Chapter 167: Dawn in the Mountain Village (3)
After another 10,000 yuan, Lin Baiyu did not leave, but went to the boss's to buy two more rough stones. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info She felt the aura in the stone, which means that there must be jadeite in it - there are very few jadeite in the leftovers, and there are only two pieces left in the whole store with jadeite - Lin Baiyu did not choose to cut the stone this time. She was not short of money now, and the aura in the jade could help her cultivate, how could she sell it easily? Although it was a little more difficult to absorb the aura if the stone was not cut than the jade that was cut, it was not too big. Let them continue to keep the state of the stone, just open the jadeite has already made her high-profile, if these two pieces also open jadeite, it is not a matter of money, but trouble.
Lin Baiyu came to the boss with two rough stones and gave the boss the money to buy the stones, this time it was not just a hundred yuan a piece, but the original price.
The boss handed a cloth bag to Lin Baiyu: "Girl, use this bag to pack it up, it's inconvenient to hold it with your hands." β
Lin Baiyu thanked the boss, took the bag, put the rough stone into the bag, and then carried the cloth bag on her back.
"Look at the girl's appearance, she should have just come to the provincial capital, right?" The boss chatted with Lin Baiyu about borrowing a cloth bag.
Lin Baiyu nodded: "Just came to the provincial capital today?"
The boss asked, "Have you found a place to stay?"
Lin Baiyu shook her head: "Not yet." β
The boss said: "I have a yard, which is specially rented to outsiders, and there happens to be a vacant room, can you rent it?"
The boss is such a nice person, just to solve her biggest problem at the moment. Lin Baiyu nodded gratefully: "Thank you boss, then I'll trouble you." β
"What's the trouble, I'm not giving you a house to live in for nothing, I'm going to collect rent. The boss smiled, "You sit in my shop for a while, and then I'll call my wife and ask my wife to take you to the house." β
"Okay. β
The boss has the heart to have a good relationship with Lin Baiyu, and he chatters with Lin Baiyu in his spare time for business. From the mouth of the boss, she knew that the boss's name was Li Defu, his wife's name was Zhou Juan, and there was a son Li Guangtai, who graduated from college and became a lawyer. The living conditions of the family are very good, and in addition to this faΓ§ade, they bought a four-bedroom and two-hall house in the garden complex. The house rented to Lin Baiyu is in the old city, with a small courtyard on the second floor with an attic, which is the kind of old-fashioned hotel. Since the advent of guest houses, this old-fashioned hotel has not been occupied, and the Li family rented rooms to people who came to the provincial capital to work.
Li Defu's wife Zhou Juan is not more discerning than Zhou Juan, and a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes after seeing Lin Baiyu's dress, and her attitude was not very enthusiastic. Li Defu glared at his wife fiercely, pulled her aside, and told his wife that Lin Baiyu had just made 10,000 yuan from gambling on stones.
Zhou Juan pouted: "Isn't it only 10,000 yuan? Do you want to talk to that village girl like this? Don't you have a monthly turnover of 10,000 yuan in this shop?"
"Am I because of the money? I like this girl's vision and bearing. The boss said, "Although this girl is dressed rustic, she has an extraordinary bearing, and she will definitely not be an ordinary person in the future." Just give her a chance to soar. β
After speaking, he told Zhou Juan: "Put away your late mother's face and entertain others." If this girl is not satisfied and leaves, I will ask you. β
Zhou Juan pouted unwillingly: "I know, be enthusiastic, the old lady doesn't know." β
Although the voices of the two were small, they both fell into Lin Baiyu's ears. For Li Defu's transparency and vision, Lin Baiyu was both surprised and admired, and her good impression of him was even greater. As for Zhou Juan, this kind of person doesn't need to pay attention to it at all.
After Li Defu and Zhou Juan finished talking, the two returned to Lin Baiyu. Zhou Juan's face was already smiling like a flower, and she was very enthusiastic: "Take my brother, let's go with my aunt, and my aunt will take you to the house." You are in the dust, you should wash and rest early. β
This is the speed at which the face changes...... Lin Baiyu also admired Zhou Juan a little.
"Thank you, auntie. "When other people's attitudes have changed, you have to give others some face.
The area of the old house of the Li family is very lively, it was originally a mule and horse market, it is said to have a history of 180 years, and the market moved to the suburbs more than 30 years ago, but the natural market here has not been moved, and all kinds of small stalls and shops are messy but full of popularity. More than a dozen families live in the courtyard of the Li family, and many families are crammed into one room, each room is up to ten square meters, and it is difficult to understand how these people live. Every household set up a honeycomb coal stove outside the door to cook rice and stir-fry, and as soon as Lin Baiyu entered the courtyard, she was smoked by all kinds of smells mixed in the air.
She frowned slightly, there were too many people here, so she could only settle for a while, and then find a quiet house to move out after she was familiar with the provincial capital.
Seeing Zhou Juan walk in, the tenants greeted her one after another, and after seeing Lin Baiyu again, they asked, "Mrs. landlady, is this girl a new tenant?"
