Chapter 18 Daddy is Mighty
Mo Ruhai did not respond to Mo Yi, but stared at Wang Qing with a serious face.
Wang Qing didn't dare to look up. He put the box away carefully and stood there properly.
"You go down first! Don't forget what I just said!"
Wang Qing quickly responded and slipped away.
Mo Ruhai turned to face his daughter and immediately put on a very gentle smile: "Yi Yi, there are so many good things over there! Many of the materials we bought with silver are just thrown away like garbage there. Not only are they sold in piles, but they are also buy one get one free! It's true... Dad bought so much that he didn't even spend all the silver he brought."
"Dad, that's great! If this road is open, we won't have to worry about anything in the future."
Mo Ruhai nodded and shook his head: "The journey is indeed long. If it weren't for official business, it wouldn't be easy to make this trip! The fare is too expensive. If it's just for this worthless thing, it's not worth it."
Daddy is so calculating! Mo Yi nodded in appreciation.
Mo Ruhai was immersed in this gaze. "But I still listened to you. I made good friends in the local area and left my address. When needed, I will send money and messages. When someone or the escort agency goes to Beijing, they will send someone to bring it!"
"Daddy, you are so thoughtful! Let me take a look first..."
"There's enough here for my daughter and I to keep busy. If we can sell them all... we'll make a fortune!"
The box was opened, and inside were bags of materials. He opened it casually, and the dazzling sight made Mo Yi unable to concentrate. He opened another bag... It was indeed much better than expected!
"There are still some refined materials and finished products that Dad left in the front study. Keep them separately for safety. Wait a few days and no one will notice. Dad will take you to see them..."
He also winked at his daughter.
Mo Yi nodded and said admiringly: "Dad, you are becoming more and more experienced!"
Mo Ruhai was very pleased to be recognized by his clever daughter. He picked up a small bag and said, "Look! This bag was picked up by Daddy. It didn't cost any money!"
Mo Yi took it and looked at it carefully for a long time. He couldn't believe it: "The ones before were not as good as these, but we bought them with money! It's hard to imagine that there are treasures everywhere! Just by messing with these, we can get rich!"
Mo Ruhai was even more proud: "These are nothing, look at what this is?"
He took out two books from his arms: "I spent a lot of effort to copy these two books. Master Chen and his friends went to play along the lake for several days, and Dad didn't go. He was busy with this!"
He let out a sigh.
Mo Yi took it and said, "Jade Book?!" There are pictures and analysis, and the characteristics of each period are analyzed in detail.
"Dad! This is good stuff." Mo Yi was as excited as Mo Ruhai expected.
"The pictures in the original book are better than this one, but unfortunately time is tight and things are incomplete. So, Dad will use this one..." He took out another book.
"There are detailed annotations. Please read it carefully!"
Although Mo Yi is intelligent and willing to work hard, his knowledge is too limited after all.
She has no access to the truly good things.
The shopkeepers and clerks in those high-end jade shops all had sharp eyes. As soon as they saw the father and daughter... they looked as if they couldn't afford it! Who would be happy with them?
After talking for a long time and finally meeting someone with a good heart, they will give them some fine products and put them on a tray, but if you want to touch them and take a closer look... the opportunities are too rare!
Especially books like this, which are simply not available in ordinary bookstores.
The fact that they were able to run this small business was due to the good luck of the father and daughter, who had made the right initial decision. In addition, Mo Yi was dedicated and Mo Ruhai was able to put aside his pride.
Otherwise, how can they make money if they have no capital, no channels, no skills, and no customers?
Actually... I'm not just happy about making money, looking at my father who is in high spirits.
The whole person is much brighter and more resolute than before.
"Dad, your copying skills are getting better and better. Your daughter will watch carefully. Then, combine it with the fashion style... and with so many materials, you will definitely be able to create our own characteristics! But don't be impatient, we father and daughter need to make a fortune slowly and steadily!"
Mo Ruhai laughed: "...That's great. It's worth Daddy's effort! You don't know, Daddy is out all day long, Mr. Chen even asked me what I was doing..."
Mo Yi asked quietly: "Dad, you should bring it to the daughter's room now, aren't you afraid that mother will see it?"
"Hmph..." Mo Ruhai snorted coldly. Although he didn't make much money, he gained confidence.
"If you know, you know! Daddy spent more than a hundred taels of silver this time to buy gifts for each of you. I wonder if your mother has figured it out after all this time?! Daddy made money, but didn't he spend it on you? If she wants to control even this, Daddy is not afraid of falling out with her!"
Mo Yi gave a thumbs up, "Daddy is awesome!"
"This was not easy for my father and I to achieve!" Thinking back on it now, I still feel very emotional.
That was more than two years ago, when he went out with his chief officer and encountered a flood and mudslide.
Chief, I have the scroll...
He struggled hard to pull it back, but broke his leg.
The country doctor was not good enough, and the return journey was bumpy, which was a real pain.
When he arrived in the capital, his bones were dislocated and had not grown properly, and were about to rot.
Someone recommended a doctor, but the leg needed to be reattached. The doctor was not in the capital, and it would take more than half a year to treat him. He was far from home, the treatment would take a long time, and he would be sentenced to death, so he hesitated.
But his wife was very dissatisfied because he was injured and lost the job that Brother-in-law Qin had found for her.
Constantly complaining: "Why are you so careless?"
"With so many guards and followers, why did you choose to show off your prowess?"
"If your legs become lame, your future will be completely ruined."
These words put him in a dilemma both internally and externally.
Finally I made up my mind: go find a wild doctor to treat my leg!
It was this daughter... He looked at Mo Yi, his heart full of love and pity. He felt sorry for her and had to go with her.
She was only twelve years old, but she washed clothes, cooked, boiled medicine, and told jokes to relieve boredom.
Especially after the leg was broken again and reconnected, someone needed to watch it all day and all night, just for fear that it would be dislocated while sleeping.
Even though there were servants, my daughter was still worried and kept looking after her all the time. The little girl must be tired... Otherwise, why would I love her so much?
But it was also at this time that the father and daughter found a way to make money.
It turns out that the town where they get their legs treated is also famous for its jade carving skills.
Mo Yi likes to go shopping, to the stalls, shops, material yards, and craftsmen. He can spend the whole day just looking at them.
The clean and pretty little girl was liked by the masters and their servants. Seeing that she was curious, they would answer every question.
This girl was extremely talented, and it didn't take long for her to figure out everything.
Once you get your hands on those materials, you will have a general idea of what they are all about, and you can also clearly distinguish the various styles of carving techniques.
What was even more coincidental was that he met Li Qi, a young man with a disabled leg who worked as a laborer.
His parents died early, and he was very talented in jade carving. His brother and sister-in-law refused to divide the family property, so they let him do the jobs, but did not give him the money he earned, and only gave him one meal a day.
Beating, scolding and humiliation were common. In fact, they wanted to wear him out so that there would be no need to divide the family. He dragged his crippled legs, had nowhere to go, and was helpless.
My daughter particularly likes Li Qidiao’s little gadgets, because she can’t afford the big and heavy ones.
After seeing so much, this girl started to make up her mind...
