Chapter 18 Barbeque in the yard
"Thank you, sister, no need." Shen You politely declined.
"We are all neighbors, so why are we so polite?"
Sister Cui introduced with a smile, "This is my nephew, Cui Qun. He works in a decoration company and his income is not bad, four to five thousand a month."
She was not really enthusiastic, but she saw that this little girl was good-looking, could run a shop, had a house and a car.
And I heard that she is the only girl in the family, so I wanted to introduce her to them.
Cui Qun looked at Shen You, who was dressed in simple work clothes and holding a flower shovel in his hand, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
With a confident expression on his face, he glanced at it,
"The designer in your yard is not professional. A big brand store like ours wouldn't do it like this."
Seeing his gesture, Shen You only found it funny, "There is no designer, I arrange it all myself, as long as I like it."
Cui Qun shook his head in disapproval,
"It looks good to people who don't understand, but if you look closely, the layout is not classy. You will know later that taking care of it is time-consuming, laborious, and expensive. I suggest you."
Shen You rolled her eyes, "Yes, you know best. Even the King who understands me doesn't understand you. I suggest you not to have so many suggestions."
She couldn't hide the look of disgust in her eyes. Cui Qun just felt that a layman was ignorant, so he changed the topic with dignity,
"I heard that an antique store does not open for three years, but it lasts three years after opening. Your store's income is pretty good, right?
As soon as I saw you, I knew that you were a capable person who knew how to live a good life. Unlike my ex-girlfriend, whose salary was only 3,500, and who only knew how to shop online and order takeout every day. Let’s add a friend. ”
Shen You tightened his grip on the shovel, "Are you going to scold me again?"
"Are you angry because I mentioned my ex-girlfriend?" Cui Qun smiled proudly. This is what young girls do.
He wanted to continue talking, but Shen You didn't give him this chance.
"Your salary of four to five thousand is not much higher than others, who are you looking down on?
Not only do I order takeout every day, but I also give you several months of salary for one trip to the mall. Your ex-girlfriend left you, which was really the right decision. ”
After saying that, he closed the door with a bang.
Cui Qun stood on the steps outside, staring at the wooden door, and after holding it in for a long time, he said,
"You have such a bad temper, no man will dare to marry you in the future!"
That's great, Shen You sneered.
It was a joy to have the yard finished, but then a strange person came out of nowhere.
After the little episode just now, Shen You ordered a barbecue takeout, then planted the remaining flowers, cleaned them up, and took a bath.
Just as the takeout is coming soon, ordering from this barbecue restaurant is a bit more expensive than other restaurants, but the ingredients are fresh and the set meal comes with a baking sheet.
Shen You put everything on the old elm table in the yard, pork belly, butter, squid. They looked delicious.
There was a message from Zheng Mingbo on the phone, saying that the review by the Collectors Association had passed and he would tell her about the auction next time.
There are two types of auctions, one is that anyone can participate as long as there is a deposit, and there is an online mode.
Generally, there are no particularly precious antiques, and the authenticity is not guaranteed. If you buy a fake, you will have to consider yourself unlucky.
Otherwise, the antiques industry is in deep water.
Another type of auction requires ‘admission tickets’ and capital verification. A well-known appraiser in the industry guarantees the authenticity, and an invitation letter will be sent to the collectors association.
Shen You replied the message and couldn't wait to plug in the baking pan, brush it with oil and put food on it.
The night breeze blew slowly, the stone lanterns lit up with warm light, and the ancient waterwheel-shaped circulation system in the fish tank sounded the sound of clear water.
It's very comfortable to sit in a yard like this and have a barbecue.
Before the milk tea arrived, Shen You was enjoying her meal when someone came in.
Looking at Li Heng who looked a little tired, she remembered that she had forgotten to close the door in a hurry to eat barbecue.
Li Heng looked at the changed shop with slightly surprised eyes.
In just a few days, the dilapidated yard turned out to be so beautiful!
The repair speed was too fast, but it was very reasonable for it to happen in this store. Shen You looked at the big customer and felt that he had business again.
"Do you want to eat something together?"
She couldn't let her big clients stand there, it was so rude.
Li Heng nodded flattered. Shen You brought him disposable bowls and chopsticks and used barbecue tongs to pick up a piece of pork belly for him.
"It's so delicious!" Li Heng was amazed as soon as he took a bite.
He grew up in the palace. Although he was not liked by his father, he had the reputation of being a prince, and he never neglected his food.
But he has never eaten such delicious barbecue, which is more fragrant than the wild venison roasted in the palace.
"What's in this barbecue? It's different from anything I've ever had before."
There is also this black round plate used for barbecue. There is no fire in sight, and the meat will be cooked when it is placed on it.
If only I could buy this thing back.
"It's marinated with some seasonings. You probably don't have these things there yet."
I don’t know which dynasty Daqi’s recipes are based on, but it’s true that the nobles in the past didn’t eat as well as modern people.
Seeing Li Heng looking at the baking pan intently, Shen You explained,
"You can't use this thing there, just like the lamp without fire in my shop."
Solar energy can be used, but she was so busy that she didn't think of it.
You can buy a batch of antique-looking solar lights, which would have been valuable in ancient times!
"But there is a kind of lamp that you can use, just like the one on my eaves. It needs to absorb the energy of sunlight during the day and can be lit at night. It can last a long time under normal use."
Hearing this, Li Heng hurriedly asked, "Are these lamps also for sale?"
This light is good, there is no risk of water leakage, and it is brighter than a candle.
"It's for sale, but I don't have much here at the moment. It will take three or two days. If you want it, just get a set of rare pens and inks and an inkstone to exchange for it."
Good quality outdoor solar lights are not cheap, and rare inkstones are rare on the market and can be sold for a good price.
"No problem." Li Heng nodded.
This little thing is not a problem for him, there are plenty of them in the warehouse.
"Come here today, there is one more thing"
At this moment, Shen You's cell phone rang, it was milk tea takeaway, "Wait a moment."
Then, under Li Heng's shocked eyes, she opened the door with her mobile phone and came back with the thermal bag.
"Is there someone outside delivering food?"
Li Heng was puzzled. Every time he came to the shop, there were guards guarding the outside. And at this hour, where could anyone in Yunzhou deliver food?
Shen You didn't know how to explain it. When she opened the door, she saw another dimension with bright lights and it was the peak time for takeout.
She thought for a while and said, "You can't see the people who come to bring food."
Li Heng realized quickly. He didn't know why, even though he was sitting in the same courtyard with her, he felt like there was something invisible and insurmountable between them.
He originally thought that Miss Shen was living alone in the alley, but now he realized that this was not the case.
It seems that she is in a different world.
Shen You opened the thermal bag and bought two medium cups in order to make up for the discount. She originally planned to drink them all by herself.
Looking at the big customer opposite, I still reluctantly picked a glass and handed it to him.
"You try this?"
No one can resist milk tea, including the Prince of Daqi. Li Heng felt the coldness oozing out of the cup and praised it as delicious.
