Chapter 11: Buying Tiles
readx;??? The ox cart traveled for more than an hour and arrived at Shiwan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info beauty, gram starter!
After passing through Shiwan Village, I turned into a fork in the road, and after walking for about a quarter of an hour, I saw a large bare loess field in front of me.
In the middle is a wide flat land, one side is the entrance, one side is a high pile of many fired bricks and tiles, the other two sides along the hill digging seven or eight kiln mouths, next to the kiln mouth are stacked piles of yellow mud, brick and tile molds, firewood for the kiln, wooden barrels, wooden basins, shovels, carts and other things. Five or six workers in patched short brown were busy.
Seeing them coming, Shi Laocai, the owner of the field, came over with a smile on his hands and looked at him: "This old brother, are you here to buy bricks or tiles?" ā
Li Damu smiled and said, "My neighbor's roof is going to be repaired, so I came here to buy some tiles." ā
"Oh, please, please! The mud I use here is good, the kiln is good, and the tiles fired are of the best quality, durable, and the price is fair! Hehe! Shi Laocai smiled and led them to the pile of tiles stacked on the side.
Lian Fangzhou said with a smile: "Of our three rooms, one and a half need to be replaced with new tiles, and the other one and a half are afraid that they will have to be replaced." It's going to be two rooms in total! That's about fifty square meters in total! You calculate how much you need. ā
She smiled shyly and said, "We don't want much, and I'm embarrassed to negotiate the price with you anymore!" Just say a fair price! When I build a new house in the future, I will come back to you! ā
Lian Fangzhou spoke clearly, his language was fluent, and he spoke clearly and clearly, and he was stunned to hear Shi Laocai.
Shi Laocai couldn't help but half-squint his eyes and looked at the girl in front of him, fourteen or fifteen years old, slightly thin, wearing old and clean jujube red and broken coarse cloth clothes, his face was thin, but his eyes were bright, his small lips were smiling, with a slight smile on his face, combing the common drooping hair of a country girl, neat, neat, neat, and the whole person exuded a spiritual energy, which made people can't help but feel good when they see it.
Shi Laocai couldn't help laughing, looked at Lian Fangzhou and said a few "good" words, gave a thumbs up and smiled: "This girl is really a clever and smart person, hehe, I don't know which family is so blessed and has such a good daughter!" Cheng, just say that to you, old man, I listen comfortably, I will give you the lowest price, and I will give you the best things! ā
"Then thank you Boss Shi!" Lian Fangzhou smiled and nodded.
Lian Ze has seen Lian Fangzhou's tongue in the past two days, and he doesn't feel anything, but Li Damu is the same as Shi Laocai, stunned!
Lian Fangzhou's performance just now completely subverted her impression in his heart.
If it weren't for the person or that person, his appearance hadn't changed at all, and Lian Ze was also beside him, he almost had to wonder, was the girl in front of him really Lian Fangzhou?
Li Damu sighed secretly: It seems that the Yang family's retreat and the Hua family's daughter-in-law's spoon are really too stimulating for this girl!
Shi Laocai smiled and said, "You're welcome" and suddenly had the intention of teasing, and then smiled at Lian Fangzhou again: "Little girl, my tile is so big, if you can calculate how many pieces you need, I will give you another two percent cheaper, how about it?" ā
Lian Fangzhou's eyes flashed, but he smiled: "How can I be so accurate, don't be kidding." ā
Shi Laocai waved his hand, swept the beard that was neither long nor short, and said with a smile: "I'm not joking, I'm serious!" Hehe, in fact, who can count a piece as good, as long as it is not far behind, you win! ā
Looking at Shi Laocai's interesting eyes, Lian Fangzhou thought about it, then nodded and smiled politely: "Since this is the case, then I will be ugly, if I am not accurate, uncle, don't laugh at me!" ā
Shi Laocai smiled and said, "No, no, you can come and see." ā
The workers who were working heard it, and when they saw that even a little girl like Fangzhou could count, they couldn't help but be curious and stopped their work and gathered around to see the excitement, and whispered about it.
Lian Fangzhou took a piece of tile, and calculated the length and width with her fingers, and calculated the area, this ground is a thin layer of loess, she casually folded a thin branch and squatted down, and scratched it on the ground casually.
The workers had never seen Arabic numerals, and when they saw her scratching on the ground, they couldn't help but make a big "huh" sound, and one of them couldn't help but ask Shi Laocai: "Boss Shi, what did this little girl write?" ā
"yes, what kind of word is this? It's weird! ā
"No, I've never seen one."
"I said, is this a word? How do I feel like the talisman drawn by Zhang Tianshi in the Five Clouds Temple! ā
When the crowd heard this, they couldn't help but laugh.
Lian Ze couldn't help but blush when he saw them making fun of Lian Fangzhou, and said loudly: "Since my sister dares to try, she will definitely be able to do it!" What are you laughing at? What's so funny! ā
Everyone laughed even louder when they heard this, laughing and making fun of Lian Ze.
Shi Laocai "coughed" twice, and then it stopped.
Lian Fangzhou smiled slightly, neither distinguishing nor embarrassed, but assigning his own like a cloud.
In fact, this is a very simple math problem, but after two or three sentences, she has already calculated it, and reported a number with a smile. At the same time, he stood up and wiped all the marks on the ground with his feet.
"It's okay so soon?" Shi Laocai was dumbfounded, and everyone was stunned all of a sudden.
You don't need to calculate accounts, and it's so fast, it's really evil!
"Boss, right, right!" There was a lot of talk and they couldn't wait.
Shi Laocai glared: Where do you know about him? He'll have to do the math to find out!
Before he could give him, a worker had already rushed to get the abacus and handed it to him with both hands. Countless pairs of eyes stared at him in unison.
"Sister, are you accurate?" Lian Ze couldn't help but ask Lian Fangzhou in a whisper. Li Damu also looked at it with concern.
Lian Fangzhou was not in a hurry, glanced at the abacus beads and swept away Boss Shi, who was flying, and said with a smile: "I'll know when Boss Shi calculates it!" ā
Her calm expression and tranquil smile made the apprehensive Lian Ze suddenly settle down, and Lian Ze blurted out: "I believe that my sister must be right." ā
"Oh?" Lian Fangzhou laughed, "Why? ā
Lian Ze said stubbornly: "I don't know, anyway, I just believe in my sister." ā
Lian Fangzhou nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Good brother." ā
"God! It's amazing! Shi Laocai looked at the numbers on the abacus and was speechless in shock.
"It's really accurate!"
"Isn't it! That's it! ā
The workers were also amazed.
Li Damu and Lian Ze were heartbroken, and the two looked at each other and smiled, both of them rejoicing for Lian Fangzhou.
Someone couldn't help but say, "Boss, why don't you count it again?" ā
Shi Laocai slapped the back of the man's head, and his eyes glared: "You murderer!" How? I suspect I'm not right! ā
"No, it's not ......" The man's face turned red and hurriedly denied it, causing everyone to laugh.
"Laugh at what, laugh at what! Don't hurry up and get to work! Shi Laocai glared at everyone.
Everyone agreed, and couldn't help but look at Lian Fangzhou a few more times and talked about it.
"Boss Shi, what you said just now is a good idea, right?" Li Damu said with a smile.
"Count! Of course! Shi Laocai nodded very dryly, and gave Lian Fangzhou a thumbs up: "Miss Lian is really the smartest girl I have ever seen, really good!" But, girl, what are you just doing on the ground? (Markor Literature)
