Chapter 116: Frequent Deaths
With the harvest, Chen Fan was suddenly refreshed, he was not even hungry, and walked forward in great strides.
But when I saw the sweet potato stand, I was hungry again.
"Master, here are two roasted sweet potatoes."
This is a stall of roasted sweet potatoes, he has two stoves, one roasted, one steamed, 5 cents a pound of roasted sweet potatoes, the big ones can almost weigh seven or eight taels, and the small ones also have two or three taels, and there is an endless stream of people who come to buy.
Only the residents of the town are willing to buy soft-shelled turtle meat for 1 yuan, but sweet potatoes for 5 cents a pound are within the tolerance of most members.
The sweet potatoes sold in the grain store are only 3 cents a catty, if you take a food stamp to buy, a catty of food stamps can buy 7 catties of sweet potatoes, spend 5 cents to weigh a catty, adults and children can eat, and it doesn't cost a few more money, so there are naturally more people who buy it.
Chen Fan weighed two big ones, just one and a half pounds, took out 1 cent to pay the bill, and found 3 cents back.
gave one to Jiang Lili, and then carried the basket on her arm and ate while walking.
When the sweet potatoes were finished, I saw a sugar gourd seller.
This is a good thing, Chen Fan immediately rushed forward in a hurry, "Old ...... Master, how to sell rock sugar gourds? ”
It's so dangerous, I almost shouted as the boss.
The young man in his twenties raised his head, "Just call Master, I'm not old." ”
Then he smiled, "5 cents a string, there are 12 pieces in a string, if it is too expensive, it is 5 cents a piece." ”
Can it still be sold alone?
Looking at his "Langya stick" again, sure enough, there are only five left.
The young man thought he was too expensive, so he smiled and said, "Little master, you are not too expensive, a hard candy in the store costs 2 cents, you see my sugar gourd, they are all big hawthorns, and the syrup wrapped in them is also very thick, a 5 cents is really not expensive, and if you buy a bunch, there are two more, it is very cost-effective." ”
Chen Fan smacked his lips and took out a dollar, "Two strings." ”
Jiang Lili hurriedly waved her hand to the side, "I don't need it, I don't need it, just eat it." ”
It's nothing to eat a few cents of a sweet potato, and a bunch of sugar gourds costs 5 cents, which can almost cover her for a day's work, and the price is too high, so she doesn't want to accept it.
As a result, Chen Fan ignored her, directly picked two strings, stuffed one string to her, and took another bite of his own, "Hmm, sweet and sour is delicious." ”
The young boss was also very happy to make a business, "I said it, it is guaranteed to be delicious." ”
The two continued on their way.
After a while, Chen Fan saw a bunch of people around in front of him, walked over to take a look, and saw a person holding a big bowl, using a small bow and arrow-like thing to drill on the bowl, he couldn't help but be a little curious, and asked in a low voice, "What is this for?" ”
Jiang Lili was holding the sugar gourd, hesitating whether to eat it, and when she heard Chen Fan's words, she reacted, tilted her head and looked, "Oh, that's mending the bowl." ”
Mending bowls?
Chen Fan's eyes lit up, this is a lost stunt, "Don't do porcelain work without diamonds", this is what he is talking about.
Immediately holding a sugar gourd, he went up to join in the fun.
Jiang Lili had no choice but to follow him.
Chen Fan turned his head to look at her, then looked around, and whispered, "Are there any acquaintances here?" ”
Jiang Lili also looked at it, and then shook her head, "No." ”
Chen Fan changed positions with her again, "I'll keep you inside, you eat first, eat and then cover your face." ”
Jiang Lili puffed out her cheeks, looked around again, and found that no one noticed her, so she carefully dropped the homespun cloth covering her face and took a bite gently. The sweet and sour taste permeated her mouth, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help but bend.
At this time, Chen Fan's attention was on the bowl mending master.
Dressed in gray homespun clothes and with a thick piece of leather on his legs, the bowl master grasped the bowl with one hand and made holes in the bowl with a drill in the other.
Then he used a copper nail to penetrate it, hammered it tightly with a small hammer, grabbed something and smeared it on the crack, and after a while, a large bowl full of copper nails was handed to the customer.
The man held the bowl and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, took out 5 cents and handed it over, "The master has worked hard." ”
The bowl mending master smiled and took it, "Thank you." ”
Chen Fan looked at the big bowl in other people's hands, and suddenly turned his head to Jiang Lili and said, "Do we have any broken bowls?" ”
Jiang Lili's eyes rolled slightly, and then she shook her head slightly, "No." ”
Chen Fan smacked his lips, "It's a pity." ”
After a pause, he added, "How about I say that if I go buy a bowl now, and then accidentally break it, and then give it to him to make up for it?" ”
Although Jiang Lili didn't know what it meant to be speechless, her expression at this time perfectly interpreted what it meant to be speechless.
Buy a new bowl and make up for it, what kind of thinking is this?
Chen Fan snorted, "Just kidding." ”
Then he shook his head, "Let's go, keep shopping." ”
Jiang Lili hurriedly pulled up the cloth towel and followed behind him.
At this time, Chen Fan discovered that in addition to selling agricultural products, there are not a few local craftsmen.
In contrast, the person who mended the bowl just now can only be said to be ordinary.
Not far from him, there was a "chisel bowl word".
The so-called "chiseling bowl character" is to use a sharp steel needle to engrave words on the inside of the bowl.
Some are engraved at the bottom of the bowl, some are engraved in the bowl, only to see the craftsman holding the steel needle in one hand, holding a small hammer in the other hand, carving on the bowl little by little, the hammer looks very hard, but the needle is very light, every time you knock it, there is a white dot, one by one the white dots are connected together, is a word, or a pattern.
Seeing this scene, Chen Fan turned his head to look at Jiang Lili again, "This is always okay, right?" ”
Jiang Lili naturally knew that he was talking about buying new bowls to engrave words, although she didn't understand why Chen Fan seemed to be very interested in these things, she still nodded lightly and said, "Yes." ”
Then he shook his head again, "But it's not necessary, they engrave to distinguish, because when eating in the countryside, they often need to find someone else's house to borrow a bowl, and in order to distinguish whose bowl it is, they will engrave and mark it, but in the 6th team, no one comes to Zhiqing to borrow a bowl, so don't use it." ”
Chen Fan didn't stubbornly have to engrave, just smacked his lips and regretted giving up.
After a while, the bowl chisel carved a stack of bowls, dipped a black cloth in some water, and wiped it on each chisel word and pattern, and the white chisel instantly turned black, and the pattern appeared clearly.
Then the dishwasher raised his head and smiled a little flatteringly, "Two words are a penny, you have a total of 20 bowls here, exactly 1 cent." ”
The customer checked each bowl and found no problems before paying the bill.
Chen Fan watched from the sidelines, and couldn't help gritting his teeth and grinning.
With such a lot of effort, you can earn 1 cent,...... If you think about the tinker on the other side, it seems to be about the same.
