Chapter 67 On the Cloth
The calf pointed to a roll, and there was only a small amount of beautiful red cloth left, and said to the shopkeeper of the cloth shop, "How much does this cloth cost?" ”
The shopkeeper looked at the calf and the red cloth on his finger, and said with a smile: "It costs fifty dollars to make a cloth with flowers." ”
The calf frowned a little when he heard this, he had so much money on him? He didn't have more than 20 big money on him, and it was all the money he had saved up over the years. But I didn't want to be myself, as soon as I entered the cloth shop, I picked an expensive one.
After Niu Lizi, Xin Sange, and Xiaohuzi entered the cattle market, they came to this shop to buy cloth. And this shop is also the largest place to buy cloth in the entire cattle market. As soon as I entered the door of this shop, I saw several red cloths placed on the wooden boards in the shop. Although the shop is very spacious, there are not many people in it who come to see the cloth.
The owner of the shop in front of him was a man in his forties, but he was also wearing a suit made of good cloth. As soon as you look at it, you will know that it is the owner of the goods. But no, if you can open such a large cloth shop, people who don't have money can't afford it. The shopkeeper looked kind, but he didn't want to make it difficult for the calf to open his mouth like this.
As soon as he entered the cloth shop, he fell in love with the roll of red cloth on his fingers. But it is a roll of good-looking and tight, and even the women in this episode are not often found in good cloth. After the matter was over, the calf thought, if I could cut such a good piece of red cloth for my eldest girl, and make it a flower dress when I got married. On the day the eldest girl got married, she was finally dressed in red.
But when the calf listened to the price of the shopkeeper's mouth, his heart was a "groan". To make a flower dress out of this roll of cloth, it costs fifty dollars? Not to mention anything else, the price of these fifty coins alone made the calves a little incredulous, and their ears were rooted.
In the past, I used to make some flower clothes for my daughter, but I only used seven or eight big money, and after adding some good hunted skins, I could change them from the set and make two red cloths of flower clothes. But I don't want this beautiful red cloth to cost fifty dollars to make one?
The calf who was thinking in his heart was looking at the cloth shop owner who was facing him with a kind smile. But how do you look, how do you think that the owner of this cloth shop looks like an old prince in human skin. Isn't this the skin of a man, the mouth of a tiger? A dozen upper and lower teeth is a sky-high price.
Xin Laosan, who was standing next to the calf, was speechless when he saw that the calf was speechless after listening to the price of the cloth shop owner. I knew that the calf was in trouble, but I also felt that the main price of this cloth shop was too high. He is also a person who has seen the big set, and he also knows the price of some of this red cloth. But it can also be seen that the roll of red cloth chosen by the calf is really good. If it is given to the eldest girl, it will be a flower dress to wear when she gets married, and the eldest girl will not marry in vain.
"Can you ask for less?" Seeing that the calf didn't speak, Xin Laosan opened his mouth and asked the owner of the cloth shop.
The owner of the cloth shop, who was still smiling, shook his head and said, "This red cloth is such a price, and this price is not given by me." Don't hide it from the two of you, I got this red cloth from the township, and it took a lot of money to get it. I heard that even the women and girls in the township are dressed in flowers made of this red cloth. ”
As he spoke, the owner of the cloth shop lifted the corner of the red cloth with his hand, touched the color on it and smiled: "This red cloth alone can top up half of the wealth in this shop." If the two of you had come later, the red cloth would have been almost finished. ”
The calf still did not speak, but still looked at the owner of the quilt shop, and lifted a corner of the red cloth. While looking at the red cloth, the hands below kept touching the twenty or so big coins wrapped in the sackcloth. Because I entered the set, I went directly to this one, the largest cloth shop in the market. As a result, the big antlers and some of the skins brought by the way were still in time to exchange for some goods.
But the calf also listened to the price of fifty big dollars from the owner of the cloth shop. silently calculated in his heart how much money he could exchange for these objects he carried. Although this huge deer antler is also a good object. But the calf knows that even if it is a good object, it is impossible to exchange it for dozens of big dollars, and at most it can be exchanged for a dozen or so big money. Not to mention the skins he carries by the way, they can only be exchanged for a few big bucks.
After such a calculation, it is only about 30 big bucks, which is still less than half the number. Even if the skin that Third Brother Xin was carrying was exchanged for a lot of money, it would not be enough. And the third brother also has to use the skin to go to the salt house to exchange some salt.
But just let go of the red cloth in the photo, and didn't make good flower clothes for the big girl, and the calf's heart couldn't stop swaying. After all, the eldest girl has never had anything to do with him as a father over the years. has always helped the mother-in-law at the head of the family and is busy with this family. Can't you even get your daughter married and make a good cloth of flowers?
