It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 118 Buying Furniture (March [-])

"Chendong, Ya girl, good morning. What are you doing so early?"

"Good morning, Uncle Chang Le."

Su Chendong put down the pannier he was carrying, "My mother made some favorite dishes, let Ya'er and I deliver them to Yi'er."

Su Changle nodded, "Then don't walk, I just want to send Rui girl to the county seat, so I just take you with me."

Su Chendong, "Will this be too troublesome?"

Su Changle waved his hand, "What's the trouble, it just happened to go all the way."

Seeing what Su Chendong wanted to say, Su Ya hurriedly stopped him, "Thank you, Uncle Chang Le."

Su Changle didn't see Su Yala Su Chendong, but just nodded.

When Su Changle helped put the basket into the carriage, Su Chendong held Su Ya and walked a few steps aside, and asked her in a low voice.

"Why did you pull me just now?"

Su Ya looked at him, "If I don't pull you, will you refuse again?"

Su Chendong, "Well, it's not good to trouble others."

Su Ya sighed, since the great changes happened in the family, the eldest brother has become timid, looking forward and backward in everything.

"Brother, if Uncle Chang Le thought it was troublesome, he wouldn't invite us to travel together. It can be said that you are humble if you refuse once, but if you refuse again and again, it will only make people think that you don't know what to do."

Su Chendong "...Is that so?"

Su Ya nodded affirmatively.

Su Chendong fell into deep thought, is it really bad for him to be like this?

At this time, Su Rui and Meng Mingzhou had already come out, and Su Ya no longer cared about Su Chendong, she stepped forward and said to Su Rui.

"Sister Rui, brother and I will take your mule cart today, please forgive me."

Su Rui got into the mule cart first, and then smiled and pulled Su Ya into the mule cart, "What's the trouble with me, the mule is pulling us, not me, if you feel embarrassed, help me in the future The mule cuts two bales of hay for extra meal."

Su Ya also smiled, "Okay."

Ever since she got acquainted with Su Rui, she found that Su Rui sometimes liked to joke with them, and could make them laugh every time. Even her mother is happy every day now, and she looks forward to cooking It's applesauce time!
When he arrived at the county seat, Su Changle put him at the gate of "Su Ji" and was about to go back. He had to bring applesauce and honey beans before noon.

But Su Rui and Meng Mingzhou first went to send the Su Ya brothers and sisters to the door of the "Cao's Wine Shop", and then confessed to Su Ya.

"Sister Ya'er, we will go back after lunch, when you go to "Su Ji", we will go back together in a mule cart, so you don't have to walk back."

Su Ya nodded, "Okay, we must go there early."

Su Rui patted her, "Why are you going so early? You just have lunch and chat with Sister Yi'er for half an hour before going."

Su Ya smiled and nodded, "Okay, I see, you guys go get busy."

There are only two furniture sellers in the entire county, and one of them only sells ordinary tables and chairs. Su Rui didn't like it, so she passed it directly and went to the next one.

There are several red-painted toilets at the door of this furniture store. Su Rui was moved when she saw it, and thought of the pain she suffered when going to the toilet in winter, thinking that she must buy a few more buckets later, at least One for each room, so you don’t have to go out at night in winter.

Walking into the furniture store, Su Rui was almost blinded by the red lacquered furniture all over the room. Although the ancients liked red, it is not necessary for all the furniture to be red, right?
Su Rui didn't know what to choose, after all, all these furniture were similar in her eyes.

"Cousin Mingzhou, you choose the main room and you and Ming Xu, the furniture in Chen Rui's room, right? I'll choose the one in the backyard."

Meng Mingzhou nodded, walked in first, looked around for a while, and found that it was just ordinary mahogany with a layer of red paint on it. It looked festive, but it was actually not worth much. You must know that the real good wood is shipped from Vietnam and Laos. Those who go to Yuncheng are worth thousands of gold, and the supply is in short supply, so there must be no such small places.

He chose for a while, and felt that the long desk and chest of drawers in front of him were good, so he called Su Rui over.

"Sister Rui, look at this long desk. It can be placed on top of the two chests of drawers of the same color. On the desk, you can place an incense burner tablet. Under the desk, you can put a dining table. In the cabinets on both sides, you can put food, candies, etc. As for the chairs and benches for the main seats on both sides of the desk, it’s best to have a set as well.”

The clerk said at the side, "Guest officer, don't worry, we have a dozen of furniture in our house. We have all the tables, chairs and benches. Even if we don't have any, we can make them for you."

Su Rui looked satisfied, and gave Meng Mingzhou a thumbs up. Meng Mingzhou smiled, these are just the most common furnishings.

"Then what are the prices of this long desk and chest of drawers?"

Xiao Er saw that there was a show, and immediately said: "Guest officer, the long desk is three taels, the chest of drawers is three and a half, the chair is one and a half, and the bench is eight hundred."

Su Rui frowned, because they are children, so they are going to be killed?

"Why is it so expensive? Another parent's case is only [-] Wen."

The clerk knew that Su Rui thought it expensive, so he hurriedly explained with a smile: "I don't know what the guest officer is. We are all made of mahogany. Mahogany is a wood that we don't have in this place. It is all shipped from the south. And you are looking at This lacquer surface can shine even if it is bright, because the wood is red, so it only needs to be painted with a thin layer of varnish, and it will be enough.”

Su Rui was surprised. This mahogany, which is worth tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars in modern times, was so cheap in ancient times. Forgive her for her ignorance at the beginning, but she still thought it was expensive, but it was actually not expensive at all, let alone three taels Yes, she wants even ten taels.

The clerk thought that Su Rui didn't want it anymore, so he thought about it and said: "Guest officer, the furniture made of this mahogany will not be deformed, infested with insects, not cracked, and will still have a delicate fragrance."

Afraid that she might not believe it, the clerk hurriedly opened a drawer and signaled Su Rui to smell it, "Come and smell it, does it have a delicate fragrance?"

Su Rui probed her head as she said, took a deep breath, and really smelled a fragrance.

She remembered that in modern times, she went to the leader's house to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year. The leader's house also had mahogany furniture, which smelled the same way, but it was more obvious without this smell.

She thought that she couldn't afford a whole room of mahogany furniture in modern times, so it would be fine to have a whole room in ancient times.

"Okay, I want two long tables, four chests of drawers, a dining table, two Eight Immortals tables, four chairs, sixteen stools, and the Kang table. Well, I'll count how many I want first."

"One, three, five, eight more, and eight toilets, then eight wardrobe cabinets, two cupboards, four more desks, and four chairs to match the desks."

The buddy quickly took a brush and wrote down one by one.

"Guest officer, is there anything else you need?"
