After the two parties completed the red deed, Mr. Yang left with the money.
"Mr. Yang is also a poor man. His son got into gambling and lost all the family's money. Isn't that right? He even sold the cows, and I don't know if he can repay the gambling debt." Liu Yazi saw Mr. Yang.
After leaving, there was also a sigh of relief.
"So, children and grandchildren should not be pampered too much, they should be taught how to behave properly!" Father Gu then sighed with emotion, completely forgetting how he pampered his younger son.
"Brother, now that you have bought the cow, do you still need to buy a frame?" After sighing, Liu Yazi asked again when he saw Mr. Gu leading the cow away.
When Gu Chengyu heard about it, it turned out that there was a one-stop service. However, he thought it was more convenient to buy a bicycle frame. He had already bought the cattle and it was too late to buy them now. In addition, there was only a carpenter in Shanling Village, Lin Wu, and he did not want to ask him to buy a bicycle frame.
.
"Dad, let's buy a bicycle frame on the way? It's not convenient to buy it back home."
"Okay, but I wonder if Brother Liu has a familiar carpenter to recommend him?" Father Gu knew that Liu Yazi asked this, so he must know the carpenter who made the bicycle frame.
"You have asked the right person about this. My brother-in-law is a carpenter. He is in the shop in front, not far from here. If it is convenient, I will take you there to have a look. Don't worry, I guarantee you a good deal." Liu Yazi paid attention.
The little boy who came to Father Gu looked about four or five years old, but he had a calm temper and could make decisions. However, the most eye-catching thing was his good looks.
"Okay! Let's go and see how much your brother-in-law's bike frame costs?"
"There are three kinds. One is the cheapest, costing 600 fen. This one is made of worse wood, but it is very strong. It will not be a problem for a few years. The other kind of wood is better, costing 800 fen. This one will last longer.
There is also one with a carriage, which can be disassembled, but this one is more expensive, costing one to two to five cents!"
Gu Chengyu saw Liu Yazi introducing the bicycle frame in detail and skillfully, and thought that he might be able to get business.
All the way to a wood shop at the end of South Street. This shop is not big and the location is somewhat remote.
"Da Shan, I've brought someone here for you!" Liu Yazi shouted while standing outside the shop.
"Here we come, brother-in-law." A man who was much younger than Liu Yazi walked out of the shop. This man was tall and burly, with a simple and honest appearance.
"Brother-in-law, this customer wants to buy a bicycle frame? Come to the shop and have a look."
Gu Chengyu stepped over some messy wood on the ground and walked to the place where the frame was placed. Dashan basically agreed with Liu Yazi's description. He paid close attention to the frame with the carriage. The carriage is also very easy to disassemble. It can be used for farm work.
Remove the upper box, keep the lower frame still, and place a large wooden board on the frame. As a dual-purpose frame, it is indeed convenient and practical.
"Dad, just buy this! Then you don't have to worry about getting wet when it rains."
"Your young master is very discerning. Although this kind of bicycle frame is more expensive, it is the most practical." Dashan looked at this delicate boy and really felt like a young master from a wealthy family.
Gu Chengyu raised his head and glanced at the mountain. It seemed that the mountain was honest on the surface, but the people were not honest!
"What are you talking about, young master? We are all children of farmers. Stop calling him like that. You won't make people laugh." This was the first time that Father Gu heard someone call his son young master, and he felt awkward and panicked.
"Since everyone says this is good, let's buy it! Even at your price, why can't it be cheaper?" Father Gu thought that since he spent a lot of money today, he might as well buy it all at once.
"Isn't your son looking good? My brother-in-law brought you, and the original one or two and a half cents of silver have already been given to you at a discount. Let's do this! I'll give you a fifty cents discount. Go to this place and ask, who doesn't?
Do you know that the woodware in my shop, Dashan, is the most genuine?" Dashan looked simple and honest, but his mouth was quite eloquent.
Gu Chengyu thought that the soap he was going to make didn't have a mold yet. He didn't know what the carvings on the mountain were like. He walked around and saw no carvings in the shop. They were mostly car frames, tables and chairs, and there were only simple carvings on them.
Lines, no engraving done.
"Uncle Dashan, can you do carving? I want to make some molds."
"Yes! Don't look at the fact that there are no carvings in my shop. In fact, although my carvings are not exquisite, they are still eye-catching. Just wait, I will show you." After a while, Dashan came out of the inner room.
, there was also a little wooden figure in his hand. Gu Chengyu took it and took a look. The little figure was quite exquisitely made, and the hair was carved into extremely fine silk.
"Do you have a pen and paper? I'll draw the molds I want to make. I need to make at least five of them first. How much do you think they will cost?"
Gu Chengyu was sitting on the bullock cart driven by Gu's father, and was heading to Shanngling Village. He originally wanted to buy some soap-making materials on this trip, but his father had no money, so he had to give up.
He ordered five soap molds, all of which were square, oval, or round, with patterns on the edges. Without exception, each mold was engraved with the word "Gu" and an emblem.
He drew it casually, using the shape of a rose. As far as he knew, there were no roses in this dynasty, only similar roses. The requirements for engraving each mold were not low, so one was priced at 500 coins, and five would be enough.
He was given twenty-two-five cents of silver. Before leaving, Mr. Gu also paid five hundred cents as a deposit and agreed to pick it up in five days.
"Dad! How do you know how to drive a bullock cart?" Gu Chengyu asked curiously.
"I learned that many years ago." Daddy Gu was driving the ox cart and was filled with emotion. There were only two families with oxen in the village. Now that his family has bought an ox cart, there must be more people in the village.
Someone wants to vomit acid water.
"Xiaobao, can that soap you mentioned really make money?" Daddy Gu drove the bullock cart and asked Gu Chengyu who was sitting in the carriage. This mold costs two or two and five yuan of silver, and he doesn't know if this thing can make money.
Can't be made.
"Dad, even if you don't believe me, you still have to believe the person in the dream, right? That person bathes with soap all day long! He smells so good. Let's try a cheap one first, the one with flowers added, and then we can
Try." Gu Chengyu rolled his eyes, his father had asked him several times on the way.
"Isn't Dad afraid that this thing will be difficult to make? If it is really made, will anyone buy it?" Dad Gu expressed his doubts.
"Dad! Do you think the bath beans mom uses to take a bath are expensive?"
"Of course it's expensive! Three hundred cents! It's just a little bit!" Father Gu felt a throb in his heart when he thought of the bath beans that Lu used at home.
"That soap is much cleaner than bath beans! Dad! Don't worry! I promise you won't lose money."
It was already early noon when the ox cart drove into Shangling Village, and the Gu family had already had lunch. The ox cart stopped in front of the Gu family, and Mr. Gu hugged Gu Chengyu and got out of the car.
"But Xiaobao is back?" Mrs. Lu, who was doing needlework in the main room, heard the sound of an oxcart parked outside the courtyard gate. She quickly put down her clothes and shouted through the window towards the outside of the courtyard.
"Mom, it's me and dad who are back." The courtyard door of the Gu family was half open. Gu Chengyu pushed the door open further, preparing to let the bullock cart in.
The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family next door heard the sound of an ox cart, walked to the courtyard gate, and looked out through the open door. She found that there was an ox cart in front of the Gu family's door. This cart also had a carriage! Then the Gu family's youngest son unexpectedly came from
