Chapter 83 Shopping(1/2)
More than an hour later, Li Chunfeng poured a lot of tea and returned to the inn. Standing at the door of the room, he hesitated for a while, and decided not to knock on the door. He turned around and walked towards the room next to him.
"Come in." Li's stunning voice came out through the door.
Li Chunfeng was delighted and turned around and opened the door. When he entered the room, he realized that the screen that had been separated from the living room and the inner room had been moved to the door and had a view at some point.
Li Chunfeng was stunned and stood at the door and hesitated. He didn't know if he should go in. If the senior sister didn't finish the bath, then she would walk over rashly, and things would be very important. But then she thought about it, since she asked herself to come in, she said that she had finished taking a bath.
"Sit." Fortunately, Li Jingyan saved the siege for him.
Li Chunfeng coughed lightly and turned the screen. He saw Li Jingyan sitting at the table at a glance.
It was a completely different beauty from Li Jingyan who was wearing Taoist robe or dressed in a dress. The beauty in front of her was plain face facing the sky, and she didn't even have her hair bun. She just let her long hair like a flowing cloud draped behind her. She was only wearing a long robe, and the outer robe originally covered outside was placed on the bed casually. The thin clothes completely showed the thrilling curves of its owner. If Li Jingyan in Taoist robe looked like a snow lotus growing on the top of the mountain clouds, then after dressing, she was the blooming rose, and at this moment, she looked more like a lotus coming out of water.
It's extremely beautiful.
Li Chunfeng stood aside, not knowing where to put his eyes.
"Sit down." Li Jingyan turned her head and looked at him and said again.
"Yes, hey." Li Chunfeng scratched his head and sat down as Li Jingyan said, and a misty fragrance immediately floated across from him.
"Have you gone to the teahouse?" Li Jingyan said softly without any discomfort.
"Yeah." Li Jingyan nodded in a daze.
“How come you get?”
"Ah? Ah." Li Chunfeng nodded and continued: "The harvest is really not small."
"Wait and talk about it." Li Jingyan waved her hand and signaled outside the door.
Li Chunfeng gathered his ears and immediately heard the footsteps coming downstairs. He knew that it was the waiter who brought people up to collect the bath water. He quickly stood up and put the screen by the door back to its original position.
Li Jingyan had just entered the inner room and the knock on the door started.
"Keep, your tea." Opening the door, it was the smiling face that made people look down on you.
"Put it on the table." Li Chunfeng nodded. Then he went back to the table and watched the two big men who had just arrived lift the wooden barrel out again.
"Customer, please use it slowly."
After the waiter went out, Li Chunfeng poured Li Jingyan a cup of tea. As soon as the tea was poured, Li Jingyan appeared at the table.
"Senior sister, listen to me when you drink tea." Li Chunfeng smiled and handed the teacup over.
Li Jingyan took the teacup and nodded, indicating that he could start.
"First of all, the situation is a bit unfavorable to our plan." Li Chunfeng thought for a while.
Li Jingyan took a sip of tea, but did not make a sound, but instead signaled Li Chunfeng to continue with his eyes.
Li Chunfeng said: "Because since business travelers disappeared in the golden trade routes in the desert in the past few months, the merchants here have become frightened birds. They are unwilling to enter the desert at will. But driven by interests, there are still a small number of people willing to take risks. But they dare not enter the desert alone. So, they came up with a way, which is to form a caravan. Several or even a dozen merchants went in together. Sure enough, nothing happened in the past few days. So other merchants also wanted to follow suit. At the same time, the army also decided to send small groups of soldiers to escort, and the safety of the merchants was hired by the merchants was greatly enhanced compared to before. But in this way, although the interests of the people were guaranteed, it was difficult for us to catch big fish."
Li Jingyan nodded and asked, "What else?"
"Also, our luck is not too bad. Because according to the news I found out, the countries in the west are just short of silk. Due to the incident here, there have been no silk being shipped to the Western Regions for nearly two months. Although several merchants have sold orders through caravans this time, the goods are still very in short supply. My fake Mr. Li San happened to be a slaughter. Therefore, if you want to pretend to be a fat sheep, it is just an opportunity now."
