"I don't have a hundred taels of this box that I won't sell." The fat shopkeeper blinked slyly.

"The shopkeeper doesn't want to be fooled, so big will it be sold for a hundred taels? If it was really a good thing, it had already been bought, so much dust could still be left behind? Liu Lu said disdainfully.

"Poof, just wipe the ashes." When the fat shopkeeper heard her say this, he immediately pursed his lips and blew heavily on the wooden box, and the fine dust suddenly flew up.

"Ahem, shopkeeper, do you know how to do business!" Pink choked and waved her hands to drive away the dust.

"Shopkeeper, you should continue to leave this box in dust. Let's go, let's go to another house. Du Mei glanced at the peach and willow green, and pretended to leave.

"Don't mind, you have to bargain for a deal, don't you?" When the fat shopkeeper heard this, he was anxious and hurriedly stopped Du Mei. Although this box is made of good materials, this single piece is not matched and cannot be matched, and only in the year of the monkey can I meet such a buyer.

"I sincerely want to buy it, you can give a solid price." Du Mei said with a smile.

"Ninety-five taels! I'll let another five taels. The fat shopkeeper stretched out five short, thick fingers and gestured in front of Du Mei.

"You are such a small box, I see fifty taels of heaven." Liu Lu said disdainfully.

"Girl, do you know that red sandalwood has always been ten sandalwood and nine empty, and the material was originally calculated to be able to make a pair of boxes, but I didn't expect the wood to be empty in the middle, so I only got this one unique piece." The fat shopkeeper said with a gloomy expression.

"In this way, eighty taels, if the shopkeeper can sell it, we will take it away. If not, you can only wait for the next destined person. Du Mei really liked this box, she quietly looked at it, this box was deeper, and it could put down the seven fire civets that were standing. Originally, the box at the fairtrade had been custom-made a long time ago, and it could only fit six.

"This ......" The fat shopkeeper was so entangled that his eyebrows were so wrinkled that he could trap flies.

Du Mei didn't rush him, and glanced to the side to look at the other furniture.

"Okay, deal!" The fat shopkeeper seemed to have made a lot of determination, and said through gritting his back molars.

"Please please take the trouble to clean it up, I can take it with me." Du Mei took out a silver ticket of one hundred taels from his purse.

"Alright, alright." The fat shopkeeper accepted the silver ticket with a smile and found Du Mei 20 taels of silver.

He took out a small bristle brush, gently swept the dust off the box, and then wiped it with a piece of muslin dipped in a little castor oil. After a while, the small box that had just been dusty glowed with its original brilliance, the red wood was covered with cow hair Venus, and the lid was hollowed out and carved with rich peonies.

After cleaning up, the fat shopkeeper took a tabloid from the cabinet, wrapped the box, and put it in the stone bag.

didn't go far, there was a cloth village on the street, Du Mei finally entered the capital, thinking about bringing gifts to everyone, Zhong Yu was too good to him, she hadn't thanked him properly, it was better to make clothes for him.

Du Mei is spinning around on the blue and green smoke, and the peach blossoms and willow green are good at girls' things, but in picking men's clothes, they have completely lost their standards. The stone is like a mute, and if you look at the color on his body except black, you can see that he doesn't understand it either.

Seeing that they wandered for a while, but they didn't pick it, the middle-aged shopkeeper put down the account book and came over to serve with a smile on his face.

"This girl is picking up fabrics for the elders of the family?" To be a shopkeeper, you must not only have the ability to see and listen to all directions, but also have the ability to observe words and colors.

"That's right. The shopkeeper, you might as well introduce it to me. Du Mei touched a piece of material

Son, it's cold and cold, this is really an imperial city, and the countryside has never seen this.

"These are silk, satin, jade, silk." The middle-aged shopkeeper said, pointing to the bundle of fabrics.

"If you want to be cool, it is naturally silk, if you want to be crisp, you still choose plain satin and jade silk, Luo silk is the cheapest, but it is too soft." When the middle-aged shopkeeper talked about fabrics, he seemed to open the conversation box and introduced them one by one.

"Let's pick a plain satin." Du Mei thought that Zhong Yu often had to go to the patient's home for medical treatment, and it was always bad to have wrinkled clothes.

"The girl has good eyesight, the plain satin is tightly woven, and the embroidery is ......" The shopkeeper suddenly stopped talking and stared at Du Mei's clothes.

"What's wrong?" Du Mei looked at her in a daze when she saw the shopkeeper, and she subconsciously looked down at herself.

"Where did you buy your clothes?" The shopkeeper realized that he was rude, and hurriedly bowed his head and saluted.

"My mother made it." Du Mei unconsciously raised the corners of his mouth.

"Girl, may I take the liberty of having a discussion with you? Will you give me the pattern on your garment? The shopkeeper made another move.

"This is just an ordinary pattern, any embroidery girl will do it." Du Mei said suspiciously.

"No, it's different. I can change the fabric you like! The shopkeeper said eagerly.

"If you don't give a reason, I really can't give it to you." Du Mei frowned.

"Your moire is very unique, and there are not many people who can embroider this kind now." The shopkeeper had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Our big girls and little daughters-in-law in the countryside will do it." Du Mei couldn't help but laugh when he heard him say this. Her mother has taught many people with her, and this pattern is really not uncommon around Dujiagou.

"Really?" The shopkeeper wiped his eyes, he had been doing this for most of his life, and it was impossible to look away.

