Chapter 136: Successive defeats
"How's it going, Daddy?" Wen Shu looked at him steadily, waiting for the evaluation.
Wentai spit out the chicken bones and nodded with a smile: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a month, and my craftsmanship has risen a lot." ”
Wen Shu was not satisfied with such a general evaluation, "Dad, do you want to tell me carefully what's good?" How is it better than the yellow braised chicken during the Chinese New Year? ”
"Well, it's more flavorful than that one, and the meat is more tender." After speaking, Wentai looked at the big pot of chicken and said: "We can't finish this big pot, or let's divide some of it, and I'll send some to your Uncle Sun's house. ”
"That's the time to send some." Hearing this, Wen Shu immediately got up and went to the kitchen, and after a while, he came out with a large porcelain bowl containing soup, "By the way, Dad, are Uncle Sun's relatives still there?" She asked, pretending.
"It's still there, but I heard that I've found a house, and I should move out in two days."
"Oh, that's going to have to get some more." Wen Shu pulled out half of the chicken in the basin, "Dad is busy for a day, let's eat it first, I'll send it to the Sun family." ”
"I'd better go." Father Wen got up and took the bowl in her hand, "His nephew is still there, and you are an unmarried little lady to send it, which makes people look at the gossip." With that, he took the bowl and turned around and walked out of the hall.
What's going on? Listening to her father's tone, she doesn't seem to like the nephew of Uncle Sun's family very much! But obviously for the first time, he praised others a few times,
She couldn't figure it out, Wentai, who was carrying chicken out of the yard, really didn't look good on his face.
Because when they met Brother Sun's house for the first time on the first day of the Lunar New Year, that Sun Xingniang was extremely enthusiastic about A-Ning, and when he saw it in his eyes, he also looked at Sun Xing carefully.
At first, I was also satisfied, and I thought that if after a period of inspection, my character was not bad, I would marry Ah Ning Xu to him.
Who would have expected that since the fourth day of the junior high school, after Brother Sun led his brother and sister-in-law to sit down, Sun Xingniang saw his family Aning again, and changed her look, as if the enthusiasm of that day was all because he was wrong.
He looked back and thought about it for a while, and he knew why Sun Xingniang came here because of the changes before and after, first, it was nothing more than tabooing the family's livelihood, and secondly, he probably knew that A-Ning was the only daughter in the family, and he was afraid that she would recruit her in the future, and Sun Xing was a scholar, and he would definitely take the imperial examination in the future, so naturally he couldn't be a son-in-law.
Speaking of which, he never thought of leaving A-Ning at home to recruit a son-in-law, because an ordinary family like them wants to recruit an excellent son-in-law, which is much more difficult than marrying an excellent son-in-law.
Those who really want to be excellent or have a wealthy family will definitely not look down on their family, and those who are willing to go to a family like them will either be too poor to eat, or they have no ability to make a living, so they will wait to live on their daughter-in-law after they become rich.
He doesn't want to choose either of these two, although A-Ning is a girl, but she is also a child who has been distressed by him for more than ten years, he hopes that she can find a husband who loves her and respects her.
Wen Shu didn't know what Daddy Wen was thinking in his heart, and at the moment she was holding her chin, waiting for her father to come back for dinner, and at the same time thinking about how to sell those jades.
After noon inquiry, she already knew the market of some jade materials, and now she is almost looking for a reliable jade store and selling things.
The jade in her basket ranges from the common white jade, green jade, to the more expensive topaz, red jade, and even the purple jade that is only available in the royal family.
However, she has no power now, and if she wants to sell the jade safely, it is best to pick up the common white jade or green jade.
As for the future, she plans to open a small tea house by the land shrine outside the city, selling some tea or simple cakes for passers-by to drink.
When you make money later, you will consider renting a room in a remote and quiet place in the city and opening a small food shop to sell things in the world of mountains and seas.
After a period of operation, her shop will definitely be known by more and more people, and then Dad Hou will not have to work so hard to make longevity materials.
Now, however, there is the question of how she can convince people that the stone she is holding contains jade. It is said that whether there is jade in the stone can only be known by cutting it with a stone, and it is not known whether there is a stone in the jade shop.
After thinking about it for a while, her father came back with an empty bowl, and Wen Shu hurriedly collected her thoughts and ate with her father.
After eating, Wen Tai continued to go to the shop to work, and after Wen Shu cleaned up, he chose a stone half the size of a basin from the storage basket and wrapped it in a bag and carried it on his back.
This stone contains white jade, which is scanned by Xiaoxing as a lower grade, and the jade content is about one-third of the whole stone. According to the jade price that I inquired about yesterday, if it can be sold smoothly, it should be able to earn back twenty or thirty times.
Walking out of the alley with a burden, Wen Shu went to the west of the city this time, not that there is no jade shop in the north of the city, I am really afraid that it will be difficult to explain if I bump into acquaintances, and besides, wealth is not exposed, and making a fortune in a muffled voice is the right way.
The west of the city and the north of the city are adjacent to each other, walk past about two quarters of an hour, pass through two main streets, and then pass two square markets.
This place is slightly more prosperous than the north of the city, and there are more antique shops on the street than in the north of the city.
The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his thirties who is behind the counter, bowing his head and planning to plate, two guys in the shop are giving a warm introduction to the guests, and the other is holding a wet green cloth towel to carefully wipe the jade dust.
Wen Shu didn't bend around, walked directly to the counter, and whispered to the shopkeeper who bowed his head to settle the accounts: "Say hello to the shopkeeper, I don't know if your shop can accept raw stone and jade materials." ”
The shopkeeper was calculating to the key point, and the head of the table who was slightly displeased when he heard the words looked at her a little, and said lightly: "The collection is received, but it also depends on the quality and color." ”
"How about the shopkeeper take a look at me?" Wen Shu was not stunned at all, unloaded the burden from his shoulder, and put it on the counter.
Seeing that after the furoshiki was opened, there was a complete uncut rough stone inside, and the shopkeeper laughed, "The little lady is not here to entertain me, such an uncut stone, how do you know if there is jade in it." ”
"I just know." Wen Shuding said: "And it is white jade, the size is one-third of the whole stone, if the shopkeeper does not believe it, although the stone is opened to inspect, everything is separated." ”
In fact, she wanted to drive it at home, but she had no tools, and ordinary swords could not cut through stones. So if the shopkeeper of this jade shop is willing to open it for her, it doesn't matter if she buys the rest or not, she can sell it to others anyway.
Shocked by her confident attitude and determined attitude, the shopkeeper shook his head for a moment, but still shook his head: "The master of Kaishi is busy every day, how can he have time to open such a thing I don't know if there is." ”
