Chapter 347 Baihua Zhuang Baihua Brocade

Just after dinner, Sui Zhi took Xu Zhiqiong to Baihuazhuang.

Is it too early?

Baihuazhuang is not closed yet.

It's not early at all.

Xu Zhiqiong thought that Sui Zhi was going to sneak into Baihuazhuang late at night to find out the news.

But in fact, Sui Zhi came to Baihuazhuang to discuss business, serious business.

Qiluo brocade is the top grade of brocade.

The Baihua brocade produced by Baihuazhuang is the top grade among the top grades.

Sui Zhi came to buy brocade.

The two of them entered the shop, the shop was not too big, it could only be regarded as the middle level in the large and small silk and satin villages in the county town, and there was still a lot of difference between the big shops on the upper and lower three floors.

The clerk in the store was soliciting business, when he saw Sui Zhi and Xu Zhiqiong coming in, he hurried forward to say hello: "You two, are you shopping for silk?"

Sui Zhi smiled: "If you don't buy silk, why not buy candles?"

The clerk led the two of them to the counter and showed the various fabrics one by one: "This is the new Hua Su Ling, this is the first-class floating brocade, this is the first-class soft smoke, and here is the makeup brocade that just hit the shelves. He Tianxiangjuan, have you taken a look, which one do you see in the picture?"

"Over the eye, this is not noticeable, but why?" Sui Zhi sneered.

The clerk hurriedly agreed: "The guest officer has a good vision, tell me what you want to buy, and I'll see if there is any in the small shop."

"Come to your shop, of course to buy brocade."

The clerk laughed and said, "Since the small shop is called Baihuazhuang, all the brocades in the shop are called Baihuajin."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Sui Zhi said with a downcast face, "I want to buy real brocade."

What does this mean?
Does Baihuazhuang still sell fake brocade?

Of course not to sell, selling a fake is tantamount to smashing the signboard of his own home.

Where did Zhenjin start?

Baihua brocade is indeed the top grade of brocade, but if only the top grade is sold, the business will be narrowed.

Of course the linen and coarse cloth worn by ordinary people are not sold here, but ordinary high-quality silks and satins are also sold here. The flower plain silk, floating brocade, soft smoke silk, makeup satin and heavenly incense silk mentioned by the staff just now, They are all the top grade in silk and satin.

As long as the fabrics sold by Baihuazhuang can be collectively referred to as Baihua brocade, if you buy a piece of floating brocade from here and wear it, you can claim to be Baihua brocade, and you will have face.

But this thing can only be used to fool laymen, not experts. Experts can tell at a glance that this is a material from Baihuazhuang, but it is not the real Baihuajin. To put it bluntly, this is not a high-end product of Baihuazhuang.

The true brocade of hundreds of flowers is called the real brocade of hundreds of flowers. The price of a real brocade of hundreds of flowers of the same weight is four times that of gold. This is still the price of Huazhou. There is a proverb in the silk and satin industry in the capital: Hundreds of gold can be exchanged for hundreds of flowers. Bloom, it's a true brocade of flowers.

Sui Zhi wanted to buy Baihua Zhenjin, such a big business, the shopkeeper couldn't decide, so he hurried to the back room to invite the shopkeeper out.

The old shopkeeper was over seventy years old, he asked someone to bring a candlestick, and looked at Sui Zhi.

This is also a person who can meet each other, he cupped his fists at Sui Zhi and said: "Guest officer, I see that you are a real buyer, and there are indeed some real brocades in the shop, but I don't know how many feet you want to buy."

Sui Zhi said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you buy it by a yardstick or a horse."

The old shopkeeper stroked his beard, was silent for a moment, and asked: "Guest officer, do you know the price of Zhenjin?"

Sui Zhi took out two silver ingots, one fifty taels of silver ingot, and stuffed it into the hands of the old shopkeeper.

"This is fixed money."

The old shopkeeper touched the silver ingot, and gave it back to Sui Zhi: "Don't worry, guest officer, just let me talk in the back room."

The shopkeeper invited Sui Zhi and Xu Zhiqiong into the back room, first ordered the waiter to make tea, and then asked the waiter to bring real brocade cloth samples.

