The place where my heart goes to farming

Borrowing the weak light of the kerosene lamp, Cen Le spent more than an hour, and finally made two bracelets and three hair accessories.

Half of the twenty jade beads were used up.

Mu Chen picked up the bracelet that Cen Le had finished weaving, looked down, and said affirmatively, "Such accessories are very easy to imitate."

Although the ornaments woven by Cen Le are indeed beautiful, unique and unique enough, but the weaving method is too simple, and those who know some crafts can understand how to weave after a little groping, and once more people imitate, the ornaments will become No surprise.

"I know." Cen Le smiled and gestured: "But now I have no money, if I don't earn some silver taels first, I can't do anything, not to mention that although the production methods of these ornaments are simple, they have to be imitated It's very easy, but it takes some effort to do it well and look good, and the time in between is enough."

Cen Le is very clear that this is not a business that can be done for a long time. There are too many powerful craftsmen in this era, and he can't compare with it. What's more, such jewelry sells special and freshness. Once there are more, it is not unique enough, and the freshness will be It will pass and it won't be worth much.

Mu Chen saw that Cen Le himself understood, so he didn't say any more, he put down the bracelet, and asked again: "How are you going to sell these accessories tomorrow?"

Cen Le thought for a while and told Mu Chen, "I want to try it in the shop and discuss cooperation with them. If it doesn't work, I'll sell it on the street myself."

Mu Chen stared at Cen Le. After a long while, he suddenly got up and went back to the room. When he came back, he took half a jade pendant in his hand. He handed the jade pendant to Cen Le, and said, "If you want to go to the store tomorrow, you can go to the store. "Qin's Jade Artifact" in West Street, find someone named Qin Ming, I have some friendship with him, when you see him, give him half of the jade pendant, and he will know."

A few years ago, Mu Chen unintentionally rescued Qin Ming from a group of gangsters. At that time, Qin Ming had something important to do and needed to leave. , you can go to Qin's Jade Ware to find him.

Cen Le understood his situation, and he did not reject Mu Chen's kindness. He reached out to take the jade pendant, and thanked him, "Thank you."

Seeing that Cen Le didn't reject him, a smile flashed in Mu Chen's eyes, "It's just a matter of little effort."

Catching Mu Chen's smile for a moment, Cen Le also laughed. He lightly stroked the half jade pendant in his hand, feeling extremely warm in his heart.

The next day, Mu Chen and Cen Le still set off early.

Probably because of the good weather, the weather has been very clear these days. As soon as the sun comes out, the snow will melt and the road will be much easier to walk.

In consideration of Cen Le's feet, Mu Chen walked slowly today, and it was almost time when the two arrived in Suzhou City.

Mu Chen rushed to go to work, but before leaving, he still repeated what he said last night worryingly. It wasn't until Cen Le smiled at Mu Chen and nodded to indicate that he had written it down, then he left in peace.

Qin's jade wares were on the West Street, Cen Le saw that Mu Chen had left, and walked directly towards the West Street.

Just like yesterday, West Street was as lively as ever, and the street was full of vendors and passers-by with all kinds of things.

Cen Le raised his head and carefully looked at the names of each shop. After about a cup of tea, he found Qin's jade wares.

Coincidentally, this Qin family's jade wares store is where he bought jade beads yesterday.

Cen Le has a good impression of this jade shop. He visited three streets yesterday, and in every shop he walked into, the shop assistants and the young master basically changed their faces instantly when they saw his attire. The one who changed his face also liked to ignore him, but this shop treated him equally, and after knowing that he couldn't speak, he still didn't show any strange expression.

And he originally planned to sell some of the woven accessories here.

There were a lot of customers in the shop at the moment, and the guys were all busy, Cen Le stood at the door, ready to wait until there were fewer people before going in.

Azhu sent a guest to the door, looked up and saw Cen Le standing outside, he still remembered Cen Le, and saw that Cen Le had been looking at the shop but didn't come in, so he walked up to Cen Le and asked: " The guest officer is here again today, but what happened to those jade beads yesterday?"

The boy who entertained Cen Le yesterday was A Zhu.

The sudden sound startled Cen Le.

Slowing down a bit, he looked at the young man who made the noise, and remembering that the young man was the one who entertained him yesterday, he waved his hand and told the young man that he didn't come here for the jade beads.

Ah Zhu seems to understand, he scratched his head, and said with a smile: "I don't understand very well, or you can come in, I'll get a pen and paper, and you write it out."

Cen Le nodded, followed A Zhu into the shop.

"You go and sit down first." Azhu pointed to the chair not far away, and said to Cen Le.

Cen Le walked over according to his words.

Ah Zhu quickly went to get the pen and paper, and returned to Cen Le in a short while. He spread the paper on the table and handed the pen to Cen Le.

Cen Le took the pen, wrote "Thank you" on the paper, then looked up and smiled at A Zhu.

