Chapter 341 Popular Silver Jewelry
Speaking of Shen Tian, Huang Xinghua couldn’t stop crying, “Your sister has always been quiet and well-behaved. If that woman hadn’t gone too far, she wouldn’t have fallen out. think of that A woman can be so arrogant, your sister is really unlucky!"
"Mom, I will make sure to understand my sister's situation when I go to the imperial capital this time. If it doesn't work, I will stay there to spend the New Year with her." Shen Dagou said with relief.
Huang Xinghua sighed, "That's not necessary. You have been running around outside and it's hard to stay at home for a while. It's better to come back, so as not to make your wife feel unhappy."
She I haven't lost my mind yet and messed with my eldest son and his wife.
Shen Dagou didn't say anything and planned to act according to the situation.
After a few days of busy work, Suchuan and others have not yet set off. Ke Dasong led a group of fellow villagers and drove a huge flock of sheep into Shenjiazhuang. It was estimated that there were more than 20,000 sheep.
Ke Dasong hurriedly explained to Su Tai before he could take a breath, "You want too many cattle and sheep. We asked around and collected more than 20,000. We still owe more than half of them next year." , how about filling it in for you next year?”
Su Tai nodded, “Don’t worry, we’ll have to find a way to get these sheep for a while.”
This is not an ice field. Without that much fodder, how much fodder do 20,000 sheep need to consume in a day? Su Tai didn't dare to think that the best way was to kill some of them and freeze them while the weather was cold.
Prepare another portion of frozen mutton for Suchuan and the others to take away.
Su Chunlin also has to arrange for thousands more.
Such a large workload requires the whole village to come forward to help.
When the goods were ready, Su Chuan and his party took dozens of oxcarts of goods on the road again, and Su Tai could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
On Su Chuan's side, seeing more than double the amount of goods than before, he couldn't help but feel dizzy.
The group arrived in Fucheng and stayed briefly for a day. By the way, they asked if there were any inns or restaurants that needed to collect mutton.
This question really got them to a few stores, and after a whole day of work, they managed to sell out an oxen and a cartload of goods.
The caravan continues to move toward the southeast. The further it goes, the scarcer the mutton becomes, and the sales speed is much faster. They shout a few times in the villages along the way, and they can usually sell one or two. Most of them are from several families together. They bought together and sold some even with Ringo. Occasionally, they would be targeted by malicious people on the road. They had to scare the monkeys and try not to cause any casualties. After a month and a half of stumbling like this, they finally arrived. Imperial capital.
Different from the severe cold in Lizhou, although the imperial capital is also cold, the cold is milder. Occasionally, you can see some green pines and cypresses outside the city. Even if the branches are covered with snow, they are still strong and unyielding. , people can’t help but straighten their spines after seeing it.
There were many pedestrians coming and going on the street, horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts and donkey-carts criss-crossed, and people were shouting.
Seeing such a bustling scene, Suchuan and the others relaxed their tense nerves a lot. Once they entered the city, they were infected by the atmosphere and started hawking at the top of their lungs.
The caravan’s mutton has been sold out, but Ringo kept a lot of it, and it was still very fresh.
As soon as everyone shouted, someone immediately gathered around. After the quilt covering Ringo was lifted, the red fruit with a charming fragrance suddenly attracted everyone's attention. Everyone inquired about it. The price is completely acceptable.
Those who don’t have money will buy one or two to go back and taste, and those who have money will buy baskets by baskets.
The shopkeepers of restaurants and inns on the street came over after smelling the smell. This house wanted a cart, and that house wanted a cage. A dozen or so carts were sold out in less than half a day. When they arrived at Xiao Xi's shop, they all looked as if they had been robbed. They were all in a mess. The only goods left were braised beef, woolen sweaters, some other candies, snacks, brown sugar and white sugar, as well as a small box of jade given by Su Tai. and some fine silver jewelry.
Xiaoxi's eyes shone when she saw those silver jewelry, "Brother, are these all given by my sister? They are so beautiful! The craftsmanship of a master?"
Since opening the shop, Xiaoxi has been determined Pay attention to the situation in the imperial capital. There is no shortage of rich people here. The rouge and gouache shop and the silver building are the favorite places for ladies to go out.
Although the silver shop is not as lively as the restaurant, as long as one order is made, she can earn more than the restaurant in half a day. Her shop is like a grocery store, selling everything and not being good at anything, but the advantage is that it always has something fresh. Shit, ladies from rich families would come to her place occasionally. If they put these silver jewelry in the shop, they are sure to fetch a good price.
How could Su Chuan know what a master is or not, but he knew that people in the imperial capital were particular about the origins of things, the more interested they would be, and he immediately started making nonsense, "Yes, yes, yes! I heard it is. What a retired master, he has been making jewelry all his life. Look at this carving, the flowers on it are made just like real ones. In the middle of winter, just looking at this hairpin makes you feel like spring is blooming.
The pearls above are all genuine, and this one, the petals are made of jade and are of very good quality. You will know after you take them under the sun and take a look at them. "
Xiao Xi hurriedly took the hairpin to the street and kept turning it towards the sun. Soon, two masked women in brocade clothes blocked her way.
"Hello , can we see this hairpin? "
Xiao Xi turned around suddenly, was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly handed over the hairpin and greeted warmly: "Miss, this is the jewelry just sent from our shop. It is a masterpiece of a hidden master. I am here. I have never seen a silver hairpin with such complicated craftsmanship in the silver building! ”
What she said is not an exaggeration at all. The jade petals on the silver hairpin are a selling point, and more importantly, the design. It is a phoenix, soaring in the sky surrounded by flowers, whether it is a phoenix or a phoenix. Flowers, all come alive
The pearls and gems on the tassels are all genuine, and there are also a pair of removable tassels for earrings, which complete the set.
If you want to make earrings, take them off. If you don’t need them, leave them on the hairpin to look more luxurious and gorgeous.
The two masked women can naturally see what is special about the hairpin.
Although he liked it, he kept it quiet and asked softly: "Is this separate from the hairpin or a complete set?"
"This. I didn't look carefully. How about two of them?" Miss, please follow me into the shop to take a look. It just so happens that there are a lot of new things here today." Xiao Xi greeted her eagerly.
The two women followed her into the shop.
Xiao Xi invited them to sit on the chairs by the window to rest, and then gave them a pot of fragrant tea. Then she went over and took out the jewelry Suchuan brought.
While looking at it, she exclaimed, "Yo! Oh my god, what is this?"
As she spoke, she took out a palm-sized butterfly, with a silver body covered with pearls and big wings. It kept flapping and dancing, as if it were alive.
The eyes of the two ladies changed instantly, "Quick! Show us!"
Seeing how excited they were, Xiao Xi didn't dare to delay and presented them with a box of butterfly clips without bothering to pack other jewelry.
The two ladies were really attracted by the dreamlike butterflies.
Let Xiaoxi wrap the things without saying anything.
