Yun Niang took the wooden hairpin, flipped it back and forth and looked at it carefully, and said: "Chu Jiu, it seems that your mother was originally a big family, this wooden hairpin looks inconspicuous, but it is the best sandalwood carving, it is a strange wood enshrined in the country of Bharata, ordinary people can't see it, only nobles deserve to have." The white orchid is carved vividly, it should be the handiwork of Master Zhou, and he should be invited to do it, and the lowest price is 10,000 taels of gold. Is your mother's surname white? Or is there a blue character in the name? ”

Tang Chujiu listened to Yun Niang's analysis and was quite shocked: "There is a blue character in my mother's name. ”

Yun Niang boldly guessed: "Chu Jiu, maybe you are a golden branch and jade leaf." ”

Tang Chujiu was stunned, and sighed after a long time: "No matter what my background is, it can't change my current situation, and I am still penniless." Yun Niang, I want to sell ice paddles to try, but I don't know if it works. ”

Yun Niang pinned the wooden hairpin to Tang Chujiu's hair: "Try it and you'll know if it works." ”

Tang Chujiu felt that his words were reasonable, and immediately started to make ice paddles.

Early the next morning, after putting on a human skin mask, he went to Dongdajie with two buckets of ice oars, picked the most prominent position with the most people, and set up a stall. More than half an hour passed, and no one cared. It wasn't until the hour that the first guest was finally ushered in, the chubby Luo family lady.

Watching the guests finish drinking the ice paddles, Tang Chujiu couldn't wait to ask, "How do you feel the taste?" ”

The lady of the Luo family put down the bowl: "It's delicious, it's cold and cold, it's very refreshing." ”

Tang Chujiu was relieved at this time, because he was the first guest, he only charged three cents.

As the sun got higher and higher, the weather became hotter and hotter, Tang Chujiu's two buckets of ice paddles, in less than two hours, were all sold out, happy to smile, put the money in the bucket and take it back to the bamboo garden, the first thing was to count the money, a total of 120 bowls were sold, 598 yuan, excluding the cost of soybeans and sugar, it actually earned 307 yuan.

Tang Chujiu was overjoyed, and suddenly felt that life was infinitely better. If you make so much money every day, I believe that in the near future, it will be possible to buy a house in the capital. When I think about this, I feel that my whole body is full of energy.

It's a pity that Leji is always sad, and when Tang Chujiu was sold on the sixth day, he was sued because he was red-eyed - he was arrested and put into the government. Because there is no official approval, there is no guarantor, and they buy and sell privately.

Tang Chujiu was dumbfounded, when he was in Xinghua Village, the villagers' own things, such as pears, peaches, tofu, etc., only had to be sold on the street, and there was no need for official approval and guarantors at all. What now?

The verdict of the official lord came down: one, or serve three years in prison. Second, or pay a fine of 800 taels of silver.

Tang Chujiu was so anxious, if he was imprisoned for three years, his whole life would be ruined, not to mention whether he could survive in prison, but to say that the woman who had been in prison would have no way to survive when she came out, and the spittle of the world would drown. If you don't go to jail, you have to be fined 800 taels of silver, but you only earned a total of 2 taels of silver for selling ice prizes! After thinking about it, he can only ask Gu Qingchen for help, but he is still his concubine now, isn't it? Hopefully, he won't die without help.