Azhu smiled foolishly, and quickly waved his hands twice, "You write, if there is something wrong with yesterday's jade beads, you can return them."

Cen Le shook his head, then wrote: "I want to ask, is there a person named Qin Ming in your shop?"

Azhu replied: "Yes, he is the young master of our store."

Cen Le said: "I want to find him."

Azhu was a little surprised, "What do you want from my young master?"

"I want to do business with him."

"This..." Ah Zhu wrinkled his face, a little embarrassed, "Master may not necessarily see you."

Hearing this, Cen Le took out the half jade pendant that Mu Chen gave him from his bosom, and he handed the jade pendant to A Zhu, and wrote: "Please give this half jade pendant to him for me."

Azhu took the jade pendant and hesitated, "Then I'll try it, please wait a moment."

Cen Le said, "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Azhu shook his head, then greeted another clerk, opened the curtain near the counter, and walked in.

Cen Le sat outside and didn't wait for long, but after a while, Ah Zhu led a young man out.

The young man was in his twenties. Although his appearance was not outstanding, he had a pair of peach blossom eyes with a natural smile, and the pupils were also very bright. These eyes made up for his lack of appearance and added a lot of charm.

The youth is Qin Ming.

Qin Ming saw the jade pendant that Azhu took in, thought it was Mu Chen who came over, so he quickly put down what he was doing, and walked out. He always wanted to repay Mu Chen's life-saving grace.

Seeing that the person who came was not Mu Chen, Qin Ming was taken aback for a moment, but his expression did not change, he just asked, "You are the one who asked A Zhu to give me the jade pendant? Does Mu Chen have anything to do with you?"

Cen Le said: "It's me, Mu Chen is my friend."

Qin Ming nodded, and asked again: "What's your name?"

"Cen Le."

Qin Ming wrote down Cen Le's name, and then asked, "A Zhu said, you came to me to discuss business with me?"

"Yes." Cen Le took out the bracelet and hair accessories that he knitted last night and put them on the table, "I made this, you can take a look."

Seeing the jewelry that Cen Le brought out, Qin Ming's eyes flashed with astonishment, and then became a little interested in the business that Cen Le said, after all, it was the first time he had seen such a special jewelry.

He picked up one of the bracelets and looked at it repeatedly in his hand. After a long time, he asked, "What do you want to talk about?"

"Cooperation." Cen Le said, "I want to sell it in your shop after weaving it. The income will be divided into [-]-[-]%. And if Young Master Qin wants to learn, I can also teach you how to weave."

Qin Ming raised his eyebrows: "Aren't you afraid that I will learn it?"

Cen Le smiled, and wrote slowly: "I think Young Master Qin can also see that although these ornaments are unique, the weaving method is very simple, and it only takes some time to learn, so I will tell you the weaving method , it doesn't matter much."

Qin Ming smiled, "You are an honest person."

Sitting down on a chair beside him, Qin Ming tapped the table with his index finger, and after pondering for a long time, he said, "How about this, let's put these few accessories in the store for sale today, and if they can be sold within two days Finished, then we will cooperate according to the method you said."

Cen Le thought for a while, and replied, "That's fine."

Qin Ming laughed, and was about to say something, but saw a woman dressed as a woman walking towards them, followed by a maid and a nanny, presumably the young mistress of some family.

The woman picked up the headdress woven by Cen Le and asked curiously, "What is this, so unique?"

Cen Le dipped a brush in ink and wrote: "This is a kind of headgear."

Cen Le made this by imitating the hairbands commonly used by modern girls. He simply interlaced three ropes of different colors to form a length, then made flowers and animals, and dropped three jade beads at the tail. Simple, yet beautiful.

The woman seemed to like it very much. She flipped it over and over again, and then asked, "How do I use this?"

"Let me try it for you." As Cen Le said, he took another similar hair accessory on the table, wrapped it around his head twice, fixed the patterned side on one side, and said , "As long as this is enough."

After reading it, the woman turned her head, and handed the headdress in her hand to the maid behind her, and asked the maid to put it on for herself. After she finished wearing it, she asked Qin Ming to borrow a bronze mirror.

The mirror showed her appearance after wearing it. The woman was very satisfied and ordered it on the spot.

After that, she tried another hair accessory and a bracelet, both of which she also liked.

The woman asked, "How much silver in total?"

Qin Ming reported a figure: "A total of two taels of silver."

Hearing this, Cen Le couldn't help but look at Qin Ming, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This price is really too high.

Glancing at Cen Le, Qin Ming smiled, and then calmly introduced each price to the woman one by one: "The two hair accessories you selected cost one, two or four dollars in total, and this bracelet It's six silver coins, can I help you wrap it up?"

"Well, wrap it up." The woman was not short of money, she was very satisfied with the three accessories, so she asked the maid to pay for it.

The author has something to say: (*/ω╲*) This is how Cen Le made his first pot of gold.

Well, continue tomorrow, good night!
