Chapter Fifty-Nine: Desert Lanxin
Before leaving, Mu Qiang said to Gu Huai:
"If you see me there, please don't hurt him, just let him go home. ”
When Gu Huai saw the old man surnamed Mu and said that he wanted his son to go home, his voice suddenly became older, his face was a lot haggard, and his heart was full of sighs.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world. What's more, the father in front of him still has to manage a huge shop.
It took twenty taels of silver to get a six-sided hundred-hole box from Muqiangdi.
The shape of the box was almost exactly the same as Gu Huai had imagined, with wooden planks on six sides, and there were many air holes on each plank.
Not only that, Mu Qiang also made some improvements in the details.
He said that if you want the airflow to escape from the inside of the box to the outside of the box more smoothly, you need to arrange the position of each face hole to be more evenly distributed and dispersed. Therefore, the six-sided 100-hole box is actually 6-sided 54 holes. There are nine on each side, and they are beautifully arranged and generous.
Besides, the material used, Gu Huai could see that it was high-grade wood, and it should not mean that it was as much as dozens of taels of silver. Therefore, the wooden shopkeeper did this business, not only for nothing, but also for silver.
The world will never fall into the cake. This deal is given, but Gu Huai can't take it for nothing, and when the time comes, he will always have to give his old father some explanations in the matter of Mu Yuan.
At this time, Gu Huai's mood was a little heavy.
Let's talk about this wood edge first, it is elusive, whether it is friend or foe is still not sure, even if it is found, how to persuade it? Or, persuasion will not help.
In addition to Mu Yuan, there is also that drunk. Liu Zhutou gave Gu Huai the task, and Gu Huai did not forget it for a moment.
But finding a drunk is really tangled. First, he wanted to ask someone to make the object, and second, the person who asked for it attracted the attention of the city government building.
Gu Huai really felt embarrassed. If you really find that person, ask someone to help you do things, and send people into the yamen, won't you fall into a place of injustice and injustice?
However, two things seem to have to be done.
If you don't complete the work of the crisper, not only will you lose faith in Youqiu, but you are also likely to be persecuted by Sha Er.
But if he didn't inform Liu Changgui of the whereabouts of the drunk, the city mansion would not make him feel better.
How is it good?
"What are you thinking, young man?" asked Yu Ji as she interrupted Gu Huai's thoughts and looked at him with round eyes.
"Nothing. Gu Huai shook his head and sighed lightly.
"Since it's nothing, let's go relax!" Yuki said happily.
It is a little puzzling that he came out of Mu Yuan's father and was still so happy.
"It's not early, why don't you go back first?" Tai Lai will always be a bitter face in front of Yu Ji.
"Taibo, it's better to ......" You Ji looked at Tailai, showing a ghostly expression, and said, "Why don't you go back first, and I'll go shopping with Gu Huai first." ”
"This ......" Taylor hesitated to say something, but took it back. He knew very well that at his age, it was really disappointing to play with a few young people.
"Where do you want to play?" Gu Huai thought that he couldn't do anything when he went out now, so he might as well follow and relax, and he was also a car owner.
You Ji thought about it, but didn't answer Gu Huai's question, just looked at the wind and said:
"It's better to do it, Brother Feng, you ...... You'll go back first?"
"Miss You!" Tai Lai was in a hurry, "It's a big night, it's not okay to have no guards outside!"
"Ouch," said Yuki, stamping her foot, "didn't you come and go on your own before, and didn't you see this wind coming with you?"
"You're a girl!" said Taylor with a sigh.
"What's wrong with the girl!" Yu Ji was a little annoyed, looking like a woman half the sky.
"It's okay," he didn't speak, but he looked up into the distance and said lightly, "Let's go back first." ”
Although Tai Lai was still a little reluctant, he was always relieved to speak late.
Perhaps, Feng Desire has other plans to protect the safety of the eldest lady.
"Let's go to the city center!" Yuki thought she could take a good look around, a little excited.
The last time she went to the stone carving competition, she ran into the evil Wei Changqing one after another, as well as the weird wooden edge, which ruined a journey that should have been pleasant.
At this time, she is afraid that she will have to release it well.
"Little snail go!" Gu Huai roared and moved the little carriage.
Xiao Tianluo stepped on the sand, and the footsteps of "da-da-da-da——,dada" changed from slow to fast, and drove out of the area of Shenmufang and drove towards the center of Shakun City.
At night, the city has a special flavor, and the streets are lined with various lanterns, and the candlelight inside seems to be unextinguished all year round.
The signboard outside the store is also lit up by the nightfall, not a hundred flowers, but also competing for beauty, as if it is also dutifully soliciting customers for high and low revenue targets.
