In the end, Su Zijin and others hired a few laborers at a price of ten Wen to carry the ceremony.

"Guest officer, are you satisfied with our work?"

Li Fu carefully put down the burden on his shoulders, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked with a smile.

Su Zijin nodded, "Very good, steady and fast."

"hey-hey!"

Several Lifu looked at each other and smiled, watching Su Zijin and the others remain silent.

Su Zijin and others didn't know why, looking at Lifu, the two groups were relatively silent at the door of the inn.

"Hey, guest officer, please!"

Fortunately, the appearance of the innkeeper relieved the embarrassment of the scene.

"Shopkeeper, look..." Lifu looked at the shopkeeper and said hesitantly.

The shopkeeper's small eyes smiled, and he said enthusiastically to Qin Jing and Su Zijin, "Our Sishui County rules, if the guest officer is satisfied with these hard work, he will give a few tips. It doesn't matter how much, usually ten. Big bucks going up."

After hearing this, Su Zijin and others felt as if they were being forced to eat flies for some reason.It's not that I feel sorry for the money, but that these few Li Fu robbed other people's work with ten big money, and in the end they had to tip, after all, it's not as enjoyable as directly getting twenty big money.Not to mention, just arrived at the entrance of the inn at this moment, if a few hard-working people can help Xi Yan and others put things back together, a piece of broken silver in Xi Yan's hand is not only a few dozen big bucks?
"Do as the Romans do."

Qin Jing signaled to Xi Yan, Xi Yan searched for a long time from his cuffs before he took out a few big money and paid the bills for everyone.

After paying the bill, Li Fu left in a hurry, and the shopkeeper ordered the waiter to come over and help carry the salute into the inn.

Su Zijin and others felt inexplicable when they first came to experience the completely different style of doing things in Xuzhou and Beidi.

"Why do you feel so petty?"

At the dinner table, Cheng Mingliang couldn't help muttering.

That's right, the people in the Northland have always been simple and honest, as much as they want, even if they think it's too little, they will finish their errands before leaving, not like Xuzhou, who come overtly or secretly, and do half of the work.

"Guest officer, don't feel uncomfortable. Lifu's doing this is also a customary rule here. Originally? At the door of the inn, this is our job. It doesn't make sense for us to do our job. Let Lifu do it for us."

Seeing that some people at the dinner table were hesitant, the shopkeeper explained.

The shopkeeper's welcome has been sent for so many years, and he can guess a little bit about Beidi's thoughts, so he said so.

After listening to the shopkeeper's explanation, everyone felt even more uncomfortable, "Why don't you explain? It's so clear, it feels impersonal."

Cheng Mingliang continued to complain.

"One place, one style, let's come here in a low-key manner, don't we just want to experience the customs of the two places? This is just right."

When Qin Jing said this, Cheng Mingliang stopped complaining. After a simple dinner, everyone went to rest early, and started to get down to business tomorrow.

"morning!"

"morning!"

The inn is small, and in the small courtyard, Su Zijin was washing in the courtyard. As soon as he left the house, he met Qin Jing who was also washing in the courtyard. The two greeted each other, and they felt very novel.Beidi Inn, this kind of small courtyard, is generally used by noble people with status to live in it by default. Naturally, living, sitting and sleeping will be arranged in the house.I don't know if it's the inn's lack of specifications, or it's a custom here. Everyone washes up in the courtyard.

After a while, Cheng Mingliang and Guo Yixing also came out, and they actually met in this way.

"Stingy everywhere!"

At the dinner table, Cheng Mingliang picked up a delicate little steamed bun, and while putting it in his mouth, he made complaints about it.

After a meal, a few people went out to go shopping.Because they wanted to experience the local customs, everyone wore not-so-bad cotton robes, and walked back and forth on the street, as if they were brothers and sisters from a wealthy family going out.

"Guest officer, come and see!"

Suddenly, someone called to stop several people on the street, Xi Yan turned his head and looked over, it was a man with shrewd eyes who greeted him in the tea house.

No one knew, so, "Do you know us?"

The man shook his head naturally, "Of course I don't know each other, but I can tell that it's the first time for the guests to come to our Surabaya. Do you know what is the specialty of Surabaya?"

Su Zijin shook his head, "I don't know."

The businessman clapped his hands and said regretfully, "Hey, it's Songjiang cotton cloth! It's better than what you guys are wearing. It has been a royal tribute since ancient times!"

The faces of Su Zijin and the others changed. The businessman didn't say anything, and everyone didn't know it. Once he said it, they realized that they wanted to wear low-key cotton cloth. As a result, they were wearing Songjiang cotton cloth as a tribute?
But this person said that the special product of Surabaya is better than the cotton cloth on everyone's body. They immediately became curious and followed the man, "You said you want to take some of us to see the authentic Songjiang cotton cloth?"

"nature!"

The man was unhurried, and seemed to say very firmly, "If you say a word, you are not afraid of offending others, and it is a higher class than the ones on you!"

Out of curiosity, everyone was led by this person to a large courtyard on the outskirts of the city. In the shed in the courtyard, rows of cotton cloths of various colors were placed under the shed. It's not because of a temporary arrangement by a few of us.

Su Zijin stepped forward, reached out to touch the fabrics, and motioned for Xiaoxia to come and touch them. Among them, Xiaoxia was the only one who knew a little about the fabrics.

"Miss, this is cotton cloth, but it is thinner than yours, and there are more colors, but there are not a few positive colors, and they are all partial colors."

The person who brought Su Zijin and others over immediately said, "Look, this is the advantage of the tribute Songjiang cotton cloth. It has many colors and is thin. This kind of cloth can be more breathable when worn on the body."

"is it?"

Su Zijin looked at this person suspiciously, and then at Xiao Xia, who scratched her head, "Seeing what this businessman said, it should be right?"

Xiaoxia was the first to feel unconfident.

"That's it!" The man was excited, "Masters and ladies, the amount of fabrics for these tributes is limited today. Would you like to buy a few as souvenirs? After all, tributes are hard to touch!"

Su Zijin looked at Qin Jing, and Qin Jing said in a low voice, "There are not many tribute fabrics on the market. If you pretend to be a tribute, can you afford it?"

The man patted his chest, "Don't worry, if I talk nonsense, you can just punish me!"

This man was so swearing, Su Zijin couldn't help but spend money, and bought a few horses in different colors. After returning to the inn, he and Qin Jing came together, holding the cloth and the real tribute Songjiang cotton cloth they brought. Go to the largest cloth shop in the county.

"Shopkeeper, please show me which of these two fabrics is better."
