Chapter 3 Buy, Buy, Buy
Of course, Zhang Yiyi couldn't take Xiaoliang anywhere when he first arrived, and he wouldn't go on the road, but he had to beg Xiaoliang to lead the way. www.biquge.info Of course, for Xiao Liang, Xiao Liang is very happy to be able to help his sister do things. But, "Sister, what are we going to do with the carpenter?" ”
"Of course, it's to help us make furniture, the beds and tables at home are too old, and I have to be woken up by the 'creak' sound of the bed when I turn over at night, I'm really afraid of when it will collapse, and the tables and chairs will be even more, I don't dare to sit on it, and I don't know when I fall." Although the house is really dilapidated, the mud brick walls are still very strong, but the furniture in the house is not good, and it looks trembling.
The carpenter in the village is Zhang Sanbo, and their family has always been the only carpenter in the village, although they have no land, but they have a craft and live well.
"Uncle San, are you at home? I want to make some furniture. "Zhang Sanbo's home is a very large wooden house, very exquisitely repaired, I heard that it is modeled after the big mansion in the town, but Zhang Yiyi knows that it is impossible at a glance, although exquisite, but it is relative to the thatched house in the village, and there is still a distance from the town outside. (╯_╰)
"Who? Clothes. A middle-aged man came out of the house and saw a beautiful girl standing in front of the door, his eyes lit up instantly, but outsiders did not often come to the village, and he was a little confused for a while. When I looked down at Xiao Liang, I realized that it was Xiao Liang's sister who had recently come back from the Qinglou, and her stunning expression became a little disdainful for a while, so she said Why is it so beautiful, it turned out to be a fox. Zhang Sanbo only said hello politely, and did not let Zhang Yiyi enter the door.
"How much silver does it cost to order two wooden beds, a set of tables and stools, two wooden basins, two buckets, and a bath bucket?" Zhang Yiyi naturally saw the change in Zhang Sanbo's face. I didn't have a good mood anymore, and since I don't like me, I don't have anything to do with you, and I'm talking business.
Seeing that a big customer was coming, Zhang Sanbo's attitude finally corrected a little: "A simple bed costs half a penny, a set of tables and stools costs two hundred yuan, and a wooden basin and barrel cost twenty yuan." The delicate ones are more expensive, a bed costs two taels of silver, and a set of tables and chairs is half a penny. ”
"How simple is it, how is it exquisite?" The price difference is too big, this exquisite can still be pasted with gold.
"The simple ones are four feet wide and unvarnished, and the delicate ones are six feet wide and carved and lacquered. The lacquer is the best lacquer, a bucket can cost five taels, and it will give you a discount for the sake of the same village, otherwise it will be more than this price. Zhang Sanbo shook his five fingers, looking heartbroken, but Zhang Yiyi obviously saw a flash of light in his eyes.
"Do you have a finished product for me to see?" A carpenter who spends most of his time making woodwork for the villagers also buys such expensive wood lacquer to bluff children.
"It just so happened that the big family in the town ordered a carved bed, which was just made yesterday, and you can come in and have a look." Zhang Sanbo frowned, but soon led Zhang Yiyi into the door with a smile.
This yard looks very large from the outside, and when you come in, you find that there is actually no space, and the yard is stacked with all kinds of wood and some semi-finished products. Zhang Sanbo took Yiyi and Xiaoliang into a large thatched hut next to him, where many finished products were placed, and one of the carved beds was particularly conspicuous.
Zhang Yiyi walked around the big bed, touched the bed board and bed frame, and shook his head in disgust, "Third uncle, with all due respect, this bed... It's not worth two taels of silver. You see that the edge of this bed board is rough and uneven, and even the people of the big family are the main ones with tender flesh and white skin, if you accidentally hurt someone's hand in this bed, they are not willing to accept your bed. There is also this lacquer, although it is bright but there is no trace of heritage, and most of the wood grain of the wood itself is covered, which is not very beautiful, and is worth at most one or two silver. ”
"What? A tael of silver? Yiyi, the paint used by the third uncle alone is more than one or two silver, if you are too expensive, it is better to look at the simple. As soon as he heard that Zhang Yiyi disliked his craft, his originally smiling face immediately darkened, if he hadn't thought that a simple bed could make a lot of money, he would have blasted out a long time ago.
