Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

"Liu Banxian, do you know how busy I am?"

Su Jing picked up another bottle and carefully placed it on the shelf.

As soon as the words came out, Su Jing immediately felt that she shouldn't say that.

The reason why I most dislike coming to the capital is that I can't relax.

Because everyone in the capital knows his identity, they will always have a cautious attitude when facing him.

It was different when she was in Lishui County. The people around Su Jing could be very relaxed.

After arriving in the capital, his identity was exposed to Sun Ping, and no one around him could let go.

But Liu Banxian was an accident. Although he already knew the identity of Uncle Su Jingren, he was still very natural when getting along with him.

This is an important reason why Su Jing always wants to bring Liu Banxian with her. If there are some cautious guys around her, life will be too boring.

Therefore, Su Jing felt that what she said seemed to be too harsh.

"Uncle Ren Yuan, you are busy and I am busy too. Besides, you have arrived in the capital, so you must get familiar with it."

Liu Banxian didn't seem to notice the emphasis in Su Jing's words at all, so he laughed and took her over.

Su Jing looked at Liu Banxian carefully and said with a smile: "That's okay, just think of it as a visit to the capital."

"Let's go, Mr. Su."

Liu Banxian didn't delay at all, and took Su Jing to the street.

The streets of the capital are always bustling with activity, which is completely unmatched by Lishui County.

It's not that Lishui County isn't lively enough, it's just that the capital is big enough and has a large enough population.

Only in places with many people can there be enough traffic.

"Liu Banxian, why don't you seem to be afraid of me at all?"

While walking, Su Jing asked Liu Banxian.

Liu Banxian replied: "Master Su, you are a good person, why should I be afraid of a good person?"

"Good guy?"

Su Jing was stunned, but she didn't expect Liu Banxian to be given a good guy card.

"Then you mean that His Majesty is a bad person? When you saw His Majesty, you were so scared."

Su Jing said with a smile, only Liu Banxian could make such a joke.

Liu Banxian immediately said: "Master Su, you are wrong. Your Majesty cannot be described as a good person. I am afraid of Your Majesty because I have done something bad to Your Majesty."

Liu Banxian's answer was also slippery, and Su Jing could only smile.

This old fortune teller seems to not only have a unique side, but also has some wisdom derived from experience.

Originally, Su Jing was still thinking about clarifying the matter and asking the old man what he thought.

Now it seems that maybe some things are better left unclear.

Just like his fortune-telling skills, it seems a bit unfair to insist that he is a liar.

But how it was calculated, I am afraid no one except Liu Banxian knows.

While talking, the two of them arrived at the first tailor shop.

The store is quite large, and there are many styles of clothes displayed in it, and they are made of various materials.

Even though this is the capital, there are still only a few people wearing silk.

"What kind of clothes do you two guests want to wear? A robe or a lining, satin or linen."

As soon as I came in, the guys were already coming over to me.

As expected, the service in Beijing is not limited. As soon as people arrive, they are greeted immediately.

At the same time, there was no contempt for Su Jing and Liu Banxian because of their plain clothes, and the smiles on their faces were not forced at all.

"Master Su, look..."

Liu Banxian naturally left everything to Su Jing, since he didn't understand anyway.

Su Jing smiled and said, "No need to call us. Let's see for ourselves. If necessary, we will call you."

"Okay, guests, please help yourself."

The guy nodded and went to greet other customers.

Su Jing immediately started wandering around the store. He had never opened a tailor shop before.

Although there is Su's cloth shop in Lishui County, there is no Su's tailor shop.

One of the main reasons is that this tailor shop is a purely handicraft business, and the quality of the clothes made depends entirely on the craftsmanship of the tailor.

Without modern machinery, mass production is not possible.

The owner of a tailor shop is usually the tailor himself.

Su Jing doesn't know how to be a tailor, and she doesn't want to hire people to work for her, because it's not cost-effective to hire people to pay wages.

However, Su Jing still has a certain level of judgment on the level of tailoring.

"How about this style?"

Liu Banxian asked, pointing directly to a long gown on the wall. The main body was white.

Su Jing shook her head and said: "Liu Banxian, at your age, forget it. These clothes are for young people."

