Eat in Song Dynasty

Chapter 136
"Father, how is it, how does it taste?" After a while, Wen Shu asked.

Wen Tai spat out the chicken bones in his mouth, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's delicious, and it's grown a lot compared to last time!"

"Really!" Wen Shu immediately became happy.

She doesn't doubt the authenticity of her father's words, because her father may lie to her about other things, but he has always told the truth when it comes to cooking and eating.

Thinking about the curly soup she made at the beginning, after her father tasted it, he almost didn't approve it for her to go to the ditch.

"Father, eat more. You must have not eaten these days when I was away, okay. You can eat this meal with all your strength."

"So much, how can I eat it?" Wen Tai shook his head and laughed: "Besides, I didn't lose myself during your absence. Even your Uncle Sun asked me to eat a few meals. It just so happened that you did it today. The chicken, it’s so delicious, why don’t you share some, and I’ll send some to the Sun’s family, first to thank them for the meals they invited me to, and second, to make me feel proud.”

Hearing this, Wen Shu laughed overjoyed: "Okay, I'll go find a bowl right now, so that you can look good." She got up and went to the kitchen, and after a while, she brought out a large porcelain bowl of soup.

"By the way, Dad, are the relatives of Uncle Sun's family still there?"

"It's still there, but I heard that a house has been found, and it may be time to move out in two days."

"Do you know where they moved? I haven't heard of any vacant houses in our neighborhood." Wen Shu asked while dividing the meat.

"It's not in this area. I heard it's near Taixue. They said it was to give that Sun Dalang a good environment to study."

"Tai Xue!" Wen Shu was surprised, "The rent in that area is not cheap, and Uncle Sun's family doesn't look like a rich man."

"Tighten your belt, what else can you do? I've already read this for the sake of it. There's no reason to give up halfway."

"That's right." Wen Shu smiled, put half of the meat into a bowl, and said, "Father, eat first, and I'll send it to Uncle Sun's family."

"Let me go." Father Wen got up and took the bowl in her hand, "His nephew is still there, and you, an unmarried lady, will give it to others. People may gossip if they see it." Guo Wan turned around and left the hall.

What's the matter?Judging from her father's tone, it seems that he doesn't like that nephew of Uncle Sun's family very much?

Wen Shu was a little puzzled, since it was the first time we met, he even praised her several times,

She couldn't figure it out, but Wen Tai, who was carrying the chicken out of the yard, did have an ugly face.

Originally, when Old Brother Sun's family met for the first time on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Old Brother Sun's second sister-in-law was so enthusiastic about Aning, which made him think that there was something interesting about her, so he also carefully looked at Sun Xing.

At the beginning, he was also satisfied, and thought that if after a period of investigation, his character was not bad, he would marry Aning to him.

Unexpectedly, on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, after Brother Sun led his brother and sister-in-law to sit down, Sun Xingniang saw Ah Ning again, and changed her face, her expression was indifferent, as if he had misunderstood the enthusiasm that day.

He turned around and thought about it for a while, and then he understood why Sun Xingniang had changed before and after.

At first, it was nothing more than taboo to make a living at home and feel unlucky.

Secondly, it may be because she knew that Aning was the only daughter in the family, and she was afraid that she would recruit a relative in the future, and Sun Xing was a scholar, so he would definitely have to take the imperial examination in the future, so naturally he could not be the son-in-law.

Speaking of which, he never thought of keeping Aning at home to recruit a husband, because for an ordinary family like theirs, it is much more difficult to recruit an excellent son-in-law than to marry an excellent son-in-law.

Those who really want to be good at themselves or have a rich family must not fall in love with his family. Those who are willing to marry someone like them either have a family that is too poor to eat, or they have no ability to make a living and just wait for the marriage. Live by his wife.

He didn't want to choose either.

Although Aning is a girl, she is also a child whom he has cared for for more than ten years. He naturally hopes that she can find a husband who loves and respects her.

Wen Shu didn't know what Father Wen was thinking. At the moment, she was propping her chin, waiting for her father to come back for dinner, while trying to figure out how to sell those jade stones.

After exploring in the afternoon, she already knew the price of some jade materials, and now she just had to find a reliable jade shop and sell them.

The jade in her storage basket ranges from common white jade, sapphire, to precious topaz, ruby, and even purple jade that is only available to the royal family.

However, she has no power or power now, if she wants to sell the jade safely, it is best to pick up the common white jade or sapphire first.

But there is another problem, that is, how can she make people believe that there is jade in the stone she is holding?
It is said that if there is jade in the stone, you can only know if you cut it with a ram, but she doesn't have a ram at hand, and she can't afford it, and the axe can't split the stone.

After thinking about it for a while, her father came back with an empty bowl. Wen Shu hurriedly collected her thoughts and had dinner with her father.

After eating, Father Wen continued to work in the shop, after Wen Shu cleaned up the table.I chose a stone the size of half a washbasin from the storage basket.

This stone contains white jade, which is low-grade after Xiaoxing's scan, and the jade content is about one-third of the whole stone.

According to the jade price inquired yesterday, if you can sell it smoothly, you should be able to earn back [-] or [-] guan.

Wrapping the stone on her back with furoshiki, Wen Shu walked out of the yard lightly.

After turning onto the main street, she was stunned for a while, and finally decided to go to the jade shop in the west of the city. It wasn't that there was no jade shop in the north of the city.

As the saying goes, wealth is not revealed, and making a fortune in silence is the kingly way.

The west of the city is adjacent to the north of the city, and it takes about two quarters of an hour to walk there according to Wenshu's footsteps, crossing two main streets, and then two squares.

The west of the city is more prosperous than the north of the city, and there are more antique shops on the street than the north of the city. Wen Shu chose a shop with two doors to enter.

A middle-aged man in his thirties was bowing his head behind the counter to settle the accounts. He should be the shopkeeper. Besides, there were three other guys in the shop, each of whom was busy.

Wen Shu thought for a while without making any detours, and walked directly to the counter, and whispered to the shopkeeper who was behind to settle accounts: "The shopkeeper is good, I don't know if your shop can accept rough stones and jade?"

The shopkeeper was counting to a critical point, when he was suddenly interrupted, his complexion was a bit grim, but in the spirit of a businessman, he still managed to smile a little: "It is accepted, but it also depends on the appearance and color."

"How about the shopkeeper look at me?" Wen Shu unloaded the bag from his shoulders, put it on the counter, and untied the bag by the way.

Seeing that there was a complete uncut rough stone in it, the shopkeeper immediately laughed out loud, "Could it be that the young lady is here to amuse me, how do I know if there is any jade in such an uncut uncut stone, and how can I price it with you?" .”

"The shopkeeper will know if you cut it open and have a look." Wen Shu strongly suggested.

"Young lady, you'd better take it back. Master Xie Shi is very busy and doesn't have time to play with you." The shopkeeper shook his head again and again, almost waving his hands away.
