Chapter 78 Return to Beijing for Purchase ([-])
The proprietress was waiting by the back door. She was very happy to see that yesterday's big businessman really came on time. She quickly opened the two door panels to guide the mule cart into the yard, and then closed the door and latched it to prevent the neighbors from snooping.

The boss heard the movement in the backyard and came out to greet them. With sharp eyes, the couple saw that the new dress on the guest was the fabric that was sold yesterday. The old tailor, thinking that if he is good at dealing with him today, there may be such business opportunities in the future, so he greeted him more enthusiastically.

Qi Ke exchanged pleasantries with the couple for a while and turned to the topic. The shopkeeper brought a list and quoted a total price. The cotton and linen materials worn by ordinary people are not expensive, but the plain silk fabrics are expensive. Although the quantity is small, the price can be calculated. It was quite a lot, so the total price exceeded 500 taels of silver. Qi Ke took out the bag of broken silver from the car and asked the boss to weigh it.

The boss was determined to make friends with this generous guest. He called the money on the spot, and then took out the expensive silk fabrics and asked Qi Ke to take them back. In the carriage, the piles of fabric are neatly yarded like a wall.

The carriage was full, but the silk fabrics were still not finished, so Qi Ke and the boss wrote down the amount of cash that needs to be replenished and the amount of supply left on the delivery deed, and agreed that she would come back with silver in an hour. , led the mule cart away.

At this time, there are already people coming and going on the street. It is not good for Qi Ke to disappear from the previous dark alley. He has to walk along the street for a while, and encounter the next alley that no one passes by, and then flash back to the thousand Dutch border.

A carload of silk fabrics was brought back directly into the basement. In this era, there were no chemical fiber fabrics. They were all natural textures, which would age over time, especially silk fabrics, which could not be used if they were not stored properly.

After collecting the fabrics, Qi Ke went back upstairs to change into work clothes, wrapped herself tightly, and started the daily farm work that must be done every day. When the time was almost up, she changed back to her clothes, washed her hands and face, and took the money to drive there. The cloth shop continues to pick up the goods.

Based on the inventory of the cloth shop, the shop owner is actually very happy to find a few vehicles to deliver the goods to the door at one time, but Qi is not happy, because she does not plan to hide the goods from the warehouse, so she wants to carry it back and forth several times by herself. Pulled down, the store will let her.

Just going back and forth like this, it took a long time, Qi Ke emptied the cloth shop, and the shopkeeper bundled up all the cloth ends as agreed to send her to make a topping, but the toppings were half stuffed. The last part of the carriage was tied to the luggage rack at the rear of the car because it couldn't fit in. Qi Ke took the mule and walked down the alley. When he caught an empty alley, he immediately flashed into the Thousand Lotus Realm.

After unloading the car, Qi Ke took the mule cart and continued on the street. She heard from the couple in the cloth shop that there was an old-fashioned soy sauce shop nearby. Vinegar is a must, but the price of grain in Beijing has been rising again and again recently, and the shop is about to run out of business.

Qi Ke became interested and looked for it all the way, and found that the shop was indeed a dying scene. The door of the shop was half-open, and the young man guarding the shop was thin, sitting behind the stall bowing his head and dozing off, without any energy to shout about business. .
