Chapter 150 Ning Bao is afraid she won't grow tall.
After walking through the cave entrance for a short while, you'll see a locked door.
Shen Junshan looked at the lock on the door and was about to chop it with his wood-chopping knife...
"Uncle, let me do it!"
Shen Junshan turned his head and saw Ningbao stretch out her chubby little hand and "gently" pull, and the lock opened with a "click".
Ningbao couldn't wait to push the door open and go inside.
"Wow! Uncle, look! So many things!"
Although there was no real gold or silver in this warehouse, it was full of good stuff.
The warehouse was quite spacious, filled with stacks of cloth.
In the innermost corner against the wall, there was a shelf displaying various beautiful porcelain ornaments. Ningbao stared at these porcelain pieces for a moment, then frowned.
"Uncle, these vases are only for looking at and can't be eaten, so why are they so shiny and seem so valuable?"
Shen Junshan paused for a moment, then picked up a vase and examined it carefully.
“Ningbao, this vase is no ordinary vase.”
"Uncle, isn't a vase just for arranging flowers? What's the difference between ordinary and extraordinary vases?" Ningbao asked, a little puzzled.
His master said that decorative items like vases are cumbersome, costing a lot of money and easily broken. Only a fool would buy them. He said that with that money, he would be better off buying two big steamed buns to eat.
Therefore, the facilities in each room of their Sanqing Taoist Temple are very simple, but there are such beautiful vases in the rooms of her three senior brothers.
Master said that only fools like Third Brother with lots of money would do those kinds of tricks.
Ningbao was puzzled. The compass showed that these bottle ornaments were very valuable, but she really couldn't see what made them valuable.
“Ningbao, if your uncle is not mistaken, this should be an antique.”
"Antiques?" Ning Bao was taken aback.
"Uncle, are antiques ancient treasures?"
"I suppose so." Shen Junshan looked at the various valuable porcelain ornaments on the shelf. It seemed that this family must be business people. They couldn't take so many things with them when they left, so they had to leave them in this warehouse.
However, given the external situation, it was only a matter of time before this place was discovered by refugees, and Shen Junshan had never liked to be a pushover.
With her own family struggling to make ends meet, she couldn't possibly think about unrelated people. She waved to Ningbao, who was selecting fabrics over there.
"Ningbao, come here."
Ningbao walked over carrying several bolts of cloth she had selected.
Ning Bao is short, and these bolts of cloth are all whole. Although she is strong enough to move them, she looks like she is completely submerged by the cloth from a distance because of her height.
Seeing this, Shen Junshan quickly went over and took the cloth from her hands.
"Ningbao, these fabrics are too heavy. Don't move so many at once, or they'll all stunt your growth."
Ning Bao was stunned for a moment.
"Uncle, will moving a lot of things stunt your growth?"
Shen Junshan nodded.
"Of course, so Ningbao, don't move so many things in the future. Your uncle knows you're strong, but you can't use your strength like that."
Our Ningbao is a little girl, and little girls should be delicate and frail. She should ask her brothers to do the rough and heavy work. Anyway, Ningbao has so many brothers, so why not use them?
"If your brothers aren't here, you still have your dad and uncle. For example, Ningbao could have called for her uncle when she needed to move the cloth."
Ning Bao frowned.
"But my master said that one should do one's own things and one's master's things should be done by one's apprentice. I don't have any apprentices yet, so I can only do it all by myself."
"Uncle, my brothers are brothers, not apprentices. Would it be inappropriate for Ningbao to ask them to do things for her?"
Shen Junshan raised an eyebrow.
"No, your brothers are your brothers, it's only right that they take care of you and help you. Of course, Ningbao will also do her best to help her brothers with whatever Ningbao can do."
He suddenly felt a bit resentful towards Master Sanqing. It seemed that Ningbao's current maturity and independence were all thanks to Master Sanqing.
Ningbao frowned, still a little puzzled. In her mind, moving things and other rough work were the simplest tasks, and she could do them very easily without having to think. So why wouldn't her uncle let her do them?
Shen Junshan glanced at the bolts of cloth that Ning Bao had brought over.
"Ningbao, do you like all of these?"
Ning Bao regained her composure and nodded.
"Yes, Uncle, look, this is for Grandpa, this is for Grandma, this is for Mommy's aunt, this is for my father, this is for my brothers, and this is for Ningbao..."
Shen Junshan frowned as he looked at the drab, coarse cloth that Ning Bao had chosen for him.
“Ningbao, this fabric isn’t pretty and doesn’t suit you. Look at these brightly colored fine cotton fabrics.” Shen Junshan pointed to the fine cotton fabrics in the pile of fabrics and showed them to Ningbao.
