Chapter 167
I originally planned to go in and have something to eat, but after thinking about it, I immediately asked someone for help, so I just asked that person to come over and have a meal with me. In this case, it can be regarded as thanking others. Of course, I still give what should be given, or how about It is said that Lao Gu is a fastidious person.

Thinking of this, Gu Siwei went across the town according to the place Liu Fulin said.

As a result, before they reached the ground, they saw a white flag hanging at the door of a family, and there were faint crying.

Gu Siwei stopped a passerby and asked him, "Uncle, where does Qin Baogen live?"

The middle-aged man who was stopped looked Gu Siwei up and down, and opened his mouth and asked, "Are you here to buy a tank from him?"

Seeing Gu Siwei nodded, he said: "That's a coincidence, well, the family of the dead is his family, and he is the one who died."

"what!"

Gu Siwei exclaimed: "Why did you die?"

"I can't live anymore. I hanged myself to death on the beam of the cowshed with a rope last night. Alas, why can't I think about this... a good person."

With that said, this man shook his head and stopped talking to Gu Siwei, and walked forward on his own.

Gu Siwei walked towards the door, stood at the door, and saw a black coffin parked in the main room facing the courtyard door. The coffin was not thick, not only not thick, but also slightly small. It seemed that it was used It is not a good material, or it may be because of the rush, the family has no way to prepare good materials.

Kneeling next to the coffin is a middle-aged man, about 45, wearing a white filial hat on his head, but there is not much sadness on his face, he just mechanically put the straw paper in his hand into the brazier in front of him Throw.

Kneeling opposite the man were two men and two women. One of the women was older and must be the elder of the remaining three. According to the style of the hat, she should be Qin Baogen's daughter-in-law and grandson.

At this time, the people in the room also saw Gu Siwei standing at the door.

Gu Siwei nodded at several people, walked in, stood in front of the coffin, bowed his head a few times, and said his condolences to the family members before leaving the yard.

The person who wanted to ask for help could not be found, but Gu Siwei had to buy this tank. Since he didn't know anyone, Gu Siwei decided to use things to clear the way.

If you want to go to the factory where the vats are made, you don't need to ask anyone at all, just look up and see the big earthen kiln where the vats are burned, and just walk in the direction of the earthen kiln.

When he arrived at the gate of the factory, Gu Siwei was about to go in when he was stopped by the janitor at the gate.

A lean man in his forties, with a blue Benshan cap on his head, a blue Chinese tunic suit on his upper body, which was a little whitish from washing, and green military trousers on his lower body, which almost lost their color. His knees and There are two large patches on the back of the butt.

He holds an enamel tea mug in his hand, and holds the lid of the mug in one hand, and wipes the lid on the mug with the lid, as if drinking tea in an official family in the past.

"What are you doing, just go inside!"

The man glanced at Gu Siwei, and put on a dignified look with a straight face.

Gu Siwei smiled and said, "Buy a tank!"

"Buy tanks and go to the sales department over there. What are you doing here? This is a factory area where idlers are not allowed to come in. Really, anyone can break into it...".

Gu Siwei was not angry either, and came to this person's side.

As soon as Gu Siwei walked forward, the man immediately took a step back and said sharply, "You...you...what do you want?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm new here and I don't know the rules."

As he said that, Gu Siwei turned his hand and brought out a pack of the cheapest cigarettes. The smoke flashed in the man's eyes, and then fell into the man's pocket smoothly.

As soon as the man's face changed, he immediately felt relieved, and then he laughed, how could he still see the appearance just now.

"Then you can't rush in." The man's tone softened instantly.

"Uncle, this is my first time, I just want to buy a few good tanks, can you give me some advice?" Gu Siwei said with a smile.

The man smiled and said: "Actually, there is no need. If you buy a good tank, you still have to go to the sales department, but you have to pay attention. When they take you to pick a tank, don't go there to pick it, you have to go inside. I went to the No. 2 warehouse to pick, and the tanks there were far better than those thrown in the courtyard, no matter the selection of materials or craftsmanship."

"What else is there to say?" Gu Siwei gave the man a playful compliment.

The man was in a good mood: "That's natural. You laymen don't know. You look at the two identical tanks, but if you use them, you will know that they are different. Some tanks have a crisp sound like a chime when you flick your fingers. This tank is Good tanks, some can only make a clanging sound when you tap them lightly, and most people can hear them crisply, but they are much worse than what I said above. As for the stuffy tanks, there is no need to say, only cheapness is their advantage Advantages, the third one is used when most people don't pay attention to it.

