Yipin Village Girl: Pick up an emperor to farm

Chapter 68 Buying Cloth
"Do you want to buy cloth?" An Dali was very surprised to hear this. It's not the New Year's day, why did Chun Zhi think of buying cloth?
"I bought cloth so early because I want to get married!? Are you planning to buy a dowry in advance?"

"Hi! Uncle, I didn't expect that you, an honest person, would still make fun of me. I want to wear a new cotton coat, but this one is too thin." Lu Xuening actually disliked it because it was too old.And it was worn by someone else, so she felt uncomfortable.

"Oh, if you're buying cloth, it's just on the way. I'll just take you there. I'm going to send embroidery to your aunt and the others. There's a cloth shop next door."

"Okay, I'll trouble Uncle."

When I arrived at the embroidery shop, there was indeed a cloth shop next to it, named Jixiang Silk Cloth Shop.When Uncle Dali went to settle the embroidery work, she walked into the cloth shop.

"Little girl, what do you want to buy?" The boss asked enthusiastically.

"Oh, boss, I want to make a padded coat, see if there is any suitable material." Lu Xuening answered while looking at the cloth on the counter.There are not many good cloths in it, but there are only a dozen pieces of cloth in total.

"Oh, you are going to make cotton clothes. Let's take a look at these two pieces of cloth. These cotton cloths are selling too fast recently, and there are not many left. See if you like any of them."

The boss pointed to a few pieces of cotton fabric on the side and said that this kind of plain fabric is darker in color and basically has no colors, but the advantage is that it is cheap and durable.It is the first choice of ordinary country people.The boss has been in business for a long time, and generally he can know what kind of fabric the other party needs by looking at people.

Lu Xuening touched it with her hand, the material was good, she didn't have much money, she originally planned to buy a piece of ordinary cloth, but the color of this fabric was too dark, one piece was gray and the other was dark blue.It looks like a men's fabric.

"Boss, this color is too dark, isn't there any lighter color?"

"Oh! Well, you don't know. Recently, I don't know if it's because of the cold weather or why. Suddenly, there are a lot of people who buy this kind of material, and many of them are foreigners. The cloth in my shop has been sold out a few days ago. It was only recently that I asked someone to come here, and there are only these two colors." The boss explained, thinking that the little lady might not be able to see the two pieces of cloth well.It's a pity, but there's nothing I can do about it.

"Outsiders? Are there any outsiders on our side?" Lu Xuening asked curiously.

"In the past two months, something seems to have happened in the Yinqi Mountain area. Many Xia people have come. Their climate is warm and not as cold as ours. So when they came here, they didn't bring many cotton coats. They couldn't bear the cold. , this means that there are a lot of people who buy materials, but they don't buy expensive materials, they all buy cheap and strong ones, which is a bit strange." The boss said, people who are away from home should not all buy It's Bai Ding, besides, Xia Kingdom is better off than Xifeng Kingdom, so some of them must be rich!Why not buy his satin?

"People from the Xia Kingdom? How do you know they are from the Xia Kingdom?"

"The people of Xia Kingdom can tell right away. They are a little fairer than us and shorter. The climate over there is warm and humid, so their skin is better than the people here, unlike us Xifeng people who are exposed to the wind and sun all day long." .And the most important thing is that people from the Xia Kingdom speak in a softer and lighter tone. But we Xifeng people are really refreshing!"

"Hey, is there a treasure out of Yinqi Mountain?" Lu Xuening joked gossipingly.

"It's hard to say. It's okay if the treasure really comes out. At least we can be more lively here, and the business can be done better. But it doesn't seem like it. If there is a treasure, the government can't ask the people of Xia to dig it casually." The shop owner also agreed. A chatty girl, there were no other customers in the store at the moment, seeing this little girl talking interestingly, I chatted with her.
