Although the shopkeeper wondered why the price given by Yu Lao was so high, he still didn't ask much out of his own attitude, and silently went to the warehouse to take out the scale leak.

A scale leak is a special type of leakage that measures time by weighing the weight change of the water flowing into the receiving kettle.

Invented by a Taoist priest 500 years ago, this weighing tool is rumored to have been designed for alchemy, and it quickly spread because of its ease of making and sensitive time measurement. It is the one with the most civilian timers now.

Weighing, warehousing, and checkout, the shopkeeper handled it very well. After holding the 100 copper coins that had just arrived, and hugging his fists with the shopkeeper and Yu Lao, Zhang Guangyi walked out of the Lechuan Building, and it was time to add a few clothes to himself.

After Zhang Guangyi and the shopkeeper went out, Yu Lao stood for a while before lying back on the chair.

"It seems that there is another young and promising swordsman in Hongyang County, I don't know if Young Master Yu will make friends with him after knowing this person."

……

Hongzhifang, is a very ordinary cloth shop, the owner is a middle-aged man over 30 years old, this shop not only sells cloth, but also sells clothes, because the price is cheap and affordable, it is the favorite place for ordinary people.

When Zhang Guangyi stepped into the Red Knowledge Square, there were one or two women in the shop selecting fabrics.

The shopkeeper handed the cloth to the two of them at the counter. Seeing Zhang Guangyi, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Guest officer, you can take a look at it at random first, and let me deal with the things that these two guests want to buy first." ”

"Okay."

Nodding, Zhang Guangyi walked around the store.

Unlike modern clothing stores, there are very few finished clothes in this place, and the clothes that are bought are first measured by craftsmen, and then sewn little by little from cloth, which is simply handmade.

Most of the shops are cloth, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, all kinds of colors, and the colors are very bright, and I don't know how this world does it.

There are only three finished products in the store, all of which are ordinary gray coarse cloth trench coats, all of which are wide in style, and the price marked on them is only a dozen yuan, and at a glance you know that they are worn by people who do manual work such as porters.

"Guest officer, I don't know if you want to pick cloth or make clothes?"

After finishing the two guests, the shopkeeper came to Zhang Guangyi, not caring at all about the holes in Zhang Guangyi's clothes and the blood on his pants. After living for more than 30 years, some people still have experience.

Zhang Guangyi didn't bother to speak, and directly said his intention. "Boss, I want to make a few sets of clothes."

"Okay, what color and what material of cloth do you need to make clothes?"

While speaking, the shopkeeper returned to the counter, took a rope, and came to Zhang Guangyi again.

"The usual clothes are the same gray and black ones, medium cloth will do, and then a trench coat of inferior cloth will do."

Because of the reason that he often practices martial arts, Zhang Guangyi prefers gray and black clothes, the color of these two clothes is darker, and they are more resistant to dirt than other colors of clothes.

The shopkeeper took the rope to Zhang Guangyi for a while, measured his height and waist circumference, and recorded these in an account book, the shopkeeper asked Zhang Guangyi's name again, and after recording it together, he picked up the abacus on the counter and calculated it cracklingly.

Abacus, also known as the Abacus, is a simple calculation tool, the abacus originated in the Shang Dynasty, has a history of more than 1,000 years, he has his own set of calculation formulas, catchy, very simple, is the most common on the Hongyu continent, but also the most popular algorithm.

"It's more than seven feet tall, and it needs fabric ......."

Every time he said a word, the shopkeeper pulled out the abacus, which of course let the customer know that the store did not deceive the customer, and that all the money was converted according to materials and labor.

"It's a total of sixty-two yuan, and the guest officer can pay a deposit of ten yuan first, and he can come to pick up the clothes after three days."

"Okay, give."

took out the money bag, took out ten cents from it and handed it to the shopkeeper, and after finishing it, Zhang Guangyi walked out of the store and prepared to go home.

"Zhang boy, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Just when Zhang Guangyi walked out of Hongzhifang and stepped into an alley, he was about to take a shortcut home, but two lean men blocked Zhang Guangyi's way one after the other.

Looking at the two people blocking the road, Zhang Guangyi frowned slightly, "Extent? Cheng Qiusheng? What are you doing here? ”

It was none other than Cheng Qiusheng and the two brothers who stopped Zhang Guangyi. said that the two brothers had just received money from a shopkeeper next to Hongzhifang, and they happened to see Zhang Guangyi who had entered Hongzhifang.

Cheng Qiusheng and the two brothers glanced at each other, both smiling, Cheng Qiusheng said to Zhang Guangyi: "What are you doing?" Collect money, of course! ”

Zhang Guangyi is no stranger to the two brothers Cheng Qiusheng, not only knows the names of the two brothers, but also knows that they are pickpockets of the Red Wolf Gang.

For more than a month, Zhang Guangyi has seen the two brothers no less than ten times, and every time he sees each other, he collects protection money from other stalls.

Of course, Zhang Jin's butcher shop stall is no exception, and he has also been taken care of by Cheng Qiusheng's two brothers, and every seven days, they will come to the butcher stall to collect a few copper coins.

At first, Zhang Guangyi was very strange, why in addition to the money handed over to the county government to set up a stall, he had to give money to others every seven days.

Although these few pennies are nothing to Zhang Jin, this matter still makes him wonder. It wasn't until Zhang Jin said how powerful it was that he suddenly realized. It was also at that time that he learned the other identities of Cheng Qiusheng's two brothers.

Hearing that the two brothers were here to collect money, Zhang Guangyi couldn't help frowning.

"Money? Didn't it already give it two days ago? And isn't the money supposed to be paid by the shopkeeper? ”

"That's right, you did pay the fee for the butcher shop two days ago, but."

Cheng Qiusheng slowly approached Zhang Guangyi, and suddenly pointed at Zhang Guangyi and said, "The target of our charge this time is you!" ”

"Me?"

Zhang Guangyi pointed at himself in amazement and looked at the other party puzzled.

"That's right, it's you."

Cheng Qiusheng squinted at Zhang Guangyi, "From today on, you shopkeepers will also have to charge, just like your shopkeeper, you have to pay a fee every seven days, but you can rest assured, you only need to pay three cents each time." ”

"Sanwen?"

Zhang Guangyi's brows furrowed, and his right hand couldn't help but clench the hilt of the sword at his waist. Sanwen money is nothing to him, with his current income, even if he gives Sanwen money every day, he will not frown, but he doesn't like to be threatened by others so much, and give others money for no reason.

ps: Just arrived home, a little too much so this water is a little bit, night code words.
