Chapter 317: Testing the Waters

Early in the morning, before Chai Shuiqing got up, he heard the sound of crackling raindrops hitting the tiles outside.

This morning, it actually rained.

Chai Shuiqing pushed open the door and saw that the rain was not small, and there were waves of moisture and stuffiness, so he decided not to go out for the time being.

After a few people had breakfast, they were originally scheduled to go to Ma's tutor this morning to make fan noodles, but they also stepped back instead.

Patriarch Li proposed to see the carvings in the county town, and Ma Hongye readily agreed, and the two went out together.

There were only the three of them left in the house, and the things they wanted to bring back had already been put away, so there was nothing to do at this time.

Chai Shuiqing took out the things he had prepared last night, and then asked for a basket from the Xunma family, and he was about to go out with his things.

"Dani, where are you going?"

Li Xiufeng looked at Chai Shuiqing, who was ready to go, her eyes were shining and she was excited.

In Li Xiufeng's view, the life of the simple Li Shun family is just average.

Chai Shuiqing thought that Uncle Li's family still had Li Xiuzhuo studying, so he didn't explain much, whether this makes money or not, it's not like that.

Even if some people are rich, they are accustomed to living a simple life, just seeking to be fed and clothed, not to show off luxury.

Everyone thinks differently, and the life is naturally different.

Patriarch Li naturally heard his granddaughter's words, and shook his head with a smile.

The life of the San'er family is naturally better than that of the old family, but the wealth is not exposed.

Let's just say that the works he has made over the past few decades are enough to make money, but they are not on the surface.

But for the old family, he also has an arrangement in his heart.

It's a pity that the boss is used to being a long, and he is also used to planting fields, that is, the carpenter's craft, and he has only learned a few percent, and he can do some simple furniture carpentry or something, but he has not learned his fifty percent of the craft.

Everyone has their own aspirations, and Patriarch Li will never force the juniors to be, depending on their personal creation.

On the side, Zhao also thought of the days of his brother-in-law's family, and also felt that whether this carpenter made money or not was a matter of people, and he did not have any jealousy and envy in his heart.

If you want to say envy, you should envy the kid in the uncle's family who is studying, look at the serious energy, and designate it to have a chance in the future.

Ma Hongye was very familiar with the price of wood products, and when he heard Chai Shuiqing so clearly, he looked at her with some surprise.

"Girl, you might sell me this folding fan?"

In fact, he thought it was novel, and because he couldn't buy the fragrant wood in this girl's hand, he chose to buy a folding fan instead.

Chai Shuiqing looked at Ma Hongye unexpectedly, but he didn't expect him to offer to buy the folding fan.

After all, this old man is well-informed, although this folding fan is good, but it is not as attractive as other handmade products!

Seeing the confusion on her face, Ma Hongye explained: "It's the first time I've seen this kind of fan made of wood, and you make it very light, but you can let the craftsman look at it and sell it." ”

In addition to being a craftsman, he was also a merchant.

Chai Shuiqing didn't care about this, and nodded: "It's good if Grandpa Ma likes it!" ”

I thought it was a transaction of handing over money and delivering goods with one hand, but I heard Ma Hongye say again: "The production of your fan body still needs you to teach the people under me personally, and I bid to buy the craftsmanship of your fan." ”

Now, it's not as simple as buying a fan alone.

Chai Shuiqing looked at Patriarch Li and saw that he didn't stop him, so he nodded.

Originally, this fan was nothing, and it could be made after taking it apart and thinking carefully, but the carving was a little troublesome, and the details such as the processing of the fan surface were the key.

In the end, Ma Hongye bought the method of making fans at a price of 1,000 taels of silver.

Chai Shuiqing is also real, from the selection of materials to production to carving, etc., all are carefully said, and there is no abnormality.

This made Ma Hongye very satisfied, and at the same time he was satisfied, and at the same time, he sighed with a sense of regret.

In addition to the folding fan being bought, Ma Hongye also bought small items such as ear picks and clips, and gave them a good price.

Although the price is not as high as that of a fan, the bid of one hundred taels is completely unexpected by Chai Shuiqing.

Everyone talked for a while, and the tea was refilled with a few pots, and finally it was time for dinner.

Because it was just multigrain rice and a few side dishes, and Chai Shuiqing and Li Xiufeng were on the side, Zhao quickly prepared dinner.

There is no doubt that this 'coarse tea and light rice' made Ma Hongye very emotional and very satisfied.

In the end, it is a person who is used to eating fine grains, and it feels strange to suddenly change his taste.

That night, Chai Shuiqing was busy until midnight.

From Ma Hongye's purchase of a fan, Chai Shuiqing felt more and more the importance and immeasurable value of carpenter's craftsmanship.

So Chai Shuiqing plans to try her luck on the street tomorrow, and she is going to do a few more things.

There were too many things that were exchanged for the ten boxes of incense pills before, which was too unexpected, and Chai Shuiqing was afraid of attracting attention, so he decided to do something else.

In addition to the incense pills, she also prepared beads and other things, just waiting for tomorrow to try the water.

On the other side, the Feng family Zhuangzi was in a mess at this time.

Because, Shen Bowen is gone......

"Didn't you follow the young master? What do you eat? Tell me, what about people? ”

"What do you want? If the young master has three long and two short, don't think about it one by one. ”

......

Dahua, the little guy who had been following Shen Bowen, looked angrily at the group of people kneeling in front of him at this time.

The young master asked him to inquire about the matter, but he only walked for a while, and when he came back, he was told that the young master was missing.

A big living person can't disappear from under his nose.

And he interrogated them one by one, and even searched all over the Feng family Zhuangzi, but he didn't hear any clues about the young master.

At this time, Dahua was not only anxious but also afraid.

If Childe is really gone, he can't go back without finding someone, let alone Childe's identity......

Thinking of this, Dahua secretly swallowed his saliva, and cold sweat broke out all over his body.

Regardless of speculation, Dahua beckoned the Feng family Zhuangzi up and down to go out to find someone.

If he doesn't find it in a few hours, if he can't, he will take the Shen family's belongings to find the county lord for help.

At this end, the Feng family Zhuangzi turned on his back.

Over there, Shen Bowen, who was worried, was also confused.

He walked in the dim forest, his mind was a little foggy, and he couldn't find the direction when he looked at the identical mountains and forests all around.

No, he's just walked here.

Shen Bowen regretted a little at this time, he just wanted to go out for a walk, it was really boring to stay in Zhuangzi.

He regretted it very much at this time, regretting that he should not have brought out only one of his subordinates, and that subordinate was left at the foot of the mountain to watch the horses because of his unpleasant temperament.

'I don't know if Dahua found out that he was missing at this time......

Looking up at the sky covered by trees, there was a chill in the darkness.

If it was any later, he would have to spend the night in this mountain forest.

Thinking of this, Shen Bowen grabbed the hair on his head decadently, he was tired and hungry, so he could only continue to look for a way out in embarrassment.

At this moment, how did Shen Bowen know that because he didn't know the terrain and direction, he had deviated from the general direction. At this time, it has long been out of place.

Seeing this, Chai Shuiqing didn't understand, so he smiled unconsciously: "I have something to do." ”

The implication is that he didn't plan to take her with him.

Zhao called Li Xiufeng to help with things, Li Xiufeng stuck out her tongue, and had no choice but to wave her hand at Chai Shuiqing, with a reluctant face.
