A car accident, our family of three crossed

It was market day again, and Shuisheng once again went to the county town with a full load of goods. This time, the villagers paid special attention to his movements.

Almost as soon as he left home and set up his stall in the county town, he could not escape the eyes of the villagers.

After the last market day, word of a new type of chair began to spread in the county town. Everyone had different accounts, and the shapes they described were even more different.

Some prominent families in the county began to inquire which family spent twenty taels to buy the two chairs. In the end, they learned that the chairs were bought by the young lady of Zhou, the manager of Jubao Pavilion.

Several woodworking workshops in the city showed great interest in this chair and rushed to visit, wanting to take a look at this new type of chair. Unfortunately, the shopkeeper Zhou had gone out to collect debts and would be gone for ten days or half a month. It was inconvenient to entertain him as there were only female family members at home.

Therefore, every family would keep an eye on the market day, waiting for the chair seller to appear.

Not long after Shuisheng's stall was set up, each family received the news and sent a manager to visit.

"Hey! Little brother, are you out selling chairs again?"

Those who had the good fortune to try sitting on the chairs at the last market, when they came to the market this time and saw Shuisheng bring out three more chairs, they could not help but stop and watch, their eyes filled with envy, because those were not just three chairs, they were thirty taels of cash!

"Yes, big brother, do you want to buy one to take back?" Shuisheng asked with a smile, sitting leisurely on one of the chairs.

"Oh, I can't afford ten taels of silver, but I would be happy if you could let me sit on it." The man said with a smug look.

"That's no big deal, just sit down." What would happen if it were to break down after sitting for a while?

"really?"

"really."

The man was no longer in a hurry to go to the market. After getting Shuisheng's permission, he shamelessly sat on a chair, closed his eyes and enjoyed himself.

Although he couldn't afford a chair that cost ten taels of silver, he had sat on it before, more than once, and he could feel proud when he talked about it.

The onlookers were all laughing and scolding him: "You are so shameless."

In the crowd, the managers of each family watched for a long time. No one was in a hurry to step forward. They were all waiting to see how the managers of other families would act. The key was that if the enemy didn't move, I wouldn't move either. It would depend on who loses patience first.

Suddenly, a manager came out first and looked at the three chairs again and again. The managers of the other families looked at each other in confusion and hurried over.

"Little brother, can I try to sit on it?" asked the manager who came out first.

Shuisheng knew at a glance that this was a powerful person, so he quickly stood up from his chair and invited the steward to try sitting down, "Please."

Under Shuisheng's guidance, the steward sat on the chair and swayed in it, feeling so comfortable that he didn't want to get up. He felt that he was no longer a steward but rather the boss.

"Hahaha, very good, very good."

He stood up from his chair and asked Shuisheng, "Little brother, how much do you want for this chair?"

Shuisheng said hurriedly: "To be honest, a chair costs ten taels of silver."

The other managers were still watching from the sidelines, but the manager did something unconventional. He readily took out thirty taels of silver.

"I want all three chairs." He readily took out thirty taels of silver and handed it to Shuisheng, then waved his hand and asked someone to come up and move the chairs.

Several managers became anxious upon seeing this, and stepped forward and said, "Hey! Manager Zhang, you can't do this, you have to leave one for us..."

"That's right, Manager Zhang, how could you keep it all for yourself? It's not fair of you to do that."

"I'm spending money on the transaction, which is reasonable and lawful. How can I be dishonest?" The man called Manager Zhang was in a good mood. He took the initiative to take all three chairs and even had time to squeeze others.

"When doing business, you have to pay attention to timing. You are afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind. If you lose the opportunity, then you can't blame Zhang. Hahaha! Excuse me, excuse me..."

When a steward saw that he was about to leave, he quickly grabbed Steward Zhang and said in a negotiating tone: "Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, let's make a deal. How about you give me one?"

Manager Zhang paused, stretched out two fingers with a half-smile, and said, "I'll give you one, twenty taels of silver."

"Twenty taels of silver! You, you are asking for too much." The manager was immediately furious.

Manager Zhang said, "Perhaps Manager Wan can wait until our Zhang family wood shop has new products before buying them from our store. Since we are all acquaintances, I will guarantee to give you the most affordable price then."

In the county, both the Zhang family and the Wan family started out in the timber business. As competitors, the two families have never gotten along. If the Wan family really went to the Zhang family's timber shop to buy goods, wouldn't that be the biggest joke in the entire county?

There was no time to care about other people's feelings. In this attempt to seize the initiative, Manager Zhang won the victory in one fell swoop. He called a few followers with a happy face to move the chair away.

The other managers were unwilling to give up, so they found Shuisheng and asked, "Little brother, do you still have this chair at home?"

"Gone." Shuisheng told the truth.

Manager Wan came over and said, "Where are the drawings? Are you willing to sell the drawings of this chair? We, the Wan family, can buy all the drawings you have at a high price." He guessed that to be able to make such a novel product, this person must know more than one style.

"drawing?"

Shuisheng had never thought about the possibility of selling the blueprints. He hesitated for a moment. Seeing him like this, Manager Wan became more certain of his guess.

"Yes, if you are willing, you can bring the drawings to our Wanjia Woodworking Workshop to find me, and the price can be negotiated."

"I have to discuss this matter with my family." Shuisheng said. He was undecided whether to sell the drawings or not. He had to go back and talk to Hang Shuheng about this.

As long as you think about it, you are halfway to success. Manager Wan was in a good mood and said, "Then I will wait for your good news at the Wan Family Woodworking Workshop."

Shuisheng looked at Manager Wan's back as he left, muttering to himself, he hadn't even agreed to sell him the drawings, so why was he so happy?

There were several villagers from Shangtang Village in the crowd. They watched Shuisheng sell the chair from beginning to end and got thirty taels of silver just like that. It was even more shocking to see it with their own eyes.

Before Shuisheng returned from Chengli, the story of his selling chairs today had already spread throughout the village, making every family in the village envious.

At this moment, all the families thought that Shuisheng had reached the right age for marriage. Those who had daughters of marriageable age couldn't help but make some plans, while those who didn't have daughters were wondering if their relatives on her natal side had any girls who were suitable for marriage.

Each family has its own plans, and Shuisheng has become a popular person in the village at this time.

When Shuisheng returned to the village, he clearly felt that the way people looked at him was different from usual. It was as if they were looking at a piece of braised pork that would be scrambled for by everyone the next moment.
