"Folks, please get up quickly." Qi Luo smiled and got up to take Xiao Tong's hand.

"What are you selling?" Qi Luo looked at the small wooden boxes on the stall of the little boy's house.

"Beautiful young lady, my family sells boxes that can sing songs." The little boy said in a milky voice.

"Oh!" Qi Luo curiously opened one of the boxes.

It's going to be a music box!

A pleasant sound suddenly came out of the well-wound box.

"Sister, you actually know how to use it? You're amazing. The boy's round eyes widened, and his mouth opened slightly.

"Sister, this is my dad's own singing box, it's good." The boy patted his chest proudly.

The woman on the side, seeing that the county lord was so amiable, was not so afraid, and leaned over and said carefully, "County lord, when I was sailing, I occasionally saw a box that could sing songs sold in Fanbang Exotics, and I figured it out myself when I came back. ”

"It's interesting!" Qi Luo picked up the music box and looked at it carefully.

The shape of the box is just an ordinary wooden box, the style is very simple, when the music plays, the rotating part of the box is only inlaid with a very simple round wooden ball, as a decoration.

At this time, if you want to listen to music, you can only listen to people sing and sing small songs.

This music box can undoubtedly enrich the furnishings at home.

The more Qi Luo looked at it, the brighter his eyes became.

Although the style of this music box is simple, she is the best at the design of the appearance.

She can make them into a variety of styles so that they can suit different people.

The girl's eyebrows and eyes are crooked.

Seeing that the girl was happy, Sang Yang also reached out and fiddled with the music box.

Another novelty!

I think there will be a lot of novelties in their house in the future.

The boy thought about the strangely shaped seats, the dusty hammocks, and the beautiful copper boxes for making fragrant barbecue, and grinned when he thought about it.

"Sister-in-law, would you like to help me make this box? I want a different style," the sudden question pulled Sang Yang back from the fugue.

Qi Luo raised the music box in Yang's hand.

The woman listened to Qi Luo's words, and her eyes burst into light.

She's been making these boxes for a few months, and she hasn't sold a few yet.

Why do poor families need such a pastime?

"Yes! What kind of style does the county lord want? You can tell the little woman. Mrs. greeted her husband with a smile, "Husband, come out quickly!" ”

Listening to the woman's greeting, a black-faced man of about twenty years old walked out of the door.

The black-faced man is not as outgoing as a woman, and he looks a little shy.

"Xianggong, come and see the county lord." The black-faced man was stunned, and his lips squirmed.

Before he could say anything, he knelt down with a plop and kowtowed.

"Grass People...... Lu Er, I've seen the county lord! ”

This is also too sincere, and the sound of grabbing the ground with his head hurts to hear.

But before Qi Luo could open his mouth, the black-faced man stood up by himself in a daze.

The girl snorted and laughed.

The black-faced man's face turned red all of a sudden.

"Lu Er, how many boxes do you have? Maybe they can be changed at my request? Qi Luo smiled and asked.

"County Lord, there is still a ...... in this box of grass people. Eight. Lu Er scratched his head and stammered in reply.

The woman was a discerning woman, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "If the county lord does not dislike it, please rest in the inner room." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Qi Luo entered the house generously.

The front hall in the house is open to do business.

There are some groceries in the store, and there are not many varieties of each, and it seems that business is normal.

There are many varieties of miscellaneous goods, and there are some of them. There are women's hand-embroidered purses and soles of shoes; There are also carved wooden pipes and wooden sailboat ornaments...............

These wood products are also foreign things that Lu Er came back from studying at sea.

It can be seen that this Lu Er is very good at carpentry, and the pipes and sailboats are very exquisite.

The woman led the person into the house, hurried to the teahouse next door, returned with two cups of tea, and carefully handed them over.

The teahouse next door is not a tea stall for ordinary people to quench their thirst, and a cup of tea costs at least a dozen yuan.

This woman is really good at business, and she is not bad at all.

Xiao Tong was on the side, talking a little bit, introducing Qi Luo and Sang Yang to all kinds of his favorite gadgets in the shop one by one.

The child looks no more than four years old, and this cheerful personality must have followed his mother.

And Lu Er was full of seriousness at this time, his hands were nervously stirred together, and he stood aside in a daze.

"Lu Er, your box that can sing songs, can you still carve and inlay it?" Qi Luo thought for a while and asked.

When asked about the craftsmanship he was good at, Lu Er, who was originally extremely nervous, got a lot better, "County Lord, it's okay, I don't know what style of pattern you want to carve?" The box is not big, and if the pattern is too complicated, it will take a long time, and the salary will be much more expensive. ”

"Ziyu, if you use it, what style do you like?" The girl asked, tilting her head.

The young man thought for a moment, "It's probably even a cloud pattern or a kui pattern." ”

"Then you will engrave two moire patterns and two crests, and inlay them with some jade beads; engraved with two clusters of patterns and inlaid with some pearls; Engraved with two longevity patterns and inlaid with some gold beads. And the decorative beads inside are also made of openwork, which is the same as the pattern of the outer box. ”

Qi Luo took out a small handful, and put the jade beads, pearls, and gold beans that Sanyu had left for her for rewarding in her pocket and put them on the disk on the table where the copper plate was placed.

The woman neatly stepped forward and counted the points, "I received 10 jade beads, 15 gold beads, and 8 pearls from the county lord, and I will give you a note." ”

After speaking, he took a pen and paper and typed an IOU, and the writing in small block letters was also decent.

"Sister-in-law also went to the school to read?" Qi Luo sighed.

At this time, very few ordinary people, especially women, could read.

The woman smiled and replied, "How can I have that money in my house to make me literate, because of business, the villagers always have to order some soles and uppers, and it is always inconvenient to remember them if they are illiterate."

I gave the teacher at the intersection of Mengxue School, often sent my own soles, the teacher allowed me, often go to the door to listen to lectures, and I just learned some commonly used words. ”

This husband and wife can also be regarded as husband and wife, and they have their own strengths!

If it weren't for this clever daughter-in-law, if she wanted to come to Lu Er, who had a stuffy temperament, she would definitely have a hard time doing business!

"County Lord, I need two days for these eight boxes, and I will send them to you at this time the day after tomorrow." Lu Er thought about it for a while before he said sullenly.

Then let's play in Fucheng for a few more days!

The arrangements in the capital have been in place, and it doesn't matter if she doesn't want to go back to the capital!
