Chapter 205: Adventure
The shopkeeper bowed down to look at the pattern, and exclaimed: "This ...... I haven't seen this in years! ”
"Really?" Du Mei only felt funny, this Jiangling City is also the capital anyway, how can this shopkeeper be so ignorant!
"If you are willing to give me the pattern, this piece of fabric will be given to you for nothing!" The shopkeeper was afraid that Du Mei would regret it, so he hurriedly took out the piece of clothing and tempted.
"I'm going to pick another one." Du Mei smiled and looked around.
"You can choose, and I'll give you the second one at half price, do you think it's okay?" The shopkeeper said flatteringly, and continued to lure each other with low prices.
He quickly calculated in his heart that if he got this trick, he would have a new business coming to his door, and then he could earn the money of the women of those wealthy families, anyway, as long as they were beautiful and unique, they didn't care how much it spent.
"Bring me that indigo dark striped plain satin." Du Mei pointed to a roll of fabric standing against the wall.
"The girl is really good eyesight, this is a new product from Yuhang, and she hasn't sold it yet." The shopkeeper moved the fabric to the shelf and pulled out a piece of it for Du Mei to see.
"Not bad." Du Mei touched it, and it was crisp and thick, suitable for making an autumn robe or jacket.
"Of course, this is the best clothing, I went to Yuhang to see it in person, not to say big words, I'm afraid the entire Jiangling City is only in my store." The shopkeeper looked at Du Mei, blinked his eyes, and said proudly.
"Alright then, you're cheaper." Du Mei took a fancy to these two pieces of clothing, and she thought that if she gave them to Chunya, she would definitely be happy.
"If you give me a pattern, the price of the clothing will be easy to say." Said slyly.
"Since you are so rare, I will draw it for you, it is nothing in our country, and it doesn't hurt to give it to you." Du Mei crouched on the high cabinet of the shopkeeper and traced the patterns in detail with his bookkeeping pen.
The shopkeeper couldn't help but be overjoyed, and quickly cut out two pieces of clothing, and gave another piece of furoshiki with red background and flowers, and wrapped the clothing. He thought that Du Mei would be able to bring him more tricks in the future, so the price was extremely low, and the two pieces only cost Du Mei 6 taels of silver.
"With a new trick, remember to come back." Du Mei and his party left, and the shopkeeper was still standing under the eaves and waving.
The stone naturally took over the burden, and the five girls giggled all the way, walking through the streets and alleys towards the market where the common people were doing small business.
There are all kinds of stalls in the market, noodle makers, steamed cakes, monkey tricks, Qingwu has never seen these, dazzling to see, can't wait to take root under his feet.
Du Mei bought some noodles, sugar gourds, steamed cakes and other food, and everyone picked their favorite food and took it, squeezed in front of the crowd, and ate and munched on it while watching the little monkey's funny performance.
Qingwu has never had such a careless life, when he was a child, in order to share the burden for his parents, he was trapped in the bookcase, and followed his husband to learn the way of management. When she was older, she was forced into the Chunxiang Pavilion when her family changed, and she became a canary with folded wings and locked up.
Today, Qingwu seemed to have suddenly stepped out of the cage, although it was short-lived, but she was full of joy. Maybe this was the only time she came out, and she had to keep her eyes wide for fear of missing the slightest hint of the fireworks.
The monkey charmer held the gong and asked the crowd of onlookers for alms, some of them turned red and slipped away, and Du Mei took out 10 copper coins, which were considered the assets of a group of them. The little monkey heard the crisp sound of the copper coin falling, and immediately shook it again and again, which was very cute.
After watching the excitement and eating the snacks, the group walked into Sanniang's shop in a circle.
The greased Sanniang was settling accounts with a sturdy man, and Du Mei passed by the man, smelling the wet sea breeze and the smell of salted dried fish.
Sanniang greeted them with her eyes, smiled and nodded at the peach and willow green, meaning that they would take care of themselves first.
"Boss, don't order the dried salted fish anymore?" The man asked in a whisper.
"Pull it down, the dried fish you sent last time made me stinky and couldn't get in, and most of the guests were scared away!" Sanniang rolled her eyes angrily.
"That'...... What about dried fish? The man snorted.
"Throw it away! At the beginning, I said okay, your things were consigned to me, and I got the money, and your stinky fish ruined several of my businesses, I didn't ask you for an account, and you still want to ask me for fish! Sanniang probably remembered the previous unhappiness, and shouted in an octave of voice.
"Since you threw it away, forget it, I still have some pearls here, do you think I can sell them on consignment?" The man was counted down by Sanniang, and suddenly stopped mentioning the dried fish, and took out something wrapped in a blue coarse cloth from his arms.
"For your color, you can grind pearl powder." Sanniang's fingertips smeared with Kodan smeared disdainfully swept over the pearls of various sizes.
"It's a serious sea pearl, much better than a normal pearl." The man seemed a little stubborn and continued to persuade.
"Oh, it's not that I don't want it, you see, where can you pick out how many decent big particles in these." Sanniang glanced at the man and sighed.
