There was a young man in his twenties at the door of the store, tinkling silverware.
He looked skinny and honest. He was so engrossed in knocking that he didn't notice anyone coming in front of him. Maybe it was because there had been no customers in the shop for so long that he didn't have the consciousness to distract himself from welcoming customers.
Shan Hai thought for a while and didn't have the nerve to disturb him, so he opened the curtain and walked into the store. Others followed him in one after another. The young man knocked for a while, and as if he had realized something, he turned around and ran into the store. He first
Apologize, and then tell them that the shopkeeper is away and has gone to the warehouse to check on a new batch of raw materials.
Shi Wuqi looked at the jewelry on display and casually said, "Is the warehouse so far away?"
"Aren't you locals? It's right across the street." The young man pointed to the door and said, "Half a month ago... something happened. When my master went to the warehouse to take stock of goods..."
The young man updated his voice a little tiredly. It seemed that he still couldn't get out of the shadow. Shan Hai interrupted him in a hurry.
"You don't have to say it, we've heard about it. So that place is still closed now?"
"I thought it happened in the store." Dai Luan interjected.
"Hey, if the old man walks in the store, we can't open the door now." The young man smiled bitterly, "Now we have to rent a warehouse, which is a bit far. But I guess the shopkeeper and my senior brother will be back soon.
."
"Business may not be good." Lord Ruyue looked around, "It feels a little deserted."
"Isn't it... The commotion has made people panic, and no one will come for a while. But if we don't open, we won't be able to sell even a single piece of jewelry. Our two senior brothers, our families are not well off, and we will starve to death.
I'm not bad myself, but I can't provide any subsidy to my family, let alone extend my hand to them... My parents always call me a beggar."
No one's life is easy. They all sighed after hearing this. They walked to a row of red cloths, on which were displayed longevity locks. There were gold, silver and jade, mostly silver ornaments, and various birds and animals were engraved on them.
.There is a set of twelve zodiac signs that are the most beautiful. Each one has a nose and eyes, which is very vivid.
"Look at this big rooster!" Dai Luan pointed at one of them and said, "The tail is so wide, so majestic. Does it look like a peacock?"
"It is indeed majestic." Lord Ruyue took a look, "It's just...a chicken is a chicken, there is no reason why you can get promoted by wearing red or green."
Noticing that they were looking at the row of longevity locks, the young man came over.
"Ah, some of these are left by the master, and some are made by the new shopkeeper. Take a look at them, they are not expensive."
"The new shopkeeper seems to be treating you quite well," Dai Luan said.
"Yes...if he hadn't been kind-hearted, the two of us would have gone to the street to drink the northwest wind."
As he said that, two more people came in at the door. One of them looked young, in his early twenties. He nodded and bowed to the guests, and then asked the young man to go out to unload the goods. The young man nodded to one of them, and then said to the shopkeeper, that was just
When guests arrive, greet them in a respectful tone.
Shanhai was stunned, and Dai Luan was also stunned when he turned around. Only Shi Wuqi was a little confused. The shopkeeper suddenly opened his eyes wide and stared at them seriously, a little dazed and a little unbelievable.
It can be said that this new shopkeeper is an old acquaintance.
"Yunge?" Dai Luan was extremely surprised, "Why are you here?"
Yun Ge was indeed a little older, his skin was tanned a lot, and there were some fine wrinkles on his face. He was unshaven, but they could still recognize him at a glance. Shan Hai was also very surprised. He didn't expect Yun Ge from Jintong Township.
He actually appeared in Cangyi City and bought a jewelry shop.
The two apprentices finally came back after moving their things. The young man at the beginning moved his arms and unexpectedly found several people sitting peacefully at the small table. Yun Ge also asked him to pick up a pot of tea.
"So you know each other?"
"Yes...but I didn't expect it either."
Yun Ge's voice didn't change much and was still as steady. He said that he had traveled to many places and learned various craft techniques. He finally felt a little tired and wanted to find a place to rest. It happened that there was a shop here.
When the trouble was over, he used all the money he had to buy the store and settle down here first.
Yun Ge naturally asked them about Mu Wan's whereabouts, and they said she had gone elsewhere. He inevitably asked about the umbrella, whether it was durable and could not bear breaking. They looked at each other a few times,
For a moment, he didn't know what to say. Only Shi Wuqi pinched the bridge of his nose, organized his words and asked:
"Since you have repaired this umbrella...well, can you still repair an umbrella that has been burnt to ashes?"
Dai Luan rolled her eyes, thinking that he was asking nonsense. Yun Ge looked at him seriously, with a serious tone.
"I can't repair anything that burns to ashes."
"Oh... just ask."
"But there is always someone who can. There are many legendary craftsmen who have this ability. When my father was alive, he and others repaired the belongings in the house that had been burned by the fire. There was a colleague who used ashes to repair the damaged parts of the jewelry as before, but only
I just don’t have the ability.”
Shi Wuqi nodded and said nothing, but sighed in his heart. You must know that Ye Yinlu was burned by the strange black fire to the point where there was no residue left, and even if he wanted to recover, he would not be able to recover his body.
"By the way, how is your longevity lock?" Yun Ge suddenly looked at Dai Luan, "It has been so long, and it should be polished."
