Sitting on the tea stall, waiting for Xing Xiaojiu to finish his work, it was already dusk. The afterglow of the setting sun painted the entire Ping'an Town golden.

"The owner, the money has been delivered." Xing Xiaojiu poured a bowl of tea and patted his chest comfortably.

"I found out something."

"What's going on recently, it's all about arresting and killing people, and there are a few Jianghu people with swords on their backs in the inn in the north of the city. In the Zhou family in the south of the city, the old mother is going to celebrate her 60th birthday...... In addition, the overnight silver in the Spring Building was also discounted, and I happened to pass by and heard it by chance. ”

"What did you say?" Chen Jing was shocked.

"The owner, I really didn't enter the Spring Building, those flower girls wanted to grab my hand, I immediately shook it off, and I washed it with soap powder several times!"

"No need to explain, I'm not asking this." Chen Jing rubbed his forehead, "You just said that in the Zhou family in the south of the city, the old mother is going to celebrate her sixtieth birthday?" ”

"Huh? That's right, that week's master had the best reputation, and sent a housekeeper to choose a birthday gift. ”

"Where are you going?"

"Chengnan Street."

Chen Jing raised his head and glanced at the sky. If there are no accidents, it will not be long before there is a curfew again. Safety first, he did not follow Chengnan Street after all, but took Xing Xiaojiu home first.

……

The next morning, after the curfew.

Xing Xiaojiu was standing in the courtyard, smelling his palm, and when he saw Chen Jing coming out, he was so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew his movements.

"Song Yu, I'll go out." Chen Jing turned around and shouted.

Song Yu nodded. It was only when Chen Jing came out of the courtyard and the footsteps were far away that she withdrew her gaze.

"Be careful on the road."

There was no rain for many days, and the sun was even hotter and drier.

The flower girls on the spring floor also became listless, shaking their hands with handkerchiefs, and even twisting their waists a little slower.

Driving away an old dog with his tongue sticking out, Xing Xiaojiu opened the shop and began to sort out some dusty objects.

As for Chen Jing, he had already walked to the street in the south of the city. You can't wait for death to do business, as long as you sell this one, the accumulation of the first pot of gold is basically completed.

The old mother of the Zhou family is 60 years old, and logically speaking, she will not invite him to the banquet. But Chen Jing saw a business opportunity.

As the richest ones in Ping'an Town, the Zhou family definitely has the ability to do a big business.

"Sixty birthdays, that is, six."

Picking the most eye-catching glass bead, Chen Jing walked very slowly. From time to time, I raised my head and looked at the crowd walking by. Until I saw an old man, humming a song and pacing, and under the compliment of the two family members, he walked out of a gold and silver shop.

Chen Jing got up and began to speed up his pace on the street where pedestrians were hurrying.

Boom.

The two collided, and the old housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion scolded his mother, and with the support of the family, he staggered up.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Chen Jing fell to the ground and hurriedly smiled.

"This is some tea money, so I should apologize."

stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, and saw the outfit on Chen Jing's body, not like an ordinary bitter person. The old butler took the scolding, took the silver, and nodded to leave.

"Huh? Where's my longevity? Chen Jing's face was shocked, and in front of the eyes of the people next to him, he searched nearby, and finally pinched a brightly colored glass bead in his hand.

Several people nearby widened their eyes and looked at the brilliant glass beads in the sun.

"If I don't see this thing, I'm finished. The 70th birthday of the master of the Bai family in the capital is clear, and he wants these longevity beads. The second child of the Bai family who gave Shouzhu wants a good reward. ”

Chen Jinghou patted his chest in fear, walked up to the old housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion again, comforted him a few more words, and then immediately turned around.

"Wait, wait." The voice of the old butler.

Turning his back, Chen Jing smiled. As long as you take the bait, the business is basically done. Of course, this method is also to blind ordinary people, and if you really encounter that kind of wise demon, you are afraid that you will be regarded as a fool.

"What's wrong? I have apologized and given the money for the tea. Chen Jing's face slowly piled up displeasure. In the eyes of others, I only thought that I had been greatly wronged.

"I know Xia Zhutou, don't fool me." Chen Jing added.

The old housekeeper's face was stunned, and then he became more polite, and pointed to the glass ball in Chen Jing's hand.

"You said earlier that this is Shouzhu?"

"If it is fake, the old man of the Bai family in the capital will have his seventieth birthday, and he is going to send seven pieces. That old man Bai is a person who knows the goods, and he only saw one, what kind of jade and golden longevity peach, and he can't get into his eyes anymore. ”

"The Bai family ...... on Suzaku Street in Beijing"

"It's hard to say." Chen Jing said with a smile.

"Excuse me, can you let me palm my eyes."

Chen Jing's face was worried, but he was still very generous, and put the glass bead in the old housekeeper's hand.

"It's a precious thing." After a while, the old butler exhaled, turned his head again, and looked at the gold and silver shops across the street.

"A few days ago, a big man went to the shop and bought a pair of golden toads, which cost a full two thousand taels. Jin Toad must be doped. To tell you the truth, I also own a treasure shop, and the truth of this is very clear. Chen Jing continued to smile, "Okay, return the beads to me, I still have to go back to the shop to do business." ”

"Excuse me, how much silver is a longevity pearl?" The old butler's face moved.

"One hundred taels. You have traveled all over Daran, and you will not see such a beautiful glass bead. ”

"Little shopkeeper, can you go to your shop and take a few looks?"

"Then you have to hurry, I still have to give Shou Zhu."

"Nature, nature."

……

Sitting in the afternoon sun, Chen Jing at this moment almost couldn't help it, and wanted to shout two sentences comfortably.

"Owner, sold, sold?"

"Sold." Chen Jing smiled. Like this glass ball, there are as many as you want. However, after this round, it's time to move on to other businesses.

If you are worried about the origin of the glass beads, sooner or later there will be a disaster.

If you do the math, in less than half a month, he sold a total of seven pieces in Ping'an Town by making glass balls, earning nearly seven hundred taels. And that's not counting the one for the pawnshop.

Starve the faint-hearted, and support the bold.

"Xiao Jiu, if someone comes to ask in the future, they will say that there are no glass beads."

"Boss, what are we going to do in the future?"

"No hurry, let me think about it."

With the first pot of gold accumulated, it is time to slowly expand the business. But no matter what, the matter of the arrest warrant in Ping'an Town has not stopped, so it is better to be careful.

"Xiao Jiu, do you know any other masters, you want the kind of one who can rest assured."

If he wants to establish a clan in the future, a good hand like Xing Xiaojiu is indispensable. Of course, it can't be the kind of person who is infected with vices, otherwise it will be too embarrassing to be killed by the master and rob the wealth.

Xing Xiaojiu's face was helpless, "Dongjia, I'm from Xiazhou, where will I know you." Otherwise, go to the north of the city to find a few people who break into the rivers and lakes, I heard that there are still chivalrous, righteous cover the clouds. ”

"Not yet." Chen Jing shook his head.

For a moment, he remembered the man who had been mistakenly killed for night fishing. There are some things that cannot be touched until there is great strength.

"Xiao Jiu, go buy some roast chicken and braised pork, buy two strings of sugar gourds for Xiaoqiu, and then make a pot of wine. When we get home, we'll have a table. ”

"Dongjia, Lao Xing, I like you!"

"I like your mother."

Chen Jing laughed, turned his head, and looked at the scene outside the shop. Ping'an Town, which has been hot for many days, finally ushered in the first cool breeze. In an instant, another dark cloud gathered over the town, and the momentum was rolling.

The entire town of Ping'an was slowly enveloped in darkness.
