Chapter 46 Counterfeiting

Qin Zhao walked in swagger.

"Customer, come and see the spring soft chairs we are waiting for? The store is operated with integrity and sold at a conscientious price. Each soft chair is only sold for six taels of silver. Two pairs are only twelve taels of silver. You can move this decent soft chair back home and put it in the main hall!"

Qin Zhao looked at it and found that there were about a dozen customers in the store, most of which were taken in from the street by this store. However, the ordinary people brought in from these streets had no purchasing power, and they often left casually. Occasionally, a few of them walked into this store by themselves, and they were obviously from the Qin Spring Soft Chair Store.

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "I'll try to sit down."

The guy's face stagnated when he heard this, but then he pretended to be full of confidence and shook his hand and said, "Okay, objectively, you can sit as long as you want, sit as long as you want."

When Qin Zhao heard this, he knew that the store didn't want someone to try it out. Because after this guy said this, Qin Zhao felt that he was talking about a customer trying it out to take advantage of the store.

The guy walked to the store, looked left and right, and finally said to Qin Zhao: "Customer, please sit on this soft chair!"

Qin Zhao thought to himself that the soft chair he tried to sit on was still a designated one! He walked up and sat on the designated soft chair.

After doing it, Qin Zhao felt it was OK. The spring under the sponge encountered the squeeze of the human body, and it was a little rebellious at the beginning, providing a little recoil force.

The guy wanted to pull Qin Zhao up immediately and said loudly: "Customer! Have you tried it? How about it?"

Qin Zhao was not in a hurry, so he raised one foot and sat down on the soft chair and couldn't get up.

After sitting for half a minute, Qin Zhao found that the spring's elasticity was over.

The soft chairs in this store are so cheap, and a soft chair costs six taels of silver, which is probably only one or two taels of silver. What kind of steel is used for such a counterfeiter? It is impossible to use fine steel, it is good to use fine iron! Maybe it is also used to use cooked iron cooked from one furnace at a time in Foshan.

How elastic can such an iron spring have? At the beginning, there is still a little elasticity to resist the squeezing pressure. When the external squeezing pressure stabilizes, the iron of the iron spring will lose its elasticity and become a circle of iron wire that does not resist the external force at all.

Qin Zhao sat down and felt like he was sitting on a row of iron circles, and his butt was uncomfortable and very uncomfortable.

The guy in the store saw Qin Zhao's face change and knew that Qin Zhao had figured out the trick of this cheap soft chair, and his face turned dark.

"If you want to buy it, buy it, and if you don't buy it, leave! What are you sitting on my soft chair? Do you want to destroy my soft chair?"

Qin Wuji frowned when he heard this, and went up to curse, "How did Dog Bones say?"

A few guys immediately surrounded him, staring at him one by one, as if he was about to pull Qin Zhao up from the soft chair.

Qin Zhao smiled, stood up and said, "Qin Wuji, let's go!"

The two walked out of Wu's spring soft chair shop.

Qin Wuji asked: "Owner, how about this store?"

Qin Zhao smiled and said, "This store is just a joke and will basically not affect our business."

...

Sun Caisheng stood in his main hall, bowed to the two guests and said, "Which gust of wind blows the two old friends, it's really a mistake to welcome you."

The lowest level in the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty was called the Boy Test. The Boy Test was held locally and divided into three stages: "county test", "official test" and "college test". If you pass the county, you can be called "tongsheng". After you get the qualification of a boy, you can participate in the college examination. Those who pass the exam are called students, that is, scholars.

The scholars call each other "old friends" or "friends", and the scholar and Tongsheng call each other "little friends". However, if Tongsheng calls him "school friends", he cannot call him "old friends", but he must be called "hunter" like ordinary people.

Sun Caisheng himself is a scholar. The two guests he welcomes today are scholars, so he calls each other "two old friends".

One of the two guests was called Fan Zhengyun and the other was called Hedao.

As soon as Lai Hedao entered the house, he pointed to the four spring soft chairs on the main hall and said, "My old friend Sun, I just saw the peddler carrying four spring soft chairs into your door. I was watching the fun."

Hearing this, Sun Caisheng smiled and said, "I bought it at the Wu Spring Soft Chair Store in Xiguan. They just delivered it to me, and I haven't sat there yet."

