Guixi looked up at the wooden plaque on the facade, and then at the three large wooden cabinets in the shop, on which there were more than ten or twenty washboards neatly arranged in rows.

Although there are not many boards placed on each cabinet, they are very pleasing to the eye, simple and clear, and let people know which one they want at a glance.

He smiled at Xiu Niang, "Chu's Wooden Workshop... Hey, sister-in-law, is your shop open?"

Xiu Niang stood inside the counter, talking and walking out, "I originally planned to open it earlier, but it's just in time for your kid to come to pull the board. Didn't it just be postponed until today, but when I looked at Day, it opened well today."

Guixi curled her lips, "Hey, sister-in-law, you can't blame me for this. If you had mentioned earlier, I would have brought more people over today."

Xiu Niang looked at him and smiled, "What, bring more people over here? Brother Chu, you want to open the door for business, and you don't want to pull carts like you. Why do you need so many people?"

Guixi smiled, "Sister-in-law, you don't understand now, if I call more than a dozen people over here, and then go to smash two strings of firecrackers with [-] rings, hehe, I just want to go to this point, you will The shop must be lively like something, the people in the front street don’t crowd into you, I’m giving you a good appearance, and I guarantee you a good business!”

Xiuniang smiled, yes, it is up to you to make a successful opening this time, she nodded and said, "Well, what you said is right, a successful opening is certain, but, here, we don't make such a fuss like you Damn, if you light the firecrackers and run around, the neighbors will come and beat you up!"

Guixi was taken aback for a while, then looked outside, thought about it and smiled, this back alley is narrow, and the people doing business are close to each other, if he really wants to light two strings of [-]-shot firecrackers, That's not going to blow up, it's no wonder those shopkeepers don't come to settle their accounts.

Chu Ge took the last five washboards out of the backyard and watched them being loaded into Guixi's car. He stepped aside and clapped his hands. After looking at them, he counted them in his heart and said.

"Guixi, take a look, there are a total of one hundred and five, and I'll put the six that came out first for you."

"Hey, brother, what are you counting? I can't trust you two, can I, sister-in-law?" Guixi took a rope and tied it to the handlebar of the car, and said to Xiuniang who was standing at the door of the shop.

Xiuniang just smiled and didn't speak. This Guixi has been out and running for more than two years, but she has not grown up in anything, but her words are getting more and more agile. There are twenty washboards in the car, a total of [-] washboards. Chu Ge put the remaining six boards aside. Just now when Chu Ge was stacking the boards, Guixi was counting them. He knows how many boards there are in this car better than anyone else.

As Guixi said, he tied ropes on every row of washboards. He tied them more firmly this time, so that he would not be afraid of bumping when he was on the road.

He tied the end of the rope to the handlebars of the car, stretched out his hand to tighten the rope, and it looked tight, so he walked up to Chu Ge and Xiu Niang with a smile, and took out a money bag while talking.

"Brother, sister-in-law, I came here in a hurry a few days ago and didn't bring any money with me. Today I brought the money from the washboard cart last time... Sister-in-law, take the money and count it when you're done."

Xiu Niang glanced aside, waved her hands, and smiled, "Guixi, you know I don't care, so I won't give you the money, Brother Chu."

Guixi is a very clever person, and he knows what Xiuniang means when he hears it. He came to Chugo to pull the board early in the morning, and he pulled a whole car, which has already provoked the surrounding shopkeepers to go to the door to watch Well, if he handed over the silver to Xiuniang's sister-in-law this time, wouldn't that be a joke for others to see brother (Chu Ge), although brother and Xiuniang's sister-in-law get along well, but in this business, it is generally It is better for men to call the shots.

He said with a smile, "Hey, I was wrong this time, I was dazzled by looking at a car of boards just now... Hey, but, who is different between you two?"

Chu Ge just joked a few words with Guixi, took over the silver, and he almost touched it, knowing what he knew, so he packed the money bag.

Guixi went to the car and said to Chuge and Xiuniang, "Brother, sister-in-law, I have something to do, I'm leaving first."

Xiuniang thought about it and took a few steps forward to stop him, "Guixi, is your trip the same as before, and you have to go to the village to pick up the dog later?"

Guixi grabbed the hemp rope and said, "Well, yes, every time I go back to the village, I come with Gouzi, can I take turns to rest on the way, what's wrong, sister-in-law?"

Xiu Niang said, "It's nothing, I just want you to help me bring something back to the village."

Guixi readily agreed, "Chengli, sister-in-law, tell me, what do you want me to bring?"

Xiu Niang smiled and said, "Hey, it's really nothing. You go out in a while, and go to Lanzi Lane. Isn't there a pastry shop there? The glutinous rice cakes they make are the best in the town. Famous, the sixth sister-in-law asked me to bring some back for her, but I forgot about this favor, I want you to help me bring some back to her."