Liu Banxian's face immediately turned ugly: "Master Su, what do young people wear? Can't I, Liu Banxian, wear it?"

Su Jing nodded and said: "That's right, you can't wear it. The size of this dress needs to be expanded by at least one foot before it can fit on you. Think about it, will this dress look better if it is widened by one foot?"

As an old man, Liu Banxian is not very thin.

Of course, he is not a fat man, but the clothes he is referring to are quite slim-fitting, and only a thin man can wear them.

Liu Banxian is definitely inappropriate.

"That's it."

Liu Banxian imagined it for a moment, then immediately shook his head, then turned to another blue robe and said, "What about this one?"

Su Jing looked at it, nodded and said: "It can match you, but I looked at most of the clothes here and I don't really like the style of this tailor. Otherwise, let's find another one."

"style?"

Liu Banxian frowned and said, "Mr. Su, what do you mean by your style? Why can't I understand it?"

Su Jing explained: "It's personal characteristics. Every tailor has his own personal habits when making clothes. Maybe he doesn't care about it, but it will be reflected in the clothes."

"And I don't think the features of this store are very good, so we can leave."

In fact, when Su Jing first came to Ming Dynasty, she didn't think that the clothes of the ancients had many styles.

But after staying for a long time and opening my own cloth shop, I discovered that the ancients were actually very particular about clothes.

There are actually many types of clothes and different styles.

"Don't you need to ask about the price?"

Liu Banxian was still a little unwilling to give up, because he thought these clothes looked pretty good.

"No, let's go."

Su Jing shook her head and took Liu Banxian out directly.

Liu Banxian also understood that this tailor shop was not good.

The two of them searched forward for a while, and not long after, a second tailor shop appeared.

I went in and walked around, took a brief look and then came out again.

Then came the third, fourth...

Su Jing and Liu Banxian went into one house and came out again. "No, Mr. Su, I've looked at several of these, but isn't there any one that's more suitable?"

Even Liu Banxian, who wants to make clothes, is a little impatient now.

Su Jing said: "Liu Banxian, if you want to go to Xiangyun Pavilion with this dress, you can avoid being stopped, right? It must be high-end. Not only must it look good, but it must also be eye-catching."

Choosing a tailor based on the purpose is Su Jing's consistent standard for choosing clothes.

Liu Banxian said: "Mr. Su, you don't need to have such high standards. Anyway, you have to take off your clothes after entering."

……

As soon as Su Jing said this, she didn't know what to say.

After all, this makes sense.

"Then let's go to the next one."

Since Liu Banxian himself didn't care, Su Jing naturally wouldn't force it.

It didn't take long for me to wander around to the next tailor shop. After all, in such a big capital, the demand for clothes is still quite high.

It was good luck to say that the style of this tailor shop was Su Jing's favorite, and she quickly decided on the style.

The next thing is Liu Banxian's. After all, it is made of silk and satin, so it must be measured and there are some personal needs that need to be mentioned.

"Liu Banxian, then you stay here for now, I'll take a stroll around here."

Su Jing has been taking Liu Banxian around for so long, and she really has no interest in looking at any more clothes.

"Okay, Mr. Su, you don't have to wait for me anymore. I have something to do after this is over."

Liu Banxian said directly to Su Jing that now that he was officially settling down in the capital, he couldn't keep rubbing off on Su Jing.

Although Liu Banxian seems to be very casual with Su Jing, he takes Su Jing's side and lives with Su Jing's side as a matter of course.

But Liu Banxian has his own set of rules in his heart. Some things are just fine.

Licking your face and rubbing it will only ruin other people's feelings.

Su Jing nodded, then left the tailor shop and walked on the streets of the capital.

Su Jing didn't observe the streets of the capital very carefully because she had a purpose before.

Now that Liu Banxian's affairs were settled, Su Jing was not in a hurry to go back immediately. She came out and wandered around for a while.

"Ducks for sale, freshly baked ducks!"

"Shaobing! Shaobing! One penny each!"

"Candied haws on a stick! Candied haws on a stick! Two cents a bunch!"

……

On the streets, the cries for food are always the loudest.

