You can't have your cake and eat it too, Zhao Yupu hesitated.
He once showed it to a translation agency in Sparrow City. They said that they could not translate such a book and that they would need to go to a big city to hire specialized talents to translate it. This would take a long time and cost a lot of money.
Zhao Yupu hesitated and said: "Miss An, can you finish translating this book within half a month?"
Seeing that he was moved, An Xiaoqi struck while the iron was hot and said, "Teacher Zhao, I only need a week to do it."
Zhao Yupu's eyes shone: If he can get the translation within a week, he will have time to thoroughly understand the book and convert the knowledge in it into his own, then...
Thinking that his vision, identity, and status would all be greatly improved, Zhao Yupu gritted his teeth and said, "As long as you can translate this book within a week, I will return the original price of the Jade Buddha to you."
"Really?!" Upon hearing this, An Xiaoqi almost jumped with excitement.
She originally thought that it would be difficult to buy the Jade Buddha from this crazy collector, but she didn't expect that it would take no effort at all!
She took the opportunity and said: "Teacher Zhao, I have one more thing to explain to you first. I don't have any cash..." It's always a bit embarrassing to say such things. An Xiaoqi said, hurriedly writing what she had written in advance.
He took out the repayment plan and handed it to Zhao Yupu.
When Zhao Yupu saw it, he wanted to laugh a little. This was the first time he heard about "installment payment" and "IOU" for buying antiques.
He smiled and said: "You don't need 300,000, just 200,000! You don't need to pay back the money every day. I don't have a fixed time limit. You can pay me back when you have the money. The premise is that you must maintain the quality and quantity of this book."
Translate it for me”
"No problem!" An Xiaoqi agreed without hesitation
Zhao Yupu is a cautious person, so he immediately signed a contract with An Xiaoqi
For a week, An Xiaoqi had to live and eat at Zhao Yupu's house - Zhao Yupu was reluctant to let others take his precious ancient books out of the house, which was one of the reasons why he could not cooperate with the translation agency.
Zhao Yupu also requested that every time An Xiaoqi translated a part, the translation manuscript would be given to him to read first, and he would also seize the time to read it thoroughly and digest it.
Within the contract time, if the manuscript is translated, An Xiaoqi can write an IOU to Zhao Yupu and leave with the Jade Buddha.
An Xiaoqi originally thought of using a hundred days to earn money to redeem the Jade Buddha, but she didn't expect that this would be enough. She really felt that she had made a lot of money.
After talking to Zhao Yupu, An Xiaoqi planned to go home to tidy up, send some more daily necessities to Mo Li, and then go to the hospital to hire a professional nurse.
In order to catch up with the progress, she might not have time to go to the hospital this week. She had to settle Mo Li's life first.
After bidding farewell to Zhao Yupu and Mrs. Zhao for the time being, An Xiaoqi returned to her hometown in Sui Sui with great joy.
When I got home, I saw the pushcart and the tools used when selling tadpole noodles lying in the yard.
Then she suddenly remembered that she was only worried and had forgotten all these belongings at the door of the thermal power plant yesterday afternoon.
They must have been picked up in pieces. No one else has the key to the house.
After returning home, An Xiaoqi boiled some water, took a bath, and prepared for a week of hard work.
When I was sorting out Mo Li's things, I saw that he only had one change of clothes, so I bought him a set of pajamas worth more than 100 yuan from a nearby small specialty store.
