Tongfu Inn.

This is the largest inn in Ruyang City, divided into upper, middle and lower third-class rooms, when they went, there were only two medium-sized rooms left, and the price for a night was one or two silver.

On the ship there are three people in a room, and it is of course best to be able to separate them here.

The family's new house can't be moved in yet, and Gu Qing has always been used to sleeping with Gu Yu and the two of them.

Now she sleeps with Gu Yu, and Yang Pei sleeps in one by herself.

The three of them didn't rest well on the boat, and after staying in the inn, the first thing they did was to sleep first and nourish their spirits.

slept until noon before getting up, Gu Qing washed his face and took the two of them downstairs to eat.

Naturally, I didn't dare to eat in the inn, the things here were too expensive, and a bowl of vegetarian noodle soup cost twenty-five yuan, which was simply a money grab.

The three of them went to the street to eat noodles on the side of the road, and put the noodles with pork dumplings, fifteen yuan a bowl, and the noodles were very small, but the noodles were very large, Gu Qing couldn't finish eating, so he sandwiched a small half bowl of noodles to Yang Pei.

"Brother Yang, the three of us will go for a walk in Nanyang City separately in a while, and I will take Yu'er to look for opportunities." Gu Qing gave Yang Pei ten taels of silver, and advised, "Remember Xiaohan's words, don't be impatient, we must be calm in business, this is the first day, there are still two days, take your time." ”

Yang Pei didn't dare to slack off, and kept every word Gu Qing said in his heart.

After eating the noodles, the three of them separated. Gu Qing took Gu Yu around the street, and finally chose a shop, called Mao Mu Zhai, the name of the store is very elegant, it is actually a store specializing in selling toiletries.

She walked in, and there were a lot of products here, in addition to the common soap balls, soap powder, soapberry and other things, there were also original toothbrush toothbrush powder for cleaning teeth, and dried flower petals for bathing...... In short, as long as it is necessary to clean the body, this shop has it.

Gu Qing bought some toothbrush powder, and when she paid the bill, she said softly: "Shopkeeper, can you talk alone for a while?" ”

The shopkeeper sitting behind the counter looked up at Gu Qing, and saw that although she was dressed in fine cloth, she didn't even have the simplest plain silver hairpin in her hair, and the shopkeeper could guess Gu Qing's identity at a glance.

The shopkeeper moved the abacus in his hand and said coldly: "It's a total of four hundred and fifty-six yuan, pay if you buy it, and put it back if you don't buy it." ”

Gu Qing: "......"

She can be said to understand what it means to look down on people with dog eyes.

"I can't afford it, I don't buy it."

Gu Qing put the things back and walked away with Gu Yu.

The shopkeeper smiled proudly: "My eyes are still so vicious, this kind of poor person can't escape my eyes at all, little Liuzi, you learn more!" ”

The little guy named Xiao Liuzi immediately came over to help the shopkeeper hammer his shoulder: "I won't let this kind of person enter the door in the future, can ......you afford to pay for it?"

Gu Qing walked to the door of another similar shop, went in and asked, but the little guy didn't introduce her to the shopkeeper at all.

This city is too prosperous and not good, there are snobbery everywhere, their muslin clothes are the best new clothes in Gujia Village, and when they come to Ruyang City, they are just a dirt bun, and no one looks down on her.

Since these people don't want the business delivered to the door, then, let these people beg her in turn.

Gu Qing slowly had an idea in his heart.

It was already early, so she took Gu Yu to buy some things she needed first, and then returned to the inn.

Gu Qing leaned back on the chair and sat down, and said to Yang Pei: "Brother Yang, go downstairs and buy some food to eat!" ”

If you eat noodles at noon, you should eat something in the evening, otherwise you will be exhausted.

When Yang Pei heard this, he immediately ran down.

