At Miss Susu's birthday banquet, Shi Zhaitou not only set up a flowing water table in the village, but also invited several nearby village leaders to come, and Elder You was of course among them.

"Sister, are you here?" Seeing that it was Gui Mingyue, Su Su enthusiastically stepped forward and took her hand, and whispered in her ear: "Today, all my companions praise me for my beautiful face." Then he beckoned, and said to the group of little girls waiting on the side: "Come on, this is what I told you about the powerful sister Gui." ”

Gui Mingyue blushed by her straightforward praise, and the little girls in Miao Village were bold and enthusiastic one by one, and after a while, they also learned to call Gui Mingyue Sister Gui.

After a while, he pointed to the pattern on the plain ornament, and twittered and asked, "Sister Gui, what is it called, it's so cute." After a while, he pointed to Li Mobai, who was standing behind Gui Mingyue, and asked, "Sister Gui, who is he, he looks so handsome." ”

Although Gui Mingyue is mentally old, it does not prevent her from having a sweet and youthful smile on her round apple face, and she quickly mingles with this group of little girls.

Li Mobai couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, this woman pretending to be cute is really enough to bluff people, if she hadn't seen her squinting her eyes and threatening herself with cold eyes, she would really be deceived by her innocent appearance.

"Sister, I'll introduce my dad to you." Su Su said sweetly.

Gui Mingyue immediately took away the innocent and lovely look on her face, and changed it to a dignified and generous appearance. Su Su thought that she was nervous and deliberately pretending to be an adult, and couldn't help but snicker a little, Daddy is really scary sometimes, especially when he trains people with a straight face.

"I heard that Miss Gui wants to buy the white copper in our village?" Shi Zhaitou didn't have the energy to beat around the bush, and said directly: "It's just that compared to what you've heard, we never do business with outsiders." This time, Miss Gui came to participate in the little girl's birthday banquet, we welcome it, as for the rest, there is no need to say more. ”

"Daddy!" Before Gui Mingyue could exit, Su Su shouted unhappily: "Sister Gui is my friend, you can't put on such a fierce face!" ”

"Daddy put on a fierce face...... Shi Zhaitou whispered helplessly, turned his head to Gui Mingyue and said, "Miss Gui, please enter the play first." ”

The banquet was bustling, and it was really impossible to talk about business.

When everyone was seated, Gui Mingyue took out a small box from his sleeve, put it on Su Su's hand next to him, and whispered: "In our Central Plains, there is a custom of giving birthday gifts to friends, this is for you." ”

Su Su happily took it, opened it gently, and suddenly jumped up in surprise, and the sound of staggering stopped all around, and looked over, including Shi Zhaitou and Elder You.

This one...... This is the ornament that the Virgin of the Holy Medicine Village wears on her chest?

Some of the old people who had the good fortune to see the Virgin, and the few village leaders who had seen the stone statue of her old man, could not help but be amazed. Especially in Shizhaitou, he has also seen the stone statue, this Virgin is famous, and in the hearts of the people of Shengyaozhai is a more noble existence than God.

He didn't know what Elder You's relationship was with this Miss Gui, but such a valuable and sacred gift was probably inappropriate, but when he turned around, he saw that Su Su had already put it on his neck, and he kept stroking it with his hand, and was about to go over and order her to take it off and return it to others.

Elder You, who was calm and relaxed next to him, held down his arm to prevent him from doing so, Gui Mingyue and Elder You looked at each other, and the latter nodded slightly.

Gui Mingyue got up and saluted the stunned crowd in the banquet, and said loudly: "Everyone guessed right, this ornament is the same as the one of the Holy Mother of our Holy Medicine Village, but don't be surprised, this is not the one her old man wears." ”

"So, what is this?" Mrs. Shi wondered in her heart, could it be that she made it.

"Little girl is not talented, this one was made by me. There is actually an extraordinary meaning in this necklace. Gui Mingyue said.

"Oh, what does it mean, Miss Gui might as well talk about it." As a woman, Mrs. Shi is full of curiosity and attraction for this beautiful and magical ornament.

Gui Mingyue nodded, and then said: "The two birds on this necklace are recorded in ancient books and are called Honghu, the so-called Honghu ambition, which is to use its wings to fly high in the sky, to express our lofty ambitions. However, in fact, in my hometown, they are also called swans, swans have always appeared in pairs, legend has it that they are more loyal and persistent than people, only one partner in their life, if one party unfortunately dies, the other is convenient to die without food or sleep, so they symbolize pure unswerving love. ”

After the story about the swan was finished, everyone fell into contemplation, especially for the fierce Miao Village women who have been loyal to love all their lives, Gui Mingyue's words undoubtedly ignited a torch of faith in their hearts.

"This double swan necklace is a favorite of the Virgin Mary, a symbol of her old faith. After consulting with Elder You, I decided to make this necklace so that more people could wear it and spread the spirit of Our Lady's loyalty to more people. Gui Mingyue continued: "And the base material for making this necklace, I used white copper, which is known as Miao Yin. "The chain is made of white copper, and the outline of two swans is hammered, which is inlaid with solid crystals.

"Wow, our cupronickel can make such delicate jewelry!" The villagers were amazed.

"Yes, the white copper jewelry I have seen is nothing more than some bulky tiaras and necklaces, if it is not for the festivals handed down by my ancestors must be worn, I really don't want to."

