Embracing the ancient times with roses

Li Xiu and Da Zhuang sent people outside the door, saw them get in the car and left, and then went back to the house, they cleaned up together, put the table for dinner, and at the dining table, Da Zhuang asked Li Xiu: "Brother Xiu, how about you?" Can you fix something?"

Li Xiu said with a smile: "Brother Zhuang, it's trivial to me to build that statue, but just now Chu Junhao said that he slipped his mouth, that thing is not from many years ago, at most it was carved three months ago, and then It was old, but the man's craftsmanship is still good, but it was leaked in front of me. I just came into the house, just to confirm that it is a new piece of jade, so I persuaded him to put this jade Buddha Send it to the temple and push this matter away."

"Then you said that Chu Junhao didn't see it? By the way, Liu Ziran is also in business, so he should know something about jade?" Da Zhuang couldn't figure it out.

"That's right, I'm also wondering, unless Chu Junhao didn't know about the Jade Buddha being swapped, and Liu Ziran also participated in the process of deceiving Chu Junhao, so let's pretend we don't know anything Come on, I'll fix it for him. If I don't come, I'll save trouble. Let's take back the crops in the field in the past two days. I think the weather is getting colder every day, especially those beans. You have to take it back first?"

Da Zhuang nodded and said, "I'll get back the two double-sided scythes you asked me to hit in the afternoon, and tomorrow we'll collect the beans in the field first, but brother Xiu, how do you use that scythe? Huh? I haven't seen such a tool before."

Lixiu finished his last bite of food and said: "When I was at home, I saw someone use it. It was at the root of the bean. When I pushed it, the bean fell to the ground. This thing can be used as a sickle, or it can be used as a scythe. When it is used as a push knife, people don’t need to bend over, and use a small sickle to cut beans, which reduces the workload, and saves bending time and back pain.”

Da Zhuang nodded and said, "Well, I'll see then, it's not difficult."

Li Xiu nodded and said, "Isn't it? Didn't I know how to do farm work when I first came here? Don't I know how to do farm work now?"

Da Zhuang looked at Li Xiu's thinner and thinner face and said, "Yeah, I'll go to town in the afternoon to buy you some nourishing food. Seeing how thin you are, my heart aches when I see it. It's the least you've seen since you came here." I lost a lot of weight."

Li Xiu was not unmoved, but he was afraid that it would be bad if he bought things at home so blatantly, and it would be bad if people noticed, "Brother Zhuang, the meat here is so expensive, if you buy it at home, you will be caught." It’s not good when people see it. Let’s talk about it when we go to the market someday. I’m afraid that others will say that our family is not good, so it’s not good.”

As soon as Da Zhuang heard about it: "You think too much, Brother Xiu, people in our village rarely pay attention to others like this, especially at this time, everyone is busy with the harvest, and there is no time to care about us."

Hearing what Da Zhuang said, Li Xiu felt relieved, nodded and said, "Okay then, but can you take me there? Except when I just came here, I went to the town once, and I never talked to you again. You've been out."

Da Zhuang nodded: "There's nothing wrong with it, let's sleep for a while later, otherwise the sun is too big, I'm afraid you can't stand it."

Li Xiu shook his head and said, "It's okay, let's go back early, there are still these living creatures at home, don't come back late, they are rebelling."

When Da Zhuang heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, I will follow your orders."

So the two of them cleaned up together, and when it was done, Li Xiu made some calculations and went out with Da Zhuang. Before going out, he still didn't forget to fasten the door of the house, and he even left a mark on it. His habit for many years, now Da Zhuang is no stranger to it, at first Da Zhuang didn't understand it, but after his explanation, he accepted it calmly.

The two left the village in a low-key way, and when they arrived in the town, they went directly to the blacksmith's shop and brought back the two farm tools that had been beaten. In modern times, it is worth 20 yuan at most, and the silver here is only [-] yuan. It can only be said that the craftsmen here are really valuable.

Da Zhuang watched Li Xiu sulking with a bitter face, and comforted him and said, "It's okay, brother Xiu, our two farm tools, save them and they can last for many years."

