Sign-in space: I grew rich in ancient times

Chapter 152 Calculation
Chen Huiyin and the others also nodded fiercely. It was indeed delicious, even better than homemade ones.

Shopkeeper Yan was relieved to see that a few children liked it, and began to eat hard, but he was starved to death.

After eating and drinking enough, he came out of the soup noodle shop, and the shopkeeper Yan said: "Little master, three young gentlemen, although you are going back to Lingwu tomorrow, there is still half a day left, why don't you let my little daughter take it for you?" Are you familiar with the surroundings?"

Chen Huiyin and the others still have their own plans, so they explained their plans for the future: "Uncle Yan, don't bother, we just go around by ourselves, we will stay at the hotel at night, and go to the pier at dawn tomorrow."

"Okay, then I'll leave the mule cart to you, so that it will be more convenient for you to go wherever you want." Shopkeeper Yan suggested again.

Chen Huiyin refused again: "Uncle Yan, there is no need to leave the mule cart for us. If we need a cart, we can just go to the cart and horse shop and rent one."

Seeing this, shopkeeper Yan stopped insisting, watched the four of them melt into the flow of people, and then got on the mule cart and went back to the shop.

Tang Yaoling walked inside while protecting Chen Huiyin calmly, and asked everyone, "Next, let's do that first."

Mu Yang and Wei Chen looked at Chen Huiyin in unison. After all, she was the one participating in the calligraphy, painting and poetry contest, so of course they listened to her arrangement.

Chen Huiyin said quickly: "Then go and sign up first. I don't think this matter will take up much of our time. On the contrary, it is the matter of the inkstone. It is more troublesome, so let's put it later!"

Tang Yaoling had inquired clearly about the place of registration for the calligraphy, painting and poetry competition before. The four of them rented a mule cart at the nearest car and horse shop, went to register first, and then asked the mule cart to take them to Jingstudy. Then pay the fare and get off.

Immediately afterwards, they found a small alley with no one and a dead end. Mu Yang and Wei Chen stood guard at the entrance of the alley, while Chen Huiyin helped Tang Yaoling change his appearance. When everything was done, Chen Huiyin and Mu Yang, Wei Chen left the alley and sat down at a tea stand near Jingshuzhai.

Not long after they sat down, Tang Yaoling appeared with a small box in his hands, and then entered the quiet study.

Wei Chen and others entered the door, and then lowered their voice and said, "Sister Qiao, do you think Da Lang can successfully leave the inkstone in Jingshuzhai for consignment?"

Chen Huiyin shook her head: "I don't know, it's hard to talk about it, let's calm down and wait for Dalang's news!"

At the same time, in the Jingshuzhai, Tang Yaoling, who saw the shopkeeper in the guest room, opened the small box, took out the inkstone inside and handed it to the shopkeeper of Jingshuzhai: "This is the inkstone made by the elders in my family. Take a look at this sculpture." Kung fu, and the texture of this inkstone."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper of Jingshuzhai stretched out his hand to take the inkstone. First, he was attracted by the color of green inlaid with purple on the inkstone. He was well-informed, but he had never seen such a beautiful inkstone. It is not an exaggeration to describe the pattern on it as lifelike, and the design of the pattern is also very novel. This is the first time he has seen such an exquisite inkstone.

Looking at the texture of the inkstone, he first buckled it lightly, and the sound was clear and transparent. Then he looked carefully at the texture of the inkstone, and it was also extremely delicate. The stone used to make the inkstone is obviously a new kind of stone. With a smile on his face, he praised: "This inkstone is clasped with sound, and its texture is delicate. Just looking at its appearance, it is really good."

When he said this, he paused, then frowned suspiciously, held the inkstone for a while and looked at it deliberately, then put down the inkstone and said: "It's just that the old man has been dealing with pens, inks, papers and inkstones all year round, and the inkstones made of various stone materials are all I have seen it before, but the inkstone you brought, sir, I can’t see the calendar on its right material, and I dare not accept this thing that cannot be seen.”

Although Tang Yaoling has never been in contact with business, he also knows that most businessmen are shrewd and cunning, so he has been observing the shopkeeper quietly. Before the shopkeeper had a very slight change in mood, he did not feel any malice from it, but he also put it in In his heart, after hearing what the shopkeeper said, he probably knew what the shopkeeper was thinking.

So Tang Yaoling said: "This is the stone that the elders of the family dug in the mountains. Seeing its beautiful color, I wanted to go home and try it. I didn't expect this stone to be really suitable for making inkstones, so I made these five stones with the collected stones. , asked me to take it to Dongdu, and find a store that deals with the four treasures of the study for consignment, and I came to cooperate with you because I heard the name of your store."

After hearing this, the shopkeeper put down the inkstone and said calmly, "Lang Jun's accent seems to be from Nandu?"

Tang Yaoling nodded, "Yes, my family is indeed from Nandu." Then he changed the subject, pointed at the inkstones and asked, "Shopkeeper, would you like to sell these inkstones on consignment?"

The shopkeeper of Jingshuzhai showed a embarrassed expression and said: "Mr. Lang, I really want to help you, but the owner has a clear rule that no consignment goods will be accepted, but it is not easy for Mr. Lang to come here. I am willing to pay a high price for this Five inkstones."

At this point, Tang Yaoling had already confirmed that the shopkeeper was a man of knowledge, and he was very optimistic about the prospect of inkstones made of Helan stone, so he lowered his eyes in confusion, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his head and asked, "Shopkeeper, what would you like to offer?" How much do you want to buy this inkstone?”

The shopkeeper stretched out five fingers and said, "One inkstone is five taels of silver, and I will accept all five inkstones."

After hearing the quotation, Tang Yaoling shook his head: "This price is not worth it. The elders of the family have confessed that the quality of this inkstone is not inferior to that of Duan inkstone and She inkstone, not to mention that this product is so outstanding."

After speaking, he put the inkstone back into the box, then got up and said: "Since your store doesn't accept consignment goods, I'll go to another store and ask."

After speaking, he didn't give the shopkeeper another chance to keep him, he took a long leg and left quickly.

At the tea stand, the three of Chen Huiyin saw Tang Yaoling coming out of Jingstudy, and their eyes fell on the small box in his hand. They knew that the consignment of inkstones had not been negotiated. The three of them sat on the tea stand without moving, looking at Tang Yaoling. Blending into the flow of people, Wei Chen beckoned to the waiter.

At the same time, Chen Huiyin and Mu Yang discovered that another middle-aged, lean middle-aged man came out of Jingshuzhai, quietly walking quickly in the direction Tang Yaoling left.

Chen Huiyin and Mu Yang looked at each other, and Mu Yang said, "I'll go to the grocery store nearby and I'll be back soon."

The waiter who came over didn't take Mu Yang's departure seriously, after all, two of the three drinking tea were here.

The waiter in the shop said enthusiastically: "Xiao Langjun, what can I tell you?"

Wei Chen handed the prepared ten copper coins to Xiao Er, and then asked, "Brother Xiao Er, let me ask you something, is there any shop here that only sells the Four Treasures of the Study?"

Xiaoer quickly took the money, his face was full of joy: "Xiao Langjun, there are many owners of such a shop, you want to buy the four treasures of the study?"

Wei Chen raised his index finger, shook it left and right, and said with a smile, "No, I like to hear about strange people and stories. There are shops here that don't sell the Four Treasures of the Study, but do strange things."
