost to order a pair of buffalo leather shoes?" ”

"Distinguished guests, in addition to straw sandals and cloth shoes, buffalo leather is very common, and our store starts with at least ten taels of silver, and the price of buffalo shoes is the lowest, and the open price is only two taels of silver." The little maid pointed to a few pairs of earthy yellow shoes piled up in the corner, and said, "Well, there it is, if you like me, I will give you a twenty-percent discount within the scope of my authority, how big are your feet?" ”

This little girl made the mistake of disliking the poor and loving the rich again, Qin Baichuan smiled: "Eight folds, a little expensive......"

"It's expensive!" The little girl was so depressed, he didn't spend more than six hundred taels last time he was not so verbose, what's wrong with today?

"Judging from a single pair of shoes, it's not expensive, but I want a thousand pairs, do you say it's expensive?" Qin Baichuan said with his arms crossed.

"Ahh The little maid exclaimed, as if she was a little frightened, and her lips trembled a little: "Sir...... You said...... You said...... How much? A thousand pairs? Oh my God, are you done? ”

"You little girl is very interesting, my husband wants a thousand pairs is a thousand pairs, do you care if he wears it or not?" Tan Jiaotou stood behind Qin Baichuan, slightly displeased: "With such a large order, you can't be the master even if you want to come here, so ask your shopkeeper to come out!" ”

"Ah, the distinguished guest is angry, and the anger ......" The little maid saw that Qin Baichuan was not joking, she was happy and regretful in her heart, happy that her inference was not wrong, and it was really another big deal, and she regretted that her attitude just now was somewhat contemptuous, if she offended this God of Wealth, it would be worth the loss. The little maid bit her lip and began to save her image in the other party's heart: "You don't know, our shopkeeper is very busy on weekdays, and we can't see anyone...... Why don't you take a thousand pairs as the boundary and give you a seven-fold discount? ”

"Seven folds...... It's still expensive. Qin Baichuan thought about it a little, seven folds is one or two four, and it is more than 1,400 taels of silver to say that it is not much, but it is definitely a lot to say less, he shook his head and said: "I won't hide it from you, 1,000 pairs is just a preliminary order, if the quality of the shoes is passed, I may add two or three thousand pairs later." ”

Qin Baichuan is not fooling the little girl, after all, shoes are consumer goods, and under the high-intensity training of the Bliss Army, shoes have to be changed once every three months at most.

"Distinguished guest, this is not the first time you have come here, you can rest assured of the quality of the shoes in our shoe store." The little maid was a little embarrassed and said, "It's not that I deliberately embarrassed you, it's just that my shopkeeper never sees people easily......"

"An order for a thousand pairs of shoes, and your shopkeeper can't look down on it? It's okay, then you go to pass it on, just say that the order is an order, this time when I came over, a friend asked me to bring apricot blossom brew that has been sealed for nearly 20 years, if you don't want the shopkeeper, then I will fall at the door. "Old Man Chu said when he came, as long as the apricot blossom brew is reported, then Brother Wu will definitely greet him with a smile, so Qin Baichuan seems very sure.

"Apricot blossom stuffed ...... But the fine wine brewed by the old man of the Chu family in Jiangling? Hearing the three words of apricot blossom brewing, the little girl's face changed greatly, and when Qin Baichuan nodded, she changed her previous prevarication, and hurriedly said: "Distinguished guest, please wait a moment, I will go to pass it on!" ”

The maid twisted her little buttocks and ran out of the back door, Tan Jiaotou was puzzled: "Sir...... How can this apricot blossom brew have such magic? ”

"For wine lovers, apricot blossom brewing is indeed the best." The little maid's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Qin Baichuan, and he said to himself, "Why do I think this thing is a little strange? Old Man Chu is indeed a little famous in Jiangling, but no matter how famous the apricot blossom brew is, it won't reach the ears of the little girl, right? ”

"Who knows, maybe that little maid is also a lover of wine." Tan Jiaotou found an excuse that he didn't believe in.

