Chen the Third chuckled awkwardly and said, "Miss, I'm selling knives, scissors, and household iron goods. If you don't want a knife, a pair of scissors or a sickle would be good too. I've got goods in my basket, all kinds, made by myself. They're sharp and durable, and the price is cheap."
As he spoke, he placed the basket on the ground for Song Jinxiu to choose from.
Song Jinxiu looked into the basket.
Indeed, in this basket, there were plenty of scissors, kitchen knives, sickle heads, hoes, and shovel heads.
Apart from the three kitchen knives he held for attracting customers, the other iron goods were wrapped in oil paper to prevent rust.
Chen the Third unwrapped a few items for Song Jinxiu to see, "Look at this sickle head, how well it's polished. Just put on a wooden handle and it's ready to use. And this shovel head, see, it's all ready to use, very sharp."
The Chen Family's main business was, firstly, boating, and secondly, farming.
