Chapter 301

Xu Qing: "I don't know how to make clothes. When I go to the clothing shop in the city of Jizhou tomorrow, how about having someone design some sets for us? The boss, the apprentice and the assistant are all distinguished by their clothes, so as not to confuse them. "

Li Changting: "OK, let's design some."

Xu Qing: "then you remember to ask about some famous tailors."

Li Changting answered vaguely, put people in his arms and closed his eyes.

Xu Qing was also sleepy. He found a comfortable position and quickly went to sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Changting left the town with his carriage and drove to Shengzhou City not far away. He arrived at Shenzhou in the afternoon.

As soon as he entered the city, Xu Qing was surprised by the bustling scene in the city.

"There are a lot of people here!"

"It's said that people from the surrounding villages are gathered here to provide them with houses and fields. Even the rich are farming their own fields." Li Changting explained.

He drove to an inn, which was very lonely.

Li Changting's two subordinates seemed to have known that their eldest brother would come to the Inn and had been waiting in it.

"Chen Song / Du Dayao met the boss and his wife." Two young people of the same age as Li Changting clasped their fists and saluted.

"Hello." Xu Qing nodded with a smile. They had met in Xinghu before, but they didn't know each other very well.

Later, Xu Qing learned that Chen song was a businessman, handsome and noble. He opened two Green Mansions, a bank and several small shops in Shengzhou. He was not as famous as those famous families, but he was also a little famous.

Du Dayao is a little fat man. When he smiles, he is naive. He works as a civilian in the state capital, helping to draft some documents, file some files and so on.

"Don't stay in the inn, boss. I have several yards there. You can choose." Chen Song said, "now there are many houses in the city, and there is no shortage of space to live. It's better to rent a small yard than an inn."

Hearing this, Li Changting nodded: "go to arrange a small courtyard."

Chen Song said with a smile, "yes."

Then Li Changting followed Chen Song and Du Dayao to a small courtyard near the market.

It's far away from the market, surrounded by main streets and shops.

The lane road is spacious and clean. Every family has its own door and courtyard. This small courtyard is in the middle. It is not a big place, but it is carefully arranged.

Chen Song fully understood Li Changting's intention of keeping a low profile, so he arranged this courtyard early. The location here is excellent, and it's convenient to go out. It's also convenient for Xu Qing to set up a stall to sell cakes.

When entering the city, Li Changting and Xu Qing took all the things they needed out of the space and put them in the carriage and van. Li Changting drove the carriage into the courtyard, and Chen Song and Du Dayao helped unload the things on the carriage and move them into the house.

One of the boxes was very heavy. Xu Qing said, "you don't have to move it. Just put it here. The contents are for you. Open it and have a look."

When Chen Song opened the box and saw the two frozen pork in it, they were shocked.

"This..." They looked at Li Changting in bewilderment, "is this a gift? This It's too expensive. "

You know, the price of pork outside is so expensive that even the rich can't afford it, and there is only a little meat every day, and it's sold out.

Poultry like chickens, ducks and rabbits are good. Every family has raised a lot of them, but not everyone can afford pigs.

Chen song is not short of money, but it's hard to buy it. Most of the meat is taken away by those big families, not to mention Du Dayao's meager salary. He usually goes to his brother's house to eat meat at most. At first sight, it's very hot to see so much meat.

Xu Qing said: "how can we not bring some gifts when we come here? This is our own pig. I'll bring it to you for a taste. Take it back and eat it as soon as possible. If we can't finish it, we'll pickle it."

"OK, thank you very much, madam

Li Changting asked, "where are they, Huling?"

Chen Song replied, "they rent a yard, which is a little bit too far from here. They usually take delivery of goods nearby, and they are secretly inquiring about Shengzhou City."

Li Changting nodded that he knew. He said to the two humanitarians, "give me a list of the money, grain and salt reserves in Shengzhou, the number and strength of the garrison, and the officials and commanders of all parties as soon as possible."

"Yes," they said

Chen Song said: "when I go back, I will arrange two people to serve and deliver messages. The staff that the boss wants us to train are almost ready to use. They can be sent at any time."

Li Changting: "well."

Chen Song and Du Dayao are sent back. Li Changting picks up his things, locks the door and takes Xu Qing out.

It's too late to sell cakes today. They plan to go to the clothing shop first.

There are more than ten clothing shops in Shengzhou. Xu Qing and Li Changting look at them from family to family. Xu Qing mainly looks at the clothes hanging from the shops. From the clothes, we can see the craftsmanship, aesthetics and creativity of the tailor.Xu Qing patiently went through 14 shops, and finally picked out the two with the best craftsmanship and workmanship, which are also very famous clothing shops in Shengzhou.

According to the clerk in the shop, in the past, the clothes made by the tailor were calculated according to the inch. One inch is worth several Liang silver. The craftsmanship and embroidery are absolutely unknown!

But now the business is depressed, so the price will be much cheaper than before. It's a good opportunity not to be missed.

Xu Qing chose one of the two families at random and tried it first. If he didn't do it well, he would change another one.

The tailor in the shop is about thirty years old. He is thin and capable. This is his first big business in several months. As soon as he comes up, he says that he wants the best fabrics, that he wants to be handsome and beautiful, and that he wants to have a unique style. If he does well, it will not be a problem.

The tailor himself is a serious character, and now he is doing his best.

Xu Qing and Li Changting are invited to the living room in the backyard. The tailor takes out the paper and pen Xu Qing asked for. Xu Qing first writes down her requirements. She is afraid that the master and Li Changting can't remember them, so she writes down what she can think of.

Xu Qing said: "I'm a pastry maker. The most taboo thing in making pastries is messy. So I want to unify the clothes for the apprentices and clerks at the bottom. It's also the logo of our qingtingfang. It's the only one."

The master nodded: "I choose the cloth or you choose it? What color do you want? "

Xu Qing: "you first pick out some, and then I'll choose. We must have the best and most suitable fabric. It's not the most expensive and gorgeous. It must be suitable for us. Color I like white and blue. It's the best for pastry makers to wear white. It looks clean and tidy, but white is a little taboo, so add some totems on it to beautify it. By the way, we also need to embroider the logo design and text of qingtingfang. "