After hearing this, Li Jingyan frowned, obviously trying to analyze the situation in front of her. But she gave up soon. She looked up at Li Chunfeng and said, "What do you think?"
"The current situation has its advantages and disadvantages for us. I still say the same thing, adapt to the situation. My idea is like this, prepare the goods first. It creates the illusion that we are going to leave the customs. Then see when the senior brother comes to contact us. After hearing his thoughts, he will decide the next way to go." Li Chunfeng pondered for a moment.
Li Jingyan said happily: "Then do what you said. I just have a problem."
Li Chunfeng said: "Senior sister, please speak."
"Where are you going to get goods? You should know that this is not a restaurant for dinner, and you can't do it without a tens of thousands of taels of silver. Besides, I don't think you know the market very well. But I can only tell the quality of the ingredients. As for the price, it's okay to negotiate." Li Jingyan said slowly.
"We don't need to really purchase goods." Li Chunfeng smiled and continued: "Just make others think we have goods."
After saying that, he looked at Li with a stunning smile.
"You have a way? Then do it. What do you need me to do?" Li Jingyan nodded.
This attitude disappointed Li Chunfeng, who originally wanted to keep his word, and had to say unhappy: "There is no need for the big thing to do, but I still have to do a small favor."
"Tell me."
"No hurry, let's have a meal first. What kind of dishes are senior sister who likes to eat, I'll order them." Li Chunfeng said with a smile.
Li Jingyan casually reported several names of dishes. Li Chunfeng wrote them down one by one in his heart. Then he went downstairs and explained to the waiter, asking them to bring them to the room.
Without Su Chen, he was thinking about the afternoon, so Li Chunfeng certainly didn't ask for wine. So the meal was also very boring.
After finally having a meal, the waiter came to clean up and changed into a pot of tea. Li Chunfeng said, "Please dress up, let's go out for a walk in the afternoon, buy a few clothes, and see if there are any good materials."
Li Jingyan nodded, drank tea, and then stood up and turned to the back of the screen. Soon, when it appeared again, he returned to the gorgeous beauty.
Li Chunfeng nodded with satisfaction and smiled: "Senior sister is so beautiful. I'm afraid that people's focus will be everywhere."
Li Jingyan listened to his words and glanced at him. Then she took out the gauze from her arms and covered her face, covering her peerless face.
Li Chunfeng nodded and stood up and said, "It's much better this way. I see that there are many alien women on the street, all covered with veils. We won't look too eye-catching when we go out like this."
Li Jingyan obviously didn't want to get involved with him on this issue and whispered: "Can you leave?"
Li Chunfeng hurriedly jumped over and opened the door, and said with a smile: "Senior sister, please."
The two went downstairs and met the waiter head-on.
Seeing Li Jingyan, Xiao Er's eyes lit up obviously, but immediately looked away with politeness and asked Li Chunfeng with a smile, "Is this the uncle going out?"
"Yeah." Li Chunfeng nodded, then asked: "What is the most prosperous and lively place in this setting sun pass?"
The waiter replied almost without thinking: "It is naturally Xingyang Street in the outer city. It is not only the largest market in the entire Xingyangguan, but also the place with the most large shops in the entire city."
"Okay, just go there. It's not far away." Li Chunfeng said with a smile.
The waiter replied: "It's not too far, but it's not too close."
Li Chunfeng laughed and scolded: "You guy, saying that means you didn't say anything. Forget it, go and hire a carriage."
"Okay, please wait at the back door. Our store has its own carriage, which is specially for customers." The waiter said with a smile.
"This is the reason why it is close or not. Go quickly." Li Chunfeng smiled suddenly.
"Yes, I'll go here." The waiter beat a thousand and went in two steps.
Li Chunfeng led Li Jingyan towards the back door.
The waiter in this shop is really ineffective in doing things. Almost as soon as the two arrived at the back door, the carriage arrived. The two of them didn't say much and got on the carriage.
