Chapter 43 Meeting an Acquaintance

The man obviously recognized Bo Beibei, and he snorted coldly at Bo Beibei, then flung his sleeves and left.

Bo Beibei looked back at his back thoughtfully, and entered the carpenter's shop.

The owner of the carpenter's shop was very excited when he saw Bai Beibei.

"Little girl, the wooden barrel you ordered last time is ready, come in and have a look." After speaking, the boss explained a few words to the apprentices in the shop, and led Bai Beibei through a side door into the backyard.

"Little girl, can you take a look at this wooden bucket?" The boss asked, pointing to the big wooden bucket filled with water in the yard, his face was full of joy.

It is not difficult to make this wooden barrel, but this "piston" is not easy to make. At the beginning, the "piston" he and his apprentices made were either stuffed in or seeped. They tried no less than a hundred times before they grasped the trick and made the piston success.

He also plans to add this piston when making bathtubs for big families in the future. Not only bathtubs, but also many wooden utensils can be added with this piston.

Bai Beibei took a look at the wooden barrel. Although the workmanship was a bit rough, everything else met her requirements.

Bo Beibei paid for the barrel and ordered two more such barrels, a locker, and a wardrobe from the boss.

Before she entered the carpenter's shop just now, she was thinking about adding these things to the space, that's why she bumped into people.

Thinking of this, Bo Beibei asked casually: "Boss, I accidentally bumped into an uncle when I entered the shop just now. I wonder if the boss recognizes him?"

"You're talking about Lao You?" The boss thought for a while, and said, "It's okay, you didn't mean it."

"Boss, you seem to be very familiar with that uncle?" Bo Beibei knew that the man was doing business in the town, but he didn't know what kind of business he was?
"How can you not be familiar with doing business in the same town? He opened a bakery in the street behind, and I occasionally visit his house." The boss laughed.

"Opening a cake shop in the town must be a good business. Can that Uncle You manage it all by himself?"

"Their whole family is in the town, so they can come here." The boss paused, and then sighed softly: "Speaking of which, the old You and his wife are also hard-pressed. They gave birth to three daughters in succession, and they finally gave birth to each other. A son, but a fool."

The boss shook his head as he spoke, feeling sorry for the old man.

Hearing that Lao You's son is an idiot, Bai Beibei's eyes flashed with anger, and he continued to ask quietly: "It must be difficult for an idiot to marry a wife, right?"

"Who says no, Lao You bought a girl a few months ago and wanted to be his son's wife, but after getting along for a while, Lao You found that the girl was not reliable, so he sold the girl again gone."

"Then now, has Uncle You found a wife for his son?" Bai Beibei frowned imperceptibly, and then continued to ask pretendingly curiously.

Bo Beibei hated this kind of selfish and unscrupulous person. His son is a human being, so is someone else's daughter not a human being?

Fortunately, their family could afford 30 taels of betrothal gift, otherwise sister Yuzhu's life would be ruined?
And that Youshi, Bo Beibei couldn't believe that Youshi didn't know that her distant cousin was an idiot!
"How can it be so easy to find?" The boss didn't know that Bai Beibei was probing him, and continued: "A while ago, I heard that Lao You had a crush on a country girl, and then I didn't know why it didn't work out, but I heard that the first two Tian Laoyou fell in love with a girl again, but I don't know if it will work out this time?"

Bo Beibei got the news she wanted, and after a few pleasantries with the boss, the boss asked someone to help her pull the wooden barrel outside the town to wait for her, and she went to the market.

Bo Beibei bought a basket of eggs, a few catties of meat, and a few catties of big bones before heading out of town.

When there was still some distance from the entrance of the village, Bai Beibei asked the coachman to stop and paid him the fare.

After the coachman left, Bo Beibei got the wooden barrel into the space, filled the wooden barrel with water, and put all the fish in the tank into the wooden barrel.

These fish are fat enough to be eaten, and Bai Beibei plans to sell them in the fish market in a few days.

Just what kind of excuse is there to get the fish out?

As soon as Bai Beibei walked to the entrance of the village with her things in hand, she saw two luxurious carriages parked in the open space of the fish market.

Bai Beibei hooked her lips, these people came later than she thought.

Bo Beibei stood at the door of her house, glanced at the figures on the beach again, smiled, turned and went into the house.

After Bai Beibei put the things at home, he went to the vegetable field. The chrysanthemum chrysanthemum was growing very well, and it seemed that it would be ready to eat in two days.

The soil in the field was slightly wet, it must be that Mother had watered the Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum, and Bai Beibei returned to the house and asked Feng Shi: "Mother, is there anyone coming to ask for water today?"

"No." Feng looked at her daughter suspiciously, "Why do you ask that?"

What Bai Beibei didn't know was that when those rich people went out, there would be enough water and food in the carriage, so they didn't come home to ask for water.

"It's nothing, I just asked casually." Bo Beibei just smiled and said, "Mom, I'll call Mancang back for dinner."

Before Bo Beibei could finish walking, she saw that the figures on the beach had already walked towards the entrance of the village, and the entourages were still carrying heavy cloth bags in their hands.

"Master, it's getting dark soon, shall we go back at night?" the little servant asked his master.

After discussing the peace with several other young masters, the young master said, "Go to Baogang town for one night first, and then come to collect shells tomorrow."

Bo Beibei watched them get into the carriage, and the smile on his lips became more obvious.

In the evening, Bo Beibei told Feng's plan: "Mother, there may be some outsiders coming to the beach during this period, and they will definitely need to eat and drink. I want to build a shed in front of our house for people to rest." , eat, and earn a little money."

The opportunity came for my mother to show off her culinary skills.

"How do you know someone from outside will come?" Feng Shi asked.

"Mother, when I went to call Mancang just now, I met several noble people, and I overheard what they said." Bai Beibei didn't dare to tell her mother that she attracted those people.

Feng Shi thought for a while, and said with some hesitation: "If there is really money to be made, it's not impossible, I'm afraid they don't bother to come to us to rest."

Based on Feng's understanding of those children from rich families, they are very noble and care about the distinction between high and low, she was afraid that the joy would end in vain.

"Mother, you can rest assured about this, I will let them come over." Bo Beibei said with a sly smile.

"But your elder brother and your uncle and second uncle are not at home, how do you set up this shed?" Feng Shi was worried again.

"Mother, I'll go to the town to invite people over tomorrow." I'm afraid no one will build a shed if I have money, but it's not the right time for my brother and uncle to go out to sea, otherwise she has another plan.
