Chapter 36 36. Accept?

"Ten purses, ten embroidered handkerchiefs and sixty knots, see if the number is correct for Mrs. Qi." Shopkeeper Zou spread the contents of the parcels on the countertop.

"Yes, yes, I still don't trust shopkeeper Zou?" Mrs. Qi smiled.

Then there was another crackling sound, and shopkeeper Zou took out a handful of copper plates.

"A purse is five coins, fifty coins, an embroidered handkerchief is six coins, sixty coins, and a knot is one coin, sixty coins, a total of 170 coins. Miss Qi is right."

Every time shopkeeper Zou said something, he fiddled with one side to make calculations, and left time for others to calculate.

He was very careful and Huajin found that there was no impatience in his eyes, this person seemed okay at first.

The number is clear at a glance and it is not difficult to calculate. Qi thought about it for a few moments before nodding, but said confidently: "No need to count, no need to count, shopkeeper Zou is right, who doesn't know that shopkeeper Zou is kind and kind, and he is innocent!"

Although I know it's just a compliment, but who doesn't like to hear nice words, shopkeeper Zou is no exception.

"Madam Qi can still talk, I really like to hear that." He laughed, and then handed the counted copper coins to Mrs. Qi in front of the counter.

"Take these, it's 170 Wen."

As the so-called brothers settle accounts clearly, it is not mean to ask for money face to face, not to mention it is a business, Qi didn't say much but started to investigate seriously.

A moment later, Qi Shi, who was in a good mood when he got the money, said with a smile on his face, "That's right, that's right."

"Then will you still get the job this time?" Shopkeeper Zou asked habitually with the corners of his mouth raised.

"Take it, take it, and trouble shopkeeper Zou to help us prepare it according to the previous quantity."

After a while, the things they needed were placed on the counter, "Then I won't refund the deposit."

"Sure, thank you, Shopkeeper Zou." The old lady Qi's Hua thanked her repeatedly.

I am sincerely grateful to shopkeeper Zou, if not for shopkeeper Zou's kindness and willingness to let them work, there is no place to earn money at all.

The two jobs every month add up to two or three hundred wen, which can come in handy in a year. At least the oil, salt and condiments at home can definitely cover it, and there are still some leftovers.

"You're welcome," shopkeeper Zou said with a smile as usual.

Here, Hua Jin sees that grandma and mother are about to leave, so she grabs them.

The couple looked at Hua Jin puzzled, thinking what was this child looking for?
That's right, there are so many beautiful things here, it's normal for children to like and want them.

Although most of the things inside are a bit more expensive, the little things can still be bought by gritting their teeth. Mrs. Hua, who has never had any bottom line in front of her granddaughter, said immediately: "Jin'er, do you want something?"

After Mrs. Hua made a noise, shopkeeper Zou found out that there was still a child in the counter. He was busy checking the goods and really didn't pay much attention.

Fair and clean, with big and long eyes, she is a cute and beautiful little girl. Shopkeeper Zou, who only has three sons who really want a daughter, had his eyes lit up for a moment, and said with a smile, "Auntie, this is your granddaughter! She is well-raised, and Auntie didn't take too much trouble."

The old woman immediately grinned when someone praised her child, but she still said modestly: "It's the granddaughter, shopkeeper Zou praised her, how can the shopkeeper say it so well, the peasant children are so skinny and run wild all over the mountains, that is to say, they are born with fairer skin."

"Good is good, Auntie, don't be modest." Shopkeeper Zou said, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was really rare to like such a delicate child.

"Son, what's your name?" I couldn't help asking.

That smile looks like a witch who is about to kidnap a child, that is, Hua Jin is not a real child, otherwise she might not dare to look at her.

Facing such eyes, Hua Jin smiled brightly, "Big sister, my name is Hua Jin."

"Oh, how old am I? What kind of sister should I be called aunt?" Shopkeeper Zou was elated when he heard that, and the fine lines on the corners of his smiling eyes deepened a little.

"But big sister looks so young!" Hua Jin looked at her mother as she spoke, as if she was making comparisons.

Shopkeeper Zou felt so comfortable listening to it!

I heard a lot of compliments like this, but it was the first time that such an older child said it. Shopkeeper Zou couldn't help touching his cheek happily.

Well, my child, what I said must be true.

Looking happy like the old lady Qi: "Auntie, how do you raise your children? Do you have any secrets? This little mouth is as sweet as honey. Auntie, you don't know that the three brats in my family will not stop until they piss me off every day. It's so rare to be a girl."

"There's no secret, it's the shopkeeper who is too small." Mrs. Hua knew the art of speaking, and then boasted,

"I figured it out. It turns out that this child followed you, Auntie!"

Then he looked at the calm little girl, "Aunt Hua Jin likes you, let's see what aunt you like to give you."

Look at this delicate little face, shopkeeper Zou likes it more and more, and really wants to take it home.

"It can't be done," Mrs. Hua hurriedly said.

Shopkeeper Zou didn't care what Mrs. Hua said, walked out of the counter, took Hua Jin's little hand and walked along his counter, "Look carefully, do you like it?"

So...Hua Jin didn't expect that shopkeeper Zou would be so enthusiastic and willful. He didn't check for a while and was caught by the hand. After walking a few steps, he quickly stopped and shook his head.

"Thank you big sister..."

The soft voice of "Call Auntie" made shopkeeper Zou's brows and eyes frowned again and again.

"Auntie" Hua Jin called obediently.

"Thank you, Auntie, I don't want anything."

Although Hua Jin didn't know the price, he also knew that even small items in the embroidery workshop were not cheap.

"It's okay. Auntie is willing to give it to you. Your grandmother and mother won't be angry."

As he spoke, he took out some handkerchiefs embroidered with flowers for Hua Jin to choose.

Hua Jin: "..."

He quickly shook his head again, "Thank you, Auntie, I really don't want Hua Jin."

The small face can be serious and serious, looking at shopkeeper Zou. This small expression coupled with a cute and delicate face makes shopkeeper Zou even more rare, but it can also be seen that the little girl really doesn't want it.

"Auntie don't want any?"

Again, how can a child not like delicate and beautiful things?

"Thank you auntie."

The meaning is already obvious.

After Shopkeeper Zou lamented that the little girl was sensible, Hua Jin spoke again.

"Auntie, the pattern on the handkerchief is so beautiful."

"Really!" Shopkeeper Zou thought that Hua Jin had changed his mind, and was about to take out a few handkerchiefs for the little girl to pick and choose Hua Jin. The next words made her stop her movements.

"Yeah." Hua Jin nodded, and then got to the point: "Auntie, I can also draw beautiful patterns, can I accept it here?"

Huajin never thought of asking grandma and mother to embroider finished products before discussing business. They can embroider but they are all simple, and the patterns in their hands are too difficult for the mother and mother.

"You can draw... flowers?" Shopkeeper Zou looked at Hua Jin in surprise and then laughed.

Obviously some don't believe it, but it's not so obvious. The child's original intention is good, and he wants to make money. It's better not to hit such a cute little girl so directly.

"Yes," Hua Jin said firmly.

Shopkeeper Zou's reaction was normal and he took good care of her emotions. After all, she was just a child, so she was really not convincing.
