Chapter 82 Buy, buy, buy
Liu Pan'er took out the remaining copper coins from his purse. His family owed the carpenter Li Dageng a lot of copper coins. Each basket cost six cents. Last time Liu Pan'er bought ten, which is sixty cents. Including bamboo
The beds cost thirty cents each, so Liu Paner bought four, which equaled one hundred and twenty cents, adding up to one hundred and eighty cents.
Liu Pan'er counted one hundred and eighty coins, ten coins in a string, a total of eighteen strings, and put them in a basket to return to Li Dageng's family.
Originally, the basket cost one kilogram of rice or one kilogram of noodles, according to the conversion in his hometown, but rice here is very expensive, so Liu Paner thought it would be cost-effective to pay directly.
"Dabao, come on, come with me to pay back the money." Liu Pan'er said to Li Dabao who had just woken up. He owed money and always felt inferior. If he paid back the money earlier, he would feel relieved.
What Liu Pan'er hates most in her life is the kind of people who don't pay back their debts, especially the kind of people who obviously have money but still don't pay back the money.
Such people have such bad character that if you find one, you will have to break up with the other.
"Okay, wait for me and I'll wash my face." Li Dabao replied with a smile. Now his mother will take him with her whenever she has something to do.
Li Dabao feels that he has a heavy responsibility. His father is not at home. If he is older, he will be the head of the family.
Ms. Liu had long been coveted for those cloths, "Third brothers and sisters, let's call Aunt Cuihua over quickly and separate the cloths from the two families. I can also make clothes for the children earlier."
Liu Pan'er nodded, "Okay, sister-in-law, go and ask Aunt Cuihua to come over. Give them twenty feet of each of the two kinds of cloth, and the rest is ours."
"Okay, I'll tell Auntie right now." Mrs. Liu smiled happily and couldn't wait to go out and find Zhou Cuihua next door.
Li Rong brought over a basket filled with rags of silk and satin, "Mom, what do you want to use the strips of cloth here?"
Liu Pan'er smiled and said: "I'll make you a headdress, a big piece, and a purse for you. Or whatever you want to do, you can do it yourself."
Li Fang and Li Li looked envious, but did not dare to tell their third aunt.
Liu Pan'er saw this and asked with a smile: "Afang and Ali, what color do you like? Choose it yourself, don't be polite to the third aunt."
Hearing this, Li Fang and Li Li ran over, beaming, "Thank you, third aunt!"
By the time Liu Pan'er and Li Dabao left, the three little sisters had already started picking rags and discussing what to do.
Seeing that her daughter and nieces were happy, Liu Paner lowered her head and smiled.
Keep getting better, this is life!
When we arrived at Li Dageng's house, Li Dageng was weaving baskets with his sons.
Dageng's daughter-in-law saw Liu Pan'er coming, she quickly put down the pot in her hand, came up to her, and asked with a smile: "From Yuan Qing's family, I heard that your melons are selling well, please leave some good seeds for me this year."
.But I won’t let you give it for free, I’ll give you a basket in exchange.”
Liu Pan'er likes people like this. It doesn't matter if they get a little advantage, but they can't do it with nothing.
"Okay, Auntie." Liu Pan'er agreed, lifting an old cloth on the basket to reveal the copper coins in the basket, "Uncle Dageng, Auntie, our baskets used to be based on one kilogram of rice, or six cents."
One piece of money, I chose to give the money, and as a coincidence, I also invited my aunt and uncle Dageng, so don’t think I took advantage."
The Dageng daughter-in-law's eyes lit up when she saw the copper coins in the small half basket, and she quickly figured out that the price of rice was higher than six cents.
The Dageng daughter-in-law smiled and said, "Your Dageng uncle went to buy baskets before, and they were at this price, six cents each. Rice is more expensive. It's reasonable for you to give me this. You can't say you're taking advantage of my family."
When Liu Pan'er heard this, she was also very happy, "Auntie, please count and point out clearly. Our two families will no longer owe debts, but you have to remove my family from your family's account."
Dageng's daughter-in-law was not polite. She brought the basket and counted the money in front of her. It was exactly one hundred and eighty cents, "Just right! I'll cross it out for you right now."
Because many people came to Li Dageng's house to get credit, and they were illiterate, so they used stupid methods.
Liu Paner's house was replaced by a knife painted on the wooden board by Dageng's daughter-in-law; the village chief's house was a circle; the shapes of other houses were different.
Although this counting method is clumsy, it can still be used.
In front of Liu Pan'er, Dageng's wife crossed out the debt.
Before leaving, Dageng's daughter-in-law stopped Liu Pan'er and handed over a small rolling pin, "It's from Yuan Qing's family, don't leave. This is a small rolling pin made by our boss. It's very good for rolling out dumpling wrappers. Take it."
.”
Liu Paner's eyes lit up, she really liked eating dumplings, "Auntie, how much do they cost?"
Dageng's daughter-in-law waved her hands repeatedly, "If you don't want any money, I'll give this to you as a gift from my aunt. If it's not a big rolling pin, my aunt won't be able to give it to you. If you want it, you have to buy it."
Liu Pan'er saw the big rolling pins that had just been made not far away and nodded, "Okay, Auntie, I don't have any money with me. I'll buy a big rolling pin next time."
Li Dabao really liked eating noodles, so he reminded Liu Pan'er in a low voice, "Mom, we don't have a table at home, just a cutting board. We can't roll noodles."
After hearing this, Liu Pan'er shook her head and laughed, "Look at me, I forgot about this. Uncle Dageng, how much does it cost to make a table?"
Dageng’s daughter-in-law wishes Liu Paner could buy more things, because only Liu Paner’s family has money. If she gives money when she buys things, her family can also live a good life. “It’s not expensive, a three-foot table costs two hundred and twenty.”
Ten cents."
Liu Pan'er felt that three feet was a bit small. After all, there were not only her family of five, but also three sisters-in-law. "Aunt, you make me a four-foot table, and I will give you three hundred coins. Is that okay?"
Dageng's daughter-in-law couldn't make up her mind and looked at her husband who was working not far away, "The head of the house, with three hundred coins, can you make a four-foot table?"
Li Dageng laughed and said, "My nephew-in-law bought so many things from our family, and we can do it at this price. However, the wood will need to be stored for a while, and the table can be finished in seven days."
Liu Pan'er nodded, "Okay, anyway, I need a table at home. If I buy it earlier, I can use it sooner. I don't have any money now. I'll pay for the table when I sell melons next time."
The daughter-in-law of Dageng was polite and said, "I'm not in a hurry for money. I'll give it to you whenever you have it."
"Then I'll thank you uncle and aunt first!" Liu Pan'er said a few more polite words and left with Li Dabao.
Passing by the home of stonemason Li Shitou, Liu Paner took Li Dabao in.
Li Dabao asked curiously: "Mom, what are we going to do?"
Liu Pan'er replied: "I'm going to order a small stone mill from the mason. It can be used to make tofu, rice cakes, and other uses."
When Li Dabao heard that it was delicious, he immediately agreed, "Then let's prepare it early. I'll wait for my mother to cook something delicious for us."
Li Shijiang's wife greeted Liu Pan'er with great enthusiasm.
Now in the entire Lijia Village, who doesn’t know that Liu Paner is the God of Wealth?
If you make friends with such a capable and knowledgeable person, you will gain benefits and not suffer any disadvantages.
Finally, Liu Pan'er bought a stone mill with a diameter of two feet for twenty-sixty cents.
