[Please keep in mind the domain name of this site " ", or search in Baidu: Sanlian Literature Network] Gong heard someone calling her. Hurriedly put down the silk flower in his hand and looked up at the person.
A woman wearing a moon-white Luo skirt ran over and said to her anxiously, "Go to the front of the wooden number to change the cloth!" Three hundred wen a piece of cloth, yarn is worth more than three hundred wen. Hurry up! ”
When Gong heard her say this, he hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law Xiang, but is it true? Where is it? ”
Sister-in-law Xiang smiled and said, "Really." I just got it! I'm rushing back to bring two more horses. People said that even if it was noon, it was still at this price. Where do you say there is such a good thing. ”
"Wooden size? I haven't heard of it. ”
Sister-in-law Xiang smiled happily, and there were deep lines in the corners of her eyes: "What have you heard of?" It's real when you get the money! It's from out of town, no matter how long he can do it, take this opportunity to get more money. I didn't tell you, I need to go back quickly! ”
Hearing this, Gong took Ruixue and rushed over according to the address said by Xiang's sister-in-law. Sure enough, there was a large red firecracker scattered at the door of a shop, and a trace of gunpowder could be smelled when you smelled it carefully.
Rui Xue saw that the sign was written on the wooden cloth shop.
Gong stood at the door and wanted to inquire again, but a middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper came out, warmly invited Gong and Ruixue into the house, and asked the guy to pour tea for them to eat.
Where did Gong have received such a warm hospitality, but he was a little uncomfortable: "We don't eat tea." I've heard that your store collects cloth, but is it true? ”
The shopkeeper smiled and nodded: "Exactly." But we don't charge a price, if my sister-in-law has good craftsmanship, the price will be high. If it's worse, the price will be lower. ”
It was the first time Gong had heard such a method, and she handed over the cloth she had woven nervously: "Then you see if I can do it?" ”
The shopkeeper touched the fabric and beckoned the young man: "Go!" Ask Master Duan to come out. ”
The young man answered, and went to the back and invited a master to come out. When the shopkeeper saw him coming, he hurriedly stood up: "Master Duan, please take a look at this cloth!" ”
Master Duan touched it, looked at the sun, and nodded incessantly: "Good craftsmanship, good craftsmanship, exquisite texture, smooth, visible strength is just right." ”
Gong looked at Master Duan, who had white hair and beard, a little nervously, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous, afraid that if something bad came out of his mouth, his cloth would be even less valuable.
The shopkeeper listened to Master Duan's praise so unsparingly, and asked with a smile: "How much is it worth?" ”
"It's worth four hundred wen."
"Four hundred wen!" Gong opened his mouth in surprise, "Four hundred Wen? ”
"How is it too little?"
Gong Shi hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, no." This is really beyond her expectations, on weekdays, one of her pieces of cloth can be sold for three hundred and twenty Wen, but she doesn't want to be worth so much today.
"This craft, if the cotton is better, five hundred wen is fine." Master Duan motioned to the man to accept Gong's cloth, "Look at the texture of your cloth, it's the craftsmanship of Songjiang Mansion!" ”
Gong nodded.
Rui Xue, who was watching from the side, couldn't help but admire this Master Duan, he could know that the Gong family was from Songjiang Mansion just by touching the cloth, it was really amazing!
The shopkeeper was very happy to see that Rui Xue was still holding two yarns in his hands. Said to Ruixue: "The little girl is here to deliver yarn?" Let me see? ”
Rui Xue glanced at Gong Shi and handed over the yarn in her hand. Master Duan took a look and said to the shopkeeper, "Please come to Brother Shi." He's a connoisseur! ”
Master Shi was a man in his forties, he pulled out half of the veil, folded several layers, and directly took a glass of white water and poured it.
"This ......"
When the water was all leaked, Master Shi nodded solemnly: "Six hundred wen." ”
This offer shocked Gong even more. Six hundred wen, which is half of what was given before.
Rui Xue didn't understand, why the same thing has become a world of price here? She has seen the cloth woven by the Gong family, there is nothing special, and the yarn woven by Yuan's mother is the same as ordinary yarn, how can there be such a big gap? This master Shi can judge the quality of a piece of yarn just by pouring a glass of white water.
The shopkeeper immediately ordered the man to take the money at the price said by the two masters and handed it to Gong: "Sister-in-law's craftsmanship is good, but the material is not good." It's better to take some good materials from us, and let's calculate the wages separately. ”
Gong Shi looked at the two hanging coins in her hand, and then she was a little convinced, she looked at the shopkeeper questioningly, not understanding what he meant.
"A piece of cloth sells for hundreds of dollars, and there is a horse that sells for dozens of taels. My sister-in-law is from Songjiang Mansion, so she should know the doorway. ”
Gong nodded.
Ruixue didn't know anything about it, but she heard that the gap was so big. couldn't help but be a little strange, and dragged out: "Why? ”
The shopkeeper smiled and patiently explained to Ruixue: "Songjiang Mansion is named after Sansuobu. The underwear worn by the saints today is made of three-shuttle cloth; And the other fan cloth is very popular in the official face. Each horse is worth a hundred taels. It's all about the material and the craftsmanship of the weavers. Good materials and good craftsmanship can be worth a hundred times. ”
Gong said proudly: "Of course, there is not a saying called 'Songjiang cloth that cannot be bought, Weitang yarn that cannot be harvested', it is what we are talking about." ”
Ruixue nodded, so that's it. She asked tentatively: "Then if you take a good yarn as a head flower, can one be worth a penny?" ”
The shopkeeper's expression immediately changed when he looked at Rui Xue, he didn't answer Rui Xue immediately, but pondered for a while, and slowly spoke: "It's completely okay." ”
Rui Xue couldn't help but marvel at the fact that she would earn more by making yarn as a head flower. There are very few flowers used for a head, and a piece of yarn can even make hundreds. That's a matter of dozens of taels of silver!
