Chapter 4: Buying Pants

Near noon, under the scorching sun, the temperature rose rapidly, and the two big white legs under someone's cloak no longer trembled.

Xian Wu looked back at the candied haws Lu Piao handed over, and refused after thinking about it.

"I won't eat, thank you."

It's not that the roadside stall is dirty, or that he looks down on Lu Piao, it's just that he never eats food given by strangers.

Boys must protect themselves when they go out.

After finishing speaking, before Lu Piao could continue to grind, he turned back and continued to look for a tailor shop along the street.

"You're really weird for refusing such a delicious snack." Lu Piao puffed up his cheeks and complained.

In a short time, he had eaten all two candied haws of sugar haws.

Unlike Lu Piao and Zhu Bajie who looked like they were eating ginseng fruit, Nie Li chewed his food carefully and was very gentle.

And, don’t chirp.

Huang Tian paid off his hard work, and after continuing for a while, Xian Wu finally found a tailor shop - Wang Mazi Tailor Shop.

There was a little girl with braids in her hair at the door of the store, about four or five years old, playing with a rubber ball by herself.

The pink little face is very cute.

"Dad, we have a customer~" Seeing a stranger approaching, the little girl was not afraid at all. Instead, she turned to alert the store.

So cute~ Xian Wu's heart almost melted. If he gets married in the future, he will definitely have a baby.

pity……

When he thought of his left hand, Xian Wu was immediately discouraged.

With it, there is a high probability that red things will turn into white things.

After stepping over the threshold and entering the store, the shopkeeper greeted him warmly.

"Are you buying clothes? Or custom-made clothes?"

Although the three Xian Wus all looked like children, and the leader was dressed in extremely shabby clothes, the shopkeeper did not look down upon them.

"Do you have any pants?" Xian Wu asked bluntly.

"Pants or underwear?"

"Pants."

"Long or short?"

"long."

"Sackcloth or silk?"

"Sackcloth."

Before the shopkeeper could continue to ask, Xian Wu immediately interrupted.

He suspected that the shopkeeper's surname was not Wang or Nie, and the long-winded questions made his head hurt.

"What kind of money can I buy with this money?" Xian Wu took out his few savings from the inner pocket of his cloak.

"That's it?" The shopkeeper glanced at Xian Wu's palm and smiled, "You can't even buy a pair of trouser legs."

"No way? This money is enough to buy two pairs of pants in Beicheng District!" Xian Wu couldn't believe his ears.

The shopkeeper curled his lips: "The prices in our store are just like this, why don't you go to another store and ask."

Seeing that Xian Wu was looked down upon by the shopkeeper, Lu Piao was not happy.

"Hey, blind your eyes and take out the best pants in your store!" Lu Piao fluttered the hundred-dollar bill in his hand.

The shopkeeper's eyes twitched and he said politely: "I'm sorry, the money you two put together is not enough to buy a pair of trouser legs."

"The legs of your trouser are made of gold, or the waistband of your trouser is made of gold. Why are they so expensive? Look at our young age, do you want to trick us?"

Lu Piao was furious.

"Black... Black shop!" Nie Li fanned the flames.

Seeing that several people were about to get mad, the shopkeeper shook his head helplessly: "Don't make any noise, don't make any noise at all! It's worth your while." "Wait, I'll show it to you and you'll know!"

After that, he asked the waiter to look at the store, turned around and walked into the back hall.

After a while, the shopkeeper came back carrying a pair of snow-white trousers.

He held up the clothes rack, pinched the trousers, and proudly introduced: "Did you see that my trousers are made of high-quality fabrics?"

"How good is it?" Lu Piao crossed his arms, closed his eyes, and asked angrily.

The shopkeeper was not annoyed and began to introduce: "These trousers are made of high-quality silk woven from the silkworms of Fengxue Lingxue."

"It is not only cold-proof and warm, it is soft and silky, has good breathability, and is also extremely light. It is very popular among nobles."

"Why are ordinary linen pants so expensive? Can you show them to me?" Xian Wu asked.

Perhaps because there were not many customers, the shopkeeper did not refuse Xian Wu's request.

Handing the snow-white silk trousers to the clerk, he took out a pair of linen trousers from the back hall.

Before the shopkeeper introduced him, Xian Wu could see that his trousers were surprisingly thick.

"The people who buy linen pants are usually ordinary people. Considering that they often work in the fields, their clothes are severely worn."

"Our pants generally use three layers of fabric, which are warm and wear-resistant."

"I bought it home in winter, and by summer it was basically worn down to only one layer."

"It's hot in the summer. If you remove the damaged fabric, you can wear it as a pair of pants. It's economical and affordable."

clap clap clap...

Xian Wu couldn't help but applaud, it was so creative!
"Successful!" Xian Wu cupped his hands, "When I have money, I will definitely go to your house to buy pants."

Lu Piao couldn't help but ask: "How much does that pair of white pants cost?"

"Eighteen hundred demon spirit coins, no two prices." The shopkeeper first extended his index finger to make a one sign, and then extended his thumb to make an eight sign.

"So expensive?" Lu Piao swallowed. The total pocket money he had saved over the years was only two thousand demon spirit coins.

Sure enough, the life of rich people is not what they can imagine.

"Go and do your own business, don't accompany me." Walking out of Wang Mazi's tailor shop, Xian Wu turned his head and said to the two.

It doesn't matter if he himself is underestimated, but it's not good to implicate Lu Piao and Nie Li, after all, he is a nobleman's son.

Lu Piao waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, we have nothing to do anyway, and being idle is idle. Are you right, Nie Li?"

Nie Li nodded as he was short-tongued.

Just as they were about to leave, a mastiff that was bigger than a horse came running wildly from the street.

If you look carefully, you will find a girl with pink hair riding on the dog's back.

Don’t you understand why a dog wets its crotch while riding a horse?Xian Wu raised his eyebrows.

The three of them returned to the store, preparing to take a break from the attack.

"Who is this woman riding a dog? Isn't she too arrogant and domineering?" Lu Piao was indignant.

The waiter in the store said: "She doesn't even know her? Huyan Lanruo, the daughter of the Huyan family, one of the seven wealthy families."

"Mother..." Before Nie Li could finish his words, the shopkeeper covered his mouth.

The shopkeeper reminded: "Don't dare to talk nonsense. Miss Huyan is notoriously savage and difficult. If you offend her, you will never have a good life in this life. Even if you don't want to live, I still want to open my shop."

"That's right!" The shopkeeper suddenly remembered something, let go of Nie Li, and waved toward the door: "Erya, come in quickly, it's dangerous!"

What are you afraid of?

"Ball ball." The ball rolled onto the street, and the playful little girl hurried to pick it up.

In that carriage, Huyan Lanruo was riding a big dog, whipping up her whip, and rushing forward like a madman. She didn't even notice the little girl who suddenly ran to the middle of the road.

"Erya!!!" the shopkeeper exclaimed. It would be too late for him to run out to save people. If he ran out, both he and Erya would die.

Seeing that the little girl was about to be trampled into flesh by the giant mastiff's hooves and claws, a black shadow rushed out of the door.
