Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!

The uncle and aunt of the Chen family wanted to get the 8,000 taels of silver, so they naturally had to go to the government with Pan'er and hand over the title deed of Duobaolou to her in front of the guarantor.

When the Chen family restaurant first opened, the Chen family's uncle and aunt knew that Chen Fu was just a cook, working under others, and the real owner of the restaurant was a young woman.

As soon as she saw Pan'er at this moment, her fat face immediately twitched a few times, her complexion was blue and white, she clenched her teeth, and held it for a long time before she said:

"Are you the proprietress of the Chen Family Restaurant?"

Pan'er raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect Aunt Chen to remember her, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, she didn't mean to hide it, she nodded reservedly, seeing that the thin deed was stamped with a big seal, she waved her hand, Zhou Zhuangtou directly handed over the eight thousand taels of silver tickets to Aunt Chen, and then left the yamen with his wife.

Seeing that her own Duobaolou became someone else's, Aunt Chen sat on the ground, not caring about her face at all, and screaming like a pig at the top of her throat.

"The surname is Chen, your good nephew deceived our Duobaolou, don't you teach a lesson about this kind of eating inside and out, do you really want to let our whole family live on the streets?"

At this moment, Pan'er and his party have not gone far, they heard the movement and looked back, and found that Aunt Chen had a handful of snot and tears, crying very sadly, Mr. Chen disliked his daughter-in-law and was embarrassed, and pulled the woman's collar hard, wanting to drag the person up, but his daughter-in-law's weight was really not light, and Mr. Chen spent a lot of effort to subdue the person.

The middle-aged man's forehead burst with green tendons, his white fat face showed a hideous color, and he slapped Aunt Chen in the face, without sparing any strength, and stunned Aunt Chen, who was crying and wiping tears, the left cheek was swollen like a steamed bun, and a wisp of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

"You who kill a thousand knives, you don't feel comfortable in your heart, so you make the old lady angry, it's really a useless wreck!"

Keeping moving forward, the voices of the Chen family's uncles and aunts gradually became quieter, remembering that Chen Fu was driven out of the Duobao Building by the husband and wife, Pan'er sneered, and couldn't sympathize with them at all.

Chen Fu's craftsmanship she knows in her heart, even compared with the imperial kitchen in the forbidden palace, it is not bad, it is precisely because of such a standing chef that the business of Duobaolou can always be prosperous, the uncle and aunt of the Chen family bully their nephews on weekdays, and finally sweep people out of the house, there is such a greedy boss who has no brains, and it is only a matter of time before Duobaolou falls.

But Pan'er didn't expect things to be so coincidental, she just wanted to set up a shop to use as a gambling stone, and the Chen family's uncle and aunt planned to sell Duobaolou, which was really sleepy and someone sent a pillow.

Things went smoothly, Pan'er felt how comfortable she was, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, the pear vortex on her cheeks flickered, and her small appearance was very attractive, but the guards she brought with her were all old men from the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and they had long been accustomed to the beauty of their ladies, one by one they were like wooden stakes, and their complexions did not change in the slightest.

Compared to these well-trained guards in the Hou Mansion, the reaction of ordinary people was much greater.

A man with oily hair and pink face was also on the street, looking at the delicate beauty who was coming towards him, his eyes were round, and there was no one else in sight, and he walked forward in a daze, hitting the tree hard.

Seeing that the man was holding his head and making a muffled snort of pain in his mouth, Pan'er's face was flushed, and he didn't want to stay on the street any longer, so he was supported by Luan Yu and hurriedly got into the carriage.

Luan Yu's mind was meticulous, and she helped her master fold the title deed and put it in an earthy yellow envelope, which was also very convenient to pick up in the future.

Riding back to the Hou Mansion in a carriage, Pan'er waited for more than 20 days, and the first batch of wool bought from Myanmar was finally delivered.

Even if it's just stone, most of them haven't opened the window, and you can't see the green through the stone skin, but there may be jade worth a thousand gold here, and the dart master who transported it was careful along the way, and didn't dare to bump into it, otherwise the precious jade jade would be destroyed, wouldn't that be a tyrannical thing?

Several large truckloads of wool were sent directly to the Hou Mansion, Pan'er walked to the spacious backyard, looked at the pieces of wool of different sizes, and felt like a rabbit in her arms, and her heart was pounding and beating.

As soon as they saw their ladies approaching, these dart masters took a few steps back, not wanting to bump into the delicate ladies in the back house.

The woman's skin and flesh are very delicate and delicate with spiritual spring water, there is no callus on her fingertips, and her skin is as if coated with a layer of lard. Pan'er covered her palm with a piece of wool the size of a grinding plate, she wondered in her heart, this stone is not small, and the possibility of green should be quite large, who knows that the palm of her hand has been put up for a while, she has not felt a trace of aura, is it because the stone skin is too thick, and the aura is blocked?

People who gamble on stones often say: It is difficult for immortals to break an inch of jade.

Because of the fact that there is a spiritual spring in the center of her eyebrows, Pan'er is very sensitive to things with aura on weekdays, and even when she sees a pregnant woman, she can feel the state of the fetus in her womb.

She thought that relying on this keen sense could bring great help to the gambling stone, but if she couldn't perceive the aura of the jade in it, how could it be good?

