Volume 1: Yellow Springs December Chapter 223: Painting Sand Printing Clay

There was a young man in his twenties at the door of the shop, clanging silverware.

He looked thin and honest. He knocked so hard that he didn't notice someone coming in front of him. It may also be that there have been customers in the store for too long, so he has no sense of distraction to welcome customers.

Shanhai thought about it, and was embarrassed to disturb him, so he directly opened the curtain and walked into the store. The others followed one after another, and the young man beat again for a while, as if he had reacted to something, and suddenly turned back and ran to the store. He apologized first, then told them that the shopkeeper was not there, and went to the warehouse to check on the new batch of raw materials.

Shi Wuqi looked at the jewelry on display and said casually: "Is the warehouse so far away?" ”

"A few aren't locals, are they? It was already across the street. The young man pointed to the door diagonally, "Half a month ago...... Something happened, when my master went to the warehouse to order......"

The young man changed a little, and his tone was a little tired. It seems that he still hasn't been able to get out of the shadows. Shan Hai hurriedly interrupted him.

"You don't have to say, we've heard about it. So that place is still sealed? ”

"I thought it was something that happened in the store." Dai Luan interjected.

"Hey, if the old man walks in the store, we won't be able to open the door now." The young man smiled wryly, "Now I have to rent a warehouse, it's a bit far." But I guess the shopkeeper and my brother will be back in a while. ”

"Business may not be good." Ruyuejun looked around, "I feel a little cold." ”

"Isn't it...... The people are panicking, and no one will come for a while. But if it doesn't open again, it really won't be able to sell a piece of jewelry. Our two brothers and sisters are not well-off at home, and it would be good if we didn't starve to death, and we couldn't give subsidies to our families at all, let alone reach out to them...... My father and mother always scolded me for being a beggar for food. ”

No one's life is easy. They sighed. Walk up to a row of red cloths, on which are all long-lived locks. There are gold, silver and jade, and most of them are silver ornaments, and all kinds of birds and animals are engraved on them. There is a set of zodiac signs that are the most beautiful, all of them have noses and eyes, which are very vivid.

"Look at this big!" Dai Luan pointed to one of them and said, "The tail is so wide, how majestic." Like a peacock? ”

"Indeed, majestic." Ruyue-kun glanced at it, "It's just ...... A chicken is a chicken, and there is no reason to wear red and green to increase the position of official. ”

Noticing that they were looking at the row of long-lived locks, the young man leaned over.

"Ah, a few of them were left by the master, and some of them were made by the new shopkeeper. If you look at it, it's not expensive. ”

"The new shopkeeper looks good to you." Dai Luan said.

"Yes...... If it weren't for his kindness, the two of us would have gone to the street to drink the northwest wind. ”

As he spoke, two more people came in at the door. One of them didn't look big, in his early twenties. He nodded to the guests, and beckoned the young man to go out to unload. The young man nodded to one of them, and then said to the shopkeeper that it was a guest who had just arrived, and he would entertain him in a respectful tone.

Shanhai was stunned, and Dai Luan was also stunned when she turned around, only Shi Wuqi was a little confused. The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly widened and stared at them seriously, a little trance, a little incredible.

To say that this new shopkeeper is also an old acquaintance.

"Yunge?" Dai Luan was surprised, "Why are you here?" ”

Yun Ge has indeed undergone some vicissitudes, his skin has tanned a lot, and there are some fine wrinkles on his face. He had a scruffy beard, but they could still recognize it at a glance. Shanhai was also very surprised, he didn't expect that Yun Ge from Jintong Township would actually appear in Cangyu City, and he also ordered a jewelry shop.

The two apprentices finally came back after moving their things. The young man at first moved his arms, and was surprised to find several people sitting at the small table in a friendly manner. Yun Ge also asked him to pick up a pot of tea.

"So you know each other?"

"Yes...... But I didn't expect it either. ”

Yun Ge's voice didn't change, it was still as steady. He said that he had traveled a lot of places and learned all kinds of craft skills, and finally felt a little tired and wanted to find a place to rest. It just so happened that something happened to a shop here, so he used all the money on his body to take down the shop and settle down here first.

Yun Ge naturally asked them about Mu Wan's whereabouts, and they said that she had gone elsewhere. Inevitably, he asked about the umbrella, whether it could be used or not, whether it could be broken. They looked at each other a few times, and for a moment they didn't know what to say. Only Shi Wuqi pinched the bridge of his nose, sorted out his words and asked:

"Since you've repaired this umbrella...... Hmm, can you still repair an umbrella that has been burned to ashes? ”

Dai Luan rolled her eyes, thinking that he had asked a nonsense. Yun Ge looked at him seriously, and his tone was serious.

"I can't fix anything that burns to ashes."

"Oh...... Just ask. ”

"But there's always someone who can. There are many legendary craftsmen who have this skill. When my father was alive, he worked with others to repair the belongings in the house that had been burned by the fire. I once had a colleague who used ashes to repair the broken parts of the ornaments, but I didn't have the ability. ”

Shi Wuqi nodded, didn't speak, but sighed in his heart. You must know that Ye Yinlu was burned by the strange black fire and there was not even a slag left, and he didn't have to "all the corpses" if he wanted to recover.

"By the way, what's wrong with your longevity lock?" Yun Ge suddenly looked at Dai Luan, "It's been so long in the past, I should have to polish it." ”

Dai Luan's face was embarrassed, and she didn't know where to explain it. So Ruyuejun said simply: "There was an accident, it fell." ”

"Oh......"