Dai Luan looked confused and didn't know where to explain it. So Lord Ruyue simply said: "There was an accident and it fell."
"oh……"
He nodded thoughtfully and asked another apprentice to come over and get something. He asked them to go out and walk around, and he would give Dai Luan another one. They all felt it was unnecessary, because they knew that the situation in this store was not very good.
, not wanting him to spend money. He just waved his hand and said it doesn't matter. The apprentice looked at them, a little reluctant, but went anyway. This is not incomprehensible, after all, he hasn't had enough to eat, why did the new shopkeeper
Sending money out.
"I guess it won't take too long. A simple little thing only takes an hour. The sacred bird Xuanluan is more complicated, but it won't take more than two hours. You can just walk around and it will be done when you come back."
"The shopkeeper doesn't like people watching his work," the waiter added.
It seemed that he had not changed his old habits for many years. The master and the disciple could not resist, so they agreed sheepishly and thanked them repeatedly. However, Shi Wuqi asked angrily:
"How can your skills be so fast?"
"I'm a bit lazy. What I want to use is silver soil unique to a small village, which is very easy to plasticize. Carve the clay embryo first, and it will shrink after heating, so it will look very delicate."
"Dirt?" Shanhai was surprised, "Isn't the village you mentioned near Tanghuan County?"
"...right? You know that too?"
"Yes. A few of us went to Tanghuan County last year and passed by there when we left. At that time... there was a small shrine there, and we met Maoyue-kun. Then something happened, and Mu Wan was separated from us.
"
When he said this, Shanhai looked at Shi Wuqi, as if he was explaining to him. Yun Ge paused and said:
"...Oh, she. I've seen her too."
"Have you seen Mr. Mao Yue?" Shi Wuqi was a little surprised, "Qinghe Canhua Mr. Mao Yue?"
Lord Kisaragi smiled: "Otherwise there would be no Lord Uzuki."
"I didn't expect you to see my old friend there. But even though she is an old friend, I don't have much interaction with her... It's just that she spent a long time in Xuanchuang Town."
Lord Ruyue just looked at Shi Wuqi with a meaningful look in his eyes. He noticed it, but couldn't figure out why and didn't ask. There seemed to be nothing more to say after that, so Yun Ge let them go for a walk and recommended a few restaurants.
Nice snacks. Even after reaching the door, Dai Luan still felt uneasy. She showed a sad look and turned around and asked:
"It's just that we don't have much money. How much is this worth?"
"I told you I don't want any money." He waved his hand as if to drive them away. "If you feel really sorry, just think you owe me a favor. In the future, I will always ask you to help me."
They thanked and left the jewelry shop first, but Ruyue Jun stayed. With Huang Quanling's identity, it was not a problem to investigate the warehouse across the street where the accident happened. On the way, Dai Luan told Shi Wuqilu a lot about what happened before.
Everything that happened was the details after he left. Some of them she had said, but she had forgotten, and some she had not said. Wu Qi didn't mind hearing them again.
The sky started to get dark, and various stalls were set up on the roadside. Two streets away, they said there was a saltine bakery, which was pretty good, and they were looking for it. There was a roadside oven with a long queue, and they all thought to themselves:
It can't be that, it's just pancakes. I searched around and couldn't find it. When I asked on the roadside, it was true. A passerby said that the young couple making pancakes usually close their stall before dark, so I'm afraid there will be a queue again.
Can't buy it.
"I should have just asked the people in line." Dai Luan regretted it. The reason was still not that she wanted to eat the cake, but that her expectations had once again failed.
I was thinking that it was almost time, why not go back to the jewelry store to have a look. If that didn't work, I could buy something else on the way and bring something to eat for those people. As soon as they turned around, they heard someone calling them from a distance,
It's Mu Wan.
Shan Hai turned around and saw Mu Wan holding a paper folder with a piece of cake in it and holding an apple candy in her other hand. There was someone beside her whom they had never seen before.
Dai Luan walked up to her and took a bite from her cake, as if there was no one else around.
So they all walked up and broke off a piece each, just because they wanted to know how delicious the pancake that so many people were flocking to was. There were so many sesame seeds on it that it seemed costless, and the texture was crumbly when pinched. They all moved their hands away from her.
When she opened it, all that was left was the little bit she could hold on her fingers.
"Hello!"
"It doesn't seem very tasty either."
"I think it's pretty good."
"I think it's a little salty."
"Is it okay? You haven't sprinkled the salt yet."
"Hello!!"
Cheng You found it funny. He couldn't help laughing and finally caught their attention. Mu Wan thought for a long time and finally confessed honestly that he was the young master Cheng You who Qing Lize met. He didn't say anything.
Well, as soon as he said it was serious, the hostility of several people immediately burst out, and the words "unwelcome" were almost engraved on their faces.
"Are you going shopping with your enemy?" Shan Hai was very surprised.
"No... not really enemies." Mu Wan always felt that the description was getting darker and darker. "The relationship between him and Wu is not as close as we thought. In my opinion, he is deliberately trying to cause trouble."
"Where is it?" Cheng You defended, "I invited back all the people who offended you."
As he spoke, he raised his left hand and there was a small basket with some fruits and snacks in it.
"Okay." Dai Luan nodded with satisfaction, "On behalf of Mu Wan, I forgive you."
