Lan Youfu opened his mouth to speak and stopped, and finally sighed. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lan Jing hurriedly took out the small chops he brought over, "Dad, I made it for you to eat, you can taste it." After speaking, he looked around, "Hey, Uncle Yang?"

Lan Youfu stretched out his hand to take the things in Lan Jing's hand and said, "Just now, a guest officer bought a lot of tables and chairs. Your Uncle Yang sent it over. Oh, the guest officer you talked to for a long time. ”

Lan Jing nodded, she had just advertised for so long, and she deserved to gain a little. After all, the tables and chairs made by Dad and Uncle Yang are really good.

Thinking of this, I glanced around again, and there were almost all tables, chairs, benches, and cabinets in the store, but there were very few, and the styles were very ordinary, and they were not painted at all.

Lan Jing pondered for a moment and asked, "Dad, do you have only one style of tables, chairs, benches, and cabinets?"

"It's just durable, what do you do with all that fancy. "Lan Youyou is blessed,

Lan Jing was defeated, and Dad was right, the first consideration of things was durability. But what if it could be durable and beautiful? Then I thought about such a small town, even if it was made well, no one would buy it. A chair is not as expensive as a pound of pork, and it is too expensive. If the chair that took more time to make was still sold at the previous price, Lan Jing would vomit blood. Thinking of this, Lan Jing gave up making suggestions.

Lan Hao saw that his sister didn't know what she was thinking, so she stretched out her hand and pulled Lan Jing, "Sister, are you going to the embroidery building?"

Lan Jing looked at Lan Hao, then turned his head to look at Lan Youfu and said, "Dad, let's go to the embroidery building first, and then come back to you later." "After that, I took my things and was about to walk out.

"Wait a minute, Yue'er's handkerchief hasn't been taken yet," Lan Youfu finished speaking and walked in.

"Hey, Xiaohao, why are you here? Great, I'll go back after dinner here today. Yang Mugen walked in and said with a smile.

"Hello Uncle Yang, I have something to do today and will go back later. Come back for dinner next time. Lan Hao glanced at Lan Jing and wondered whether to tell Uncle Yang, but after thinking about it, forget it.

Lan Jing was already ready to meet the surprised eyes, but Hao'er, this kid, had eyes and didn't reveal her identity. He also looked around leisurely, and then walked out naturally.

After waiting at the door for a while, Lan Hao came out with a small baggage.

At this time, there were crowds of people rushing in one direction, Lan Jing thought of the Master Shi just now, turned to look at Lan Hao, saw the eagerness in his eyes, didn't say much, and walked directly in front.

When I came to the gate of Spring and Autumn Ji again, the door was full of people, more than just now, and I don't know how such a small town suddenly poured out so many people.

Lan Jing is okay, the height of one hundred and seventy-five is considered high, so I can see that Lan Hao is still a head shorter, and he was blocked tightly, so he had to jump up desperately. Lan Jing hurriedly pulled him and motioned for him not to worry.

Lan Jing glanced at it from a distance, it was an ink landscape painting, the mountains in the fog were hazy, there was an old man fishing in a small boat on the calm lake, and geese flew in the air.

Although Lan Jing has seen a lot of paintings, I have to say that this is indeed a good painting, even people who don't know how to paint will have an immersive feeling.

Look at the people around you and really admire.

Lan Jing wants to squeeze in at this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get into the sky. He pulled Lan Hao out, saw the disappointment on his face, and said to him with a smile: "Don't worry, go to the embroidery building first, and come back later, I will definitely let you see it." ”

Lan Hao looked at his sister suspiciously, wanting to believe her words, but thinking about it, he felt impossible. But in order not to hit my sister, I nodded cooperatively.

The embroidery building is not far from the Spring and Autumn Period, less than a quarter of an hour away.

Lan Jing looked at the plaque: Spring Flower Embroidery Workshop, there is nothing special.

I walked in and glanced around, and there was nothing special. There are a lot of ready-to-wear clothes hanging on the walls on both sides, one male and one female.

The long table at the counter was filled with cloth, most of which was plain coarse cloth.

There are a lot of brightly colored fabrics on the innermost cabinet against the wall, and you can see that it is a high-quality cloth by looking at the glossy texture of the cloth.

The proprietress was a plump and flamboyant young woman in her thirties, wearing a bright pink cotton dress. Seeing Lan Jing walk in, he hurriedly greeted him and asked with a smile, "Guest officer, what do you need?" As he spoke, he led Lan Jing to the men's ready-to-wear side.

Lan Jing didn't say a word, and followed the proprietress over, anyway, she didn't have to buy it.

With the introduction of the proprietress, Lan Jing roughly understood the price of the clothes in this store. Although I have never spent a penny since coming here, money is still very sensitive for a modern person. The cheapest of the ordinary ready-to-wear clothes here are two or three hundred yuan, and the expensive ones are as high as a dozen taels.

Lan Jing had to sigh: these ancient clothes are much more expensive than modern ones.

As she walked, she saw that there were a lot of handkerchiefs and purses under the women's ready-to-wear. The style is also very ordinary. So he picked it up casually.

