Chapter 73: A Loser
"Ten taels!" Qiao Xiaoru opened her eyes wide and gasped, it was useless for the foolish husband to sell cute!
The old blacksmith ordered his sturdy apprentice to take off the iron bow, and the apprentice was a sturdy young man in his early twenties, but he finally took the bow off with great difficulty, and carried it with great difficulty, which showed that it was full of weight.
"Little sister-in-law, don't hide it, this iron bow was customized by an old man in the dart game four years ago, and then he had an accident and moved his family away, so this iron bow is naturally gone! This bow was built by the old man with real effort, and he was reluctant to destroy it, so he had to keep it like this! This little brother took a fancy to it at a glance, and it can be seen that he has a fate with this bow, and it is really not a loss to buy it for ten taels of silver! ”
The foolish man couldn't wait to take the iron bow, skillfully fiddling with it in his hand, his eyes lit up with excitement, and he smiled. The weighty iron bow was like a plaything in his hand.
The old blacksmith apprentice exclaimed in shock with wide eyes.
"Look, sister-in-law, the old man didn't lie! This little brother is very worthy of this bow! The old blacksmith lobbied again, and his heart was really speechless, you must know that this iron bow weighs thirty pounds, and ordinary men can afford it, but it must not be as easy as the foolish man.
Qiao Xiaoru saw that the foolish husband obviously looked like he had already regarded this iron bow as his own, and sighed in his heart, I am afraid that this bow will have to be bought if I don't buy it.
However, she didn't show it on her face, only said: "It's cheaper, ten taels is too expensive, I can't afford it even if I want to!" ”
As soon as the old blacksmith heard this, the light in his eyes flashed, his face hesitated and struggled, and he smiled bitterly: "That's it!" The old man let one or two, nine taels, no less! No matter how little it is, it's not a question of making money or not, the old man has to post it upside down! ”
"Six taels!" Qiao Xiaoru said.
"What! That's not going to work! Absolutely not! The old blacksmith waved his hand without thinking.
Qiao Xiaoru said with a smile: "Since this iron bow was customized by someone else, it must have been a deposit, right?" Sell it to me for six taels of silver, master, you won't lose! ”
Since the dart master breached the contract and did not come to pick up the things, of course it is impossible to get the deposit back. Qiao Xiaoru didn't believe that the old blacksmith was so stupid, he didn't take a deposit and made things for people!
To tell the truth, even a layman can see that this bow is indeed made of real materials. Don't take a deposit to make things with good materials, stupid?
This fool is going to pick things! A loser!
The old blacksmith didn't expect Qiao Xiaoru to say this, but he was stunned, and smiled helplessly: "Your little sister-in-law has a heart!" The deposit is down, but it's not much, they are all old acquaintances, after all, who would have thought that such a thing would happen! You see you add a little more, seven taels, take the things away! ”
At that time, the dart head gave a deposit of five taels of silver, and it was indeed an acquaintance, and the old blacksmith was willing to bother to do it, otherwise generally speaking, he would never do it if he made this kind of thing that ordinary people could not use, and he would never do it with a deposit of no less than eighty percent.
Whether it was six taels or seven taels of silver sold to Qiao Xiaoru, he was at a loss, but he wanted to work hard to reduce his losses, so he bargained more. But if you don't sell it, you will only lose more! Because this bow is too heavy, ordinary people won't buy it, and ordinary hunters won't buy it!
If it weren't for the melting of this bow, it would have been more depleted, and the old blacksmith would have melted the bow a long time ago, so why would he wait until now?
Qiao Xiaoru thought for a while and said with a smile: "Is there a bow in the light?" There should still be arrows! ”
"That's right," the old blacksmith sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Little sister-in-law, you are really too shrewd, hey, that's it, the old man is determined to suffer today's loss, don't forget to take care of my business more in the future!" Seven taels of silver, you can take those three iron arrows with you! It couldn't be less than that! ”
As he spoke, the old blacksmith had already asked his apprentice to take the matching iron arrows out of the back storeroom.
The foolish man's eyes lit up when he saw it, and he unceremoniously snatched it in his hand to play, took the arrow and pulled the bow, full of posture, and became more and more reluctant to let go, and smiled at Qiao Xiaoruhan: "Daughter-in-law, I like this!" ”
A dragger!
Qiao Xiaoru glanced at the stupid husband and said with a smile: "Come on, then seven taels!" In the future, we will come to your shop again to buy things, and the master will give us a cheaper! ”
"Definitely, definitely!" Seeing that he was about to get rid of the hot potato, the old blacksmith said that it was good to say anything. Although it is still a loss, but the loss is less, isn't it?
Qiao Xiaoru smiled, paid the money and left with the foolish husband.
The foolish husband didn't realize that he had caused his daughter-in-law to bleed hemorrhage, and he was still happily fiddling with the bow and arrow in his hand, and he had to pull his daughter-in-law to watch together.
The corners of Qiao Xiaoru's mouth twitched, she really didn't want to see this loser! Blue skinny, shiitake mushrooms!
It's easy to get him to put things at the bottom of the cart and let him go home and see it again.
After leaving the blacksmith shop, the two drove the ox cart to the bazaar, and stopped by the grain store that sold grain.
As the saying goes, if you have food in your hand, you don't panic, and you still have three taels of silver left in your hand, so you have to buy more food to say anything.
I bought 200 catties of rice and 50 catties of flour for two taels of silver, which is enough to eat for two months.
In the end, I still had a balance of more than one or two silver in my hand, bought two large bags of cabbage seeds and white radish seeds, and bought a hen of more than one catty, and estimated that I could lay eggs for two months, and bought a few meat buns, and hesitated for a while and cut half a catty of pork and a big bone.
Count, ahem, there are less than six coins of silver left! And that's all there is to it.
The idea of buying red dates, wolfberries, lotus seeds, lilies and other stewed soups for Tian to regulate his body can only be suppressed for the time being, and the school road of small bean sprouts can not be mentioned for the time being.
Glancing at the pit father's bow and arrow, Qiao Xiaoru only thought in her heart......
She felt the urge to go back to the blacksmith and return it!
Of course, it was impossible to return the goods, and Qiao Xiaoru could only strengthen her determination to go to Funiu Mountain. Aunt Six dares to go to a woman's house, she goes with a fool, be careful only on the periphery, it should be fine!
took something from Buzhuang, and on the way home, Qiao Xiaoru was thinking about this problem all the way.
Along the way, Qiao Xiaoru deliberately controlled the speed of the rush, and only returned home at about three o'clock in the afternoon.
This is the quietest time in the village, either going out to work, or gossiping or playing cards at home, and there are hardly any people outside.
In order to avoid the eyes and ears of the two best aunts, Qiao Xiaoru also fought hard!
The things were quickly moved to the house, the rice and noodles went into the small storeroom, the food was put in the kitchen, the quilts and everything were put in their respective rooms, and the two chickens were also locked in the chicken coop.
Seeing that so many things had been added to the family at once, Tian and Xiao Bean Sprouts were also very happy.
Thank you for the reward from Yishang aiq Li Yingqin~~Momoda~
