Tibet

Chapter 56
There was no competition or training the next day, so Li Ye found chubby Zhang Ping early in the morning.

The big signboard of 'Xiao Zhang Grocery Store' was put up again.

"How much did this signboard cost?" Li Ye pointed at the signboard and asked with a smile.

Zhang Ping scratched his head and said, "Five strings of money, my father said, change to a better sign this time."

"Does that one know?" Li Ye glanced at the pharmacy opposite.

"Why didn't he know? He even came to say that he knew the best shop with the best sign, and he could ask Master Shanglin of Ci'en Temple to consecrate it for only [-] guan. My father ignored him."

"What expression does he have?"

"Became angry from shame! Angry and anxious, he went back cursing and said that he would never come to my house to buy things again. In fact, he never came to buy anything."

Li Ye couldn't help but laugh. At this time, Zhang Ping's mother warmly greeted Li Ye to go in for tea. Li Ye smiled and said, "You're welcome, Auntie. I have something to do with Xiaopang. I'll be right back!"

"Go! Go! Don't let him watch the store now."

Zhang Ping's family is very grateful to Li Ye for his generous help.

"Aye, where are you taking me?"

"Don't ask, just follow me, it must be a good thing!"

Li Ye took Zhang Ping to the blacksmith's shop in the workshop. The blacksmith's shop was run by a father and son, surnamed Jiang. Lao Jiang was a horse fan, and so was Xiao Jiang. The father and son were loyal fans of the Xiaoqiguard polo team.

Every game of the Xiaoqiguard polo team, the father and son would go to cheer. As long as the blacksmith shop is closed, everyone knows that there must be a match of the Xiaoqiguard polo team.

But yesterday Lao Jiang also went to watch the match between King Ning Polo Team and Yang Family Polo Team.

"Yesterday's Yang's team was so disappointing. They played so well in the first half, but in the second half it seemed like they couldn't play. Their little Li Guang missed three shots, and it's Xiao Li Guang, shit!"

Lao Jiang lost money gambling, feeling very upset.

"Dad, didn't you say that Flying Shark performed well?"

"It's one thing for Flying Sharks to perform well, but Flying Sharks are not interceptors. The interceptors have not changed. What has changed is that the Yang family polo team can't shoot. Xiao Li Guang missed three shots, and the other two bastards They each missed once, and I wanted to rush up and beat them up!"

Li Ye smiled and said: "Uncle Jiang, it's wrong to hit someone, you should hit the iron!"

"Ah Ye, go and learn how to play polo! That Flying Shark is about the same size as you, but he makes a lot of money playing polo."

Zhang Ping next to him moved his lips and almost said, 'The flying shark is right in front of you! '

Li Ye waved his hand, "It's not so easy to make money, uncle, look at this!"

Li Ye handed a pattern to Lao Jiang, "Can this be done?"

"Isn't this an iron pan? Only rich people use it. What do you use it for?"

Of course Li Ye wanted to help Zhang Ping's family. He still remembered a few recipes from later generations, and if Zhang Ping could learn them, the small shop in Sanqiao Town would be saved.

But the first thing he wanted was a wok. Woks only became popular in the Song Dynasty, but that doesn't mean they didn't exist in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, they existed in the Han Dynasty, but they were only used by powerful families.

Until the Sui and Tang Dynasties, iron cooking utensils were always affordable by rich people, and ordinary people used pottery for cooking.

"I'm sure it's useful, can uncle do it?"

Lao Jiang thought for a while, and asked his son, "Is there any iron pot in the batch of scrap iron cooking utensils I collected last time?"

Xiao Jiang scratched his head, "I forgot!"

"Fool!"

Lao Jiang had no choice but to say: "I'll go to the back and look for it. If there are ready-made ones, I don't have to do it."

"I'll go with you too!"

Li Ye also wanted to change the cooking utensils at home. All kinds of second-hand cooking utensils in his family had been used for more than ten years, and they were already in dilapidated condition.

A hut behind the blacksmith shop is a warehouse, which is full of collected scrap iron.

The room had no windows and was very dark. Lao Jiang lit the oil lamp. Under the dim light, all kinds of ironware piled up like hills.

"Two days ago, a restaurant in West Market changed its owner, and the old things were all gone. I went to collect a batch of iron cooking utensils and came back."