"Yes, you just arrived in the provincial capital today, you have to take care of this girl more. Zhou Juan responded to everyone, and her attitude turned out to be good.
"Of course, of course. The tenants answered. Many of them came from the countryside to the city to beg for a living, and Lin Baiyu's current outfit made them look kind, and they all thought of helping.
Zhou Juan took Lin Baiyu to the second floor, opened a room, and said to Lin Baiyu: "Take my brother, you will live here in the future." Well, there is only a bed and a chair inside, and you have to buy your own groceries. There's a grocery store on the left side of our yard that has everything. Well, you'd better buy a spittoon. There are no toilets in our yard, so you have to go to the public toilet 200 meters away on the right. If it is really inconvenient to get up at night, I use a spittoon and pour it into the public toilet in the morning. β
Lin Baiyu's black line, the spittoon here is equivalent to the ancient toilet, not to mention that she didn't let the maid put the toilet in her room to smoke herself during the David Dynasty, let alone experience the world?
"The rent is one hundred a month, and the deposit is three hundred. Auntie knows you have money now, and she doesn't care about it, does she?"
Lin Baiyu smiled and nodded, took out four hundred yuan and handed it to Zhou Juan.
Zhou Juan took the money and was very happy: "Auntie likes you to do this happy child." β
Lin Baiyu sent Zhou Juan out of the yard with a smile, and turned around and went to the grocery store that Zhou Juan said. Although she had a lot of things in her space, some things didn't, and she had to make a show of not being seen out of thin air.
Quilts, pillows, sheets...... Lin Baiyu bought hundreds of yuan of things at once, which made the boss extremely happy, there were too many things to see, Lin Baiyu would definitely not be able to take them alone, and she also asked a salesperson to help Lin Baiyu deliver things to her residence.
After putting everything in place, Lin Baiyu touched her stomach and decided to go out to eat. There are many snack bars and small restaurants on this street, all of which look good, and every meal is the same without reunion. Lin Baiyu didn't think about cooking by herself, first, it was too inconvenient to set up a stove at the door of the room to cook, and second, she wanted to spend more time cultivating. Since the aura is found in the jadeite, I have to use it, and I don't know if the jadeite of the modern and David Dynasty also has the aura. To be sure, not every world of jadeite contains aura. It's like the world of "Antique Zombies", otherwise people in the cultivation world would have rushed to buy jadeite.
There was a knock on the door, and Lin Baiyu opened the door suspiciously, only to see a middle-aged woman with a bowl standing outside. Lin Baiyu remembered that she was the one who asked Zhou Juan if she was the new tenant.
"Is there anything wrong?"
The middle-aged woman smiled: "Sister, I live in room No. 1 downstairs, you can teach me sister-in-law Zhang." β
"Sister-in-law Zhang," Lin Baiyu shouted, "My name is Brother Lin." β
"Take your younger brothers and sisters," Sister-in-law Zhang said with a smile, "I see that you just moved here, and you haven't bought a stove, so you can't cook." It just so happens that I've done a little more, so I'll send you some, don't dislike it. β
In the face of such sincere help, Lin Baiyu didn't know how to deal with it. She could only take the plate and thank Sister-in-law Zhang: "Thank you, sister-in-law." β
Sister-in-law Zhang said, "Okay, I'll go first." The head of the house and the children are still waiting for me to eat. β
"Sister-in-law, wait a minute. Lin Baiyu hurriedly stopped Sister-in-law Zhang, put the plate containing vegetables on the stool, grabbed two handfuls of fruit candy from the space and stuffed them into Sister-in-law Zhang's hands, and said, "Sister-in-law, I just came here today, I only bought some candy, you can take it back and give it to the children." β
Sister-in-law Zhang did not postpone it, and went back happily with candy.
Lin Baiyu closed the door and looked at the plate on the stool. There are two dishes on the plate, one is vinegared cabbage and the other is fried meat with chili, although the amount of meat is not much, but it smells very good.
The knock on the door rang again, Lin Baiyu opened the door, and there was another middle-aged woman outside the door, it was Sister-in-law Zheng from House No. 5 downstairs, who brought a plate of dishes with potato chips and fried meat. Lin Baiyu used candy as a gift in return.
Next, there was a constant knock on the door, and almost every household brought food, which together = a lot of portions, enough for Lin Baiyu to eat for three or four days.
The door was knocked again, Lin Baiyu opened the door, and outside was a seven or eight-year-old boy, holding up the plate in his hand: "Sister, grandma made dumplings, please eat." β
Lin Baiyu looked to the left, and the child's grandmother was standing at the door of their house laughing at the two of them. The family lived next to her, and both husband and wife had jobs, so they brought in her husband's mother to help take care of the children.
Lin Baiyu took the plate and touched the boy's little head: "Thank you." β
grabbed two handfuls of fruit candy and let the child hold it: "These candies are a return gift from my sister." β
"Thank you, sister. The boy exclaimed with great joy. There is no child who does not like sugar. He ran back to his grandmother with the fruit candy in his arms.
Lin Baiyu nodded gratefully at the old man and closed the door.
