Chapter 15: Ripe Silk
"Master Cao loses one, Master Lu naturally loses fifteen, everyone hurry up and place a bet, buy and leave, otherwise the winner will be divided quickly, don't miss it." Master Zhao, who is sitting in the village, is naturally happy to see it.
Many people are also happy to bet.
One loss is also a small amount of money.
Everyone is also a poor family, but a few or a dozen are betting, and winning is naturally an excuse for adding more dishes, and it doesn't matter if you lose.
The so-called small gambling pleasure.
Life is sad, and everyone relies on these to have more entertainment.
Of course, the most natural bets on Master Cao, mainly because Boss Zhao set the threshold, Master Cao's win is naturally recognized by everyone, after all, the craft is put there, and the bet is naturally blocked by how long Master Cao will come out, whether it is a pillar of incense time, or half a pillar of incense, otherwise the dealer will not lose a lot.
is very tolerant of Lu Jian'an, Master Lu, and does not set the time, mainly because even if no one bets without setting restrictions, if the threshold is set, then there are still people who bet.
Boss Zhao happily beckoned the big guy to hurry up.
Naturally, his silk reeling room can't be borrowed for nothing, this is a foreign income.
Even Lu Jian'an is really unpopular, and he can't blame everyone, everyone knows that the aunt and grandmother of the Xu family know that they married the Lu family, and it was a beautiful scenery back then, the Lu family was a big family in Kyoto, but who knows, it is so gray and slippery now, a widow with two children, everyone can guess if they don't know the situation.
Naturally, there is everything to say, this Lu family is so mixed up that they want to come back and rely on their mother's family to make a living, who will have a good impression of Lu Jian'an, the son of the Lu family.
Seeing that Lu Jian'an had a blank account book, Boss Zhao also shook his head.
Not even a blind cat touched a dead mouse.
No one is stupid, and they can't give money for nothing.
"I'll buy Lu Jian'an to win."
A voice whispered to the guy who was registering, spreading it out in his hand, and it was actually a hundred yuan.
No matter how low the voice is, it can't stand the sharp ears of people here, and there is no one who bought Lu Jian'an, and now one actually pops up.
"This man is not stupid, is he?"
"That's right! It's clear that you're going to lose, but you still buy it? How much money is stupid? ”
"What do you know, you don't look at who bets, that's Xu Mengshan."
"Oh! Then I know, the little shopkeeper of the Xu family's silk workshop, Xu Yuan's eldest son, understand, Lu Jian'an's relatives! This is here to support a scene, probably Qi doesn't want his own loss to be too ugly! ”
"The problem is that it's not throwing money in vain! What a shame. ”
"Lu Jian'an, this is not a scourge to relatives."
"You are in charge of other people's houses, and you are not your relatives."
Everyone laughed for a while, Xu Mengshan's face was red to the root of his ears, he was pointed at by so many people, and his back bones were trembling, if it wasn't really impossible, Lu Jian'an was his aunt's son after all, and he couldn't just stand idly by.
"Okay, Xu Gongzi, then buy and leave, one will lose twenty, and one hundred will buy Lu Jian'an to win!"
But in the blink of an eye, the odds went up again.
Xu Mengshan can't wait to get into the crack in the ground, if you collect money, you will collect money, why are you shouting so loudly.
At this moment, he was completely watched.
Squeezing out the crowd, Xu Mengshan sat anxiously outside Lu Jian's room, listening to the movement inside, knowing that one hundred wen was lost, he was also distressed, this hundred wen is his pocket money for a month, don't look at him as the young shopkeeper of Xu's Silk Workshop, in fact, it sounds good.
It's a miscellaneous worker, and the wages he earns are not as much as those of other people's miscellaneous workers, and the family's silk mill business is too bad, and no one has a hard time! This hundred articles is really a big loss.
But can you look at Lu Jian'an and be embarrassed?
Not really.
How can he be considered an aunt and cousin, if he doesn't move, he will be laughed at by outsiders, Xu Mengshan gritted his teeth and did it.
A stick of incense is lit on the incense burner outside, and when a stick of incense ends, the winner will be divided! Although he knew that Lu Jian'an was lost! There is still a trace of luck in my heart.
I hope that this sixth brother may not have learned two tricks from his uncle, although the Lu family is not a famous family in Kyoto, it can be regarded as a first-class family, and it is more than enough to be more than the bottom, since the uncle dares to take their family out to fend for themselves, he should at least have some confidence.
I just hope that this sixth brother has some surprising means.
But why is he so unconfident?
This pillar of incense, how does it feel so long.
Xu Mengshan looked at the scarlet incense head, and pondered a little stupidly, Master Cao estimated that at most half of the pillar of incense should come out, and now he only burned a head, not even a fifth, and he felt a little uneasy.
I finally got on the line with Master Cao in a low voice, just thinking about whether the Xu family can cooperate with the Cao family, and helping others to reel silk is also a way out, and the profit is a little thinner, but it is also stronger than the current days.
A squeak.
Someone came out.
When Xu Mengshan and the others saw that it was Lu Jian'an, they knew that they hadn't even burned out a single incense stick, so how much silk could they reel.
Mentally prepared, still a little speechless.
Lu Jian'an at least pretended to be a little bit longer, this is not a face.
At this time, it is specified that there is no reeling out the silk.
"Sixth brother! It's okay, if you lose, you lose, you won't be ashamed to lose to Master Cao, you are a scholar anyway, this reeling has little to do with you, you should concentrate on reading in the future...... It's ......"
Xu Mengshan looked at the red lacquered wood tray handed over by Lu Jian'an in front of him, and blinked his eyes with some suspicion, could it be that he was hallucinating.
Lu Jian'an was a little sorry.
"That...... There's been a lot going on lately! I haven't practiced for some days, and my craft has regressed a little, so I'm sorry! ”
Lu Jian'an is also unconfident, who let himself come here and have never practiced, he is really a hand student, he was really a little blushing and ashamed just now, and he said that he was a master.
Even the little reeling silk is about to be returned to others, which is really embarrassing.
Everyone stared at the tray with wide eyes.
"It's ...... Cooked silk?! ”
"Am I blind?"
"You're not blind, what I see is also cooked silk, how can it be that no one in our Fengshan County is proficient in cooked silk."
"God, it's only taken a long time, and what people have reeled out is cooked silk, Lu ...... See An, no, it's Master Lu, it's really a great ability. ”
There was an uproar among the people around.
It's no wonder that no one in Fengshan County will be cooked silk, otherwise how can there be Fengshan Sheng, Liupan Cooked, which refers to the fact that people in this part of Fengshan County can only get raw silk, and the price of this cooked silk is more than twice as expensive as raw silk, but the craftsmanship of cooked silk is not for everyone.
Now in their realm, there is actually a Master Lu who knows how to know silk.
It can not make people excited and red-eyed.
Many people were surprised in their hearts, the Xu family didn't know that this Lu Jian'an would be familiar with silk, otherwise the Xu family wouldn't be able to move without moving.
Wrong! Just now, Xu Mengshan bet on Lu Jian'an for 100 yuan, could it be that people actually know, otherwise they would have the confidence to bet.
