After being busy for more than half a month, He Laosan finally finished compiling the batch of goods he received.

People's stores are about to open, and He Laosan has been urged to ask for goods several times. Song counted all the things, and let He Laosan go, "I have a number of things in my heart, if you dare to secretly save it for the old lady, the old lady will break your legs." ”

Regarding Song's vicious words, Mu Zhen just didn't hear it, and took Xiao Baozi and He Laosan to the town together.

When the family of three went out in the morning, the Song family saw it, and if it was taken in an ox cart and reached the ears of the Song family, it was estimated that there would be a quarrel.

But He Laosan still thought that his daughter-in-law was weak and his son was small, and it was estimated that both of them would not be able to withstand it when walking, so he still insisted on finding Uncle Guigen's ox cart.

However, in the middle of April, the weather is getting hotter, and everyone has to prepare for the busy farming, and there are really few who have time to go to the town, anyway, there is only their family of three on this ox cart.

The little bun has grown so big, and it is the first time to go to the town, and the little face is irrepressible, with a pair of wet eyes, looking around, but it is not like other children, who pester adults to see and buy when they see novelty. It's really reassuring to stay quietly by my father's side.

He Laosan was carrying more than a dozen things, Mu Zhen wanted to help, he didn't do it alive or dead, and finally at Mu Zhen's insistence, he carried a shoulder basket and basket.

There were so many things, and the volume was so large, that the husband and wife went to the shop where they received these things first. The shop is newly opened, and on South Street, the shop does not have any special name, that is, on the banner in front of the door, hanging with two types of bamboo weaving.

Coincidentally, it happened to be next to the house where Mu Zhen bought seeds last time. Mu Zhen wanted to say hello, but the shopkeeper was not there, so she had to give up.

The husband and wife just entered the shop next to them, but they saw the shopkeeper who sold seeds there, and the shopkeeper who sold bamboo weaving were discussing something together, and they looked familiar.

The shopkeeper who sells bamboo weaving is surnamed Fan, when he went to He's house to order bamboo weaving, he met with He Laosan several times, and the two were also familiar with each other, "Yo, the third child is here?" Oh, I've been waiting for you, but I'm looking forward to you. ”

He Laosan didn't have any other reaction to the enthusiasm of the shopkeeper Fan, and said without changing his face: "Let the shopkeeper Fan wait for a long time." ”

The shopkeeper who bought the seeds was surnamed Liu, and he was also enthusiastic when he saw Mu Zhen, and before Mu Zhen could speak, he smiled and quipped: "When will the little lady take care of the old man's shop again, you are the big customer of the old man." ”

Regarding the joke of the shopkeeper Liu, Mu Zhen smiled: "I will return to your store, do you want to get close to you?" I didn't expect you to be here, and I didn't expect to be caught here. ”

"You girl, your mouth is amazing."

Compared with the acquaintance of the two here, He Laosan and Fan Shopkeeper are directly to the point.

"Third child, you also know that when I went to negotiate with your mother, I paid a deposit of ten pieces. One basket, two baskets, two baskets, three baskets, and two racks. You now have twenty-one, which is more than eleven. I'm in business, and I can't deceive you alone, the back basket is 50 wen apiece, the fence is 20 wen, the basket and the basket are 30 wen, and the rack and the shoulder basket are 40 wen. I paid a deposit of 100 wen when I went out, and I will give you another 120 wen. For the rest, I'll still charge at this price. ”

The shape of the frame is a bit like a flag and a flagpole, but the difference is that the place like a flag is longer than the width of the flag, and the place where it is connected can also be flipped.

At that time, when He Laosan was doing this household, Mu Zhen was curious and specially watched it. First cut five bamboo pieces with a thickness of about 1.5 cm, and then cut a piece of wood with a diameter of about 3 cm and a length of 15 cm.

Cut the left side of the wood into a cylindrical smooth groove about 3 cm wide, and flatten the two sides of the middle part to look like a cuboid, leaving a distance of 0.5 cm on the right side.

Then prepare a bamboo pole that is more than one meter long and about a handful thick. The big end of the bamboo pole is about 20 centimeters long, and the bamboo slices that have just been drawn are roasted on the fire, and the bamboo slices are broken while baking, and the bamboo slices are completely turned into U.

The bamboo slices are the same, put the middle position on the fire and roast, the two sides should be about the same length, and the arc of the bend should be larger than the bamboo pole.

After these two processes are completed, the next step is to weave the bark. You can also braided the peeled bark into a braid of about 0.5 cm, or rub it tightly. After weaving, fix the bamboo pieces in the middle of the wedge, braided the skin, and weave them tightly according to the weaving method of one up and down, and enclose all the bamboo pieces of about 60 centimeters.

Then fix the bamboo pole in the groove on the left, and trim the wood on the right side with a saw to make it a little shorter, and you're done.

The main function of the rack is to thresh crops. In this era, there is no shelling machine, such as wheat, soybeans, mung beans and red beans, etc., all of which have to be photographed by manpower with a rack.

Therefore, the frame is a very important tool in this era.

