Siheyuan: During the great famine, we produced hundreds of millions of tons of grain

Seeing Wan Ping'an's gesture, Han Chunming nodded slightly and directly closed the door of the shop that had just opened.

It was not until this time that Wan Ping'an began to briefly explain to everyone from beginning to end about the intricate forces of the Nine Gates.

After nearly an hour, Wan Pingan finally gave everyone a brief account of the incident.

After listening to Wan Ping'an's description of the complicated power of the Nine Gates, everyone at the scene couldn't help but secretly take a deep breath. The small Nine Gates actually encompassed the existence of officials, businessmen, and thieves.

It can be said that both the black and white worlds have people with nine gates!

"Nine Gates, I didn't expect that such a force existed..."

"Officials, businessmen, thieves, both black and white are involved. Although these nine sects are not well-known, they should not be underestimated..."

"Could it be that the person who came to the store some time ago and ordered those tomb robbers to test it was a test from the Nine Gates..." After hearing Wan Ping'an's description of the Nine Gates, everyone sighed inwardly.

All of their eyes could not help but fall on Wan Ping'an, and they spoke with a hint of worry. Especially Han Chunming and Yan Jiekuang, who were at the moment and were the first to be affected.

If the Nine Gates wanted to target them, Han Chunming and Yan Jiekuang might not be able to withstand the pressure. But what they didn't expect was that Wan Ping'an shook his head slightly and said:

"If they wanted to target us, the two old men wouldn't have appeared here..." "Since they showed up, they represent the people of the Nine Gates, and they are showing goodwill to us..."

Having said this, Wan Pingan paused for a moment, and then continued:

"The most important thing is that even if the Nine Gates want to settle in Liulichang, the business they do will not conflict much with ours..." After hearing Wan Ping'an's words, Han Chunming and Yan Jiekuang thought silently for a moment.

Think about the most basic foundation of the Nine Gates. Nine out of ten things they deal in are things dug out from the grave. The remaining one percent is just some superficial work to cover up these things.

Wan Ping'an's arrangement for Han Chunming and the others was an aboveboard operation, and he would never interfere in any illegal or irregular matters. Thinking of this, Han Chunming raised the corners of his mouth, and immediately flashed a smile and said:

"In that case, the joining of the Nine Gates' forces will not have any impact on us. Instead, it will further accelerate the development of Liulichang..." Before Wan Ping'an could say anything, a gleam of light flashed in Yan Jiekuang's eyes.

It was only at this time that Wan Ping'an nodded slightly and said, "You are indeed right..." "Okay, let's stop here for the Nine Gates."

"Today is the opening day of Huamei's Sculpture Art Gallery. How can they close the door right after the opening?"

As he spoke, Wan Ping'an waved his hand and signaled Han Chunming and the others to quickly open the door.

As the door opened again, Han Chunming and Yan Jiekuang were outside chatting and welcoming guests.

At this time, Zhang Yan and the other girls all looked at Wan Ping'an and said, "Xiao Fan, aren't the prices of these things in the store a little too high..."

Not to mention the two works just purchased by the two old men.

Looking at the remaining items in the store, even the works carved from peach or jujube wood, the cheapest one is priced at 49 yuan. This is just a palm-sized work, and the material is just the most common peach wood, or jujube wood.

Although I dare not say that they are everywhere on the street, if they were placed in the countryside, they would be used as firewood. However, after Huamei made a little move, it turned from firewood into something worth a lot of money.

In this day and age, this mere 49 yuan is equivalent to a month's salary for ordinary workers! Seeing the slightly worried looks on everyone's faces, Wan Ping'an reached out and picked up a work of art to take a look.

Then he smiled and met the gaze of Zhang Yan and others and said: "Although the peach and jujube wood are not valuable, they are used as firewood in the countryside." "But the real skill is the eyebrow-drawing skill."

"This is a masterpiece of a master, and it's only priced at 49 yuan, which is already extremely cheap..."

"We are taking the high-end route. There is a saying that goes, if you don't open a business for three years, you can make a living for three years after you open it..." "The two orders we completed today are enough to make a living for a year..."

At this point, without waiting for Zhang Yan and the other girls to say anything, Wan Pingan immediately changed the subject: "From now on, the operation of this store will be temporarily handed over to you, Xueru...

"As for Huamei, your current craftsmanship has reached a bottleneck. In addition to improving your cultivation strength..." "The most important thing is to focus on your carving skills, and break through to the grandmaster level as soon as possible..." While speaking, Wan Ping'an's eyes swept over Zhang Yan, Huamei, Chen Xueru, and Ran Qiuye.

