Chapter 103 Blame
On weekdays, she not only bought some favorite small items for herself, but also sold some rare goods stored in her home to passing merchants and travelers, such as a few glass beads and two apple models made of transparent and emerald green glass.
Their exquisite appearance alone is enough to attract people's attention, especially the imitation fruit with translucent green and attractive color, which is even more irresistible; the other transparent one uses complex and delicate diamond-shaped cutting technology, making its surface look extremely dazzling and amazing.
After deducting various expenses in recent times, without having to use her own capital (a total of 40 taels), Zhao Chunhua's savings actually increased to 106 taels of silver.
Even she herself was quite surprised and couldn't believe that she could get such a rich reward.
After all, in her eyes, these glass beads are essentially the same as large glass, but they are made more exquisitely.
In fact, colored glaze is also a kind of glass, but its colors are brighter and more diverse, and it looks more attractive. The various works made from it have a wide range of uses and can be used for decoration as well as for daily use.
But she actually earned one hundred taels of silver from these two apples, a number that really surprised her.
I originally thought that I could only sell it for about ten taels of silver at most, but I didn't expect that the final result would far exceed my expectations.
Fortunately, I went out to put on makeup that day and did not deal with the vendors in person.
This saves time and effort and avoids unnecessary trouble.
If you do the transaction face to face, it might bring you a lot of unnecessary trouble.
She made some inquiries beforehand to understand the character of the traveling merchant, and only chose him as the trading partner after she felt that he was reliable.
A lot of thought went into this process in order to find a trustworthy partner.
Put the things directly in the box, and find a
A trustworthy person brought a message to the other party to let him know about this.
To be on the safe side, the person delivering the message did not know the specific situation. He only knew that there was something that needed to be handed over to the other party, and he did not even know what was inside.
After the merchant took the goods away, he put the corresponding silver back.
Except Zhao Chunhua herself and the businessman, no one else knew the exact amount of the money.
This type of transaction can be said to be very confidential and cautious.
Although this method involves great risks, Zhao Chunhua is willing to take the risk.
For her, sometimes there is only one opportunity, and if you miss it, you may never get it again, so you must seize every opportunity that can allow you to gain more wealth.
After all, in novels, those special places are always full of mystery and have extraordinary functions.
For example, not only can you cultivate the land there, but there is also a magical spring. This spring water can not only help people cleanse their bodies, but also strengthen their physical fitness. It is simply a treasure land.
In addition to being able to automatically clean up all kinds of debris and showing a touch of modern characteristics, most of the time this space is more like a portable safe that can store various objects safely and reliably.
Another advantage of calling it a "safe" is that it is not likely to attract attention or arouse suspicion.
Even if someone notices that you put something away, you can easily say that you put it in an ordinary warehouse for safekeeping, instead of directly revealing that it is "stored in a mysterious space". This greatly reduces the risk of others discovering that the place has special functions.
When the two passed by an inconspicuous but warm teahouse, Zhao Chunhua's pace suddenly slowed down and then stopped.
Before, Zhao Yimo had repeatedly told her not to eat out, on the grounds that they had already carefully prepared a delicious breakfast at home for the family to share.
Seeing his aunt suddenly stop in her tracks, Zhao Yimo immediately felt a little anxious.
"Auntie...what's wrong with you?"
He asked tentatively, trying to understand why he stopped here.
In response, Zhao Chunhua replied, "Don't worry, kid. I know our family has already prepared delicious meals for you to enjoy when you get home. I won't eat anything that will cause trouble to my stomach. But, you see, the fresh fruits on the stall over there are pretty good. How about we buy some and take them back?"
After saying this, she pointed to a small fruit stall with neatly arranged fruits and a wide variety of fruits, many of which were seasonal delicacies that were suitable for picking and eating right now.
It is midsummer, and in such hot weather, watermelon has become one of the most popular fruits for cooling off.
Because it can quickly eliminate heat from the body and bring a cool and refreshing feeling, people often affectionately call it "cold melon".
There are also stalls selling grapes on the path. Various kinds of grapes are neatly arranged, crystal clear, making people salivate at the sight.
Zhao Chunhua picked a few bunches of grapes from the many stalls. Each bunch had full grapes and bright colors, and looked very tempting.
The grapes of this season are called "Sappan"; it is said that this name comes from the fact that they look like small balls and are green and jade-like in color.
Another popular fruit is called "naiguo", which is not only round and cute in appearance, but also tastes fragrant and sweet, so it is given such a name.
Many people like to eat it with grapes for an even better flavor.
Finally, the melons and grapes were carefully placed into a backpack specially made for Xiao Shitou, which was a small backpack that was very delicately hand-woven.
When the basket was filled with all kinds of fruits, Zhao Chunhua personally carried Xiao Shitou for a distance, worried that the child would be too tired.
She knew that her nephew was still young and didn't want him to bear too much weight alone, after all, his body was still in the development stage.
This time, when the three of them went out, they just bought a piece of freshly baked scone and shared it with everyone to taste.
The biggest beneficiary among them was Zhao Yimo, because he got the largest half of the pie.
There is really no way to resist that fragrance. The freshly-out-of-the-oven sesame cakes exude an enticing aroma. If you don’t try them while they’re hot, you’d feel guilty about your hungry stomach.
When the three of them finally returned to the Zhao family, Zhao Yimo was slightly reprimanded by the elders in the family because of the basket of fresh fruits he brought back.
In order to avoid embarrassing the child and avoid arguments, the clever Zhao Chunhua quickly explained: "I am his aunt/cousin. Do I have to listen to what a junior says?"
This statement left the people in charge with no reason to refute.
