Zhao Erniu stared at Chen Miao. What did this little girl mean by staring at him?
"Shopkeeper, give me a bag of burning paper." It's almost time to burn the cold clothes paper. I didn't go to burn paper for Grandpa Shen Jianfeng last year when I was pregnant, but I must go this year. "By the way, you have to bring me some clothes."
Of course the shopkeeper of the coffin shop knew that it was the twelfth lunar month and he had to burn the cold clothes paper, and he had already started to pay the bills.
Chen Miao watched from the side, gritted his teeth, and decided to ask, "Shopkeeper, is your name Zhao Erniu?"
"Yes, I am Zhao Erniu."
"Then when will Li Wenquan come?"
"Li Wenquan?"
After asking, Zhao Erniu stared at Chen Miao.
"Yes, he told me before that if I wanted to find him for anything, I should come here and ask. He said that Shopkeeper Zhao can find him."
"Well, I know Li Wenquan, but I haven't seen him for a long time."
"Shopkeeper Zhao, I haven't seen him either. I have something I want to find him for. Could you please shopkeeper Zhao take the trouble to help find him? Let him drive the car and take a few people at home to find me at home."
Chen Miao felt that she had already explained everything clearly. Both the car and the people had been explained clearly, so there should be no mistakes, right?
Chen Miao saw that the shopkeeper was very good, and once again picked two tumblers, two rattles, and two small tiger heads, which were all children's toys.
"That's okay, uncle, what kind of thing is it?"
Zhao Erniu stared at Chen Miao for a long time before continuing to pick up the paper money. "Okay, I'll tell him when I see him."
"You wait until I go back to show you."
"I call you this little girl who wants to buy shoe soles."
"what is this?"
"One dollar? So expensive?"
"Huarong Road."
I also bought two needles and awls, as I will be making a lot of shoes in the future. They will be necessary for holding shoe soles. I bought two large rolls of thick thread.
I saw a store selling brine. You can buy more. I bought a jar directly. If I bought more, the shopkeeper gave me the jar as well.
"I have ten more five cents each here."
Zhao Erniu did not make a promise and handed the paper money to Chen Miao, "Thirty cash in total."
After a while, this middle-aged man came in with a roll under his arm, wrapped it in cloth, and opened it, "Look, this is what can be used as soles."
Chen Miao looked through the pages. "Uncle, I understand. How much is this piece?"
Soon a middle-aged man followed the waiter in, "Old Tian, what did you ask me to do?"
I went into the grocery store and bought twenty kilograms of salt. I still have to pickle the pickles this year. I asked Chen Jiang to take back a lot of them last year. I also have mustard greens and radishes at home, which I pickled.
She bought a stack of wrapping paper. She really didn’t have this thing herself. She just felt that the wrapping paper was slightly more delicate than burnt paper. She bought a roll of paper rope for packaging.
Originally, she wanted to ask about the situation outside, but she decided not to do it now. The main reason was that she felt that Zhao Erniu was not good at first impression. She also knew that she should not judge people by their appearance. But she just felt uneasy in her heart.
Finally, I bought a comb and a bronze mirror. Just do as the Romans do. Put the ones you don’t need aside as souvenirs in the future. With this in mind, I saw three types of bronze mirrors in the grocery store and bought one of each.
"Then give it all to me."
The shopkeeper of the grocery store was very happy because this little girl bought a lot of things.
"Shopkeeper, can I buy it?"
"I don't have shoe soles here. If you want to make shoes, you have to cut them yourself."
I don’t plan to sell tofu. I take my time in the space and eat it slowly. I can also freeze the tofu. I also have a stone grinder. In the winter, I can make food at home if I have nothing to do.
"Shopkeeper, tell me? I'll ask, I also want a pair of shoes that won't wear out."
"Shopkeeper, what's the use of buying red paper? I can't write, and I can't write couplets."
"Girl, why don't you buy some red paper? It's going to be out of stock, there's only this much left."
"The shopkeeper. I've seen someone with black shoe soles, and they don't look like Na's shoe soles. What are they?" The shopkeeper is pretty good, so I might as well ask.
She knew that it would be bad for people's health if they didn't eat salt for a long time, so pickles were easy to put in.
Chen Miao nodded, "Uncle, I can see the traces of cutting. Just tell me how much it costs?" He didn't have the guts to damage the conveyor belt used.
I was thinking about going back and asking his dad to make a tofu plate.
"Shopkeeper, what is this?"
Chen Miao didn't waste any time, put it in the basket, counted out the money, put it on the counter and left.
"What you're talking about is called a tire base. This thing is quite expensive. I heard it's very strong and won't wear out."
"Yeah, I think so too."
"This piece of leather can make ten pairs of shoe soles. Let me tell you, although I got these from the mine, they are all unused."
Chen Miao smiled and said, "Listen to my advice and have enough to eat. Okay. The shopkeeper will give me a few." I don't know how to cut the window grilles. The old people in the village should know how to do it. They should learn how to do it themselves. It doesn't matter.
The shopkeeper called the waiter, "Go next door to my house and ask Sanyang to come over. He didn't go to work today."
"Girl, I think you were introduced by Lao Tian. In fact, you need to split the leather from the middle with a sharp knife. Didn't you see that there is a string in the middle? There is still a little leather in the middle of the string. You split it here. I
Let me tell you, it’s just as strong.”
Sanyang looked at Chen Miao. He knew that the old neighbor was a cautious person. If he felt that this girl was not good, he would not tell him that he had stolen the thing.
"This is a dollar a dollar,"
"It means that the soles of the shoes won't wear out if they are worn out. But if the soles are worn out, you don't have to throw them away. You can still put on your shoes."
It was really heavy when Chen Miao took it.
"You can cut the window grilles, but who doesn't put some red ones on them during the Chinese New Year?"
"Uncle, I want to see the kind of shoe soles that won't wear out."
Chen Miao had heard that these were educational toys for children, so she bought two of them.
She has been to the county seat many times, and it is not easy to go there. She still brings back some supplies.
"Uncle, if the soles are made, they won't break. It's just that it's too hard to put on the shoes. It's hard to prick them with needles and awls."
"Shopkeeper Zhao, please hurry up. It's very urgent." Isn't it urgent? It's really cold, so of course the cotton-padded clothes I prepared must be delivered as soon as possible.
"But it's quite expensive. If you want to buy it, I know who sells it? He works in a coal mine, and he steals it back if it's useless."
"Nine rings. Children's toys. Children play here."
"Is this expensive? Okay, I still have a string here. It's definitely not possible to use a string when putting on shoes. This kind of thin string is also used in mines, and it's the same as the one in leather."
Chen Miao looked at the bundle of rope he took out and smiled. "Okay, uncle said so and I want it, but it's really expensive."
"Of course good things are expensive. Later you will know that you didn't spend more money."
"Uncle, can you help me split it in the middle? I really can't."
