Chapter 21: There are carrots in the gang

The county town of Sanshui County is located on the north side of the street at the east gate of the city wall. There is a shop with the words "Jiaoyou". This place is a little bit off, and not many people are coming and going in front of the door.

The shopkeeper who was sitting in the hall didn't know where to rest, so he just left the guy alone at the counter, looking bored at the pedestrians who occasionally passed by the door.

It was noon, and the guy had heard his stomach roaring and no one came to ask him to replace him. He could only continue to stand here, thinking about the food and food in the restaurant from time to time, and felt more hungry, and even the movement of the shadows of the trees outside slowed down.

He put his arms on the counter, his chin was pillowed, and his eyes were staring at the small soup cake restaurant opposite him, muttering: "It's good to eat a bowl of soup cakes. In this broken store, there are no two people coming to the door in one day."

Just as he was muttering, two people turned in at the door. The guy immediately took his arms off, glanced at him, and concluded that the two were rich men, wearing long silk clothes, and a piece of jade was hanging from the rope hanging from his waist. As he walked, he kept rising and falling.

"You two are objective, I want to find something, and I will give you some advice." The guy changed into a smiley expression based on his own judgment and asked respectfully.

"Go and have fun, let's take a look." One of them said, shaking his hands and throwing a small piece of silver over.

The guy quickly caught it. After a moment of weighing it, he estimated that it was about three cents. It was a distinguished guest. I felt that I was energetic and was not hungry. I had three cents of silver. When I got off work in the evening, I went to Xingchunlou for a good meal and found a beautiful sister. I would just come back tomorrow morning.

The two of them just looked at each other and didn't say anything. They turned around and suddenly stared at a painting, looked at each other, and nodded at the same time. The person who had just given the money spoke:

"What kind of painting is this man?"

"Oh, objectively, your eyes are so poisonous. You can see this painting at a glance. This painting is painted by predecessors, early spring water lily picture. Look at the tip of this stroke, it is hard but not folded, soft but not demonic, and just a few strokes have already put it..."

"Okay, okay, how much does this painting cost?" Before the guy could finish his continuous praise, the man waved his hand impatiently, interrupted the introduction, and asked directly about the price.

The guy is so sensible. If someone doesn't let him talk, then he won't say it. Looking at the painting, he is planning how much it should cost. If the painting is not damaged at all, it would be fine to cost twenty taels of silver. The problem is that there is obviously a place on the painting that was burned by fire.

Just in the upper right corner of the painting, there is a hole as big as a nail, which has been repaired by the craftsman using special techniques, but it can still be seen that he doesn’t know how to ask for money for a while. If he is too much, he is afraid that he will leave directly. If he is too little, he feels that he can get less rewards. If he is selling more, he will get more.

Just as he was hesitating, a voice sounded from behind.

"Liu Wang, are you lazy again and not seeing the distinguished guests coming, so why don't you serve them well?"

When he heard the sound, the guy Liu Wang felt relieved. The shopkeeper came out. He quickly turned around and said to the shopkeeper: "Uncle Zhao, these two people fell in love with the painting on the wall. I forgot about the price."

The guy blinked his eyes as he spoke.

Manager Zhao actually didn't need a clue to suggestion from the two of them. He saw that his wealth was not low on the two of them. He looked at the painting again and said with a smile: "I don't know what the distinguished guest is called?"

"Li." The first person who spoke replied a word and did not say much.

"It turns out it's Mr. Li. The young master is interested in this painting, so he really has a vision. In theory, this..."

"How much?" Mr. Li asked the price directly without waiting for Manager Zhao to speak.

"Two hundred taels, this painting was painted by famous Western Jin Dynasty artists. It has been a long time and is not well kept, and there are slight flaws on the painting. Therefore, objectively, only 150 taels of silver can be taken away."

Manager Zhao didn't know how much he should have. He wanted to ask for a price all over the place and waited for the other party to say anything. He was not afraid that the seller would not buy it, but that the seller would not sell it too much and that people would look down on it. There were always such people.

"One hundred and fifty taels? OK, I bought it." Mr. Li agreed directly without paying any price.

Manager Zhao was stunned and felt a little regretful. If he had known that these two people were so easy to talk to, he would have asked for more just now, but he could not regret it at this moment. Just as he was about to walk over and take off the painting and pack it, Mr. Li spoke again.

"Don't be busy for now. I haven't brought enough money today. I only have fifty taels. I'll calculate the money first and come to collect it in a few days, okay?"

When Manager Zhao heard this, he nodded and said yes. It seems that anyone who has nothing to do will bring so much money on his house, which is so heavy that he won’t be afraid of fifty taels.

"I heard that some shops will secretly change things after others have paid the deposit and use inferior products as good ones. I wonder..." Mr. Li asked again.

Manager Zhao knew that he was worried and immediately said, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, don't worry, our store will never do such a thing. If you are not at ease, you can come to ask someone to guarantee it, but... it will cost more to find someone to guarantee it."