Dume heard them talking, and leaned over to look at the pearl with interest.
"How do you sell these tiny ones?" Du Mei picked up a round, shiny, red bean-sized pearl and asked.
"You want to buy these?" The man asked suspiciously. Doesn't the world like big things?
"Meizi, these worthless ones!" The corners of the pink Lala Dumé.
"Well, I'd like to buy some." Du Mei gave Peach a reassuring expression.
"Three hundred wen, it's all for you." The man cautiously quoted a price and looked at Du Mei with some disbelieving.
"Two hundred wen." Dume bargains.
"Two hundred and six." The man's eyes twinkled, as if pleading.
"Okay then." Dumay untied his purse and paid the bill. After receiving the pearls, she went to the shelves to find what she wanted.
The man left happily, and Sanniang's eyes stared at Du Mei's figure for a long time.
"Sanniang, do you still have the hand fat we bought last time?" Pink asked as she leaned on the counter.
"Yes, this is not just sent by Xiaobai." Sanniang bent down to take out a porcelain vase, and she asked in a low voice, "What is the origin of that girl?" ”
"Plums? She's a great person. "The original meaning of peach red means that Du Mei is more capable, but in the ears of the old and sophisticated Sanniang, it is a different understanding.
This can't be blamed on her, it's not uncommon for a little girl to go out with two girls, but with two other King Kong-like guards, it's completely different.
As for the question of why people with such a big show didn't buy things on the street and came to her store to buy them, she simply ignored them. Because, she never felt that her goods were worse than those sold on the street.
"I also bought ten bottles of hand fat at the price last time, and the proprietress can give me two more bottles." Du Mei chose something else novel. Komatsu has grown up and is tired of playing with the dolls at home, so it's time to buy him some new ones.
"Okay, you're lucky, the goods just delivered today, you pick them first." Sanniang casually moved all the hand fat from the warehouse on the ground to the counter and let them choose.
"This tastes good." Liu Lu came over, unscrewed the bottle, sniffed, and smelled the fragrance of osmanthus.
"That's all." Du Mei chose twelve bottles of seven, seven, eight, and eight.
"Miss Du, you're here too!" A voice of surprise.
Du Mei was settling the bill with the proprietress when she felt the light at the door dim, as if someone had walked in. Hearing this exclamation, Du Mei turned her head, the sunlight at the door was too dazzling, and she looked at it with her eyes.
"Xiaolian? How can it be you! Waiting to be recognized, Du Mei greeted him at once.
"It's really a coincidence, I came to buy something for the young lady, how did I know that I met you so coincidentally." Xiaolian was very happy and grabbed Du Mei's hand. Keep talking.
"Sister Fengxian, how are you doing?" Du Mei asked busily.
"Young lady...... Well, she's been talking about you a lot these days. Xiaolian paused and said.
"When I am busy with this and go back to Dujiagou, I will definitely go to Qinghe County to see her." Du Mei shook Xiaolian's hand.
"Girl, you have to talk." Xiaolian said as she chased after her with a serious face.
"When did I tell a lie?" Du Mei said with a smile.
"Hmm." Xiaolian was a little embarrassed by what Du Mei said, and couldn't help lowering her head in response.
Du Mei introduced Xiaolian to the others, and everyone gossiped affectionately for a while. Du Mei settled the account, still carrying the stone. They said goodbye to Xiaolian, and the seven of them went home.
"Meizi, what are you buying those pearls for? Those are really worthless! Walking on the road, Qingwu couldn't help it and asked.
"I saw that the beads, though they were of different sizes, were round and smooth, much more shiny than ordinary pearls, and they were a single rose gold pink." Du Mei responded to her with a light smile.
"What can these do?" Qingwu still frowned.
"What do you think of the sky blue dark pattern, I decided to change the moire decoration to pearl inlay?" Du Mei asked for her opinion.
"This ...... Too luxurious, isn't it? Qingwu asked in a daze, but she was very happy in her heart.
"Don't worry, it's not expensive, and it's only more than two hundred wen for all." Doumela her hand, she seemed to prefer to dance lightly to win, so that she could suffer less.
Back at Luomei Xuan, the skirt was really done, and when the embroidery lady saw them coming back, she immediately sent the clothes in.
The pearls were all made in advance, and Qingwu poured them into a small plaque to help find the similar beads, while Du Mei used the thread as the pen and the beads as the ink to draw a graceful curve, and embroidered a circle of pearls on the cuffs.
Du Mei cut a belt of the same color, and embroidered pearls of all sizes on the belt, which was a delicate work, and by the evening her eyes were sore and her neck was stiff, but at last she had finished the work perfectly.
"Can I try it?" The more I looked at it, the more I liked it, and said softly.
"Hmm." Du Mei pinched his neck with his backhand and answered.
Peach and Willow Green came to invite them to dinner, and heard that Du Mei said that Qingwu was trying on clothes again, so they didn't eat anymore, and just stood and waited for her to come out to see.
The daylight was fading, the night was getting up, the room was hazy, and the light dancer who had changed into new clothes pushed the door out.
