"What is she serving, our father and mother are here, we can use her!"

Sibao said, but looked at He Xia'er, who was working hard, and said: "Let her go back, let her come over alone at our grandmother's house, she herself is uncomfortable, and she is embarrassed to leave early, but our eldest lady, you don't know yet!" I'm afraid she's going to go back and be scolded if she's late! ”

He nodded in response: "Then, let's leave in advance." Our family has done so much, not bad for this one. ”

Sibao smiled and said, "It's exactly this Li'er!" ”

In the middle of the afternoon, He Laosan came back with Chen to take a look, praised a few children, and hurried away again.

He Zao didn't wait for them, and pulled He Chun'er and Sibao to plan the New Year's goods to be bought in the town tomorrow.

The New Year's gift must be prepared, and relatives must take the New Year's gift.

Then there are some New Year's goods, Ah Che and they went to the mountains on the twenty-ninth day of the New Year, even if the He family persuaded them, they insisted on going, but they promised not to go deep into the mountains, so they only went around the periphery.

There are all kinds of vegetables in the greenhouse of the He family, these vegetables are sold for more than 1,600 taels of silver in the whole month, and the sales of Songhua eggs and persimmons have increased dramatically as the New Year approaches, and the He family has more than 3,600 taels of silver in this month alone.

He decided to take out a part of it to buy some gold and silver jewelry, which can not only enrich the monotonous jewelry life in ancient times, but also a means of saving.

A few children were afraid that they would be robbed by gangsters without an adult, so they deliberately took the mountain.

Dashan will not celebrate the New Year in his hometown this year, but at his sister's house, he is also in urgent need of wages, and took the initiative to ask for a holiday on the Chinese New Year's Eve, the third room is just short of people, naturally agreed, He Zao even promised to celebrate the New Year for ten days, and the long-term workers and sister-in-law Hao who still worked, the salary was doubled.

Therefore, no matter who it was, they did not complain that the He family did not release people early.

When I went home, I also helped clean up the house, buy New Year's goods, and the most important thing in the countryside was labor.

He Zao and they bought everything else before they went to the gold and silver shop together.

Originally, He Zao thought that he would go to the city to buy gold and silver, and the quality in the county town was a little better than that in the town, but the adults were not available, so he gave up.

There are good ones in town, but there are fewer tricks.

Qibao didn't come, He Zao picked one for him, Sibao and He Chun'er each picked their favorites, He Zao and He Chun'er were for Chen's family, He Laosan also picked something, and finally, He Zao fell in love with a piece of mutton fat jade worth two hundred taels of silver, she took it in her hand and looked at it for a long time, and asked for a long time.

Or He Chun'er saw the clue: "Zao'er, you want to send it to Brother Ache?" ”

He nodded early: "For the New Year, you have to give something, he is alone in our village for the New Year, and it is pitiful enough!" ”

"Zhonghe, then send this!"

He Chun'er nodded.

He Zao shook his head: "No, although this jade is good, I always feel that it is not suitable for Brother Ah Che, I will pick something else." ”

"I think it's very good, these two hundred taels of silver, the quality of the jade is good!" If this was before, He Chun'er would never dare to evaluate jade, but now she also has two or three pieces of jade jewelry in her hand, which are worth a lot of money, and she has some research on jade.

The shopkeeper in the store also knew a few sisters and brothers, and knew that he was a big customer, so he had already come over to serve him personally, and when he saw that a few people couldn't make up their minds, he hurriedly smiled and said: "This mutton fat jade came from the south, if it weren't for some flaws on the back, it would definitely not be sold so cheaply, and it would cost five or six hundred silver!" ”

"Where's the flaw?" He Chun'er didn't notice it, so she asked.

The shopkeeper pointed to her, but there was a small crack on the back of the jade, which she couldn't find if she didn't look carefully.

The quality of this jade is superb, it feels smooth and flawless, and it is also cold and cold, and it will be very cool in summer.

"Not really." He Chun'er hesitated a little again: "What if Brother Ah Che is not satisfied with this purchase?" I think that although he is depressed now, the food, clothing, and clothes on his body are all considered high-quality miles, and there is nothing unparticular! ”

He Zao smiled secretly, this is what He Chun'er also noticed.

"The conditions of our family Brother Ache are clear, there is no need to buy too expensive, I think this is very good!"

The Four Treasures also said.

He had already taken the jade and looked at it carefully, since just now she has been thinking about how to completely cover this crack, she had an idea, and said: "Don't you carve a pattern of a big canyon on this crack, this crack is just a canyon, on both sides are towering mountains, white clouds, green trees or something!" ”

She looked at the shopkeeper.

Naturally, there is a sharp eye in this business, and the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he stretched out his thumb: "The second girl is so ingenious!" What a smart and clever one! ”

He Zao couldn't help but dig his lips and laugh.

"The showcase, this jade is still two hundred taels of silver, how much does the carving craftsmanship cost?"

He Chun'er was afraid that the shopkeeper's repentance would increase by several thousand, so he hurriedly determined it.

Fortunately, the shopkeeper is a personal essence, who has been in business for more than ten years, and has long known who can be offended and who can not be offended.

He nodded happily: "It's not expensive, it's not expensive, I happen to have a good master at home, I'll let him get out without eating or drinking for a few days!" As for this fee, just take fifty taels of silver, and if it is a New Year, it can be regarded as a reward! ”

Fifty taels, it's okay, this shopkeeper doesn't ask for much.

He Chun'er quickly made a deal with the other party.

Since He Zao was still there, because of what gift to give, this jade was bought by He Chun'er and asked the store to wrap it carefully.

He Chun'er smiled: "Let's each send a gift to Brother Ache, and he will prepare a gift for us one by one!" ”

"This is called courtesy, his identity as a swordsman, who let him practice swords every day!" He Zao smiled, and suddenly a flash of inspiration came to him, and he thought of what he bought.

They went to the blacksmith shop, which was the best blacksmith in town, selling a few swords, axes and other sharp tools.

Of course He Zao will not buy a sword to go back, no matter how well the sword in this kind of place is cast, it is not as good as the one in the capital.

She came to order a dagger.

The so-called dagger is somewhat similar to modern fruit knives, except that the blade is sharper and thinner.

But He Zao had a special request, she asked the dagger to be packed in an ordinary bamboo tube, from the outside, it looked like a bamboo tube for letters, and when it was pulled out, it was a very sharp blade, and there was still space hidden in the bamboo tube, which could be stuffed with a few needles or a comfortable letter or something.

When the bamboo tube is finished, the head and tail are opened, and the upper part is pierced with a few holes to make a mini version of the bamboo pipe. Whoever sees it will be treated as a toy and will not care.

After listening to He Zao's video, everyone else was dumbfounded, and one thought to himself, this idea is too rare, and I have never heard of it! But it sounds amazing!
