Li Zhongxian followed his son to a shop that looked clean and tidy from the outside, and there were fewer people queuing at the door, but there were still more than a dozen people waiting in line. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Long and Li Hu lined up in front of each other. Li Zhongxian also followed, and began to look at the façade of this shop by the way.

This shop is very large, and it is obvious that it should be the original three shops together, combined into one shop.

Overhead is a huge signboard that occupies the entire length of the shop, seemingly not wooden, with the name of the shop glittering in the morning sun.

It's obviously a blacksmith shop that sells hoes and other ironware, why can't it have a good name, what is it called?

Although he knew that his two sons wouldn't talk nonsense, Li Zhongxian still couldn't believe that the iron hoe of this shop would be sold so cheaply! Unless the hoe is very thin and light, it won't take long to break when digging. Otherwise, how can there be such a cheap hoe?

He wants to see how thin and bad the hoes in this shop are!

During the waiting time, people kept coming out of the shop, with smiles on their faces, as if they had gained a lot of benefits. It made Li Zhongxian more and more curious about this shop!

Finally, when it was their turn, a shopkeeper dressed in a gray cloth uniform and wearing a bowler felt hat came over and invited the Li father and son and seven other people into the shop together.

Li Zhongxian noticed that in addition to the fact that he had just come out, there were just 10 people coming out of the shop, and now 10 people have entered, it seems that this shop is entering and exiting in batches of 10 people, and keeping the customers in the shop not too many to cause crowding.

As soon as he walked into the shop, Li Zhongxian felt an eye-opener.

Not far from the door, there are rows of iron shelves. The shelves are lined with thin wooden planks, on which are placed various goods, most of which are made of iron.

Li Zhongxian looked up and looked inside, and the shop was more than ten steps deep, and he saw that there were many goods inside, divided into categories, and endlessly. As for the customers who bought the goods, Li Zhongxian estimated that there were nearly seventy or eighty.

The iron shelves inside were divided into square areas, and Li Zhongxian walked through the two areas and found that it seemed that there was a shopkeeper in charge of Zhang Luo in each area.

The first two areas are daily household ironware.

The front is an iron pot, there are hundreds of mouths, stacked sideways and leaning on the shelf, a small two came to introduce, there is a pig iron pot for stir-frying, and a wrought iron pot for cooking rice and soup, seeing that Li Zhongxian ignored him, he was not annoyed, and introduced it to the customers behind.

After the pot, it was an iron stove. Xiao Er said that the outside is a layer of cast iron, and the inside is a refractory insulation material, as long as charcoal or coal is put in, there will be a fire all day, which is very suitable for boiling soup, boiling water or baking fire in winter.

Li Zhongxian couldn't help but be envious, but he knew that the money on his body was only enough to buy an iron hoe.

Walking further inside, the iron products that Li Zhongxian saw were even more dazzling.

Kitchen knives, scissors, tongs, vegetable shovels, these small iron utensils in the kitchen, everything, and Li Zhongxian saw that on the shelf, there was a small label with a line of words written on it, and a string of strange symbols underneath.

He called his son, Li Long, who was accompanying him, and asked him, who was literate, to explain what this meant.

Li Long went to the shop first, he really didn't notice this small label, and when he looked at it, he read: "Zhenghe brand medium-sized cast iron tongs, priced at 100 Wen." ”

"It turned out to be the price!" Li Zhongxian said happily: "It's just right, my father is still a little afraid to ask about the price of those little two." Dalong, you come and see the price and tell Dad. ”

Further on, it is a daily paraphernalia.

Walking all the way, there are iron locks, copper locks, iron scales, and iron wires on one side; On the other side, there are pots and pots, of different sizes.

Li Long approached and looked at the label under a basin, and read: "Zhenghe brand medium-sized Tang porcelain iron basin, priced at 500 Wen." ”

"Tang porcelain iron basin? This thing turned out to be a basin, and this white one is also iron? Li Zhongxian asked puzzled. It's just that his son Li Long can't answer him.

But the little two next to him saw it, and came up to explain: "It is an enamel iron basin, which is a new technology from the West, with a total of three layers, one layer of enamel inside and outside, that is, porcelain, and a layer of wrought iron in the middle, which is durable, extremely exquisite, and the price is very affordable." In addition to basins, there are other enamel utensils, such as this enamel iron bucket, enamel teacup, and enamel bowl, which are all very good. Guests can look at it at will! ”

Li Zhongxian understood. The stuff is excellent, but the price, hey, it's not expensive, but I just can't afford it. Therefore, he could only mumble a sentence sourly: "The surface is shiny, flashy!" I don't know where he learned this sentence when he didn't read a book.

Li Hu on the side didn't know what his father was thinking, so he rushed to the shelf at the entrance of an aisle in front of him and shouted: "Dad, brother, come and see, there are a lot of strange things here." Hey, with such a big needle, how can you sew clothes? ”

Li Zhongxian took a closer look and found that the big needle Li Hu said turned out to be a lot of foreign iron nails of different sizes, which he had seen in the city, and heard that it was something from the West, which was used to build a house, fix wood, and nail furniture, which was very good.

However, there is a small box next to it, but I don't know what it is.

