The streets of Luoyang City are still so prosperous, and the sounds of various hawkings are endless.
However, after hearing Meng Xiucai's story, Xiaoliu knew that behind this bustling and bustling big city, it was not as beautiful as it seemed on the surface.
At this moment, he missed Qixia Town a little bit.
Although Qixia Town is small, it is peaceful and peaceful, and there are not so many bad things that people hear about. It is no wonder that so many experts choose to live in seclusion in Qixia Town.
"Brother, are you worried about something?"
Xiao Qi in Xiao Liu's arms looked at Xiao Liu who shook his head and sighed from time to time, and asked with concern.
Xiao Liu looked at Xiao Qi who was looking at him with concern, reached out gently to touch her head, and said with a slight smile:
"nothing."
At this time.
"Rui Hexiang's pure cotton fabric, there are hundreds of colors for you to choose from!"
Xiao Liu looked for his voice and went out, only to see a clerk at the door of a silk and satin shop shouting vigorously. Xiao Liu lowered his head and smiled at Xiao Qi:
"Let's go, brother will take you to buy some new clothes."
"Well, thank you, brother." Xiao Qi smiled sweetly.
"Hey, please invite the three guests." Seeing the guests arriving, the waiter greeted him enthusiastically. Even if the little girl in Xiaoliu's arms was dirty, he didn't mind.
As the saying goes, there are always customers when they come in. As long as it doesn't affect their business, usually no one will say anything bad at first sight.
It is almost impossible for a dog to look down on others in a large business like this.
After all, the most important thing to pay attention to when doing business is word of mouth. Even if they are unhappy, it is rare for a store to directly drive away a customer.
Xiaoliu looked around and found that most of the stores were stocked with pieces of silk and satin, not all ready-made clothes like in later generations.
"Sir, what would you like to order?" The waiter knew at a glance that Xiaoliu was in charge, so he asked respectfully.
"Brother, do you have all kinds of silk and satin like this? Do you have any ready-made clothes for sale?" Xiao Liu asked.
The clerk was stunned when he heard this. He probably came from the countryside and went to the wrong store.
However, despite this thought in his mind, the clerk still explained to Xiaoliu very kindly:
"My guest, you don't know something. Our silk and satin shop only sells silk and satin, not ready-made clothes. If you want to buy ready-made clothes, you have to go to a ready-made clothes shop. However, the ready-made clothes in this ready-made clothes shop are generally of the best style and quality. It's very ordinary, not as good as the fine fabric we have.
In fact, if you are interested in buying ready-made clothes, we also have masters here who can tailor and make them for you on-site. Not only will they fit you better, but the styles can also be modified according to your preferences, ensuring your satisfaction. "
"Oh, really." Xiaoliu asked with great interest.
The boy's words also made Xiao Liu realize that he had little knowledge, but also, there was no silk and satin shop in Qixia Town, only one ready-made clothing store. This was his first time visiting a silk and satin shop.
However, although he knew he had come to the wrong store, he felt comfortable listening to the waiter's words. He was not short of money now, so he was interested, and he also wanted to buy some to give to the master, Lao Bai, and the shopkeeper. Gift.
"Of course, why don't you take a look and see which styles suit your liking." The waiter agreed with a chuckle.
Then Xiao Liu started choosing among the silk and satin shops.
He first ordered two outfits for Xiao Qi, one in clear green and one in pink. Then he bought some fine fabrics on the recommendation of his clerk as gifts for the shopkeepers.
"Brother, what about yours?" Xiao Qi looked at Xiao Liu curiously as he watched Xiao Liu finishing his selection and preparing to pay the bill.
Xiao Liu chuckled and touched Xiao Qi's head and said, "Good boy, Xiao Qi. My brother has been wearing his clothes for a long time and is not used to wearing these silks and satins."
Xiao Qi heard this, thought for a while, and said childishly:
"Since my brother doesn't like to wear these, Xiao Qi doesn't want to wear these either. Xiao Qi wants to wear the same clothes as his brother, and these clothes are so expensive."
Xiao Qi lowered her head, as if she was worried that her words would make Xiao Liu angry, and did not dare to raise her head to look at Xiao Liu. However, Xiao Liu chuckled and touched her head, turned to the waiter and said:
"Brother, bring me two more black and white horses."
"Hey, good sir." When the waiter heard this, he quickly went to get a black and a white one. He finally figured out that Xiao Liu was a rich man from the countryside, and he was very generous.
And Xiao Qi also looked up at Xiao Liu happily.
"How's it going? Brother, does it look good like this?" Xiao Liu took the piece of cloth and covered it on his body, gesticulating and asking with a smile.
"Yeah! Brother looks good in whatever he wears." Xiao Qi nodded happily and said from the bottom of his heart.
Finally, at Xiao Qi's suggestion, Xiao Liu also customized two outfits for himself, one black and one white.
"My guest, everything is ready for you. The total is eight taels." The clerk wrapped the things and counted them with an abacus.
Hearing this, Xiao Liu chuckled and took out a small silver ingot worth ten taels of silver from his arms.
"Okay, there's no need to look for more, just think of it as a tip for you. In addition, I'll put these things in your store first. After the clothes are ready, I will come and pick them up together. Is there no problem?"
"No problem, no problem. Don't worry, sir, I will definitely keep an eye on you." The clerk took the silver and bit it lightly in his mouth. After confirming that it was genuine, he quickly responded happily.
"Okay, then I'll leave first. By the way, where is your nearest ready-made clothing store? Are there any better inns nearby?" Xiao Liu asked, Xiao Qi still wanted to buy a few pieces of ready-made clothes first. It's just a matter of changing, and for an inn, you also need to find a place to eat and stay.
"There is a ready-made clothes shop at the corner in front. You can go from..." The waiter who received Xiaoliu's tip was also very happy to help Xiaoliu show the way.
"Thank you very much."
Xiao Liu chuckled and thanked them, then turned around and left with Xiao Qi and the others, leaving only the happy boy with a happy face and the tip in his hand.
. . .
"Yelai Inn!" Xiaoliu looked at the plaque at the door and chuckled, then he led Xiaoqi and the others inside.
"I'll invite you in here. May I ask if you want to be in a hotel or stay in a hotel?"
As soon as Xiaoliu walked through the door, a waiter came to greet him.
Xiaoliu took a look around. This inn was really not small. It was more than three times bigger than Tongfu Inn. The lobby on the first floor alone was filled with more than a dozen large square tables, and almost all of them were packed. It seemed like there was a lot of business. It's really good.
In addition, Xiao Liu discovered that almost most of these people were from the Jianghu, because they all carried swords with them.
However, Xiao Liu shook his head, because in his opinion, almost none of these people were experts, and at best they were at the same level as Xiao Guo.
