The boss pondered for a while before nodding: "It can be done, but you have to pay a deposit first."

If you are making ordinary things, you don't have to charge this deposit, but the specifications of the wooden barrels this child makes are too special, and he is afraid that she will not want them after they are made.

"That's no problem, but boss, I have another request." Bo Beibei said again.

"any request?"

"Boss, please install a piston on the bottom side of the barrel when making this barrel."

"Pistons?" The boss didn't seem to understand what Bai Beibei meant.

"What I mean is to make a hole in the bottom of the barrel that can drain water. When the barrel is filled with water, the hole can be plugged. When you want to drain the water in the barrel, just open the hole, so you don't have to pour the barrel. gone."

She is small and has little strength, so she can't change the water for the fish in the bucket without a piston.

The boss's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Girl, can you tell me about this piston in detail?"

"can."

Bo Beibei nodded, and explained to the boss the purpose and specific appearance of the piston in detail. As for whether it can be made, this is the boss's business.

After Bai Beibei finished speaking, he was about to pay the boss a deposit, but the boss said: "Girl, you don't need to pay the deposit, you can pick up the goods in five days, if I can't make a wooden barrel that you are satisfied with, don't bother then." OK."

If he can really make this wooden barrel with a piston according to the little girl's request, then his carpentry shop business will definitely take off, so what's the deposit?
"Okay, then I'll come back to pick up the goods in five days." Bo Beibei didn't know what the boss was thinking, thinking that the boss didn't dare to accept the deposit because he was worried that he couldn't make the wooden barrel she wanted.

Bo Beibei looked at a large wooden spoon hanging on the right wall, and asked, "Boss, how much is this water spoon?"

The water tank in the space lacks such a spoon for scooping water.

Hearing that the boss said two pennies, Bai Beibei paid the money and took the water ladle out of the carpenter's shop.

Bo Beibei walked to a corner, and seeing no one around, he brought the spoon into the space.

So far, she rarely has time to come into the space except for the few nights when she rushes to make shell ornaments. Now that she comes with her auntie and the others, it is not easy for her to stay in the space for a long time, so she puts down the spoon and comes out again.

After leaving the space, Bo Beibei went to the jewelry store again.

Bo Beibei picked out a set of silver jewelry at the jewelry store, and negotiated with the boss for a long time, but the boss still refused to let go, and insisted on ten taels of silver.

Bo Beibei had no choice but to take out a ten tael bank note to pay the bill.

Just now, buying meat and selling rice, and buying water spoons has almost used up the cash that her brother gave her, so she can only use bank notes.

After buying the jewelry and changing the money, Bo Beibei went to the tailor shop to find Yunshi and Bai Yuzhu.

As soon as Bai Beibei entered the tailor shop, she saw Yun holding a pink skirt and comparing it to Bai Yuzhu: "Yuzhu, this dress is very pretty, why don't you ask Beibei to buy one for you to wear on your engagement day?" ?”

"Auntie, this engagement is not marriage, it doesn't need to wear new clothes." Bai Yuzhu said with a blushing face.

"Of course you have to wear new clothes on such a great day as engagement!" Bai Beibei walked in with a smile, and said to the boss: "Boss, I want this one."

"Beibei!" Bai Yuzhu held Bai Beibei and whispered, "This dress doesn't look cheap."

Father, mother, brother, and the others asked for a dowry of 30 taels, and Bai Yuzhu already felt sorry for Bai Manchuan and the others, so how could they spend money indiscriminately?
"Sister Yuzhu, getting married is a lifelong event, don't you want to dress up nicely?" Bai Beibei asked with a blink of an eye.

"Beibei is right. This engagement is a big deal. You have to spend the money that should be spent. Don't let others laugh at our family's ignorance of etiquette!" Yun agreed, "Beibei, if you don't have enough money, Auntie will still have it here."

When her daughter got engaged, the man was too stingy and didn't even buy new clothes for her daughter, which made her very angry.Now that the boat is engaged, she thinks she has to buy new clothes for Yuzhu.

"Auntie, I have enough money."

Bai Yuzhu couldn't hold back Bai Beibei and Yun Shi, so she had to let them buy the skirt.

"Sister Yuzhu, have you picked out my brother's clothes?" Bai Beibei asked, but his eyes fell on a bright colored robe.

Mancang has gained a lot of weight these days, and he has also grown a lot taller. His previous clothes look too small on his body. This bright-colored robe is just right for Mancang to wear.

"My aunt and I picked out this blue linen dress, do you think it's okay?" Bai Yuzhu handed the dress he liked to Bai Beibei.

Bo Beibei stretched out his hand to touch it, and frowned: "Is it so rough?"

"Your brother often goes to sea, so he can't wear good clothes." Yun said.

Bo Beibei didn't say she wouldn't buy this set, but chose another set of black underwear that felt better for her brother to wear on the engagement day.

The four sets of clothes cost a total of 380 Liuwen. The boss erased the change and received 380 Wen.

"It's so expensive. If I buy fabrics and make them myself, I can save a lot of money!" Bai Yuzhu muttered.

"Sister Yuzhu, can you make clothes?"

"Yes, if it wasn't too late, I would have asked you to buy the fabric back." Bai Yuzhu said distressedly.

Bo Beibei pursed her lips and said, "Sister Yuzhu, then I'll buy two bolts of cloth and go back to make two sets of clothes for my mother when you have time?"

The clothes on the mother's body have been worn for many years, and they should be replaced with new ones. It's just that the mother is getting old and her eyesight is not very good. Bai Beibei is not willing to make her mother tired.

"What's wrong with that?" There's nothing wrong with making clothes for your future mother-in-law.

Yun's disagreed now: "How old is your mother, and your clothes are not rotten, why don't you waste the money on making new clothes."

"Auntie, then I'll buy one first." Regardless of Yun's objection, Bai Beibei insisted on buying cloth for Feng.

After buying the cloth, they went to the grocery store to buy some candies.

It was already Xiangwu at this time, and Bo Beibei wanted to take the two of Yun to a noodle shop for noodles, but Yun scolded her: "I have spent a lot of money today, just buy a steamed bun for lunch That's it, waste of money!"

Yun's family refused to go to the noodle shop, so Bai Beibei had no choice but to go to the bun shop to buy some steamed buns.

It's really a headache to have money but not let your family know about it, and it's not a good feeling to be restrained.

After eating the steamed buns, Bo Beibei saw a few women selling eggs on the side of the street, so he went up and bought all their eggs, more than 150.

Fortunately, Yun knew that Bo Beibei bought it for the banquet the day after tomorrow, so he didn't say much, which made Bo Beibei heave a sigh of relief.

After shopping, they went to the bridge in Baogang Town to meet the firewood driver.

When they got off the car in the morning, they made an appointment with the coachman, asking him to wait for them here with half a car of firewood and two large buckets of water after lunch.

Seeing them carrying several cloth bags, the coachman rushed forward to pick them up and put them on the cart.
