058 Cooperative business, shopping(1/2)
The shopkeeper of the pharmacy shop is a careful person. He saw at a glance that the two were unmarried couples, and they both felt sorry for each other and didn't want each other to spend money.
But he hoped that both parties would pay, so he deliberately said with a face, "I have pushed the price so low. You only bought half a pound per pound. Isn't I losing a lot? I bought more and I will still have six cents per pound! You buy more, I will make a small profit but I can make a few more money. Why not, buy one and a half pound. If I buy less and I will sell it back, you will not be able to buy such a low price again."
The shopkeeper's words are like a remark that I think about for you.
Lin Yuan wanted to buy more, but was embarrassed to spend Lu Ziyi's money. After all, she had not married him.
But if Lu Ziyi doesn't let him pay, he will be in a bad mood.
Forget it, when she gets her eighteen taels of silver, she will pull a few feet of cloth for Lu Ziyi and make more decent clothes.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Then buy more." She gave her four hundred documents and the seven hundred documents of Lu Ziyi to the shopkeeper, "I bought all the money."
"Haole, weigh one and a half pound plus seven cents of coated gel." The shopkeeper hurriedly greeted the guy.
...
Lu Ziyi sent Lin Yuan back to Qi's house, but he went to Jin Mansion to serve as a service.
Old Lady Qi was drying tea in the yard. When she saw Lin Yuan coming back, she asked, "Miss Ayuan, this wood carving is about to dry. When will you paint the color?" She was very worried that her old man would be punished.
"I found the materials and it will start tomorrow morning." Lin Yuan smiled at a bag of lac in his arms.
That's not called brushing the color, that's called brushing the glue. Once the glue is on, the color of the wood carving will immediately become shiny and will be slightly darker.
After entering the house, Lin Yuan poured the shellac on the small table and began to choose.
If you want the glue to be bright, there will be no defective products or residues.
By the evening, Lu Ziyi came back.
At this time, Lin Yuan was holding sandpaper and tidying up the wood carvings.
Lu Ziyi put a heavy purse on the table and said, "Give it to Ayuan."
"What is this?" Lin Yuan asked hurriedly.
Lu Ziyi said, "The errands in the Jin Mansion have been completed. This is the wages paid. Yesterday I paid 500 entries, and here is 1,000 entries."
Lin Yuan asked in confusion, "Why give me money?"
Lu Ziyi smiled slightly, "You have no money in your pocket, right? Use it."
Lin Yuan was embarrassed, but he didn’t have any money anymore? He bought all the money he had on his body in the morning.
The wood carvings have not been done well, and the wages of 18 taels have not been obtained yet.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lu Ziyi said again, "I guess you still need to buy materials for your wood carving. Without capital, how can you make money?"
Lin Yuan felt warm in his heart. Is this man looking at her?
Why do you always think what she thinks?
Lin Yuan frowned, "Oh, I really have to buy other materials."
"So, take the money." Lu Ziyi said, and was worried that Lin Yuan would be embarrassed and stuffed the money bag into her hand. "You are my future wife, and it is worthwhile that you should keep my money in charge."
Lin Yuan pursed his lips and smiled, "Okay, then I'll accept it."
She will definitely let the money make a lot of small money come out!
...
The varnish painted on the outer layer of wood carving is a liquid of lac.
Melt the shellac into varnish and dilute it with alcohol.
In this era, people drank low-alcohol rice wine, no high-alcohol liquor, let alone alcohol.
Lin Yuan had to extract alcohol by himself.
She bought twenty-five kilograms of low-alcohol rice wine and distilled it in a ceramic jar.
Lu Ziyi couldn't understand why she kept cooking the wine on the stove, but she didn't object, but helped to add firewood.
The two of them were in Old Man Qi's kitchen until early the next morning.
When Lu Ziyi saw Lin Yuan looking at the "white water" in the bowl, he asked happily, "Ayuan, is this what you mean by 'alcohol'? Isn't this wine?"
Lin Yuan nodded, "Yes. You can't drink this kind of wine, you will get poisoned if you drink it."