Seeing this, the proprietress enthusiastically introduced the handkerchief and purse, both of which were fifteen wen.

Lan Jing felt that he had seen almost enough, and just wanted to ask Lan Hao to take out the screen, when he heard someone ask, "Don't you have a large screen in your store?"

She followed the prestige and saw a middle-aged man about forty years old, dressed in dark green satin, slightly fat, with a belt of the same color around his waist. also tied a piece of jade pendant, which looks like a rich man.

The proprietress turned around and said with a smile, "There are screens." The big ones didn't. ”

"Take them all out and take a look," the middle-aged man said.

Taking advantage of the fact that the proprietress went to get the screen, Lan Jing pulled Lan Hao and walked out.

Lan Hao looked at his sister puzzled, thinking that his sister was too strange, just pulled him away, and now he is pulling him away, and the screen has not been sold yet.

Lan Jing didn't say much, just paid attention to the door of the embroidery workshop, and as expected, the middle-aged man walked out after a while, and he didn't take anything in his hand. Lan Jing hurriedly walked over and said, "Brother, please stay and take a step to speak." ”

The middle-aged man stopped and looked at Lan Jing, and said lightly, "What's the matter?"

Lan Jing didn't take Qiao to lead him to the side, so he asked Lan Hao to take out the screen. The embroidered screen, which is one meter wide and five meters long and two meters long, is displayed.

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up, then disappeared, and he said leisurely, "What does this mean?"

"This screen at a glance at the beginning, it is said to be the only one, so although it is expensive, but also think it is worth it, who knows that after taking it back, the family is making a fuss, called to return, you know, I just stood for a long time and couldn't pull down the face to retreat, I learned that the brother needs a big screen and wanted to try. Brother, can you take a fancy to it?" Lan Jing said as he pretended to be ashamed.

The middle-aged man looked closer and said, "You can make a price." ”

"One hundred taels, I didn't add a penny, really. Lan Jing stretched out a finger and said sincerely.

The middle-aged man nodded at this. He looked at the screen again and said, "One hundred taels is a bit expensive, but I won't let you lose, so I'll give you one hundred taels." Embroider the screen for me. ”

Lan Jing nodded hurriedly and reinstalled the embroidery screen. It was handed to the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man also gave a silver ticket to Lan Jing. At this time, Lan Jing was depressed, she didn't know the silver ticket, she had never seen it, how could she judge the authenticity?

Lan Hao hadn't actually seen a silver ticket of one hundred taels, but he had seen fifty taels. It should be the same. He stretched out his hand and took it, indeed, except for the difference in values, everything else was the same, and he nodded to his sister.

After Lan Jing received the hint, he exchanged a few polite words with the middle-aged man. From this, I learned that the middle-aged man's surname was Liu, and his name was rich. The family is in the grain business. The screen was bought as a gift to the newly appointed prefectural magistrate. Lan Jing sighed in his heart: This is the way to do business.

In the end, Liu Decai mentioned that there was something else to do, and left. Watching him walk away, Lan Jing hurriedly asked Lan Hao to take the handkerchief in and ask how much it was, and don't sell it if it is less than twenty yuan.

After a while, Lan Hao came out, the handkerchief was not sold, and the proprietress said that she usually received ten wen, and she would give two more wen depending on the novelty of the style. So Lan Hao took it back.

Lan Jing didn't bother, anyway, the screen was sold at a high price, so these handkerchiefs were kept first. Thinking of the one hundred taels of silver ticket, Lan Jing was still a little uneasy, so he decided to find a place to exchange it for silver first. So he asked, "Hao'er, is there a place where I can exchange money?"

"Yes, there is a Chase number straight away. Silver can be stored or exchanged for silver. As he spoke, he took the lead.

Lan Jing felt that the ticket number sounded a bit like a bank, so he asked, "Will it be profitable to deposit silver?"

Lan Hao shook his head and said, "There won't be, but I heard that the silver ticket with the Chase number can be exchanged for silver all over the country." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the Chase No., a small shop, with a plaque above the door with the words Chase No. written on it, and a black curtain below it blocked the view from looking inside.

Lan Jing stretched out his hand and opened the curtain and walked in, and there was a high platform in front of him, and a middle-aged man about forty or fifty years old was sitting next to the high platform, with his head down and calculating. Seeing that someone came in was not enthusiastic, he glanced at it lightly and continued to calculate.

Lan Jing was speechless, how could he have this attitude, and suddenly remembered the staff in the modern big bank, and he used to think that they had a bad attitude, but at least they would make an opening statement: Hello, what can I do to help you. Now, people ignore you. Lan Jing didn't have the patience to wait, so he had to speak first, "Hello, can I exchange it for silver?"

"Didn't you know you could come?" said the staff without looking up.

Lan Jing was embarrassed with a capital letter, shouldn't the normal staff say: Okay, how much do you want to exchange?

"For silver tickets or for silver?" the staff finally looked up at Lan Jing and asked.

Lan Jing hurriedly took the silver ticket to him, "Exchange it for silver, nine ten taels, nine one taels, plus a thousand copper coins, thank you!"

The staff took the silver ticket and said, "Wait aside." ”
