Chapter 40: No way to make money

Chapter 40 No way to make money

Jia Baoyu hasn't gone out for two months. This time he suddenly wanted to go out and brought a lot of money with him. Of course, it was not simply to help Xichun buy something or stroll around. Jia Baoyu wanted to find a way to see if he could find a way to make money.

It is a convention to find some ways to make money after traveling through time. Jia Baoyu wanted to avoid the common people but was inevitable. The market with the most crowded people naturally could observe the most intuitively what was there and what was missing here.

After a inspection, Jia Baoyu was a little unbeliever because the facts told Jia Baoyu that he had no idea where to make money, such as making paper, soap, glass, and wine, they had already developed almost at this time. Even those who had not developed well could not be improved by Jia Baoyu's level.

Originally, Jia Baoyu was thinking about making wine. Jia Baoyu didn’t know how many books he read this method, but Jia Baoyu asked about the current winemaking technology that various concentrations are not a problem, and wine and other things were also available hundreds of years ago.

Others like perfumes are already available, but they are not popular yet. Besides, even without Jia Baoyu, he could not create this perfume. How could he, a science student who studies civil engineering, know about these things? Do you have to go to construction?

In order to confirm that it wasn't something he missed, Jia Baoyu looked around the market again and finally confirmed that he had everything he could think of. Jia Baoyu couldn't help but feel disappointed when he saw this.

Mingyan and others who followed him saw Jia Baoyu visiting the market twice, and asked a few questions from time to time without buying anything. They were all confused. However, because they saw that Jia Baoyu's original enthusiasm became worse and worse, they were not good at speaking and afraid of being scolded.

It was not until Jia Baoyu stopped Mingyan dared to speak, "What's wrong with Er Master? Could it be that he hasn't found anything suitable? If this is the case, there are two streets in the south. Although it is not as prosperous as here, there are many novel objects. How about the little one taking Er Master?"

After hearing this, Jia Baoyu shook his head and said, "It's not like that. You're still on this street later! It's getting late now. I'll pick up something for my fourth sister to deliver it to my yard, and then go to Brother Xue's banquet."

Mingyan heard this and said, "Jia Baoyu then put his thoughts on making money aside and focused on browsing the scenery of the dynasty that never appeared. Jia Baoyu didn't know the specific situation of the Qing Dynasty, that is, the Jin Kingdom, but the various situations of the Hua Dynasty were actually somewhat similar to those of the Qing Dynasty that Jia Baoyu knew.

This is naturally not about the ethnic conflicts and power struggles, but about the prosperity between the markets. This shows that the Chinese dynasty has been ruled by a hundred years very good. Jia Baoyu did not enter the expensive shop, but just carried the street stalls that looked elegant and elegant or very interesting, so he spent a few cents to buy them and threw them to Mingyan on the side. Mingyan threw them to the three waiting hoes. At this time, the three of them held a bag that Jia Baoyu ordered to prepare.

Not long after, the three servants each had half a bag of things. At this time, Jia Baoyu had only spent more than a tael of silver. Jia Baoyu could only sigh that he was rich now. After throwing a grasshopper made of grass in, Jia Baoyu saw that it was almost noon. Jia Baoyu stopped the continuous sweep and decided to go to Xue Pan's banquet.

Now Jia Baoyu is not unhappy or something. From the perspective of his heart, Jia Baoyu is still very happy to attend such gatherings. After all, this kind of gathering can still get a lot of benefits. At least you can know that those people are enemies and friends, and it is better to take precautions early.

Now there is no way to make money, and Jia Baoyu's wish to make the Jia family not lose money is halfway. However, this does not mean that the wish to save the Jia family cannot be realized. Money is something outside of it. This is the truth for families like the Jia family. As long as the Jia family does not lose money, these things are nothing.

The sudden fall of the Jia family was something that the Redology enthusiasts had been studying for hundreds of years but couldn't compete for thorough things. What's more, it's not the original Red Mansion World now. Jia Baoyu is sure that something is changing little by little because of his arrival in a place he doesn't know.

The fall of a big family is naturally due to the addition of internal and external troubles, not to mention the big family like the Jia family, which is even more accompanied by Wang, Shi, and Xue families. Some say that they were in the wrong team, and some say that they were other reasons. In a word, external troubles occupy a large part, and internal troubles broke out again only if they failed to solve the problem. What Jia Baoyu had to do was to do his best to make the internal troubles smaller and make the external troubles disappear.

Jia Baoyu did not have too much memory of Juxianlou in his memory. Obviously, Jia Baoyu didn't come to that kind of place in the past, so Jia Baoyu asked Mingyan to lead the way, and thought it was not convenient to hold so many small things, not to mention that some of them were easily damaged, so he ordered the hoe to send the things back first.