Here, when Mu Zhen was talking to his father-in-law, he looked around at the basket that had been placed on the ground, and when he heard what Shopkeeper Fan said and He Laosan, Mu Zhen frowned slightly, and said, "I don't know if Shopkeeper Fan has seen the things I have compiled with my father-in-law, or has he compared these things you have received with my father-in-law?" ”

After all, he is in business, how can he not be shrewd, as soon as Mu Zhen said this, the slightly chubby and dark face of the shopkeeper Fan was a little sneering, and said: "Of course I have seen it, the craftsmanship of the third child is naturally nothing to say." ”

Mu Zhen pointed to the things on the ground, and said firmly: "It's not that I have nothing to say, I can pat my chest and say, you can take out a household at random in the store, and it is not as good as my father-in-law." If this is the case, Shopkeeper Fan feels that he still didn't lie to us, then we will give you the ten things you ordered, and we will take the rest, and Shopkeeper Fan will not talk to the two of us about business in the future. ”

Mu Zhen is a layman to this, although she doesn't understand the quality of these things, but judging from the fact that He Laosan wore out a pair of gloves a day, he is absolutely sturdy and has many tricks.

Besides, the scarcity of the lines can be known at a glance. Obviously, the things on the ground are sparse and uneven at first glance.

When talking about business with people, you must have enough aura, even if you don't understand, you have to understand, so that people think that you are not easy to fool, so that you can get the greatest benefit for yourself, so as soon as Mu Zhen opened her mouth, she put her posture very full.

Shopkeeper Fan looked at He Laosan's words, thinking that he couldn't say anything, but he didn't expect that this family was in charge, but it was this little daughter-in-law, looking at it, she was still not easy to fool.

Hearing that Mu Zhen was no longer sold, Shopkeeper Fan hurriedly smiled and said: "Don't worry, little lady, business is all negotiated, if you are not satisfied with this price, the old man will just lift it up." ”

The attitude of the people softened, and Mu Zhen naturally didn't want to hold the shelf anymore, and asked, "I don't know how the shopkeeper Fan is lifting?" ”

Shopkeeper Fan glanced at He Laosan, who was quiet, then at Mu Zhen, and asked carefully, "How about I give you ten cents for each piece?" ”

The purchase price of the shopkeeper Fan is already five cents more than that of other households, and now OnePlus is ten cents, which should be okay.

It's just that the shopkeeper Fan saw that Mu Zhen didn't speak, thinking that he was dissatisfied with the price, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Then add five more words, it really can't be more, otherwise my things will be too expensive to buy, and no one will want to sell them." ”

At this time, He Laosan, who was standing next to Mu Zhen, gently squeezed Mu Zhen's hand with his hand. The two have been together for so long, and this tacit understanding naturally exists.

So Mu Zhen pretended to be full of entanglement, and said: "Okay, it's really true to see the shopkeeper Fan doing business, let's just give way, and all these things will be left to the shopkeeper." ”

Regarding Mu Zhen's cheap and obedient appearance, He Laosan just wanted to laugh in his heart, but his face was still silent.

Shopkeeper Fan looked at Mu Zhen helplessly and said, "You little girl, if you don't come to do business, you will really lose money." ”

And Shopkeeper Liu, who has been watching a good show on the side, laughed: "Shopkeeper Fan, you can be regarded as an opponent in chess now, and the person who can make you Shopkeeper Fan not take advantage of it, except for this girl, I really haven't found it." ”

turned around, looked at He Laosan again, and said: "Your daughter-in-law is amazing, I see, ordinary people can't lower her." The last time I came to buy seeds, I thought it was a person who couldn't live, but I didn't expect it to be a ghost. The shopkeeper Fan on the side had a helpless expression on his face and said, "Third child, your daughter-in-law is really right." It's the first time I've been in business for so long that I haven't taken advantage of it, hey, it's really uncomfortable. ”

Listening to the two praising Mu Zhen again and again, He Laosan still had that faint expression and said, "My daughter-in-law must be smart." ”

Although it is a sentence, the arrogant appearance is fully revealed.

The business was negotiated, and the relationship between the two of them became more familiar with each other in the future, and Mu Zhen explained what she said.

"Shopkeeper Fan, I want to discuss something with you. As far as a few of us know, if my mother-in-law comes to ask, you will say the price at the beginning. Every family has a difficult scripture, I believe that with the transparency of the shopkeeper, I have also been to our house a few times, and I must have seen some way. ”

There is no suspicion in employing people, Mu Zhen's confession surprised the shopkeeper Fan, but he was more willing to deal with Mu Zhen, "Okay, it's all according to what you said." I promise that I won't reveal a single word. ”

The shopkeeper Liu on the side listened to it and said, "Little girl, there is still me as an outsider." ”

Mu Zhen smiled and said to Shopkeeper Liu: "You are not an outsider. Last time I went to your place to buy seeds, you gave me an extra pack, not to mention, but also asked Xiao Er to give me a special one, your character. I believe it all. ”

In the other eleven household items, there are nine fences, a basket, and a basket.

The price was negotiated, and the shopkeeper Fan gave 875 Wen to He Laosan at one time. In addition to the 460 wen given to the Song family, the husband and wife also got 315 wen.
