Chapter 175: Not Bad Money
The female shopkeeper who sold rouge gouache didn't say much, and looked at Su Wanniang's eyes with a flash of disdain.
Then, he opened the outermost rough box, pointed to Su Wanniang and said, "You can take a look at this, but you can't use it." The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Su Wanniang nodded, opened the porcelain box and looked at it, and then a slightly pungent inferior fragrance came to her nose.
Looking at the paste-like things that obviously had some impurities and yellowish all over the body, Su Wanniang only smelled a little bit of pork fat. Then, there's some cheesy aroma.
"How do you sell this?"
Su Wanniang was not optimistic, but she did not immediately look for a good one.
When the female shopkeeper heard this, she raised her eyebrows, and was a little surprised that Su Wanniang actually asked about the price, and said coldly: "Twenty Wen!" No two prices! ”
Twenty texts?
Hearing this price, Su Wanniang felt a little bottom in her heart: "Is there something better?" The aroma is too strong and dry. ”
The female shopkeeper was a little surprised when she heard this, she originally thought that Su Wanniang didn't understand anything, but she didn't expect that she would be able to see the good and the bad.
So, because it hasn't opened today, I endured the idea of driving people out and took out a good one from the counter behind me.
Su Wanniang looked at it, the box was obviously much better, and even the flowers painted on it looked beautiful.
"This kind of goods are from Fucheng, and they are the best I have here, fifty wen a box. If you want it, you can look at it, but if you don't, you can't open it. The female shopkeeper's words obviously didn't believe that Su Wanniang had the money to buy it.
Fifty and twenty are very different.
Su Wanniang took out fifty wen from her sleeve, spread it out, and said to the female shopkeeper: "If I don't open it and take a look, how can I know if the things inside are good?" And it's that I don't like the taste, isn't it for nothing? ”
At a glance, seeing Su Wanniang take out the copper plate, and there was no reluctance on her face, the female shopkeeper understood.
This woman is not short of this money.
"Hehe, Madame said with a smile, of course you can take a look. This taste is very good, even the wife of the Yamen family in our town also uses this. Although, the ladies she was talking about were just the wives of the servants.
It's just that no matter how small an official is, as long as he touches the edge of the yamen, he will be afraid of three points.
Su Wanniang didn't take her words to heart, people in business, they talk about people when they see people, and they talk nonsense when they see ghosts, she is not stupid.
Seeing that the attitude of the female shopkeeper had become attentive, Su Wanniang also took the opportunity to open the box and smell it, and then put the fifty wen on the counter: "I want this." With the box of face wiping cream, Su Wanniang went out of the shop.
Xu Junhao didn't care about these, just looked at them curiously.
On the way, Su Wanniang bought two more masks for the child, both of which were worn during the festival, saying that they were just fun to ward off evil spirits.
Su Wanniang They can't stay for long, and the home still needs to be decorated.
The boiled Laba porridge should be given to relatives and friends to try, and some should also be sprinkled at home, which is also the custom of Laba here.
"Mother, let's go!"
Su Wanniang was carrying a small burden, and when she came out this time, she didn't buy much.
Kong Miaoyu had always been worried about Su Wanniang's indiscriminate spending, and when she saw that she didn't take much, she was immediately relieved.
"Your eldest brother has already gone to look for your father and Yingjie's child, let's go to the teahouse and wait, or go directly to find them." Kong Miaoyu couldn't make up her mind, she didn't care about it.
When Su Wanniang heard this, she looked down at the child and said, "Let's go to the study and have a look!" ”
The three of them walked towards the place where they had parted ways before, and the study was all on the same street, and they could see it at a glance.
On the streets of Sanbao Town, there are bookstores everywhere, and I am angry when I look at the books. Here, there is always a very comfortable and peaceful feeling. The quaint streets and shops, all kinds of pedestrians walking on the road or students wearing robes and jackets when they walked into the shops, all gave Su Wanniang a feeling of trance.
"Dad, let's go!"
"Don't you think this book is good? Daddy saw you look at it for a while. ”
"Mingzhe, let's go! Yingjie is a good boy. ”
Before she approached the study, Su Wanniang heard the voice of her family when she was looking for someone, and she unconsciously heard the sound and searched for it.
"Hey, be careful, you can't just touch these books."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we'll leave now!"
"Hehe, little brother, take care of it, we don't mean anything else."
"Hey, don't get in the way here if you don't have any money to buy, we can't just come here for anyone. Moreover, these books are not cheap. ”
"That's, that's!"
"I'm sorry!"
......
Su Wanniang heard these words as soon as she approached, and before she could react, she saw Su Yingjie's red face. And Su Mingzhe and Su Zhengping were talking to a young man, and even the young man showed a look of disdain.
Su Zhengping and Su Mingzhe were apologetic, and Su Yingjie was young and vigorous, but he endured it.
When Su Wanniang saw this, a strange feeling rose in her heart.
"Dad, big brother! Why haven't you bought it yet? ”
Su Wanniang walked in front of her family, and then glanced at the place where the young man had just put the book, the book that had not yet been stuffed into it was obviously not parallel to other books.
"Yingjie, how is this? I'm going to choose some books for Jun Hao as well, I don't know if your husband has any good recommendations? Su Wanniang looked at everyone with a smile, and there was no embarrassment in her eyes at all.
The guy who originally reprimanded people, seeing this scene, originally wanted to open his mouth to ask Su Wanniang to put down the book, but he heard Su Wanniang's voice sound again.
"Little brother, how do you sell this book?"
The guy, who wanted these people to retreat from the difficulty, immediately said loudly: "This book is five taels of silver!" It's the only one in town! ”
There is pride and uncompromising in these words.
Su Wanniang smiled slightly, and did not put down the book because of its high price, and did not even show a trace of surprise.
Turning his head to Su Yingjie, he said, "Is this the book?" My aunt also wants to buy a few copies for Jun Hao, you take him to see it again, this one is for you first. Su Wanniang said, handed the book to the young man, and then gestured, "Where to settle the bill?" ”
When the young man heard this, this person actually bought it, and there was no hesitation. Suddenly, the worry on his face was also higher than others, and they all changed.
"This lady, please!"
When the young man was sluggish, the shopkeeper who had already heard the movement on the side immediately stepped forward.
He didn't come here before, but this kind of situation usually happens, and he just doesn't want to care.
After all, many times some people don't have the money to buy it, so they come to read a book. He's here to do business, not to open a charity church.
Su Yingjie saw that Su Wanniang wanted to buy it, and was about to open his mouth to stop it, but Su Mingzhe and Su Zhengping naturally understood Su Wanniang's meaning better, and immediately expressed gratitude, and deepened Su Wanniang's pity.
Kong Miaoyu originally felt sorry for five taels of silver, but she also knew that her daughter was doing this for the sake of the face of the men in the family. Of course, she also knows that her daughter will not buy useless things for the sake of face.
There is only one thing, and that is that those books are at the right price, and children need them.
"Take Hao'er to choose a few!" Su Mingzhe was grateful for his sister's help and spoke to his son, who had always been worried. He knew what his sister meant, but he also knew that his sister wouldn't make random decisions.
When Su Yingjie heard this, he was leading Xu Junhao to find the book.
