In the Tang Dynasty, because copper coins were heavy and gold was rare, it was extremely normal to use silk, pepper and other items as currency for payment. Especially black pepper, which was an absolute hard currency and was popular everywhere.
The nobles of the Tang Dynasty loved to eat meat to show their nobility, but they suffered from the lack of seasonings that could remove the smell of meat. Pepper could do that, so it was naturally popular. In addition, pepper was imported, the distance was long, and the quantity was scarce, so it was expensive.
"Does the distinguished guest want to buy it with black pepper?" After seeing enough, the maid in green shirt reluctantly put down the wooden box. She liked the wooden box alone.
Lin Wanwan said: "Yes, the elders in the family gave me too much black pepper and I can't finish it. After paying for the celadon in this box, the rest can be turned into gold for me."
"Here! Wait a moment, distinguished guest. I'll ask the shopkeeper to come over."
Lin Wanwan walked out of the Zhenbao Building, followed by two young men who bent down to carry the package for her. They respectfully put her on the oxcart before turning back to the Zhenbao Building.
When Lin Wanwan went in, she took a box of black pepper worth more than 20 yuan. When she came out, it had been replaced by a box of small gold collars, plus six pieces of celadon worth at least tens of millions in modern times!
This time, the whole word is "shuang"!
Back at the inn, Lin Wanwan changed the room into an upper room suite. Since there were more valuable things, the security of the room had to be improved.
The suite is on the third floor. There are only two suites on the third floor of the entire inn, and the other one is empty. The one where Lin Wanwan lives faces east. The daily house price is 1,500 yuan, which is one and a half, the monthly household expenses of an ordinary Tang family.
But for Lin Wanwan now, it's trivial.
When they were about to carry the little guy and move him to the room, the little guy opened his eyes in a daze. When he saw Lin Wanwan, before she was fully awake, she first showed a sweet smile, and there were two cute ones there.
dimple.
Lin Wanwan looked really surprised and couldn't help but kiss her cheek.
"Little guy, are you awake? I'll give you a new name, 'Jie Lu Chua Qing Yu'. You can call her Lin Qing Yu, and your nickname is Xiao Yu'er. How about it, Xiao Yu'er?"
The little guy was confused and understood what she said.
Lin Wanwan hugged her small body, and her heart, which was originally empty, felt strangely satisfied.
She hugged her as if she was hugging herself when she was a child.
Qingyu, she has a pair of eyes that look very much like her own.
Putting on Lin Wanwan's newly bought silk clothes, little Qingyu felt as if she had arrived in a fairy palace. Lin Wanwan asked her to call her mother, so she called her mother.
She always dreamed of being like other children, having a soft and fragrant mother who could hold her, just like other children, and now her dream came true.
As for Lin Wanwan, she has always liked children, but she doesn't like marriage, and she doesn't like having children. She always feels that giving birth to a child will be very painful, even if it hurts to death, and even a cut in the stomach is not a good thing.
, sometimes I dream of having a God-given baby next to my pillow when I wake up.
The two of them would be a perfect match together.
The two women looked at each other tenderly, and suddenly a sound of "Gulu Lu" broke the silence.
Xiao Qingyu held her belly and said quickly: "Xiao Yu'er is not hungry!"
This is because she thinks that every time her stomach rumblings, she will be scolded by her cousins and aunts. Not only will she not have food, but she may also be kicked out of the house.
For a long time, she has been like a stray dog, living by picking up unwanted seafood and rarely getting a meal.
Lin Wanwan rubbed her head with pity and said, "Mom has something delicious for you. How about following me from now on, having enough food and clothing, and also reading and writing?"
"Okay, okay, Xiao Yu'er is obedient." The little guy laughed, with sweet dimples hanging on his face.
Lin Wanwan took the yogurt-melted beans she bought from the modern supermarket and packed them in a glass bottle, and handed them to Qingyu: "Eat it to satisfy your hunger first."
Xiao Qingyu held the beautiful glass bottle, smelled it deeply, and then carefully took out one pill. As soon as she took it into her mouth, she narrowed her eyes happily: "Mother, it's delicious! Mother too.
eat!"
"Mom doesn't like to eat it, this is specially for children."
***
At night, everything was quiet. Little Qingyu, who had been washed again with soap and a new small bathtub for children, was sleeping soundly in the bed. Lin Wanwan lit a mosquito repellent scented candle and placed it beside her to repel mosquitoes.
These mosquitoes from thousands of years ago are not like the mosquitoes of later generations that have evolved several times and become drug-resistant. How can they withstand the poison of mosquito repellent candles today? They died one after another, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to disturb the little ones.
Then, Lin Wanwan took the new celadon she bought today, walked out of the inn, found a hidden place, and immediately returned to modern times.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was around seven or eight o'clock in the evening, but in modern times it is already 5 o'clock in the morning.
When traveling through the time and space portal, wherever Lin Wanwan left, she would still be in the same place when she came back. At this time, she was back in the small rented apartment in modern times.
It is not easy to sell Yue kiln celadon from the Tang Dynasty, because this kind of thing has a price only if someone buys it. But Lin Wanwan was in urgent need of cash, so she went to a well-known antique shop in Yong City.
She knew this store because she worked as an etiquette lady at the auction house for their store with Chen Jinyu when she was in college. Otherwise, in her circle, she would have never been able to come into contact with a place like this.
I have to say that the part-time jobs of etiquette and modeling are not stable, but they are also very insightful. All kinds of places, opening ribbons, and celebrities performing acupuncture all require etiquette.
Without further ado, Lin Wanwan carried Celadon to the door in a suitcase. When she got there, it happened to be open for business. Lin Wanwan went directly to the costume girl in front of the counter and explained her purpose.
The girl in ancient costume said: "Tang Dynasty celadon? Please take out the collection and put it on the table here. I will take videos and photos and consult our treasure appraisal experts before I can give you an answer."
Lin Wanwan directly agreed, opened the suitcase, took out the celadon and put them away one by one. The girl in costume took a photo and reminded: "Let me explain to you, we charge an appraisal fee of 200 yuan for each collection, but you
If you sell the collection to us, the appraisal fee will be waived.”
"Okay, feel free to identify it."
After the costume girl sent the photo, she smiled and said: "You can go back with your collection now. I will contact you when I have the results. Please leave it..."
Before she finished speaking, the mobile phone in her hand rang, and she immediately showed an apologetic smile: "Sorry, answer the phone."
After picking up the phone, the girl in ancient costume smiled warmly and said, "It's like this. Our treasure appraisal expert and the little boss happen to be here today. Please come to our tea room on the second floor for a detailed chat."
Lin Wanwan wished that the time would be as short as possible, so she naturally agreed.
