"Of course I bought it! What do you think? ”

Zhu Pei couldn't hide the smugness on her face, she just wanted to surprise Fanning, Fanning's exaggerated expression made her very satisfied.

Zhu Pei continued triumphantly: "The third grandfather promised to resell it to the Strange Stone Pavilion for three thousand yuan, so that the high monthly rent can be waived!" ”

Although it is not a sky-high house in the Song Huizong period, the housing price is already very high, not ordinary people can be similar, Fan Ning estimates that this shop is worth at least 10,000 guan, and the monthly rent will not be less than 100 guan.

Although the monthly rent of 100 guan is nothing for the lucrative strange stone business, having a shop of its own means that the strange stone museum has a foundation in the capital.

Fan Ning couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and ran directly to the second floor, which was also full of bookshelves, the area was about the same as the first floor, but higher, at least nearly two feet away from the roof, making the space extremely wide.

Fanning walked quickly to the back window again, and looked down the window, and there was a courtyard behind it, about sixty or seventy square meters, surrounded by a wall, which seemed to have been unused, and was overgrown with wild grass.

Fan Ning secretly thought in his heart that a large Taihu Lake stone could be placed here.

At this time, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly ran back to the staircase and asked, "Jupei, is there a water transport dock around here?" ”

"Absolutely!"

Zhu Pei said angrily downstairs: "Walk fifty steps north, and you will see the Bianhe River, be satisfied!" ”

"That's good, I'm afraid that if there is no wharf, the large Taihu Lake stone can't be transported in!"

Fan Ning walked down from the upper floor and said with a smile: "This shop sold it to me for 3,000 yuan, is your third grandfather too much of a loss." ”

Zhu Pei glared at Fanning, "What do you mean to sell to you, don't I have a share of this store?" Is it good for me to take forty percent, the third grandfather actually sold it to the Strange Stone Pavilion for five thousand yuan, and only charged three thousand yuan, and my two thousand yuan was exempted. ”

Fan Ning shook his head, "But even five thousand yuan is very cheap, I estimate that this shop is worth at least ten thousand yuan, and your third grandfather has given up a money-making store, his loss is too great." ”

"You have a conscience when you think like this, in fact, the third grandfather is very guilty of you, and he thinks it is his responsibility to leak the secret recipe, but in the end he makes you bear the loss, so he is very happy to take this shop, which can be regarded as a little compensation for you."

Fan Ning nodded, although more than half a year had passed since the leak, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhao would not fail to give himself an explanation.

It seems that Zhu Yuanzhao is also waiting for the opportunity to open a store in the capital this time.

Fan Ning thought for a moment and smiled at Zhu Pei: "When will you invite your third grandfather to have a meal again, and then have a good chat with him about other business opportunities." ”

Zhu Pei said happily: "The third grandfather happened to go back to Pingjiang Mansion, and when he comes back, I will tell him, I believe he will be very happy!" ”

The two left the shop and returned to the carriage, and as soon as Fanning got into the carriage, Zhu Zhe smiled brightly and handed Fanning the finished work.

Fan Ning took the stone carving version of "Traveling in the Mountains and Streams", and couldn't help but praise again: "This kind of charm, I'm afraid only the original painting can be compared, this is the most wonderful stone carving I have ever seen." ”

Fan Ning took out the box containing the golden flower again, and handed it to Zhu Zhe with a smile, "Brother Zhe, this is a gift I gave you." ”

Zhu Zhe's eyes lit up, he took the box, looked at Fanning, and then looked at the box, with a surprised smile on his face.

"Open it and take a look!"

Zhu Zhe slowly opened the box, and inside was a vivid golden flower, he touched the petals, and then touched the pearl in the middle, and slowly fell into contemplation.

Ju Pei sighed, "This golden flower is estimated to be dismantled when he goes back." ”

Fanning smiled and nodded, "I hope he can bring this golden flower to life, I don't know if there is no comparison, compared to Brother Zhe's carving, this golden flower is really like a dead thing." ”

．．．．．．．．

In Shoushanxi, Luoyuan County, Fuzhou, Mingren and Mingli have bought 1,500 acres of land, the land is located in Luoyuan County, and the two brothers got the guidance of the locals, and did not buy all the farmland, but first bought a tidal flat along the river, about 1,000 acres.

This tidal flat contains too much sand to farm, and the locals are mining sand here to build houses, and most of the Tianhuangshi purchased by the brothers comes from this tidal flat, which is the richest place to hide Tianhuangshi.

