Next door to the cotton shop was a tavern.

There were three or five men staggering outside the tavern door, and among them was a donor who impressed the little nun very deeply.

"Hey, isn't that thanking the donor?!"

It turned out to be the donor of 5,000 taels from Xie Ji'an.

When meeting an acquaintance, the little nun was extremely polite and walked over quickly to say hello.

"Thank you, benefactor."

Look, she's waving to her.

Xie Ji'an is a dandy. He either goes to the pub to drink or goes to the flower house to find girls all day long.

Because he went to Hualou yesterday and was discovered by his father, who gave him a severe beating. He didn't dare to go to Hualou again today. He wanted to have a drink first...

Now I'm getting ready to go to the theater!

A man who was traveling with him said, "Ji'an, I heard that the troupe is also full of beauties. Let's go there and have a look."

There were others nearby who echoed.

"Yes, I heard that there were many former eldest ladies in the troupe who were exiled because of family crimes. Not only were they beautiful..."

"He also plays the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is proficient in everything."

Although Xie Ji'an, an idiot like me, often visits the Flower House, he doesn't go to the Flower House to sleep, he goes there to listen to the piano.

This guy doesn't have any big hobbies, he just likes to listen to the piano.

There is a girl in the old madam's flower house who is very good at playing the piano. She is not very good-looking, but she has good piano skills...

What to say?

I was really deceived by Xie Ji'an and made me confused!

Only then would he go to Hualou often.

These young gentlemen all know about his hobby, and every time he goes out to play, Xie Jian is the one who pays the bill.

This time I went to the theater, and of course they wanted to pay for it.

Then you have to do what you like!

Xie Ji'an is just a silly person. Hearing that there was a beautiful girl in the troupe who could play the piano, he immediately followed them out.

Who would have thought...

Let him stand still first, open his eyes and take a closer look at who is this person greeting him?

Does it look familiar?

The little nun was cute and well-behaved. When she saw the donor thanking her, her face turned red and her eyes were still drowsy. She thought he was also a little blind?

She took a few steps forward.

This is because she wants people to see her clearly!

Afraid that the donor had only seen her once and might have forgotten her, she still blinked her incomparably cute big eyes.

It's rare to see cubs as cute as her.

Xie Ji'an...

forget?

Oh, you will turn into ashes when you step on the horse, I will recognize it!

"ah!!"

The little nun Xie Jian saw clearly screamed in fright at the same time!

It’s over, it’s over!!

he's drunk!!

He actually saw a hot little devil trying to steal his money!

He casually picked up the two friends next to him, and did not forget to greet the friends behind him again, "Quick, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up!"

Let's see...

It doesn’t look like he’s drunk either!

Look, he also knows how to drag people away quickly!

The little ancestor was very confused.

She was just saying hello to donor Xie, why was he running away?

Forget it, she has already received the money from the donor anyway, so he can just run away!

None of this matters!

He raised his little head and looked at the cotton shop next to him. It looked quite big. He waved his little hand and called to the younger brothers to go in and take a look.

The boss is a middle-aged man about fifty years old.

When you see a guest coming in, you quickly come out to greet them.

The cotton was what Brother Li Hu wanted to buy. The little nun said nothing and looked at Brother Li Hu when the boss asked them what they wanted.

Brother Li Hu is actually a little confused.

Fortunately, he is smart at heart.

Seeing his boss looking at him, he immediately understood and asked the boss, "Boss, how do you sell the cotton here?"

Cotton already existed in this era, but the price was high.

The boss looked at Li Hu first, and then replied, "We sell by the pound, 500 yuan per pound."

When Li Hu heard the price, his face was a little dark.

Although cotton is expensive, the cotton in Kyoto City only costs more than 300 fen per pound. How much does it cost 500 fen in such a remote small town?

The boss has been sizing up Li Hu's reaction.

Seeing his dark face, he immediately explained, "Sir, don't worry, the 500 wen I told you is high-quality cotton."

"Please come with me."

The boss said this and asked Li Hu to follow him.

The little nun didn't understand cotton, so she didn't follow him and sat in the front hall with donor Hua Yunrou, drinking tea and eating cakes.

The boss took Li Hu to look at other cotton.

The boss’s store is divided into three types of cotton, low, medium and high.

Low-grade cotton is really low-grade. Not only is the cotton very dirty, but there is also sand in it. The price is actually cheap, only 100 yuan per pound.

Medium cotton has no sand, but the cotton looks slightly black, and the price is 300 yuan per pound.

There is no need to say more about the higher level.

The cotton is white and soft, and the quality is super good!

The boss smiled and asked Li Hu, "Sir, what do you use it for? I can help you choose one."

Li Hu...

He was really full of disgust.

Cotton is so obvious, do you still need to choose?

"High-quality cotton in Kyoto City only costs more than 300 yuan. Why is it so expensive?"

"Are you trying to fool me?"

Li Hu looked a little fierce.

The boss had long seen that he was not an ordinary person. When he heard what he said, he quickly explained, "Sir, you really misunderstood me."

"We are in a famine year now, and the price of everything has increased. If you don't believe me, you can go and have a look across the street."

Opposite his house, there is also a cotton shop.

There are only two of them in the town.

Li Hu is not a steamed stuffed bun. If he doubted the boss, he actually went to the shop opposite to see it. The result was that the price was the same and the quality was the same.

The only difference is...

The boss of the shop opposite looked a bit slippery.

Li Hu finally decided to buy from this store, but before buying, he had to discuss it with his boss.

He told the boss about the market conditions of the two companies.

The little nun asked, "How much cotton does Brother Li Hu need?"

Li Hu thought for a while and said, "It needs to be at least 100 kilograms."