While the three of them were eating, Yang Pei frowned and asked, "Family Master, you walked around Ruyang City today, what did you find?" ”

Gu Yu said angrily: "The people here are too arrogant and unreasonable, the eldest sister just wanted to chat with the shopkeeper, but they not only refused, but also drove us away." ”

Gu Qing doesn't care, since ancient times, the profession that looks at people's faces the most is sales, and if you want to make money, you have to put your face down and withstand setbacks.

After eating, Gu Qing began to toss a fine linen cloth he had bought in the morning.

The linen cloth was cut into boxy pieces, some stained with oil, some stained with blood from unknown sources, and some covered with mud......

"Brother Yang, Yu'er, you two come over to help." Gu Qing opened his mouth and said, "These cloths, the dirtier they are, the better." ”

Gu Yu picked up a piece of cloth dyed with oil: "Eldest sister, I will simply take these pieces of cloth to the kitchen of the inn to wipe the stove, it will definitely be dirty." ”

"That's smart, let's go." Gu Qing thought for a while and said, "Brother Yang, you spend some money and go to the kitchen to buy a pot of leftover oil." ”

Yang Pei had already understood what Gu Qing wanted to do, so he nodded and went to do it immediately.

He hurried downstairs with a basin, and a drunken middle-aged man suddenly came upstairs and bumped into him, and he was immediately dizzy from the impact.

According to his previous character, he would definitely question him, but now that he is in a foreign country and cannot act publicly, he endured it.

He looked up at the man in front of him, always feeling a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.

The man had really drunk too much, and he stumbled and almost rolled down the stairs.

Yang Pei hurriedly helped him.

This person is really heavy, round and round, all the weight is on Yang Pei, and he almost didn't crush Yang Pei to death.

"Uncle, which room do you live in, I'll help you go back."

"Live...... Live over there! ”

The man casually pointed to the back of the first floor.

The first floor is a low-class room, half a tael of silver a night, and the people who live here are ordinary people.

The clothes that this man was wearing knew that they were silk when he touched them, and Yang Pei asked again: "Are you sure you live behind here?" ”

The man burped and nodded, "That's, there." ”

Yang Pei was a good man to the end, helping him to walk to the back, but the man did not stop at the door of the room, but continued to point backwards, and finally walked to the warehouse rented by the inn.

The man took out a key from his neck and threw it into Yang Pei's hand: "Open the warehouse." ”

Yang Peiyun was in a fog, but he still did it.

As soon as the storehouse was opened, he was astonished, and it was full of cloth, piled up all the way to the roof.

And it didn't seem to be an ordinary fabric, he took a closer look, it looked like a yarn weaving, this is an extremely expensive cloth!

When he was stunned, there was an extra fire fold in his arms.

The man said drunkly, "It's all burned." ”

Yang Pei was so frightened that his hand loosened, and the fire broke and fell to the ground, he recently read the fire prevention rules of the soap workshop every day, for fear of causing a fire, so he quickly picked it up and threw it in the courtyard outside.

"Uncle, malicious arson is a capital offense!" He hurriedly pulled the man outside, "Lock it up, I can pretend I haven't seen it." ”

"Go away!" The man opened the door of the storeroom, and suddenly howled, "Tens of thousands of taels of silver, my tens of thousands of taels of silver, all smashed inside......"

Tears flowed down his round face.

Yang Pei didn't know why, and comforted: "The price of a piece of Luo yarn is as high as a dozen taels of silver, and the cloth in this warehouse can be sold for at least fifty or sixty thousand taels, and it won't be a loss......

He had learned about the cloth business today, so he knew a thing or two about it.

Luo yarn is a luxurious cloth woven from silk, which was reserved for nobles.

"Woooooooooo......oo I didn't think I would lose ......" the man pulled out a piece of cloth and spread it out rudely, "it's all ruined...... It's all to blame for not inspecting the goods carefully, and I was cheated...... I invested 30,000 taels, and other people partnered to invest 20,000, and I lost all ......"

Yang Pei glanced at it and was speechless for a moment.