He nodded thoughtfully and asked the other apprentice to come over and get something. He asked them to go out for a walk, and he sent another one to Dai Luan. They all felt that it was unnecessary, because they knew that the situation of this store was not very good, and they didn't want him to break the bank. He just waved his hand and said not to tighten. The apprentice looked at them, a little reluctantly, but went anyway. This is not incomprehensible, after all, he has not eaten enough, how can the new shopkeeper send the money out.

"I don't think it will be too long. Simple little pieces only take an hour. The Divine Bird Xuanluan is more complicated, but it doesn't take two hours. You can walk around and come back and you'll be done. ”

"The shopkeeper's work doesn't like people to follow." The guy added.

It seems that he has not changed his old habits for many years. The master and apprentice couldn't shirk it, so they were embarrassed to come down and thanked them again and again. It's just that Shi Wuqi asked rather angrily:

"Can you be so fast in this craft?"

"It's a bit lazy. What I want to use is the unique silver soil of a small village, which is very plastic. After carving the clay embryo first, it will shrink after heating, and it will look very delicate. ”

"Dirt?" Shanhai was taken aback, "The village you are talking about is not near Tanghuan County, right?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Right? Did you know? ”

"Yes. Last year, a few of us went to Tanghuan County, and we passed by there when we left. It was ...... There, there was a small shrine where I met Utsuki-kun. Then something happened, and Mu Wan was separated from us. ”

When he said this, Shanhai looked at Shi Wuqi, as if he was explaining to him. Yun Ge paused and said:

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Oh, she. I've seen it too. ”

"Have you seen Utsuki-kun?" Shi Wuqi was a little surprised, "Qinghe Remnant Flower Mao Yuejun? ”

Ruyuejun smiled: "Otherwise, which one else can there be." ”

"I didn't expect you to see my old friend there. But it's said that she is an old man, and I don't have much intersection with her...... It's just that she stayed in Xuanzhen Town for a long time. ”

Ruyuejun looked at Shi Wuqi like this, and her eyes were meaningful. He noticed it, but couldn't think of why, and didn't ask. After that, it didn't seem like much to say, so Yun Ge let them go out for a walk and recommended a few good snacks. They all walked to the door, but Dai Luan still felt unsure. With a sad look, she turned back and asked:

"It's just that we don't have much money, so how much is thisβ€”how much is this worth?"

"I said I don't want money." He waved his hand, as if to drive them away, "If you really don't want to go, you owe me a favor." In the future, I will always ask you to help me. ”

They thanked them and left the jewelry shop first, but Ruyuejun stayed. With Huang Quanling's identity, it is not a problem to investigate the warehouse that caused the accident on the opposite street. On the way, Dai Luan told Shi Wuqi a lot of things that happened before, all of which were the details of what happened after he left. Some she said, but she forgot, some she didn't. I don't mind listening to it again.

The sky began to darken, and various stalls were set up on the roadside. Two blocks away, it was said that there was a salt shortbread, which was not bad, and they were looking for it. There was a long line of roadside stoves, and they all said to themselves, it can't be, it's just cakes. As a result, I went around and looked around but didn't find it, and when I asked on the side of the road, it was really. Passers-by said that the little couple who scones usually close the stall before dark, and they are afraid that they will not be able to buy it again.

"I knew I was going to ask the people in line directly." Dai Luan was very sorry. The reason is still not that she wants to eat bread too much, but that her expectations have been disappointed again.

Thinking that the time is almost up, why don't you go back to the jewelry store first? It's really not good, you can buy something else on the way, and bring something to eat for those people. As a result, as soon as they turned around, they heard someone shouting to them from a distance, it was Mu Wan.

Shanhai turned around and saw Mu Wan pinching a paper clip, pinching a piece of cake in it, and holding an apple candy in the other hand. There was someone next to her, whom they hadn't met.

Dai Luan stepped forward and took a bite off her bread, as if no one was around.

So they all went up and broke a piece of it, just to know how delicious the cake was that so many people were so eager to eat. The sesame seeds on it don't seem to have a lot of money, and the texture will crumble as soon as you pinch it. By the time their hands were removed from her, all that was left was the point she had pinched on her fingers.

"Hey!"

"It doesn't seem to be very tasty."

"I think it's pretty good."

"I think it's a little salty."

"Is it okay? I didn't spill the salt. ”

"Hey!!"

Cheng You felt funny next to him. He couldn't help but laugh out loud, finally getting their attention. Mu Wan thought about it for a long time, but still confessed honestly, saying that he was the Chengyou Cheng son that Qing Lize met. Don't say it, as soon as you say it, the anger of several people immediately burst out, and the three big words of unwelcome are almost engraved on the face.

"You're shopping with your enemy?" The mountains and seas are incredible.

"No...... It's not an enemy, is it? Mu Wan always felt that the more he described, the darker it became, "The relationship between him and the surname Wu is not as good as we thought." In my opinion, he is a bit of a deliberate mischief. ”

"Where?" Cheng You defended, "Didn't I invite you back if I offended you." ”

As he spoke, he raised his left hand, and there was a small shoulder basket with some fruit and snacks in it.

"Yes." Dai Luan nodded with satisfaction, "I forgive you on behalf of Mu Wan." ”

"I didn't allow you to represent me."