Li Xiu listened: "Although I said so, this thing only costs [-] yuan at our house, so it still costs so much money, and as long as I have all the tools, I can make it myself, and I still need to spend money to order it here."

Da Zhuang heard: "You can even do this?"

Li Xiu rolled his eyes at him and said, "What's so difficult about it? If it was in my hometown, I dare say it would be a piece of cake for me to do this."

When the blacksmith who followed behind heard it, he was not happy: "You can't talk too much, we are already the best blacksmith shop in the town, why don't we try it?"

Li Xiu gave him a blank look, "If I had all the tools, I would still use you to waste my time. It's not that I underestimated you. Can you make it with just this knife?" After speaking, he pulled out a knife from his waist. The stainless steel carving knife has been his habit for many years. He is used to carrying a carving knife wherever he goes. When he sees something that can be carved, he takes it and carves a few times.

Liu Tou from the blacksmith shop was dumbfounded when he saw it, and pointed to the knife in his hand and said, "Here, did you make this thing yourself?"

Li Xiu glared at him, and said nothing: "Let's go, Big Brother Zhuang." But in his heart, he regretted dying, why was he so impatient, why did he miss something to eat in front of others? I know, I have to scold myself to death, maybe I have to slap myself to show myself in front of others, being a low-key talent is king.

Da Zhuang pulled the donkey cart forward, and Liu Tou from the blacksmith shop chased him out and said, "Little brother, I don't know Taishan, please forgive me, please take back this money, my old Liu just has a problem." , I just admire people who are more skilled than me, so I'm sorry today."

When Da Zhuang saw it, he hurriedly said: "Liu Tou, don't say that, my brother Xiu is a young brother who just got married and came to my house. He doesn't understand many rules in our place. You can see it for my sake." , just don’t get acquainted with him, okay?”

Liu Tou said with a smile: "Where did Village Chief Tong say that? Your little brother seems to have a temper at first glance, but his craftsmanship is really good. But I want to ask, Village Chief Tong, did you beat these two people?" What are the tools for?"

Li Xiu turned his eyes and said, "Liu Tou, how many days will it take you to beat these two tools?"

Liu Tou said: "This one will take three days, I don't know why my little brother asks this?"

"My idea is very simple. I will go back to the village and tell you about the usefulness of this tool with Da Zhuang, and then I will say that it is custom-made in your home, so I will promote it to you for free, but after that, every time you sell it When you come out with a tool like this, why don't you give us a promotional fee of five cents?" Li Xiu looked at Liu Tou and said.

Da Zhuang and Liu Tou looked at each other, and Liu Tou said, "Really?"

Li Xiu nodded and said, "Really, but when the two of us come up with different agricultural tools in the future, we will still come here to cooperate with Liu Tou. I think Liu Tou's money will also be a bonanza."

Liu Tou nodded and said, "Okay, I'll just wait for your good news."

Comrade Da Zhuang nodded, and drove away with Li Xiu in a donkey cart. After Liu Tou watched the couple leave, he followed the little apprentice who came out and said, "Forget everything you saw today, and no one is allowed to say it."

The little apprentice blinked and asked, "Why?"

Liu Tou flicked his head with his hand and said, "If this news gets out, our business will be over. Who will come to our store to make things, understand?"

The little apprentice rubbed his head, nodded and said, "Master, I understand, don't worry, I won't say anything."

Li Xiu and Da Zhuang left the blacksmith shop and went directly to the vegetable market, where they bought some pork that they didn't have at home. Da Zhuang also bought some fruits and dried fruits for Li Xiu. Looking at these two things, Li Xiu felt depressed. , so expensive, it costs more than 500 Wen for these two things, especially pork is the most expensive, it took a full 230 Wen for Lixiu, those fruits and dried fruits are not bad, but it also cost [-] Wen, which is enough for a family in the village Three people, living for a full month, really prodigal!

It's nothing to be so strong, he thinks that he can spend as much money as he wants to buy things for Li Xiu to repair his body, he doesn't care, but when he sees Li Xiu's face when he pays, he just wants to laugh, this is his family's repair. My brother feels sorry for the money, but it is still very interesting to watch.