"Or more." The shopkeeper's sudden words made Gong and Ruixue a little confused. But they quickly reacted, and he was adding.
From a few hundred dollars to dozens of taels of silver, yarn is still yarn, but such a big change has occurred. Ruixue opened her eyes again.
The shopkeeper looked at Rui Xue, nodded at her with a smile, and continued to say to Gong: "It's a pity that my sister-in-law has such a good pair of skills. If it can be delivered, it will not be at this price. ”
When Gong Shi heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little moved in her heart, but she knew that the best cotton was not bought by her, and if this store was squeezed out as before, then she would lose a lot.
"I ...... I'm just subsidizing my family. ”
The expression on Gong's face was all in the shopkeeper's eyes, he smiled slightly, and ordered the man to bring a few bundles of good cotton thread and silk thread and handed them to Gong: "Is it feasible for sister-in-law to take it from me?" As long as the time comes, it will be delivered. ”
Gong said suspiciously: "Do you want to press the deposit?" I don't have that much silver. ”
The shopkeeper pushed the line to Gong's side: "Don't do anything." ”
Gong believed it this time. She didn't expect that there would be such a good thing in the world, and she didn't even have to produce the cotton thread herself. As long as you weave it yourself, it's done. She asked excitedly, "How much is each horse?" ”
The shopkeeper said: "As long as my sister-in-law brings it every time, it is the same good." I still give my sister-in-law 300 wen per piece of cloth and 400 wen for yarn. ”
Gong secretly calculated the account in his heart, no, she didn't have to calculate it at all, she just earned, more than that. She hurriedly agreed, put away the thread and wrapped it: "Three days later, I will come to hand over the cloth in three days." She paused, and then said, "My house is next to the drum tower, you will know when you ask Yuan Lin's family." My man is a soldier. ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Three days later, I will wait for my sister-in-law here." But ask my sister-in-law for a favor. ”
Gong Shi was slightly stunned, but the people had already opened their mouths, and she couldn't refuse, so she had to ask, "What?" ”
The shopkeeper said, "Please also ask my sister-in-law to talk about it for us." It is only said that our Song Zi number collects cloth, and the cloth is 300 wen a horse. ”
Gong Shi heard that this was the case, and nodded again and again.
After walking a few steps out of the store, Gong stopped again, looked back at the Songzi cloth shop, looked at the pretense, and asked Rui Xue again: "Is this true?" ”
Ruixue smiled and nodded.
Gong touched the money in his arms and nodded: "It's true, it's true." There is such a good thing in the world. Walk. Let's go shopping. I'll buy you something to eat later. ”
Gong, who has money on his body, has enough confidence to see things. It's not like looking at something before and not daring to ask the price: "How much is a pair of these earrings?" ”
Gong Shi took a jade-encrusted earring that the other party had just looked at and asked.
"Two pennies." The merchant greeted Gong, he recognized that she had already come to him, and saw that the cloth she was holding was gone, and he expected that the money had been exchanged, and the courtesy in his tone became even stronger, "This is the best jade." He lowered his voice and said, "This was originally a scrap of jade carvings for the palace, and someone smuggled it out and sold it at a cheap price." Look at the look, the green, the workmanship. You can't buy anything so good at this price. ”
Although Gong likes earrings, he just asks for two dollars. Equal to one or two silver, she was somewhat reluctant, she put down the earrings hesitantly, looked at the ornaments on the side, picked and picked, and looked at it, she was still not willing to buy a hairpin, only chose two bundles of colored silk threads.
Gong took the money and bought two more pieces of cloth, and cut some pork belly: "Go back and boil the soup for you to drink." ”
Rui Xue shook her head and whispered, "It's not good to boil pork belly soup." Sister-in-law might as well ask if there are any bones, it's good to boil soup with big bones. ”
When Gong heard her say this, he asked the meat seller for a few clean pork bones.
The meat seller was a little reluctant, and Gong gave an extra two cents, so he took three pork bones.
Gong had too many things in his hand, so he bought a bamboo basket and put everything in. took Rui Xue's hand and said happily: "Let's go, I'll take you to eat!" ”
There is a food stall on the side of the Lotus Temple, because yesterday was the Obon Festival, and there are temple fairs for three days in a row, so there are many people. Ruixue couldn't help but swallow as she watched the people sitting at the food stall laughing and eating all kinds of things. The taste of this piece is so fragrant.
Gong pulled Ruixue to sit on a small table in a stall, poured tea and drank it himself, and asked the boss to serve two bowls of "not old", and took out a handkerchief and took two pairs of chopsticks in the chopstick cage and wiped them carefully.
"Please eat our good stuff."
The boss brought it up, and Ruixue looked at it and thought it was like tender tofu. I tasted it, and it was really tofu. It is extremely smooth in the mouth, and it is really delicious.
Gong Shi took two bites in a row and said with a smile: "I had the best this!" As long as you come out, you can eat a bowl if you can. ”
Rui Xue nodded, in fact, this tofu is average, but the marinade he poured tastes good, and he did not hesitate to add dried shrimp, shredded fungus, shredded mustard, chili oil, sprinkled green onions, and fried soybeans that were extremely loud and crispy. Sure enough, it tastes good.
"There is a family over there that has muffins that taste good, and my mother-in-law loves them. Later, let's go over and buy some and bring them home. Gong said with Ruixue in the gap between eating. Let's hurry. Wait for the next time to deliver cloth ......" Gong Shi looked at the snacks on other stalls and was ruthless, "I'll invite you to eat something else." Eat good! ”
