Strategy to develop champions

Chapter 59

Song Mingxuan didn't leave Zhao Caifeng's mother and daughter separately. Although he was familiar with them in this town, the big guys walked back together after a while, and at least they had a companion, so Song Mingxuan followed Zhao Caifeng and the others all the way.Seeing that Mrs. Yang bought some brown rice, he touched the silver in his purse, thought for a while, and bent down to pick up the rice-threshing bamboo sheng.

Zhao Caifeng is now very familiar with the economic situation of the Song family. Looking at the expression on his face, he knows that he does not have extra money to buy brown rice, but since Yang said so, he is also embarrassed not to buy it for Brother Bao. Some.When Zhao Caifeng saw it, she reached out and snatched the bamboo sheng in his hand, and said with a smile: "My mother bought so much, and I ate it with Brother Bao. A little bit can be eaten by a child. It's a waste to boil such a mouthful every day." As for the firewood in my house, you should keep the silver and buy your pen and ink."

Song Mingxuan looked at Zhao Caifeng like this, and became obedient. He only glanced at the brown rice and the silver on the top, and thought silently, if he finished buying pens and ink in a while, he would come over and buy them for Brother Bao too. up some.

After going to the grocery store, Mrs. Yang took Zhao Caifeng to eat noodles at old man Yang's noodle stall in the past, but today the ox cart came here, which was much faster than walking, so it was not time for lunch. The two followed Song Mingxuan to the shop selling the Four Treasures of the Study.

Firstly, Zhao Wu is about to go to a private school, and Mrs. Yang also wants to come over to see the price. Secondly, Zhao Caifeng is also very interested in this. I want to know that studying in this year is not a very luxurious thing. .

When the shopkeeper saw Song Mingxuan approaching, he didn't have an elated expression on his face, he just squeezed out a smile and said, "Song Xiucai, long time no see, have you run out of things at home?"

The shopkeeper said that it’s been a while since he said it’s been a while, and it’s true. Among his regular customers, none of them will come to buy things once every ten days and half a month. Only this Song Mingxuan can buy things every six months. It's only the second time he came here, but he didn't buy much, just the cheapest pens and paper in the store.

Even Zhao Caifeng could hear the disrespect in the shopkeeper's words, but Song Mingxuan still had a gentle smile on his face, he didn't care about the shopkeeper's attitude towards him, and just said: "Well, the things at home are used It's all gone, and I want to add two more things, give me two brushes of small script, and another hundred sheets of raw-edged paper, and for ink, just use the cheapest one."

These three things add up to about [-] Wen, but for Song Mingxuan, it is still a lot of money. He has to save the money to go to Beijing to take the exam, but the pens, inks, papers and inkstones in Beijing must be more expensive than those in Heqiao Town.

Zhao Caifeng saw that the shopkeeper turned around and searched for a while on the shelf inside. While Song Mingxuan was still looking at other things, he put away a stack of raw paper and put it under the counter, then turned to Song Mingxuan and said, "Song Mingxuan Xiucai, I’m really sorry, the raw paper is sold out, there are a lot of scholars coming to Beijing to take the exam recently, and my original stock is not enough, otherwise you should buy something else.”

Raw edge paper is leftover material, and the price is half of normal rice paper, but the writing effect is actually similar. For a poor scholar like Song Mingxuan, it cannot be more affordable.The shopkeeper clearly wanted him to buy the more expensive one by doing this.

Zhao Caifeng saw it, why didn't she understand what the shopkeeper meant.When Zhao Caifeng and Yang Shi came in, although they walked with Song Mingxuan, they didn't greet each other, so the shopkeeper didn't know that they were in the same group.Zhao Caifeng also plans to stand still at the moment, but it depends on how the shopkeeper persuades Song Mingxuan.

Although Song Mingxuan really wanted to buy paper, but the price doubled all of a sudden, how could he afford it? When he was frowning in depression, he saw Zhao Caifeng shook his head slightly at him.Although Song Mingxuan was puzzled, but he was always obedient, and Zhao Caifeng became more and more powerful recently, as if he had changed his temper. He didn't dare to disobey her, for fear that she would get angry, so he returned to the shopkeeper and said, "Then I don't want to Now, just buy ink and pens!"

The shopkeeper didn't expect Song Mingxuan to be so stubborn, his face became more and more unsightly, he only took the money, and said with a sneer: "This is the first time I've heard of a scholar who doesn't use paper, Song Xiucai is afraid that all the beautiful articles are in his stomach !"

Zhao Caifeng winked and asked Song Mingxuan to go out, and Yang was going to call Song Mingxuan, but Zhao Caifeng stopped him and said, "Mother, what do you think of this pen? Seeing that Xiaosan is about to go to private school, we have to prepare some pens and inks for him." That's good."

When Yang was interrupted by Zhao Caifeng, she also forgot about Song Mingxuan, and just looked down at the pen on the counter and said, "It looks pretty good, is it expensive?"

Zhao Caifeng asked the shopkeeper, today she was wearing a new dress, and she was beautiful, she looked like a pretty maid from a rich family, the shopkeeper saw it, and only asked with a smile: "What do you want, girl?"
