Chapter 604: Wu Yong Purchases Prizes
Ordinary pen, ink, paper and inkstone are not attractive to Wu Yong, Wu Yong directly skipped the shelves where these things were placed, and walked towards the shelves that looked more designed, and the products placed here were obviously those with more personality.
The first thing Wu Yong saw was stacks of paper, sealed in boxes, with some simple patterns painted on them, but not the more feminine patterns, and even the smoked spices were made of pine resin.
Wu Yong directly picked out ten copies and put them in the small basket he had taken at the door before.
Continuing to look down, Wu Yong saw a batch of pens with strange shapes, the lower part of these pens is a normal pen barrel, and the upper part is processed, engraved with some famous allusions, and the color is relatively simple.
Wu Yong picked and selected, and put another batch in the small basket.
In the area where the ink was specially placed, Wu Yong smelled those scented ink blocks, and was a little entangled, if this thing was used in the academy, it would be a little too obvious, Wu Yong decided to skip this area.
After skipping the ink area, Wu Yong came to the area where the inkstone with a relatively high price was placed.
Although the inkstones here are not the best in terms of material, they are all unconventional in terms of shape.
Judging from the smoothness of the lines of these inkstones, Wu Yong recognized that these inkstones must have come from the hands of the masters, looking at the prices marked on the side, Wu Yong chose two pieces with a little pain, which can be used as the best reward at that time.
Wu Yong continued to wander around this area, and in addition to these traditional things, there were also calligraphy and painting works placed here for consignment, and even some embroidery works.
Wu Yong selected a few small pieces of work, put them in a small basket, and planned to end his purchase and go to the counter to settle the bill.
Jiang Juren had already finished settling the bill, chatting with the shopkeeper here, and was a little surprised to see Wu Yong coming over with a full load, but he didn't say anything, after all, it wasn't his own silver that was spent.
Wu Yong put a small basket with a little weight on the counter and asked the shopkeeper to calculate the price for himself.
The shopkeeper didn't expect that he could complete such a big transaction today, and while calculating the numbers with his abacus, he asked Wu Yong: "What are you going to do when you buy so many things?"
Wu Yong: "Make prizes." Wu Yong didn't think there was anything to hide.
The shopkeeper shook his head: "These things are a bit too extravagant for prizes, aren't they?"
Wu Yong: "Actually, it's okay, I can afford it." "The families of the new students they recruited are all good, and if they really buy those inferior goods, it will really have a bad impact.
The shopkeeper didn't want to make this big order yellow, so he didn't say more, directly gave the total number, and erased the fraction: "Five thousand taels." ”
Wu Yong nodded, took out a silver ticket of five thousand taels from his arms, and handed it over.
The shopkeeper asked, "Do you need to wrap it?"
Wu Yong shook his head: "No, just find me a box that can fit it all." "Wu Yong actually likes this small basket for selecting items, but unfortunately there is no lid.
The shopkeeper took out a small basket specially customized to hold things from under the counter, the kind with a lid, sorted out the things that Wu Yong bought, then put them all in, closed the lid, tied it with a cloth belt, and made a handle to carry in one aspect, and then handed it to Wu Yong.
Wu Yong was very satisfied with this box: "Thank you shopkeeper." ”
The shopkeeper rarely walked out from behind the counter and sent Wu out with them: "Come again next time you have a chance." ”
Wu Yong: "If there is a chance." ”
When Jiang Juren was watching from the sidelines, he was suddenly very relieved about his future money.
When the two returned to the street, the carriage stopped on the side of the street, and Jiang's mother asked, "How is it?"
The two of them spent a lot of time in this shop, and now that it was noon, Wu Yong asked Jiang Juren: "Let's go eat first." ”
Jiang Juren thought about his mother, so he nodded: "Okay, where are you going?" Jiang Juren was a little worried that Wu Yong would take them to that kind of place that was too expensive, and wanted to ask in advance.
Wu Yong did not hide this: "Go to a restaurant in the center of this street." Although Wu Yong was not soft on spending money just now, he also understood the level that Jiang Mu and Jiang Juren could accept, otherwise they would probably not eat well.
Jiang Juren also relaxed a lot when he heard Wu Yong say this, if it is a restaurant, the price should be the kind they can afford.
Wu Yong and Jiang Juren also got into the carriage and asked the coachman to take them to the restaurant.
However, the restaurant located in this location is still very different from what Jiang Juren imagined, it is very quiet here, even if someone enters, Xiao Er will quickly lead people to empty seats, and then wait for them to order by themselves.
Wu Yong sat in their seats, and Wu Yong directly ordered the more famous stew pot here, plus a few side dishes, which was enough for them to eat.
Wu Yong handed over the sketched menu to Xiao Er to take away, and introduced Jiang Juren: "The stew pot here tastes very good, and the price is reasonable, you can eat more later." ”
Jiang Juren quietly asked: "The price is not low, right?"
Wu Yong shook his head: "It's really reasonable, this place is the store's own place, and the money we have to pay is only the price of the ingredients themselves, and the store doesn't make money here." "I found this place by accident, and I often come here when I don't want to eat at a restaurant.
When Wu Yong explained, the owner of this restaurant heard that Wu Yong had come, so he came directly with the snacks before the meal.
Wu Yong said with a smile: "Just let your master explain the price here." ”
Although the owner of the restaurant didn't know what topic they were talking about before, since Wu Yong asked, he directly helped people solve their doubts.
After Jiang Juren listened to his explanation, he really put his mind at ease to eat.
The stew pot here tastes really good, and the meat and vegetables are also reasonable, Wu uses the three of them, plus the coachman and Xiao Er who came out with them, and the five people will finish eating.
After Wu Yong paid the silver, he asked Jiang Juren: "Is there anything else you want to buy?"
Wu Yong's purpose for coming out by himself has almost been completed, if Jiang Juren doesn't have anything to buy, they can walk back slowly.
Jiang Juren really didn't have anything to buy, so the three of them walked back slowly, just to eliminate food.
On the street back, the three of them bought some small shrimp for Jiang's mother, so that she could use them to feed the ducklings, while Wu Yong bought some street snacks, planning to take them back to satisfy the scholar's hunger.
When they returned to their place of residence, they found that the scholar was entertaining, and Wu Yong did not disturb them, so he went back to their respective houses with their things first.
Mother Jiang went directly to the backyard to watch the ducklings, and by the way, she took the shrimp to feed them.
