Chapter 9 Thousands of dollars are hard to find
In the house, Wang was looking at the embroidered screen in a daze. When www.biquge.info heard footsteps, he turned his head and saw a middle-aged man, and hurriedly asked, "Are you?"
"Mother, I can't tell it's me, the clothes are still from you, I can't recognize them?" Lan Jing couldn't cry or laugh. Were the ancients blind or too simple?
Wang Shi hurriedly looked at his clothes and breathed a sigh of relief. beckoned to Lan Jing, "My mother was thinking about things just now, and she didn't pay attention to her clothes, she just looked at her face, how did you get it, the difference is so big." My mother didn't recognize it. ”
"I painted it with charcoal, but I can't sweat when it rains, it will take money. Lan Jing said proudly.
Wang smiled and nodded, "Then you pay attention, don't go to a crowded place, and don't believe what people say, you know? You know, right?"
Lan Jing nodded hurriedly and promised: "Mother, you can completely put a hundred hearts, a wise and wise person like your daughter can only deceive others, and will never be deceived." With that, he took the screen and walked out.
Outside the door, Lan Hao, Lan Xiu, Lan Xin, Lan Yue, and Lan Qi all looked at Lan Jing with a pair of eager eyes.
Lan Jing looked at them with a little headache, thought for a while and said, "I have something to do with the town today, so I can't take you with me." Xin'er, you teach your sister and sister the words you learned in the school, and if you learn well, I will take you to the river to learn to float when I come back. ”
"Mother won't agree to let us go to the river to play in the water," Lan Yue said with a dissatisfied pout.
"Don't worry, with me coming out of the horse, I will definitely be able to convince my mother. Lan Jing patted his chest and said.
"Sister, I want a sugar man. Lan Qi said with a raised face.
Lan Jing squatted down and kissed Lan Qi's little face. Answer: "I promise to bring you candy." ”
Because he was afraid that his makeup would be spent, he would have nothing to make up, so Lan Jing had to bring charcoal and fried chops at noon.
It took me an hour to get to town.
This town is called Mingshan Town and belongs to Qingyuan County. It's not bustling either, although there are also a lot of hawkers on both sides of the street. But they sell cheap things, such as fruits and vegetables, rain gear, snacks, etc.
Seeing the situation on the street, Lan Jing felt an indescribable disappointment in his heart.
followed behind Lan Hao, and after a while, he arrived at the place where Lan Youfu was working.
The name of the store is Youmu Shop, and I heard my father say that this is a shop opened by him and Uncle Yang Mugen. So he used his wooden characters of Uncle Yang as the name of the store. I have to say that the name is very good, but unfortunately the business is not very good, and it is deserted.
Lan Jing stood outside and looked at the people inside without walking in, but the people inside didn't look at her, Lan Hao looked at her from ten meters and wanted to come over, Lan Jing shook his head at him. He stopped.
Lan Jing walked into the store with his feet raised and saw that his father and Uncle Yang were both making chairs with their heads down. Pretending to look left and right, he coughed. Instead, they looked up and went to work again. Lan Jing suddenly remembered an advertising slogan: Nowadays, this kind of work attitude is not good.
After watching for a while, Lan Jing walked to the door and pretended to leave, but they still didn't react. Lan Jing gave up, this is too inactive, although it doesn't mean that it should be as enthusiastic as some beauty salons to make people scared, but it can't be so cold, is it because Dad recognized her? It's not right, if you recognize her, Dad will definitely be surprised that his jaw is going to drop.
Just as he was thinking, an uncle walked in. Looking at this uncle's clothes, he didn't look like a rich man, Lan Jing stood obediently next to him, wanting to see how they treated guests.
Then I saw that this uncle looked left and right, and asked a few more words, but in the end he didn't buy it. When he walked to the door, he saw Lan Jing and complained in a low voice: "I don't know if this store is open for business." ”
Lan Jing was speechless, although she didn't know how to do business, but if she was warm, she would at least have a service point.
Thinking of this, Lan Jing also whispered: "That's it, I really don't know how to do business, other people's shops are desperately introduced, this store won't even say a word, if it weren't for the last time my family heard others say that the tables and chairs here are easy to use and then bought them back It is indeed very strong and easy to use, I am not even too lazy to come, this kind of boss does not have to deal with it, what do you want to buy and go directly." That's how I am, it's worth it anyway if the quality is good and expensive. After saying that, he sighed.
"Did the eldest brother buy a table and chair here?" the uncle asked after a pause.
If it weren't for being watched, Lan Jing might not have been able to react, and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, just some time ago, I bought a few chairs and a table, which are for children to read. So the insider asked me to buy a few more and change everything at home. Do you want to buy it too?"
The uncle nodded and raised a big smile and said proudly: "I want to buy it a little, my daughter is out of luck, married a rich one, and gave some silver, I discussed with my mother-in-law and decided to rent a store to sell wontons."
