"I remember that this gourd you said had it a long time ago, it should have been when I was in the first grade of elementary school, and my grandfather didn't know where to get such a small gourd, and it has been hanging here. ”

After hearing Lu Chen's words, the young man put down his mobile phone, and after glancing at Mo Xiaoxiao, he gushed endlessly: "My family has been selling these incense and candle supplies in the town since the nineties, and it has been almost thirty years since this year. ”

"Oh, I see. ”

Lu Chen nodded, pretending to ask inadvertently: "This little gourd has been hanging here for so long, and it is full of dust, so you didn't think about wiping it, maintaining it, and then changing places?"

"It's just a small broken gourd, what is there to maintain, and it's not an unusual thing, even if a thief comes in, he won't steal such a small broken thing. ”

The young man smiled when he heard this, shook his head, and said.

"Xiaoxiao, you said that if you take this little gourd back, can you make it into a literary play? I think its texture is not bad. ”

Lu Chen withdrew his hand playing with the gourd, turned his head to Mo Xiaoxiao and asked.

Mo Xiaoxiao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment by this sudden question, but then, she saw Lu Chen winking at her frantically, which made her understand what the other party meant in an instant, so she nodded and said with Lu Chen's words: "It's okay, maybe it can be made into a text to play." ”

"I look good, why don't I ask the owner of this shop for a while, see if you can give us this little gourd, so that you don't have to go to other places to buy, after a day of tossing, my leg is about to break, but I don't want to go shopping anymore." ”

Lu Chen smiled, and after casually replying, he continued to look at other things in the store.

When the young man heard the conversation between the two, he didn't say anything, and continued to fiddle with his mobile phone, but compared to his previous concentration, he would peek at Mo Xiaoxiao a few times from time to time.

Chen Haoxuan and Boss Mo, who were standing at the door chatting, couldn't help but glance at each other, thinking that this must be Lu Chen's encounter with something good, although they were also a little curious, but they didn't intervene, everything just let it be.

After Lu Chen and the four of them stayed in the store for a while, the shopkeeper rode the electric tricycle again, filled it with candles, and turned back from the warehouse.

"Several gentlemen and young ladies have waited for nine years, and I have pulled back the five hundred catties of candles you need. ”

The shopkeeper walked into the store panting, picked up the teapot on the table, and took a large sip of water.

Lu Chen pushed open the door of the store, checked the candles on the electric tricycle, returned to the store, and said to the shopkeeper: "The quality of the candles is not bad, I want it, but I still need to trouble the boss to send these candles to the street corner in a while, our car is parked there." ”

"No problem, no problem. ”

After the shopkeeper drank the water, he smiled and agreed.

"Boss Chen, come and scan the code to settle the bill. ”

Lu Chen had more than 200 yuan on him, and it was okay to buy a dozen catties of candles, but he didn't have any money for 500 catties, so he had to beckon to Chen Haoxuan and asked him to come over and settle the account.

Chen Haoxuan didn't say a word, he came over directly and scanned the code, and then cut the price with the owner of the store for half a day, so he paid the money directly in one go.

After the owner of the store received the money, he was naturally Meizizi, thinking that he deliberately doubled the price and wanted to test the other party, but the other party really cut according to the five folds of his quotation, and made trouble for a long time, it turned out that the other party did not know the market of the candle at all.

"Oh, by the way, I have a little more to do here, and I want to trouble the shopkeeper. ”

After Chen Haoxuan finished scanning the code payment, Lu Chen opened his mouth again, pointed to the small gourd hanging just now and said: "I like this little gourd very much, and I am going to take it back to make a gourd to play, I don't know if the boss can cut his love and let this little gourd give it to me?"

"What gourd?"

When the shopkeeper heard this, he turned his head to look and found that Lu Chen was pointing to the small gourd hanging on the wall.

He frowned and turned his head to look at his son, while the young man nodded lightly after seeing his father's inquiring gaze, indicating that the other party did like this little gourd a little.

After the shopkeeper got his son's hint, his eyes immediately rolled twice, and then he smiled: "This brother, it's not that I'm stingy with the door, it's just that this gourd was left by my father, and it is said that it has some effect of good luck and bad luck." Since this gourd was hung in our store, nothing messy has happened, so this gourd cannot be sold. ”

It's the 21st century, I didn't expect you to be so superstitious, boss. ”

After hearing this, Lu Chen shook his head indifferently, and continued with a little displeasure: "Since you are reluctant boss, then forget it, it's just a gourd, I'll go and find another one when I go back, and it's not a rare object." ”

After speaking, he was about to take Mo Xiaoxiao and the others outside, and as he walked, he also said to Boss Mo: "I'll go buy a gourd to play in a while, and then Lao Mo, you go back with these candles first, and tell the Taoist chief in the Taoist temple that that's all for this month, and I'll send them an extra batch of candles back next month." ”

"Okay, I got it. ”

Boss Mo has been setting up a stall for many years, and after hearing Lu Chen's words, he immediately understood what he meant, so he nodded cooperatively and agreed.

As the two spoke, they had already pushed open the door of the store and were about to leave.

At this time, the shopkeeper's eyes flickered, as if he felt that he had encountered a big fish, and if he could sell a batch of candles like this every month, he could not only make money, but also help him clear his inventory.

Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and hurriedly said, "Hey, this little brother, don't leave first, this gourd is not something that can't be sold......"

Hearing this, Lu Chen, who was about to push the door and leave, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, outlining a satisfied smile.

Boss Mo glanced at Chen Haoxuan, stopped with a smile, turned around with Lu Chen, and looked at the shopkeeper.

"Don't tell you the little brother, this little gourd has been hanging here for nearly 30 years, and I cherish it very much on weekdays. And after a long time, I have some feelings, and if I am taken away in vain, I am really uncomfortable. ”

The shopkeeper said, with a touch of sadness on his face, as if this little gourd was his sweetheart, and he was very reluctant to give up.

Seeing this, Mo Xiaoxiao secretly pursed her lips, what are you kidding, if you really treat it as a sweetheart, can you still let so much dust and stains accumulate on the gourd?

The owner of this shop is really not a sincere person!

After sighing with emotion, she glanced at Lu Chen again, thinking that her eldest brother Lu was the same.