Qin Baichuan waited in the store for a while, then heard the back door hurriedly, an old man who seemed to be about fifty, with gray hair and a slight hunchback, rushed in quickly, the old man was in a hurry, and accidentally bumped into a row of shelves, and the shoes were scattered all over the ground, he didn't even care about it, and said loudly: "The little old man is Brother Wu, who, who is looking for me?" ”

"Old man Wu." The identity of the old man could be determined from the little maid who followed behind him, Qin Baichuan took a step forward and said with his fists clenched.

"I don't know you." Old Man Wu shook his head and waved his hand, perhaps because of the relationship between making shoes all year round, his hands were very boring, like cracked bark, he glanced at Qin Baichuan indifferently, and said anxiously: "Apricot blossom brewing, where is apricot blossom brewing?" Boy, I can tell you, a thousand pairs of buffalo leather shoes are a big order, but without apricot blossom stuffing, this business is not to be discussed! ”

"Since there is something to ask for, how can you make a false shot?" This old man is really addicted to alcohol, Qin Baichuan glanced back at Tan Jiaotou, Tan Jiaotou strode out of the store, and after a short time, he went back with a jar of wine.

Old Man Wu took the wine jar, slapped open the mud seal, held the wine jar and drank a few big sips regardless of the image, and finally let out a hearty roar and laughed: "Happy, happy!" Sure enough, it is the apricot blossom brew that Chu Lao has been sealed for many years! Little brother, aren't there three altars? Where are the other two altars? You bring it to the little old man, and a thousand pairs of shoes will charge you the cost price, a thousand taels of silver! ”

"Thanks to Mr. Wu's care, you also said that orders are trivial matters, and I came here this time because he begged for something." Qin Baichuan's attitude was very low: "At the suggestion of the old man Chu of the Chu family workshop, I want to ask the old man Wu to take me to Qingshui Town to find your second brother, Wu Erya and Wu senior." ”

"Looking for my second brother?" Old Man Wu's face changed slightly, and he snorted: "I'll just say, send me wine to drink, Chu Lao Naughty didn't have such kindness!" Little brother, you are just the messenger, and the little old man will not embarrass you, three jars of wine will be left, and a thousand pairs of cowhide shoes will be delivered to you within half a month, let's go! ”

"Wait!" This old man Wu already had the intention of sending off guests, and Qin Baichuan hurriedly stopped him.

"What? 1,000 pairs of shoes for three jars of wine are you still not satisfied? Old Man Wu was a little unhappy: "You must know that the wine brewed by Chu Lao's stubbornness is delicious, but it is not a kind of elixir!" Three jars of wine are worth 1,000 taels, which is already a sky-high price! ”

"The sky-high price is certainly a sky-high price, but do you think that whether it is Old Man Chu or I, Qin Baichuan, will care about this thousand taels of silver?" Qin Baichuan shook his head: "These three jars of wine are a meeting gift for Old Man Wu, and Qin's appeal is also simple, that is, he wants to meet the second child of the Wu family." ”

"Wow!"

Qin Baichuan's self-reported home didn't matter, and a small commotion broke out in the old store. If you want to ask who is the most famous in this great song, some people will say the emperor, and some people may say the righteous king, but if you want to ask who is the most popular in this Jiangling, there is no doubt that he is Qin Baichuan! The minister of Splendid Villa, the speaker of Wangjiang Tower, and the chief master of Qingfeng Academy, which one is enough for people to talk about it for three days and three nights!

The most frightened thing in the crowd is the little maid, Qin Baichuan's name has long been like thunder, and now the popular legend of the White Lady in Jiangling is from his handwriting, a love that has passed through thousands of years, these maids who have not gone out like such an earth-shattering love story, although the little maid has never seen Qin Baichuan, but he has long regarded him as an idol! Ciao, thinking of her performance in front of her idol, the little girl was angry and annoyed, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into!

"Your Excellency is Qin Baichuan who is spreading all over Jiangling?" Old Man Wu was also stunned.

"It's like a fake." Qin Baichuan said calmly.
