Bieye still compromised and came to Buzhuang with Gu Rao.

This is Gu Rao's second visit to Buzhuang.

Last time he didn't have enough money, so he bought cheaper linen. Now that he has more money this time, Gu Rao plans to buy better fabrics.

People come and go in Buzhuang, and business is very good.

Gu Rao did not ask for trouble and let people introduce these fabrics to him. Instead, he touched each one and compared the comfort before asking, "Boss, what kind of fabric is this?"

The shopkeeper's ability to remember people is very good. In addition, Gu Rao and Bieye are both good-looking. Bieye's height is rare in this era. They are very recognizable. You can recognize them at a glance as they were last time. A couple who bought linen.

He glanced at the cloth in Gu Rao's hand.

She was sure that she couldn't afford it. Besides, she was very busy now and not every customer could be taken care of. So she just said perfunctorily, "That's a soft smoke. It costs a hundred cents a foot. Madam, you might as well look at something else."

Gu Rao asked again, "How much does a foot of fine cotton cost?"

The shopkeeper was busy greeting others and waited for Gu Rao to ask again before casually answering, "Twenty cents per foot."

Gu Rao asked, "I bought a lot, can it be cheaper?"

When the shopkeeper heard that she had bought a lot, and it was not linen but cotton, his attitude became more enthusiastic than before. He walked up to Gu Rao and asked, "If you buy more, I can pull some more cloth for you."

“How much muslin do you want to buy?”

Gu Rao said, "Buy some soft tobacco and fine cotton cloth."

He pointed at himself and then at Bieye beside him.

"I plan to make two sets of soft clothes for my husband and me. The inner clothes will be made of cotton. Can you help me find out how much fabric I should buy?"

The shopkeeper was stunned.

"Made with soft tobacco?"

Gu Rao nodded.

A flower suddenly bloomed on the shopkeeper's face, and he said enthusiastically, "This lady is really discerning. She can tell at a glance that Soft Yanluo is a good fabric. This kind of fabric has an elegant style, tight texture, familiarity, and airy gauze. It’s sheer, comfortable, cool, and lightweight.”

"Summer is coming soon, and clothes made of this kind of fabric are perfect!"

Pointing to the soft smoke in four colors, he said, "The soft smoke only has four colors, namely sky blue, autumn fragrance, pine green, and silver red."

"Your husband is tall and handsome. You have white skin, a slender figure, and are still young. You will definitely look good in whatever color you wear."

“I’m going to make four sets of clothes anyway, why not make one set of clothes in each color?”

After these beautiful words, Gu Rao really had the idea of ​​buying all four colors. Who made her like all four colors?

"Then make one set of each color."

Turning around, he asked Bieye, "What color do you like?"

Bieye said, "Anything is fine."

Gu Rao raised his eyebrows.

"That's what you said, so I'll choose the autumn color for you. It just so happens that the clothes you wore before were all dull colors, either gray or blue. I haven't tried other colors yet."

Autumn color is essentially dark yellow.

The shopkeeper immediately said, "The Qiuxiang color is low-key yet gentle, and can be worn by both men and women."

Bieye did not refute.

"it is good."

Gu Rao decided, "Then use azure and autumn colors to make two sets of clothes for my husband, and use pine green and silver red to make two sets of clothes for me."

The shopkeeper visually inspected Bieye's height and said to Gu Rao, "With your husband's height, it would take about ten feet of cloth to make a set of clothes. With your height, one set of clothes would use about seven feet of cloth."

"This kind of fabric can also be used to make tents and window screens. Even if you buy too much, you can still use it to make other things. It's better than buying too little, right?"

Gu Rao nodded.

"Then let's get ten feet each of the sky blue and autumn-colored soft smoke, and seven feet each of the pine green and silver-red soft smoke."

"One piece of fine cotton should be enough."

The shopkeeper's abacus.

"I bought a total of thirty-four feet of soft tobacco, one foot is one hundred cents, thirty-four feet is thirty-four hundred cents; one foot of fine cotton is twenty cents, one piece is forty cents, the price of one piece It’s eight hundred essays.”

"The soft tobacco and fine cotton together cost a total of 4,200 silver coins."

"If you buy more, how about I give you an extra foot of fine cotton?" He pointed to the rags in the basket under the counter and said with a smile, "These are leftovers from making clothes, embroidered handkerchiefs, purses, etc. If you don’t mind the scraps, I can make some and give them to you.”

Gu Rao saw that the shopkeeper was also very sincere, so he did not continue to bargain and said decisively, "Thank you so much, shopkeeper. I will come to you to buy cloth next time."

"Wrap the cloth for me just now."

The shopkeeper asked the waiter to wrap the cloth, then he found a linen bag, filled Gu Rao with a large bag of scraps, and carefully tied the opening with a longer cloth.

Gu Rao reached out and took it.

"Thank you."

He took the money bag from his waist, took out a five-tael silver ingot and handed it over.

The shopkeeper found 800 silver for her.

After the boy wrapped the cloth, Bieye took the cloth and held it in his arms.

-

After coming out of Buzhuang, Gu Rao did not go back directly. Instead, he continued walking to the front of East Street and came to a shop that sold pots and pans.

"Boss, how much does this small earthen bowl for steaming meat cost?"

The boss said, "Two cents each."

Gu Rao didn't expect it to be so cheap.

"Give me ten."

Then he looked at the bowls and basins. The bowls for eating also cost two cents each. The basins were divided into large, medium and small. The small basin cost three cents, the medium basin cost four cents, and the large basin cost five cents.

Gu Rao bought ten eating bowls to avoid having no bowls to eat when guests came to the house in the future.

I bought two more large basins for washing vegetables or kneading dough.

Finally, I walked to the place where the casseroles were placed. I was not satisfied after looking at all the casseroles, so I asked, "Boss, do you have a smaller casserole?"

The boss asked, "How small do you want it?"

Gu Rao said, "It's a casserole that's almost the same size as a noodle bowl."

The boss shook his head.

“What can be cooked in such a small casserole?”

"No."

"If you really want it, I can bake it in two days."

Two days...

It's going to open in three days. Isn't it too late by then?

Gu Rao secretly thought that he had made a mistake.

"If I buy a lot, can you expedite it for me and bake it in one day, or one and a half days, and give it to me the morning after tomorrow?"

The boss asked, "How much do you want to buy?"

Gu Rao actually only planned to buy twenty at first. After all, the business hadn't started yet, and he didn't know how the business would be by then. Moreover, the yard was not big enough to accommodate twenty people.

But in order to rush for time, there is nothing wrong with buying more.

If the business is too good and the cleaning is not so quick, these extra casseroles can also be used.

"Fifty."

The boss nodded.

"can."

"If you give the deposit now, I will bake it for you later, and I can give you the fifty casseroles you asked for in the morning."

Gu Rao said, "Do you have papyrus and writing brushes here?"

"I drew the style of the casserole I wanted to prevent mistakes. I asked for thirty smaller ones and twenty larger ones, all with lids."
