The unlucky guy was reborn as a lucky girl from a farm

The shopkeeper patted the third brother on the shoulder.

"I mean what I said. This jar is for you."

"With your method, I can get more fish into the tank. Thanks to you. If I hadn't met you today, I wouldn't have done this losing business in the future."

The third brother was dumbfounded, thinking he was just joking, he didn't expect he was really going to give it as a gift. A jar is not cheap, especially something of such good quality.

He waved his hands again and again, "I can't take it for free. I'll give you whatever amount you want."

The shopkeeper pressed down the third brother's waving hand.

"You didn't ask for it in vain. You even taught me how to make a rope buckle. It's much more valuable than the jar."

As he said that, he was about to take the third child out.

"You are really my good brother. Come on, I will treat you to a meal and a drink."

The third brother had never seen such a person before. After just a few words, he became as close to him as his own brother. Without saying a word, he invited him to dinner and gave him free things.

Thinking of my eldest and second brothers, who only had things given to them but were still greedy and had no conscience, like a bottomless pit, my heart ached. How could there be such family members who were not even as good as a stranger I had only met once?

"I really can't. I have to go home quickly. My family is treating us to lunch at noon."

The shopkeeper was a little reluctant to let go. He usually liked to be lively and chat with others. After finally finding someone he liked so much, he had to let go.

"Well, since you have something to do, I won't keep you here. Take the jar with you."

No matter how much I refused, I couldn't resist the shopkeeper's enthusiasm. The shopkeeper, who seemed to have no strength of his own, insisted on putting the jar on the donkey cart. I was really afraid that if he let go of it, the jar would be broken, so I decided to do it myself.

It had just been tied up with a rope, so I carried it on my back and walked a few steps to the donkey cart, then slowly put it down, found a good position, and secured it.

The third brother originally wanted to stuff the money into his hand and drive the donkey cart away quickly, but when he saw the shopkeeper's reluctant look, he felt that doing so might hurt his feelings.

But he felt uncomfortable if he didn't pay. After thinking about it, he took out two taels of silver, held it in his hand, and started the donkey cart. He turned around and said, "Go ahead."

An object shining with silver light flashed before the shopkeeper's eyes. He stretched out his hand and the object fell right into his palm. It turned out to be silver.

What a person! He insisted on giving money even though it was not asked for.

He followed the donkey cart for a few steps.

The third brother thought that he was going to return the money to him, so he was so scared that he told the donkey to run away quickly.

"Next time you are free, be sure to ask me out for a drink."

It turned out to be this matter. He turned around and replied, "Okay~"

As I walked forward, I saw someone selling lamps on the roadside, so I stopped my donkey cart.

"Boss, do you have a lamp that saves fuel and doesn't burn my eyes?"

The man came out from behind the stall and came in front of the third brother.

"I have indeed heard of it, but I don't have any here. They are all ordinary oil lamps. The craftsmanship you mentioned is more complicated, and it is much more expensive."

He turned around, moved out of the way, and ran four fingers across the front of the stall.

"Why don't you take a look at mine? They're used by ordinary people like us. This one is pretty good. Many people buy it."

No matter how many people buy it or how cheap it is, I can’t accept it.

Ni'er said she wanted that kind, so we can't just give her a perfunctory treatment and just give her one.

The third brother cupped his hands and said, "Boss, can you tell me where else I can buy lamps?"

Seeing that he couldn't convince him, the shopkeeper pointed in a direction and said, "Go along this road, turn left at the first fork, and you will see a relatively large lighting shop."

"Thanks for letting me know."

As he spoke, he drove his donkey cart away and indeed saw a shop that was several times larger than the one he had just seen.

When you go in, you will be dazzled by the various types of lamps, including flying dragon candlesticks, seagull candlesticks, melon-shaped glass lamps... and many others that I can't even name.

If I had time, I would really like to take a good look at what is available here and broaden my horizons.

Helpless, I had to rush back and had to call the shopkeeper.

"Boss, do you have a lamp here that is fuel-efficient and doesn't choke people?"

The man stood up from behind the counter and looked at the third brother. Although he was dressed simply, there was not a single patch on his body.

There is a donkey cart parked outside, but I don’t know if it belongs to him. If it does, then he is someone who can afford it.

"I actually have one here. A goose and fish bronze lamp just came in a few days ago."

As he spoke, he led the person to the lamp. The shape was very exquisite. It was a wild goose with its head turned back to hold a fish. The fish was right above the goose's belly, and everything inside was connected.

When the third brother saw this thing, he wondered in his heart what kind of skilled craftsman made it. It was such a creative idea. He wondered how much it would sell for.

"How do I use this?"

The shopkeeper turned the fish body away, and the third brother stared at it. It turned out that was where the lamp oil was stored.

"You see, after it is lit here, the smoke will go from the goose's neck to its abdomen."

"The abdomen of the wild goose can be filled with water, which not only cools down the smoke and reduces the choking smell, but it is also what you call a fuel-efficient lamp. With the same amount of oil, this lamp can stay lit for a much longer time."

Isn’t this what Nier has been longing for? If we bring this back, they will be so happy.

I just don’t know the price. If it’s too expensive, I won’t be able to afford it.

The shopkeeper looked at the third brother's expression, which was somewhat happy yet somewhat uneasy, and knew that he might be hesitating about the price.

But something with such fine workmanship must not be cheap. However, it is a bit big. The table at home is only big enough for four people to dine. If I put it on the table, there might not be enough space for the plates and bowls.

If you put it somewhere else and then put it on the table when you need it, it will not be very convenient to move it around.

Yan Zi is pregnant, and it is quite dangerous for her to carry such a heavy object, and I can't be by her side all the time.

After much hesitation, I finally asked.

"how much is it?"

The shopkeeper was smiling. It seemed that there was hope of selling this thing. The two people before had left after asking the price. Maybe the bronze lamp was destined to be with these people.

"Sir, you have good taste. This only costs five taels of silver."

When the third brother heard the price, his eyes nearly popped out of his head in shock. He knew it was expensive, but he didn't expect it to be so expensive. His donkey cart only cost eight taels of silver, but a lamp cost five taels of silver.

"I think this thing is too big to fit in my house. Do you have something similar but smaller?"

The shopkeeper was somewhat reluctant, as he thought this item would be easy to sell, but in the end, he just asked without buying.

"There are small ones, but they are not the kind you want that is not choking. There will always be some smoke."

He took out a two-layer oil lamp, which looked like two small plates put together, with water in the lower layer and oil in the upper layer.

"If you put some good oil in this kind of stuff, it won't be so pungent. It's much cheaper, less than one or two taels of silver."
