Chapter Seventy-Nine
"When you're free, bring it to me and take a look." Gu Songyuan was obviously very interested.
It's not that he hasn't seen a small jewelry box, and the one in the owner's wife's hand was brought by him when he followed him to the capital Ningcheng, and it cost a full three hundred and eighty taels of silver at that time.
Although the material of the jewelry box is made of precious rosewood, it can be regarded as a high price. According to his speculation, in the entire Zhuo County, there are only a handful of people who are willing to spend so much money to buy a jewelry box for the female relatives of the family. Even the proprietors who are making money every day, and the concubines in a few rooms are so favored that they are not willing to buy them!
At that time, the reason why he dared to buy it was because the owner heard that people were showing off, and he had to buy it back to fight for himself. The proprietor gave it to his wife as a 30th birthday gift, and it was a great conversation at that time!
Afterwards, the proprietor had someone who was skilled in carpentry carefully inspect it, but still no satisfactory counterfeit was made. It's not that the craftsmen are poorly crafted, it's that there's a tiny mechanism in it, and they can't figure out how to design it. I went to Ningcheng to find a carpenter, and I bought it from the owner, and I would never betray the owner, so I dismantled it, and I was afraid that it would not be restored to its original state, so in the end I had to give it up.
Now that Sun Chen actually sent this news to the door, how could he not be excited? You have to know that you were assigned by the owner at the beginning, and you need an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, but you are really sleepy and give a pillow, and you came at the right time!
After absentmindedly following Sun Chen to lunch, Gu Songyuan hurriedly sent a car and dragged Sun Chen home to get a sample of the jewelry box.
……
"Can't you open this place for me to see?" Gu Songyuan looked at the jewelry box in front of him, his eyes were eager, it was such a mechanism, similar to the owner's wife.
"The key is to get it open, I don't know how to install it again~" Sun Chen looked embarrassed. Joke, this mechanism can be said to be the core technology of the entire jewelry box, and if you open it to check it, isn't it just to push the wealth that is about to arrive? Who can be so stupid?!
"Where is your third uncle? Take me to him! Gu Songyuan eagerly grabbed Sun Chen's hand, and the strength in his hand was out of control.
"Uh," Sun Chen was in pain, "Shopkeeper Gu, let go of my hand first!" ”
"I'm sorry, Ah Chen," Gu Songyuan finally realized that he seemed to be a little too eager. He quickly let go of the hand holding Sun Chen, "Forget it today, you take me to his house early tomorrow morning to have a look, if it is sure that he made it, I will report it truthfully to the owner, and I will definitely give him a satisfactory price!" ”
This Sun Chen believes, let's just say that he has no technical glove, the price given by Wanyou Commercial Bank is extremely high, and the third uncle's craftsmanship is a real skill, and the price is absolutely high.
"Okay, of course I believe in the character of the shopkeeper Gu." Sun Chen agreed with a smile, "But my third uncle is really a little timid, and he will ...... when the time comes."
"Hehe, since Ah Chen said to believe me, I will be worthy of your trust. Your third uncle, I won't be embarrassed, not to mention that this time I took the initiative to ask him for help, it's too late to hold him~" Gu Songyuan smiled bitterly, he didn't let people believe it like this, so like a profiteer? I'm obviously the most honest and trustworthy businessman, right?!
This Sun Chen was afraid that he would fool them, really, really looked down on himself!
I don't know why, when a person who is nearly thirty years old faces Sun Chen, he can't afford to look at him smallly, at least he puts him at the same level as himself.
……
Declined Gu Songyuan's invitation to stay in the town, Sun Chen went home that night. However, before dawn, the people sent by Gu Songyuan photographed their own door.
After washing with his eyes closed, Sun Chen brought the medicine bag that he had specially prepared for his grandmother in the Huichun Hall in the town yesterday, and then he yawned and got into the carport, and came to Blue Mountain Town all the way.
The door was hidden and not locked, Sun Chen directly pushed open the door and walked in. Gu Songyuan was struggling and hadn't gotten out of the car yet.
"Ah Chen, why are you here now, is something wrong?" The second uncle, Li Hanlin, was chopping wood in the yard when he heard the movement at the door and turned his head to see Sun Chen.
"Well, it's something." Sun Chen replied in a calm tone, "Grandma is okay these days, right?" I grabbed some medicine from the Rejuvenation Hall, and it was all to relax my muscles and invigorate my nerves. Let her eat it and try it, and if it works, I'll bring some more. ”
"Ah Chen really has a heart." The second concubine, Han Hongyu, came out of the house with a smile, "It's so cold outside, come in and warm up, your grandmother just woke up from a nap." ”
"Wait, I've got a friend with me." Sun Chen turned his head and just saw Gu Songyuan walking into the courtyard with two bags of gifts in his hand. It turned out that he had prepared a gift in advance, so no wonder he kept asking himself about his grandmother's house yesterday! Regardless of whether the matter can be done in the end or not, his heart alone has already made Sun Chen grateful.
"This is ......" Second uncle Li Hanlin put down the axe at this time and walked over with a cloth towel to wipe his sweat. The person in front of him was wearing a silk robe, his hair was meticulously combed, and at first glance, he was either rich or expensive, and he was not of the same class as his own family at all, how did Ah Chen know him?
"Oh, I forgot to introduce, second uncle, this is the shopkeeper of Wanyou Commercial Bank in our town, he came here today to discuss a deal with the third uncle. Shopkeeper Gu, this is my second uncle Li Hanlin. ”
Sun Chen introduced the two to each other.
"Hello, second uncle of the Sun family, I came here today, mainly to see the jewelry box made by your family, to see if the two parties can cooperate. The first time I visited, I prepared a little courtesy, and please smile. Gu Songyuan said and handed over the things in his hand.
"Don't, don't, this business hasn't been discussed yet, how can you get something, take it back!" Li Hanlin hurriedly excused himself, because he had chopped a lot of firewood just now, his ruddy face became even hotter. Realizing that there was ambiguity in his words, he hurriedly added, "Even if the negotiation is completed, you can't ask for anything." ”
"Why can't you ask for it, I gave these things to the old lady at home, you must not refuse." How could Gu Songyuan continue, "It's just some snacks, not worth a few dollars." ”
"That's embarrassing!" Li Hanlin scratched his head, "Look at me, patronizing and talking, it's too cold outside, you guys come into the house to warm up, I'll go to the backyard and call the third brother over." ”
"Hey!" Gu Songyuan was not pretentious, he didn't look disgusted at all, he followed Sun Chen into the hall where Wang Li was, and greeted Wang Li with a smile: "Old lady Li, hello, I took the liberty to come to the door and disturb me." ”
Gu Songyuan came to find Li Hansen, she had heard it in the house just now, and now she only smiled and nodded to him, "Don't bother, don't bother, thank you so much." Besides, I'm glad to have someone see my son's goodness. ”
"The son of your old teacher must be a good one, and the one just now looked very filial." Gu Songyuan chatted with Li Wang in a soft voice.