This sandy land belonged to several monasteries, and the brothers Akihito and Mingli bought this sandy land at a price of money per mu, and at the same time bought hundreds of acres of land at each end of the sandy land.

The houses and warehouses needed for mining have been built, and they have hired 500 people to dig and mine Huangshi in the sand at a price of 100 cents a day.

Hearing that it was the capital of the Zhu family, the government of Luoyuan County was very cooperative, and the county order specially sent several officials to help maintain order.

The mine is hot, a group of people dig sand and gravel in the open field, and all the turned out stones are placed in large baskets, which include Tianhuang stone and ordinary pebbles, and then are identified by special personnel.

The sand was sent to the sand dump in the distance by wheelbarrow, and there were more than a dozen people in charge of sifting the sand, even the thumb-sized Tian Huangshi would not let go.

At this time, there was a commotion in the second mine to the north, and many people put down their tools and rushed to this side.

"Tell the proprietor!" An overseer shouted.

A teenager ran to a house a mile away.

Inside the house, Mingli was making sencha, while Akihito was sitting in front of a large basket, carefully admiring the superb Tianhuangshi in the basket.

They have been here for a month, and they quickly integrated into their roles, the two of them are extremely intelligent, have learned the local dialect, and have done a good job, especially their research and experience of Tian Huangshi, which has surpassed Fanning.

As long as the interests of the locals are not violated, everyone gets along very well, and even if there is any difficulty, everyone will be happy to help.

The two brothers have become local celebrities, and everyone can't tell the two of them apart, so they all call them Xiaofan officials.

In the process of acquiring Tian Huangshi, the two brothers gradually divided Tian Huangshi into three grades, not every piece of Tian Huang Stone gives the same price, one is the top frozen stone Tian Huang, a slightly worse moisturizing, called ordinary Tian Huang, and there is a kind of impurities such as black and gray, called Hei Tian Huang, which belongs to the inferior Tian Huang,

The best frozen Ishida Huang is stored in a special small warehouse, and ordinary Tian Huang and Kuroda Huang are stored in a large warehouse.

"Second brother, when do you say these stones will turn into gold? Just like A-Ning said, one or two fields of yellow and one or two gold. ”

Mingli fried the tea, poured a cup for himself and Mingren, and said with a smile: "Didn't A-Ning say it?" It takes time to promote, first to open up the upper route, especially the Son of Heaven, once the Son of Heaven likes Shangtian Huangshi, the following magnates will search around as a treasure, to be honest, I also hope that this day will come as late as possible, let us have a little more stones. ”

"You have a point, once the Son of Heaven takes a fancy to it, the price will skyrocket, and the magnates will come to mine, so let's not think about getting Tianhuangshi so cheaply."

"I'm afraid that the government will monopolize it, just like the surrounding silver mines, the government occupies most of the mines, so we can only drink some soup."

At this time, their assistant Yang Qingfei ran over, "Two officials, a big ore vein has been found in the No. 2 mine!" ”

The two glanced at each other, they didn't even care about drinking tea, they ran away, ran a few steps, Akihito came back and locked the door, the top Tian Huangshi was in their room, be careful, he locked the door, and called an assistant to come and guard the door, so he rushed to chase after him.

In a large pit in the No. 2 mine, workers are carefully digging out of the pit one by one, and they have dug more than 20 in a row, and there are many below.

At this time, Mingren and Mingli ran over, looking at the cobblestones all over the ground, and the two of them suddenly became excited, this was the first time they had dug such a large Tianhuang stone.

Mingli stepped forward and washed off the soil on one of the Tianhuang stones with water, revealing a crystal fine Huangshi, with fine radish patterns distributed in the stone, which was actually the top frozen stone Tianhuang.

The two brothers were overjoyed, and Mingli immediately shouted to everyone: "Well done in the second district, today will reward five times the salary!" More than 100 people at the scene immediately cheered. ”

By dusk, a total of 174 Tianhuangshi as big as a water tank were dug out from more than a dozen acres of sand, and more than 1,000 Tianhuangshi as big as grapefruit were dug up, of which ninety percent were the best frozen stone Tianhuang.

The two brothers immediately decided to hire ox carts overnight to send this batch of Tian Huangshi and the previous hundreds of top-grade Tian Huangshi to the Minxian warehouse, and Ming Ren escorted the boat back to Pingjiang Mansion.

That night, Pham Minh Nhin personally escorted dozens of ox carts loaded with top Tian Huangshi to Min County.
