12.第12章 买瓦片

牛车大约行了一个多时辰，便到了石湾。

从石湾村边过，拐入一条岔道，又走了大概一刻钟，便看到前方一大片裸露的黄土场。

中间是宽阔的平地，一面是入口，一面高高的堆放着许多烧制好的砖瓦，另外两面顺着山坎挖了大大小小七八个窑口，窑口旁边堆放着一堆堆的黄泥、砖瓦模子、烧窑的木柴、木桶、木盆、铲子、小推车等物。五六个穿着补丁短褐的工人正在忙碌着。

看到他们过来，场主石老材便袖着双手笑眯眯的过来，打量道：“这位老哥，是来买砖还是买瓦啊？”

李大木便笑道：“我这邻居屋顶要修一修，特意过来买些瓦片。”

“哦，这边请，请吧！我这儿用的泥好，窑也好，烧出来的瓦片质量最好了，经久耐用，价钱也公道！呵呵！”石老材笑眯眯的领着他们往一旁堆放的瓦堆走去。

连芳洲便笑道：“我们三间房，有一间半需要重新换新瓦片，另外一间半只怕也得换一些。总共就要两间房的吧！大概总共有五十个平方左右！您给算算一共需要多少。”

她说着又腼腆的笑了笑，道：“我们要的也不多，也不好意思再跟您讲价钱了！您说个公道价就行！等将来盖新房子了，再来您这儿光顾！”

连芳洲吐字清楚，语言流畅，行云流水般说得清清楚楚，明明白白，把个石老材倒是听得怔住了。

石老材不由的半眯起眼睛打量着眼前的姑娘，十四五岁的年纪，身形略显单薄，穿着旧而干净的枣红碎花粗布衣裳，面容清瘦，一双眸子却炯炯有神，小巧的嘴唇，面上微微带着笑，梳着乡下小姑娘常见的垂髾，整整齐齐，干净利落，整个人透着一股精神劲儿，叫人见了便情不自禁心生好感。

石老材不由得哈哈大笑了起来，瞧着连芳洲连说了几个“好”字，竖起大拇指笑道：“这位姑娘真是个伶俐爽快聪明人，呵呵，不知哪家这么有福气，有个这么好的女儿！成，就冲你那番话，老爷子我听得舒坦，这价钱我给你最低，东西也给你最好的！”

“那就多谢石老板了！”连芳洲笑着点头。

连泽这两天见识过了连芳洲的口舌，并不觉得什么，那李大木却是同石老材一样，呆住了！

连芳洲刚才的表现完全颠覆了她在他心中的印象。

如果不是人还是那个人，模样儿一点没变，连泽也在旁边，他几乎都要怀疑，眼前这姑娘真的是连芳洲吗？

李大木暗暗叹息：看来杨家退亲和花家媳妇撒泼的事对这丫头的刺激真的是太大了！

石老材笑着道了声“不客气”忽然起了逗弄的心思，便又向连芳洲笑道：“小姑娘啊，我这一片瓦就这么大，你要是能算得出来需要多少片，我就给你再便宜两成，如何？”

连芳洲目光闪了闪，却是笑道：“我哪里能够算得那样准呢，您别开玩笑了。”

石老材摆摆手，掠了掠那不长不短的胡子笑道：“我可不是开玩笑，是认真的！呵呵，其实谁能算得一块不差呢，只要差不离就算你赢！”

瞧着石老材饶有兴味的眼神，连芳洲想了想，便点点头客客气气笑道：“既然如此，那我可就献丑了，如果我算得不准确，大叔你们可别笑话我！”

石老材呵呵笑道：“不会、不会，你且算来瞧瞧。”

干活的工人们听见了，见连芳洲这么小一个小姑娘，居然也会算数，不由好奇纷纷停下手里活计围过来看热闹，七嘴八舌的小声议论着。

连芳洲便拿过一片瓦片，用手指比划估计了一下长和宽好计算面积，这地上是一层薄薄的黄土，她随手折了一根细细的树枝蹲了下去，随手在地上划了起来。

众工人们从来没有见过阿拉伯数字，见她在地上划拉着不由“咦”的一声大为奇怪，一人忍不住问石老材道：“石老板，这小姑娘写的是什么呀？”

“就是啊，这是什么字啊？真是奇怪！”

“可不，从来没见过。”

“我说，这是字吗？我怎么觉着像五云观里张天师画的符啊！”

众人听了这话，忍不住哈哈大笑起来。

连泽见他们取笑连芳洲不禁涨红了脸，大声说道：“我姐姐既然敢试就一定能行！你们笑什么？有什么好笑的！”

众人听了笑得更加大声，一边笑还一边打趣连泽。

石老材“咳咳”两声，这才消停了。

连芳洲微微一笑，既不分辨也无尴尬，而是行云流水般的划拨自己的。

其实这是很简单的数学题，不过两三句话的功夫，她已经算好了，笑着报了一个数。同时站了起来，顺便用脚将地上的痕迹尽数抹去。

“这么快就好了？”石老材目瞪口呆，众人也一下子愣住了。

算账不用算盘，而且还这么快，可真邪门了！

“老板，对不对、对不对啊！”众人议论纷纷，迫不及待。

石老材一瞪：对不对他哪儿知道？他也得算过才知道啊！

不等他吩咐，早有工人飞跑去将算盘拿了来，双手递给他。众人无数双眼睛齐刷刷的瞪着他。

“姐，你算的准不准啊？”连泽忍不住小声问连芳洲。李大木也关切看了过来。

连芳洲不疾不徐，瞧了一眼算盘珠子拨走如飞的石老板，微笑道：“等石老板算出来便知道了！”

她从容不迫的神情和恬淡的微笑令忐忑的连泽一下子安下心来，连泽脱口便道：“我相信姐姐算的一定是对的。”

“哦？”连芳洲倒好笑了起来，“为什么呀？”

连泽固执的道：“我也不知道，反正我就是相信姐姐。”

连芳洲满意的点点头，笑道：“好弟弟。”

“神了！还真神了！”石老材瞧着算盘上的数字，惊愕得说不出话来。

“真的准了！”

“不是吧！准了！”

众工人也大感诧异。

李大木和连泽却是一颗心落了地，两人相视而笑，都为连芳洲欢喜。

有人忍不住道：“老板，要不您再算一遍？”

石老材一巴掌拍在那人的后脑上，眼睛一瞪：“你这杀才！怎么？怀疑我算的不对！”

“不是不是……”那人脸上一红，慌忙否认，引得众人哄笑起来。

“笑什么笑什么！还不赶紧干活去！”石老材瞪向众人。

众人嘴里答应着，忍不住多瞧了连芳洲几眼议论纷纷的去了。

“石老板，刚才你说的话可算话吧？”李大木笑道。

“算话！当然算话！”石老材很干脆的点点头，朝连芳洲竖起了大拇指：“连姑娘真是我见过最聪明的姑娘，真行！不过，连姑娘，你刚才在地上比划的那是些什么玩意儿啊？”
