Courtyard: Complain first at the beginning

Chapter 59 Writing brush
"Ouch! Who do I think you are? Why are you here today free? Come in and sit down."

Yu Zezhang greeted, and Master Ma directly explained his intention without being polite.
"I won't go in. I just did a job. After asking, I found out that this lesbian wanted to buy a better writing brush. She was going to Liuli Street. Isn't this a coincidence?
I happened to know that this is what you do, so I brought someone here for you. They are very knowledgeable and quickly took out all the things you can do to make the parents look at you. Anyway, it is a waste for you. "

Master Ma was talking about people but he went straight into the house, but his voice was relatively low, at least the neighbors didn't hear them clearly, but they all knew each other, so they didn't pay attention.
Zhao Xiaotang followed the person through the door and sat on the stool following the owner's wishes.
This person really makes calligraphy brushes. You can’t tell from the outside, but inside the home, on the windowsill, on the table, and on the wall, there are all materials related to calligraphy brushes.

Yu Zezhang has no choice but to face his old friend, and he also knows that the other party has good intentions. Now he can't do business. The craftsmanship he has been doing for decades is now wasted on his hands.
I just do these things to pass the time on weekdays. Occasionally, old customers who I know well from before will come directly to exchange a brush or two.
"Don't talk nonsense, it's just speculation, lesbian, if you really want it, we can change it. What kind of pen do you want?"

Yu Zezhang followed him in because there were lesbians, so he didn’t close the door.

After giving a warning to an old friend, he turned to Zhao Xiaotang and said gently,

"If possible, I would like five of each type, whether hard or soft. We can discuss what to change."

Zhao Xiaotang's words surprised the two people opposite. After all, there are few people who are so generous in this day and age.

The two looked at each other, and Master Ma asked uncertainly:
"Girl, are you sure of what you said? There are many types of brushes. Five of each kind would be a bit expensive. Besides, what's the use of buying so many?"

Yu Zezhang also wanted to ask this question. The two of them looked directly at Zhao Xiaotang.
"You also know that this thing is not easy to buy, so you want to buy more at once. After all, that thing can be stored for a long time. You happen to be a craftsman in this field, so I naturally want to buy the whole set at once."

After hearing what she said, he nodded unconsciously, expressing his agreement.
When Yu Zezhang saw what the other party said, and also saw that the other party was well-dressed and well-spoken, he must have a good family, so he thought about it and said:
"It's hard to say what's going on right now. Now that you've come to visit me, I won't refuse. Let's take a look first and then we'll discuss the price."

Having said this, he got up and went to the back room to get a small box. He opened the box and put it on the table.
Zhao Xiaotang saw five brushes placed side by side inside. Surprisingly, the materials of the five brushes were different, and the bristles were in five colors. He looked at each other in confusion.
Yu Zezhang then sat down and looked at the brushes on the table, exhaling a breath of relief or a sigh, and then said slowly:
"The materials of these five pens are all different. This pen is made of fox fur, and this one is made of wolf fur, which was taken from the Wolf King.

And this one is made of wool, this one is made of wolf hair and purple rabbit hair, and this one is made of rabbit hair.

The barrels of these five pens are made of ebony, sandalwood, purple bamboo, nanmu and stem wood.
how do you feel? "

While introducing, Yu Zezhang pointed out to Zhao Xiaotang which pen was made of which material.
After hearing this, Zhao Xiaotang nodded and looked very knowledgeable. In fact, it was Fubao who was confirming in his ear that what the other party said was true.

"I'm also very satisfied with this set of pens, so I don't know if Master Yu wants to exchange it for cash, food, meat oil, or something like that."

"You can give me whatever you just said."

The two of them were surprised. Yu Zezhang asked directly. Seeing the other party nodding, he felt a sense of surprise in his heart.

"I'll replace it with grains and all of it with stick noodles. If possible, I'll just switch to 80 pounds of stick noodles.

Of course, I will give you the remaining four sets as soon as possible. You don’t need to exchange so much food for the remaining four sets. Just give me half of what you have today, and you can come back tomorrow for the other half. Is that okay? "

"I'm sure I just want cornmeal. I still have some rice and pure cornmeal at home. If you want, I can change it for you."

Zhao Xiaotang was a little surprised. She thought that the other party might exchange rice, oil and meat for the same amount, but she did not expect that the other party only wanted the cheapest stick noodles. Yu Zezhang felt bitter in his heart but did not show it, but was determined Nodding, everyone wants good things, but only stick noodles can make people eat more meals.

"Let's do this! You are an expert in this field, and you must know a lot of people. If you can find a brush like this made of jade or other rare materials, you can exchange it with me.

I really like these. Not only do I like these, but my elders in my family also like them. Not long ago, the elders in my family will celebrate their birthdays. I just happened to be looking for one to save me from having to worry about birthday gifts. Of course, anything can be exchanged for it. discuss. "

Zhao Xiaotang looked like he was rich and had no shortage of money and supplies, which made the two people opposite him a little dumbfounded.
Master Ma wanted to say something but finally swallowed it and drank water silently beside him.
"In this case, I really know a few of them. I'll go and ask if they are still there. If they are still in the other party's hands, then I will help you exchange them.

If you come back in three days, I will definitely not let you go home empty-handed. "

"Okay! Then I'll come back in three days. As for today, why don't you ask Master Ma to send me another trip and bring the stick noodles back to Master Yu."

After hearing this, the two of them naturally nodded in agreement, and then Zhao Xiaotang took the set of brushes on the table and returned home on a tricycle.

After returning home, I didn’t even have time to drink water, so I quickly picked up 80 kilograms of stick noodles from the kitchen and handed them to Master Ma who was waiting outside the gate.

"Did you forget something?"

Fu Bao watched Zhao Xiaotang hand over the food to him and then said slowly,

"What's the matter?"

Zhao Xiaotang looked at him inexplicably. Didn't he just go out to buy brushes today? Not only did I buy a writing brush, but I also got an unexpected bonus. What can I do?
"What do you want to buy a brush for?"

"Nonsense, of course when you buy a brush, you have to write calligraphy with it."

Fu Bao almost cried because of the other party's stupidity.

"Yes! You are going to write calligraphy with a calligraphy brush, but have you bought paper? Are you going to write the calligraphy on the curtains?"

"Ha! Hehehehe, I forgot about it, let's go out and buy it now! It's still early anyway."

Zhao Xiaotang indeed forgot about it, but it was still early and he could go over to buy it. He put the brush on his hand back to its original position and put it into the space. He went out, locked the door and drove out.

"Sister Xiaotang, where are you going?"

As soon as I walked to the gate, I saw Silly Zhu coming in from the outside.
