The shopkeeper smiled when he saw it, and explained: "Little lady, look at the carvings on this bracelet. These are all carved out by master craftsmen with one knife and one knife, and the gold powder carved out is loss, so the loss of this idea and the craftsmanship It’s not expensive anymore, if you go to other states and counties, the asking price of other silver buildings will only be higher than ours, not lower than ours.”
Man Bao first put down the gold bracelet and asked, "I still want to see the silver bracelet."
The shopkeeper didn't mind, thinking that she wanted to exchange gold for silver, so he asked the clerk to bring up two sets of silver bracelets.
Man Bao and the others carefully picked them up. She felt that every sister-in-law's bracelets were different, otherwise what if they got mixed up and didn't know each other
If you add the elder sister's, you have to buy four. If you accidentally mix the two together, you won't be able to tell them apart.
So she picked it up carefully.
Erya, Sanya, and Sitou had the right to speak, because they bought something for their mother, so they pushed away the elder sister who had given advice on choosing the bracelet, and surrounded the younger sister tightly.
Zhou Zhoulang also came up to take a look. He first chose a plum-shaped bracelet, picked it up and handed it to Man Bao, saying, "Your fourth sister-in-law likes this, really, I won't lie to you."
After all, it was his wife, and Man Bao decided to listen to him, so he took it and put it aside, and then chose for the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law.
The price of the silver bracelets was much cheaper. After Man Bao asked the price, he found out that the four bracelets she chose only cost a little more than two taels.
She was very curious, "My father also bought a bracelet here last time, why did it cost three, two or seven hundred Wen?"
"your dad?"
Man Bao nodded.
The shopkeeper looked at Man Bao's face and was silent for a while, then went to look at Zhou Zhou Lang and Wu Wu Lang, and finally remembered something after sliding over the faces of their children one by one, "It was about after the Dragon Boat Festival. A bracelet costs three to two to seven hundred coins. I remember it was bought by an old man. In fact, he has visited it several times... "
Man Bao nodded almost without thinking, "Yes, yes, that's my father."
The shopkeeper looked at them, his heart arose, and he said, "His bracelet is a little more expensive, that's because it's heavier..."
"It's obviously very detailed."
The shopkeeper said: "This is where the craftsmanship is difficult, so it is more expensive than other silver bracelets."
The old Zhou's family couldn't help thinking, father (grandfather), does he know this
Could it be that he subconsciously felt that the bracelet was the cheapest because of its thinness
Seeing them quiet down strangely, the shopkeeper raised his heart even higher, wouldn't they also want to...
Just thinking about it, Zhou Zhoulang looked at Man Bao, "Have you chosen?"
Man Bao nodded.
Zhou Zhoulang stepped forward with a grin, took Man Bao's place, and said with a smile on his face: "Shopkeeper, you see we bought so many things, can you count us as cheaper?"
Shopkeeper: ... He knew it!
That's what their father did back then, he had to haggle for three days just to buy a bracelet.
The shopkeeper took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile and said: "Young master, young lady, these prices are fixed, if I can reduce it, I will definitely reduce it, but..."
Seeing the change in Zhou Zhoulang's expression, he hurriedly said: "Although the price is not less, I can give you some things."
Man Bao asked curiously, "What?"
Shu Lang who wants to continue bargaining.
The shopkeeper immediately asked the waiter to bring up a small tray, which contained many beautiful little things, such as pearl flowers that can be worn on the head, or small earrings.
The earrings are basically silver, but they have to be pearl flowers in terms of beauty, and the girls in their family don't have pierced ears.
So everyone went to see Zhuhua together.
Zhou Zhoulang asked, "How many pairs did you give away? Do all of us present have them?"
The shopkeeper: "...Young Master, you are joking, there are four young ladies here, so I will just give you four pairs of earrings or four pairs of pearl flowers."
The big girls' eyes sparkled when they heard this.
Seeing that they liked it, Man Bao waved his little hand and said, "Buy!"
The three little girls cheered in a low voice, and went up to choose.
There is no girl who does not love beauty, even Man Bao picked several pearl flowers to wear on her head, and then asked them if they were good-looking
Of course, the people from the old Zhou family would nod and say it looks good, and the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper just stood aside and looked at it with a smile.
Although the four young ladies were very excited, they were also very educated. They did not scatter the trinkets in the tray, but took a pair to try on first, and then took the next pair.
So the shopkeeper was smiling all the time.
The speed of their selection was not slow, and soon the four of them chose the pearl flower that they liked the most and was recognized by the other party, so Man Bao stopped bargaining, and waved his little hand: "Pay the bill."
The guys on the side were all dumbfounded, thinking that the shopkeeper is so powerful that he can recognize local tyrants with his eyes.
Although their place is a silver building, Luojiang County is so big that the number of daily guests is very limited.
It's not uncommon for customers like Manbao and the others to buy several pieces at a time. He has seen people who are more heroic than her, but he has never seen a heroic person wearing old washed cotton and linen clothes, bringing brothers, nephews, etc. They were all linen clothes with patches.
It wasn't until Man Bao took out three ingots of silver and three strings of copper coins from his cloth bag that he was sure that he was really rich.
The shopkeeper took the money with a smile, and wrapped the gold and silver bracelets they checked in boxes one by one.
Because of her boldness, the shopkeeper specially gave her a pair of pearl flowers.
A total of twenty-five, two, three hundred cash, this day's turnover is enough for him to close the door and go home for dinner, no wonder he is unhappy.
Zhou Zhou Lang wrapped these boxes with a piece of cloth and tied them on his chest. He was also very happy. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go to the cloth village!"
"Fourth brother, do you want to buy fabric for sister-in-law?"
"No, I won't buy it for your sister-in-law, I'll buy it for your nephew," Zhou Zhoulang said, "Your nephew has to prepare winter clothes, buy him some thick and soft clothes."
Man Bao: "...I really want to tell my sister-in-law."
Zhou Zhoulang: "Don't talk too much, or if we quarrel later, it will all be due to you."
Everyone was chatting and laughing as they walked towards Buzhuang, but after walking a short distance, they saw a lot of people surrounded in front of them, and there were loud scolding voices.
Before Thursday Lang could speak, Saturday Lang squeezed in with a few younger ones to watch the fun.
Zhou Zhoulang grumbled, hugged the things in his arms tightly with one hand, and took Man Bao's hand with the other, and asked Lao Wu to look after Sitou and Sanya, and squeezed in too.
Surrounded by a grocery store, Zhou Zhoulang knew that they used to come here to buy things often, and their goods were good, but the prices were higher than other grocery stores.
Therefore, the old Zhou family who likes cheap goods rarely come here unless there are some special things.
I saw a group of very familiar strong men beating on the counter with wooden sticks, and the leader said: "I won't make things difficult for you, your young master lost to our gambling house in this shop, so you have to move as well." , if you don’t move, you have to move.”
