The shop has just started, so we can't prepare too much fabric at once. Not only will many fabrics become outdated in a few years, but it's also not good to keep the fabrics in the store's attic warehouse for too long, as they will easily rot.
Li Mengxue only planned to purchase materials needed for winter and spring clothes.
This doesn’t add up to much, only thirty horses were selected in total.
This quantity is too small compared to other suppliers of the textile factory. It is not worth sending a car to deliver it separately. However, it is not realistic for Li Mengxue and others to bring it back to the capital by themselves. Li Mengxue has the ability to do so, but she dare not do so. The space can only be kept secret.
Fortunately, Wang Lingling had connections. At the beginning of this month, the factory had a convoy heading north to deliver goods, and their cloth could be brought over on the way. They didn't dare to leave Wang Lingling alone on the convoy, so they decided to go back with the convoy.
The convoy will depart from Hai City the day after tomorrow. If Ayuan prepares all these items before then, it will be possible to transport them to the shop in advance.
Otherwise, it would be very difficult to transport these things to the shop.
During the assembly process, Yi Qingqing was able to help more. The two of them worked together for two early mornings and two evenings before they finished assembling everything.
On the evening of the day when the assembly was completed, a few hours after dark, Yun Guyuan rode his bicycle with Yi Qingqing out.
This was the first time the two of them had gone out in a month, except for the time they went to pick up a telegram half a month ago.
Last time, it was because Yi Qingqing saw the telegram sent by Li Mengxue and the others through the Golden Book that she found an opportunity to say that she was worried about their situation and asked Yun Guyuan to go to the post office.
It was too late, and the only things keeping them company were the gentle night breeze, the chirping of cicadas and the cool moonlight. Even the street lights on the main road were off.
It can be said that at this time, apart from them, the only people on the streets of the imperial capital are ghosts.
Yi Qingqing regretted volunteering to accompany Comrade Yun to secretly install the furniture in the middle of the night. She didn't know before that at this time in the capital, the street lights would be cut off at certain times in the evening.
The moon at the beginning of the lunar month was not very bright. She even gave up her usual elegant sideways sitting posture and chose a more secure sitting position with legs apart, holding Comrade Yun's clothes tightly with both hands.
I was a little scared and couldn't help but find something to talk about. The only advantage of this time was probably that there was no one on the road and I didn't have to worry about being overheard when talking.
"Ayuan, can you see the road clearly in this dark?"
Yi Qingqing felt that he was riding very steadily, no different from during the day, and he even avoided the potholes on the road accurately.
"I can see clearly," Yun Guyuan's voice came.
"Oh, right, I forgot you're a ghost messenger. It's normal to be able to see in the dark." Yi Qingqing suddenly felt something was wrong when she thought of the ghost messenger. "A Yuan, is the street 'busy'?"
She emphasized the word "lively" and her teeth were chattering.
"It's not busy. I've cleaned up the imperial capital several times. No ghosts left in the world of the living dare to wander the streets at night."
Yi Qingqing felt relieved after hearing Comrade Yun's calm but somewhat domineering voice. Then she felt a little embarrassed. Although this was not the first time, she still tried to make up for it: "I'm not really afraid of ghosts. I just can't help but be afraid of those things that I can't see or touch, but they can see me. I always feel insecure. I won't be afraid when I become a ghost."
"How about I buy two Sky Eye Talismans for you to play with, so that you can see the world as I see it?" Yun Guyuan said considerately.
“No, no, no!” Yi Qingqing hastily refused, determined to dispel A Yuan’s horrible idea: “Save your salary for later use. Talisman paper is not permanent. It’s too extravagant just for me to see ghosts. In a few decades, when you go to the underworld, there will be many opportunities to see ghosts for free. There’s no need to rush!”
"Okay, then tell me whenever you want to see it in advance," Yun Guyuan said.
Yi Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that this was not a safe topic, and quickly started talking about something else.
Fortunately, Luoguxiang is only three stops away from Jinma Street, and it is quick to get there by bike.
There are many people passing by Jinma Street on weekdays, but no one stays here at night.
When they got outside the store, Yun Guyuan pushed his bicycle, accurately inserted the key into the door lock, opened the door, and pushed his bicycle into the store. Yi Qingqing held onto the corner of Yun Guyuan's clothes and followed him closely.
After the two entered the store, they closed the door, shutting out the dim moonlight.
Section 242
For a moment, the sound of cicadas seemed to fade away. Yi Qingqing heard Comrade Yun park his bicycle and quickly took her hand, which gave her a greater sense of security.
"I'll hold your hand. Let's go slowly. Be careful not to bump into anything." Yun Guyuan knew that she couldn't see the road clearly, so he took out the objects from the Yintu Ghost Road with one hand and placed them in the corresponding positions. With the other hand, he held her tightly and reminded her carefully when they went up the stairs.
It would normally only take a few minutes to put something away, but because of her "drag", it took an hour or so to get it done.
After putting everything away and the two of them left the shop, Yi Qingqing felt that the moonlight outside seemed brighter than before they went in.
After finishing her work, Yi Qingqing was in a good mood. She chattered all the way and enjoyed the streets of the imperial capital with only her and A Yuan. Such opportunities would not come often in the future.
When they arrived at Luoguxiang, before they parted, Yi Qingqing remembered that the powerful beauty, calming, qi-boosting, brain-warming pills she had taken recently were about to expire. Because she was with Ayuan every day, they held hands every day, and she could sign in at any time, and she had no plans to go out in the near future, she did not save any more pills, and signed in temporarily when they were about to expire.
[Sign in at the Yunguyuan sign-in place and receive a pill for nourishing the skin, calming the mind, replenishing qi, strengthening the brain, warming the body and improving eyesight]
Yi Qingqing's pupils shrank slightly as she was about to close the sign-in system prompt. If she was not mistaken, the six-in-one meatball had been upgraded again?
Mingmu Pills, the name is obvious and it is not difficult to guess what happened.
She looked at the people around her. They were close enough to speak frankly now. Even if they said something strange and unclear, they wouldn't mind. So she asked directly, "Ayuan, were you worried about me who couldn't see in the dark? Or did you hope that I could see clearly in the dark..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly got stuck.
Wait, they were talking about opening the third eye to see ghosts today, and she said she was not afraid to save face. A Yuan thought she was curious and wanted to buy her a third eye talisman!
Then this eye-brightening pill...
Yi Qingqing swallowed her saliva. If that was the case, she swore she would cut up the new part and not eat it!