There is no way around it. Having enough food has been the top priority for the people of all dynasties.

Food is the most important thing for the people, and hunger is an indelible memory for the people of Ming Dynasty today.

Su Jing chopped off a quarter of the duck, found a random place on the roadside, and ate it directly.

"Well, it tastes good!"

Su Jing was quite surprised after just one taste.

Although this is not the first time he has eaten roast duck in Jinling, it has been arranged by others before, so the taste will definitely not be bad.

But this time, he just randomly chose a shop on the street, and the taste was quite good.

This reminded Su Jing of the question of which Nanjing roast duck restaurant was the best in her previous life. The answer was often the one downstairs in her community.

It now seems that starting from the Ming Dynasty, the answer to this question has been decided.

After eating the duck, Su Jing's eyes were attracted by a cloth shop.

Su's cloth shop was the industry where Su Jing made her fortune after coming to Ming Dynasty. Su Jing still remembered clearly that he improved the loom and used advanced looms to directly drive down the price of cloth.

This was the rise of Su's cloth shop.

So Su Jing was naturally a little interested in meeting Bu Xing.

After wiping her mouth, Su Jing stepped into the store called 'Cao's Cloth Shop'.

This shop is much larger than Su's Cloth Store, and it is filled with a dazzling array of cloths.

As before, Su Jing pushed the waiter away and looked at the cloth in the store silently.

In terms of the types of printing and dyeing patterns, Cao's cloth shop produces much more cloth than Su's cloth shop.

However, Su Jing carefully looked at the weaving method of the cloth and the printing and dyeing process, and there was still a gap compared with Su's Cloth Shop.

Su Jing is not surprised. In terms of styles, it's not that Su's Cloth Shop doesn't have enough, but Su Jing's selection standards are very high. Many patterns that are not good-looking are all rejected by Su Jing.

As for the weaving method of the cloth, it is naturally because the new loom is more effective, and the printing and dyeing process, Su Jing has directly surpassed an era.

“Boss, can’t these cloths be made cheaper?”

"Miss, this can't be cheaper, this is already the lowest price."

"Boss, I am also new to the capital. I bought these cloths for business. If it is cheaper, I will buy it."

"Miss, it's not that I don't want to sell it, but I really can't sell it at this price. Why don't you look at other ones?"

……

A burst of tugging sounds from customers and shopkeepers rang in Su Jing's ears.

Su Jing didn't care much at first, because this kind of thing is too common in business, so bargaining is inevitable.

"Miss, the price of these pieces of cloth is five taels of silver, which is really too much. Otherwise, let's forget it."

……

The man next to the young lady said something, causing Su Jing to turn her head and look over.

Five taels of silver to buy cloth, although it is not an exaggeration, but from the interaction between the young lady and the shopkeeper just now, it can be seen that the other party is not the type with strong financial resources.

So Su Jing took a curious look, and after just one glance, he frowned.

"Shopkeeper, do you want to sell these cloths for five taels of silver?"

Su Jing came directly to the counter and asked, pointing to the cloth held by the girl next to her.

And this girl is Zhiyi.

The shopkeeper glanced at Su Jing and said, "Guest, if you want to buy cloth, then buy it. If you don't, don't delay my business."

"Of course I want to buy it, just these pieces of cloth in the hands of this young lady."

Su Jing said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Tashi immediately said: "What are you doing? These pieces of cloth are from my young lady..."

"Tashi!"

Zhiyi immediately stopped Tashi's words and said, "I will give these pieces of cloth to this young master today."

Su Jing turned to look at Zhiyi, nodded slightly, and looked at each other. He knew that the girl in front of him was not stupid.

Tashi was stunned for a moment, he still didn't understand what it meant, but he always obeyed Zhiyi's words unconditionally.

"Then thank you girl."

Su Jing nodded slightly, turned to the boss again and said: "Boss, these pieces of cloth should cost about three taels of silver."

As a practitioner, Su Jing is very aware of the cost of these cloths, and naturally knows how much the other party can make by selling them.

Three taels of silver, this price is right at the bottom line that the other party can accept.

As soon as the quotation came out, the shopkeeper's face and Tashi's face immediately changed. (End of chapter)