After the carriage had left for a while, he stopped. Li Chunfeng jumped out of the carriage first and smiled and said to Li behind him, "Sure enough, it's not far away. How much effort is there? If I ask me, it's only a stick of incense to come over."
Li Jingyan ignored him and looked behind Li Chunfeng.
Li Chunfeng also turned his head to look with her eyes. After seeing it, he couldn't help but think that at least the waiter had a truth.
Behind them was a wide street, with taverns and restaurants on the side. The pedestrians passing by on the street can be described as one after another. As for hawkers, there are countless vendors setting up stalls. Of course, since this place is already a trade port on the border, people from the Western Regions can also be seen everywhere on this street with red beards and thick eyebrows.
"Wow, it's so lively." Li Chunfeng smiled, then turned around and said to the coachman: "You just wait here. We'll have to take your car back later." Of course, there was a silver note as the words passed.
The coachman took the silver note with joy and nodded hurriedly, "Yes, uncle. The young man parked the car next to the teahouse there. If you two come back and don't see the small one in the car, the young man will definitely drink tea in the teahouse."
Li Chunfeng looked along his fingers and saw that it was a semi-open-air tea shop on the side of the road, so he nodded.
After the driver drove away, Li Chunfeng turned around and said to Li Jingyan: "Okay. Let's go. There is really a day when I haven't gone shopping."
Li nodded in a stunning manner, followed Li Chunfeng into the long street, and said casually: "The Zhuque Street in the capital is still more lively than here."
"Hey, that's it." Li Chunfeng was about to sweat. He didn't even know where the capital was, let alone Zhuque Street.
"Look, there is a ready-to-wear shop." In order to change the topic, Li Chunfeng quickly pointed to a sign not far away and said.
Li Jingyan did not doubt that he was there. He looked in the direction Li Chunfeng pointed to and saw that it was a large shop with a considerable scale, so he nodded.
Soon, the two of them were already standing in the shop. Looking at the full of clothes in the house, Li Chunfeng was a little confused and looked at it. There were no male guests. Then he said to Li on the pretext of an excuse: "It seems that there is no man here. It is not convenient for me to pick up clothes here. So, I'd better wait at the door. Fortunately, my senior brother and I have similar statures, so just look at the two of us to pick up a few pieces."
Li Jingyan looked at him with big eyes, blinked twice and said, "But I don't know his stature?"
"Ah?" Li Chunfeng was so amused and crying.
"Boss." Li Jingyan ignored him and shouted loudly into the counter.
"Here you come." An echo came from the counter. Then a short, fat middle-aged man walked out from behind the counter and came to the front of the two and said, "What are your instructions?"
Li Jingyan pointed at Li Chunfeng with her hand and said, "Pick about his figure. Choose a dozen sets of clothes. You can match the styles and colors. You can wrap them all afterwards."
"Ah?" Li Chunfeng shouted.
How could anyone buy clothes like this? Not only him, but even the boss looked at the two of them with a look of surprise.
Li looked at Li Chunfeng with a stunning look and said, "Why don't you choose?"
"Forget it. Let's do it as you said. Then let it be for you, boss. Remember to choose the popular styles nowadays." Li Chunfeng was so angry when he heard this.
It’s a joke, he is a loser. He usually stays at home and finds some cheap discounts on Taobao to buy it. Now he has to choose luxury goods by himself? He also picks more than ten sets at once. He doesn’t know how to wear it in this era. It would be strange if he doesn’t make any mistakes.
"It's better to obey your orders than respect." The boss nodded and smiled. Then he turned to look at Li Jingyan and said, "What else does this lady have to ask for?"
Li Chunfeng looked at the scene in front of him and thought to himself that the merchants were indeed snobbish. He quickly decided who had the final say.
"Let me see it myself. Go and do his job." Li Jingyan said softly. After saying that, he walked into the store directly. Li Chunfeng had no choice but to go to the door to bask in the sun and stare blankly. But driven by boredom and curiosity, he still pricked up a pair of ears.
"If you wrap this piece, you also need this piece, and there is one piece over there."
