Chapter 47: Ming Laosan
In the evening, Jiang and Lan rode their horses to the vicinity of Xuanxuan Silk Village. Then dismounted.
This is the address of the original workshop written by the owner of the hacker stack in order to atone for their sins.
They hurriedly inquired about the stall owners of nearby food stalls. In order to attract business, the stall owner let them eat their own food, so he roughly talked about the situation here.
This place belongs to Boss Ming. This person has also been mixed up in Shanghai, known as Ming Laosan, who can dance with guns and sticks, and can also use shell pistols. His ancestors were born as tailors, and some of them also worked in the palace to make clothes for the imperial concubine, so they were taught from generation to generation, and now he also has good skills to design clothes.
Because he has been designing and making clothes for dignitaries all year round, this place has flourished and has become what it is today.
I heard that they had designed clothes for the families of the officers in charge of the Japanese army, and the nearby bandit army leader who was like the king of the mountain also made clothes for his aunt's wife. Therefore, this place is a black and white all-encompassing place. Even the Nationalist army passed by and did not move his house. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon inside, his subordinates are like the hands of a martial arts hall. Half of the female workers and half of the male workers and thugs.
The stall owner whispered and served them rice porridge while taking out the vegetable buns from the steamer.
Lan Sheng listened to his brief introduction just now, and was not afraid, but faintly worried, and said: "Young master, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's go, let's go back quickly." Dare to ask the boss, is this place good to enter? At this time, it is still bright, why is the door closed?"
The owner of the food stall: "I heard that the Ning family of the National Army came to make clothes, so it is enough for such a business today, enough." Are the two guest officers going to go inside to make custom-made clothes? The clothes over there are extremely expensive! Not ordinary people can afford to climb high! The boss is also very arrogant and rude. However, if you can buy loose fabrics over there, you can make some clothes to fill the field, and the face is enough, and they process a batch of fabrics every year. They are more kind to customers who buy loose fabrics. Because if those fabrics are not disposed of, it is a pity to lose them. Boss Naming is very shrewd in everything......"
Young Master Jiang Cheng pretended to eat food while looking at the luxurious gate opposite: "Thank you boss for giving us guidance." ”
Lan Sheng was in the hacker stack just now, and only ate a little non-toxic dish, and at this moment, a bowl of porridge was in her stomach, her eyes were bright, and she had spirit: "Young master, I'm ready, let's go." ”
Jiang Cheng nodded, then drank the last bite of gruel in the bowl, paid a little coin to the stall owner, and then came over and took Lan Sheng's arm.
Lan Sheng looked at him in surprise, his expression pretended to be serious, and with a faint smile, he said: "Since you are here, cherish the opportunity in front of you, pretend to be a couple, and choose fabrics." ”
She laughed softly: "What time is it, did you hear what the stall owner said? ”
Young Master Jiang Cheng took her arm and said as he walked: "If you come, you will be safe, let's buy some scraps of fabric and help them clean up some rags, they will always welcome it." ”
Lan Sheng said angrily: "Don't! Don't buy tattered things, that scrap of fabric, if it's not good, it's better not to buy it!" Do you know that we can deal with it, but the mother of Boss Lu of Jiale Gate, his family's requirements will definitely be very high, so let's be safe!"
Jiang Cheng took her and quickly walked into the door of Xuanxuan Silk Village, so he reached out and knocked on the door.
The two stone lions at the door, with their mighty eyes, seemed to be glaring at them.
Inside the door, I didn't hear the footsteps of a man, but I heard the barking of a dog. The dog's voice was strong and powerful, reverberating and reverberating, and it seemed that the courtyard was large.
After all, Jiang Cheng had fought with vicious dogs before, and he still had lingering palpitations at the sound of dogs barking.
Lan Sheng gently held his arm: "Do you remember what happened before?" I think that the master of this house should have kept the dog on a leash. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, someone came over and opened the door with a creak.
It was a little manservant, looking the two of them up and down, with an extremely arrogant and rude attitude, and asked with his arms crossed, "Which family are you?
Young Master Jiang Cheng smiled coldly: "I have heard of your family's fabrics for a long time, and today I just came to pick up some bits and pieces." ”
Lan Sheng gently shrugged his arm and reminded in a low voice, "You said it so coldly, can he let you in?"
Unexpectedly, the little manservant suddenly returned to normal and invited them in. While leading the way in front, he said: "Recently, the Ning family of the National Army ordered a batch of silk and satin materials and made some silk clothes, and there are some leftovers, can our young master collect them." ”
Two dogs nearby stared at them fiercely. Lan Sheng quietly looked at Jiang Cheng's face, and seemed to be no longer afraid of the sound of dogs.
The little manservant piggybacked on the greeting and said with a smile: "This bit of satin fabric is very expensive, and the common people really can't afford it! But I see if you can get a good price for the appearance of the dragon and phoenix among the young masters." ”
Young Master Jiang Cheng: "Take me to see the materials first! I don't accept all the fabrics." ”
Lan Sheng said softly: "Young Master, can you not pretend, disguise like this?"
Jiang Cheng looked at her with a smile, she didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Lan Sheng immediately followed Jiang Cheng, led by the manservant, and walked to the vicinity of the vestibule, where he saw several soldiers of the national army standing nearby.
There was a gorgeously dressed woman who seemed to be Mrs. Auntie, standing in the small pavilion, looking at the several cheongsams held by the maids, she looked at them one by one, and gently pulled them a few times with the tips of her fingers, shaking her head disdainfully.
A dignified man who looked like a boss sat at a table with a tea tray and smoked a pipe: "What, is the third aunt still not satisfied?
The woman who was called the third aunt twisted her slightly fat waist and said softly: "I am in the Ning family's mansion, the old lady is going to celebrate her birthday, will you give me such clothes? Look at this embroidery, it's too messy. ”
Young Master Jiang Cheng was ordered by the little manservant to wait here for the time being, he went to report, and then he saw the majestic boss Ming who was smoking a pipe, and whispered beside him: "A new master has come to collect the rags." ”
