The Pastoral Life of a Reborn Farmer

The shop owner silently turned his head and glanced at the pile of goods that Shen Ling had picked out. They were worth [-] Wen, and they didn't pay a single penny. They tossed them a lot. If he said no discount, maybe the two of them would transfer He just left and played tricks on them, but they couldn't make sense of it. After all, they were the ones who opened the door to do business, but they looked down on people who drove them first, and they didn't make sense when they said it.

If you give a discount!Although there is still some profit, but it has never been sold so low, and he feels unwilling...

"The store?" Shen Ling's eyes were indifferent, but there was a special insistence and mockery, and his mouth was very sincere.

The shop owner knew what this man meant by seeing Shen Ling's expression. As long as he said to raise the price again, maybe this man would really turn around and leave. After all, they offended others first, so they gritted their teeth and ate it. This loss, opening the door to do business is really better to be kind to people, this person looks a little extraordinary, different from ordinary country people, it is not bad to make a little less money to make a good relationship.

The shop owner nodded, gritted his teeth and made a distressed face, "I think my brother has a kind face, and he is generous and kind in his dealings with others. If I have a good relationship, it will be only [-] Wen! In the future, my brother will come to our store to buy things. We Give a similar discount, it's an apology, buddy, remember? When I come back in the future, I will just give the lowest price I can give without asking me."

"Yes." The buddy lowered his hands and obeyed. Isn't the lowest price he can give is the price he can agree to if the customer asks for a price? The boss's words seem so sincere. Price pulls to this location.

"Then thank you boss." Shen Ling arched his hands and said with a smile, but he couldn't see any joy. The shop owner became more and more vigilant, secretly thinking that this person is really extraordinary, whether he doesn't like such a small amount of money or is happy or angry Not being visible, or seeing through his little thoughts, are not comparable to ordinary farmers.

Thinking of this, the shop owner became more and more kind, his old face smiled like a morning glory.

After Shen Ling paid the bill, he said: "Our husband and wife have to go out to buy some other things. I wonder if we can store the quilt and clothes here for a while, and come to get them when we leave."

"Of course." The shop owner was worrying about not being able to get closer, so he hurriedly said, anyway, the money has already been paid, so he is not afraid of anything.

Shen Ling knew that this kind of store opened on the street, and usually would not renege on its debts, otherwise, who would dare to come here to buy things if the customers told them back?He can feel at ease by storing his things here, but he still has other thoughts, "Then why don't you ask the shopkeeper to write a receipt, although it's presumptuous, but it's still troublesome."

"Should be, should be." The shop owner was not upset because he was not trusted, and nodded directly, a piece of paper is not troublesome, but, is this person illiterate?

The shop owner turned around and took a piece of letter paper, took a pen and wrote a piece of evidence for temporary storage, and marked the date, and he could only pick it up today before handing it over to Shen Ling. Shen Ling took it over and took a look, relieved, As early as when Shen San wrote the cutting book for him, he had carefully observed the fonts here, and they were actually consistent with the traditional characters. Shen Ling also knew that this might be a different-dimensional time and space similar to the inheritance of ancient Chinese culture. Said it was another Huaxia, so that he could calmly say that he could read and write in the future.

Shen Ling took Han Shi away, and Han Shi breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the house for a long time. He seemed a little worried and wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.

"What's the matter?" Shen Ling asked, after thinking for a while, he added, "I hate that I spend too much money?" Ten taels of silver changed hands and nearly one tael was spent, which must be a waste in Han Shi's eyes!

Han Shi thought for a while, then shook his head, he can endure the cold, but Shen Ling is a patient!How can it be frozen?Thinking about it this way, I felt nothing.

Shen Ling and Han Shi continued to walk forward, and they came across a pork stall and bought some fat meat and cheap pork bones. Shen Ling hadn't seen You Xing for many years in the last days, and Han Shi was like this even when he was a child. Here Most people are more greedy when they see fat meat than lean meat. Shen Ling buys fat meat and Han Shi also agrees. As for the pork bones, Shen Ling told Han Shi that if children want to grow tall, they must drink more bone soup, and it tastes good .

Shen Ling spent another one hundred yuan to ask a carpenter to make a simple wooden bed, which is strong enough to lie on. Reluctantly agree.

Han Shi bought rice noodles, needlework, and Shen Ling spent a lot of money, which made Han Shi feel a little overwhelmed for a while, and bought some things that he didn't plan to buy.

The two of them brought a lot of things in big and small bags, and Shen Ling didn't let Han Shi support him anymore. It seemed that he really didn't see anyone who knew him in the town, so he just stopped pretending and found a Leaning on a wooden stick, pretending to be.