The clerk brought a delicate lacquer box, the old shopkeeper washed his hands, wiped it clean, unlocked it, and opened the box.

Xu Zhiqiong glanced at the box, which contained half a box of red ink.

What kind of brocade must be soaked in red ink?This maintenance method is too peculiar.

When the old shopkeeper picked up the brocade, Xu Zhiqiong was taken aback.

He twisted his fingers and lifted the red ink out of the box.

As if the ink had been sucked in, it formed into pieces and floated in front of Sui Zhi.

What skill is this?
How can this old man lift the ink?
After watching carefully, Xu Zhiqiong finally saw the clue.

What the old shopkeeper picked up was not ink.

There is no red ink in the box, only a piece of red brocade.

The brocade flowed like water, causing Xu Zhiqiong to hallucinate.

This is the fabric?Is there such a cloth in the world?

I have to ask Liang Yuyao later, she is probably the only one who can afford such a material.

"The guest officer has a look, this is a brocade of flowing water."

Sui Zhi frowned and said, "Where are the flowers?"

The shopkeeper smiled, picked up the candle, and shook it in front of the brocade, and the shadows of flowers appeared on the brocade, floating up and down like flowers falling in the water.

Xu Zhiqiong really opened his eyes this time.

Sui Zhi was also very satisfied with the fineness of the brocade, and took out two ingots of silver again: "I've decided to buy this real brocade, how much I want depends on the market price."

The old shopkeeper shook his head and said: "Guest officer, you take the deposit first, and I dare not take it if you give it to me. I only have a few pieces of sample cloth in this shop. If you want to buy real brocade in bundles, you have to go to our shop to buy real brocade." Dazhuang, talk to our owner about business,
Just tell me where you live, and the shop will prepare a car to pick you up tomorrow morning. "

Sui Zhi waved his hand and said, "I have to leave Qiluo County early tomorrow morning, and I have to do whatever I can tonight."

The old man smacked his lips and said, "This is a bit difficult."

Sui Zhi stood up and said, "Since you feel embarrassed, I'm afraid we won't be able to do this business."

"Wait a minute!" The old shopkeeper stopped Sui Zhi and said, "Guest officer, you really want to destroy my job."

Sui Zhi smiled: "I didn't smash it, you did it yourself."

The old shopkeeper hesitated for a long time, and told the waiter: "Prepare the car and go to Dazhuang!"

The waiter showed embarrassment: "Shopkeeper, it's already this time. If you send the guest officer to Dazhuang, it's hard for the owner to explain."

The old shopkeeper got up and said: "I will personally send this guest officer there."

The carriage was prepared in the backyard, and the old shopkeeper led the two into the carriage. The coachman waved his whip, and the two horses galloped out of the county.

Sui Zhi took out the folding fan and shook it: "It's stuffy in this car, at least it's ventilated."

While talking, Sui Zhi used his fan to lift the curtain of the carriage.

The old shopkeeper stretched out his hand to hold down Sui Zhi's fan, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, please bear with me for a while, we will be there soon."

Sui Zhi put away the fan, knowing the rules here, the old shopkeeper didn't want to reveal the whereabouts of Dazhuang.

Said it would be there from time to time, the carriage bumped all the way, and it took more than two hours before it stopped.

The old shopkeeper led the two out of the car, Xu Zhiqiong looked up and found that he was in the middle of the mountain, but there was a big manor in front of him.

The old man led the two of them into the gate, through the front garden, through the double garden, and stopped when they reached a yard.

A young man came up to meet him, and the old shopkeeper clasped his fists and smiled: "Please tell the owner that there is a distinguished guest who is here to buy real brocade. The guest should greet me first, and I will go to see the owner."

The young man agreed, and turned around to call six beautiful women.

The women surrounded Sui Zhi and Xu Zhiqiong and entered the attic. On the first floor of the attic was a steaming hot spring.

Xu Zhiqiong has seen this layout before, and the Soft Mist Spring also looks like this.

A woman came up to untie Xu Zhiqiong's belt, Xu Zhiqiong was startled, pushed the woman away and asked, "What are you doing?"

The woman smiled and said, "You are still wearing clothes while soaking in the spring?"

