Chapter 261: I want to repay the favor
It's an old book that no one cares about, otherwise it wouldn't be stuffed here on the table.
But what really attracted Zhao Feng was that there was no trace of binding in this book. It is important to know that most of the texts at this time are no longer contained in wooden scrolls or bamboo slips, and even folded copies are few, and the more solid and reliable thread-bound books and three-eyed bindings are the mainstream. The book is also thick, but there is no trace of picking holes and threads, and even the spine and edges are neat and smooth.
Zhao Feng has read books for many years, and he is a little curious when he looks at it. He remembered that the previous owner had said that this was originally a second-hand bookstore, and he couldn't bear to sell it because he was not good at it.
With the cover facing down, he couldn't see the title of the book, so he crouched on the ground and reached out to pull it out.
For a moment, I didn't pull it out.
Twice, still not pulled.
Zhao Feng pulled it out with a strong force, and also brought out a large cloud of old ash.
"Ahem......" He was choked up, the light outside the door dimmed, someone strode in and asked, "Is the shopkeeper there?"
"In, in!" Zhao Feng hurriedly stood up straight from behind the cabinet, and saw that the person who came was a big man, with slightly dark skin and thick eyebrows, but he was a little lame when he walked, "Why do you serve?"
The man's big hand "snapped" on the table, and the paper roll and bamboo scorn placed here shook three times and almost fell to the ground.
This momentum is not lost to the ruffian who came to the door to blackmail. Zhao Feng was startled, only to find that Dahan didn't intend to give him a horse, but threw a small cloth bag on the table.
The bag was heavy and somewhat weighty. The mouth of the bag was open, and Zhao Feng could see the copper coins and broken silver inside at a glance.
That's a lot of money.
Zhao Feng hurriedly said, "What do the guests want to buy?"
"Ugh. Huang opened his mouth widely, only to realize that he had nothing to buy. He was just doing a righteous job, returning the money that the ruffian had stolen from Zhao Feng to its original owner, and by the way, he returned a little more.
But if he threw away the money like this, Zhao Feng wouldn't dare to accept it? He remembered that the little master had said a sentence that would be useless. It means that people don't dare to ask for money for no reason.
He's here to repay the favor, not to scare people. "What do you have here?"
Zhao Feng was stunned by these questions, and Huang Er, who followed into the door, was also stumbling. Big brother, you don't know what you want to buy, so you smash the money on someone's counter table?
"I specialize in all kinds of lanterns here, and I can also make lanterns and lanterns to order. Zhao Feng was puzzled, but he couldn't get along with the money sent to the door. When he saw Huang Er coming in, he hurriedly smiled at her, so as not to be lazy, "I can also write letters and letters for you." ”
In these years, there are very few people who have gone to school, and there is not a single person in a hundred ordinary people who can read and write, and the rich people in urban and rural areas are similar. However, people do have a need for letters, in addition to communicating with distant relatives whether they have reported their safety, red and white ceremonies, birthday feasts and full moons, they have to send invitations. Therefore, there are people in the city who make a living by writing on behalf of others, which is called catching knives.
Of course, relying on this livelihood alone can't fill your belly, but Zhao Feng's lantern shop has just opened, and there is no business in the first few days, of course, he can only do a little side business.
Huang Da didn't want to think about it: "I want you to have the most expensive lamp here!"
Zhao Feng couldn't cry or laugh: "When do you want to use it, and where do you use it?"
Is there any other use for the lantern?" Huang Da thought for a moment and added, "On the garden and porch." ”
It seems that this guest's house is not small, Zhao Feng immediately refreshed his spirits and pointed to the lantern on the door: "These two are samples, and the bamboo scorn is beaten into the bottom of the frame." If the guest needs, I can use better mahogany as the frame, and the silk yarn as the screen, and the content of the screen will be customized by you......"
"No, just these two. Huang Da didn't need him to do it, he took off the lantern after jumping two steps, "I'm going to use it today, I don't have time to wait for you to do it." ”
Such a refreshing guest, Zhao Feng is the first time to see him. In the past few days, there are many people, even if someone comes to ask, they are still asking from east to west, and they don't buy after asking. Zhao Feng responded enthusiastically at first, but only later did he react: This should be a peer to ask for a price, right?
At least I can have a full meal today, Zhao Feng cheered up: "Then it's a total of one or two silver." ”
At this price, he was still a little apprehensive. Although he is confident in his workmanship, the headlights used for this finale are really not cheap.
Huang Da pushed the money bag on the table forward: "Oh, you don't need to look for it." ”
Zhao Feng was really taken aback. This bag is heavy, and the broken silver and copper coins in it are afraid that there are not as many as a dozen taels, even if you buy a dozen lamps. "Too much ......"
Before he finished speaking, Huang Da had already walked out, leaving him with a fast and fading back, and his right leg was still a little lame.
There are really no surprises in this world, Zhao Feng was stunned for a while, and then put away the money bag. No matter how certain God is, the girl who just came in is gone.
At least I don't have to nibble on buns tonight.
Huang Er walked for more than 100 zhang before he caught up with Huang Da's pace. She had a dark face: "Do you know what you're doing?" first robbed the human money, and then used the money to buy two completely useless large lanterns, does he know how high the rate of turning back is when he walks on the road with the lanterns?
No, it's not a purchase, it's a giveaway!
"Yes. Huang Da held his head high, "The little master said that the grace of dripping water will repay the spring, so I am repaying the favor." ”
"Repay the favor?" Huang Er's tone was raised three degrees, and he pointed back, "That little weak chicken?"
That's a mortal, a scum with a combat power value of five, what kind of favor can he do to Huang Da?
"I was so badly injured this time that I couldn't even speak, and I fell into an Orion trap on the way back. Huang Da made a straight face, "If it weren't for this person to come to the rescue, you wouldn't be able to see me." ”
Huang Er was taken aback: "There is such a thing, why didn't you talk about it earlier!"
Huang Da was sullen: "How embarrassing is it to say it?" Is he Huang Da shameless? He was almost skinned by a human hunter, and he would be laughed at by his family for a hundred years if he said it, right?
The most terrifying thing is not to be laughed at by other weasels, but that Chitose-sama will laugh at him for a hundred years in a different way.
If he could live for a hundred years.
It's desperate to think about.
"It's time to repay people. Huang Er patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, you two are even." ”
"How can it be called Ripping?" Huang Dazhi glared, "Is my life worth ten taels of silver? What's more, the little master said that it is called 'Yongquan' only if you repay it ten times and a hundred times! Otherwise, if someone gives you a drop of water, and you return a drop of water, it is called 'borrowing', not repayment!"
Huang Er was dumbfounded, only to feel that he suddenly made sense, especially after moving out of the little master, he was speechless.
"What do you want?" she had a foreboding feeling.
Huang Da puffed up his chest: "Continue to repay the favor!"
She's a simple brother, and she can repay her kindness, right? Huang Er only felt a pain in his head.
