After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

Since they have decided to go up the mountain, these girls are determined to take action.

Soon, a notice that Chunxianglou had been sold and was closing for renovation was posted at the gate.

Even the sign of Chunxianglou was taken down with the cooperation of Xu Li and Xu Tong.

Seeing the signboard being taken down, Mei Niang's eyes flashed with a sparkle.

"Okay, you guys just pack up well in the next few days, and follow us up the mountain in two days." Xu Qingqing looked at everyone.

"Yes."

The girls turned around and went back to pack their bags, not wanting to leave anything behind.

Xu Qingqing glanced at Chunxiang Tower and decided to take Xu Xi and the other two to start measuring data.

Xu Xi was still wondering how the sect leader measured it when he saw Xu Qingqing taking out something she had never seen before from her arms.

It looks like it's made of iron, but it's the same iron we see every day, and it looks more refined.

Before she could ask, she saw Xu Qingqing pull, and something like an endless rope was pulled out from inside.

Xu Xi, Xu Li, Xu Tong: !!

"Come and help." Xu Qingqing shouted when she saw that no one moved.

"Hey, here comes the Sect Master!" Xu Xi was the first to react. She stepped forward and grabbed the 'rope'. As soon as she touched it, she couldn't help but widen her eyes.

This, this, this is iron? So thin? So tough?

If you look closely, you will see the scales marked on it, which are clear and eye-catching.

But this was obviously not the right time to ask these questions, so Xu Xi closed his mouth and suppressed his doubts and surprise in his heart.

Next, Xu Qingqing took the three of them to measure around Chunxiang Tower.

After she taught them how to measure, the four of them divided into groups of two. She and Xu Li were in charge of the measurement, while Xu Xi and Xu Tong took notes carefully, fearing that they would miss any details.

They shuttled through every corner of the building, from the lobby to the private rooms, from the stairs to the corridors, leaving no place untouched.

Rubbing her waist, Xu Qingqing felt a little tired: "Oh~ I'm finally done."

He took the notebook where Xu Xi and the other person had recorded their work and looked at the data on it. Well, since Xu Xi couldn't read very well yet, many things were written with simple drawings of the corresponding objects next to the data.

Looking at two sets of data with obviously different styles, one is concise and clear, and the other is very childlike.

Well, compulsory education must be implemented. How can I, who has been in charge of education for so many years, let the people of Xiaoyao Sect become the nine leaky fish? !

Xu Qingqing narrowed her eyes, and a malicious light flashed in her eyes, causing the three of them to take a step back.

Xiao Yuheng leaned over and approached Xu Qingqing, and said jokingly, "What bad idea are you planning? Sect Leader?"

Xu Qingqing took a step back, looking fierce but weak: "What are you talking about? Am I that kind of person?"

Xiao Yuheng smiled without saying anything, he just stretched out his big hand and rubbed Xu Qingqing's head.

"Don't rub my head. If I don't grow taller, you'll be finished!" Xu Qingqing pushed Xiao Yuheng's hand away.

When he turned around, he saw Xu Xi and the other two staring at them. He was a little angry that they had seen his embarrassing state: "Go to bed!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" When the three saw Xu Qingqing jumping up and down, they quickly dispersed.

But after turning around, a smile appeared on his face: This is what a six-year-old kid looks like.

……

During the two days that the girls were packing, Xu Qingqing took a few people around the town to conduct various business surveys.

Xu Qingqing's purpose was very clear, which was to understand the development of various industries in this northern border town in order to provide more specific direction and data support for the subsequent renovation of Chunxianglou.

The sun is high in the sky, and is very warm to passers-by, which can be described as being very hot.

Because Xu Qingqing told them at the beginning that they should study hard with her, and that the subsequent development of Xiaoyao Sect would need them after they had learned well, so the three of them were very focused and worked hard to absorb the knowledge points.

Xu Qingqing took a few people through the streets and alleys and visited almost all the shops.

Walking into a cloth shop, you will see colorful fabrics on display, ranging from silk to cotton, from delicate to rough.

The shopkeeper was a lean old man with a scholarly air. When he saw Xu Qingqing and the others enter the shop, he immediately came up to them warmly and said in a slightly shrill voice, "What do you want to buy? We have all kinds of fabrics and ready-made clothes."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingqing looked up and took in all the fabrics in the shop. She nodded secretly. It was indeed a dazzling array.

After thinking for a while, Xu Qingqing looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Would you mind showing me the most expensive, best-selling, and cheapest fabrics in the store?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, a hint of hesitation flashed across his eyes, but then he regained his warm smile.

He turned and walked towards the shelf and began to select fabrics. After a while, he brought the three types of fabrics Xu Qingqing had named to Xu Qingqing, but there were only two pieces of fabric.

Xu Qingqing observed the fabrics, gently touched their texture with her hands, and carefully felt their grain and elasticity.

The shopkeeper watched Xu Qingqing's skills from the side and wondered if she had met an expert.

But he still introduced the two kinds of fabrics to Xu Qingqing in detail, starting with the most expensive one.

He pointed to the piece of blue-green cloth that was flowing with an elegant color. "This cloth is called Yunjin Liuguang. It is the most outstanding and unique fabric in our store. Of course, it is also the most expensive fabric."

"It uses high-quality silk interwoven with iceberg gold silk, and after dozens of delicate processes, it forms a unique look with luster flowing under the light. It feels smooth and has a very high gloss. It is beautiful and comfortable and breathable, so the price is also very attractive."

"This batch of fabrics is the treasure of our store. They are very expensive and rare."

“This is the most popular…”

Listening to the shopkeeper's introduction, Xu Qingqing nodded repeatedly.

This brocade is truly unique, smooth and delicate, with a unique fabric, and is truly worthy of being the treasure of the store.

Then we looked at the most popular and cheapest fabric - cotton and linen blend.

This type of fabric has very few color options, and is mainly based on practicality.

"Shopkeeper, how much are these two kinds of cloth?" Xu Qingqing interrupted the shopkeeper's introduction.

The shopkeeper didn't mind and continued to greet him with a smile, "One foot of cotton and linen is 4 wen, and one foot of brocade is 1 liang and 12 qian. Each piece of cloth is 5 feet long. How much do you want to buy?"

Xu Qingqing finally bought five pieces of fine cotton and linen and one piece of brocade, spending a total of five hundred taels and eight cents.

Before leaving, Xu Qingqing suddenly asked the shopkeeper, "I wonder how much sales you normally make for your clothing business?"

Although the reason was unclear, the shopkeeper still answered Xu Qingqing: "The labor cost of ready-made clothes is relatively high, and ordinary people buy them home and sew them themselves. Rich families also have professional embroiderers, and the transaction volume is usually very small."

"Thank you, shopkeeper, for clearing up my doubts." Xu Qingqing asked and walked out.

Xu Xi and the other two walked out of the store holding the cloth, all of them looking like they were following the sect leader to see the world.

The cloth costs 500 taels per piece, and the sect leader can buy it just like that.