Mingyan was in front, Jia Baoyu was in the middle, luring the spring, Mo Yu was behind, and the four of them went to Juxian Tower. Halfway through the journey, Jia Baoyu suddenly saw a street that looked very elegant. The archway on the street had no name, but was painted with many musical instruments.

Jia Baoyu was curious and asked, "Where is this place?"

After hearing Jia Baoyu's question, the closest to Jia Baoyu's answer was the answer, "This is a street that specializes in musical instruments. I heard that it is very famous. Most of the musical instruments in various mansions come from here."

Jia Baoyu immediately became thoughtful when he heard this. If you want to say that Jia Baoyu knows a kind of musical instrument, it is the flute. This is the favorite of the dean of the orphanage where Jia Baoyu was in. When Jia Baoyu heard that he liked it, he begged to learn it. The dean also handed over to Jia Baoyu. Unexpectedly, Jia Baoyu is quite talented in this, but after learning it for a few weeks, he learned it.

In the years that followed, Jia Baoyu never missed this subject. Unfortunately, in modern times, the flute had declined a little, and there were too many factors needed to become famous. Although Jia Baoyu was talented, his education level was too poor, and his level could only be said to be of top quality. In addition, he had no money to learn music and could not compose music by himself, so he had no chance, so he always played in his spare time.

In the past two months, I haven't seen the flute in Jia Baoyu's room and I don't have the intention to do it, so I never went to play. Now I think about it, but I feel a little itchy. I want to buy a good flute and practice it. After all, I have been used to it for more than ten years and I suddenly left it and I feel reluctant to leave it.

"Go in and take a look!" After saying that, Jia Baoyu took the lead in going like this street. Mingyan originally thought that it was getting late now and it might be too late if he didn't go, but he was unwilling to disturb Jia Baoyu's interest, so he forced himself to swallow the words he said.

As for Yinquan, Mo Yu didn't say anything. Jia Baoyu didn't read it one by one. He liked to read it by buying things, and it was still late. If he really had to read it one by one, it would be too late. Therefore, Jia Baoyu read the names of each store and only went in when he met someone he liked it.

The street was almost over, but Jia Baoyu had not seen the name he liked. Mingyan and the others were thinking in their hearts. They all said that Master Bao Er had changed, but his picky habits did not decrease at all.

Until he reached the end of the street, Jia Baoyu still couldn't choose the right place. He wanted to find a random family, but inadvertently he saw a small storefront at the corner in front, which looked a bit mysterious.

Jia Baoyu walked over directly, and Mingyan and the other two hurriedly followed. At that time, Jia Baoyu showed surprise because the entire store was covered with various bamboo flutes. Jia Baoyu looked up at the name of the store but could not find it. Then he saw the three words Xiangfei Pavilion on the left side of the store.

This name instantly reminded Jia Baoyu of Daiyu. He was not afraid that the store was small and had no good things. He walked in and there was a unique world inside. There were dozens of beautiful bamboo flutes hanging on the wall, which were not comparable to those outside. After closer inspection, he found that they were all made of Xiangfei bamboo. Jia Baoyu then understood why it was called Xiangfei Temple.

Because the space inside was so small and Mo Yu didn't come in, but was waiting outside, only Mingyan followed in. There was only Xiao in the room but no one was seen. Mingyan shouted loudly when she saw this: "Shopkeeper, there are customers coming to the door, why don't you come out quickly, storekeeper, store owner."

Mingyan shouted over and over again but no one came over. Just as he was about to enter, an old voice suddenly came from inside, "What's the noise? It's a big noon that disturbs people's dreams, and the young man doesn't know how to accumulate some virtue."

Then he saw a very old man slowly coming out of the inner room. Seeing that he looked like Jia Baoyu felt like he would die in the next second. Mingyan was about to be angry, but he was embarrassed to see the old man in such a state of appearance.

Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a good quality of the Chinese nation. Naturally, Jia Baoyu is very respectful to such an old man in his twilight years. After signaling Mingyan not to speak, Jia Baoyu stepped forward and bowed: "Old man, I want to buy a flute here. I don't know if there is anything suitable to recommend."

The old man looked up at Jia Baoyu and was slightly surprised. Then he laughed dryly, "You kid still know some etiquette. You are not like this kid around you, who doesn't understand the rules."

After saying that, he said to Mingyan again: "Learn from your master."

Mingyan was about to refute, but was stopped by Jia Baoyu. Somehow, when the old man looked up at Jia Baoyu just now, Jia Baoyu felt completely seen through. What surprised Jia Baoyu even more was that the old man's eyes were extremely spirited, and there was no feeling of being in tranquil years at all. In short, it seemed that those eyes did not belong to the old man in front of him at all.
