Chapter 77 Xishi Jug

"I heard that Xi Shi was a stunning beauty, and this teapot was made in her image."

Zhang Jinlan's words almost made Jiang Fubao laugh out loud.

In fact, she was too embarrassed to tell you the origin of the Xishi pot.

Xishiju, also known as Xishiru.

The shape resembles a woman's **.

Full and upright.

Touch the teapot and play with it.

All kinds of things come to mind.

It is the favorite of men who love sexual fantasies.

It was really obscene, and she only understood the truth after she bought it.

Unfortunately, I didn't have much money in my pocket, so I couldn't bear to smash the things even if I wanted to. I also didn't have time to leisurely drink tea, so I just left it there idle.

It can be considered a blessing in disguise.

Preserve the 'purity' of the tea set.

The price difference between new and second-hand is huge.

In the morning, when grandma saw the tea set, Jiang Fubao pretended to repeat the words of the old man with white beard.

Tell it to grandma.

Otherwise, if the teahouse owner asked Ah Nai San, she wouldn't know the answer.

Wouldn't that arouse suspicion?

"Xi Shi? I've never heard of her. She might be from your northern region. I really want to see her, but she must be dead. What a pity. If that's the case, then isn't this vase the only one in the world? I'll buy it! You name the price."

The teahouse owner gently put down the teapot.

The words became much more respectful.

"I don't know the price either, it's a family inheritance, you name the price, I'll sell it to you if it's suitable."

Zhang Jinlan is not stupid either.

She doesn't even understand the market. If she quotes a low price, wouldn't she be at a huge loss?

"Your tea set is very well preserved. I can't even tell it was made many years ago. It looks just like new. It also comes with four cups. The tray is optional. So, I'll take the whole set. How about sixty taels?"

The teahouse owner thought for a moment before speaking slowly.

His eyes flickered as he named the price.

"How much? Sixty taels?"

Zhang Jinlan's eyes widened instantly.

I couldn't close my mouth.

She was so frightened that she froze.

Unfortunately, the teahouse owner misunderstood her intention and thought she thought it was too little, so he added, "Don't be angry, how about I add another ten taels?"

Only then did Zhang Jinlan come to her senses.

She immediately shook her head.

"No, no, that's too low. Ninety taels, please."

Even the dumbest person should know at this point that the price can still be raised.

She retracted the shock in her eyes.

He wrinkled his eyebrows in mock dissatisfaction.

"Too high. My teahouse's business has been declining in recent years. If the price of tea sets is too high, I'm afraid I can't afford it. So, let's both compromise and offer eighty taels. How about that?"

The teahouse owner also reacted.

There are no stupid people in business.

He started to bargain.

"No, no, eighty is too low. This is our family heirloom. It must be ninety taels."

Zhang Jinlan continued to shake her head.

After saying this, he picked up the tea set, prepared to put it into the backpack, and made a gesture to leave.

The shopkeeper was so frightened that he quickly stood up and stopped her.

"Okay, let's just go for eighty-five taels. I can't afford any higher. If you're willing to buy it for eighty-five taels, I'll go back to my room and get the silver. If you're not willing to sell it, I'll have to send you out."

This is his bottom price.

He didn't lie when he said that just now.

A teahouse opened on the street in early summer last year. I heard that the owner came from Jiangnan. Although the teahouse only has two floors, there are beautiful girls dancing in the middle of the lobby on the first floor every day.

Even in the cold winter, she wears thin gauze, which arouses people's imagination.

It attracted many people to drink tea.

It took away a lot of his teahouse business.

As of the year before last, his teahouse was always packed.

Unlike now, most of the tables are empty.

Eighty-five taels was already most of his spare money.

After buying the tea sets, he will be a lot tighter financially.

"Hey, we are destined to meet. Actually, I was closer to the other one, but I just wanted to come to your teahouse. It seems that God led me here. Well, let's just pay 85 taels."

Zhang Jinlan is very good at lying. She can tell lies fluently.

"Okay, okay, I'll go get the silver right away. Thank you very much."

The teahouse owner was very happy.

He trotted back to the house and soon took out two purses.

It's bulging inside.

Fall on the stone table.

There were eight silver ingots and a few pieces of silver.

"Please count it. It's exactly eighty-five taels." The teahouse owner said to Zhang Jinlan with a smile.

"Okay, you can take this tea set."

Zhang Jinlan picked up the silver and her hands were shaking with excitement.

Her voice was slightly trembling.

But the teahouse owner, who was equally excited, didn't hear a thing.

He picked up the tea set and carefully took it back to the house.

Until an hour later.

Jiang Fubao was already sitting on the ox cart and was about to reach home.

Because I had too much money on me.

Grandma didn't dare to come back.

After leaving the teahouse, she rented a bullock cart directly.

I even didn't dare to go out on the street for fear that my money would be stolen.

Even when she was sitting on a ox cart, she looked around, fearing that a group of bandits would suddenly rush down from the mountain beside the road.

It's not bad.

Jiang Fubao is the daughter of destiny.

Several people returned home safely.

Pay the fare.

Zhang Jinlan quickly returned to the room holding the money bag.

"Father, what happened to mother? She came in without saying a word, and she didn't answer when I asked her. She went straight into the house. Is she sleepy? By the way, how did you come back in a bullock cart? Did you sell the tea sets? How much silver did you get?"

Sun Pingmei, who was sitting in the yard picking vegetables, asked curiously.

"Pfft!"

Jiang Eryong turned around, stuck his head out and looked outside.

There was no one passing by, and no one hiding outside the wall to eavesdrop.

He closed the door and said, "I sold it for eighty-five taels! We are going to be rich!"

"What? Eighty-five taels? Oh my God, you are really blind, oh my God!"

Sun Pingmei was even more excited than Zhang Jinlan.

She made a "pop" sound.

Kneeled on the ground.

Bow to God.

Tears burst out instantly.

So exciting.

"Alright, alright, why are you crying? This is a happy event, don't cry away the blessing."

Jiang Eryong quickly helped her up.

Cursed softly.

"Yes, you can't cry. Look, why should I cry? Mother, let me see the silver. I have never seen so much money before. Sister-in-law, Yan Zi, let's go together."

Sun Pingmei pinched her sleeves, wiped away her tears, smiled awkwardly, and took her sister-in-law to her parents-in-law's room.

Jiang Fubao saw it all.

She seems to be the calmest person in the family.

After all, I have only been wearing it for a short time.

She didn't understand how hard it was to make money.

Except for the first bowl of brown rice porridge she ate on the day she came here, which was hard to swallow, she had never suffered any hardship.

In the house.

Zhang Jinlan was surrounded by her family.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Yin Zi.

"Mom, how are we going to spend so much money?" Sun Pingmei swallowed and asked in a low voice.

"I'll spend a lot of money, but I'll save it for my children to get married, buy some land, grow more food, and send them to school. But the tuition is too expensive, so I can't send them all to school. I thought about it for a long time and decided to support one child first."
