Lao Yantou didn't expect Li Mu to be so generous, and immediately became uneasy after being ecstatic, because this pile of things cost fifty dollars, which is equivalent to forty taels of silver.
"This, this is too much" The expression on Lao Yantou's face was a mixture of sadness and joy, having said that, no matter which one was removed, Lao Yantou was reluctant.
In fact, in Li Mu's opinion, these things are not expensive, the steel industry in the United States is still very good, these tools are made of steel, and may even be alloy steel, this level of tools can not be bought in the Qing Empire at all, and there are several things that Li Mu can also use when he "invents" in the future, so it is nothing to spend more money, it is worth it There are indeed a lot of things, when Li Mu went to settle the bill, Yan Hu and Yan Shun ran back and forth three times before sending all the things to the carriage, and there were five or six kinds of handsaws and saws that needed to be used by two people, which really opened the eyes of Lao Yan, an old carpenter.
After buying the tools, I went to the store next to me and bought a few more buckets of paint, which met Li Mu's requirements.
After buying tools, the next thing to buy is daily necessities, when you walk into the textile store, all kinds of fabrics are simply dazzling Yan Mu and Chu Xue's eyes, the most common cloth is the "white foreign cloth" produced by the textile factory, that is, cotton cloth, and then there are linen and gauze, which is the best raw material for curtains and tablecloths, and more high-end silk from the East, British wool that is, woolen wool, and local leather to choose from, Li Mu even saw handmade carpets from Ottoman Turkey.
Of course, the fabric in the United States is not sold according to "horses", but by "rice", and Li Mu does not talk nonsense, and directly asks the clerk to get 100 meters, which should be enough for a long time at home.
When the silk was found, Li Mu asked the clerk to get another fifty meters of silk, which was ready to be used to make clothes.
In fact, curtains and tablecloths are sold in the store, and Li Mu originally wanted to buy them, but Yan's mother pulled Chu Xue and muttered sneakily for a while, and went to the curtains and tablecloths to look over and over for a long time, and finally came back and gave Li Mu a positive answer, these things can be done, and it doesn't take much effort.
Then don't buy it, you can save some points.
I really want to be blessed by the sheriff, Chu Xue and Yan's mother tossed curtains and tablecloths for a long time, but they still didn't buy the same, and the boss and the clerk didn't have the slightest impatience on their faces, and the smile on their faces was always very professional, which made Li Mu feel very unhappy, and bought two more carpets before stopping.
In fact, it is already very good, Li Mu has bought so much cotton cloth and silk, and he is already a rare big customer, and it is estimated that the boss has been happy in his heart.
It was already noon after buying the fabric, and when it was lunch time, Li Mu didn't want to go hungry to buy horses, so he found a restaurant at random, ready to eat something to continue shopping.
"Frank is a profiteer, I can guarantee that he must not have paid enough taxes on the carpets he sells, and tomorrow I will inform Anthony to investigate this guy properly, damn vampires, I will not spare him this time."
When he walked into the restaurant, Will was still angry.
Frank is the store where he bought things just now, although Will didn't speak, Frank still gave Li Mu a twenty percent discount, but it was obvious that Will was not satisfied with the strength of the discount.
"No wonder the Jews."
Li Mu was not surprised.
Frank was well-dressed, with long chin length hair on his temples and a beard, all of which were Jewish signs.
Jewish shrewdness is notoriously well-known among Westerners, accompanied by the fact that Jews are notorious in Western society, although generally wealthy but mostly rich, which makes Jews notorious in Western society, and in Europe, almost all non-Jews hate Jews.
Li Mu had no dealings with Jews, but he had also heard of all kinds of notoriety of Jews, which were very different from those "good people" in the Qing Empire.
The rich people in the East will give back to the society, donate money to build a bridge and pave a road for their hometown, and in the event of natural and man-made disasters, they will also give a porridge and put a grain or something.
Jews are different, Jews usually don't pluck a hair like an iron rooster, not to mention, when encountering natural and man-made disasters, Jews do not try to assume social responsibility, but are busy hoarding goods and raising prices to make a fortune, such Jews are really unlikeable.
"This is a bunch of vampires, moths and parasites of society, they don't do anything to society, they should all be thrown to Antarctica and let them make money as penguins."
Will also looked like a racist, and sat down at a random table with righteous indignation in his mouth.
In fact, many people in this era are racists, but some people will show it unscrupulously, and some people are better hidden, and racism is still very marketable in this era.
"It's not that exaggerated, at least they promote the flow of goods."
Li Mu sat down across from Will, not so much antipathy towards the Jews, and even Li Mu himself opposed racism, because for now, the Chinese community is also one of the victims of racism.
"You don't hate them because you haven't felt the pain yet."
Will disagreed with Li Mu.
"It's like you've felt it," Li Mu didn't believe that Frank, a businessman, would dare to offend Will, the sheriff.
When he said this, Li Mu suddenly felt that something was wrong, Li Mu came with the Yan family, this Li Mu and Will had been sitting down for a long time, but the Yan family hadn't come over yet, this was too slow.
As soon as he turned around, there was indeed a problem, two restaurant waiters stopped the Yan family at the door and prevented the Yan family from coming in; Although the Yan family was anxious, they couldn't understand the language, couldn't express themselves accurately, and were embarrassed to shout at Li Mu, so they were at the door like this.
"Look, that's the evil fruit of racism."
Li Mu pointed to the door and signaled to Will, although he felt insulted in his heart, he didn't blow up his hair immediately, as far as the current restaurant is concerned, although it is already meal time, all the people who come to eat are white, and there is no other color, which is very revealing.
In fact, the United States has just been freed from the civil war, not long after slavery was abolished, although blacks have achieved the corresponding social status, few blacks will really insist on exercising their rights.
With Will out of the horse, the problem was quickly resolved, Will just asked the waiter to pass a message, and the Yan family was let go.
Li Mu looked at all this without joy or sorrow, and the Chinese still have a long way to go if they want to be truly respected and obtain a social status that is in line with the efforts of the Chinese.
How to say that sentence, striking iron still needs its own hardness