But I don’t think you are someone who uses the third type of tank. You must want to buy a good tank that can be used for decades, right? "

Gu Siwei gave the man a thumbs up: "God!"

But he said in his heart: Aren't you talking nonsense, buy the worst vat, I need to stuff you with a pack of broken cigarettes?

The man's face was smug: "I knew at a glance that the most important thing to do this job is to have bright eyes. Go ahead, go out to the right, and remember, don't look for young people, look for older people Buy it, as for other things, you definitely don’t need me to teach you.”

After hearing the man's words, Gu Siwei thanked him and walked towards the sales place.

The place where the vats are sold are three small houses, like a shop in a movie. The doors are all made of wood. The house is also an old-fashioned traditional building. The materials are all blackened. .

Entering the room, Gu Siwei saw a few people sitting inside, with dozens of large and small vats or jars. They were chatting away while eating snacks.

As for seeing Gu Siwei coming in, he raised his eyelids, and no one came up to ask.

Gu Siwei was no longer surprised. After looking at it for a while, he went around and saw an old man coming in from behind, so Gu Siwei smiled on his face, and first cupped his hands at the old man.

"Comrade, I want to buy some tanks."

"Buy a vat, that Xiao Song, Xiao Song, come and receive me." After the old man yelled at a young man who was sitting, he dropped one for Gu Siwei and left.

Xiao Song clapped his hands slowly, stood up from the bench, and asked lazily, "What kind of tank should I buy?"

"Big jars for pickled vegetables, three or four, and small jars for pickled vegetables, more like this, seven... ten, and four or five jars for salted duck eggs... " Gu Siwei said.

"Hey, your village is rich enough, which village?" Xiao Song was still lazy.

Gu Siwei did not answer, but said: "Hey, what, now the family is poor and almost can't open the pot, otherwise, who would want to pickle these rotten things."

Xiao Song said: "That's right! Well, you come with me."

After speaking, he waved at Gu Siwei, and then lifted his foot out of the back door of the sales store.

Gu Siwei followed Xiao Song, took two quick steps and repeated the old trick, took out another pack of cigarettes, and handed it to Xiao Song. This time the cigarettes were better, but not much better.

Xiao Song looked down and put the cigarettes in his pocket.

"Do you want to buy better tanks or average ones? The better ones are more expensive. You can just pick the average ones in the courtyard. They are all good tanks and not broken. You have to be careful when you choose them. If they go out of this door, they will be broken. But it’s hard to tell, we don’t cover or compensate here, and buying these depends on your eyesight... ".

Xiao Song said.

Gu Siwei smiled and said: "Please do me a favor and help you choose one. Give me a chance at noon and let me treat you to a light meal."

As soon as he heard about Gu Siwei's treat, Xiao Song's attitude changed visibly with the naked eye.

"There's nothing delicious in the town, that is, the state-run restaurant over there is okay..." Xiao Song said.

Gu Siwei is not stupid, so he naturally knew what this person meant, so he nodded and said, "Then the state-run restaurant, when the time comes, let's order pork head meat, pork liver, and dumplings, what do you think?"

"Then... this, how embarrassing." Xiao Song immediately changed his attitude after hearing this.

"What's the matter, anyway, I'm spending public money here, but I'm going to get a few mouthfuls to use at home," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

When Xiao Song heard it, he immediately understood, so the two looked at each other and smiled.

The next chat was much smoother. The two talked and laughed as if they were friends for many years. Xiao Song didn't play tricks here, so he took Gu Siwei to the innermost library.

"Here, the vats here are all the best. If you pick them up with your eyes closed, there will be no bad ones. If there are none over there, all the bad ones will be broken," Xiao Song said.

Gu Siwei approached a vat and touched it with his hand. The wall of the vat is very smooth, and the cyan glaze is quite thick. There is no feeling of pricking the wall at all.

"As if you could touch it."

With the foundation of rice, Xiao Song spoke more casually. After saying something to Gu Siwei, he introduced the technique of matching tanks to him.

I don’t know if I don’t say it, but if I say it, it’s really a lot of knowledge to buy a tank.

Gu Siwei was taken by Xiao Song to try the tank here, and then try the tank outside. After listening and fumbling for a while, he really had a little experience.

Anyway, it's okay, even if Gu Siwei bought the tank, he still has to wait for luck, and he was idle when he arrived at the ferry. Now someone is chatting with him, isn't that a good thing!

So I chatted here with Xiao Song first, and then went to the breakfast shop outside. The two of them each had a bowl of shredded pork noodles, and each made a few big meat buns.

When they left the shop, the two became acquainted like half-brothers.
