Chapter 55: The Shopkeeper of the Ink Gate (1)

Twisting a bag of dried fish, Ah Wei searched the bazaar, and finally found a shop that did wood work around the corner.

Ah Wei turned around and signaled to Wang Yuan, and then walked in alone.

When the shopkeeper saw the customer, he hurriedly greeted him. Seeing that it was just a teenage girl, she couldn't help frowning for a while, and after distinguishing that the material of A's shirt was an expensive moon white yarn, she straightened her attitude and greeted her with a smile.

Originally, Ah Wei was going to keep filial piety for three years, but at this moment she should still be wearing a decrepit dress. After leaving Tingyuxuan, he was not very respectful to meet people in his declining clothes, so he finally asked Xu to take charge of the matter, and replaced it with plain white clothes, and made various clothes, shoes and socks for the four seasons. Therefore, Ah Wei's white clothes are also low-key and luxurious, after all, they are all tribute clothes from Daqin, and the undyed fabrics test the texture and eyesight more.

The shopkeeper smiled and asked Ah Wei, "What does the little girl want to buy?"

Ah Wei looked up and said: "I want to rearrange the house, so there may be more things to buy, and they are more miscellaneous, is your store responsible for transporting?" Ah Wei remembered Wang Yuan's horse and a group of soldiers who came on foot, and let them carry the bed back, which is always not good-looking.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he knew that it must be a big business coming to his door, so he arched his hand and said: "It depends on the distance, if the girl buys a lot and the shipping is not far, the store can transport it for free; ”

Seeing this, Ah Wei smiled and said, "Not far away, it will be transported to the big ship by the sea." ”

"Feizhou?" The shopkeeper was shocked. What is the identity of this girl, and how could she enter the store alone? Speaking of Feizhou, she is a virgin on the ship? Could it be that she escaped alone and wanted to seek protection from their Mo family?

In line with the idea of both love and non-attack, their Mo family has produced many righteous people. Debate ink, gongmo, chivalrous ink, but the outside world's perception of the Mo family has gradually deviated, always thinking that only the ink man who fights the sword is the person in the ink gate.

With the idea of adapting to all changes with the same, the shopkeeper took a deep breath and said, "That can be transported for the girl for free." ”

Ah Wei nodded and said, "Then I don't have to go to another house to see it, I'll buy it from you." ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "It's not that I'm boasting, there is probably no carpentry on the whole street that is better than me." ”

Hearing the shopkeeper mention woodwork, a flash of inspiration flashed in Ah Wei's mind. Then she stared at the shopkeeper in surprise, thinking to herself, Confucianism and Mo are called the world's leading scholars, but it is not an exaggeration to the point that the shopkeeper of an inconspicuous woodwork shop in this Langya town is a person from Momen, right?

The historian of Awei Xi is very clear about the origin of each sect and lineage. Just like the Mo family, although the reputation of the Xia Mo line has become more famous recently, when it comes to inheriting ideas and crafts, we still have to argue about ink and gongmo. The former is engaged in the discussion and debate of the Mo family, and is in charge of the Mo family's thoughts, rules, and main rewards and punishments; the latter inherits all kinds of craftsman skills, food, clothing, housing and transportation, all of which are inseparable from the Mo family's craftsmanship. And the wooden life is even more special in the Momen, it is said that they have inherited the ancient mechanism in their hands.

The shopkeeper seemed to be startled when he saw his words, and he just looked at her and laughed. But I know in my heart that this girl is only afraid that she is really here to buy something. Anyway, he didn't come to ask for refuge, and he didn't want to cause himself more trouble. After all, he is just Gongmo, his task is more to inherit the craft and research new crafts, and he is not Xia Mo who can kill the Quartet at every turn, if Ah Wei really came to ask for help today, he can only find a way to transfer her away, and then hand it over to Xia Mo to protect.

Ah Wei came to her senses, and hurriedly bowed to the shopkeeper and said: "The little woman is clumsy, she doesn't know that the shopkeeper is from the ink gate, and she is disrespectful. ”

The shopkeeper was stunned when he saw that Ah Wei suddenly opened his mouth and revealed his identity.

The shopkeeper decisively refused to admit the account, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "What kind of person is in the ink gate? I'm just a shopkeeper who can do wooden work and open the door to eat." ”

Ah Wan saw that he didn't admit it, and he didn't expose it. The horizontal and vertical Mojia sent people here, and it always has its deep meaning. Her Shi family has nothing to do with the Mo family, and she only came here today to buy something, and it was an accident to recognize him.

It was a smile that said: "Since you are open for business, then the shopkeeper still doesn't lead me to see the goods?"

The shopkeeper smiled: "I don't know what the girl wants to buy." ”

Ah Wan thought for a while, and then said: "First of all, I want to buy a bed, preferably higher, and the gap between the bed and the ground should preferably accommodate the height of a box." "The cabins on the boat were so small, she still had to make the most of the space.

The shopkeeper smiled: "The girl is not a local, the bed is small elsewhere, and the local bed is definitely suitable." ”

Ah Wan looked up suspiciously.

The shopkeeper said: "Langya is near the sea, because the ground is mostly easy to get damp, and people are easy to get sick when they live in a damp place for a long time, so most of the beds here are relatively high. As long as the girl's wooden box is not particularly high, it should be easy to accommodate. ”

Ah Wei also felt very fortunate when she heard this, so that she could sleep in a satisfactory bed tonight, and she didn't have to wait for the construction period. It was Yi Ah who said, "Then take me to see the bed first." ”

The shopkeeper called, and a young apprentice came in through the back door. The shopkeeper instructed him to look at the store, and then said to Ah Wei: "The bed is large, and the store is not suitable for storage, so it is all placed in the backyard room, girl, please come with me." ”

If it is another store, Ah Wei may hesitate to say this. But the other party is a person from Momen, and Ah Wei is not afraid, so he said: "The shopkeeper is tired to lead the way." ”

When Ah Wei saw the beautifully made wooden beds, she was more and more sure that this person was Gongmo, and he was also the kind with a higher level and better inheritance in Gongmo.

After choosing a bed about the width of two wooden boxes, Ah Wei said to the shopkeeper, "That's it." ”

The shopkeeper nodded, and then made a small mark with ink.

After marking, the shopkeeper asked, "But what else do you want to buy?"

"A suitable table, a shelf for bronze vessels, a shelf for toiletries, and some hooks for nailing the wall and hanging lamps. ”

Because of the style of the bed, the shopkeeper recommended two cases and shelves to Awei, and Awei believed in his vision and chose one of them.

After choosing the things, the two returned to the store with a smile and a smile.

The shopkeeper asked the junior apprentice to pour a glass of water for Ah Yao, and then picked up the calculation chip and walked to Ah Yao's side and said, "Since the girl has been selected, why don't we sit down and talk about the price?"

Ah Wei nodded, sat down opposite the shopkeeper, took the water handed by the junior apprentice, and thanked him.

The apprentice handed the water, and then stood behind the shopkeeper in a regular manner, and after the shopkeeper sat down, he coughed before saying: "Although you are only a teenage girl, the business of this store is absolutely innocent." ”

Ah Wan nodded, the business of the Mo family should be like this.