After speaking, she took off her clothes.

Xu Zhiqiong was taken aback, then took two steps back and said, "Girl is so courageous, I've been soaking in the spring every day for the past few days, so I won't be here today."

The girl reproached and said, "How can I do that? Is it because we didn't greet well?"

Greeting the two of them to soak in the spring is the same as the way to meet Liu Jiangpu at the beginning. They are naked and cannot carry weapons.

Sui Zhi didn't mind: "Nephew, do as the Romans do, don't let down the hospitality of the owner."

Xu Zhiqiong had no choice but to strip off his clothes with several Shuli, and entered Tangquan.

Sui Zhi sighed: "Today, you and my uncle and nephew finally meet each other sincerely."

I dare not say whether I am sincere or not, anyway, both of them are naked.

Sui Zhi glanced at Xu Zhiqiong from top to bottom, and praised: "Nephew, your physique is really good, especially this guy, it's really rare..."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled innocently: "They all agreed."

After speaking, Xu Zhiqiong covered it with his hands.

You man, what are you looking at my guy for?
The two women cooked wine in the soup pool, Sui Zhi and Xu Zhiqiong drank two glasses, and a handsome man in his forties entered the soup pool.

This man was indeed handsome, with slender cheeks, thick eyebrows and phoenix eyes, a straight nose bridge, square lips, half a foot long beard and temples, his facial features were not only exquisite, but also extremely masculine.

Although he is in his forties, his looks are not inferior to Yu Shan's.

The man clasped his fists and saluted and said, "In Xiahuachunting, two distinguished guests have come to our village. Dare I ask Gao's name?"

Sui Zhi replied: "My name is Yuan Bingwu, and this is my nephew named Yuan Yuguan. I think the old shopkeeper has already told the owner of Hua Zhuang about the two of us coming here."

Hua Chunting nodded and said: "Both of you come to buy real brocade. The price is a deposit of [-] taels. It looks like a real buyer. The guest officer also said that he wants to buy a few bolts of brocade. We can discuss the price."

Sui Zhi smiled and said: "I can trust the owner of the village. I bought a few pieces of red brocade and green brocade each. When I came to Qiluo County for the first time, I only brought two thousand silver in cash. The owner will help me choose according to the current price. "

Hua Chunting picked up the wine glass and said: "The business is going well, tomorrow I will choose the brocade and deliver it to the two guests' residences. If the guests are satisfied, it will not be too late to order money."

"Okay!" Sui Zhi exclaimed, "Since that's the case, it's inconvenient for the two of us to bother you, so we'll go back to the city."

Back to the city?

Go back now?

Didn't you come here to check the news?
On the contrary, Hua Chunting felt sorry: "You two guests, it's getting late, and you will stay in our village for one night."

Sui Zhi shook his head and said, "I'm here to do business, how can I disturb the owner casually?"

It can be seen that Sui Zhi really doesn't want to live here.

Hua Chunting lowered his head and smiled slightly: "You two, are you looking down on Baihuazhuang, or looking down on my flower?"

It can also be seen that Hua Chunting really wants to keep the two of them.

Sui Zhi sighed softly and said, "It's rare for the owner of the villa to show kindness, I'd rather be respectful than follow orders."

"Cheer up!" Hua Chunting raised his wine glass, drank two glasses with Sui Zhi and Xu Zhiqiong, and said to the six women: "You guys should serve the two guests well."

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said, "I promised my wife when I came here that I wouldn't dare to play tricks outside."

Hua Chunting lowered his head and smiled, "So, you still look down on me, Baihuazhuang."

With easy-going words and a smile on his face, he is clearly a person who is easy to get along with.

But Xu Zhiqiong felt bursts of power, which made him suffocate.

After opening the pupil of sin karma, Xu Zhiqiong could not see his cultivation, nor his sin karma, but only felt stinging pain in his eyes.

Sui Zhi smoothed things over from the side: "Nephew, make good use of it tonight, don't miss your wife, and take a good look at these girls, you are blessed."

Xu Zhiqiong looked at these girls again, the crimes were invisible, and they were all at the fifth rank.

No wonder Sui Zhi didn't want to live here.