The calf thought about it and tightened it, and the piece of linen wrapped in his hand was about twenty dollars. Even if you can negotiate a price, you can only ask for a few big bucks. Could it be that you can let people buy you for dozens of dollars? But I didn't buy it because I fell in love with it, and I was the father
The owner of the cloth shop looked at the swaying appearance of the calf, and he had a total in his heart. He is also a person with eyesight, beating these two men and that, he kept looking east and west in the shop, and the boy entered his shop. He could see that these two men did not have much wealth on them.
Although he is also from Tun, he is also the identity of a leather household registration. But the tunzi where he is located is the closest old Lin Tunzi to the township that manages this forest. Therefore, he is also a person with some knowledge, and he is also a person who can get good cloth from the township. Relying on his own ability, he can be regarded as a big family. Even if it is in the tunzi at the head of his own house, he is also in the tunzi, and everyone shouts old money.
Over the years, there has been such a bull market in this old forest. So he made a living selling cloth here. The big and small tunzi within dozens of miles, but all the women and babies of the rich and old rich families make flower clothes. They all came to this bull market and ran for the cloth in his house. Although there are a lot of cheap cloths, most of them are from the family, and some wealthy people come to buy cloth in the shop.
But he is also a person who can do things, even if it is like the one in front of him, these two Tunren men who know that they have no wealth at a glance. He will also greet him with a smile. Although I also asked for a lot of money for this cloth, after all, I still have to transport the cloth from the old township to the old forest.
"Hey, hey! The two of you can take a look at the cloth over here. These cloths are also very good in this episode! Many of the women and girls in the collection like this cloth. ”
As he spoke, the owner of the cloth shop put down the horse in his hand, leaving not much red cloth. He walked towards the other side of the shop, some red cloth on the wooden board.
Niu Niu Zi and Xin Laosan also followed what the cloth shop owner said and looked at the red cloth over there. Although it is not like this, it is good to ask for fifty dollars of red cloth. But it also has a good-looking color, and it is really suitable for women to make flower clothes. When they entered the cloth shop just now, there happened to be a few women, who were there, looking at the red cloths.
"Also, still no, it's not as good as this cloth."
Just as Niu Niu Zi and Xin Laosan were following the cloth shop owner, looking at the red cloth over there. But he was looking east and west in the shop, and Xin Huzi spoke. Xin Huzi followed Daddy and Uncle Calf into this cloth shop, and he has been spacious, swaying back and forth in the shop. Looking at this room full of cloth, I was really a little dazzled.
Especially from this shop, he also saw some cloth that looked like Sister Que'er's body. But what made him look good the most was that as soon as Uncle Calf entered this cloth shop, the roll in the photo cost fifty dollars to make a red cloth with flowers.
When the owner of the cloth shop turned the eyes of the calf and Xin Lao to the cheap cloth over there, the six-year-old Xin Huzi spoke. As far as he was concerned, he had also gone over to take a look at the flower cloth over there just now. Although it is also very good-looking, it is still the cloth in Uncle Calf's photo.
And when Xin Huzi first entered this cloth shop and saw the owner of this cloth shop, he vaguely felt that the owner of this cloth shop seemed to have seen something there and himself just now, when he looked east and west, he didn't miss a few glances at the owner of this cloth shop.
Xin Laosan listened to Xiaohuzi's words, but he laughed, and said to the owner of the cloth shop: "I said the shop owner, you want fifty dollars of red cloth, can you give my brother a cheaper?" Although I also know that you are far away, it is not easy to pull this cloth into this episode. But my brother is also in love, this roll of red cloth in your shop. I really want to buy this red cloth! ”
After listening to Xin Laosan's words, the owner of the cloth shop hesitated a little and looked at his red cloth again. After thinking about it in his heart, he smiled and said, "Hey! Two, if this red cloth is cheap, it can only be cheaper by three coins at most. If it's cheap, I won't be able to make a lot of money. This brother also said, I also pulled this cloth to this market to buy it, didn't I? And there is only so much left of this red cloth, at most it can only be used to make materials for two sets of flowers. Hey! The two of us can only be so cheap, don't be surprised. ”
Xin Laosan frowned a little. Although the owner of this cloth shop is polite, it is also darker. No matter how expensive this red cloth is, it is impossible to make it so expensive to make a flower dress! In his opinion, this red cloth is at most, and it is worth about thirty dollars, which is already okay. But I don't want this shop owner, so I still bite the big money, and it's only three big bucks cheaper at most.
