The weather was hot and there were not many customers. The people from the nearby shops were all lazily lying on the workbench, completely disinterested. Suddenly, he heard the noise from the crowd, so he tilted his head to take a look. For some reason, there were a lot of people outside the door. He thought that something big had happened, so he rushed to the door to greet them with a smile. The crowd escorted a dirty-looking youth to the front door of Long Hai Bu Zhuang.
The shop assistant was quite quick-witted, his eyebrows raised as he smiled and said, "Fellow villagers, what kind of day are you on today? Are you here to pick ingredients?" As he spoke, he swept his gaze across the group with a smile, except for Liu'er. Liu'er was slightly angered as she thought, "I am the one who should be changing clothes the most since my clothes are tattered." If you ask others but don't ask me, aren't you looking down on me? " Just as he was about to get angry, he heard someone in the crowd say with a laugh, "Today is a good day to watch a good show. Coming out one after another, it's so exciting!" Another person said, "No, no! Today was the day to get rich! "Spending money to watch a show is worth money!"
Everyone kept talking and trying to get something out of it while watching the show. Liu'er saw that these villagers were stupid and stupid, all for their own benefit, not for their own good. She smiled bitterly to herself, thinking: "These people are like the sand on the ground, scattering with a single breeze. No wonder Gongsun Mu can call the wind and summon the rain in this little White Pond Town." He then said to the shop assistant, "I don't know whether or not you will make a fortune today, but I am going to make a fortune now." With that, he walked into the cloth manor.
The waiter hurriedly stopped her, saying, "It's fine if my fellow villagers are just teasing me, but why would a beggar come and join in on the fun!?" "This store..." Before he could finish his sentence, Liu'er had already placed her left hand in front of him. When the shop assistant saw the silver ingot, his eyes went wide. His facial expression changed as he grinned and said, "I have eyes but am unable to see Mount Tai. This master should come in quickly!" Saying that, she followed him in. She stopped at the table next to the coarse hemp garment and asked: "What kind of clothes does this grandpa want? "These materials came on the same day. They were so light and breathable. Wearing them on such a sultry day felt so comfortable!"
Liu'er saw how many times he had looked down on her, and her anger rose from her heart. He silently circulated his internal force between his feet and quietly lifted up the soil particles from the ground and hid them in his palms. He walked to the shop assistant's side and touched it. He shook his head and said, "You are too dishonest! Confucius said: "If the one who does not believe in his will does not answer, the one who does not believe in his words will not be able to do so. It is difficult to sell cloth in the future!" The shop assistant did not want to pay any attention to him, so when she heard his insulting words, she stuck out her nose and asked, "Don't be sarcastic, sir. How am I dishonest?"
Liu'er chuckled and pointed at the white linen cloth. "You said that this cloth was newly arrived today. Why is there so much dust on it?" If it's not a lie, then what is it? " When the people outside the shop heard this, they raised their heads and looked. The shop assistant's face was filled with anger as he said, "Nonsense! "This …" Before he could finish his sentence, he saw some dust fall down from the white linen cloth, staining the cloth a little dirty.
The shop assistant was shocked, not knowing why. He suddenly thought of Liu'er who had come in to touch him, and seeing that there was not a single clean spot on his body, decided that he had smeared the cloth black, and scolded: "Little beggar! You're the one who dirtied this cloth, hurry up and compensate me with money! " Liu'er spread out her hands and pretended to be helpless as she said, "This young lad is not only not sincere, he's also a bit unreasonable." The villagers clearly saw that this young master's body was dirty, but his hands were white and tender. How could you say that I was the one who dirtied your cloth? " It turned out that he had washed his hands clean while he was eating at the Flowing Phoenix Restaurant. After finishing the leek box on the way, his hands were greasy without any dirt.
He had already smeared all the dirt on the linen cloth, so how could the shop assistant have noticed how fast and nimble Liu'er's speed was?
The shop assistant looked at his hands. They were not as dirty as they were on his body. He did not understand why there was dirt on the linen and decided to stay still for six years. With both hands on his arm, he cursed, "No one enters this shop. Who else could it be but you? Hurry and compensate! " Liu'er said, "Who dares to enter this underworld shop of yours?" I'm not buying anymore, let go! " How could the guy let him go? She tugged at his arm. He pulled on the clothes of Liu'er's left arm, and a "hiss" was heard.
Liu'er smirked and said: "Aha!" You tore my clothes! You have to compensate me! " The crowd began to laugh as they heard him make a ruckus. The shop assistant was anxious and angry. He scolded angrily, "Little bastard Sun, you came to your grandfather's shop to act like a scoundrel!" As he spoke, he tore Liu'er's left arm, intending to snatch the silver from her. Liu'er pretended to avoid the attack, but she actually did her best. She raised her left hand and hit the back of the shop assistant's hand. With a "pa" sound, she slapped the shop assistant.
The shop assistant could not take it anymore. With a "bang", he laid on the table and spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the colorful fabric with blood. The shop assistant was infuriated. He grabbed the measuring ruler by his hand and swung it at Liu'er's head. "Where did this motherless little bastard come from?!" Liu'er hated these words the most. She flew into a rage after hearing Shi Yan's words, and kicked him in the chest with her right foot. How could the shop assistant be a match for him? With two "peng peng" sounds, he was already sent flying and heavily crashed into the side wall.
The fellow groaned, almost gasped for breath, and looked as if he were about to die. Liu'er cried out in regret and hurried to the side of the man, pushing his chest twice with her right palm. Only then did the man let out a "wow" and spit out a large mouthful of blood. Liu'er thought to herself, "A debt has its owner. Although this person is a bit unruly and unreasonable, he is still just a shop assistant. My actions are a bit too harsh." Sigh! You shouldn't have called me a bastard. " Looking at the terrified shop assistant, he thought that he would have to stay calm in future and not act so rashly.
Liu'er felt guilty as she threw the silver taels at him: "This silver taels is for your treatment. I will admit that I did not dirty the cloth. I will compensate you with the cloth." The chest and ribs of the shop assistant were broken, and he was so scared that he could not speak. He could only stare at him in horror, like a pitiful mouse that had seen a group of hungry cats. Liu'er continued, "I'll compensate you for your injuries. You still haven't paid for my clothes." As he spoke, he stood up and looked around. He pointed to a dark green brocade at the top and said, "I like that one. I don't mind it. I'll give that cloth to me."
From top to bottom, they were: brocade, silk, silk, satin, linen, and coarse cloth. Liu'er's clothes were a set of linen clothes that Zhao Lingqiu had found for him in the farmyard. He had taken a fancy to this dark green brocade. If he wanted to use the lowest quality fabric to exchange for the highest, how could anyone else be willing to do so?
In fact, this brocade is also not for sale. Although Gongsun Mu is rich, but how expensive is brocade? The ones in the shop were used for show, or as a form of hospitality for nobles.
The shop assistant was shocked and frightened. Before he could reply, he heard a laugh from behind him: "This gentleman has good eyes, this piece of cloth is perfect for me!" After that, he heard 'cha-cha' sounds continuously, like the sound of metal scraping against metal. Liu'er's heart went cold. "Manager Duan?"
