Chapter 24 Mutton Skewers
My mother told me that it cost ten taels when I bought it, but after so many years, the shop would definitely not be willing to charge the original price, so Luo Ziya thought she could sell it for five taels.
But the pawn shops I've been to can only ask for a price of one tael at most. The clerk said that this is the rule for collecting things in pawn shops, and it's inappropriate to pawn them.
Only here, the shopkeeper was polite and not arrogant at all, and he was willing to pay such a high price for her hairpin.
Thinking of this, Luo Ziya looked at Shen You gratefully,
"Thank you, shopkeeper. When I return to my grandfather's house, I will return the remaining silver to you!"
Shen You reminded: "You may not be able to come into this shop next time, so think about it. The things collected in my shop cannot be redeemed."
Hearing this, Luo Ziya was startled, not understanding what it meant that he might not be able to come in next time.
She looked at the hairpin in her hand with a look of reluctance, and finally put it on the tray and nodded solemnly.
This is not a pawn shop, so it should not be redeemed.
Presumably, my mother wouldn't blame her. The widower's previous wife was beaten to death. If she didn't run away, she would die too.
Her maternal grandfather was a doctor and owned a drug store. He often held free clinics in the local area and was quite prestigious. She wanted to study medicine and she could always survive there.
Shen You cashed out ten taels of silver from the fifty taels in the cashier system.
They are all in Daqi currency, so there are no handling fees.
A silver ingot was too conspicuous to hold, so she deliberately changed it to scattered silver and gave it to the other party.
Luo Ziya walked out of the shop with the money. When she looked back, she couldn't find the door and the particularly beautiful shop.
She quickly opened the purse and made sure the money was still there.
It turned out that this was what the girl said. Luo Ziya stood on the street and it took a long time to recover.
Have you met an immortal?
——
Shen You got up at 11 o'clock in the morning, and half of the water purification tablets she ordered were delivered. The rest were told that they would arrive around 7 p.m.
She paid half of the price immediately after receiving the goods, and now the items are piled in the garage.
Since the garage was completed, it has been so convenient to receive goods.
There is no need to go through the gate to move into the shop and worry about the things inside being hit. You can directly open the rolling shutter door of the side garage to unload the goods quickly.
The shop renovation is also in the final stages and is almost done, except for the installation of some solid wood shelves and the placement of decorations.
For complex furniture such as beds, she always goes to vendors that include installation. For simpler furniture, to save money, she goes to the source manufacturer, which definitely does not include installation.
It's not cheap to find someone to do it. It's enough for a meal, so Shen You went out and bought a screwdriver and did it by himself in front of the video.
She finished it all in one afternoon, put in the fake antiques and real handicrafts she found online, and let’s live it together!
Li Heng and Zhong Jing arrived to pay the final payment.
Then there is a box of good things, small leaf red sandalwood and agarwood, including porcelain fired from the official kiln, jade hostas and jade carvings.
There was another thing that she couldn't walk around when she saw something in the museum.
The Tang Dynasty silver hollow incense ball can be hung around the waist. No matter how you turn it, the contents will not fall out. The exquisite patterns create fragrance step by step. Who wouldn’t want it after seeing it?
The inkstone Li Heng brought was also made of Hetian jade. Three-dimensional branch patterns were carved on the whole piece of jade, and the brushes were matching. Together, they could cost over a million.
And the two solar lights she bought cost only more than 300 yuan.
There are also Zhong Jing’s paintings, which are still at the level of masters even in modern times, with more than 100,000 paintings hanging in exhibitions.
"Half of the water purification tablets you requested have not arrived yet. They should be here soon." Shen You looked at the time and said, "Why don't you come back later? I will prepare some food for you to take back."
"Is this the barbecue we had last time?" Li Heng's eyes lit up a little.
"It's different from last time. It's baked." Shen You said with a smile.
Barbecue takeout is suitable for sitting and eating slowly. There is no electricity in Daqi, so it is troublesome to take it out after baking.
She plans to go to a barbecue restaurant near her home.
"How much money does food cost?" Li Heng asked. After all, he is the prince of Daqi, and he cannot take advantage of other girls for free.
Shen You waved her hand generously, "No, the things you brought are enough for several meals."
With such a huge price difference, there is no point in asking big customers to pay for dinner.
"The gold ingots I brought last time are enough to buy so many water purification tablets?" Li Heng asked again.
Shen You nodded, "That's enough."
After Li Heng and the two went out with the solar lamp, not long after, another batch of water purification tablets arrived.
Shen You is now very efficient at doing the work of receiving and counting goods. After everything is done and the money is settled, she takes her mobile phone and goes straight to the barbecue restaurant.
In fact, she wanted to eat the kebabs from this restaurant, so she also arranged them for customers.
"Boss, we want 40 skewers each of mutton skewers and beef skewers."
Shen You stood in front of the freezer and took some other skewers and put them in the basket, as well as a dozen grilled oysters and two large portions of fried rice noodles.
She came early, it was just opening, so there was no need to wait in line.
There aren't many milk tea shops nearby, so it's cheaper to order takeout. I estimated the time I'd have to go home, so I ordered in advance so I could pick up the takeout when I got home.
When packing, Shen You specifically asked the boss to divide the food into several portions. The food she ate should be normally spicy and the rest should be slightly spicy.
She found a few biodegradable paper bags from home that she had left behind when ordering food, packed them separately, and prepared the food for big customers.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Li Heng and the others arrived.
Pass the other half of the water purification tablets over and give them two paper bags.
"This is for you and Liu Zheng." Shen You said to Zhong Jing.
“Thank you, Shopkeeper Shen!”
Zhong Jing looked at the plastic bag in the paper bag. The tightness of the bag could not hide the strong smell of spices.
He finally understood that His Highness, who had never shown any preference for food, had been obsessed with milk tea since he returned that day.
Both he and Liu Zheng thought the food cooked by the cook tasted good, but His Highness said it was different.
Just smelling it makes me hungry. The food served here by Shopkeeper Shen is really different!
"By the way, my shop can also be entered from your capital city. It is located in Qingshi Lane below Hongguang Temple outside the north gate. It opens every three days."
The business value is enough to open another entrance to [Daqi].
Shen You did not hesitate to choose the capital. She was very interested in the real life of the ancients, although it was not a dynasty that existed in modern history.
And big customers will definitely not stay in Yunzhou. They will choose to stay in Beijing, where they will have more opportunities to make money.
"That's very good." Li Heng nodded with a smile.
He was still thinking that he might not have so many opportunities to come to the shop in the future, but he didn't expect that he would be able to do so in the capital.
In this case, it will be much easier to see Shopkeeper Shen in the future.
After the two customers left, Shen You closed the shop and went upstairs to eat skewers on the desk.
By the way, I bought the tools to repair the hairpin online.
Li Heng and Zhong Jing, who had left the alley, rushed to the government office in a carriage. Smelling the fragrance wafting from the bags on the way, they felt that the carriage was driving extremely slowly today.
I want to go back soon so I can try these delicacies.
It looks like they are all skewered on bamboo sticks, but it is really unsightly to eat them on a carriage.
It can only be said that it is ancient times. In modern times, let alone eating in the car, it is no problem to wear slippers and pants and sit on the side of the road to eat.
The carriage finally arrived, and the guard driving the carriage was full of doubts. His Highness and Mr. Zhong were leaving in such a hurry? Did something big happen and we need to go back to discuss it?
