Chapter 11 Shopping in Ancient Streets in Search of Fortune
"Master Hong, you're out for a hot day. How did you learn from Uncle Jiu?"
"Uncle Wang is so polite. I've been practicing almost all today. Master gave me a half day off, so I came out for a walk."
"It's really good. It seems that Master Hong is about to start a master. A person with a status like you can practice patiently until now. I really didn't expect that the old man."
"You have been too rewarded, and it's all taught by the master, but I'm still early to get out of the master in these two tricks."
Walking on the street, chatting with the people who set up stalls on the street.
After lunch, Hong Yun's energy and spirit have recovered.
Taking advantage of the afternoon, Hong Yun planned to come out and take a look at whether there was any suitable business.
In the past six months, Hong Yun has basically understood that the charity village of Jiu Shu should be called Yizhuang, and it is almost a public welfare nature.
If it weren't for the wealthy families in the town and many surrounding villages and towns, and the living standards of the people in this radius of hundreds of miles were pretty good, I'm afraid Uncle Jiu would have been unable to make ends meet.
After truly practicing Taoism, Hong Yun understood why people who practice Taoism would put wealth first in the Dharma Realm.
Starting from standing in a stance to lay the foundation, you need to consume a lot of ingredients to supplement your nutrition.
After laying the foundation, a hundred days of foundation building will be carried out. In addition to still consuming a lot of ingredients, it is also necessary to combine the potions and pills prepared from the exclusive secret recipe and apply them externally and internally to complete the final transformation.
After all these are done, the cultivation of qi is revealed. Just like what Hong Yun is about to do, he is to start formally practicing Taoism.
Whether it is a talisman or other things, it still requires a lot of money.
Take talismans for example, brushes, ink, paper and inkstones are different. This thing needs to be bought at a store specializing in Taoist consumables, which is the so-called Dao Street.
Compared with the four treasures of study used by ordinary people, this kind of specially customized one is naturally more expensive.
In addition, after you have achieved success in your cultivation, you need to prepare special magic weapons for yourself.
Generally speaking, peach wood sword, body-protecting sword, seal, treasure mirror, and bronze bell are needed.
Going further, there are jade talismans, jade pendants, jade ruyi, jade plaques, jade bowls, thunder strikes wood, magic flags, magic rulers, magic fans, etc.
It is really well equipped and each one has a magic weapon to raise a trace of spirituality, so the price is really high.
This is why ordinary Taoist priests feel very poor, because they have no intention of thinking about external things, and they spend some money on these things.
But Uncle Jiu was kind-hearted and always couldn't speak when he met a poor person. Most of the time, he had to pay a lot of money after a ritual.
It’s not a big deal that Uncle Jiu always gives people the impression of being stingy, he is really poor.
Fortunately, Uncle Jiu is the true teaching of Maoshan. When he went down the mountain, the master gave him many magic weapons.
Otherwise, after Hong Yun became a disciple, Uncle Jiu would not even have a few things that could be taken out.
"Aunt Liu, your business is good."
"TOEFL, TOEFL. Recently, Jubaozhai has obtained a batch of high-quality jade from somewhere. Many rich people from all over the country have come to see it. This has caused me to have a lot of business in this small stall."
Walking around, Hong Yun came to a small stall with handmade jewelry and started chatting with the woman stall owner.
On weekdays, this woman named Liu has never been so lively. Today, the traffic suddenly increased, so Hong Yun was a little curious.
It just so happened that he is now planning to find a way to avoid losing money and having no money to equip himself after he goes to the army in the future.
"Jubaozhai? Jade?"
Hearing Aunt Liu's words, Hong Yun smiled slightly and became curious.
"Why, Master Hong, you want to go and see the fun too? I really don't know what's good about that thing. Isn't it just a broken stone? But so many rich people are willing to spend so much money to buy it."
Seeing Hong Yun's curious look, Aunt Liu snorted and complained very dissatisfiedly.
But she forgot that many of the jewelry on her stall were also inlaid with agate, ruby, jade, and even... jade.
"Maybe, as the saying goes, things are rare, and things that are rare are naturally sold at high prices, and the ones that are just rare."
Hong Yun didn't say much, and after briefly explained, he bowed and said goodbye.
Stepping into Jubaozhai, let alone, this jewelry building is decorated really well.
In addition to maintaining the original traditional luxury decoration, new electric lights, telephones and some Western scenery are also added, which is quite a combination of Chinese and Western styles.
In addition to the original solid wood cabinets, there are two more glass counters, which look very fashionable and has attracted a lot of attention.
The house is quite spacious, with only one floor of 700 to 800 square meters, but there are many people in the house, and there must be 20 to 30, so it looks very lively.
"Yeah, Master Hong, you are here, what do you want to come?"
Hong Yun walked to the front of the glass counter. Before he could carefully look at the objects inside, the shopkeeper had already noticed his arrival.
Uncle Jiu's kindness and superb Taoist skills made him very prestige in Renjia Town.
As his eldest disciple, Hong Yun naturally benefited from it.
In addition, over time, the identity fabricated by Hong Yun was also spread. Everyone in the town knew that Uncle Jiu accepted a young master who returned from overseas as his apprentice.
Therefore, the shopkeeper of Jubaozhai was naturally very happy to see Hong Yun.
"Shopkeeper, I heard that you have a batch of high-quality jadeites here. I guess everyone is attracted by these jadeites, right?"
"Master Hong also heard about it? Hehe, yes, our young master is very capable. Just like you, he has just returned from overseas. It is said that he has made friends with a big man, so he has the opportunity to get a batch of high-quality jade."
While talking, the shopkeeper waved to Hong Yun politely: "Master Hong, look here."
After saying that, he pointed to some jade placed on the first floor in the glass cabinet.
Following the shopkeeper's instructions, Hong Yun's eyes swept towards the top jade.
Who knew that this look disappointed Hong Yun.
"Shopkeeper, are these the batch of high-quality jade you got? How much is this one worth?"
Hong Yun pointed to one of the jade flower cards and asked about the price.
"That's right, except for the few on this one, the rest are all."
"You have such a good vision. This jade flower brand was carved by Master Yang from Tianhe City. He is a master of gold and jade!
"Plus with this warm texture and full green embellishment, no matter where this jade flower brand is taken, it will cost you 5,000 yuan. Our young master has the ability and the price of the goods is not that high. If you like it, I will give you this number, what do you think?"
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he secretly gestured to Hong Yun with a four or five.
The meaning is very simple. If Hong Yun wants to buy this jade flower brand, he can sell it to him for 4,500 yuan.
hiss...
After seeing the shopkeeper's offer, Hong Yun secretly took a breath. This was 4,500 silver dollars.
To put it bluntly, except for the jade inside, the other parts of Jubaozhai, including the ground, are probably not worth 4,000 yuan.
Coupled with the texture of the jade, especially the dazzling green, Hong Yun suddenly felt that a road to wealth with golden light was paving in front of him.