At this time, the shopkeeper came over again and said, "The guest officer is interested in this match?" This is very cheap, only 10 wen a box. In one box, there are 90 to 100 matches, which can be used for a long time, and it is very convenient to light a fire for cooking! ”

After speaking, Xiao Er took the box of matches, took out a thin wooden stick, and quickly swiped it on the shelf, only to see a snort, and the thin wooden stick in his hand caught fire.

Li Hu stared at the matches in the little second-hand in amazement, and shouted: "Dad, this match is really useful, so buy a box." Take it back to make a fire for your mother to cook! ”

Li Zhongxian remembered that Li Liu's every time he lit a scythe early in the morning and didn't hit it for a long time, he was also quite distressed in his heart, and then thought that this box of matches was only 10 yuan, so he nodded and took out ten copper coins.

Li Hu cheered happily and rushed forward to take a box of matches from the shopkeeper.

Li Zhongxian and Li Long looked at it, and they were also happy.

After buying matches, Li Zhongxian decided not to look at other things, so as not to arouse the thoughts that he and his two sons wanted to buy, and went directly to buy iron hoes.

The agricultural tools area is at the end, and there are already many people around, and the three juniors are explaining, and they are still a little busy.

However, fortunately, all the prices are posted next to the goods, so you can see them yourself.

Li Zhongxian walked into the shelves where the iron hoes were placed, and there were all kinds of long, short, wide, and narrow, which made Li Zhongxian dazzled. He has been doing farm work for more than 20 years, but he doesn't know how to choose a hoe!

Let Li Long look at the price again, it is true, the longest and widest iron hoe is only 400 Wen, and the cheap one is only 250 Wen, but that one is a little narrow.

Just as Li Zhongxian was thinking about the copper coins on his body and which two iron hoes to choose, a shopkeeper who was busy with a few customers came over.

"Guest officer, buying a hoe depends on what you are used for? Is it mainly used for hoeing, ploughing, or is it mainly used for weeding? Depending on these, the choice of hoe is also different! The guest officer can talk about the purpose, and the small one can give some suggestions. The shopkeeper was very polite and talked directly.

"I buy an iron hoe mainly for loosening the soil and hoeing grass, my few acres of dry land soil, easy to compact, often need to loosen the soil, so to buy 2 hoes, must be strong and durable." Seeing Xiao Er asking himself enthusiastically, Li Zhongxian was embarrassed not to speak, so he directly explained his intentions.

"Guest officer, that little one recommends that you buy a new variety of hoe over there, it's our holy ...... No, the newly developed hoe specialized in loosening soil. The shopkeeper seemed to have said that he had leaked his mouth, and immediately changed his mouth, his face changed, and seeing that Li Zhongxian, Li Long and others did not notice, he gave a sigh of relief, and hurriedly led everyone to a shelf on the side.

I saw that there were a few iron tools shaped like hoes on the shelves, but the ones with a square gap in the middle were also one size smaller in size.

Seeing that Li Zhongxian looked a little frowned, the shopkeeper hurriedly picked up a strange hoe and explained: "This is an iron hoe specially made for loosening soil and weeding. Guest officer, you see, this leaky hoe blade is more than three inches wide, the edge of the blade to the hollow about an inch, light and labor-saving when used, both can loosen the soil and hoe the grass and will not turn over the clods, after hoeing the land is leveled, can play a role in protecting the fertility and moisture in the soil. For our Central Plains region, which is neither south nor north, especially the dry land where wheat is grown, loosening soil is the most suitable! ”

Li Zhongxian has been planting crops for many years, and as soon as Xiao Eryi said it, he suddenly realized: It's true! With that vacant leak, hoe down, pull again, and the soil naturally leaks through the leak, so that you don't have to turn up the soil, and the soil is loosened with great effort.

This hoe is indeed a good hoe, and it suits your requirements very well. However, Li Zhongxian suppressed his eagerness, because he thought of a little and asked, "Then can you hoe grass with this hoe?" "Croppers are naturally concerned about the harvest, and in addition to loosening the soil, the weeds in the field often have to be hoeed so as not to compete with the crops for fertilizer.

Xiao Er smiled: "Good question! You look at the leaky hoe, the hoe surface is not wide, and there are corners on both sides of the hoe, which is very convenient for loosening the soil and weeding between the seedlings. Don't believe you can look sharp? ”

Li Zhongxian took the leaky hoe and looked at it, it was heavy, although there was a hole in the middle, the iron skeleton was very thick, and it was very durable at a glance. Then touch the hoe corner, it is indeed very sharp, not only can cut grass, but also hoe roots, it is a good hoe!

It's just that such a good hoe, Xiao Er said that it was a new product, and I am afraid it is very expensive. Li Zhongxian has some gains and losses.

"Guest, do you want it? As long as 300 Wen, buy two, each cheaper 10 Wen, which adds up to 580 Wen. ”

When Li Zhongxian heard this, he happened to be less than 30 wen. However, this price is fair, but it really can't be done, so I can only go home first and make up 30 Wen.

Seeing that Li Zhongxian obviously liked the goods, he was silent after listening to the price, so he continued: "Guest officer, we still have an activity in our shop, as long as we register the detailed origin, name, address and family information on our Nanji hardware store, you can become a member of our Nanji hardware store, you can enjoy a 9% discount on the basis of the original price, and if the money is not enough, half of the payment can also be paid in installments, and the customer will take the goods first." ”

"Is there such a good thing? Can it really be cheap? Da Long, you can write, follow Xiao Er to register one. Li Zhongxian hurriedly called his son.
