18. Buy furniture

The girl persuaded Shen Shuangshuang to take more back, but Shen Shuangshuang refused.

Said I wanted to try it first.

The girl was not reluctant.

Out of the Splendid Pavilion, Shen Shuangshuang walked to the carpenter workshop where he had bought the cart.

Now, her family has really been separated from the Li family, and the deed has been transferred.

It's time to buy big pieces of furniture or something.

When I arrived at the carpenter's workshop, the shopkeeper saw that it was Shen Shuangshuang, and remembered that when she came to buy a board car a few days ago, she said that she would ask him to buy furniture later, and greeted her warmly.

"Shopkeeper Li is good!" Shen Shuangshuang greeted first.

"Hello Mrs. Shen!" Shopkeeper Li returned the gift.

"Is Mrs. Shen here to choose furniture? But have you discussed it with your family? ”

Shen Shuangshuang smiled brightly.

"Hmm!"

Shopkeeper Li's eyes lit up.

"Come over here, please!" Hurry up and invite people inside.

Shen Shuangshuang put down the cart and followed Shopkeeper Li to visit.

There are not many furniture styles in the carpenter's workshop, but fortunately, Shen Shuangshuang's requirements are not high.

"There are three cabinets, three bookcases, a dining table, a cutting board, a cutting board, one large, medium and small wooden basin, four low stools, and six large stools with backrests, huh...... Four more benches. Shen Shuangshuang quickly ordered the goods.

She actually wanted to buy two lazy rocking chairs, but unfortunately she didn't see them in the carpenter's workshop.

But that doesn't matter, the lazy rocking chair can be set aside and arranged.

Shopkeeper Li listened and took notes.

Hearing that Shen Shuangshuang was going to buy so much furniture, he was very happy in his heart.

But it wasn't until I had memorized all the belongings that I realized that there was no bed in it.

"Didn't Mrs. Shen say last time that there is only one broken bed at home? Don't buy a bed this time? So, shopkeeper Li asked.

"It's still about a month and a half before the weather gets completely cold, and I estimate that I'm going to find someone to go to the house to make three kangs, so I won't buy a bed."

Although Shangyang Town does not belong to the north, it is still very cold in winter.

Especially in the mountains, the weather is colder.

My mother-in-law's leg is still hurting, but she can't freeze anymore.

Besides, she also wanted to have a warmer winter.

"Kang?" Shopkeeper Li was puzzled.

Shen Shuangshuang was stunned, remembering that the people here didn't seem to be sleeping on the kang.

"It's a special kind of bed." Shen Shuangshuang explained casually.

"Shopkeeper, you calculate, how much it costs for me to choose those just now."

Shopkeeper Li has some regrets.

But he didn't bother, took the abacus, and quickly calculated it.

"Six taels of silver, plus twenty-eight copper plates." Shopkeeper Li said.

Seeing Shen Shuangshuang looking over, Shopkeeper Li said again: "For the sake of Mrs. Shen, you bought so many shares, and the twenty-eight copper plates were wiped for you." ”

"Besides, how about I hire a few more ox carts to deliver the furniture directly to your house?"

Shen's eyes moved.

"Six taels." Opening.

Shopkeeper Li's face changed.

"Where is this? With so many things, I have to lose money for six taels of silver. ”

Shen Shuangshuang had a smile on his face.

"I can't lose you by designation! Just six taels. You see, I came to buy a scooter before, and I said I was going to come back to you to buy furniture, so I came. ”

"Why don't you give a real price for buying so much furniture?"

Shopkeeper Li looked embarrassed.

"Six taels and five dollars of silver, the lowest price! I'll have to pay extra money to hire an ox cart for you to make deliveries!" He said.

"Six taels and one money!" Shen Shuangshuang said.

"I'll give you one less penny, six taels or four coins of silver, no less!" Shopkeeper Li's face was about to wrinkle.

"Six, two, two dollars!" Both continued.

Shopkeeper Li's face darkened.

I can't help but think of the last time Shen Shuangshuang asked him to buy a board car, he bargained with himself.

"Six, two, three! If the little lady wants, she will arrange delivery for you in three days. If you don't want to, let's forget about this business. "The heart is horizontal, Li shopkeeper said.

He's seen a lot of bargaining, but it's the first time he's bargained like this lady.

"Deal!" Shen Shuangshuang's face was happy, and he was happy.

Isn't this a difficult situation in her family now, saving a penny is a penny.

Save a penny of silver, and the pork is enough for her to cut seven or eight catties.

Isn't it fragrant to take the silver you have saved and cut the meat and eat it?

Shopkeeper Li glanced at Shen Shuangshuang sadly.

praised her for being "diligent and thrifty", and then invited her aside to pay the deposit.

Shen Shuangshuang didn't dwell on this, and happily handed over a deposit of two taels of silver.

"By the way, shopkeeper Li, do you have a familiar mason?" After paying, Shen Shuangshuang asked Shopkeeper Li.

The matter of pankang must also be arranged as soon as possible.

"Yes, go out to the third house on the right. The old master's surname is Liu, and he is an old mason. Now I have three sons and do the work for others. Shopkeeper Li said.

"That's good, I'll ask! Thank you, Mr. Li! Shen Shuangshuang thanked him.

"Mrs. Shen is polite." Shopkeeper Li answered.

Shen Shuangshuang went out at this time.

Then according to the instructions of the shopkeeper Li, he went to Liu's house.

After knocking on the door, Master Liu and his sons all went out to work, but Master Liu's wife, Qian, was at home.

Knowing that Shen Shuangshuang was introduced by the shopkeeper Li, Qian was very enthusiastic.

"Shen Niangzi, don't worry, I have been in this business for twenty or thirty years. As long as you have the drawings, the kang will definitely be able to make it for you even if he hasn't done it. Hearing Shen Shuangshuang's description, Qian said confidently.

Seeing Shen Shuangshuang's face hesitating, Qian continued: "That's it, anyway, your Dahe Village is not far away. ”

"I'll ask him to run around tomorrow morning and take a look at your house. When the time comes, you will be interviewed face to face. ”

Shen Shuangshuang was overjoyed.

"What's so good about this, in case it doesn't work out then-" he said.

"It's fine. Anyway, the four of them are doing work for people in the village next door to you. By the way, a trip to your house won't delay much work. ”

"Done! That's hard work for you. Shen Shuangshuang finally responded.

Then he told the Qian family about his residence.

When I came out of Liu's house, it was already noon.

Although it has been more than a month since the beginning of autumn, the weather is still a little hot.

Touching the stomach that made a protest sound, Shen Shuangshuang took the buns out of the back basket and ate the buns while pushing the cart to the West City Gate.

When I passed by the grain store, I also went in to buy rice and noodles.

Last time, because the basket was too small and there were too many things to load, she didn't dare to buy too much rice and noodles.

Out of the West City Gate, because of the need to push the cart, Shen Shuangshuang could not go to the ox cart.

Fortunately, Dahe Village is actually not far from Shangyang Town, and she regained some strength after eating steamed buns, and she could walk back in less than two quarters of an hour.

Gritting his teeth, Shen Shuangshuang decided to walk.

Because it was past noon, there was almost no one on the official road.

If Shen Shuangshuang wanted to, she could have put the things on the board car into the space along with the board car, but she didn't do so.

Because she has already decided that she will use as little space as possible in the future to avoid being discovered as abnormal.

Walking on the road, the fatigue of his body made Shen Shuangshuang more and more firm in his beliefs.

She wants to work hard to earn money and buy an ox cart for her family as soon as possible.
