Chapter 254: Selling the "Future"
The shopkeeper was stunned, stopped, and looked at the cuckoo in surprise.
Huang Laoshi immediately said: "That's my daughter!" β
The shopkeeper's forehead was sweating, he swallowed dryly, and laughed awkwardly.
However, at this time, he revealed the inferior nature of human beings: he refused to admit his mistakes, instinctively shirked and justified himself. While his eyes slipped to Feng Xingye, he complained in his heart: This can't be blamed on him, who made this guest's son look like someone else!
He automatically ignored the part of Huang Yuan's body that resembled Huang Honestly.
Huang Yuan was already ashamed, and when he saw his ambiguous expression, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he was even more furious, and shouted: "That's my uncle!" It's not right for a nephew to be like an uncle? β
The shopkeeper said with a sad face: "Yes, yes! It's the villain who deserves to die, blind ......"
Why was he so unlucky?
Meet such a complete family!
Only then did Du Juan and the others suddenly realize that he had made a mistake for Lu.
Feng Changshun and Feng Shi tacitly exchanged glances without saying a word.
The shopkeeper wiped his sweat and changed the topic, saying that it was rare for them to buy so much, so the price was reduced by one percent, and a piece of insect-eaten fabric was sent to the sister-in-law to go home to stain her shoes.
This is a disguised atonement.
Du Juan and Huang Li were not satisfied, saying that it was too insincere to buy so much to let Yicheng, and they would not be so stingy if they changed to another family.
So, in the stunned eyes of Huang Yuan and others, the two sisters were so clever that they were stunned to kill the price to seven folds.
After the negotiation was decided, the shopkeeper wiped a handful of sweat, happy and sad. Although the price is lower, fortunately, these people buy a lot. So he's not too much of a loss.
The Huang family not only bought clothes, but also bed sheets, gauze tents, etc. Many of them were dowries for the Yellow Bird.
After checking out, Feng Xingye, Huang Laoshi, Huang Xiaobao, and Huang Yuan. Even the cuckoo and yellow bird are holding a stack of fabrics in their hands, and they have made a big purchase.
Huang Li smiled happily.
Du Juan glanced at Huang Yuan with a smile, meaning that the shopkeeper said the wrong thing.
Seeing her like this, Huang Yuan's face couldn't help but turn red again, his heart was like a deer, and he hurriedly lowered his eyes.
Coming out of the cloth shop, Ren Sanhe just came to find it, so everyone sent the fabric to the car first, and then turned around and came back to continue shopping.
Needles, threads, brains, scissors, awls. Even the tongs were bought.
When he came to a jewelry shop, Huang Yuan said to Du Juan and Huang Li: "Go in and pick up some silver jewelry." β
He has regained his composure.
The cuckoo said, "Go in and have a look." If you buy it, you don't need it. β
Huang Li also said: "Yes, just take a look." β
Her face was full of interest, but she didn't plan to buy it in the slightest.
Huang Yuan whispered to Du Juan: "Although we don't have any money, we can always buy a pair of earrings or a silver hairpin; If you don't buy it, you feel uncomfortable looking at it. How much silver did you bring? β
I had just bought a lot of cloth in the cloth shop, and all the money he had with him was almost spent. And his savings were all handed over to Cuckoo, so asked.
Cuckoo smiled, "I brought some." Buy it or not, you can do it! β
She didn't explain much, in fact, she didn't buy it not only to save money, but also for another reason: in Quanshui Village. It's not good to dress too out of place. The Lin family is rich, but they don't wear gold or silver, and they are covered in ayaluo.
Huang Yuan had no choice but to give up, but he thought she was reluctant.
Walk into the shop. The cuckoo's eyes lit up.
This shop doesn't look high-end, it should be for ordinary people. But. Among them, there are also a lot of gold, jade and pearls, and more silver jewelry and colorful colored stones and silk flowers. All kinds of headwear, necklaces, earrings, bracelets, bracelets have a wide variety of patterns, complete varieties, dazzling.
Huang Li was stunned, and his eyes couldn't be opened.
The cuckoo turned around, and also found the wooden hairpin and wooden bead bracelet, although not as good as Lin Chun's doing, it is also exquisite, and the price is not expensive; Those silver jewelry and flower cakes are also very delicate and chic, and I can't help but sigh at the dexterity of the ancient craftsmen.
Huang Yuan didn't know that she was thinking so much, and when he saw that she was looking so seriously, he persuaded: "Just buy some." Buy two for you and the eldest sister and the younger sister. Yuanmengzhai still has some income, I go back to teach, I can also earn some family, I don't have to be so frugal. Besides, the eldest sister is getting married, and she has to buy some heads; You and your little sister are not out of line. β
Du Juan smiled and said, "Just help the eldest sister buy two." β
The flower lady of this jewelry shop recognized Huang Yuan, the owner of Yuanmengzhai.
Some time ago, the two cases were in an uproar, Huang Yuan was abandoned by the Yang family, and recognized his father and mother, and everyone in the city knew about it. These people in front of him are probably his new family. Just look at their outfits, and know that their family background is not good. Huang Yuan was so shy that he couldn't even buy jewelry for his sisters.