"Poisoned?" Lu Ziyi was surprised, "Because the wine was too strong?"
"Well, you can only use it, not drink it." Lin Yuan said cautiously.
As the degree was almost the same, Lin Yuan began to dilute the coat.
When the sun rose, Lin Yuan began to paint the wood carvings.
At this time, Lu Ziyi couldn't help anymore, so he turned around and went to the kitchen to make breakfast for Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan had just painted half of his face for the birthday star woodcarving. As soon as he looked up, he saw Lu Ziyi bringing her breakfast into the house.
This guy!
She shook her head funny.
...
On the day when the wood carving was glued, Linyuan never left the house except for the thatched cottage, because the glue was done in one go, otherwise the color would be of layer.
Old Man Qi and Old Mrs. Qi even entered the house from time to time to see the situation.
I was busy until the afternoon before Lin Yuan finished brushing the glue.
Looking at the wood carvings that could not see any flaws, Old Man Qi and Old Mrs. Qi were relieved.
And this day is only April fifteenth.
The wood carvings hung for a long time and one night. Early in the morning of April 16, Old Man Qi called a servant and transported the wood carvings to the Jin Mansion.
At noon, he came back excitedly.
When Lin Yuan saw him smiling, he knew that her work had passed.
Sure enough, Old Man Qi said that Young Master Jin did not realize that the wood carving was not the original wood carving, and he praised him for his good custody.
Lu Ziyi said, "Dad Qi, Ayuan's task has been completed, you should pay the wages, right?"
Old Man Qi nodded cheerfully, "Of course."
Eighteen taels of money.
Besides, he knows a lot of people!
"Sure, then that's all. At that time, I'll go to Xiushui Village, Jinzhu Township to find you."
"Okay, then let's just agree." Lin Yuan nodded with a smile.
...
After leaving Qi's family, Lin Yuan found that today's sky was particularly blue and she was in a particularly good mood.
"Brother Lu, I finally got no more busy today. Let's go out for a walk? After half a month, I have to bring some gifts home to make it decent." Lin Yuan smiled.
If you give money to Lu Ziyi, he will definitely not accept it. It would be better to buy more practical items for his house.
In addition, I will grab a few good tonics for Mrs. Lin to bring them back, buy some books for Lin Zhi, buy a good pipe for Lin Dazhu, and Lin Cui’s gift is a pair of shoes.
Lu Ziyi knew that she had been in the house for half a month and must have been in a panic, so she nodded, "Okay."
At that moment, the two packed their luggage and left Old Man Qi's home.
Walk out of the alley and turn the corner and you will see the street.
Finally, I had time to take a good look at the county town. Lin Yuan looked curiously at the left and the right.
Although Fenggu County is a small county town, because it was early in the morning, many villagers went to the city to buy or sell goods, which was very lively.
Before I knew it, I walked to a big mansion.
On the large plaque on the lintel, there is a huge gold-hot word "Jinfu".
Lin Yuan only took a look and walked over.
But Lu Ziyi stopped, squinted his eyes and looked at the mansion.
At the gate of the mansion, two men came out of it, one young man and the other middle-aged man met two men in the alley that night, talking about the death of the crown prince.
The two of them got on the carriage one after another, and within a while, the carriage left.
Lin Yuan took two steps and didn't see Lu Ziyi following him, so he looked back and found that he was in a daze at the door of the Jin Mansion, and shouted, "Brother Lu, what's wrong?"
Lu Ziyi came to his senses and smiled, "It's nothing. I saw an acquaintance who worked as a short-term worker a few days ago. He waved to me."
He caught up with Lin Yuan's footsteps, "Where are we going first?"
"Go to the bull market, let's go and see the bulls. Do you know where there are people selling bulls in the county?" Lin Yuan looked up at Lu Ziyi.
She wants to give a cow to the Lu family.
Lu Ziyi nodded, "I know, the market is not far from here."
"Okay, let's go quickly!" Lin Yuan smiled.
To be continued...