Wan Ping'an couldn't help but sigh in his heart that these women were not simple characters. On the contrary, he seemed to be busy every day and did a lot of things.

But if you think about it carefully, in addition to the practice of the powerful Bull Demon Fist, there is also the mental power as a trump card.

Although Wan Ping'an was very good at everything, like a hexagonal warrior with no obvious flaws, he felt inferior to Zhang Yan in terms of her attainments and talents in medicine.

Looking at his efforts and accomplishments in eyebrow drawing and carving, he is only one step away from the master level.

As for Chen Xueru, she was able to run her silk shop to its current level in the complex environment of Old City.

Although she is still a little inadequate, if she is given some pointers and learns some business management techniques of the future, she will be a strong woman! On the contrary, although teacher Ran Qiuye has not yet completely broken the last layer of window paper with Wan Ping'an.

But looking at the changes that have taken place in her during this period of time, and her attitude towards Wan Ping'an, Zhang Yan and the other two girls all saw it. Apart from other things, Ran Qiuye's training in standing meditation, breathing techniques, and Chinese martial arts.

His talent and hard work are second only to Wan Ping An!

It hasn't been long since then, but Ran Qiuye has already reached the threshold of Ming Jin.

As long as Wan Ping'an gives a little guidance, it will take a month or a few days to break through! Time passes little by little.

Seeing this newly opened store, it really attracted a lot of attention from passers-by passing by.

But when these people stepped into the store and saw the prices of the sculptures, their expressions changed drastically, and they turned around and left without saying a word. Damn, the cheapest sculpture was only worth 49 yuan, which was simply a robbery for ordinary people.

There are also some people with good eyesight who can see the carvings of Huamei.

While secretly sighing, even if they wanted to buy one, they were ultimately discouraged by the price.

After a day's work, apart from the two sculptures purchased by the two old men, which cost them a total of 10,000 yuan, there were still some people who had good eyesight when they came and went in Liulichang.

Seeing the carvings in the store, looking at those masterpieces by masters.

Although the price is high, several works with a price tag of hundreds of yuan and only the size of an ordinary person's palm were still sold. The materials used in these works are either golden nanmu or precious wood such as huanghuali.

The price ranges from a few hundred to several hundred yuan!

As everyone closed the door, they counted today's harvest.

Everyone's gaze towards Huamei suddenly changed slightly. "I didn't expect that these carvings by Huamei sister are so valuable."

“I originally thought that with such a high price, even if it could be sold, there would probably not be many people who would buy it.” “I didn’t expect that even with such a high price, there would be so many people who would buy it…”

Seeing Zhang Yan and other girls talking about it, they looked full of emotion.

Wan Ping'an smiled, greeted Han Chunming and Yan Jiekuang and said: "Today is a good day for the opening, let's go back and celebrate..." Even Huamei himself did not expect that his works would be so popular.

Seeing Huamei's smile at this moment, Wan Ping'an couldn't help but step forward and hold his hand. "These works are all the works you put your heart and soul into..."

"Each piece is of master-level quality, and the materials such as golden nanmu and huanghuali are precious woods in themselves." "It is normal that they are so popular..."

Just as Wan Ping'an started to speak, everyone had already returned to the mansion. The group did not delay and went straight to the restaurant.

At this time, Nan Yi had already prepared a table of delicious food with his disciples.

His eyes swept across the kitchen, and he saw that the kitchen, which was originally very empty and had an area of ​​several dozen square meters, was actually filled with more than ten figures!

In addition to the two kitchen helpers and three apprentices at the beginning, Nan Yi found ten more apprentices to come to the Lin Mansion according to Wan Ping'an's instructions.

One reason is to hone and improve their cooking skills.

Secondly, Wan Ping'an had mentioned something to Nan Yi some time ago, which was to open a restaurant! After Nan Yi's consideration, he nodded and agreed to Wan Ping'an's proposal.

First, he asked his apprentices to come to the Lin Mansion for two months of training, and Nan Yi would personally teach them. Once these people had graduated from Nan Yi's tutelage, it would be time for Wan Ping'an to open a restaurant.

Looking at the dozen or so masters and apprentices gathered together, talking and laughing, Wan Ping'an nodded in satisfaction, and then retracted his gaze. Then Wan Ping'an came to the place where the wine was placed, picked up a jar of five-jin bone and blood wine, and said:

"Come, to congratulate Huamei's carving studio on its grand opening, let's celebrate today..." As he spoke, Wan Ping'an directly greeted everyone, and they started eating and drinking while talking and laughing.