Han Shi carried a large bag of things on his back, and counted the change in his hand, but he could only count to ten. Han Shi put a small pile every time he counted to ten, and then put it away when he counted to ten. After several times, Shen Ling looked amused, but Han Shi suddenly froze, and murmured: "How many tens did I count?"

"Hahaha..." Shen Ling couldn't help laughing out loud, he had calculated the cost of each transaction in his head and knew how much it was, Han Shi was still dazed to count the money.

"A total of 170 four characters." Seeing the child blushing, Shen Ling quickly put away his smile and said seriously.

"How do you know?" Han Shi's eyes widened.

"Calculate! There are a total of one tael of silver, and the amount of each sum will be calculated." It's just a matter of adding, adding, subtracting, and subtracting. In modern times, even a primary school student can figure it out.

Han Shi had incomparable admiration for Shen Ling, and there was a faint trace of admiration in his eyes, but Shen Ling felt embarrassed. It was a little shy to be praised for this kind of skill.

On the street, someone was selling Spring Festival couplets, Shen Ling suddenly turned his head and walked towards the stall, there were already many people standing around the stall in twos and threes, and the people holding the Spring Festival couplets were trying to shout, "Spring Festival couplets, Spring Festival couplets, come and have a look ah!"

The people around wanted to find out the price, and asked, "Boss, how can I sell it at a lower price?"

"A pair of Spring Festival couplets costs ten cents, if you don't ask for a price, don't bargain!"

Shen Ling's eyes widened. A pair of Spring Festival couplets is only palm-width and half the height of a person. The paper used together is not much. The owner of the clothing store just gave him a piece of letter paper and wrote on it. In fact, it is not so expensive, why is red paper more expensive?

"It's still more than a month before the Spring Festival! You sell it so early, it's cheaper!" Someone asked for a price. The more expensive things are around the Spring Festival, everyone knows this truth, and there is still more than a month before the Spring Festival. People who sell New Year’s goods have not yet started. It’s okay to sell Spring Festival couplets at this time, but it should be a little cheaper than before the Spring Festival!

"It's already very cheap! Spring Festival couplets half a month before the Spring Festival can be sold for fifteen pennies a pair. It's not like you don't know, brother. Moreover, you know that scholars are required to pay for writing Spring Festival couplets. How much do you think? Can people see it?"

This is the truth. These days, scholars are precious, and scholars are superior. Writing Spring Festival couplets is a cheap industry. As the saying goes, writing Spring Festival couplets and selling them is even lower than farmers farming, unless it is particularly thoughtful or Scholars who are businessmen themselves, most of them seldom use this skill to make profits, and they can't make much profit. How much and how long can they sell Spring Festival couplets?

In addition, the general merchants and cashiers can only write at most. For example, the owner of the clothing store just now, the words are words, but they are only words. Where can I write Spring Festival couplets? I don’t have the skills to write calligraphy. That's all.

Shen Ling suddenly thought of his cheap third brother. It seems that the kid's handwriting is not bad. I don't know if he will write Spring Festival couplets during the Chinese New Year.

Shen Ling just thought about it casually, and then paid attention to the stalls selling Spring Festival couplets. In fact, there were not many Spring Festival couplets on the stalls, and in Shen Ling's view, the people who wrote the Spring Festival couplets seemed a little impatient. There are twists and turns, and in the end it may be tired, and the writing becomes less and less powerful, and there is no tension in the air.

I guess it is because I am tired that there are not many Spring Festival couplets at this booth. As the boss said, asking scholars to write Spring Festival couplets is a matter of paying a pen fee and asking someone to write one. It's over if you come to the deputy to hand over the job to you, unless you add a touch-up fee.

But even if some of these characters are not well written, most people still can't see it, and those who can see it will write it themselves, and don't bother to care about whether the characters sold by a Spring Festival couplet are good or not.

Shen Ling himself can also write calligraphy. When he was young, he was enrolled in various cram schools by his family to learn traditional culture. The only thing he persisted in was calligraphy, because his most praised and most useful amateur skill was Calligraphy, until I got to work later, friends would come to him because they needed someone to write calligraphy.

Shen Ling began to pay attention to the couplets on the Spring Festival couplets, which were very simple and common, and even very repetitive.For example, there are a few more joys in the old year, and the new year will be improved, and the new year will be promoted, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. Heshun's family adds wealth, Ping An Ruyi people are blessed, Hengbi, four seasons are safe', similar to these, you can roughly remember them at a glance, and, in modern times, even if Shen Ling has never memorized Spring Festival couplets, he can barely remember them. Get up a few pairs.

After looking at it for a while, Shen Ling stood up and said, "Let's go! Don't you want to paste the windows? Let's go buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones."

Han Shi agreed, but felt strange, he obviously only needed to buy paper, why did he buy pens, inks, papers and inkstones?
