Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 389 Buying a Fox Collar

Liu Ya galloped all the way on the horse, and the small road out of the backing mountain was Xiaozhang Village.But she had already asked in advance that there was no need to go to Xiaozhang Village to go to Guyushu Town, but to go straight along the road west of Xiaozhang Village, passing through a poplar forest was the main road leading directly to Guyushu Town.

However, the road to Guyushu Town would have to catch up with the journey into the city. If it wasn't for the horses, Liu Ya would probably have to walk another whole day.After passing through several small and big villages, Liu Ya didn't intend to stop.On the contrary, a young girl in her teens is carried on a fast horse, which attracts quite a lot of attention.

Running to Guyushu Town in one breath, Liu Ya breathed a sigh of relief, pulled the horse to a stop, and led the horse into the town.

This town is bigger than Datong Town, but not as lively as Ning'an Town.The shopfronts on the street are not big, like small workshops.No wonder people from Pingshan Village don't come here. Who would want to go to a small place instead of near and far.

However, there are quite a few fur shops here, and as soon as I walked into the main street, I saw several of them.Liu Ya felt that she had come to the right place, so she chose a relatively large one, and the fur coats and hats in the shop were of good style, tied up the horse and went in.

There was a guy who was sewing cowhide boots in the store. When he saw Liu Ya coming in with a fox skin, he hurriedly got up and said, "Miss, do you want to sell leather, or do you want to make leather goods?"

"Making leather goods." Liu Ya looked up at the fur products hanging all over the room, and there was such a luxury as mink fur coats.He handed over the fox fur in his hand and said, "Help me tan this leather, let's make a collar."

"Wait a minute, girl. I'll ask the master to come out and take a look. Your fox fur is not small. It's a pity to make it into a collar. It's a pity to cut it up." After the man finished speaking, he raised the back curtain and went to the back room.After a while, he led a senior master in his fifties out.

The old master's hands were covered with thick calluses, and his nails were also pitch-black. They were not dirty, but were stained by the potion used for tanning leather products all the year round.

"Girl wants to make a collar. This piece of leather is really not small, why not make a hat." The old master took the fox fur to have a look, and then said: "It's a pity, if this is the first snow in winter Hi, this fur can be more colorful. It's early summer, when the fox is moulting, the fur color is not very good."

Liu Ya laughed after hearing this, and said: "It's not up to us to decide what prey we encounter when we go up the mountain. If we hunt when it snows in winter, we may not be able to catch it. Master, do you think this fox skin can make a hat?"

The master craftsman said: "Yes, there is still a piece of leather left to make a collar, but there is not enough to do anything. If you want to make a hat, put the good leather on the front, and put the worse leather on the inconspicuous one." It's a nice leather hat for the place."

Liu Ya thought for a while and said, "Then...would it be enough to make two collars? I'll give one away."

"It's okay. But there is a collar with a slightly worse fur color. Because the best piece of fur is on the back, it is enough to cut it off to make a collar. The leftovers and fox tail are slightly modified and assembled. Get up and make another collar."

After the old master finished speaking, the guy from before took the fox fur and shook it off, saying: "Girl, you have found the right way, our store is an old one. I dare say that there is no place in Guelm Town that is better than my store." The master is even better than a good craftsman. If this is left at someone else’s house, just cut a big apron for you and bring it out, and no one cares about the rest of the small stuff. A better shop will give you a fox’s tail Cut out two sleeves. If they are forced to put the small materials together, the craftsmanship is not good, and the seams can be clearly seen, it will not look good. Only the leather materials stitched by my master skillfully, and a whole piece of leather There's no difference. As long as you don't dig through the fur to find it, the seams are almost invisible."

After hearing this, Liu Ya smiled and said: "So, I was really lucky to find this store. Since your products are so good, I will buy another fox fur collar. Please find some for me. Take a good look. This piece of leather is left here, please master make a pair for me to wear out."

The old master agreed and took the fox fur to the back.Before entering the back room, he pointed to the clerk and said to Liu Ya: "You can go to Fushun for the shopping. He knows the price of the things in the store and the leathers. I still have work to do, girl. You choose slowly."

Liu Ya heard a few words from this man named Fushun just now, and also felt that he is a good businessman. No wonder the masters of this store are relieved to entrust him with the business of selling goods.Bian turned to Fushun and said, "Then I will trouble you little brother."

Fushun smiled and said: "No trouble, it should be. But I don't know who is wearing this collar that the girl is going to buy? Although the collars are all the same size, if it is worn by a particularly strong man, you have to wear it. It's a plus size."

Liu Ya said: "For my sister, the normal size is fine. I don't care too much about the color, as long as the leather is good."

Fushun agreed, so he went to get some bibs and brought them out.Introduced to Liu Ya: "These two are mink fur, the fur is shorter, but the fur is particularly shiny. These are fox fur, which were all foxes from the first snowfall last winter. The needles are long and the fur is fluffy. They are also thick. These are all good products, and the ones that are a little worse are not for the girl."

Liu Ya understands that Fushun means that the price must not be cheap.But she is not short of money now, it is still possible to buy a better collar for Liu Xu'er.

Liu Ya looked at these collars, and chose a black mink fur collar and a silver fox collar.Both are good-looking, but it is a bit difficult for her to choose.On second thought, I might as well buy both, the silver fox for Liu Xu'er and the black mink for Xiao Shu'er.In winter, Xiao Shu'er will look good in a new padded jacket with a mink fur collar. "

Liu Ya asked: "I'm optimistic about these two, it's hard to choose. Brother, please give me the most affordable price. If I have enough money in my pocket, I will buy them all."

Fushun looked at the two fur collars that Liu Ya had chosen, raised his thumbs up and said, "Miss has a good eye. From the perspective of us sellers, these two collars are very good, no wonder The girl can't make up her mind. If the girl buys two together, the price will be one, two or three silver."

Two collars cost more than one or two taels of silver, which is more than half a year's expenses for ordinary people.

It's not that Liu Ya can't afford it, but she feels that the price is really a bit expensive.He asked again: "Then I just tanned fox fur, how much did I pay for making two collars? Let's figure it out together."