The delicate willow eyebrows frowned slightly, Pan'er was still a little unwilling, her palm moved slowly, and she moved slowly against the dark wool, turning most of the circle, her body suddenly stiffened, and a faint airflow flowed along her fingertips, if it weren't for Pan'er's keen perception, I was afraid that she would have missed it.

Coming to the house with the dart master, there is also a young and gray beard calcite master, this old master surnamed Li, is over sixty years old, but he has rich experience, and the knife is very stable when calcifying the stone, and almost will not hurt the precious jade in the stone skin.

Pan'er asked the guards to put the dark wool on the ground, and Master Li walked closer, only to see the beautiful general's wife gesturing.

"Bother you to cut through the wool."

Master Li has been calculating stones for many years, looking at this piece of wool with a grinding plate, he only feels that there may not be goods in it, but the woman in front of him is a dignified general's wife, and he is a small craftsman, so naturally he can't disobey the orders of the nobles.

The wrinkled dry palm held the saw tightly, and Master Li bowed his waist slightly, and according to Pan'er's words, he sawed the wool from the middle little by little.

Calving the stone is both time-consuming and energy-consuming, but Pan'er is not too anxious, and asks the people in the house to beckon the dart masters to go down to rest, while she sits on the round bench, watching the stone skin slowly peel off without blinking.

This knife went down, and sure enough, there was no green.

Seeing this scene, Master Li seemed to be expected, not surprised at all, Pan'er stepped forward, put her palm against the edge of the wool, and found that the upper left corner of the cut wool had the strongest aura, if this stone could be green, it should be there.

Thinking so in his heart, Pan'er said directly, Master Li took out a soft cloth, wiped the saw in his hand, and cut off the stone in the upper left corner, this piece of wool was the size of a grinding disc at the beginning, and at this moment there is only one-eighth left, and it is not much bigger than a human head to the naked eye.

Although the weather has not yet reached the hottest time, the noon sun is still hot, Pan'er is sitting under the shade of the tree, her fair little face is reddened by the sun, and a layer of fine sweat beads appear on her head.

People like her, who have not done anything, are still hot like this, Master Li's hands have been busy all the time, and they have never been idle at all, Pan'er ordered the little maids who were waiting beside her, and asked them to go to the small kitchen to bring crisp cheese with crushed ice.

The price of the cheese is not too high, but a craftsman like Master Li is definitely reluctant to buy it.

The little maid walked up to the old man with a bowl, and Pan'er spoke.

"Master, take a break for the time being, eat some crisp cheese to cool off, let's get it later."

Hearing this, the old man showed a trace of hesitation on his face, but he didn't say anything to excuse himself, after all, Mrs. is the patron of the salary, and this owner is not in a hurry, so why should a worker like him be in a hurry?

Put the emery file on the ground, Master Li's palms were all sweaty, he was wearing gray-brown short clothes, doing calcifying work all the year round, he was not exquisite, wiped the sweat with his cuffs at will, took the delicate glass bowl, scooped a large spoonful of milky white trembling cheese, and sent it directly into his mouth.

The cold milk flavor spreads in the mouth in an instant, the crisp cheese is like the most delicate tofu brain, there is no need to chew at all, the tip of the tongue is slightly forced, and it will melt directly, this fine taste has never been tasted by Master Li, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while.

He remembered the general's wife in front of him, who seemed to be the proprietress of Rong'anfang and Chen's restaurant, those two shops were famous in the capital, and even Master Li had tasted the pickles of Rong'anfang.

Every few days, Master Li has to get up early in the morning, go to the gate of Rong'an Fang to line up, buy pickles, and sometimes the guys in the store will add a spoonful of braised soup, which is also a rare taste to take home for stew. But if you go late, with the popularity of pickles, I'm afraid there will be nothing left in the shop.

After eating a whole bowl of crisp cheese, Master Li was almost rested, bent down to pick up the emery file, and continued to move in an orderly manner.

Originally, Master Li was still a little unconcerned, but Luan Yu suddenly spoke: "It's green!" ”

Hearing this, Master Li sighed in his heart, hurriedly looked down, and found that the place where the window was opened with a file could indeed see a faint greenery, he looked up a little stunned, glanced at the general's wife who was sitting steadily, and found that the woman's face showed a clear look, as if she had already guessed that the wool would be green, is this really a gambling stone expert?

Master Li replaced the sand strip, carefully grinding, because the wool out of the green, he polished the action more carefully, the stone skin like raindrops, crackling and falling to the ground, I don't know how long it took, the jade inside revealed the true face of Lushan.

This piece of jadeite rough is not a monochrome emerald, but has a green, purple and red Fu Lu Shou, which is enough for adult men to be so big, but unfortunately it is not a good glass seed, but a bean seed, and the water head is not too good, otherwise this color of Fu Lu Shou should be able to sell at a good price.

Although Pan'er had never gambled on stones before, she had been married to Chu Liang for many years, and she didn't know how many high-quality jewelry, so she took the fist-sized piece of jade in her hand at this moment, looked at the turbid color inside, and couldn't help but shake her head. No wonder when she touched the stone just now, she only felt a trace of aura, it turned out that this grinding plate of large wool, there was only a piece of bean seed Fu Lushou in it, the quality is not too good, the dart master who went to buy wool bought all the stones without opening the window, and the price is not too high, otherwise Pan'er is afraid that he will be distressed to death.