After hearing this, Guixi didn't immediately agree, but secretly complained that he agreed without asking anything. Although it's okay to help with some things, but he has to pull a mule cart to go to Lanzixiangkou. Go around most of the town, or give it away.

Xiuniang looked at Guixi, and before he could speak, she said again, "Guixi, when you go over later, don't forget to ask them for two copies. I went over with them yesterday. It's agreed, a piece of six catties, a piece of three catties, and the two pieces will be wrapped separately."

She said with a smile, "The six-pound share is for Mrs. Liu, and the three-pound share is for you. You and Gouzi are hungry on the way, so let's fill it up."

When Guixi heard this, she waved her hands in embarrassment, "Oh, sister-in-law, this, this is not going to work."

Chu Ge also came over and said, "Okay brother, that's it, you can't go to the village or the store on this road, if you're hungry, you really don't have much to buy, and you don't have the strength to go on your way."

Guixi looked at it and had no choice but to say, "Hey, thank you brother, sister-in-law."

Xiuniang suddenly remembered something, she said something to Guixi and ran back to the shop, she put it under the counter to search for a while, and came out holding a piece of red cloth, she watched and tore the red cloth away, gestured Then I'm going to put it on Guixi's car.

Guixi looked at it and said, "Hey, sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

Chu Ge was stunned when he saw Xiu Niang tearing the cloth away. He pointed to the red cloth and said, "Hey, Xiu Niang, did you take the wrong piece of red cloth, didn't you just give it away yesterday... ..."

Xiu Niang interrupted Chu Ge, and said to Gui Xi, "I'm looking for a piece of narrow cloth to cover the back of this car, so you can rest easy on your way later."

When Chu Ge said that just now, Guixi glanced subconsciously, and he saw words written on the narrow cloth, "Hey, sister-in-law, don't you want to hang it on the shop floor?"

Xiu Niang smiled, "Hey, what are you hanging on? Can you see if my facade can be hung?"

Guixi looked up, that's right, if this narrow cloth is hung up, it won't cover the wooden plaque.

While talking, Xiuniang surrounded Guixi's car with a narrow cloth, and said half-complainingly, "Hey, at the beginning, it was because you Brother Chu didn't figure it out, and ran to make such a piece of fabric. It was put away because it was useless, but it will come in handy today.”

Guixi and Chu Ge looked at Xiuniang chattering, while busy with her hands and feet, not to mention they couldn't even get in the conversation, Guixi murmured in his heart. Bu was tied to the car. If he drove this car to drive his way, it would be so ugly, and the key point would be to pay himself to death.

"Uh, here, sister-in-law Xiuniang, you'd better keep it for yourself, this narrow cloth of yours is also worth a lot of money."

Xiu Niang tied the red cloth to the rope, tied a strong knot, turned her head and said to Gui Xi generously, "Hey, you are quite a kid, how much is this cloth worth?"

Guixi continued to persuade, "Sister-in-law, I think, you'd better stop working, I, I can drive a good car, I tied the ropes tightly, this washboard won't fall off."

Xiuniang said, "Hey, Brother Guixi, you don't know, I went to the entrance of Lanzi Lane yesterday, the road is full of potholes, but it is very bumpy, you are here to help me deliver things, I can't help it." I can't let you bump the car before you leave the town, and it won't delay your way."

Gui Xi looked at Chu Ge with a troubled expression, thinking that he would help him to say a few words, but when he saw Chu Ge's dull expression, he didn't know what to say.

Xiuniang kept laughing, "Okay Brother Guixi, I know you're uncomfortable, don't think about it, it's okay, if someone points to this banner on the road and asks you, you can tell me Just point it to our shop, let’s get on the road quickly.”

Guixi listened for a while, squinted his eyes, looked at Xiuniang and muttered in his heart, what Xiuniang's sister-in-law said just now was the main reason why she wanted to tie a banner on the car, but this time Xiuniang's sister-in-law didn't Having said that, it's not easy for him to shirk, so he can only help her through this whole journey wearing a banner, or it will be torn down when he leaves the town.

He thought about it and replied, without saying anything, he pulled the hemp rope and left.

Chu Ge looked at the banner on Guixi's car, which read: washboard, easy to do laundry, big bargain at opening, buy two get one free.

He turned his head to look at Xiu Niang, and said dumbly, "Xiu Niang, you are really, ok, ok..."

Xiu Niang raised her eyebrows, and gave Chu Ge a playful smile, "You're so clever, I know... Hey, Chu Ge, we should go and see if Uncle Li has made the rest of the boards right now, don't wait a while People from the town come to buy boards, but we can’t get them out.”

Chu Ge looked at Xiu Niang and said that he turned around and entered the shop after he finished talking, and then he scratched his head, Xiu Niang, you are really a good thief.
