Chapter 79: The Ancestral Needle
For Huang Zheng, who is poor in cloth clothes, the female shopkeeper rarely shows no performance and disdain, which is commendable in the dynasty of respecting Luo Yi first and then respecting people.
Huang Zheng smiled and said: "Sister shopkeeper, to put it mildly, my sister is not here to buy fabrics." ”
Huang Zheng looked at the female shopkeeper with a smile on his face, and his smile made people feel like a spring breeze, so that the female shopkeeper sighed in her heart, the girl in front of her was obviously a bronze complexion that was darker than that of ordinary women, and her smile was like a spring flower, sprinkling the sunshine in a room.
This kind of bearing, this kind of affinity, is not something that ordinary peasant girls can have.
If the previous female shopkeeper was just a businessman's pretense to welcome her, now she smiled sincerely and said: "It's okay, buying and selling is not a human affair, and one day the family will use a needle and thread or something." Besides, you didn't come for nothing today, didn't you bring a patron to your sister? ”
Following the sight of the female shopkeeper, Huang Zheng glanced at the osmanthus that was more careful than the gold, and couldn't help but caress his forehead.
The female shopkeeper is a transparent person who can do business, Huang Zheng has a little more affection for her, took out the Huang family needle in his hand, handed it to the female shopkeeper and said: "Sister, this is my family's ancestral stainless needle, and I have never been willing to use it." Now that the family situation is getting worse, even eating has become a problem, so I have to take it out and sell it. ”
The female shopkeeper took out the needles inside, put them in the palm of her hand one by one and looked at them carefully, and said with a suspicious face: "This needle is handed down by the ancestors, and naturally it has its advantages, but I looked at it, except for the strangeness and polishing of the shiny, I didn't see its preciousness." ”
Huang Zheng patiently explained: "Sister, Ming people don't say dark words, this needle is shiny, but it is not polished light, this material, even if you soak it in water for a hundred years, it will not rot and rust, my ancestors called it a stainless needle, which is rust-resistant than iron needles, stronger than bone needles, and a good thing." ”
Seeing that the female shopkeeper was still hesitating, Huang Zheng took out a needle from the syringe, pushed it in front of the female shopkeeper, and said confidently: "If my sister doesn't believe it, from now on, I will put a bone needle, an iron needle and a stainless needle together in the water, and I will come back to pick it up in a week, and now I will study the matter of selling needles." ”
The female shopkeeper didn't expect that Huang Zheng, a small peasant girl, was not as eyelid as osmanthus buying embroidery thread.
Although it was a small needle, it also reflected a kind of trust, so he nodded and said: "Even if my sister can trust me, I will give it a try, let's talk first, if it rusts or melts away, and something goes wrong, I will not compensate you." ”
Huang Zheng nodded solemnly and said, "Sister, I still have some confidence, just take a look!" If this needle is really as good as my sister said, my sister will have to reward some money, but my family is waiting for the rice to go to the pot. ”
The female shopkeeper blinked her eyes slyly and smiled: "This needle is my sister's 'ancestral', if it is really as my sister said, it will not rot for a hundred years, my sister will naturally leave the whole set as a treasure of the town shop, and give a pleasant price." ”
The female shopkeeper's teasing appearance, she doesn't need to guess to know that she has seen through her "ancestor" panic, but she didn't expose it for the sake of face, so she just reminded Huang Zheng to give way to the price when the time comes, and stop playing the "ancestor" signboard.
Huang Zheng's cheeks were red, and he muttered, "Sister, look at it." ”
