Chapter 196 I saved him back then
The two young men looked at Master Gu.
"This can only be regarded as a gift. I'll give you thirty taels. Please take it." Master Gu did not take such a small piece of stone seriously.
Thirty taels, so little.
Fu Zhaoning thought for a moment and asked, "Then I'll give you 40 taels. Can you sell this one to me separately?"
Everyone was stunned.
Mr. Gu was also stunned for a moment, and then reminded her, "Miss Fu, this stone is too small. Even if jade can be found inside, judging from the appearance of the black skin, the quality of the jade will not be very good. It is likely that it can only be carved into a jade pendant. A very ordinary jade pendant, including the carving, can probably be bought for five taels."
So he offered thirty taels just for the sake of the other big stones, and he took them for the sake of it.
Thirty taels is already expensive, and Fu Zhaoning wants to pay thirty-eight taels?
Cutting stone is really quite laborious. She would have to pay a lot of money to cut the stone, and then she would have to pay for the labor of someone carving it. The total cost was estimated to be fifty taels.
If it is carved out, it will only be a jade pendant worth five taels, which would be a real loss.
Fu Zhaoning smiled and said, "It's okay. I just think this stone suits my taste."
She can still afford thirty-eight taels now.
The young man immediately picked up the small stone and placed it in front of Fu Zhaoning.
"Then I'll sell it to you. Thirty-eight taels is thirty-eight taels."
Neither of them could remember when they brought this little stone together.
It is very likely that there was a gap next to the other pieces, and when he saw this small piece, he stuffed it in.
Those big pieces were only sold for five hundred taels, and now such a small piece can be worth thirty-eight taels, they were a little surprised.
Fu Zhaoning took the silver and handed it over.
The stone was handed to Eleven. "Hold it for me first."
Eleven took the stone.
It was only half the size of his fist, and the black surface looked a bit sandy. It was not good-looking or special, and no one would care if it was thrown on the street.
That’s only thirty-eight taels?
Fang Dafu didn't expect Fu Zhaoning to bring back the stone, so he ended up buying another small stone.
They went to the backyard again.
A large piece of black cloth was lifted, revealing a pile of large and small stones in the yard. There were quite a lot of them.
Everyone looked at it curiously.
When Fang Shiqing saw Fu Zhaoning bought one, she felt a little itchy for a moment.
"Dad, I'll buy one too."
"Okay, okay, go ahead and pick one, but don't pick one that's too big. Just pick a small one like Zhaoning." Fang Dafu said.
His main thought was that he might not pick one with jade in it anyway, and a big one would cost more, so he might as well pick a small one and suffer less loss. He could just think of it as spending a little money to let her play with it and have fun.
"OK."
Fang Shiqing was very happy and pulled Fu Zhaoning.
"Zhao Ning, which one do you think I should choose?"
"I don't understand this either. I just go by my feeling."
Fu Zhaoning really didn't know how to gamble on stones, so she just went by her instincts. In the past, her grandfather and teachers all said that her intuition was terrifyingly accurate. Even though her teachers were all medical students and believed in science, they were always shocked by her intuition.
"By feeling?"
Fang Shiqing also understood. She thought about it and laughed, "It all depends on fate! Let's see which stone I am destined to be with."
She walked over, looked around twice, and picked out the small stones. As a result, she actually saw a stone that was almost the same size as Fu Zhaoning's.
“That’s it!”
She immediately walked over, picked up the stone and showed it to Fu Zhaoning.
"Take a look. Is it about the same size as yours?"
“That’s about the same.”
Fu Zhaoning looked at the stone and actually thought it was good.
"Zhaoning Zhaoning, what do you think of this?" Fang Shiqing asked her a little excitedly.
"I think it's okay." Fu Zhaoning nodded.
Fang Dafu laughed out loud.
He was so happy, "You two are really good sisters. You should choose similar jades?"
Can you still be so picky?
But seeing his daughter so happy, he was willing to spend the money.
"Master Gu, how much is this?"
Master Gu looked at Fu Zhaoning.
"In this case, I'll count your piece as twenty-eight taels."
"Dad, pay the money." Fang Shiqing quickly said to Fang Dafu.
The two of them each bought a piece of stone, and were both anxious to know whether there was jade inside and what kind of jade it was.
After asking Mr. Gu, the two men each paid two taels of silver and started cutting the stone here.
When the stone-cutting machine was pushed out, wow, it was really huge.
"The blades here need to be replaced frequently, so the cost of cutting stones is not cheap." Gu Ye explained to them, "But your two pieces are small, so I only charge you two taels. If they were larger, the charge would be higher."
This is understandable.
The sound of cutting stone was quite loud, and there were flying stone chips, so they all stayed away.
It was only at this time that Eleven told Fu Zhaoning about the information he had previously found out.
"Miss, we have already found out the whereabouts of Mr. Ji and Mr. Situ. The people in the carriage went straight to find Mr. Ji and Mr. Situ after they arrived."
"And the woman?"
"After she got off the carriage at the farm, she went to look for the person herself. It seemed like she knew where the person was."
"Where is my master?"
"Mr. Ji and Master Situ are both here to collect medicinal herbs. It is said that an old man who grows vegetables in the manor accidentally found a patch of medicinal herbs when he went into the mountains one day and dug it up and brought it back."
"What medicine is it?"
"They call it bittervine."
Eleven doesn't know what bitter vine is.
Fu Zhaoning also felt unfamiliar with the name of this medicinal herb. This might be a kind of medicinal herb that she didn't know, or it might be different from the name of the medicinal herb in the future.
"The World Medicine Alliance and Tongfu Pharmacy are not on good terms. Now it seems that neither Mr. Ji nor Mr. Situ will give in to each other. It is still unknown who will buy the batch of bitter vines."
It’s pretty good that Eleven was able to find so much in such a short time.
Fu Zhaoning also wanted to go and see.
No matter what, she had chosen Master Ji as her teacher, so she had to learn as much as possible from him about identifying medicine.
That person Situ Bai...
In Prince Jun's Mansion, Xiao Lanyuan took out a small box and opened it.
Others might see the exquisite box and think there is some treasure inside, but who would know that after opening it, there is only a neatly folded handkerchief inside.
The handkerchief was plain and old, with indelible blood stains visible on it.
"Your Highness, is this the handkerchief that Princess Yunyao used to bandage your wound when you were attacked as a child and were rescued?"
Qing took a look.
The prince hasn't taken out this handkerchief for a long time.
Is it because Princess Yunyao has returned that the prince has recalled the past?
Xiao Lanyuan looked at the handkerchief and closed the lid again.
"Let's go and meet her."
Song Yunyao asked him to go out of the city to pick her up, so he went to take a look.
