As soon as the morning dawned, Soybean was awakened by the knock on the door of his uncle.

Rub your eyes, look around, oh, not at home. But even at home, it's rare to sleep lazy, and the conditions don't allow it!

When, be able to eat what you want, sleep as long as you want, and sleep as long as you want!

Freshly combed and without mirrors, Soybean braided himself with the wooden comb he brought, and the hair on the back naturally hung down. She didn't want to comb that kind of hair, pill head.

What she wanted most was that combing a ponytail was easy and convenient, but she had never seen anyone comb such braids!

Out of the door, Huang Dou subconsciously glanced at the next door, the door was closed tightly, as if it was an illusion when he saw the window open last night.

Huang Laohan and Huang Ronggui had already gone down to wait in the hall of the inn to eat, Huang Guigui stood at the staircase of the inn and waited for Soybean, saw Soybean come out, raised his chin, and motioned for Sodou to come over.

Halfway down the hallway, the door to the next room opened. Huang Dou heard the sound and turned his head to see that two people came out of the door of the next room.

I actually saw the pair of beautiful master and servant on the ship, a woman and a maid in brocade clothes.

Huang Guigui saw two young women suddenly appear behind Huang Dou, and he didn't pay attention to who it was, and hurriedly walked downstairs in three steps and two steps.

Huang Dou knew that the uncle was avoiding suspicion, although it was an inn and there were many people coming and going, but sometimes it was necessary to pay attention to it, and it was not too much to be careful.

Huang Dou was just about to hurry downstairs, when the brocade-clothed beauty suddenly spoke, her voice was tactful and very pleasant: "What did you throw down last night?" ”

"Uh." Huang Dou blushed a little: "Two pieces of baked cakes." ”

"Oh, you're such a kind little girl." The beauty in brocade was obviously in a good mood, and looked at the soybeans with a smile: "It's good, it's a good one." ”

Huang Dou felt a little embarrassed, in front of such a beautiful beauty, she was like a fire girl at most.

"Thank you, Miss, for the compliment." Huang Dou nodded and smiled generously, she didn't salute, just nodded and smiled, it wasn't rude.

Soybeans were in front, and the master and servant were behind, and they went downstairs together.

There weren't many people in the hall, just three tables.

The steamed porridge I ate in the morning, Soybeans sat down next to my grandfather and looked up, the two beautiful young ladies went out, I guess I don't like the simplicity of the food here!

Rong Bao Xuan is on Main Street, a bit far from here. I had figured out the way last night, but fortunately, I was not in a hurry, after breakfast, Huang Laohan walked with his children and grandchildren, and walked slowly all the way to Rong Baoxuan.

Many shops on the side of the road have just begun to unload their boards and open their doors for business, and Huang Dou is eager to ask his grandfather if it will be a little early.

When I arrived at the main street, I realized that it was indeed a little early, the shop doors were open, but there were not many people on the street, and it seemed deserted. On the contrary, there are not as many people as the small streets and alleys, and the people who buy vegetables and eat breakfast are bustling.

Rong Baoxuan's door face is a bit big, with three horizontal rooms and four open doors, and twelve boards are installed. The interior decoration is magnificent, the steps at the door are a little high, and the angle of soybeans looks a little rich and pressing.

Huang Ronggui stood at the door, a little hesitant, such a big store, they are dressed a little shabby, can they receive them? It won't be punched out!

Huang Guigui was a little bit of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and when he saw Huang Laohan walking inside, he also followed in, and Huang Dou followed in, only Huang Ronggui followed in with a slight hesitation.

It's a bit early, and there are no customers in the store yet, so two guys in their early twenties are standing in the store on the left and right.

The two guys were slightly stunned when they saw Huang Laohan and his party, and the guy standing on the left immediately changed his smile and greeted him: "Hello old man, do you want to see it or do you need to buy something." ”

The guy on the right pouted disdainfully with his back on his back, and the soybean man walked slowly, and when he saw it, he didn't say a word.

It is normal for people to hate the poor and love the rich.

"I have something in my hand, I want to see your shopkeeper." Huang Laohan replied in a deep voice.

"Hey, okay, you sit down, wait a minute, I'll ask the shopkeeper to come out." As he spoke, the man lifted the curtain of the back door and walked to the back.

The shop is spacious, with a row of glass mahogany counters facing the door, and trays of crimson velvet cloth are placed in trays of crimson velvet, each containing two or three gold ornaments, large or small.

Soybeans don't understand why they use crimson velvet to match luxurious gold and silver jewelry, they seem to have seen bright yellow before, but it seems that in ancient times, bright yellow was used exclusively by the royal family.

Not to mention, the crimson velvet cloth with gold jewelry is also very generous.

There is also a row of counters on the east side of the entrance, which is made of delicate silver jewelry, also in trays, with a crimson velvet cloth, which is even more delicate than gold jewelry.

The curtain of the back door moved, and a man in his forties came in, with a slightly plump body and fair skin, and he was slightly stunned when he saw that there were only four people in the store, but he reacted quickly and immediately walked over.

"My husband has been waiting for a long time, in Xia Zhao Chengde, what do you need to buy?" As he spoke, he nodded slightly at the four of them

Huang Laohan hesitated a little and looked at the two guys. Zhao Chengde coughed, and the two guys hurriedly retreated to the door, standing on the left and right.

Huang Laohan stood in front of the glass counter, took out a dark blue money bag from his arms, and took out a piece of blue cotton cloth from the money bag, opened it, and the five pearls shimmered softly under the blue cotton cloth.

