Although Lao Zhoutou wanted to buy a lot of things, they were all groceries, and they were basically concentrated in those three or four stores, and coincidentally, those three or four stores were not far from each other.
Originally, vegetables, jars and other things were sold in grocery stores, and there was no shortage of needlework.
So Zhou Lang and Wu Lang took their backpacks on their backs and walked half a street with groceries. After some selection, they picked out what Dad needed, and then they bargained.
Zhou Lang was really good at bargaining. After gathering the things and going back and forth with the shopkeeper a few times, he was able to cut off eight cents.
Don't look at the eight cents first. Grocery stores are all small businesses, basically making small profits but quick turnover. Eight cents is already a lot.
Zhoulang was very satisfied, and so was Manbao.
Everyone put their things in their backpacks and carried them back to the oxcart. They left them in the care of Zhou Erlang and then went shopping happily.
Zhou Lang touched his money bag and said to Man Bao, "I'm going to buy something for your fourth sister-in-law. Let's go to Cloth Village."
"No, I'm going to the Silver Building. You can go by yourself."
Zhou Lang was startled and asked: "Why are you going to the silver building? Exchange copper plates?"
"No, I want to buy a bracelet." Man Bao said, "I want to buy a big bracelet for my mother and sister-in-law, and it also has to be gold."
"What about the second sister-in-law and the others?"
"They gave me money."
Zhou Lang: "...your bowl of water is not even."
Man Bao thought for a moment and said, "I'm not a family member, so why does it matter if I'm not in a good position?"
So Zhou Lang stopped going to Buzhuang and followed them to the Silver House to join in the fun.
The main reason was that it was a big deal and he was afraid that Manbao would suffer a loss.
He glanced at the cloth bag full of treasures and asked, "How much silver did you bring?"
Man Bao touched the cloth bag and said, "There are quite a few."
Lao Zhou's family rushed into the bank, frightening the customers and waiters inside.
The main reason is that there are too many people coming in, and their clothes don't look like they can afford jewelry, but their aura is not weak, and they don't look like they are here to cause mischief.
The waiter was stunned for a moment. The shopkeeper glared at him secretly and asked him to receive his guests. He smiled and went up to him, looked at Zhou Lang who seemed to be in charge and asked, "What do the guests want?"
Man Bao, who was standing next to Zhou Lang, said with bright eyes: "Bracelet!"
The shopkeeper then looked down at Manbao and asked with a smile, "What kind of bracelet does the young lady want?"
Man Bao had already looked past him at the tray on the counter, where golden bracelets were neatly arranged.
Man Bao secretly exclaimed and stepped forward to take a look.
The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said: "These are gold bracelets, available in various styles."
"Is it pure gold?"
"It's natural. Our silver shop has been in business in Luojiang County for decades. Guests can rest assured that we also have gold-plated jewelry, but this is just a plate."
Man Bao took a look and found that the gilded one seemed to be more beautiful than the pure gold one.
She couldn't help but stretched out her hand to touch it and looked at Zhou Lang and others.
They also looked at it in surprise, "It seems that the gold-plated ones are more beautiful than the pure gold ones."
Man Bao firmly turned his head to look at the pure gold bracelet and said: "But the value is not comparable. This is because the gold and jade are ruined on the outside."
Shopkeeper:......
Lao Zhou's family had a blind trust in Man Bao. When she said this, everyone stopped looking at the gilt bracelet and gathered around to look at the pure gold bracelet.
When the shopkeeper saw it, he immediately handed the tray to the waiter and asked him to take it away.
Man Bao stretched out his chubby hand and turned to ask the shopkeeper, "Can I try it on?"
The shopkeeper smiled, nodded and said, "Of course, you can try whichever one you like."
Man Bao had already memorized the appearance of the silver bracelet in her mother's hand, and she followed the pattern of the bracelet to look for it. In the end, she searched a tray and couldn't find the same one, but she did see several pretty ones.
At least Manbao thinks it looks better than the one chosen by his father.
She became confused.
Zhou Lang urged her, "Hurry up, what do you want?"
The shopkeeper glanced at Zhou Lang gratefully.
Man Bao said: "Both mother and sister-in-law like the style chosen by dad."
"Put it down, dad's vision..." Zhou Lang thought for a while and felt that his dad's choice was not bad, so he changed his words: "Don't talk about mom and sister-in-law, even I like it too. I like everything in silver. You
Just give me a piece of it and I’ll be very happy.”
Zhou Lang said: "So the important thing is not the style, but that it is made of silver and it is still a bracelet that can be worn on the hand."
"Is that so?" Man Bao couldn't help but look at Wu Lang and others.
Everyone nodded together, obviously agreeing with Zhou Lang's words.
Man Bao then geared up and said, "Then I have to choose carefully. This is my first time buying something for my mother and sister-in-law."
"Hey, wasn't the flower you sent last time the first time?"
Man Bao said: "That time doesn't count."
"Okay, next time I hope you will say it doesn't count this time."
The shopkeeper now understood that the bracelet the young lady picked was not for herself, but for her family.
He became even more happy, so he said: "Little lady, I also have a nice plate of gold bracelets. Can I bring them to you to see?"
Generally speaking, when you buy jewelry for yourself, you may not decide not to buy it after just looking at it, but when you buy jewelry for others, you will usually definitely buy it.
Two plates of gold bracelets were placed in front of Manbao. Daya, Erya and Sanya stepped forward to help their sister-in-law choose. With the efforts of the four little girls, Manbao finally selected two gold bracelets among dozens of them.
A look that everyone agrees is good-looking.
Then she tried it with her chubby hands.
Although she has chubby hands, she is still young, so they are different from those of adults.
Man Bao looked around, and finally pulled Wu Lang up to try it on.
Friday Lang:......
Shopkeeper:......
In fact, except for very fat people, basically everyone can wear these bracelets.
Man Bao put the bracelet into Wu Lang's hand and asked everyone: "Does it look good?"
Everyone nodded together: "It looks good!"
It's shiny, yellow-orange, and so pretty. Just looking at it makes me want to take a bite.
Wu Lang also looked at it seriously, nodded and said, "I think it looks good too."
Man Bao asked the shopkeeper, "How much does this bracelet cost?"
The shopkeeper smiled, "Then I have to weigh them."
The shopkeeper took the small scale and weighed the bracelet for them, "This one weighs six taels, and this one weighs five taels and five cents. Including the workmanship and losses, this one costs eight taels, and this one costs seven taels or three hundred cents."
Everyone was stunned, this is too expensive.
Zhou Lang counted on his fingers, leaned into Man Bao's ear and said, "Man Bao, isn't six coins of gold only six taels of silver?"
Man Bao nodded, that's right, so she also felt that their handiwork was very expensive.