"But Chen's wontons?" Lan Jing asked, just hearing gossip on the way over: the Chen family's wanton Shih Tzu married Liu Yuanwai as a stepfamily. Seeing that he nodded and hurriedly said: "Your wonton is so delicious, I still want to eat it." ”
When Uncle Chen heard this, his mouth cracked to the root of his ears, and he said modestly: "My wonton is an ancestral secret recipe, of course it is delicious." After that, he looked at the tables and chairs in the store. whispered: "When you buy it, you really can't miss it at all?"
"It's not less at all, but the tables and chairs are good, and they're not much expensive anyway, it's better than always having to change. Lan Jing said with a helpless sigh.
Uncle Chen listened and walked in again. Lan Jing also followed him, nodding his head when he touched it and said, "It's really strong." ”
Lan Jing saw that he was very excited, and wanted to add more fire, but he was afraid that it would be too much. Hurriedly said: "Brother, you watch first, I have to rush back." If you really don't feel at ease, you can also compare and contrast with other houses, anyway, I think the tables and chairs in this place are good. After saying that, he left without looking back.
When he got outside, he didn't see Lan Hao, Lan Jing was a little panicked, what if such an older child was caught doing hard labor? Hurriedly ran over to ask a vendor who bought steamed buns next to him, and the vendor told Lan Jing that Lan Hao was pulled in the direction of that direction by several teenagers.
When Lan Jing heard that it was a teenager, he thought that it should be Hao'er's classmate, so he decided a little bit in his heart, and hurriedly thanked him and chased after him.
Luckily, it's just the main street in town. Lan Jing looked while walking, and after a while, he saw a group of people crowded in one place, and looked up, the plaque said three big characters of the Spring and Autumn Chronicles, and there were two small characters in the bookstore next to it, it should be a bookstore, and he was busy squeezing in.
In front of the store, the teenagers gathered together, and they didn't know what they were discussing, Lan Jing glanced around, and finally saw Lan Hao, he stood quietly aside, tightly holding the burden he brought, and didn't talk.
Lan Jing thought that his current outfit was not easy to look for him, so he decided to watch the excitement on the sidelines first.
After standing for a while, there was nothing to see, and the people next to him were also curious and whispering. But none of them knew what they would see.
Lan Jing thought about it and decided to go to Lan Hao, after all, time was limited and he didn't want to waste it here. And I have to go to the embroidery building, and I have to rush back.
Thinking about it, he walked over, stretched out his hand and patted Lan Hao's shoulder, "Nephew Lan Xian, I met you here so coincidentally, can my father be in the store? Uncle happened to be looking for him for something, can you accompany him?"
Lan Hao was obviously frightened, looking dumbfounded, and a young man next to him stood up, "No, we still have to see Master Shi's paintings." ”
After listening to him, Lan Hao reacted, really, his sister was so speechless, she suddenly became his uncle, and he was really scared. Hurriedly pulled his classmate away, arched his hand and said, "Hello Uncle Jing, I'll take you to my father's place." ”
Lan Jing nodded leisurely and walked ahead. When he was out of everyone's sight, Lan Hao breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister, why did you come here?
"No, my father ignored me completely, so I came out to look for you, but I didn't see you, but I didn't scare me, I was almost scared to death, thinking you were trafficked. Lan Jing shook his head.
Lan Hao touched his head embarrassedly, "I was going to say something, but my classmates didn't let me." If it's too late, you may not be able to see it. ”
Lan Jing didn't pursue it, remembering the scene just now, he asked a little curiously, "Who is Master Shi you just talked about?"
"A master of painting and calligraphy, it's amazing. Legend has it that his calligraphy and painting are hard to find. Because the boss of Chunqiu Ji was kind to him, he sent a painting to Chunqiu Ji. The shopkeeper of the Spring and Autumn Chronicle said that it would be displayed for a quarter of an hour today. Lan Hao said seriously.
"A quarter of an hour is quite a long time, why stand there and wait, as soon as the painting is taken out, it will definitely spread like the wind throughout Mingshan Town. It would be nice to see it then. Lan Jing said nonchalantly.
For a person who has seen countless paintings, it really doesn't have much appeal, but I really want to know the level of the great calligraphers and painters of this dynasty.
"Well, I just said I didn't have to wait there, but they didn't listen to me. Lan Hao nodded.
walked to Youmu Shop again, and Lan Jing and Lan Hao walked in side by side.
Lan Youfu looked up and saw his eldest son coming, he was a little surprised, hurriedly put down the tools in his hand, walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"
Lan Hao saw that his father didn't look at Lan Jing at all, so he said, "Dad, who do you think he is?" ”
Lan Youfu really glanced at it seriously, he had the impression that this man had just come to the shop, but he didn't talk to him, could it be someone the lady knew?
Lan Jing held back a smile, looked at him seriously, and didn't speak, and the atmosphere began to be depressed. Lan Youfu had a fine sweat on his forehead, and Lan Jing saw that the joke was getting bigger, so he hurriedly pulled his father's sleeve and said, "Dad, you don't recognize me." ”
Lan Youfu's eyes widened, his mouth opened slightly, and he waited for a while before he could find his voice, "Why are you dressed like this?
"My mother asked me to bring the screen over to the embroidery building, and I went shopping by the way. Lan Jing smiled.
