Chapter 62: The workmanship is really solid
Lu Chengjing said quietly: "Actually, Master originally wanted to give you a B-level rating. At that time, I happened to ask Master for advice, and Master asked me how your article was. Considering the friendship between classmates, I I’ll give you a nice word.”
"What did you say?" There was a bang in Yan Rui's mind. The only time he stood up to Lu Chengjing was because of Lu Chengjing's charity?
Yan Rui didn't want to believe it, but there was no need for Lu Chengjing to lie to him about something that he would know as soon as he asked his wife.
After the results of the quiz came out that day, he went out of his way to mock Lu Chengjing. He was so excited that he framed the article and hung it in his study. He was so happy that he hosted a banquet for relatives and friends for three days. And... Thinking of all the things he had done, Yan Rui couldn't bear it. After the blow, he rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Brother Yan!" The students hurriedly caught him and carried him to the hospital in embarrassment.
Shang Wan curled his lips, this person's endurance was too poor.
The people in the store watched the excitement for free, and they were quite unsatisfied. Their eyes fell on Lu Chengjing from time to time.
It turns out that the rumors are true. The third young master of the Lu family has really been removed from the family tree and is no longer a descendant of the Lu family.
The waiter's smile froze on his face. He originally saw Shang Wan and his entourage coming in a bullock cart, but they were well-dressed and should have some wealth, but now he was not sure.
He has also heard rumors about the Lu family. Can a young master who was kicked out of the family still leave home and afford the price of a wheelchair?
While the waiter hesitated, Shitou had already sat on the first wheelchair with Lu Chengjing on his back.
Shang Wan greeted the waiter, "Brother, please introduce me to how to use this wheelchair."
Everyone has been moved out. The waiter calmed down, smiled again, and stepped forward to introduce the use of the wheelchair.
In fact, the usage is very simple. It is nothing more than pushing by others and pushing by yourself. When it stops, there are small mechanisms on the armrests and the back of the chair. By turning it, the wheels can be blocked. Even if it is parked on a slope, it will not stop. Slide down.
After trying out four wheelchairs, the one customized by a nobleman and made of huanghuali wood was the lightest to use, and the carvings happened to be magnolia.
There are several mechanisms on the armrest of the wheelchair, which can not only open the internal storage on the right side, but also shoot short arrows on the left side for self-defense. The armrest can be rotated and unfolded to form a small table on which you can simply write and draw. It can be said that there are many functions. Functional wheelchair.
The more Shang Wan looked at it, the more satisfied he became. When he asked about the price, well, a wheelchair cost three hundred taels of silver, and that was after a discount. It originally cost five hundred taels.
The clerk explained with a smile: "An ordinary armchair made of huanghuali wood costs dozens of taels of silver, not to mention a wheelchair with complicated workmanship. This wheelchair also has built-in mechanisms, and the six short arrows inside are all given by the store. Yes, it’s not included in the cost.”
Shang Wan knew that the wheelchair was worth the price, but she didn't have enough money.
Xiaohuan tried to bargain with the clerk, and the clerk pushed out the wheelchair next to him with a smile.
"If you feel that the price is not right, why not take a look at this wheelchair. It only costs one hundred and twenty taels and is equally strong and durable. If you buy it sincerely, the store will give you a discount."
The attitude is very clear, no bargaining on the expensive ones, but negotiable on the cheap ones.
Lu Chengjing didn't care which wheelchair he got. Considering his family's situation, the cheapest one was expensive. Rather than buying him a wheelchair, he hopes his family will build a new house.
He said: "Still not..."
"This is the expensive one." Shang Wan decided and said to the waiter, "I'll pay a deposit of ten taels first and I'll pick it up later."
The waiter was stunned and kindly reminded: "Sir, once you pay the deposit, the store will not refund it."
He was worried that Shang Wan would make a fool of himself and pretend to be fat.
