Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 12

About an hour later, the ox cart arrived at Shiwan.

Passing by Shiwan village, turning into a fork road and walking for about a quarter of an hour, we can see a large area of exposed loess field in front of us.

In the middle is a broad flat ground, one side is the entrance, one side is high stacked with many fired bricks and tiles, and the other two sides are dug along the mountain ridge with seven big and eight small kilns. Beside the kiln mouth is stacked with a pile of yellow mud, brick and tile molds, firewood, barrels, basins, shovels, trolleys and other things. Five or six short brown workers in patches are busy.

Seeing them coming, the host, Shi laocai, came over with both hands on sleeves and a smile. He looked at them and said, "brother, do you want to buy bricks or tiles?"

"My neighbor's roof needs to be repaired, so I came here to buy some tiles," Li said with a smile

"Oh, this way, please! The mud I use here is good, the kiln is good, the quality of the tiles is the best, they are durable and the price is fair! Ha ha! " Stone old wood smilingly led them to the side of the pile of tiles.

Lian Fangzhou said with a smile, "one and a half of our three rooms need to be replaced with new tiles, and the other one and a half need to be replaced. Two rooms in all! About 50 square meters in total! You can figure out how much it will take. "

She said with a shy smile and said, "we don't want much. I'm sorry to tell you the price again! Just say a fair price! When a new house is built in the future, you can come here again! "

Lian Fangzhou's words are clear, his language is fluent, and his words are clear and clear like flowing clouds and flowing water, which makes him stunned.

Shi laocai can't help but squinting his eyes and looking at the girl in front of him. At the age of 14-5, he is a little thin. He is wearing old and clean jujube red rag clothes. His face is thin, but his eyes are bright, and his lips are small. He smiles a little. He combs the drooping eyes common to rural girls. They are neat and clean. The whole person is full of energy Son, I can't help feeling good when I see you.

Old stone couldn't help laughing. Looking at Lian Fangzhou's words of "good", he gave a thumbs up and said with a smile: "this girl is really a smart and bright person. Ha ha, I don't know which family is so lucky and has such a good daughter! Cheng, I'll be happy to hear that. I'll give you the lowest price and the best things! "

"Thank you very much, boss Shi!" Lian Fangzhou smiles and nods.

Lianze saw lianfangzhou's words these two days, but he didn't feel anything. Li Dawu, like Shi laocai, was stunned!

Lian Fangzhou's performance just now completely overturned her impression in his mind.

If it wasn't for the man or the man, he would almost doubt that the girl in front of him was Lian Fangzhou?

Li Damu sighed secretly: it seems that the affair of Yang family's retreat and Hua family's daughter-in-law's splashing has really stimulated this girl!

Old stone smiled and said, "you're welcome." suddenly he began to tease. Then he smiled to Lian Fangzhou and said, "little girl, I'm such a big tile. If you can figure out how many tiles you need, I'll give you another 20% cheaper. How about that?"

Lian Fangzhou's eyes flashed, but he said with a smile, "I can't be so accurate. Don't be kidding."

Old stone waved his hand and swept the long beard and said with a smile: "I'm not kidding, I'm serious! Ha ha, in fact, who can count as good as one piece? As long as the difference is good, you will win! "

Looking at Mr. Shi's interesting eyes, Lian Fanzhou thought about it, nodded his head and said with a polite smile, "in that case, I'll make a fool of myself. If I'm not accurate, don't laugh at me, uncle!"

"Stone old wood ha ha says with a smile:" won't, won't, you calculate to see

The working workers heard that even a little girl like Fangzhou could count. They were curious and stopped to watch the activity. They talked in a small voice.

Lian Fangzhou took a tile and estimated the length and width of the tile with her fingers. There was a thin layer of loess on the ground. She folded a thin branch and squatted down. She began to row on the ground.

The workers have never seen Arabic numerals. It's strange to see her drawing on the ground. One can't help asking Shi laocai, "boss Shi, what is this little girl writing?"

"Yes, what's the word? How strange! "

"No, never."

"I said, is that a word? How can I feel like the symbol drawn by Zhang Tianshi in Wuyun temple! "

When they heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

When Lian Ze saw that they were making fun of Lian Fangzhou, he couldn't help blushing and exclaimed, "since my sister dare to try, she can do it! What are you laughing at? What's so funny! "

They laughed even louder, laughing and joking at lianze.

Shi laocai coughs twice, which stops.

Even Fang Zhou smiled, neither to distinguish nor embarrassed, but to allocate his own.

In fact, this is a very simple math problem, but in two or three sentences, she has already calculated it and reported a number with a smile. At the same time, he stood up and wiped all traces on the ground with his feet.

"So soon?" Old stone was stunned, and all of them were stunned.

There's no need to reckon, and it's so fast. It's really evil!

"Boss, right, right!" People are talking and can't wait.

Shi laocai stares: right? Where does he know? He has to count before he knows it!

Without waiting for his orders, some workers had already rushed to get the abacus and handed it to him with both hands. Many eyes stared at him.

"Sister, are you sure you can't calculate it?" Lianze couldn't help whispering to lianfangzhou. Li Dawu also looked over with concern.

Lian Fangzhou is not very fast. He looks at the stone boss who is flying away with abacus beads. He smiles and says, "I will know when the stone boss comes up with it!"

Her calm look and quiet smile made lianze feel at ease. Lianze took off and said, "I believe that elder sister is right."

"Oh?" Lian Fangzhou laughed, "why?"

Even Ze stubbornly said: "I don't know, anyway, I just believe in my sister."

Lian Fangzhou nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "good brother."

"God! It's amazing! " Mr. Shi looked at the figures on the abacus and was speechless with consternation.

"Yes, indeed!"

"No! Yes! "

The workers were also greatly surprised.

Li Damu and lianze fall to the ground with one heart. They both look at each other and laugh. They are all happy for lianfangzhou.

Some people can't help but say, "boss, would you like to do it again?"

Old stone slapped the man on the back of his head and stared: "you are a killer! Yes? Doubt me! "

"No, no..." The face was so red that people began to laugh.

"Laugh what laugh what! Don't hurry to work! " Old stone stared at the crowd.

They agreed, and couldn't help but look at Lian Fangzhou and talk about it.

"Boss Shi, is that what you said just now?" Li said with a smile.

"Count it! Of course! " Shi laocai simply nodded and gave Lian Fangzhou a thumbs up: "Miss Lian is the smartest girl I have ever met. She is really good! But, Lian girl, what are those things you just drew on the ground? "