Zhao Chengde didn't expect that this old farmer in the countryside would have such a big five pearls in his hands.

The three small ones are negligible, and it is not uncommon to say that they are larger than soybeans. But these two beads the size of a dragon's eye are relatively rare. Or rather, I haven't seen it.

Zhao Chengde hurriedly looked left and right, at this moment the two guys were standing at the door waiting for the guests to arrive, Huang Laohan turned his back to the door, and Huang Laohan stood next to an eight or nine-year-old girl, and behind the old man stood a sturdy man, a young man in cloth.

There was no one on the street behind the old man.

Zhao Chengde hurriedly motioned to Huang Laohan to wrap the pearls, and raised his hand: "Uncle, please, it's still early, take a sip of tea and sit down." As he spoke, he led Huang Laohan to the back door, and instructed as he walked: "Sancai, go and pour tea for the guests." ”

Huang Laohan looked at the eldest son, and then at the younger son: "You are waiting outside, Doudou will come with grandpa." As he spoke, he followed Zhao Chengde to lift the curtain and enter the back door.

Huang Dou followed his grandfather back, and behind the curtain was another room, in which there were tables, chairs, teapots, calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and a flower stand in the corner of the wall, on which were placed three pots of green plants.

It should be a place to entertain guests or ladies, simple and clean, without a bit of luxury.

Zhao Chengde motioned for Huang Laohan to sit, and as soon as the two sat down, the guy named Sancai walked in with three teacups and a pot of tea.

Huang Laohan sat down calmly, Huang Dou did not sit, and walked behind his grandfather to stand still.

Zhao Chengde watched Sancai pour three cups of tea and walked out, before asking: "Uncle, can you take out the pearls, I'll take a closer look." ”

Huang Laohan took out the dark blue money bag from his arms again, took out the blue cotton cloth, and opened it gently.

Zhao Chengde stretched out his hand, took the two largest pearls in his hand, looked at them carefully, put them down, and picked up the three small pearls to take a look.

"I don't know if my husband sells or needs to order jewelry?"

"Sell."

Since I bought it, then I will estimate the price, and my husband will see if it is suitable. ”

"yes, okay."

"Three small pearls, thirty taels and two large pearls one hundred and eighty taels, a total of four hundred and fifty taels, what do you think."

Huang Laohan lowered his head and pondered, he originally predicted that five pearls could be sold for about three hundred taels, but now it seems that it is much higher than his original prediction.

However, Rong Baoxuan's price should already be considered good, and it is true that there is no bullying, but one hundred and eighty taels is not the real price of these two big pearls, such a pearl may be worth two or three hundred taels, but a pair, the price has at least doubled.

It is not an exaggeration to make good jewelry and sell it for thousands of taels, but this is also someone else's ability.

Huang Dou stood aside without being in a hurry, she knew that such an occasion was not suitable for her to interject as a child, and besides, she was still a girl, and her grandfather brought her in just to raise her eyesight, not to let her follow up to bargain.

"Shopkeeper Zhao, in this case, five pearls, you can directly give the old man five hundred taels, these two big pearls are worth the price."

Zhao Chengde didn't expect this old man from the countryside to be neither humble nor arrogant, not only understanding but also knowing the approximate price, either he had made a bid in advance, or someone entrusted him.

Zhao Chengde looked at the little girl beside Huang Laohan, an eight or nine-year-old girl, wearing clean floral clothes and pants, a pair of small cloth shoes, and the toe of the shoe was embroidered with orchid grass. There is no jewelry on his head, but he has red lips and white teeth, and bright eyes.

This should not be a child of a big family, but it is not something that a small family can raise, Zhao Chengde couldn't help frowning slightly.

Huang Dou saw the shopkeeper Zhao looking at himself, smiled slightly, took a step forward, walked to the table, picked up the tea bowl in front of him, and took a sip gently: "Grandpa, this is the Longjing of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zhao Chengde is really sure this time, this girl is the real seller, she should be the girl or girl of which business, look at her hand holding tea, her fingers are thin and white, no traces and no calluses, and she drinks it in one sip It is the Longjing of the Ming Dynasty, such a little girl can not be raised.

"Little girl, do you know tea too?" Zhao Chengde looked at the soybeans with a smile.

"Understand a little bit." Soybean replied softly.

What she said turned out to be an authentic Beijing official dialect, which was completely different from the old man's official dialect with a particularly strong local flavor, and she spoke clearly and couldn't hear a local accent.

"Oh, little girl, please." Shopkeeper Zhao put down the tea bowl and nodded at the soybeans.

Huang Dou also put down the tea bowl and simply sat on the chair next to her grandfather, she felt a little lacking in confidence to stand and talk.

"Before and after the Ming Dynasty, the tea mainly depends on the appearance, the leaves of Longjing before the Ming Dynasty are short and thick, and the leaves of Longjing after the Ming Dynasty are narrow and slender. Before the Ming Dynasty, the leaves of Longjing were tender green and light in color, while after the Ming Dynasty, the leaves were darker because of the rise in temperature. ”

Saying that, the soybeans picked up the tea bowl and took a sip: "The tea soup before the Ming Dynasty is particularly translucent and clear, and it tastes sweeter." The taste of the tea soup after the Ming Dynasty is heavy, the tea soup is dark, and the yellow ......"

Huang Dou put down the tea bowl, his eyes were clear, he looked at the shopkeeper Zhao and smiled slightly, thinking, I am pretending to be a wolf with a big tail!
