Chapter 129: Stingy
At Pu Qiongzhi's signal, Ding Momo stepped forward and pulled open the curtain.
Everyone saw a huge Arhat bed underground.
The difference is that this bed is extra spacious and made of a whole piece of jade!
Even people who don't know much about jade would be amazed to see a bed made from such a large piece of jade.
How much silver would it cost to get such a big piece of jade?
Not only that, but what makes people even more curious is what kind of skilled craftsman could carve such a masterpiece...
This is a piece of natural jade that Pu Qiongzhi accidentally encountered when she was young and was training outside with Pu Rongda.
At that time, Pu Qiongzhi felt that such a piece of jade was extremely rare and wanted it very much.
At that time, she bought it back with all her savings.
She remembered clearly that her father did not object to this at the time.
But afterward, he told her, "We have money so that when we want something, we can satisfy ourselves."
“But some things, once you have them, become boring.”
"People should cherish what they have now, and when spending money, they must carefully consider their real needs. Often, inner desires can deceive us."
"More importantly, as a businessman, you shouldn't put all your capital into one place."
"Especially, the value of this jade may not increase over time. By then, even if you don't want it anymore, it will be difficult to sell it!"
Pu Qiongzhi thought of this and chuckled softly with her head down.
She is really getting older and has started to reminisce about the past frequently.
She also saw the materials for this Luohan bed in her own warehouse when she returned to Lin'an.
When I arrived in Beijing, I felt that this piece of jade was difficult to transport.
Besides, she was more accustomed to rosewood for beds.
Pu Qiongzhi didn't expect that what her father said was right!
So they asked Lu Pu and Ke Cao, who had judged Ding and others last time, to carve out the bed.
A few days ago, Nangong Xue returned to Beijing and brought back the news that the bed had been carved.
Pu Qiongzhi thought it was a good opportunity to use it as a prize.
Every day, the polo field has to come up with something good as the prize for the day's race.
Since it is a big day, the auspiciousness cannot be inferior.
When everyone present saw this crystal clear jade bed, they all breathed heavily and became extremely excited.
It would be such an honor if I could win a bed like this.
Just think about it, if it’s transported all the way from here to your home, the scenery will be so beautiful!
Even if you don’t want to use it at home, it’s still good to give it to others!
Pu Qiongzhi had thought about making a contribution.
However, she had just offered a good plan to protect the interests of scholars. Scholars were still quite averse to vulgar things, so she didn't want them to think that she was doing things by such means.
From a business perspective, it would be better to use it to build momentum for the polo field.
With such a good start, the scene was indeed much more lively!
Pu Qiongzhi sat high in the stands.
She looked at it herself and naturally chose the best position.
However, this corner can focus on the training ground where she had arranged in advance.
"Why are you here?" Gongsun Ying and Ding Momo walked for an unknown amount of time before they reached her.
Pu Qiongzhi was hiding under an umbrella tent, leisurely eating hot soup, with someone playing music beside her.
As the warm fire lit up, the incense spread, making you feel like you were in a sea of flowers in spring.
"Isn't it very leisurely here?" she replied lazily.
Seeing her like this, Gongsun Ying and Ding Momo couldn't help but grit their teeth.
"You're really good at hiding! We're both so busy!"
Pu Qiongzhi stretched her wrists and stood up. "What are you busy with?"
"My Pu family's servants are here, so there's no need for the boss to intervene." Pu Qiongzhi waved his hand.
Gongsun Ying and Ding Momo followed the direction she pointed and saw that Pu's waiter could take care of the entire group of guests by himself.
Even the temporary servants can be arranged and dispatched by them in an orderly manner.
"You, the Pu family, are really good at training people! All of them are capable of being shopkeepers!" Gongsun Ying couldn't help but sigh.
She had worked in business before, so she naturally understood how difficult it was to train a talent!
Pu Qiongzhi gathered her cloak and said, "It's very cold. If it were warmer, there would be more guests!"
"I'm already doing pretty well here. The better seats should be reserved for our guests! Otherwise, how can we make money?"
“…” Ding Momo and Gongsun Ying were finally enlightened.
"You are so rich, yet so stingy?!" Ding Momo stared in amazement.
Pu Qiongzhi, however, was used to it. "No, this is making the best use of things. If not, how could I have saved enough money to start a business?"
"Isn't it nice here too?" She smiled and poured a cup of hot milk for each of them.
Ding Momo immediately reached out and took it, saying without hesitation, "Thank you."
"I admire you so much, you are indeed worthy of being my name!" Gongsun Ying lowered his head and smiled.
Pu Qiongzhi glanced at the horse farm next to her.
"What? It looks like you have something good planned?" Gongsun Ying also leaned over.
Ding Momo gulped down her milk and started to eat the snacks beside her. "Wow! Is this a new product from Zhenxiangxuan? I heard that Zhenxiangxuan changed its owner, and the snacks there are much better! These past few days, my aunt sent people to buy it every day, but they couldn't find any! It's mainly because my grandmother wanted to eat it, but she couldn't bear to waste people's money and effort..."
"Oh? If the princess and the queen mother want to eat it, just tell me." Pu Qiongzhi naturally offered it upon hearing it.
Ding Momo choked, tapped her chest and said, "Are you the new owner of Zhenxiangxuan?"
"Not really." Pu Qiongzhi shook her head.
Ding Momo finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Fortunately. I was wondering, how could all those successful shops belong to your Pu family?"
"What's the point of telling you? Do you have a solution?"
Pu Qiongzhi smiled and said modestly, "That's run by my brother Yu. Fourth Uncle has been trying to improve these dim sum there recently, and I think there have been some results!"
"It really is run by your family!" Ding Momo stood up suddenly, staring at Pu Qiongzhi with burning eyes.
Pu Qiongzhi gestured for her to calm down, "I'll have them pack some for you tomorrow and send it to the Jinnan Prince's Mansion."
"That's great!" Ding Momo became excited, but also a little embarrassed.
She is now eating and taking at the same time...
"All of this is recorded in the account, along with my clothes and jewelry! When the polo field gets dividends someday, I'll return them all to you!"
Pu Qiongzhi found it amusing to hear her say this, "There's no need to make such a clear distinction."
"That won't do! Let's keep things separate!" Ding Momo insisted.
Pu Qiongzhi raised her eyebrows. "Since the princess insists, I'll do as you say!"
"Is that the eldest son of Prince Jingkang?" Gongsun Ying recognized the identity of Du Linkuan who was following Nangong Jiayu at a glance.
She watched for a while, feeling somewhat disgusted. "This child's horsemanship has nothing to do with Duke Jing Kang."
"Your nephew is a pretty good rider! He didn't lose face for old Marquis Gongning!"
