Chapter Ninety-Six: Black Heart
However, separated by a wall, the movement of the hall naturally can't hide the peppercorns that the east house is concerned about. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
What's more, the shopkeeper Guo was in good spirits and his voice was loud, and he did not deliberately lower his voice, from peppercorns to cloves in the east room, one after another, identifying the appearance and color, and slowly falling silent.
Hua Jiao heard Father Qin's voice sound: "Where is this, you are an expert." As much as you give me, I will take as much as I want. ”
Huajiao only heard his voice and didn't see his person, so naturally he couldn't see the expressions of everyone in the hall, and he didn't know the wry smile on the face of the shopkeeper Guo. I only heard him say: "You are embarrassed for me, and this is the first time I have opened my eyes." ”
Father Qin personally refilled the tea for him: "You also said it, we are all our own people, you just have to speak." ”
Shopkeeper Guo thought about it for a while, and then hugged his fists and said: "Since everything has been said about this, then I will take the liberty." As he spoke, he pointed to the handful of white celery and said, "Brother Qin, our businessman pays attention to the three chapters of the law, and I have to tell you some things in advance." ”
After a slight pause in his words, he saw that Father Qin motioned for him to continue, and said: "What is the price of this white celery in the capital, I will talk about the ugly words first, and the transaction between us is a matter of two yards, we are the local price of the white celery." In this way, your white celery of more than two points, I wrapped it round, one pound and two hundred wen, what do you think? ”
Father Qin didn't think about it, and still said the same sentence: "How much you give me, I will take as much as I want, and two hundred will be two hundred." However, there is also something to say in front of him: "It's just the relationship between our family and the Fang Mansion, as you know, is bound to be honored." So it's hard to know how much celery you can give you at that time. It can only be said that you will give you as much as you have when the time comes, and you will never sell it to a second one. ”
The peppercorns in the East House let out a long breath, and the heart that had been carrying it was finally relaxed. I heard that the shopkeeper Guo was already stroking his palms and smiled: "This is natural, Brother Qin is really a refreshing person, then it is decided." ”
As he spoke, he heard the sound of rustling, and it turned out that the shopkeeper Guo had taken out the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and ink from the blanket he was carrying, and wrote the deed in one go.
Father Qin took the deed and read it twice, and when he saw that there was no problem, he pressed his handprint.
Huajiao felt that the shopkeeper Guo must have breathed a sigh of relief, and after the shopkeeper Guo put the deed in the blanket, he sat down and said a few words of gossip, and then took his leave.
Father Qin knew that they were going back to the city in a hurry, but he didn't stay in vain, but just asked Shopkeeper Guo to come back as a guest when he was free.
Shopkeeper Guo also said: "After the year, I will be the owner of the Pinsheng Pavilion, and when the time comes, I will give my brother a post, you must come." ”
"Definitely, definitely." Father Qin personally sent Shopkeeper Guo to the car, and when he saw Fang Liang winking at him, Father Qin nodded slightly and watched them leave.
Seeing that the carriage gradually disappeared from sight, Father Qin turned around and turned back, Qin Lianlong, who had been following him, glanced at Qin Lianhu, and said to the old man: "This Guo shopkeeper, I don't think it's authentic. ”
Father Qin picked up the peppercorns at his feet, but said: "The land is not authentic, it has nothing to do with us, I only recognize the deed in black and white." ”
The deed was held in Qin Lianhu's hand, Qin Lianlong heard what Qin's father said, took the deed and glanced at it, and couldn't help but "tsk" and said: "This old man, he agreed on this stubble of white celery in the field, doesn't this want to leave our family and make a fortune in the future, right?" ”
Father Qin didn't think so, and said lightly: "How can it be so easy to get rich, if you can get rich by him twice, we might as well rest this thought as soon as possible." ”
As soon as Qin Lianhu and Brother Qin Lianlong heard this, their hearts were naturally steady.
They are all apprentices, although they are not to follow Lao Tzu to learn the arts, or to learn the craft from the old man, there is no hidden danger of "teaching apprentices, starving masters", but the way to know is still known, naturally pay attention to the master, the hand is pinched with the core craft will not be revealed, it is bound to keep a hand.
Huajiao naturally understands this truth, although from the perspective of modern people, the ancient adage of "teaching apprentices, starving masters" is indeed dross. You can follow the local customs and put yourself in the shoes of this widely circulated so-called wise saying. It does have its own justification.
After all, in such an era, science is backward and productivity is low, and being able to master a craft is enough to settle down and even shadow future generations. A craft is a rice bowl, can feed a large population, the fierce competition is far beyond the imagination of pepper. Once the master teaches the apprentice, it is very possible that his job will be ruined, and he will not be able to eat enough. There is no way to keep a hand.
Even like Father Qin, an old man who is so enlightened in the eyes of Hua Jiao, in addition to passing on his art to his son, he will never accept apprentices, which is such a worry.
After sending away Guo's shopkeeper Fang Liang and the others, Father Qin went to the backyard to observe Bai Qin again.
Only then did the pepper remember the purse that Guo shopkeeper gave her before, and she untied the purse on the stool and poured it out, and saw that it was two plum blossom-style silver bills, and the word "wealth" was engraved on it.
The smooth hand fell into the hand, but it was a big jump.
Busy holding the silver bills to show their grandmother and mother, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't expect that the purse that the shopkeeper Guo casually untied for the peppercorns to play with was actually containing two eight-cent silver bills.
If in the Fang family, although such silver bills are rare, they are not uncommon, and there are rewards in the house during the New Year's holidays. But ordinary people use copper, and silver ingots are rare, not to mention all kinds of silver ingots that can only be poured out by dumping silver shops in this way.
Although Qin Lao Niang also saved some silver coins in the Fang family back then, she was not willing to take them out when the family was in the most difficult time, and saved them for her daughter-in-law to pass on to the family.
However, since I have appreciated the peppercorns, I put the two silver bills into my purse for the peppercorns and handed them to Roche: "You can keep them for her, this is also rare." ”
Luo Shi should be, Hua Jiao raised his head and said, "I want to give one to the fourth sister." ”
Qin Lao Niang laughed hehehe, pinching the ears of the pepper with affection on her face, and Luo also smiled and simply bent down and hung the purse on the waist of the pepper: "Let's play with my sister, don't lose it." ”
Sichuan pepper kept nodding, holding the purse and going to find bay leaves.
The two little things played for a long time with two silver bills, but Lilac was reprimanding the fourth and fifth cousins: "Our white celery has to be sold for money, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense outside." ”
The fourth cousin and the fifth cousin were all a little weak-hearted, but they were reprimanded by Lilac like this, but they couldn't get over their faces, and they couldn't help but say inwardly: "I know, I know, let's talk about it, you can take a needle and sew up our mouths." ”
Huajiao couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and naturally knew that there was a reason for Lilac's words.
However, if you say that the fourth cousin and the fifth cousin will be unprepared when they talk before, since they understand that this white celery is worth a lot of money, this mouth is like a mussel shell, but it is as tight as it is.
In the evening, when Qin Lianxiong and Qin Lianfeng, who had gone out to fight, came back, they were overjoyed when they heard that someone had ordered a deed. However, after hearing the price, Qin Lianfeng couldn't help but glare: "Why is it only two hundred yuan a catty, and the shopkeeper's heart is too dark." ”
As soon as this sentence came out, Huajiao realized that it was the voice of many people. Not only the brothers and sisters around him, but also Du Shi all agreed.
Father Qin also realized that this was indeed a pimple. (To be continued.) )