"I've seen our white copper sold to Shudu and made into more elaborate jewelry, but it can't compare to the sparkle of the one that Miss Su Su wears."

The sound of discussion and admiration became louder and louder, and the head of the stone village was not seen, but just beckoned a few elders to drink and eat food as usual, but the heart turned up a shocking wave, and the little girl used the white copper of her village to make jewelry with such an amazing dazzling effect.

And after Gui Mingyue over there finished saying that, she sat down and ate and drank happily with Su Su, and didn't say a word about the white copper anymore. It was very readily agreed to make a swan necklace for each of the enthusiastic Miao Village girls who came to beg for it, and nothing else was mentioned.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Shi was very anxious, she was not so ignorant, after seeing a few pieces of jewelry given to Su Su by Gui Mingyue, and listening to her words, how could she not hear the value contained in it from the inside, the value of the white copper in the village, and this value can only be realized by Miss Gui.

But now people don't mention the purchase of white copper, and they blame Su Su's father for being too fierce to people, which annoys people.

The third day after the feast.

Gui Mingyue and Yu Hongbo and others are happy to see them fighting like this, while waiting for the delicious food out of the pot, Yu Hongbo joked to Mingyue: "Yue'er, where did you get the title of this swan?" Hometown, your hometown Nanyang, I remember that no one called this kind of bird a swan...... Are you fooling people again? ”

"The secret of heaven must not be revealed" Gui Mingyue pretended to be a mysterious discount sloppy eye, and then took a bite of the fried burnt glutinous rice cake, and shouted: "Shen'er, you are old, the heat is not right, it is not right." ”

"Okay, Miss, I'll make it for you again, and let the young master eat the rest, don't waste it."

"Hey! Silver pendant, you've learned badly. Yu Hongbo sighed, this month not only has the ability to deceive people, but also the ability to change the topic.

Everyone was happily together, and a few people came in the house, which turned out to be from Longhe Village.

The person who came was a Sven man who looked like a housekeeper, and said respectfully: "Miss Gui, we want to invite you to go to the village to talk about it, I don't know if Miss Gui is willing to appreciate the light?" ”

Gui Mingyue glanced at Yu Hongbo, the latter smiled knowingly, Gui Mingyue didn't take Qiao, stood up and said, "You're leading the way."

"Miss, wait a minute" Li Mobai has been out for the past few days, and he has only come back for less than a moment, and he was fed a big mouthful of fried glutinous rice by Yu Hongbo as soon as he came back, and he didn't have time to return to Mingyue before he could recover his life. Seeing that Gui Mingyue was going to follow the people of Longhe Village to see the head of Shizhai, she whispered a few words into her ear, Gui Mingyue nodded with a smile after listening to it, and then followed the housekeeper out of the door.

In the face of Shizhaitou's many doubts and hesitations, Gui Mingyue didn't want to bother to speak, so she had to say sincerely: "I can't make you believe in our sincerity and faith for a while, but since we can travel thousands of miles to come here, it means that we have shown full sincerity." As for credit, the most important thing to do business is the long-term, I Gui Mingyue never do a hammer of business, my jewelry shop will be open for as long as I will do business with your village, and my shop of course I hope it will be opened from generation to generation, not only in Nanyang, but also in Bianliang, Yunmengzhou, and even Shudu ......"

Shi Zhaitou was infected by Gui Mingyue's ambition and enthusiasm, and he did not feel a trace of boasting in the eyes of this little girl, but strong confidence and faith.

"Good! We Longhezhai will do this business with you, as for the price, it is the same as what we sold in Shudu, how about it? Shizhaitou made a decision on the spot.

Who knew that Gui Mingyue shook her head with a smile and said: "Our demand must have beaten the demand of any shop in Shudu, and as far as I know, in recent years, they have come to Longhe Village to buy less and less white copper, because they all learn the emerging styles of jewelry from the Central Plains, and most of those styles are made of gold, silver, jade and other things." This has caused a large amount of cupronickel to be hoarded in our village. ”

Seeing that Shizhaitou was furrowed from anger at the beginning, Gui Mingyue continued: "I heard that Shizhaitou is looking for cooperation from other shops in Shuzhong, but the entire Sichuan and Shu are so big, and the demand for white copper is really limited." ”

And most of the uses of this kind of white copper are to make tiara and necklaces for festivals. The woman in Shu, since she was born, has created a pair of Miao silver head noodles at home, as a major festival to wear, a little richer people can be a new one a year, and the family is almost to adulthood, and the pair is worn every year.

The consumption of cupronickel cannot go up.

Shi Zhaitou laughed three times and said: "Miss Gui is really not an ordinary person, since she has touched our situation so clearly, then Shi will not say more, how about a drop in the price of a piece of white copper?" ”

"Twenty percent!" Gui Mingyue shook her head.

Shi Zhaitou frowned and said in a deep voice: "Drop one and a half, it can't be less." ”

"Good! That's half a percent. Gui Mingyue happily agreed this time.

Shi Zhaitou breathed a sigh of relief, sat down and said, "Miss Gui, please drink tea." ”

After the two exchanged greetings for a long time, Gui Mingyue got up to say goodbye. Shi Zhaitou personally sent out the gate of the village, and said with a sigh: "I didn't expect Miss Gui to be young, so she is so smart and talented, which really makes Shi admire, admire!" ”
