Chapter 14: Cheap
"And this good thing?"
The man standing on the right side of Lu Yangge smiled, "This Luo pot is picky and stingy, he said that it is cheap, at most it is cheap and half a penny is good." ”
As he spoke, the man raised his voice and shouted: "Shopkeeper Luo, you say it's cheap, but you don't say the price, how do we know if you're cheap or not?" ”
Shopkeeper Luo hesitated for a moment while holding the cloth, and gritted his teeth: "Such a good material, it has to be sold for at least 15 wen a foot on weekdays, and today, I will bleed once and sell it to you for 12 wen." ”
Looking at the way he gritted his teeth, it seemed that someone had taken a great advantage.
"12 Wen? Are you fooling a fool? ”
"It's so expensive! 12. It's not appropriate to buy a piece of white cloth back with one foot, right? ”
"Only a fool will buy it, the burlap is strong and durable, and it only sells for 12 cents a foot. Your cloth is soft and not pulled, it is still white, and it is not durable to wear or wash, not to mention, it is not suitable for this color. ”
Countryside people don't like white cloth, white cloth is generally bought by rich people to make underwear to wear, or there is a funeral at home, buy back to make filial piety robes.
Those who have money will not buy the cloth that has been spoiled by rats, and those who do not have money will not even be able to wear an outer garment, let alone make an undergarment from white cloth.
The shopkeeper Luo bought this batch of white cloth back, and it was also cheap, and he wanted to come back and dye it before buying it.
Who knows, when I entered the warehouse, I was gnawed by a mouse, and this white cloth that had been gnawed would be lost if it was dyed and sold out.
Although it is not said that some of the cloth has been gnawed, but there are three or four volumes of the dozens of rolls in this warehouse.
For the shopkeeper Luo who can't wait to break a money into two pieces, this is also really distressing for him.
"Such a good cotton cloth, Shiwen you still dislike expensive?"
Seeing that everyone didn't buy it, Shopkeeper Luo could only grit his teeth and descend again, "Ten Wen, ten Wen and one foot, it can't be less." ”
"Don't."
"If it's five cents and one foot, we'll consider it."
"Yes, if it's five cents and one foot, we'll buy a few feet."
Seeing that everyone called the price so low, the shopkeeper Luo's fat face turned red, white, and finally rose to the color of pig liver: "You are too ...... to deceive people."
"Shopkeeper Luo, the cloth is yours, the money is ours, and the business is from the heart, why did he bully you?"
Lu Yangge weighed the copper plate in his hand, and took a step forward cheekily, "If you really want five cents a foot, I will buy a few feet of cloth and go back to make a gown for my brother." ”
Seeing that it was a child who only bought a few feet of cloth, Shopkeeper Luo glared at him angrily, and waved him away: "Don't mix with the child, go aside." ”
Five cents a foot, he might as well keep his own home to make underwear to wear.
As soon as Shopkeeper Luo's hand touched the corner of Lu Yangge's clothes, he saw her staggering two steps and sitting on the ground with her ass.
Is this falsely accused?
"Hey, you kid, are you looking for trouble?"
Shopkeeper Luo raised his hand and wanted to fight, but he saw a little girl in shabby clothes rushing over from the side, knocking his rock-solid body backwards, and almost falling back into the shop.
Lu Xiaoyu pointed at the shopkeeper Luo and asked, "Why are you pushing my little four, he is just sick." ”
On weekdays, Lu Xiaoyu is not outstanding, and it is also because she saw that the shopkeeper Luo pushed Lu Xiaosi to Lu Xiaosi, so she was in a hurry. At this moment, the little girl's little hands were clenched tightly, as if Shopkeeper Luo really dared to beat her brother, and she really dared to fight with Shopkeeper Luo
Shopkeeper Luo didn't dare to really reach out to fight when he saw this posture, Jiangjiaba is no more than other places, there are more docks, more ships, and more beggars.
If this child is a local child, it is fine, but if it is those beggars who come with the boat, they can't be offended, and there are people behind those beggars.
"I didn't push him."
Shopkeeper Luo held the cloth in one hand and held it high in the other, "Don't lie to me, if you want to slander me, I will report to the official." ”
"Phew, who lied to you?"
Lu Xiaoyu snorted angrily, and turned around to help Lu Yangge, "Little Si, did you fall, does it hurt." ”
"It hurts."
Lu Yangge sat on the ground and refused to get up, "Shopkeeper Luo, you should report to the official quickly, just say that you pushed me to the point of breaking it, and see if the government will punish you for your crime or my crime." ”
"Good boy."
Shopkeeper Luo was completely enraged at this time, and threw the cloth in his hand directly into the store, regardless of whether it was dirty or not, he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to come up and beat someone, "I think you are tired and crooked." ”
If you really want to be pinched by this poor boy, how can he get mixed up in this Jiangjiaba in the future, his surname is Luo.
"Shopkeeper Luo, what a majesty." From behind Lu Yangge, a man stood out
The man who stood up, dressed in soap clothes, with a waist knife on his waist, raised his hand to block the slap of the shopkeeper Luo, "This Jiang Jiaba seems to be your world?" ”
Dong ...... Dong Wu ......"
Looking at the man in front of him, Shopkeeper Luo was shocked.
This Dong Wu and his brother-in-law are of the same clan and serve in the county government, why did they come to Jiangjiaba today?
Seeing that Shopkeeper Luo saw his shocked face, Dong Wu held down the handle of the knife with one hand and stood still, only the smile on his face made people feel a little chilled in his heart.
At first glance, this person is a person who has seen blood, and the murderous aura on his body is too heavy.
When Shopkeeper Luo saw someone coming, he was suddenly a little short of breath: "Dong Zhutou, listen to my explanation!" It's not my uncle's heart that bullies my nephew. I'm his own uncle, can I bully him? It was him, it was he who was disobedient, and he actually put the newly collected fabric in the left treasury. There are rats in the left treasury, what a good cloth, it cost me a few hundred taels of silver, and it was ruined by rats. ”
When the young man saw his fifth uncle coming, he had lost his relatives in the past few months, and the grievances of the store being occupied immediately came to his heart. He endured the pain and rubbed it out, but before he could speak, the tears could not stop crackling and falling.
"Fifth uncle, that fabric is not from the left warehouse, it's the eldest cousin......"
"What's your big cousin?"
Shopkeeper Luo saw that his nephew was going to push the responsibility on his eldest son, and he immediately became anxious, "Your eldest cousin went to his father-in-law's house the day before yesterday, and this fabric was fine yesterday!" ”
The young man stretched out his hand and wiped away a handful of tears: "This fabric was obviously transported back from the dock by the eldest cousin yesterday, and the eldest cousin also went to his father-in-law's house early this morning." ”
"You fart." Shopkeeper Luo was in a hurry, and his face turned the color of pig liver again.
Seeing that Lu Yangge was a little hesitant, should she continue to sit on the ground, sit, when the time comes, she will be angry with this Luo shopkeeper, does she want to take responsibility?
Get up, it seems that you can't get over your face for a while.
"Shopkeeper Luo."
Lu Yangge sat on the ground and raised his head and shouted, "Since you said that your eldest son went to his father-in-law's house the day before yesterday, and this little brother said that your son came back from the dock yesterday with fabrics, don't you know about this matter as soon as you go to the dock?" ”
"Don't ask."
Immediately, someone looking for a life at the dock shouted, "Yesterday, the fabric of Luo's cloth shop was unloaded by Chen Ping'an of the wild wharf and his uncle. The big guys have seen this with their own eyes, and they can't be wrong. ”
