Although Lao Zhoutou asked to buy a lot of things, they were all groceries, and they were basically concentrated in those three or four shops, and coincidentally, those three or four shops were not far from each other.
Originally, vegetable seeds, pots and other things are sold in grocery stores, and there is no shortage of needles and threads.
So Thursday Lang and Friday Lang carried their backpacks and took them directly to half a street of groceries, picked out the things that Dad needed, and then bargained.
Zhou Zhoulang was really good at bargaining. After gathering the things together, he came and went with the shopkeeper a few times, and then he cut down eight coins.
Don't look at the eight coins first, the grocery stores are all small businesses, basically they are small profits but quick turnover, and there are already a lot of eight coins.
Zhou Zhoulang is very satisfied, and Man Bao is also very satisfied.
Everyone put their things in the baskets and carried them back to the ox cart, handed them over to Zhou Zhoulang to take care of them, and went shopping happily.
Zhou Zhoulang touched his purse, and said to Man Bao, "I'm going to buy something for your fourth sister-in-law, let's go to cloth village."
"No, I'm going to the Silver House, you can go by yourself."
Zhou Zhoulang was taken aback, and asked, "What are you doing in the silver building? Exchange copper coins?"
"No, I'm going to buy a bracelet." Man Bao said, "I want to buy a big bracelet for my mother and sister-in-law, and it must be gold."
"What about the second sister-in-law?"
"They give money."
Zhou Zhoulang: "... your bowl of water is not level."
Man Bao thought for a while and said, "I'm not in charge of the family, so what does it matter if I'm not in order?"
So Zhou Zhoulang didn't go to the cloth village anymore, and followed them to the silver building to join in the fun.
The main reason is that this is a big item, and he is very afraid that Manbao will suffer a loss.
He glanced at Man Bao's cloth bag and asked, "How much silver did you bring?"
Man Bao touched the cloth bag and said, "A lot."
A group of people from the old Zhou's family rushed into the silver building, frightening the customers and staff inside.
The main reason was that there were too many people coming in, and their clothes didn't look like they could afford jewelry, but they didn't look weak, nor did they look like they were here to make trouble.
The clerk froze in place for a moment, and the shopkeeper gave him a dark look and asked him to receive his guests, but he smiled and went up to him, looking at Zhou Lang, who seemed to be able to make decisions, and asked, "What do the guests want?"
Man Bao, who was standing beside Zhou Zhou Lang, said with sparkling eyes: "Bracelet!"
Only then did the shopkeeper look down at Man Bao, and asked with a smile, "What kind of bracelet does the lady want?"
Man Bao had already passed him to look at the tray on the counter, and there were neatly arranged golden bracelets inside.
Man Bao let out a secret exclamation, and stepped forward to look.
The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said: "This is a gold bracelet, and there are various styles."
"Is it pure gold?"
"It's natural. Our silver house has been in business in Luojiang County for decades. The guest officials can rest assured that there are also gold-plated jewelry, but it's just this plate."
Man Bao took a look and found that the gilt ones seemed to look better than the pure gold ones.
She couldn't help reaching out to touch it, and looked at Zhou Zhoulang and the others.
They also looked at it in amazement, "It seems that the gilded ones are better than the pure gold ones."
Man Bao resolutely turned his head to look at the pure gold bracelet, and said: "But the value is not as good as it is. This is the gold and jade that have lost their beauty."
Shopkeeper's:...
The old Zhou family had a kind of blind trust in Man Bao. When she said this, everyone stopped looking at the gold-plated bracelet and gathered around to look at the pure gold bracelet.
The shopkeeper took a look, and immediately handed over the tray to the guy beside him to take it away.
Man Bao stretched out his chubby hand, turned to ask the shopkeeper, "Can I try it on?"
The shopkeeper smiled, nodded and said: "Of course, you can choose whichever one you like."
Man Bao had long memorized the appearance of the silver bracelet in her mother's hand, so she followed the pattern to look for it, but after searching a tray, she couldn't find the same one, but she saw several pretty ones.
At least Man Bao thinks it looks better than the one chosen by Dad.
She struggled.
Zhou Zhoulang urged her, "Hurry up, what do you want?"
The shopkeeper gave Zhou Zhou Lang a grateful look.
Man Bao said: "Mother and sister-in-law both like the style chosen by Dad."
"Pull it down, dad's eyes..." Zhou Zhou Lang thought for a while, and felt that his dad's choice was okay, so he changed his mind and said: "Don't talk about mother and sister-in-law, even I like it, I like everything in silver, you are Give me a lump and I'd be so happy."
Zhou Zhoulang said: "So the important thing is not the style, but that it is silver, and it is still a bracelet that can be worn on the hand."
"Is that so?" Man Bao couldn't help but look at Zhou Wulang and the others.
Everyone nodded together, obviously agreeing with Zhou Zhoulang's words.
Man Bao was gearing up and said: "Then I have to choose carefully, this is the first time I buy something for my mother and sister-in-law."
"Hey, isn't it the first time you sent the flowers last time?"
Man Bao said: "That time doesn't count."
"Well, I hope you will say that this time is not counted next time."
The shopkeeper understood now that the bracelet the young lady picked was not for herself, but for her family.
He was even happier, so he said: "Little lady, I still have a nice set of gold bracelets, may I bring you a look?"
Generally speaking, if you buy jewelry for yourself, you may not decide not to buy it after looking at it, but when you buy jewelry for others, you will definitely buy it under normal circumstances.
Two sets of gold bracelets were placed in front of Man Bao, and Da Ya, Er Ya, and San Ya stepped forward to help the younger sister choose. With the joint efforts of the four girls, Man Bao finally chose two gold bracelets out of dozens of gold bracelets. A good-looking one that everyone agrees on.
Then she tried it with her little fat hand.
Although it is a chubby hand, but she is not very old, it is different from an adult's hand.
Man Bao looked left and right, and finally dragged Zhou Wulang up to try it on.
Friday Lang: ...
Shopkeeper's:...
In fact, except for very fat people, basically everyone can wear these bracelets.
Man Bao put the bracelet into Wu Lang's hand and asked everyone, "Is it pretty?"
Everyone nodded together: "It looks good!"
It's shiny, yellow and orange, but it's so pretty, I just want to take a bite when I look at it.
Wu Wulang also looked at it seriously, nodded and said, "I think it looks good too."
Man Bao asked the shopkeeper, "How much is this bracelet?"
The shopkeeper smiled, "Then I have to weigh them."
The shopkeeper took the small scale and weighed the bracelets for them, "This one weighs six cents, and this one weighs five cents and five cents. Counting the manual work and loss, this one costs eight taels, and this one costs seven, two, and three hundred dollars."
Everyone is speechless, this is too expensive.
Zhou Zhou Lang counted with his fingers, leaned into Man Bao's ear and said, "Man Bao, isn't six taels of gold only six taels of silver?"
Man Bao nodded, that's right, so she also felt that their handwork was very expensive.