When the two passed by the door of a shop opened by a fan, they saw that there was no one in the shop. Da Zhuang said, "There are very few people here to buy things."

"Why, are things expensive?" Li Xiu was puzzled.

"It's not how expensive it is, but what they sell. We don't need it here at all, and no one knows what to use it for. It is said that this store is going to collapse and is about to close." Da Zhuang shook his head. .

Li Xiu heard, "It's fresh, go in and have a look." After speaking, he got out of the car, raised his feet and walked into the shop.

When Da Zhuang tied up the donkey cart, he walked into the store and took a look. Good guy, there are quite a lot of things here, and many of them are familiar to him. When he stopped in front of a pile of white wool, he used I touched it with my hand.I found out that it was made of pure wool. When the guy next to me saw someone coming, he hurried over and said, "Guest officer, do you want to buy wool?"

Li Xiu asked, "How do you sell this thing?"

The young man said: "Our shopkeeper said that as long as you give money, you can sell it."

Li Xiu looked at it and said, "How do you sell it?"

"It's not expensive, it only costs five cents a catty, guest officer, how many catties can you buy?" the young man said carefully.

"What, so expensive? I, I won't buy it?" Li Xiu said in 'panic'.

"Guest officer, take a good look at this thread. It's very soft. If you use this thing to weave cloth, it must be very thick and warm to wear."

Li Xiu asked, "Can you weave?"

. . . . . .

Li Xiu turned around and walked out. At this time, the shopkeeper who had been silent all this time said, "Please stay a little longer, my little brother. As long as you like the things in our store, I will give you [-]% off, okay?" , just sighed.

Li Xiu thought for a while and said: "Thank you very much, just now, bring me ten catties of wool, and wrap that piece of wool felt for me too, um, and wrap that little stone for me too. "

The little guy said: "Okay, you wait."

The shopkeeper came over and said, "Little brother, do you know these things?"

Li Xiu shook his head and said, "I don't know her, but I just think it looks good. How much is the total?"

The shopkeeper made a calculation: "Brother, no more, no less money."

Li Xiu nodded and said: "Okay." After speaking, he handed the money to the shopkeeper, this time he didn't even blink his eyes, but when he took these things from the boy's hands, he said: "Shopkeeper, I will pay you later." If you have any nice little stones, keep them for me, and those woolen yarns."

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "I hope you will come here more often in the future, little brother, otherwise I will close down."

Li Xiu nodded and said, "Okay." Then he turned around and loaded the things he bought into the car with Comrade Da Zhuang and left.

When the two left the town, Li Xiu Le couldn't get along anymore, Da Zhuang saw him like that and asked, "Brother Xiu, what are you laughing at?"

Li Xiu closed his mouth and said, "Brother Zhuang, let's post this time."

Da Zhuang heard: "Don't understand?"

Lixiu handed the bag of small stones that he had been holding to Da Zhuang's face and said, "Brother Da Zhuang, this is not an ordinary stone. This is the gemstone in the middle. I don't think the boss knows it? I'm so confused. How can such a boss manage a store well!"

When Da Zhuang saw Li Xiu's smug little face, he smiled and said, "I really love you for being a money fan." After speaking, he kissed Li Xiu hard on his face twice.

Li Xiu gave him a blank look, and he was no stranger to such a comrade Da Zhuang. Since the two of them really did it that night, after Li Xiu had a fever for a few days, Da Zhuang hadn't touched him again. he.He also acquiesced in their husband and wife.

After Da Zhuang kissed him again today, he couldn't do anything but stare at him. Anyway, he had already thought about it, and he wanted to live a good life with Da Zhuang, and let him take advantage of it. order it!And he found a serious problem, he may be born with an "o", when Da Zhuang was with him that night, when he was sprinting to his heart's content, he found that he was very happy, he couldn't stop it, but after it was over , he also regretted it, and when he wanted to deal with Da Zhuang, he "couldn't bring it up" again. He was depressed for a few days because of this, so he had to admit that he was a The fact of 'brother' life. . . . . .
