In addition to the previous incident of Wang Dalong falling into the water, Mrs. Ye gave the children at home a long lecture.
I emphasized again and again that you are absolutely not allowed to go to the waterside to play without permission, unless you are accompanied by your parents, no one is allowed to go there.
"Then, I'll take you..."
Ye Xianglei originally wanted to say, "I'll take you up the mountain," but when he remembered what he had done before, he swallowed his words back.
He scratched his head and thought for a long time, then his eyes suddenly lit up and his expression became excited.
"By the way, since I took you to pick walnuts last time, I went there a few more times and picked up a lot of good quality walnuts.
“Although it’s not as good as the one you picked up at the beginning, it’s enough to make a string of eighteen pieces.
"When my mother goes to Beijing to buy New Year's goods before the New Year, I will pester her to go with me. I'm sure we can make a lot of money.
"By then, there will be candied haws, pea yellow, and donkey rolls...
"Whatever you want to eat, your uncle will buy it for you, okay?
"Oh, right, there are also people selling rabbit figurines, dough figurines, and sugar paintings in the capital..."
This time, before Qingtian could say anything, Han Chunling couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Seeing the children all looking at her, Han Chunling raised her hand to smooth her hair and asked Ye Xianglei with a smile: "How many walnuts did you pick up? If you sell them, can you buy so many things?"
Han Chunling was just joking to amuse the children.
But Ye Xianglei felt that she looked down on him, especially in front of Qingtian and so many nephews.
He was so angry that he took out a purse from his pocket and poured all the carefully selected Jing Baleng into his lapel pocket.
"Do you think it's worth the price?" Ye Xianglei glanced up at Han Chunling again, then pulled back his hand that was holding the hem of his shirt, hiding all the walnuts. "Oh, I forgot. You wouldn't understand even if you saw it."
"I don't understand?" Han Chunling laughed even harder. "You're going to buy these Beijing eight-sided lozenges at Xingbaozhai in the county town, right?"
Ye Xianglei didn't expect that Han Chunling could tell that the walnuts in his hand were Beijing eight-angled walnuts with just one glance, and he didn't expect that she even knew where he went to sell walnuts.
"Can you let me see the walnut now?" Han Chunling asked.
Ye Xianglei was still a child after all, and finally let go of his hand.
Han Chunling didn't take it seriously at first, but when she saw the walnuts in Ye Xianglei's lapel pocket, her expression gradually became serious.
Ye Xianglei really didn't brag. Although none of the walnuts he picked out could be considered top-notch, people who knew the business could pick out various imperfections in their appearance.
However, when these walnuts of the same size and similar patterns are put together and there are more than eighteen of them, it cannot be seen this way.
These walnuts can be made into an excellent quality eighteen-bead bracelet by simply adding a good Buddha head.
People who like to play with walnuts know that it is easy to find a single top-quality walnut, but the difficult part is to find a pair.
What is even more difficult than matching them is putting them together to form a bracelet.
Han Chunling suddenly had the urge to pay for them all immediately.
But she still managed to hold on.
I came here today to build relationships with the Ye family, not to do business.
Thinking of this, Han Chunling finally calmed down and asked with a smile, "You've been to Xingbaozhai in the county town to sell walnuts so many times, don't you know who I am?"
Although Han Chunling accurately said the name of Xingbaozhai, Ye Xianglei was only surprised for a moment.
After all, there is only one antique shop like this in the entire county, so you can guess what it is.
But if you ask him who Han Chunling is, he really doesn't know.
When Ye Xianglei used to sell walnuts, he either had to wait for his brother to come home and help him sell them, or he could only wait until the New Year when his parents went to the city to buy New Year's goods and go with them.
So he only knew the fat shopkeeper Han and the skinny waiter Xiao Si'er in Xingbaozhai, and had no idea what his relationship with Han Chunling was.
Han Chunling said, "My last name is Chen, Xingbaozhai is my shop, and Manager Han is my brother from my mother's family. Do you understand now?"
"Ah——" Ye Xianglei was dumbfounded. Thinking of how he had said before that others didn't understand, his face immediately turned red.
Han Chunling said: "Although I don't go to the shop very often, I have heard about it from my brother.
“Speaking of which, I have to thank you because you have been selling walnuts here for the past two years and have helped attract many customers from Beijing who like Jingbaleng to our store.
"Every autumn they come all the way from Beijing to pick walnuts, which brings some business to our store!"
The yield of the Beijing Baleng variety of hickory nuts is not good, and only a few trees can be found in the mountains around Beijing.
It is now impossible to trace how it arose.
But perhaps because it only grows around the capital, can only grow wild and cannot be cultivated, and its yield is very low, it has gradually become sought after by men of all ages in Beijing who love cultural relics.
The preferences of the capital have always guided the trends across the country.
As long as the nobles and high-ranking officials in the capital like it, someone will find ways to spend a fortune to buy it just to please the superiors.
Therefore, if you have connections, you can really sell a good-quality Beijing octagonal bracelet for a high price.
In recent years, because Ye Xianglei has been picking up Beijing Balang and selling them to Xingbaozhai, it has now quietly occupied a place among people who like Beijing Balang.
Han Chunling just learned from her brother a few days ago that someone in Beijing is spending a lot of money just to buy a good quality Beijing eight-sided bracelet!
She had originally only thought that if some of the Beijing Baleng harvested this year could be selected, she might be able to sell it for more money than in previous years.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
