Chapter 48 The story of the dyer and the barber-5

The king valued Aipi Gou very much, and specially vacated a palace room, furnished it properly, and gave him accommodation.The next day, Epi Gou rode a horse and went to the city with the engineer to check the construction base.They took a fancy to a lot, and Epi Gou said: "This place is just what I want, it's nice." The engineer called out the owner of the house and brought him to the palace.The king paid a large sum of money to buy the foundation, and then began to build a dyeing workshop.According to Aipi Gou's request, the workers finally built a magnificent dyeing workshop.Aipi Gou reported to the king that the dyeing workshop was completed, and urgently needed money to buy washing and dyeing tools. The king generously donated money and said, "I will give you four thousand gold coins, and use them as capital."

Aipi Gou took his capital and went to the market to see that there were blue pigments everywhere, but the price was very cheap.He collected all kinds of dyes and tools, and prepared paints of various colors. First, he dyed five hundred feet of cloth of different colors for the king, and hung them in front of his door after dyeing.The local people have never seen such beautiful and colorful fabrics. Passers-by crowded around the door of the dyeing workshop and asked: "Master, may I ask what colors are these?" "This is red, this is yellow, this is green..." Eppy Gou happily explained to people.

So Aipi Gou's dyeing workshop was crowded with customers, and everyone pointed to their favorite color and said, "Dye this color for me. We will pay you first how much it costs." Aipi Gou gave the dyed cloth to the king for review.The king was very happy when he saw the bright and dazzling colors, and double rewarded Aipi Gou.From then on, all the noble families gave him clothes and cloth for washing and dyeing, and asked him: "Please dye me according to such and such a color." He washes and dyes according to the colors people like, and everyone is willing to pay him gold coins and silver dollars.Since then, he became famous, and people called his dyeing workshop "Wang's Dyeing Workshop".

Aipi Gou gained both fame and wealth, and became a celebrity in the city. Other dyers in the city bowed to him and humbled him.They flattered him, kissed his hand, pleaded guilty to him, and were willing to obey his orders.They all said to him, "Take us in as your servants!" Aipi Gou didn't bother to pay attention to them, because he had made a lot of money, had a lot of servants, and became a proud rich man.