"I'll draw it for you." Du Mei clicked three times and twice, and drew the pattern on the paper without paying attention.

After listening to the shopkeeper's suggestion, Du Mei bought a plain satin that had rained over the sky, and the shopkeeper thanked her for the trick and only charged half the price. Du Mei bought some fine silk threads and plain silk handkerchiefs in his shop, and spent a total of more than five taels of silver.

Du Mei four people went out, there happened to be a family next to it that sells rouge gouache, Du Mei wants to buy some good hand oil, the family builds a house, the mother and sisters inevitably deal with mud and bricks every day, although it is summer now, but also to maintain it early, otherwise in the autumn, the weather is dry, and the hands are easy to open.

They wandered around the shop for a long time, and the price was frighteningly high, in Sheshan Town, a hala oil was only a penny, and a small porcelain bottle of hand grease here cost a tael of silver.

"Meizi, let's take you to other places to buy, the things are the same, but the price is half cheaper than here." Seeing that there was no one next to Taohua, Peach Blossom whispered in Du Mei's ear.

"yes, okay." Du Mei nodded.

The four of them left the store, and the peach and willow green took Du Mei through the streets and alleys, and gradually the high-rise houses disappeared, and the low and dilapidated houses appeared more and more in front of them.

"Here, this is it, we often come." Pink led the way into a low storefront.

"Oh, the two girls are here, what do you want today?" There is a female shopkeeper in this shop, with eyebrows and lips, and a white face and a thin waist. She obviously knew Peach, Willow Green, and when she saw them, she greeted them warmly.

"My girl wants to buy some hand polish, you can quickly take it out and show her." Liu Lu said as he leaned on the counter.

"Okay. Hold on. The female shopkeeper shook the willow waist and went into the back room.

Du Mei looked around and saw that they were all girls

There are not only rouge gouaches, but also fans and silk handkerchiefs. There are also some delicate gadgets.

"I'm just like the ones I buy on the street." The female shopkeeper came out with a black lacquer plate, and there were four or five different hand fats in it.

"Can I try it?" Du Mei looked at it.

"Yes, who told you to bring it from them, just try it." The female shopkeeper stretched out her fingers coated with bright red cardamom and waved them lazily.

Peach and willow green helped Du Mei try it, and sure enough, Bihara oil was refreshing, and when you rubbed it on your hands, it was easy to get into the skin, and there was no greasy feeling.

"Okay, I'm boiling it with East China Sea pearls and mackerel oil." The shopkeeper fiddles with her nails.

"I buy more, can it be cheaper?" Du Mei chose two, one for autumn and one for winter.

"For a bottle of silver on the street, I will sell them at half price, and if you buy ten bottles, I will give you two more bottles." The female shopkeeper said boldly.

"Okay." Du Mei nodded.

Du Mei paid five taels of silver and bought some delicate things in her shop, such as nine rings made of white iron and Kong Ming locks made of wood. The bags of stones were full, and the cloth was still in his hands.

Returning with a full load, tired of walking halfway, the four of them each drank a bowl in the herbal tea shop, the herbal tea here has the taste of mugwort leaves, I think it is because of the addition of dried mugwort leaves.

On the way, he met the candy seller, and Du Mei bought it with them, and the stone was a little older, and he was a shy man, so he said that he would not eat anything, but only gave peach and willow green.

Thinking that Ye Dan and the guards don't eat snacks, Du Mei won't buy it if he thinks about it. When she saw the halva, she weighed some more and went back to taste it for Mrs. Xia and Aunt Shi.

The four of them walked around for a long time, walking and stopping, although it was afternoon, the sun was still very strong, and the three girls were a little weak, and they saw the door of Luo Meixuan from a distance, so they puffed up their strength again and accelerated their pace.

When he got closer, he saw a little girl looking at the door. When she saw Du Mei, she immediately laughed, revealing two small tiger teeth.

"Miss Du, my aunt has been waiting for you for a long time." The little girl hurriedly said to her.

"Sister Hua is here? Didn't you say okay, wait for me to deliver it? Du Meihu asked suspiciously.

"Oh, I really can't wait, you said you could get it in three or two days, I can't come and see it." Hua Yan, who was sitting in the lobby, heard the sound of talking and hurriedly came to the door.

"Let's go in and go upstairs." Dumeyan said.

"Look at my impatience, let's go." Hua Yan enthusiastically took Du Mei's arm.

Stay upstairs and sit down, Du Mei washed her hands, Tao Hong served Biluo spring tea, and Liu Lu also took the bag.

"Look, you want a crying civet." Du Mei opened the drawer of the big case, took out the fire beaver and handed it to Hua Yan.

"You're doing it fast and well, it's really exactly like the one in the painting." Hua Yan couldn't put it down.

"Today, you're a coincidence, I just embroidered it in the morning, and I found a good thing to match it in the afternoon." Du Mei took out a wooden box from his bag and placed it on the table.

"Oh, Meizi, you're so good, I'm worried that I can't fit one more." Hua Yan looked at the red sandalwood box and said sincerely.

The baby who got the heart and mind, Huayan had no intention of chatting, sat down slightly, avoided the heat, and hurried back to Su Mansion.

Du Mei went downstairs to see her off, and then went upstairs to clean up the tea set. She picked up the crumpled tabloid on the ground that was wrapped in a small wooden box, and suddenly, the line of words on it instantly burned her eyes! 2k reading web
