Chapter 32: The Feeling of a Local Tyrant
After Mrs. Xiahou lowered her head and thought about it, her eyes lit up randomly and said, "Mother, we can be the same as Qin'er, anyway, Bin'er is still young, why don't you let Hou Ye accept Mingyuan as a righteous son?" ”
After listening to her daughter-in-law's words, the old lady thought about it for a while, and felt that it was a good idea, and then said, "This is okay, but this matter can't be rushed, this time is the time for him to study hard, so don't disturb him for the time being!" Madam Xiahou nodded and said yes.
Back in his small courtyard, Li Mingyuan took a closer look at the flower garden and found that there were all kinds of flowers, thinking that Xiahouqin was very attentive to this. Seeing this flower, Li Mingyuan remembered Xiahouqin's entrustment to him, and couldn't help frowning.
It's easy to take care of flowers, although I haven't been in contact with them in my previous life, but a lot of basic common sense is still understood, although many flowers will wither because of temperature conditions, but I have skills, it's a big deal to come to a greenhouse or something, all of this is not a problem, but my own efforts Sister Fairy can't see it, no, I must find a way to let Sister Fairy know how much she cares about her flowers.
Li Mingyuan, who had made up his mind, smiled confidently, picked up his wallet and went out.
Li Mingyuan wandered around the street for a while, and finally found a shop that made porcelain, and after weighing his heavy wallet, Li Mingyuan walked in confidently with his head held high.
"Boss, are you here? Came out to pick up customers! Li Mingyuan entered the shop and found that there was no one inside, so he couldn't help but be anxious.
"It's coming, it's coming!" Soon, a plainly dressed girl ran out of nowhere, with curved eyebrows, willow-like eyes, a delicate nose bridge, and a ruddy mouth, she was definitely a beautiful girl who was one in a thousand.
I don't know if it's a change in mentality or an evil nature, but now Li Mingyuan always has an urge to flirt when he sees beautiful women.
"Girl, why did you come so late to pick up the guests?" Li Mingyuan said in a strange tone.
The little girl may have been too pure, and she didn't understand Li Mingyuan's voiceover, but said apologetically, "I'm sorry, guest officer, my father is burning porcelain in the back, and I also went to help, so it's late!" ”
As soon as he heard that his father was at home, Li Mingyuan instantly lost interest, and said randomly, "Then the troublesome girl went to call your father, and said that there was a big business coming to the door!" ”
Hearing this, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but look at Li Mingyuan, and found that the other party seemed to be a military master, and he was still very good-looking, with a bad smile, the two looked at each other, and the little girl instantly blushed, and she didn't care about beckoning the guests to sit down, so she stumbled and ran to the backyard.
"Tsk, this year's girl is pure!" Li Mingyuan looked at the girl's back and couldn't help but admire.
Taking advantage of the girl's efforts to call her father, Li Mingyuan took a look at this small shop and found that the aesthetics of people in these years are really poor, many porcelain are all clay pots and the like, not only the style is monotonous, but also the colors are just a few, which makes Li Mingyuan can't help but shake his head again and again. In fact, what he didn't know was that in this Guan County, it was okay to have such a craft, and when he arrived in Jiangnan and the capital in the future, he found that it was not that there were no high-quality products, but that the real skilled craftsmen were dedicated to serving the rich.
"This military master, I don't know what you command?" Soon, the shopkeeper of the porcelain shop rushed over and saw Li Mingyuan wearing leather armor, and the shopkeeper also guessed that the other party had some background, so although Li Mingyuan shook his head again and again, he was still respectful.
"Hello shopkeeper, what do you call it?" After all, Li Mingyuan is a scholar, and he still knows how to be polite.
Seeing that Li Mingyuan was so polite, the shopkeeper was even more puzzled, but he didn't dare to slack off, "Master Huijun, the little one's surname is Gao, and he is virtuous!" ”
"Yes, good name!" Li Mingyuan nodded, and said randomly, "Shopkeeper Gao, I came to you this time to discuss a big business with you!" ”
Seeing Li Mingyuan's expression, the shopkeeper Gao also looked serious, "Please also ask the military master for advice!" ”
Li Mingyuan patted the shoulder of the shopkeeper Gao and let him relax, and then said, "Shopkeeper Gao, can you make that kind of small porcelain here that is particularly small, but more beautiful?" ”
"I don't know how young this military master is?" Gao Youde's eyes lit up.
"It's about half the size of a palm, the appearance is modeled after the style of a small gourd, and the plug mouth is best to use a little camphor wood or the like, and the color should be bright!" Li Mingyuan said passionately.
After listening to Li Mingyuan's introduction, Gao Youde pondered for a while, and then said confidently, "Please rest assured, Master Jun, I will leave it to me, and I promise to do it properly for you!" ”
Li Mingyuan nodded with satisfaction, took out the money bag from his pocket and asked, "Then I'll ask for ten first, how much do you think it is?" ”
Seeing Li Mingyuan's bulging money bag, Gao Youde couldn't help but blush a little, but when he thought of the other party's identity, he immediately calmed down, "Ten of you count it as one or two silver!" ”
"Huh?" Li Mingyuan glared instantly.
"Master Jun, I didn't ask you how much you wanted, the cost price!" Gao Youde hurriedly defended, looking very aggrieved.
Although the price of these things is not very clear, Li Mingyuan believes that Gao Youde will not, and he does not dare to ask for more from himself. But Li Mingyuan is not a person who loves to be cheap, especially the proletariat like him.
"I didn't say you want more, so let's do it, I'll give you two taels, you have to do it well for me, you must be perfect!" Li Mingyuan generously took out two taels of silver and handed it to Gao Youde, and at this moment he finally had a feeling of being a local tyrant.
Gao Youde took the silver from Li Mingyuan's hand in disbelief, and tears were about to flow down his eyes with excitement, "Master Jun, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job for you!" ”
Li Mingyuan nodded expressionlessly, in fact, the moment Gao Youde took the silver, he already regretted it, and when he saw Gao Youde put the silver away, he felt that his heart was dripping blood. Loser, he only earns much a month, but when he thought that it was for Sister Fairy, he instantly wanted to open it again.
"Shopkeeper Gao, how long will it take for you to do it?"
Gao Youde, who received the money, said very positively, "I'll start now, I guess it will be colored tomorrow, and it will be fine after a few hours of air drying!" ”
"Okay, then I'll come and pick it up the day after tomorrow!" Li Mingyuan calculated that the time was just right, so he turned around and left, and the little girl who had been hiding behind the door and peeking saw Li Mingyuan go out, quite reluctant, but when she remembered that he would come the day after tomorrow, she couldn't help but smile sweetly.
Walking on the way back to the Hou Mansion, Li Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh at his failure, the pig's feet in people's novels are not all small tricks, the silver is made in a hurry, and the beauties are thrown into their arms in groups, how can it become so miserable when it comes to himself.
