Chapter 134: Buying a Shop
Xiang Xi was originally going to open a shop in Fucheng, the main purpose was for the female dependents in the village, after all, their craftsmanship was not bad, but they had never touched good cloth in the past, so they would only make some coarse cloth products.
"It's not impossible to open a bun shop in Fucheng alone, but there is no manpower at present, and this work is not easy, and the noodles are very tiring, but the profits are definitely better than in the county and town, after all, the prices in Fucheng are higher, and you can make more money."
"If you really have the heart, you can recommend someone to me, it's really nothing, and when the time comes, you can directly take the recipe back and use it in the county restaurant and the town's restaurants, and it won't be wasted."
When Gao Yun and Zhao Qingyun heard this, they pondered it, but they didn't ask anything more.
After breakfast, the two went back to their respective rooms to read.
Xiang Xi was about to add another fire to the pot, heat the buns and wait for Goldman Sachs to get up before eating, but Goldman Sachs got up.
"You came back late last night?" Xiang Xi went to bed early, and he really didn't know when Goldman Sachs would come back, so he asked.
Goldman Sachs nodded as he ate, "Well, I came back before curfew." ”
Without waiting for Xiang Xi to ask him, he took the initiative to explain, "I inquired about some news, the reason why Liu Yuanyuan is friendly with the noble person is because she inadvertently saved the other party's life outside the city before. ”
"Soon after that, someone came to the door to give them a thank you gift, outsiders don't know what it is, but then someone saw Liu Yuanyuan have an extra jade pendant around her waist, presumably it should be a thank you gift from the prince."
"After that, the Xie family and the same acquaintance, who had been sad for Liu Yuanyuan, sent people to apologize to them, and it didn't take long for someone to see Liu Yuanyuan privately having a relationship with the prince alone."
"It didn't take long for Liu Yuanyuan to meet with Gao Xuan privately with many merchants to discuss the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce."
Xiang Xi touched his chin after hearing this and said, "In this way, in order to repay his kindness, the prince is quite indulgent to Liu Yuanyuan. ”
"But even kindness has an end, for example, what did Liu Yuanyuan do to make the prince unpleasant, and everything now is empty."
"So, I think we shouldn't investigate the matter of the prince now, but should pay attention to Liu Yuanyuan's matter and see if she has done anything immoral behind her back."
Goldman Sachs nodded, "I don't plan to inquire about the prince, I don't know how many eyes are staring behind these nobles, if I go to investigate so straightforwardly, I will definitely be known, and then I will really offend the prince." ”
"Even if you inquire about Liu Yuanyuan, unless she does something that hurts her conscience, don't worry about it." Xiang Xi thought that he and Goldman Sachs were the best relatives in the original text.
In case Goldman Sachs went to inquire about the news, Liu Yuanyuan identified it as wanting to grab the handle and ask them for money, and then casually said a word in front of the prince.
When the time comes, the nobleman will give a casual order, which will be a troublesome matter for Xiang Xi.
This is also based on the fact that she thinks that the seventh prince in the book can get along well with Liu Yuanyuan, which shows that he is also a person who values profits, such a person is not suitable for talking about feelings, but only about interests.
If the other party has a bad impression of them in advance, it is easy to affect the layout of the county.
That's more than worth the cost.
Goldman Sachs nodded when he heard this, indicating that he understood.
"I'll accompany you to see the shop first?"
"No, let's go our separate ways, didn't you say that Lord Lin was going to call us back?"
"That's fine."
After talking to Goldman Sachs, Xiang Xi brought a silver ticket with her, and went straight out, she walked slowly around Fucheng first.
Speaking of which, it was the first time she came to Fucheng, and the boundary of Fucheng was much larger than that of the county seat, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was formed by ten times.
Xiang Xi walked around the two streets, and felt that her legs were weak, she looked around, and was stunned that there was no service to carry passengers, but many large families were driving carriages out of the house.
Xiang Xi, "......"
I knew that she would have driven the carriage directly.
Xiang Xi regretted it too late, she had gone so far, she walked back directly, but she didn't do anything, wouldn't it be even more of a waste of time.
She simply passed by a shoe shop and went in.
All day.
Xiang Xi went to no less than a dozen shops, his feet were almost soft, and he had to return to the house before the curfew at night, and he was very tired when he got home.
Goldman Sachs was in the courtyard, I don't know how many times I looked outside, I heard the sound, walked out quickly, and saw Xiang Xi sitting on the threshold wiping sweat.
"What's going on?" Goldman Sachs stepped forward and pulled her up.
Xiang Xi grinned and cried out in pain.
"I've been out all day and my foot is about to break." Xiang Xi touched his forehead depressedly, "I'm so stupid, I didn't even think of driving the carriage out." ”
Goldman Sachs reached out and picked her up, Xiang Xi was startled, and hurriedly grabbed his sleeve.
"Stupid, I don't know how to find someone to run errands and come back to inform the third brother."
Xiang Xi touched the tip of his nose and wailed, "Why didn't I think that my feet should hurt." ”
"I'll go out with you tomorrow." Goldman Sachs carried her into the house and put her down, and went to the kitchen to bring water for soaking her feet.
Xiang Xi took off her socks and slowly put them into the water, feeling that her feet were instantly comfortable, and she couldn't help but smile happily at Goldman.
Goldman Sachs laughed helplessly, "Don't be so stupid next time." ”
"You soak it first, I'll go to the kitchen to make dinner, the third brother has eaten it."
"Okay."
After Xiang Xi finished eating, Gao Sachs also boiled the hot water, just for her to take a bath, Xiang Xi washed off the smell of sweat and lay down comfortably on the bed.
Goldman Sachs cleaned up the bed, there was no musty smell at all, and it was taken out to dry during the day.
Xiang Xi was lying on the bed, Goldman Sachs fanned her, and the two talked for a while before closing their eyes and resting.
Early the next morning.
Xiang Xi had breakfast with Goldman Sachs and went out together.
This time Xiang Xi still went straight to the shoe shop, in fact, the shoe shops in Fucheng are all sold together in the ready-to-wear shops, there is no separate shoe sales, she finished reading all the shoe styles in these shops, and also got a lot of useful news, such as the shoe style tradition in Fucheng, also with its own characteristics, she painted these styles, as for the insoles, there is nothing prominent, mille-feuille shoes are the most common.
But unlike what is made in the village, she even tried to wear it, and found that the comfort lies in the material, not in the shoes themselves, but when the shoemaker changes to ordinary linen to make shoes, the comfort is greatly reduced.
Xiang Xi said in a pleasant tone, "It seems that my sister-in-law's craftsmanship is still very good, and they can be sold as shoes at a low price." ”
"That's right, then I'll drive the carriage to the street over the barracks." Goldman Sachs said.
Xiang Xi nodded, while looking at what was beautiful on the street passing outside.
Here, the two quickly drove the carriage to the north street, which is not so prosperous compared to the main street, but there are all kinds of shops that should be there, and there are more pedestrians on the road, obviously from the army.