"It's not a matter of money, Uncle San, I'm also a person who has seen the world, I've seen a lot of all kinds of beds, and your bed is really not worth two taels of silver. For this price, two exquisite large beds, and the rest should be simple, and I will give you two two hundred and eighty dollars. "It's not good to be exquisite, let alone ordinary, can you still sleep?
"No, I'm going to lose money, at least three or two hundred dollars, and the fraction behind it will be erased for you."
"At most, two or four hundred yuan, if it doesn't work, I'll work hard to buy it in the town, and the two-bed store will definitely help deliver it, and it's not troublesome." Zhang Yiyi deliberately frowned, with a posture that if you don't sell me, I will leave, there is no one who is better at bargaining than a thrifty citizen.
"What town to go to, how troublesome it is, how convenient it is for me to be here. It's just that two or four hundred dollars is too little, so add another two hundred dollars, right? I'll do it for you in three days. "As soon as I heard that I didn't buy Zhang Sanbo, I was anxious, so it was two taels of silver, the village was full of poor ghosts, I usually occasionally bought a pot, pretended to be a door or something, and there was no big household a year, two taels were two taels, but the price was so low that I couldn't get off the stage, so I had to pretend to be embarrassed and add another two hundred dollars, and when she refused again, she agreed to sell it.
"Okay, give you two, two or six hundred yuan, you send me the things in three days, pay it off at once, they are all from the same village, I won't fix the deposit without a fixed amount." It's all from the same village, Zhang Yiyi didn't go too far, and then give Sanbo some face, so as not to make trouble if he has a revenge, and his reputation is not good.
"Huh? Oh, good, good, I'll send it to you in three days. I didn't expect Zhang Yiyi to agree directly, Zhang Sanbo was stunned for a moment before reacting, and when he heard that Zhang Yiyi trusted himself so much and paid it off at one time, he was overjoyed, although this child is not easy to fool, but he is still a good person, but it is a pity to make that inferior living, otherwise such a good character and such a good appearance, there are many good people asking to marry.
"It's troublesome Sanbo, it's not too early, I'll go back first." After buying a new bed, Zhang Yiyi was in a good mood, snorted Xiaoliang's malnourished hair, and said goodbye and went home.
"Sister, my bed is still very strong, why buy two, two taels of silver are enough to eat for half a year, or full for half a year." Xiaoliang couldn't help it for a long time, but his father said that adults can't interject when talking about things, so he had to hold it back, and he couldn't help but ask as soon as he came out of the door of the third uncle.
"Good Xiaoliang, it's not just a new bed, when the spring ploughing is over, my sister will build a new house, you think, with a new house, how can there be no new bed." The kids are quite good at saving money.
"Building a new house? Are you sure? Is it a new house like my aunt's? As soon as I heard that I was going to build a new house, my frustrated little face immediately changed, my eyes narrowed into a slit, and my little mouth was almost to my ears.
"Of course it's true, but it's not the thatched house of my aunt's family, but the big brick house in the town." Rubbing Xiaoliang's skinny little face, this kid is really cute when he laughs.
amused Xiaoliang, Zhang Yiyi was also happy, and after thinking about it, he didn't go home directly, but took Xiaoliang to the house next door to Mother-in-law Yuan's house.
Xiaoliang: Sister, why do you want to buy such a big bed?
Zhang Yiyi: You can roll around on the bed and play.
Xiaoliang: What's the fun of getting out of here?
Checkmate:...... You'll know when you grow up. Madam, I'll roll the sheets with you.