Lai Hedao said: "Isn't the spring soft chair the Qin family's property? Now someone imitates it?"

Sun Caisheng said loudly: "Two old friends, to be honest, I can't stand the Qin family's face of setting up a maze array and cheating money. How much does a soft stool cost? It's just the price of some water and fine iron. He actually sold it at a sky-high price of 16 taels per hand. What's not to blackmail while others are easy to talk about? I, Sun Caisheng, was the first to dislike this style. When the Wu family first imitated it, I paid for four. Hey, four spring soft stools! It only cost twenty-four taels!"

The two guests looked at each other and said, "Old Friend Sun is a person who will not suffer any losses. Both Fan and I paid deposits at the Qin Spring Soft Chair Store. Who knew that the Qin family's business was so good that it would be unreasonable. They said that even if I paid now, it would take half a month to get the goods. I waited on the way and saw you pick up the goods from the Wu family's store that day, which was really jealous. If the Wu family's goods were also good, I would not want the few taels of silver deposits and went to the Wu family's store to buy the spring Soft Chair."

Sun Caisheng smiled and said, "Then let's try it together. The Wu family sent someone to bring the soft chairs here just now. I'm putting them in the main hall yet to try it!"

The three of them divided the guests and sat down slowly on the three spring soft chairs.

"It's OK! It's OK! It's indeed soft."

As soon as the three of them sat down, the scholar came to the scene and exclaimed.

Sun Caisheng sat on the soft chair, feeling that it was indeed similar to the soft chair of the Qin family, and he was very proud.

He said: "The spring soft chair of six taels of silver is similar to the soft chair of sixteen taels of silver. The Qin family is too unintentional, and they actually extorted ten taels of silver for us."

"You both think it's okay? The Wu family in Xiguan is still serious! I think you can go to the Qin family's store to argue and get back the few taels of gold and silver. After all, someone else sells six taels of silver for soft chairs, why do you want to sell for sixteen taels? This is obviously a blackmail of honest people!"

The two guests looked at each other and didn't say anything. It would be very troublesome to get the deposit back after placing the deposit.

Sun Caisheng smiled and said to the servant standing next to him: "What are you doing while standing? Why don't you bring tea to the guests quickly?"

The servant went down to make tea quickly.

Everyone sat there and started chatting.

Fan Zhengyun said: "Oh, I feel irritated after frequent bad news. How does Old Friend Sun feel?"

Sun Caisheng immediately knew that Fan Zhengyun was talking about Emperor Chongzhen hanging himself. He shook his head in pain, sighed a long time, rubbed his sleeves at the corner of his eyes, and said, "I didn't expect that in broad daylight, the thief could actually break through the pass and attack the Shenjing. The emperor worked hard all his life. Although they all said they were mean, they were also a wise king who only wanted to save the country. He never expected that one day he would have no way out and would have to hang himself in Jingshan."

Lai Hedao waved his hand suddenly and said, "It's a pity that the court has been controlled by treacherous ministers. First, there were Wei Yan from the Tianqi Dynasty, Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru and other treacherous ministers. The people in the court were panicked, and all the troops were useless and military funds were not willing to advance or retreat, which eventually led to the current situation."

Sun Caisheng sighed and said, "A treacherous minister is a disaster."

The other two agreed.

But as he spoke, the three of them looked a little wrong.

Lai Hedao suddenly said embarrassedly: "Why doesn't this chair pop up after it collapses? I feel that the sea sponge has been crushed by my butt, and the spring below has no elasticity. My whole butt seems to be sitting on three or four wire circles."

Fan Zhengyun also said: "Yes, where is this a spring? This is clearly a circle of wires. When I first sat on it, I still squeezed it up, but after sitting for a long time, I lost any elasticity and my whole butt pressed on those circles of wires."

If the spring is tough and elastic, it will wrap the user's butt in all directions from all directions, providing support on a large contact area. If the spring loses elasticity, the sofa user will press a small part of the butt on the few springs on the front, which is very uncomfortable.

The guest came to Hedao and stood up: "Carry! This spring soft chair is not good, sitting on it is a sensation for the iron wire! It's not as comfortable as the wooden chair."
