Chapter 177

"I know that shopkeeper, but that person is more honest. I don't know how much it can be better. Just do your best!"

Liang Shuyan and the county magistrate, look at me and I look at you. In order to break the awkward atmosphere, Liang Shuyan said with a smile: "By the way, it will be the old woman's birthday in a few days. I don't know if you have anything." arrange?"

The county magistrate smiled awkwardly: "Speaking of this matter, I really have no arrangements. In the past, when Zhao Heng was at home, he would always yell about eating this, eating that, and where to go to play every few days? Now he is at your house. , the old lady and I are the only ones left at home, and we feel that everything we eat is the same!"

The county magistrate complained in his heart: If Zhao Heng's mother was still alive, he would definitely buy things in a big way, decorate his home, and send out invitations. Now he is the only one left. The county government needs someone to take care of it, and the old lady is also old. Sorry, I am powerless!
Liang Shuyan glanced at him and found that the county magistrate seemed to have something on his mind.

"Sir, why don't I ask Zhao Heng to go back these two days to help take care of things at home. After the old lady's birthday, Zhao Heng can come back if he wants to come. It is estimated that our house will be built by then."

The county magistrate nodded: "That's not bad. You, Zhao Henglai, can't change well. Now you know how to help me when you come back. You know how to ask his grandma if she has eaten? I need to thank you for all these."

Liang Shuyan laughed: "Actually, when Zhao Heng is in our house, I don't say much about him. Maybe it's because of my influence. Dashan is a steady and timid person, so he knows what he should and shouldn't do at home. There are some, maybe Zhao Heng learned it from Dashan."

The wheels of the carriage made a sound of turning, and they arrived soon.

There is a place in the west of the city. If you walk about 500 meters south, you can see several rows of brick and tile houses. A huge sign hangs at the door with the four characters "Qingfeng Stone" written on it. It is not a very wide place, with about It looks like five or six acres of land.

The surrounding area is tied up with barbed wire, and there are carved stones on it, as well as ordinary triangular stones used as foundations.

There is a small house in the direction of the door.

Hearing the sound of someone talking, a middle-aged man walked out of the small house, wearing a tile-blue coat with patches on it. When he saw the magistrate, he came up to him with a smile.

"Hey, isn't this the county magistrate? Are you looking for Shopkeeper Shi?"

The county magistrate nodded: "Yes, is Shopkeeper Shi here? Please show me the way!"

The man agreed enthusiastically, then turned around to open the door, led a dog away, and politely led the magistrate and his party to a small house on the left.

"Shopkeeper, the county magistrate is here!"

Soon, the door opened. A middle-aged man, about 50 years old, was wearing a gray robe. You could tell at a glance that the person in front of you was Shopkeeper Shi.

"Oh, the county magistrate is here. I really didn't expect it. It's just that the humble abode seems a bit messy. Please don't take it off, the magistrate!"

"No problem! No problem!"

Shopkeeper Shi politely invited everyone to sit down at a table by the window, and then poured a cup of hot tea before sitting down. "Sir, do you want to buy rocks?"

The county magistrate smiled and said: "Yes, this is a friend of this county who wants to buy some stones for foundation. See if there are any suitable ones and give some recommendations. Of course, the price should not be too high!"

Shopkeeper Shi then set his sights on Liang Shuyan: "You are Director Jin's mother, right? I met her when I was in the martial arts gym. Last time I wanted my youngest son to go to the martial arts gym. But then If something happens in the martial arts hall, the children will not be allowed to go."

Liang Shuyan raised her eyebrows: "What is the shopkeeper talking about?"

"Didn't that gym director almost take the martial arts gym as his own? The old general struggled to open a martial arts gym in his life, but he didn't expect that it would fall into the hands of thieves, so I didn't let that person My son is gone!"

Liang Shuyan was startled, thinking it was something about Jin Erniu. Since it was this matter, it didn't matter.

"Thank you. I am Shopkeeper Jin's mother. Now that the martial arts school has returned to the hands of our old Jin family, why don't you let your son go to the martial arts school to learn martial arts?"

"Haha, the child's uncle just came back from the military camp. He had nothing to do, so he asked me to teach him. I'm going to go a step further and talk about the stones for the foundation. Take a look at the stones in our yard, because they were damaged during the processing. If it’s a little damaged, the customer won’t want it and the deposit will be refunded, so if possible, I’ll give you a cheaper price.”

As he spoke, shopkeeper Shi led Liang Shuyan and others to a large open space. He pointed at a stone with white corners in front of him and said, "These are the stones. If you need them, one party will give you 200 Wen. There are also The cost of materials and workers’ wages, so Xiang Zhengxing charges you a little more, and since it was brought by the county magistrate, I don’t dare to sell you more money!”

A better stone on the market costs 500 yuan per square. This price is indeed very reasonable. Liang Shuyan nodded and agreed without thinking.

"Okay, in that case, we are responsible for door-to-door delivery, you just need to sign the order and pay here!"

Shopkeeper Shi was a straight-tempered man and did not mince words when he spoke. Liang Shuyan admired it very much. She turned around and took a look at the sand and then touched it with her hands. She found that her brother had full grains and the color was between blue and gray, which she also liked. Color, so he then asked: "Shopkeeper Shi, since I bought it from you, I would like to ask how to sell these sand and stones. I want to use this to build a yard. How much does it cost per square meter?"

"Well, this is more expensive. It costs 850 yuan per side. It is usually used for window sills and steps. You, you want to use it for the yard?"

The magistrate's eyes bulged, and he began to wonder: "How much money does this woman have? How can she squander it like this? This is top-quality sand, how can ordinary people afford it? Even if It is used by rich people, and it is only used to make small steps and window sills. She, she actually wants this to be used as a yard. For such a big yard, this is a big expense?"

Liang Shuyan looked around at the surprised eyes of the people around her, and then burst into laughter: "What's wrong? Do you think I have no money, or do you think I'm not worthy?"

Jin Dashan was so frightened that his legs trembled: "Mom, for such a big yard, you need at least two square meters of stones, which is 850 yuan per square meter. That adds up, mother!"

"Of course, why, do you really think I can't even add these two numbers?"