Shang Wan directly asked Shitou to give ten taels of silver to the clerk. The clerk wrote a note to the shopkeeper, to the effect that he would not sell the wheelchair to a second person before tomorrow. There was also the seal of the carpentry workshop at the bottom of the note.
After leaving the wood workshop and sitting on the bullock cart again, Shitou asked curiously: "Sister, where can we get so much money?"
Lu Chengjing and Xiaohuan also looked over.
Shang Wan said: "I have my own way. You go to the rice shop on East Street to buy rice noodles. I will find you later."
After saying that, he jumped off the bullock cart, not giving Lu Chengjing and the others a chance to ask questions. Lu Chengjing looked at the direction Shang Wan left for a long time before looking back, looking down at his legs, his eyes dark.
Yuanyuan's little mouth was flat and her little face drooped unhappily. Her mother didn't let her play with her!
It’s not that Shang Wan doesn’t take her with her, it’s that the places she goes to are not suitable for children.
In terms of the fastest way to make money, of course it is the gambling house.
However, this method can only be used once in a while for emergencies. After all, money from gambling houses is not that easy to get.
After getting rid of the few thugs who followed him, Shang Wan walked back into the carpentry workshop with three hundred taels of silver in his pocket.
The guy's eyes lit up and he came over with a smile.
Shang Wan didn't talk nonsense to him, he paid the money and delivered the goods.
The clerk's face was about to burst into laughter. He could get a reward of five taels of silver for selling this wheelchair.
He said politely: "Sir, if it's inconvenient for you to take care of yourself, I'll arrange for someone to take it to your house."
"No need." Shang Wan waved his hand. After checking that the wheelchair was OK, he carried the wheelchair and left.
The guy's mouth opened wide in shock.
Pedestrians on the road had almost the same reaction as the waiter. Shang Wan didn't realize there was anything wrong with carrying a wheelchair and strutting through the city. It was too slow to push it, but it was more convenient to carry it.
Two streets past the wood workshop is East Street, with a wide range of shops and a variety of goods. There are various ways to attract customers, and it is very lively.
The bustling crowd spontaneously made way for Shang Wan, and at the same time looked at Shang Wan as if they were looking at rare animals.
Shang Wan looked around and saw the Zhang family's ox cart parked at the door of a rice shop on the left. A crowd of people gathered in front of the rice shop directly opposite, making noisy noises and not knowing what they were doing.
Hearing a vaguely familiar voice, Shang Wan's expression condensed, and he squeezed into the crowd of onlookers with his wheelchair on his shoulders.
"Please give way."
Shang Wan used his wheelchair to clear a path, and when he looked up, he saw Shitou and Xiaohuan being held by two rice shop guys. Next to him, a disheveled woman sat on the ground covering her face and crying, while another rice shop guy held the arms. He pushed the round Lu Chengjing to the ground and hit the stone corner.
The nerves in Shang Wan's brain snapped. He picked up the wheelchair and threw it at the guy without thinking.
The wheelchair weighed so much that the man was caught off guard and was knocked away by the wheelchair. He hit the wall and vomited blood and fell into a coma.
On the other hand, the wheelchair is fine and the workmanship is really solid.
"Sister!" Shitou and Xiaohuan seemed to have seen their savior.
Shang Wan easily broke off two pieces of wood from the door frame and hit the head of the man who was holding the two of them accurately. The two of them were knocked unconscious without even a grunt.
"Mom!" The soft little voice was full of anxiety. Yuanyuan tried her best to squeeze her little head out of Lu Chengjing's arms and waved her little hands towards Shang Wan, "Daddy! Red! Red!"
In order to protect Yuanyuan, Lu Chengjing hit his head on the sharp corner of the stone bucket. His forehead was broken and there was a pool of blood.
Shang Wan hurried over, picked him up, and placed him on the wheelchair pushed by the stone. Looking at Lu Chengjing's pale face, his heart surged with anger.
"What kind of shrew dares to run wild in Lufeng Mipu without even looking at whose territory this is!" the shopkeeper of Mipu shouted, "Come here, arrest them all and send them to the official!"
