Chapter 438 The Truth



Shuochi Town.

Qin Xu went to the villagers' homes to promote the importance of literacy, but was met with a cold reception.

The literacy class has been running for a week, but only a few people have attended.

When he went to the homes of the villagers to persuade them, they started to scold him: "It doesn't matter whether you can read or not. I work hard all day and have to go to class at night. You must be bored and sick."

This is still considered mild. In serious cases, they will directly let the dog bite people.

Qin Xu looked at his colleague Xiao Yun with a heavy heart, and comforted him with a wry smile: "It's okay, don't worry, let's take it slowly."

Xiaoyun turned his head, his eyes reddening as the young man said, "They don't want to learn from me, but you can't treat people like this. If I had run slower, I would have been mauled to death by the dog!"

"It's not that serious."

Qin Xu patted his shoulder, feeling heavy in his heart. "Let's go back. That's all for today."

Not long after returning to the office, I received a call from Tian Yuzhu.

After talking to Zhao Xiaoman on the other end of the phone, Tian Yuzhu directly called Qin Xu.

She wanted to contact someone in the county town through Qin Xu to tell Jin Ju's cousin Zhang Xiaoling to help pick up the goods today.

Qin Xu said, "I'm on my way to a meeting in the county town. If I can make it in time, I'll pick you up right away."

"That's great, thank you." Tian Yuzhu thanked him sincerely.

I gave him a few more instructions, including that the goods would be delivered to the military district after being received. I told him everything.

Qin Xu said lightly: "Don't worry, I will take care of it."

In the evening, he went to the county town to pick up the goods, and asked Uncle Niu to use his ox cart to deliver them to the military region.

Wang Xiu Di and Zhao Cui went to pick up the goods.

Seeing so much cloth and a paper box with the word sewing machine written on it, the two were both happy and confused.

What does this mean?

It's more of a novelty.

Sewing machines are a fashionable gadget nowadays, but neither of them has ever seen one in person.

I moved the box into Tian Yuzhu's yard, but I didn't know how to start.

"Xiao Qin, do you know how to install it?" Wang Xiu Di thought that this thing must be installed.

Qin Xu had seen sewing machines before. His unit also had the opportunity to inspect them, and he had seen some factories using them.

But he didn't know how to install it. He shook his head apologetically: "Sister-in-law, I really don't know how to do this. Tian Yuzhu meant that you should cut the cloth first and do it by hand. She will talk about the sewing machine when she comes back."

"Oh, okay, I understand!"

"Oh my god, how many pieces can I make with so much cloth?"

As soon as Zhao Cui finished speaking, Liu Xiaohui came in hurriedly.

When she heard that fabrics and sewing machines had arrived at the military dependents' area, she naturally thought it was what they were doing.

I just came back from school.

Soon other military wives came to watch the fun, and there were quite a few people inside and outside.

Everyone was talking at once, expressing envy.

Qin Xu wiped the sweat from his forehead, said something to Wang Xiu Di, and left quickly.

The military wives here are all talking about it.

First, he had never seen a sewing machine, and second, he wondered how big Tian Yuzhu's business was. Could clothes made from so much fabric really be sold?

Anyway, the military family area hasn’t been this lively for a long time.

On the other side, in the provincial capital, Tian Yuzhu, Duan Shan, Shen Laiyun and others were meeting in a Sichuan restaurant.

The first time Shen Laiyun saw Tian Yuzhu, he was surprised.

Because of her age, appearance...

He couldn't help but boast: "I didn't expect Boss Tian to be so young and beautiful..."

Uh, I can’t praise you anymore.

He is a steady and experienced factory director. If he continues to brag, he will seem like a show-off.

Instead, Tian Yuzhu extended her hand gracefully: "Please forgive me, Director Shen. I look like this everywhere on the street. It is my honor to meet you today."

Shen Laiyun shook hands with her and said, "Sit down, sit down."

The people present talked about Duan Shan, the fat boss, and Hu Weiguo who came despite the pain. Jin Ju served him carefully by his side.

Both the fat boss and Hu Weiguo introduced themselves.

Everyone calls Tian Yuzhu: She is my sister.

This relationship made Shen Laiyun a little confused, but he didn't care, his goal was the porcelain vase.

He got straight to the point and said, "I've heard of Mr. Gong's name for a long time, but I didn't expect you to be his apprentice. It's truly fate that we meet. So, why not ask Mr. Tian to take a look at these bottles of mine?"

Shen Laiyun thought that if she was really an expert, the value of his bottle would be known.

If it's just a scam, there's no need to eat this meal.

"OK!"

Tian Yuzhu knew how impatient the treasure hunter was.

Moreover, the current situation is that she needs help from others. If the other party does not feel reassured, then the meal will be in vain.

She took out the white gloves she had prepared in advance and put them on.

When Shen Laiyun entered the room, he was holding a mahogany box, which he had only placed on the table when he shook hands with Tian Yuzhu.

After shaking hands, he held her in his arms again.

At this time, he opened it cautiously.

What catches the eye are two small porcelain bottles with slender mouths and round bodies.

The painting on the bottle is delicate, the glaze is natural and soft, the colors are bright, and the peony flowers give people a lifelike feeling.

What a pity...

Tian Yuzhu picked up the bottle and looked at it carefully in her hands.

Shen Laiyun was so nervous that he didn't dare to breathe, for fear that she would accidentally drop it.

Hu Weiguo and his friends were just watching for fun. They thought the porcelain vase was pretty, but they didn't know whether it was worth money.

"How is it?" Shen Laiyun was a little impatient.

In fact, after the two bottles were passed around, Tian Yuzhu already had an idea in her mind: "This is a Song Dynasty Yao kiln, it is indeed worth collecting, but it's a pity that only one of the two bottles is perfect.

This one had a broken mouth and was later repaired, and the repair technique dates back to at least the Qing Dynasty. What a pity!

"Really? Which one?" Shen Laiyun leaned over to take a look.

When identifying treasures, especially porcelain and jade, you must never pass them over.

Tian Yuzhu put the porcelain bottle back into the box and let him take it himself: "This one."

Shen Laiyun picked it up and asked her, "Where is it repaired?"

"On the left, half of the reddest peony bud was painted on later. The painting is stiff and awkward, and there's no way it can be compared to the original."

“…” Shen Laiyun squinted his eyes and looked carefully.

It seemed like a long time had passed. He didn't say anything, and others didn't know what to say.

Especially Duan Shan, he was very worried.

If Tian Yuzhu messes things up, he will be implicated too!

Hu Weiguo and Jin Ju were worried that they would not be able to wholesale Tian Yuzhu's fabrics.

What everyone saw was that Tian Yuzhu was calm and composed. She had already sat back in her seat and started drinking tea.

After a full ten seconds, Shen Laiyun carefully put the porcelain bottle back into the box.

Then he straightened his body and suddenly clasped his fist towards Tian Yuzhu: "Boss Tian is so young yet he has such great ability. I admire him."

Everyone: “…”

Tian Yuzhu smiled and said, "Director Shen, do you see any difference between the repaired part and the original one?"