"Uncle, I want this stew pot, how much is it?" Li Ye had quick eyes and quick hands, and found a black lacquered stew pot. Based on its weight, he had an intuition that it was a copper pot.

"If you want, I'll give you 280 Wen, and I'll accept [-] Wen."

"I also want this iron pot." Li Ye found another iron pot, which was complete and of good quality.

"Have good eyesight. If this iron pot is new, it will cost at least a penny. If it's half old, take it for two hundred cash!"

Pei Sanniang especially likes to buy second-hand goods. Even if she has money, she can't change this habit. Coincidentally, the same is true for Li Ye. He liked to go shopping for Xianyu in his previous life.

At this time, Lao Jiang found the iron pot and said with a smile: "It's quite complete, but the handle is broken. I'll get you a new one. This iron pot can't be sold for less than two pieces in the West Market. I'm here! You Give three hundred Wen."

Li Ye agreed, "Yes! When can I connect the handle?"

"It's almost noon, and I have a job that's urgent."

"It's okay, uncle, how much is this incense burner?" Li Ye found another incense burner.

"It's made of copper. You need to give me the same money."

"And these two copper basins, and this iron pot, I want them all!"

Li Ye bought nine pieces of iron and bronze wares in one go, and Lao Jiang gave him a discount of five pennies.

Li Ye borrowed his family's donkey cart to transport it home first, and came to pick up the iron pot at noon.

"Aye, did you find something?"

As expected, Zhang Ping grew up with Li Ye and knew Li Ye very well. He felt that Li Ye must have discovered something to leave in such a hurry.

"Hush—" Li Ye hissed his fingers, looked to both sides, and said in a low voice, "There is something wrong with that incense burner."

"What's the problem?"

"You'll know when you go back."

The two hurried back to Li Ye's house and moved all eight items into the small courtyard. Li Ye held the dark incense burner in his arms.

"Tell me! What's wrong with the censer?"

Li Ye smiled mysteriously, took his dagger, scraped off a little bit of black skin on the foot of the incense burner, and it immediately shone silver.

"Ah! It's silver."

"That's right! Lao Jiang misjudged this time, a silver incense burner was actually a copper one."

"You kid has been really lucky recently, you can even make a fortune buying scrap iron!"

Zhang Ping's fat face was full of envy, "How many catties does it have to be so big?"

"It's estimated to be about ten catties!"

"One catty is 16 taels, my day, 160 taels of silver!"

Li Ye patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "What I'm going to teach you today will make you rich in a few months."

"What did you teach me?"

"I'm going to teach you how to cook a few dishes..."

Zhang Ping took a few steps back exaggeratedly, his eyes widened in pretended horror.

Li Ye stepped forward and gave him a slap on the back of the head, "As for it? I look like I saw a ghost. Let me tell you, if you Zhang Xiaopang can't turn over within three months, you don't want to pay back the two hundred coins you owe me." gone."

Zhang Ping's eyes lit up, "Really?"

"Nonsense! Once I, Li Ye, say something, it's hard to follow."

Zhang Ping was like a discouraged ball, "But Daddy won't agree!"

"Then you just trust me, I promise to make you turn around and make a fortune!"

"Okay! I believe you."

"Aye!"

Aunt Mu came out of the kitchen, frowning and looking at the old tableware all over the yard, "Why did you buy these junk?"

"tattered?"

Zhang Ping jumped up, "Ma'am, you don't know that Ah Ye bought an incense burner, and it turned out to be..."

Li Ye covered his mouth, "Don't bluff here, don't you understand if you don't show your wealth!"

"Okay! I won't say anything."

"You returned the donkey cart for me. Remember, don't look for it in the warehouse again. I know your ghost thoughts too well. You will make Lao Jiang suspicious. I searched and found this incense burner. The second one."

"It's such a big pile, where can you find it!"

Zhang Ping said unwillingly: "Besides, there are usually a pair of incense burners, what if there are?"

In fact, Li Ye didn't look for it carefully. Thinking about it, it was right. If there was really another one, and Lao Jiang discovered the secret of Yinzi, he would definitely come to him.

"Don't look for it now!"

Li Ye whispered to Zhang Ping: "Tomorrow morning there will be a competition for Xiaoqiwei, let's look for it through the back door tomorrow morning, if you find it, it will be yours."

Zhang Ping was overjoyed and gave a high thumbs up.
