The shopkeeper looked in the direction Chen Wanbai pointed and saw that what she was interested in was a small copper stove. The design of the hand stove is simple, with several plum blossom patterns engraved on the surface. It is small and exquisite, and is suitable for carrying around in winter to warm your hands.
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "This is a copper stove made by craftsmen in our county. It is of high quality and takes a long time to burn charcoal. The price is three hundred and fifty yuan."
Chen Wanbai I picked up the hand stove and looked at it carefully. I felt that the weight was appropriate and the workmanship was very fine. I learned from Lao Zhengtou before that the selling price of copper is one hundred and fifty cents per catty. Although this hand stove does not weigh a pound, the workmanship is there. Three hundred and fifty essays is indeed fair.
So, she didn’t counter-offer, nodded and said: "Okay, let’s take this."
Seeing that she was satisfied, the shopkeeper immediately turned around and quickly went to take out one from under the counter. The hand stove was carefully wrapped in a cloth bag and handed to Chen Wanbai.
Chen Wanbai took the stove, returned to the seasoning area, pointed at the salt and said, "Shopkeeper, please weigh ten pounds of salt for me."
The shopkeeper nodded in agreement and quickly Take the scale and weigh the salt. After packing the salt, he put it in a cloth bag and placed it on the counter. Seeing Chen Wanbai's appearance, he probably wanted to buy something, so he followed behind with a smile.
"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this bean paste?"
The shopkeeper took a look and replied: "There are three kilograms of bean paste in this jar, and one kilogram costs fifteen cents. Add the jar "Twenty cents together."
Chen Wanbai nodded: "Bring me two jars."
The shopkeeper quickly tied them up with straw ropes and placed them on the counter. Down.
"Brother, what else do you want to buy?"
Chen Wanbai thought for a moment and remembered that the lamp oil at home was almost running out, so he asked, "Is there any better lamp oil?"
The shopkeeper took Chen Wanbai to another shelf: "I have ordinary lamp oil here, as well as sesame oil, rapeseed oil, sesame oil, soybean oil, tung oil, tallow oil, lard... These can all be used to light lamps."
Chen Wanbai thought that the lard used at home was relatively expensive, and the smoke was very smelly. When he got up at night, he would easily become addicted to pigs due to the smell.
But the brightness is indeed higher, but they don’t need to do anything at home at night, as long as they can get up at night and light up the road under their feet.
"How much are these prices?"
"Ordinary lamp oil is 48 cents per catty, sesame oil is 50 cents per catty, rapeseed oil is 45 cents per catty, and sesame oil is 3 cents. Ten coins per catty, soybean oil forty coins per catty, tung oil for one hundred and seventy coins per catty, tallow oil for three hundred coins per catty, and lard forty-five coins per catty."
The shopkeeper said in one breath. After checking the price, he breathed a sigh of relief and continued: "If you want to light a lamp, the best one is tallow oil. It smokes less and the lamp is brighter, but this oil is a bit more expensive. Brother, you can look at rapeseed oil, which is cheaper. The effect is second only to tallow tree oil. ”
Chen Wanbai nodded and thought. The price of rapeseed oil in the town was fifty cents per catty, but the price here was five cents less. As for the lard, her craft can only extract 60% of the oil, and a pound of lard costs thirty-five cents. The lard here costs forty-five cents per pound, which is obviously more cost-effective. 1
"I weigh ten kilograms each of rapeseed oil, sesame oil, and lard." She planned to buy some first and go back to try them out to compare the quality with those in town.
The shopkeeper agreed with a smile: "Brother, if you buy more, this jar costs seven or eight cents at least, so I will give it to you."
He While talking, he busily began to weigh and install the altar.
Chen Wanbai thanked him and saw that the shopkeeper was busy, so he looked at it again.
This grocery store is much larger than the ones in the town. It is not only spacious, but also has a complete range of categories. Even half of the shop is much larger than the two-bay ones in the town, making it appear deep and spacious.

"Hey! Shopkeeper, why are you weighing things here? Where did Brother Shunzi go?" An anxious voice came along with rapid footsteps, breaking the tranquility in the store.
Chen Wanbai glanced curiously and saw a thin figure rushing into the store in a hurry, reaching for the grease spoon in the shopkeeper's hand.
As soon as the shopkeeper heard this voice, he immediately put down his work, turned around, glared, and cursed loudly: "Baodan, you damn boy! Does it take you so long to shit?" I thought you couldn't get out of the pit!"
Mao Dan scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled: "Hey, shopkeeper, I think something has delayed you. Brother Shunzi is here, it’s okay if I come back later.”
“Shunzi also said he was going to have a poop, where did you two go to eat delicious food last night?”
p>
Mao Dan waved his hands quickly: "I didn't see Brother Shunzi!"
"Hey, you two are just lazy, right? Wage deductions!"
"Shopkeeper, no, please listen to my quibbles." Mao Dan quickly pulled the shopkeeper's sleeve, "On the way back from the hut, didn't I have to pass by the door of Wu Mansion?"
"Passing by. The Wu Mansion has nothing to do with whether you come back or not!" The shopkeeper glared.
"There are many people surrounding the side entrance of Wu Mansion, blocking the road." Mao Dan said while gesticulating.
"You won't squeeze out if it's blocked?" the shopkeeper said angrily.
"I thought so too, but I squeezed and didn't squeeze out. Instead, I squeezed to the door. You don't know, there is a big drama going on there, and I How can I be willing to leave?" Mao Dan's eyes were shining with excitement.
"Hey! Good boy, don't call me when there's a lot of excitement." The shopkeeper suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted angrily, "No wonder Shunzi didn't come back either. His feelings were just for the fun of it.", are you all worthy of me? "
Rich families are usually very concerned about their appearance and hide everything. It is rare to see their liveliness on weekdays. This opportunity is rare.
Imagine the liveliness In this scene, the shopkeeper was so angry that these two guys didn't call him when they had something good to do.
"Isn't this why I came back to call you. "Maodan said quickly.
"Okay, there are guests here, you entertain them first, and I'll go take a look. "After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he ran away with an anxious look, for fear that he would be late and miss the wonderful show.
But after running for two steps, the shopkeeper came back again and asked eagerly : "Maodan, what happened before? Don't understand anything I didn't understand in the past. ”
“The young master of the Wu family was caught sleeping with a woman at home, and was caught by his dominatrix. "Maodan is very good at summarizing, and he said the key point in one sentence.
"I know, I know, it's just about the thing in the crotch, right? I'm leaving, you entertain the guests. "
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he ran away again, at an astonishing speed, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"Hey, I didn't say what the customer wanted. " Mao Dan muttered quietly as he looked at the shopkeeper's missing figure.
"Sir, what did you want just now? "Maodan could only look at Chen Wanbai, the only customer in the store, and asked sheepishly.
Chen Wanbai told her what she needed to buy again, and Maodan's men quickly loaded the oil for her.
