"Sister-in-law Yi, did you also make such a big bed?"
Lu Daniu was in charge of driving the cattle cart, and Lu Erniu sat beside him.
Mu Siyu took Lu Zhiyun to sit in the back of the bullock cart.
"yes!"
"It's really amazing! I don't think the old carpenter in the city has such skills as you. Sister-in-law Yi, the person who taught you carpentry must be the god of craftsmanship!"
"I don't know if he is a craftsman. Anyway, this is how you learn things. The master leads you in, and you practice on your own. After you learn the master's craftsmanship, you have to think more and make your own style."
"Er Niu and I are both farmers and don't understand these things. But Brother Yi is the smartest in our village, so he can definitely understand."
Lu Zhiyun lay on Mu Siyu's lap, eyes wide open, looking at the blue sky and white clouds above.
"Mom, look at the clouds... one moment they turn into horses, the next moment they turn into mountains, it's so interesting..."
It was her first time riding a bullock cart and it felt very strange.
The ox cart arrived at the city gate, and the guard guard was about to collect the entrance fee when he was suddenly tapped on the shoulder by the captain next to him.
The team leader responsible for guarding the city gate smiled at Mu Siyu and said, "Sister-in-law of the Lu family, go in! There's no need to take it, Mr. Lu has taken it."
Mu Siyu looked at the team leader in surprise: "Do you know me?"
"Last time you went to see Mr. Lu, I happened to be looking for my brother. Oh, my brother is Gao Yayi."
"Oh, it turns out he is Gao Yamen's brother. No wonder you look so similar." Mu Siyu took out three big bags from the backpack beside her: "This is the food I made myself. You can share it with the brothers."
Thank you for being exposed to wind and sun like this every day, thank you very much."
"What the hell... how embarrassing is that?" He said how embarrassed he was, but his hand was honest and he put it away without politeness.
The bullock cart drove into the city.
Lu Zhiyun raised her little face and looked at Mu Siyu: "Mom, a pack of meat like this costs more than ten cents. If you give away three packs, it's almost fifty cents. Even if we pay the city fee, it's only four cents. It's such a loss.
Already."
"Little money lover, how can you plan so well? It seems that he will be a good steward in the future."
Mu Siyu scratched the tip of Lu Zhiyun's nose.
"Sister-in-law Yi, Yun'er is right, this is such a loss." Lu Erniu touched his head.
"Dad Yun'er is now working as a clerk in the county government. It sounds like an official, but there are dozens of people holding this position. He is also the clerk in charge of the Criminal Department. That position is the easiest to offend people. For me
It's just a few bags of food, but if these people accept my favor, they will be able to open a convenient door for Yun'er's father in the government office in the future."
She can't guarantee that everyone will accept her favor. Even if only one or two of these people accept her favor, even if they just inform them of something in advance, it might be a turning point.
Lu Zhiyun seemed to understand but not quite.
Lu Daniu and Lu Erniu understood that everything Mu Siyu did was for Lu Yi. They secretly lamented that half a year ago they persuaded Lu Yi to divorce that 'lazy woman', but they didn't expect that she would become so virtuous now.
Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel guilty.
Sister-in-law Yi probably didn’t know that the two of them had encouraged Brother Yi, right?
"This bed can only be accommodated by a carpenter's shop. Are we going to the carpenter's shop now?"
"No, market."
The carpenter's shop can indeed take it, and she believes they want to take it. But selling it to the carpenter's shop, and then selling the carpenter's shop to the customer is equivalent to an unreasonable extra middleman's fee, so why bother?
The bullock cart stopped at the market.
The brothers moved the big bed down.
Such a big object attracted the attention of many people when it first arrived at the market. However, when they saw that it was a bed, not many people paid attention. After all, this thing is not cheap and cannot be afforded by ordinary people.
"This is the first time I saw someone selling beds at the market." A rich middle-aged man stopped. "My dear lady, you won't move your bed out, will you?"
"Sir, this bed looks brand new, how could it be used? Besides, if such a beautiful bed is really mine, I would be reluctant to sell it! Look at this carving and the picture of pine and crane, isn't it?
Is it very auspicious? There is also this secret compartment. How many things can you put in it? Just set the password as I said, and no one can open it except you."
The middle-aged man became interested.
There are many good-looking beds, but this is the first time I have seen these hidden compartments on the bed. Looking at those hidden compartments, they sound interesting.
"What if someone demolishes it by force?"
"Master, please listen carefully and come here. I'll tell you a secret..."
The middle-aged man came over.
Mu Siyu said a few words.
The middle-aged man's eyes lit up after hearing this.
It turns out that this bed actually has a mechanism. One mechanism is a self-destruct mode, which can destroy important things hidden inside. The other is a warning mode, which can put anesthetic needles in it to trap people.
"If I don't like this model, I can customize it for you according to your requirements, but I will go to your house to see the scene and discuss the details with you."
"I want this bed." Two voices sounded at the same time.
Mu Siyu raised her head and looked at the two people talking doubtfully.
They were two girls wearing curtain hats.
"Mrs. Lu." One of them came over and raised his hat: "Long time no see."
"Second Miss Zheng." Mu Siyu recognized Zheng Shuyu: "It's been a long time indeed."
These few times, the guys from Lingyunge went to her house to receive the goods. Indeed, it had been a long time since she had seen Zheng Shuyu.
"Ms. Zheng, I was attracted to this bed first." Another girl came over.
"Miss Li, if you want to say first come, first served, I came here first." Zheng Shuyu, who has always been polite to others, did not give in to this Miss Li.
"I want this bed." Li Hongshu said calmly: "You seem to know each other very well. You can ask her to make another one for you."
"I want this one." Zheng Shuyu refused to compromise.
"Wait a moment." Mu Siyu interrupted the dispute between the two. "Thank you two ladies for taking a liking to my craftsmanship. But don't you ask me the price?"
"I want it at any price." Zheng Shuyu smiled. "Mrs. Lu, we are old acquaintances. You know my character. As long as I like something, I will not be stingy with the price."
"Fifty taels." Mu Siyu said, "The value of this bed is fifty taels."
Although both ladies thought that this bed would not be cheap, they did not expect that it would be so expensive at fifty taels.
"Mrs. Lu, I know you are not a talkative person. This bed costs fifty taels. I don't understand its value." Zheng Shuyu said.
Mu Siyu pressed the head of the bed.
The bed that was originally lying flat actually rose automatically, rising higher and higher. It turned out that the height of the bed could be adjusted. Not only that, but the height of the pillow position could also be adjusted so that people could lean on it and read a book.
She then opened the thin board in the middle, and when the thin boards on both sides were opened, it could be made into a simple desk. In other words, if you want to write a few words and read a book on the bed, you can do it.
"This is interesting." The middle-aged man said, "Sixty taels, I want it."
The middle-aged man didn't wait for the two ladies to speak, and argued: "Miss, please tell me that the picture of this bed is suitable for the elderly. You can tell by looking at the pine crane. In addition, this design is more convenient for taking care of the elderly.
.I have an eighty-year-old mother who is paralyzed in bed all year round. If there is such a bed, she can move a little bit, and it will be much more convenient to feed her in bed."
If it was just a hidden compartment, he would just be tempted. Now that these two designs are added, he is really tempted. This not only makes it convenient to take care of the elderly, but also gives them a place to store their important things.
Zheng Shuyu and Li Hongshu looked at each other and raised their heads at the same time, acquiescing.
