Xie Jingyi's shop, called Da Cloth Fang, is a gold signboard set up by her grandfather.

Although the Zhai family is married, he is still named all his cloth shops after his mother's light, and they all name all their cloth shops Da Cloth Fang.

Master Zhai started from scratch back then, and with an iron head, he squeezed out a piece of the sky in the many weaving mills and cloth mills in Hangzhou, which is also a legend.

The big shopkeeper in the shop is called Yao Xing, a middle-aged man in his forties, short and chubby, looking like the Fuwa on the New Year's painting has wrinkles, which is very pleasing.

Xie Jingyi is not the first time to come, Yao Xing also recognized her, seeing her asking, he hurriedly said, "It's also a strange thing, as early as last month, the shop opposite was taken down, and I didn't know what to do at first, but last afternoon, the plaque was hung up." The little one went to inquire and said that it was from the Qi State Mansion, and he planned to report to the owner early in the morning, but he didn't want you to come. ”

Xie Jingyi raised his head, and he was even more angry.

Good guy, her shop is called Da Cloth Fang, and Chai Youchen's shop is called Tianbu Fang, which is clearly to press her!

She thought, taking a deep breath and frowning.

In her last life, she walked in the palace, when Chai Youchen was already in a high position and often entered the palace, although the two had met each other, they did not have a grudge.

Not to mention in this life, I only met for the first time yesterday.

What kind of grudge is that, so that he is eyeing such a small shop?

Yao Xing saw that Xie Jingyi was displeased, and smiled, "Don't take it to heart, this shop is not necessarily a good thing." You look at our Xingnan Street, it is a small face, where is that arrogant and brilliant. What we sell is coarse cloth, and those who come to buy cloth are all people who pick their feet like Xiaoren......"

"Looking at the big gate, my eyes were flustered, my legs were weak, and the copper in my pocket was so big that I didn't dare to go in! The sky is high and I don't dare to look at it, our people like it big, the cooking cake is bigger, the cloth is bigger, even if you buy shoes, you can't wait to get a big one, Feibu earns a wow......"

Yao Xing said that the clouds were light and the wind was light, and Xie Jingyi's heart set off turbulent waves.

stared at the top of the shopkeeper Yao for a long time, but he didn't expect that in this small shop on Xingnan Street, there was a sweeping monk with long hair!

"With Shopkeeper Yao here, I don't have to worry about business. I'm just worried that I've accidentally offended some big guy. Xie Jingyi smiled faintly, as a newly appointed owner, she couldn't let people see any weakness.

Shopkeeper Yao thought so, otherwise he wouldn't have thought about reporting.

"It's snowing outside, so let's have a cup of hot tea first, and the little one will go get the account book."

Xie Jingyi nodded, there were several guests in the shop at this moment, and it was quite inappropriate for her to stand at the door and speak, so she followed Yao Xing to the back.

The shop on Xingnan Street is not big in front, but the diameter is deep and long, and the yard is not small. The row of houses in the back is the residence of the treasury and Yao Xing's family.

"The account books are no longer needed, and when the year is over, they will be sent to the house together. I'm here today, just to take a look at random, and there are some things I want to ask Shopkeeper Yao. ”

Shopkeeper Yao smiled, his fleshy face huddled together, "You can ask whatever the young owner wants." Since my father, I have been doing things for the Zhai family, and when my wife got married, I became a companion again. When Mrs. first took over the shop, she was one year younger than the young owner. ”

While speaking, a little lady in a blue cloth shirt stepped forward and made a bowl of tea for Xie Jingyi, with a pair of big eyes, peeking at Xie Jingyi curiously.

Shopkeeper Yao saw that she was unstable and glared at her, and the little lady left in a panic.

"There is only such a little girl, called Yao Yuanniang, who is so spoiled that she has lost her manners, and she has called the young owner to see the joke."

Xie Jingyi understood, picked up the teacup and took a sip, "It's okay." Can Yao's shopkeeper know the clamp? ”

Shopkeeper Yao was stunned for a moment, and glanced at Xie Jingyi seriously, "I know it, but since the Taizong Dynasty, it is forbidden to make flower boards privately." Although the control is now relaxed, in Luoyang and other places, some people make valerian dyeing silk, and I was fortunate to see it when I was a shopkeeper in Xingnan Street before. ”

"After a few dynasties, there are very few craftsmen who can make flower boards. Moreover, today's nobles love brocade weaving, not to mention the fine color, and it is not easy to crack; No matter how bad it is, there are a lot of embroidery girls with superb memories in our two Zhejiang Road areas, embroidering a one-year scene, isn't it more gorgeous? ”

"Nobles don't like to wear the same clothes, no matter how good the flower board is, it is inevitably rigid, and the color is only separated by shades, not to mention dyed valerian. Occasionally, it is okay to wear a fresh one, and the rest of the time, it is more popular to make curtains or weave cloth. ”

"Over time, there are fewer and fewer people dyeing cloth with valerian. And if one is not dyed well, a good piece of silk will be wasted...... Shao Dong suddenly asked this, do you want to do clamping? ”

Xie Jingyi looked at Yao's shopkeeper, and became more and more surprised, with his ability, it was too aggrieved to nest in such a small shop selling cloth on Xingnan Street.

Shopkeeper Yao seemed to see Xie Jingyi's thoughts, and said embarrassedly, "I'm just picking up people's teeth, my father used to be the big shopkeeper of the big cloth workshop, and I went to school with him." Later, he became a parent, and his inner son did not come out for many years, and finally gave birth to a daughter...... My family forced me to stop marrying another wife, and I couldn't bear it...... He married his wife. It was also on Zheng Nan Street before...... The round lady is older, I want to recruit a son-in-law, so I asked for my life to come to Xingnan Street, looking for an honest descendant. ”

After Shopkeeper Yao finished speaking, he felt speechless, how old is Xie Jingyi, where would he like to listen to this.

But he saw that the young owner's family was kind, and he unconsciously said it all like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

"It's a small gaffe. The little one has only heard of it, and has never done valerian dyeing. If you want to do it, you have to find a flower board first, Mrs. has a dyeing workshop, not far from here, there is a master Li in it, the craftsmanship is very good, take the flower board for him to try, should be able to do it. ”

"But a little courage, the valerian cloth is not very cost-effective...... Our big cloth mill is also a small profit but quick turnover, not a noble business. ”

After hearing this, Xie Jingyi immediately smiled comfortably.

She originally thought about where to find a caring shopkeeper, after all, the shop on Xingnan Street would be made bigger by her sooner or later. Although it is good to make money, she will want the Xie family in Hangzhou in the future, and trample the Xie family of the Marquis of Yongping in the capital, how can she only be a merchant?

First of all, Shopkeeper Yao is a good candidate. Affectionate and righteous, people are down-to-earth.

"I want to dye valerian, but we don't dye silk, we dye coarse cloth. What do you think? ”