"It's okay, go find it." Mr. Li said.

This made Manager Zhao feel more relieved. He was really worried. In a few days, the two of them found someone who knew what they knew and asked for the money back. Even if they didn't go back, they would have some quarrels and urged Liu Wang to come and he prepared all the tea and snacks.

A moment later, Liu Wang came back with the survivor. The survivor asked for the price and asked for a premium of 150 cents. Mr. Li gave it without saying a word.

Take off the painting and remember some of the unique features above, which is easy to prove.

Mr. Li deliberately used thin paper to carefully draw the burnt place on the painting, and added some explanations of burning marks around it, and proposed to take it out after half a month. If the painting is not the case, the store will compensate ten times the silver liang. If it is not for this painting after half a month, if it is not for it, if it is not for it, Mr. Li will pay a hundred cents of extra money every night, and if it is not for one month, the deposit will be given to the store.

Manager Zhao thought about it and saw that there was still someone who was ignorant to protect him. He nodded in agreement. Both parties put their handprints on the seals and the transaction was completed. Seeing the two people walking away, it was not only Manager Zhao's happiness, but Liu Wang also received a five-cent silver reward.

The sun is getting slanted, red clouds are everywhere, silk is rolling, birds are flying, white feathers are graceful.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan walked hand in hand by the river in front of the door, and the sun shone the shadows of the two people long.

Xiaohong looked nervously, afraid that when the two little ancestors would jump down when they were happy, such things could happen. Who made his young master different from others?

"Xiaobao, do you think you can raise some ducks and geese by guiding this water to a dug pond? Salted goose eggs and salted duck eggs are better than salted eggs?" Wang Juan stood by the river, looking at the clear flowing water and the occasionally flashing fish shadows under the flowing water, and asked in a yearning manner.

"Well, I think so too, but now I'm not in enough staff. The most important thing is that I don't have enough money. I will make the latest things work. If you want to eat, you can go to the farm to change it first. After a few days, I will have money."

Zhang Xiaobao had this plan a few days ago and wanted to care about his mother's request for money. After hesitating, he decided to make money by himself, not the shortage of these few days.

"Young master, little lady, let's go back and don't fall down." Xiaohong always felt that this place was dangerous and persuaded him that the water was not deep, so it would be easier to flood the two children.

"Don't be afraid, Juanjuan and I can do water. Just look at the flowing water. We are in a good mood and how beautiful the day is. When the matter here is done, you will be responsible for raising ducks and geese, and you can raise lotus flowers. There are more dishes, and you will always pay for it. If you can solve it yourself, you will solve it yourself. Every meal is hard-earned."

Zhang Xiaobao said this and took a step back to prevent Xiaohong from worrying.

Xiaohong nodded blankly, feeling that the young master's words seemed to be more acceptable to say from his wife.

While the three of them were enjoying the sunset, sunset, flying birds and flowing water, they hurried over and said to Wang Juan as soon as they met:

"Little lady, the little one already knows where the thing is placed. According to the description of the Song liar, we found several boats on the Luoshui River and saw the red and green things from the occasionally exposed places."

As he spoke, the man took out a piece of paper from his arms and drew something on it. It was because he found someone to draw pictures that he wasted time.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan looked up at the painting and said at the same time: "Carrot."

"Good thing, there is new food now. I haven't seen this thing here yet." Zhang Xiaobao was happy.

Wang Juan also nodded violently, "Yes, this thing should not be made from local. It seems that it was really obtained from Fanjiao. I don't know what the liar Song thought? It seems that it is all on the boat. So can some of the people in the middle that are not lacking in moisture continue to plant? When we have seeds, we can plant them ourselves. I like to eat fried carrot slices, what about you?"

"I like to eat raw, and I like to eat cucumbers, eggplants, and cabbages. I like to eat raw and use them as fruits." Zhang Xiaobao replied.

"How can you use these things as fruits? Carrots are not good to eat raw." Wang Juan said with a smile.

"What should I do? Who can send fruit to the orphanage without any trouble? Those people finally delivered a little. They bought it for 100 yuan, but they insisted on 1,000 yuan. The reporters from all over the world brought a lot, because they were afraid that others would not know that he would give him something."

Zhang Xiaobao said with a pout.

"So that's it. Then you really suffered a lot when you were a child. People all want a good reputation." Wang Juan sighed, feeling that Zhang Xiaobao was really pitiful when he was a child.

Zhang Xiaobao shook his head indifferently, "Actually, I am very grateful to those people. No matter what their purpose is, they can just deliver things. If someone gives them every day, I would rather give them a proof. A hundred yuan is enough to say ten thousand yuan, which is better than nothing.

My happiest thing is to fulfill the dean’s grandfather’s wish and be able to change another child before he dies. It’s worth it. Now, there will be carrots to eat in the future.”

"Xiaobao, please allow me to evaluate you with solemn words. You are a good liar." Wang Juan said with her big eyes blinking.
