Chapter 4 Failure to Receive

Shen Nianqing saw that Shishi's face was better, and then smiled and said: "Shishi, it's not that we don't want to go with you, but you see, my sister and brother are still young, and compared to a body like yours, that kind of trek is unbearable!" ”

Hearing this, Shi glanced at Shen Yuanheng, who was not a little thin, and Shen Biyao, who was soft and weak, and thought, these two small bodies really can't be compared with themselves, this Shen Nianqing is still a bit eyesight!

Thinking of this, Shi nodded at Shen Nianqing with some pride, and said, "That's nature." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Shen Nianqing looked at the effective fruit of the sycophant shot, and suddenly felt happy, and smiled at the stone: "Stone, we can't go, but Ah Mei is very interested in that gem, I wonder if you can bring us a piece or two back?" Don't worry, I won't take you for nothing, don't you like to eat the bean paste cake made by my aunt? You bring me two gems, and I'll ask A-Niang to make you a basket of bean paste cakes, do you think it's okay? ”

When Shi and his aunt went to Shen Nianqing's house as a guest before, they were full of praise for the bean paste cake made by the Li family, but the taste made by his own mother was always not as good as that made by the Li family, so he had already stored a little bit of thought about the bean paste cake in his heart. Seeing Shen Nianqing take the initiative to send it to the door, he was naturally so happy in his heart that he couldn't do it, and he responded happily at the moment: "It's done!" I'll bring a basket back for Sister Yao! You guys are waiting at home! Don't forget the bean paste cake! With that, he let out a long roar, and ran towards the hillside with a large group of half-grown children.

Shen Biyao was originally a little resentful of Shen Nianqing in her heart, but thinking that the stone would bring some gems back for herself, she also temporarily ironed some in her heart, pouted at Shen Nianqing and obediently followed back.

Shen An and Shi Dali rushed to the county seat of Anding County in an ox cart, but when Shen An saw the pottery store in front of him, he beat a drum in his heart. Would such a large store be able to afford this little bit of pottery?

Seeing Shen An's hesitant appearance, Shi Dali was very anxious, and urged: "Old Shen, what do you want?" Don't want to get in yet? ”

"Huh? Oh oh...... "Shen An walked into this shop called "Yin Tao Fang" with a box of pottery in a trance, and after entering the store, the purpose was the three-sided shelves embedded in the wall, the shelves extended directly from the ground to the height of the ceiling, and thousands of kinds of pottery of all sizes were placed in layers. There was also an endless stream of guests in the shop, and there was almost no place for Shen An and the two to stand.

A person who looked like a small guy came over when he saw Shen An and the others in the crowd, looked at the two of them quietly, and asked with a smile: "Are you here to buy pottery or sell pottery?" ”

Shen An came back to his senses, bowed to the little guy and said with a smile: "Selling, selling pottery." ”

The little guy nodded and replied, "The head of the house is in the backyard, and I'll take you there." ”

The pattern of the backyard is completely different from the front hall, if the front hall is a pottery collection, then the backyard is the imperial garden of the palace, as soon as you arrive in the backyard, you can hear the gurgling sound of flowing water, the chirping of birds, the sound of leaves flapping in the wind, the rockery is lined up, the pavilions and pavilions are completely worthy of the word "cave sky"!

Shen An and Shi Dali were taken by the little maid to a pavilion in the center of the backyard, and in the pavilion was a man about forty years old who looked quite shrewd. Seeing Shen An and the others, he smiled and asked the two to take a seat, and his tone was quite gentle, which made Shen An very embarrassed.

"I heard that you two are here to sell pottery?" The middle-aged man took a sip of tea and said to Shen An.

When Shen An saw the person's appearance and bearing, he suddenly felt that he was a little shorter, and couldn't help but stand up, bowed to the man, and said respectfully: "Yes, uncle!" ”

The middle-aged man was not embarrassed when he saw Shen An's cramped appearance, and smiled and comforted: "You don't have to be so nervous, I am the shopkeeper here, my surname is Yin, you can just call me the shopkeeper Yin!" ”

Shen An nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Shopkeeper Yin is good!" ”

Shopkeeper Yin nodded and said, "Give me your pottery first!" ”

Shen An nodded yes, carefully took out a few pieces of finished pottery from the box, put them on the table in the same way and put them neatly, and bowed to the shopkeeper Yin again and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, these are a few ornaments that the villain pondered, and the troublesome shopkeeper was tired to take a look at it and taste it." ”

Shopkeeper Yin looked at a few things on the table, paused, and slowly picked up one of the flat-bellied teapots, the teapot was made into the shape of a pumpkin, and a few vivid lotus leaves were depicted on the surface, and the branches of the lotus leaves and the surface of the teapot were inlaid together, which looked very pleasing. Shopkeeper Yin glanced back and forth a few times, carefully put it down and said to Shen An: "It's a good thing." ”

After receiving the affirmation of Shopkeeper Yin, Shen An and Shi Dali were greatly relieved in their hearts, it seems that their efforts have not been in vain!

