husband and wife

Chapter 138

"It's just the two of us, just fry two dishes and make some soup. They will cook when they come back in the evening." Su Wan wanted to eat hot pot. In fact, she had wanted to eat it for a long time, but it was inconvenient at Song's house because there was no suitable place. Pot, she plans to borrow the name of the liquor store in the afternoon, and find out with Xiaolu on the street if there is a smaller stove and pot that can be carried on the table. If all goes well, she can have hot pot at night, Su Wan doesn't mind having it at noon lighter.

Su Wan really found the tools to eat hot pot. In a blacksmith shop, there are two floors in total. The bottom is a stove for charcoal fire, and the pot on the top looks rough, but it already has the prototype of a hot pot. Seen in Xiaolu Seeing something strange in shape, Su Wan's eyes lit up, and she walked in without hesitation.

The shop is blacksmithing, the stove is burning red, the whole shop is very hot, there are many utensils in front of it, I think the shop owner is very business-minded, unlike other blacksmith shops that only accept orders, but also make some finished products for sale. Seeing Su Wan coming to the door, the blacksmith's wife took a few glances inside, checked her attire, and immediately went up with a smile: "What utensils does this girl want to order?"

Su Wan didn't say it directly, but just smiled and said: "I see that the things here are quite fresh."

"Big sister really has eyesight." The blacksmith lady has been helping her husband in business all the year round, and she has already developed a pair of sharp eyes. Looking at Su Wan's expression and attire, she thinks she shouldn't be too entangled. She was seen before. Looking at the pots and utensils that eat the stove, I thought she was somewhat interested, so he also pulled her to the side of the pots and utensils, and said directly: "I am a neat person, just ask, big sister But look Hit this?"

"It doesn't look like it, I think it's a bit rare." Su Wan smiled casually, but her heart was clear. The south of here, I think it is Guangdong, and that area also likes to eat hot pot, clear soup, the taste does not belong to spicy pot.

The blacksmith lady covered her lips with a smile, opened her mouth and poured it out like a bamboo tube: "I saw that the girl is discerning. If so, the origin of this thing is not simple. That day, the magistrate's wife personally sent a maid to take a blueprint. Come to ask my family to call and send it. The magistrate’s natal family is from the south. If you want to eat food from your natal family, no wonder we don’t have it here. Even this pot is not simple. Bone broth, pour it into the pot with hot charcoal under the pot, put the vegetables, radish slices, potato slices, meat slices, etc., cook it and eat it, if you like spicy food, add chili pepper, or I put soy sauce, vinegar and chili powder in a small dish, dip the cooked vegetables in the dish, and the taste is not to mention how fragrant. The magistrate’s stove pot is ready, so I asked my family to make one for myself Eat, even my youngest son who doesn’t like cabbage ate a lot of cabbage leaves. My family said that such a delicious thing can’t just be used for home use, so they made a set and sold it in the store, but there are many people who ask. But there are not many girls who know the goods like girls, and they left after hearing the price."

"Isn't it cheap to come to this set of pots?"

The blacksmith lady said with a smile: "One penny is one penny. Is this the right thing to say? I see you wearing this outfit, you can buy two or three sets of pots, and you can only eat it when you buy it home. You can only praise it. How can you care about the price?"

"Eldest sister's words are so nice, I can't do it if I don't join in." Seeing that Su Wanguang really wanted to buy it after hearing the words of the blacksmith lady, Xiaolu couldn't help pulling Su Wan's sleeve beside her, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" The corolla she wears is a popular style brought back from the capital. The price is very high. Such a black and autumnal outfit costs half the price of your outfit? This is too deceitful, isn’t it all pots, the family can feed dozens of people I don’t need this price for the big iron pot, and besides, we have never used this thing before, who knows if it’s good? Let’s think about it again..."

Su Wan also knew that the price of the blacksmith lady was exaggerated, and she was willing to use it herself, so how could she charge such a high price?The cookware is worth buying, but it's not worth the price. When Xiaolu said it, she really hesitated: "According to what you said, it's really a loss to buy it..."

Seeing that the young lady was hesitating, Xiaolu was overjoyed, and was about to make persistent efforts to persuade her. The blacksmith lady was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Don't be a stranger, big sister. We do business, and we have exchanges. How about you say a price? As long as I don’t let my eldest sister lose money, I’ll buy half and give you half!”

Su Wan didn't make a sound, Xiaolu knew that her lady didn't know how expensive firewood was, so she was afraid that she would raise the price, so she hurriedly said, "Such a little thing, at most six hundred Wen." It's fifty cents more than her monthly salary. Wen, Xiaolu felt that she was very kind in counter-offering.

The blacksmith lady almost didn't lose her face, she just ignored Xiaolu and turned her head to look at Su Wan: "Big girl, if you really want to buy it, we won't lie, it's a one-buy price, two liang of silver, and it happens that I still have charcoal at home. I will give you a catty of charcoal for free, and it happens that this pot also needs to burn charcoal, what do you think?"

Su Wan glanced at Xiaolu, Xiaolu knew the color, and immediately said: "A catty of charcoal is at most fifteen yuan to less than twenty yuan, this pot is not worth the price, you know two taels of silver, our family is in the county It’s enough for the flowers, and it also includes the pen and ink expenses of my aunt and young master!”

Su Wan only needs to display her acting skills, acting as if she has no idea what the servant girl says and listens to whatever she says. The blacksmith lady is not in a hurry when she sees that her business is about to fail. She argues with Xiaolu for a long time, and finally The blacksmith lady took a step back and agreed to send an extra two catties of charcoal. Xiaolu was still dissatisfied. She didn't know the price of the pot, but she felt that it was not worth it. But the blacksmith's lady's complexion began to fade, thinking it was a low price, Su Wan observed her words, and finally smiled at this moment: "If it is more expensive, let it be more expensive, after all, it is the magistrate's favorite food, let's go back and try something new."

Xiaolu heard what the young lady said, so she stopped talking. My own young lady usually likes to imitate those official ladies and wives. It is not too much to spend a tael of silver on something useless. It's over, and my wife knows it when she thinks about it.He paid the money obediently and took out the things.
