Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 12 Buying Tiles

The bullock cart traveled for more than an hour before reaching Shiwan.

Passing by Shiwan Village, turning into a fork, and walking for about a quarter of an hour, I saw a large exposed loess field ahead.

In the middle is a wide flat ground, one side is the entrance, and the other side is stacked high with many fired bricks and tiles. On the other two sides, seven or eight kiln mouths, large and small, are dug along the ridge, and piles of piles are stacked next to the kiln mouth. Yellow mud, brick molds, firewood for kilns, wooden barrels, wooden basins, shovel, carts, etc.Five or six workers wearing short brown patches are busy.

Seeing them coming, the owner Shi Lao Cai came over with his sleeves in his sleeves and smiled, and said, "This old man, are you here to buy bricks or tiles?"

Li Damu smiled and said: "My neighbor's roof needs to be repaired, so I came here to buy some tiles."

"Oh, please come here, please! The clay I use here is good, the kiln or the kiln is the best quality, durable, and the price is reasonable! Haha!" Shi Lao Cai led them with a smile The tiles piled aside walked.

Lian Fangzhou laughed and said, "Of our three rooms, one and a half need to be replaced with new tiles, and the other one and a half need to be replaced. There are two rooms in total! About fifty square meters in total. ! You can calculate how much you need in total."

As she spoke, she smiled shyly, and said: "We don't want much, and I'm too embarrassed to talk to you about the price! You can just make a fair price! When you build a new house in the future, come to you again!"

Lian Fangzhou speaks clearly, speaks fluently, speaks clearly and plainly, and stuns the old stone.

Shi Laoshi couldn't help but narrowed his eyes to look at the girl in front of him. She was fourteen or fifteen years old, she was slightly thin, and she wore old and clean burlap floral clothes. His face was thin, but his eyes were bright and small. With a slight smile on her lips, she combs the slings common to little country girls, neatly and neatly, and the whole person has a spirit of energy, which makes people can't help but feel good when they see it.

Shi Laozai couldn't help but laughed. He looked at Lian Fangzhou and said a few "good" words, and smiled with a thumbs up: "This girl is really a smart, refreshing and smart person. Haha, I don't know who is so lucky. , There is such a good daughter! I'm successful, just say that to you, father, I can hear it comfortably, I will give you the lowest price, and the best things for you!"

"Then thank Boss Shi!" Lian Fangzhou nodded with a smile.

Lian Ze had seen Lian Fangzhou's tongue in the past two days, and didn't feel anything, but Li Damu was just like Shi Lao Cai, dumbfounded!

Lian Fangzhou's performance just now completely subverted her impression in his mind.

If it wasn't a person or that person, and his appearance had not changed at all, and Lian Ze was beside him, he almost doubted, is the girl in front of him really Lian Fangzhou?

Li Damu sighed secretly: It seems that the incident of the Yang family retiring and the Hua family's daughter-in-law has really stimulated this girl too much!

Shi Laocai smiled and said "you're welcome." Suddenly he was teasing, and then smiled to Lian Fangzhou: "Little girl, my tile is so big. If you can figure out how many pieces are needed, I Just give you another 20% cheaper, how about?"

Lian Fangzhou's eyes flashed, but he smiled: "How can I be so accurate? Don't be kidding me."

Shi Lao Cai waved his hand, and slid his beard, which was neither long nor short, and smiled: "I'm not joking, I'm serious! Hehe, who can count as good, as long as the difference is the same, you will win!"

Looking at Shi Laozai's interesting eyes, Lian Fangzhou thought for a while, then nodded and smiled politely: "If this is the case, then I will show my ugliness. If I'm not accurate, you guys, don't laugh at me! "

Shi Lao Cai chuckled and said, "No, no, let's take a look."

The working workers heard that when seeing a little girl like Lian Fangzhou, she could actually count. They couldn't help but stopped working with curiosity to watch the excitement, chatting in whispers.

Lian Fangzhou took a piece of tile and used finger gestures to estimate the length and width to calculate the area. The ground is a thin layer of loess. She squatted down and squatted down with a thin branch. Up.

The workers had never seen Arabic numerals before, and they were very surprised to see her scratching on the ground with a "huh". One of them couldn't help but ask Shi Laocai: "Boss Shi, what is this little girl writing?"

"Yeah, what is this word? It's really strange!"

"No, I have never seen it before."

"I said, is this a character? How do I feel like a symbol painted by Zhang Tianshi in the Five Clouds View!"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

Seeing them making fun of Lian Fangzhou, Lian Ze couldn't help flushing, and said loudly, "My sister will do it if she dares to try! What are you laughing at? What's so funny!"

The crowd laughed louder when they heard it, and they laughed and teased Lian Ze.

Shi Lao Cai "cough cough" twice, and then it disappeared.

Lian Fangzhou smiled slightly, neither distinguishing nor embarrassed, but to allocate himself like water and flow.

In fact, this is a very simple math problem, but with two or three sentences, she has already calculated it and reported a number with a smile.At the same time, she stood up and wiped all traces on the ground with her feet.

"It's all right so soon?" Shi Lao Cai was dumbfounded, and everyone was stunned.

You don't need an abacus to settle accounts, and it's so fast, which is really evil!

"Boss, right, right!" Everyone talked and couldn't wait.

Shi Laocai glared: Did he know where?He has to calculate before he knows!

Without waiting for his instructions, some workers rushed to fetch the abacus and handed it to him.The crowd stared at him with countless eyes.

"Sister, are you sure of your calculation?" Lian Ze couldn't help but whispered to Lian Fangzhou.Li Damu also looked over with concern.

Lian Fangzhou didn't rush, glanced at Boss Shi who was flying away with the abacus beads, and smiled: "When Boss Shi has calculated it, you will know!"

Her unhurried expression and calm smile made the nervous Lian Ze feel relieved at once, and Lian Ze blurted out: "I believe that my sister must be right."

"Oh?" Lian Fangzhou was amused, "Why?"

Lian Ze stubbornly said: "I don't know, anyway, I just believe in my sister."

Lian Fangzhou nodded in satisfaction and smiled: "Good brother."

"God! Really amazing!" Shi Laocai looked at the numbers on the abacus and was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"Really accurate!"

"No! It's time!"

The workers were also surprised.

Li Damu and Lian Ze fell to the ground, and they laughed at each other, both happy for Lian Fangzhou.

Someone couldn't help but said, "Boss, would you like to do it again?"

Shi Laocai slapped the man on the back of the head, his eyes staring: "You are a killer! Why? I suspect that I am wrong!"

"It's not..." The man's face blushed, and he hurriedly denied it, causing everyone to laugh.

"What are you laughing at! Why don't you hurry to work!" Shi Lao Cai stared at everyone.

Everyone agreed, and couldn't help but look at Lian Fangzhou more and talked about it.

"Boss Shi, what you said just now can be regarded as something?" Li Damu smiled.

"Forget it! Of course it is!" Shi Laocai nodded very simply, and gave Lian Fangzhou a thumbs up: "Lian girl is really the smartest girl I have ever seen, really good! But, girl, you were just on the ground What are the gestures?"