"But," Shopkeeper Yin suddenly changed his words, and Shen An and Shi Dali's hearts suddenly mentioned, "I have a lot of such things in my shop, and no matter how many there are, I'm afraid there is no need for our small shop to accept them." In this case, I will take the things of the two of you first, and I will give you the money according to the price I said, but I don't have to bring anything after that! ”

After the shopkeeper Yin finished speaking, he stood up and said to the little guy next to him: "Xiao Li, send off the guests after giving the two of you wages." After finishing the instructions, he stopped talking, took the fish food and fed the koi in the pond, and never looked at Shen An and the others again.

Shen An brought a total of five kinds of pottery, according to the price on the market, it was about five yuan a piece, and the five kinds were a total of twenty-five yuan. The guys from Yin Taofang gave Shen An a total of eighty yuan, and in addition to the money for pottery, they also gave five yuan for carriage and horses.

Although Yin Taofang accepted his own pottery, Shen An also knew that it was because people were in a good mood and gave a face, but in fact, their own pottery was not in their eyes. Therefore, although he got his salary, Shen An was still more or less disappointed with this result.

Looking at Shen An's sullen appearance on the ox cart, Shi Dali had the heart to reassure: "Old Shen! What are you doing so boring, although you can't do business for a long time, but at least you get the eighty dollars! After all, I can live a good life for a month! In Shi Dali's view, it is already very good to be able to get some money back in the past, looking at the great business of the pottery shop, if you don't want to save your mind, you probably won't be able to get the money and lose a few dollars in material costs.

Shen An smiled and didn't speak.

When he arrived at the door, Shen An took out the money bag, took out the eighty wen he got this time and handed it to Shi Dali: "Brother Shi, this time it is thanks to you that I have this money, and I am also tired of you and I have run this trip, this money is nothing, I can only buy some candy for Xiaoshi to eat, don't dislike it!" ”

Shi Dali waved his hand again and again, shook his head vigorously and said, "Don't don't!" I didn't do anything! This money is all earned by your hard work, and I must not ask for it without my credit! ”

Shen An insisted, stuffed the money into Shi Dali's arms, turned around and ran home, so that Shi Dali didn't take it, glanced at Shen An's house, sighed and went back to his house.

The Li family and the three children of the Shen family were very happy to see Shen An coming back, and they all gathered around him happily, chattering about the situation this time.

Shen Anhan smiled, took out the remaining sixty yuan and handed it to the Li family: "Sixty yuan here, you buy two batches of new cloth for Sister Qing and Sister Yao, and then buy some pens and paper for Brother Heng, and buy some meat for the rest to marinate and keep it in the tun, so that it can be eaten for the New Year." ”

Li Shi was very happy to receive the sixty yuan, looked at Shen An and said excitedly: "Master, this ...... Is this done? ”

Shen An felt bitter in his heart at the look of anticipation on Li's face, and shook his head: "That shopkeeper only needs these pottery I have made, so that I don't need to bring pottery over in the future, this matter should be considered yellow." ”

Li was inevitably a little disappointed when he heard this.

Shen Nianqing looked at the decadent appearance of his parents, couldn't bear it, and tried hard to enliven the atmosphere: "Dad, no matter what, in the next month, my sister and brother will be able to eat meat every day, and I'm afraid that one by one will become big fat dolls!" Ha ha! ”

As soon as Shen Biyao heard Shen Nianqing say that she was going to become a fat doll, she was annoyed and chased after Shen Nianqing to make trouble: "Sister, what are you talking about!" Ah Yao don't become a fat doll! Sister bad! ”

Shen Nianqing dodged again and again, running around the house to avoid Shen Biyao, Shen Yuanheng also followed Shen Nianqing and chased after the noisy, Shen An and his wife looked at the scene of the three dolls giggling and laughing at home, and the depression in their hearts gradually dissipated. If you can't make money, what's there, as long as the family is neat and happy together, it doesn't matter if you have money or not.
