Chapter 5 The Wind Rises

As night falls, every house is lit up. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The pedestrians on this street have not decreased, but have become more lively than during the day.

Xiao Jin and the old housekeeper stood in the lobby on the first floor, looking out, a large group of shopkeepers walked in. The old housekeeper whispered their identities on the side, and Xiao Jin listened attentively and nodded from time to time.

After about the tea cup time, no one was coming in or out, and it seemed that everyone who should have come had already come. So, Xiao Jin signaled to the old housekeeper that he could start.

Seeing this, the old housekeeper looked straight, then walked to the center of the lobby and bowed: "Today, I invited some acquaintances to get together, but I didn't expect so many people to come, there are places that are not well taken care of, and I invite Haihan." "After that, the old butler made a joke.

"Well said, well said"

"The shopkeeper was polite"

There was a sudden chaos below, and you said a word to me, and it was chaotic.

Seeing this, the old housekeeper was not annoyed, so he simply closed his mouth and started to make a saw-mouth gourd. The people below were all knowledgeable, and the scene gradually quieted down.

"Ahem," the old butler looked down and quieted down, and then continued: "There is a word first, today is to call the big guy to make a fortune together, and the old man will not speak in vain." ”

"Our Xiao family's bead-holding recipe is going to be sold!"

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of discussion below, and the scene was very noisy.

Seeing this, Xiao Jin raised his legs and walked to the old housekeeper: "Colleagues, be polite, I am Xiao Jin, and this recipe is mine!"

Everyone looked at Xiao Jin coming, they were all surprised, and then when they heard Xiao Jin say that this recipe was his, they suddenly showed surprise one by one. Just because this recipe is the treasure of generations of wealth. Then there is a look of disdain that can't be concealed, just because Xiao Jin is too young!

Xiao Jin didn't care, he pulled off the purse on his body casually, and then walked to a copper basin in front of him and stood still, opening the purse.

The sound of the pearl entering the plate was particularly pleasant at this time, and those businessmen suddenly showed greed in their eyes when they heard it, this is simply the sound of money!

"Some time ago, my Xiao family sold a batch of pearls, but it didn't come to fruition, which aroused everyone's interest. ”

"You have come here today for nothing more than the bead to hold the prescription. ”

"I said, taking everyone to make a fortune is not empty words, selling lip service. This recipe, the Xiao family sells!" After speaking, Xiao Jin signaled to the old housekeeper.

I saw that as soon as the old butler waved his hand, two people came carrying a large basin. When everyone looked closer, there was half a basin of water in the basin, and there were dozens of mussels in addition to that!

"Just based on my empty mouth and white teeth, everyone will inevitably have doubts, please see. As he spoke, Xiao Jin pointed to the wooden basin.

When the old butler heard this, he took out a mussel, skillfully peeled it off with a knife, and took out four pearls from it, one of which was of extremely poor condition, one of which was ordinary, and two of which were of high grade. Then, the old butler kept peeling off the mussels in the wooden basin one by one.

The scene was silent for a while, and the shopkeepers of all merchants held their breath and watched intently as the pearls were taken out. In the lobby of the food for the sky, only the sound of the knife and the mussel shell rubbing in the old butler's hand was heard.

After about a quarter of an hour, all the mussels had been peeled, and there were pearls in all of them! The old butler was exhausted and out of breath.

"Everyone, the beads that are peeled off in front of everyone's eyes can't be faked, right?" Xiao Jin opened his mouth with a smile.

"It turns out that this kind of bead holding technique is really used in this world. The audience muttered in distraction.

Xiao Jin glanced at him, he was a middle-aged fat man, laughed, and then said: "With the fake pearls made today, choose the bright and round, take a slightly larger clam clam, invade it with clear water, wait for it to open, rush to cast it with beads, frequently change the clear water, put it in the middle of the moon at night, and the clam comes to play with the moon, and it becomes a pearl after two autumns." ”

Xiao Jin smiled, and her crisp voice echoed in the lobby: "The passage just now is taken from Pang Yuanying's "Wenchang Miscellaneous Records" of the previous dynasty, which shows that this method of pearl breeding has existed since ancient times. ”

Everyone present, many of the shopkeepers of merchants heard this, their eyes rolled, and they moved other thoughts.

"If the young master tells the origin of this pearl holding technique, isn't he afraid that everyone won't buy your recipe?" asked a young scribe-looking man.

"Don't be afraid, when they find out, I don't know what year or month it will be. It took decades of hard work for our Xiao family to succeed, and there are still too many lucks. ”

"There are many people who know the origin of this pearl holding technique, but in the end, my Xiao family became it. Xiao Jin looked confident and resolute at this time.

"If it's true, it's a mountain of gold. Someone said dreamily.

"Now you believe that my Xiao family does have this thaumaturgy. What this benevolent brother said is that this is indeed a guarantee of wealth for generations, and a good recipe for family heirlooms. ”

"Today, the Xiao family took it out and sold it, not because they had any harmful intentions, but purely for self-preservation. ”

"Today, the Xiao family has to come up with this recipe, but it arouses everyone's curiosity. There is no impermeable wall in this world, and it is only a matter of time before you know that my Xiao family has such thaumaturgy. But my Xiao family doesn't have much power, and I can't protect it by relying on my own family alone, so I want to invite everyone to come and make a fortune together!"

"I won't say much about it, but please take a look at the color of this bead, and then talk about how you get rich. With that, Xiao Jin motioned for everyone to step forward.

Suddenly, seven or eight people stepped forward, and a few people stood up and sat down, and the scene was quiet for a while. Several people looked at the quality and size of the beads one by one, and then got together and whispered about it.

"These are all river pearls, although some are of very poor quality, but there are also extraordinary quality, which is rare. "Business is business, and since you want to do this business, you can't overdo it.

"Our Xiao family has been groping for so long, and we won't have a little background. Among the 100 beads, there are about nine of the top grades, twenty-five of the top grades, and fifty of the middle grades, and the rest are of extremely poor condition. ”

"However, even this very poor quality bead is also a rare good thing to use for grinding pearl powder. With that, Xiao Jin no longer glanced at the person just now.

When the old courtier heard this, his old face was slightly red. He didn't expect that Xiao Jin would expose his lies with just one mouth.

"The number starts at one, stands at three, becomes five, flourishes at seven, and ends at nine. This recipe, our Xiao family is going to sell six copies, counting our Xiao family, a total of seven businesses! This is a good omen for this Qisheng! That is to say, from now on, there will be a total of seven thaumaturgies in this world!"

As soon as Xiao Jin's words came out, he immediately set off a storm in the crowd!

I thought that this kind of thaumaturgy would end up being the one with the highest price, and everyone had a plan, and they would not be able to raise the price, and in the end they would share the profits. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jin actually came up with such a method. If this is the case, then the seven companies with the formula will form an alliance of interests in an instant! They have a natural advantage, and once the seven companies unite, the pearls on the market will be affected by them, and the price will be controlled by them! What is this? This is a huge profit!

All of a sudden, the business partners around them became competitors, each looking at each other, with unconcealed vigilance and hostility in their eyes.

At this moment, a man in coarse cloth sweated profusely and broke in: "Young Master of the Xiao family, something happened to your family!"

When Xiao Jin heard this, his first reaction was not to believe it at first, but then an envoy from the yamen came over: "Who is the young master of the Xiao family? Something happened to your family, four people died in the house, and the house was also set on fire." ”

When Xiao Jin heard this, it was as if he had been hit head-on by a Mercedes-Benz train, and his heart couldn't help twitching. With a shake of her legs, Xiao Jin gritted her teeth and stood up again, stumbling towards home.