She stepped forward with a smile and said, "Huang Xiucai wants to add some head jewelry for his sisters?" β
Huang Yuan was slightly embarrassed, and Shi Li said: "It's no longer a talent in the next place, and the shopkeeper doesn't have to be polite." In the next day, I will lead my father and sisters to walk around Fucheng, and if I meet a suitable one, I will buy one or two. β
Hua Niangzi didn't pay attention to his explanation that he was "not a showman", looked at Du Juan and Huang Li attentively, and praised: "Sister Huang Xiucai is such a beauty!" β
After speaking, he said to Huang Yuan in a consultative tone: "The little woman wanted to ask Huang Xiucai to help the little woman paint a portrait, but she didn't have so much face and didn't dare to ask." If Huang Xiucai is willing to help, she will help the little woman draw one today; Then he promised to wait until she was thirty years old, and give the little woman a painting painted by herself, regardless of the scenery or the characters, and the little woman would choose suitable jewelry with the two yellow girls in the small shop. β
She didn't say the quantity, because she believed that a scholar like Huang Yuan would not be greedy for her because he valued face the most, and Huang Yuan's paintings would definitely be valuable in the future.
Huang Yuanqi said: "The shopkeeper believes so much that she will become famous in the future?" β
The shopkeeper covered her mouth and smiled: "Huang Gongzi, your current paintings are already very famous!" Little women won't suffer. β
She thought he was embarrassed, so she dismissed him.
Feng Changshun and the others were all excited and shocked, looking at Huang Yuan and Yourongyan.
The cuckoo was shocked by this sales pitch - isn't this just a deferred payment? Or called futures trading.
This landlady has a lot of brains!
Seeing that Huang Yuan's expression was a little loose, Huang Li was also eager to try. She hurriedly said, "No! We don't. β
The flower lady was surprised: "Why didn't Miss Huang agree?" β
She felt that she was not asking too much, which should be a good thing for both sides!
The cuckoo smiled and said, "Being a man should be at peace at any time." Our family is poor now. Even if my brother exchanged his paintings for jewelry, we didn't wear them. and garments; If you have good clothes, you need someone to serve them, so that you will not spoil the clothes and jewelry. The shopkeeper thinks about it, isn't this asking for trouble! It's better to wait for the younger brother to come out in the future and the family is rich, what to wear, it will naturally come naturally. Why sell 'the future' here today? β
"Be punctual, good! Selling the 'future'? It's me who has a lot of trouble. β
Huang Yuan lowered his head and muttered to himself.
The cuckoo leaned closer to him and whispered, "It's that you're thinking too much." I'm not just here to save money, either. In our village, the out-of-the-box dress is too eye-catching. easy to cause trouble; Relatives will also be jealous, thinking that your family is so rich that you can cause a lot of trouble. It's better to keep a low profile. β
Huang Yuan stared at her and said softly, "It's up to you." β
Huang Li also woke up from the jewels and said no.
The flower lady was full of taste, looked at the Huang family sisters and admired, and flattered: "Miss Huang is really considerate." It's so rare to be so gentle and virtuous! β
Du Juan smiled and said: "Don't be disappointed, the shopkeeper lady, we will still pick two things, and we won't come into your shop in vain." β
said. motioned for her to come out with a silver hairpin and watch.
Picking, the cuckoo helped Huang Que choose a silver hairpin and a pair of silver earrings; He also helped Huang Li choose a simple silver hairpin, "Use this to test the poison." The Yellow Woman wears it to ensure personal safety. β
Huang Yuan was amused by her, and Huang Li pinched the silver hairpin and smiled from ear to ear. I didn't hear what the second sister said at all.
Even so, Daddy Huang was distressed when he saw it.
However, the cuckoo did not buy anything. He couldn't say anything. As for Huang Que'er, the Lin family gave a generous dowry. It was right for her to have these dowries.
Coming out of the jewelry shop, Huang Yuan's mood was bright. let go of the weight and calmness, showing the liveliness of the teenager. He and the cuckoo each took the oriole by the hand and ran to the front in high spirits.
This street is called Fisherman's Alley, and it is the oldest street in Jingzhou City.
The old streets of a city carry the memories and traces of the past, as if the city is a microcosm, carrying the local folk customs and cultural heritage. They are not as rich and spacious as New Street, but they tend to be popular.
The thick shade of the ancient trees hides the summer heat. Standing in the middle of the street, looking at both ends, the street looks like a promenade covered by a green dome; The shops on both sides have low fronts and ancient buildings; There are many small vendors scattered on the street, some selling snacks, some selling fruits, everything; There are even big drums and books juggling under some big trees, and people are shaking big pu fans to watch the excitement, and bursts of cheers erupt from time to time.
The yellow oriole went crazy and drilled everywhere.
Huang Yuan and the cuckoo ran with her, sometimes stopping to greet her:
"Dad, mother, hurry up!"
"Brother Xiaobao, don't be stunned, follow us."
"Grandpa, grandpa, come and eat this!"
β¦β¦
Unlike before, when the cuckoo sees something to sell, he must buy it and taste it.
And for good reason: she's here to learn the craft.
She learned that she could cook it for everyone when she got home.
Not to mention the yellow oriole, that mouth never stopped.
Everyone was surprised: how could that thin little body, like a bottomless pit, disappear after eating? I didn't hear her shouting.
Steamed cakes, pancakes, all kinds of steamed buns, dumplings, fried fruits, candied dried fruits, etc., there is a stall or picker in a few steps, which makes people dizzy. I bought rice cakes, and I saw hemp cakes in front of me; As soon as I bought sesame cakes, I saw a window selling braised pork; Carrying a bag of braised pork was walking, suddenly the spicy smell was tangy, and when I looked up, there was hot air in the cauldron in front of me, and "beef offal" was written crookedly on the oblique curtain, and the brothers and sisters hurriedly ran over again......
After walking a short distance, Huang Li could not hold hands with his brothers and sisters: holding them in his hands, eating in his mouth, and his eyes were not idleβlooking around, his feet walking was even more irregular.
Huang Yuan and Du Juan supported her on the left and right, preventing her from bumping into someone or being bumped into by someone. (To be continued......)
