Zhang Yingqi and three others followed the stall owner to the warehouse and gave Madam Lu a brief introduction.
It turns out that the stall owner's name is Gao Baoshan. His father is from Tianjin and his mother is from Jiangnan.
His family has been in the silk fabric business since his father's generation.
Now his parents are doing business in the southern coastal area, and he is in charge of the business in Tianjin.
So others call his father Boss Gao and him Little Boss Gao.
Because his family does business in both the north and the south, the fabrics for Boss Xiao Gao's clothes are all sent directly by water from the southern coast by his father.
"The materials in his warehouse are the most complete and the most abundant in Tianjin.
"If the material can't be bought at his store, there's no need to look elsewhere."
After hearing this, Boss Xiao Gao showed a hint of pride on his face, but he still said modestly, "I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. It's just that my family is in this business, so I'm not afraid of the inventory being overstocked. I just have more confidence than others."
Outside the city, apart from the market and the bustling surroundings, the rest of the place is desolate.
The warehouse is not built here, so you still have to walk a long way to get there.
Looking at the deserted scene around her, Martina was a little scared and pulled Madam Lu to talk for a long time.
Madam Lu comforted her with a few words.
But to be honest, if Zhang Yingqi hadn't been there, Madam Lu wouldn't have dared to follow Boss Xiao Gao to his warehouse.
To put it bluntly, if you get killed along the way and thrown into the sea, you probably won’t even be able to find your body.
Fortunately, after walking for a while, we soon saw large areas of houses.
Zhang Yingqi introduced: "These are basically the warehouses of the stall owners in the market.
“Most stall owners rent a warehouse to use.
"But look over there, the two taller rows of houses are the warehouses built by the Gao family themselves."
Boss Xiao Gao took them into the warehouse.
This was the first time Qingtian saw so many cloths, all stacked on the shelves according to material and color.
As soon as the door of the warehouse was opened, the moment the sunlight shone in, it seemed as if rainbows lit up inside.
"How beautiful!" Qingtian couldn't help but exclaim.
Martina stared with her eyes wide open, and whispered something like "God, Lord," as if she was saying that she had seen a miracle.
Madam Lu accompanied Martina into the warehouse to select materials. Worried that Qingtian was too young to walk, she let her play by herself at the warehouse door for a while.
The warehouse manager was also very smart. Seeing that the guest brought back by Boss Xiao Gao was accompanied by Captain Zhang, he knew that this was definitely not an ordinary guest.
So without any instructions, they quickly asked people to bring tables, chairs and benches and place them at the door of the warehouse, and asked everyone to sit down.
He quickly made tea and asked Boss Xiao Gao to drink it with Captain Zhang. Finally, he did not forget to serve Qingtian a cup of honey water.
Qingtian sat on a chair, swinging her legs, drinking honey water and glancing at the various cloths in the warehouse.
Zhang Yingqi noticed this and asked, "Qingtian, do you want to buy some fabric too?"
"I want to buy some fabric for my mother to make summer clothes." Qingtian said, blinking his big eyes at Boss Xiao Gao.
"Okay, no problem." Boss Xiao Gao put down his teacup, stood up, went around the warehouse himself, and soon brought out seven or eight rolls of fabric.
"Here, these are the most popular colors in the south this summer.
"The capital's fashion trends follow those of the south every year, and I know this very well.
"Little girl, take a look and see if there is anything you like."
Qingtian carefully examined the fabrics that Boss Xiao Gao brought out, then looked at Zhang Yingqi hesitantly and asked, "Uncle Zhang, which one do you think looks best?"
Zhang Yingqi didn't think too much about it. After glancing around, he chose one and said, "I think this one looks pretty good. Do you like it?"
"I like it!" Qingtian nodded without hesitation, then quickly selected four more pieces of cloth and said, "I want one piece of each of these four types. They need to be large enough to make a summer outfit for an adult woman. Is that okay?"
"No problem." Boss Xiao Gao agreed very readily.
Not to mention that Zhang Yingqi might bring him a big client this time.
Just now, Martina accidentally helped him drive away the Western scammer, saving him from so much loss.
It would be no problem for him to give these pieces of fabric directly to Qingtian.
So he didn't ask in detail about the body shape of the people who were going to make the clothes, and all the clothes were cut according to much richer sizes.
After cutting, wrap them with paper according to the requirements of the sunny day.
Zhang Yingqi didn't think it was strange that Qingtian bought five pieces of fabric. He thought she was going to give them to the old lady of the Ye family and her four daughters-in-law. He also thought that the child was so thoughtful at such a young age.
Zhang Yingqi asked, "Qingtian, do you want to show your father and three uncles some fabrics? Don't you have five older brothers?"
After hearing this, Qingtian suddenly became conflicted.
In fact, if possible, she even wanted to buy gifts for Mr. Cen, Uncle Meng, Mr. Wei, Brother Qin... and many other people.
Unfortunately, she had used all her previous money to buy glasses for Mr. Cen, and now there is not much left.
She secretly opened her purse and showed it to Zhang Yingqi.
"Uncle Zhang, look, this is all the money I have."
Zhang Yingqi had long noticed that Qingtian's purse was not very bulging, and imagined that there was probably not much money in it.
He had already made up his mind to pay for Qingtian himself, and then say that it was a gift from Boss Xiao Gao.
But when he looked inside his purse, he found that there were not copper coins but several silver coins. He estimated that there were at least five or six taels of silver.
Zhang Yingqi raised his hand and scratched his head, thinking that he was just thinking about paying for her, but after all this time, the girl's wallet was fatter than his.
“It’s much cheaper here than outside, maybe even less than half the price!
"Just feel free to choose. This money is enough to buy a whole load of fabric."
"Is this true?" Qingtian asked in surprise, "Uncle Zhang, please don't lie to me!"
"I'm not lying to you. Go ahead and buy as much as you want. You have enough money! Unless Boss Xiao Gao asks for something too high."
"No, no, it's just a few pieces of fabric. If Miss Qingtian likes it, I can give it to her."
Boss Xiao Gao was very generous when he spoke, because when he went in to get the fabric just now, he saw that Martina had already selected hundreds of pieces of fabric.
This is definitely a big business!
Zhang Yingqi had seen Qingtian's dress and the fact that he could even take the Western-speaking Madam Lu as his teacher, so he thought that the Ye family should be living a good life after returning to their hometown.
But he didn't ask much, after all, he felt that Qingtian was still a child and probably couldn't explain it clearly.
But after seeing the silver in Qingtian's purse, he realized that he might have underestimated the ability of the Ye family.
After all, having a connection with the Honglu Temple is not something that ordinary people can do.