In fact, there is still some distance from Shenmufang to the center of the city. When you reach your destination, the night is deeper, but the streets of the city are like this, they continue to be bustling, volatile with noise and joy.
The small snail drove into the crowd, slowing down naturally, and walking through the bright lights.
Gu Huai, who was in a bad mood, was in the light at this time, but he was also happy.
Whatever, now there are cars, beautiful girls, and the hustle and bustle of the night market, so let's put some bullshit things aside!
"Gu Huai, look, shave your head! haha...... Look at the man's hair, it's so peculiar! Look at it, look at it, look at it, it's here! Pedicure is it, look at that man's big feet, will it stink, hahaha...... Heck, there's a ceramic shop, hey...... It's not as good as mine!" Along the way, Yuki's eyes widened, looking out the window at the colorful world
Gu Huai sighed in his heart, obviously this You Ji was from a big family, but in the face of these fancy worlds, she behaved like a little girl who had just come up from the countryside, and she was so curious about everything.
Gu Huai didn't interrupt her, just waited silently on the side, not only out of politeness, but more likely out of her brother's love for her sister.
Looking at the people who were busy in and out of the store, there were shopkeepers, buddies, and the guards and coolies of the five elements, Gu Huai also felt a little emotional.
The first time he carefully observed the market was the first day he was sold to the city.
Survival and busyness will immerse him in the current society, but it will not make him forget his mission - to find his father.
Where is my father, and what is the secret method of the Shang Sage in my father's letter?
The car jolted gently, and Gu Huai was a little sleepy, and gradually narrowed his eyes.
"Flower shop, Gu Huai, flower shop!" You Ji suddenly shouted a few times, and almost at the same time, Xiao Tianluo stopped.
Gu Huai was awakened, thinking that it was a big deal, and when he heard the word flower shop, he was not interested.
Where are there no flower shops? The Imperial City is full of them.
Moreover, a big man will not like those flowers and plants.
In desperation, he had to follow Yuki out of the car and into the flower shop.
The flower shop was large and exquisite, and every major type of flower in it was planted in a small separate nursery. Each nursery is surrounded by a circle of delicate wooden frames. And the carved patterns of the water line can still be seen on the wooden frame, which is obviously treated by magic.
In addition to the flowers that are common in the human world, the others are so colorful and strange that Gu Huai almost can't name them.
He saw a knot of flowers with a white scroll on it, with the names of people written on it, indicating the buyer of the flower. Below the person's name are some dates, which should be the time of pickup. Time goes down again, and it is the symbol of the gold seal.
Golden Seal!?
"Boss, you've been open for a long time. As a businessman, Gu Huai instinctively asked the shopkeeper of the flower shop after seeing the gold seal.
"It's okay, it's the eighth year. The flower shop owner said with a smile.
Gu Huai's eyes widened and he was a little surprised.
At present, the fastest development he has seen is the Wang's shopkeeper's Liushifang, but it has also taken more than ten years. Needless to say, after more than 20 years, he is still struggling for the silver seal.
Unexpectedly, this flower shop got the golden seal in eight years, and its rapid development is really amazing.
However, Gu Huai also remembered what his father said, some non-practical things, the profit margin is much higher. For example, gold and silver jewelry, jewelry pendants and so on, are not the kind of things that must be used in daily life, but they can indeed make a lot of money.
Flowers are also in this category. In particular, some precious flowers, coupled with the reputation of the store, are the key to driving the store's revenue. So, it doesn't take them long to make some money. Especially for a flower shop of this scale in front of you, it is not surprising that you can get the gold seal in a relatively short period of time.
"Desert Lanxin!" Yuki quickly ran to a flowerbed and crouched down. The flowers in the flower bed look like morning glories of the human world, but are larger. The corolla is golden yellow, and the stamens are purplish-red. Occasionally, there are some pale spots scattered on the petals, like small freckles on the girl's face, which is very cute.
"This is the flower seed that expresses love in Shakun City," Yu Ji began to mutter, a trace of sadness flashing in her eyes, "I am grateful that someone gave it to me before. But I think someone will send me later...... Hey, forget it, don't send it......"
"Gu Huai, do you say this flower is beautiful?" You Ji suddenly turned around and asked Gu Huai.
"Gu Huai, where are you?" You Ji turned around but didn't see Gu Huai, "Hey, Miss Ben called you, can you hear it, hurry up and show up, otherwise I'm welcome!"
The other guests looked at it curiously, and they didn't know why.
"Stinky boy, are you playing hide and seek with me!?" Yuki shouted after putting down the flowers in her hand and walking quickly to the outside of the store, looking around.
The eldest lady walked a few more steps, still did not hear any response, and muttered:
"What kind of tricks is this guy playing with Ben?"
