He thought it was just an accident. If he chose well this time, he would definitely get something good.
Even if the price is the same as the one he bought from the person before. That's dozens or hundreds of times, and he will make a profit by then.
Because of this thought, he kept buying stones to open stones. The more he bought, the more jealous he became, thinking that maybe he could get his money back with the next piece.
Of course, it's not that he didn't come up with anything during this process, it's just that the most valuable one was only slightly higher than the price of the original stone.
He didn't think it was very good, so he sold it directly and used the money to buy other things.
When he came to his senses, there was not much money left in his pocket, which made him feel so distressed that he felt it was difficult to breathe.
He brought a total of more than 10,000 taels of gold, which in the Hongwu Kingdom also meant more than 200,000 taels of silver.
Thinking that he had given away over 200,000 taels of silver in just one morning, his anger suddenly started to rise.
These stones are all fake and nothing good at all.
What he saw before was just a trap that had been set up in advance to trick people like him who didn't know anything into investing money in it.
Because of this, he made a fuss and shouted loudly that he wanted the person in charge here to give him an explanation.
I didn't know he was here, but I didn't understand what he said. Later, through a translator, I found out that he actually yelled that the stone was fake, and the people were going to kick him out.
Just when he wanted to say his identity, he remembered that he was the king of a country and could not be embarrassed by being brought to the Cangming Kingdom, so he endured it.
The person in charge here swore that the stones were not fake and that he was just unlucky and could not rely on others.
Because of this, after Quan's father-in-law asked the translator to talk to him in a nice voice, he continued to wander around.
Later, I saw that someone else had actually opened a lot of them before getting good ones, so I thought about using the little gold I had left to make a profit.
He thought that today was not his auspicious day, so he was not suitable to choose the stone. Although Yan Shiqing was a pregnant woman, who made her a lucky star?
In order to allow him to read the book and open her eyes, she would just come over and choose a few for him.
At the moment, he didn't want to see others offering good things, and he didn't dare to do it easily, so he and his father-in-law Quan and others waited at the door for Yan Shiqing's arrival.
He felt that the passage of time during this period was extremely difficult. It was only more than an hour, and he felt like several days had passed.
When he heard that Yan Shiqing had arrived, he became energetic and quickly raised his head to look at the person.
"You're finally here. Hurry up and give me a choice. I lost miserably, with more than two hundred thousand taels of silver."
Emperor Dexuan said, his eyes were a little red, and even his voice was trembling.
His total possessions now only amount to less than two hundred taels of gold. You must know that when he came out, he was brought with him a large box full of gold, and each ingot was either fifty taels or a hundred taels.
Now he only has so little left, and he doesn't know what else he can buy. With just this little, he probably won't be able to do other business.
Yan Shiqing looked at Emperor Dexuan's heart bleeding and couldn't help but sigh.
This is what happens when you dream of getting rich suddenly.
It's definitely not possible to count on her. Fortunately, there is a master who can give him a copy. Of course, it's just a possibility.
As for how her master Ni became a master and what his level was, she didn’t know!
"It's useless for you to ask me to come. I don't understand this either. But since I'm here, let's take a look before talking."
Yan Shiqing didn't want to give Emperor Dexuan too much hope, so he could only say ugly things in advance.yyls
She was afraid that Emperor Dexuan would start to revert to his old ways if he knew that Ni would choose.
Anyway, she didn't say anything about it. As long as she could find a decent stone and sell it in exchange for the money to buy him sugar and fruits.
The journey to the Frankish Kingdom is still far away. If we lose money by betting on stones here, we can just make candies and sell them in other countries.
She believes that those melon and fruit flavored candies will definitely be popular. Even if they are not as profitable as imagined, they will definitely not be much less.
Emperor Dexuan was a little discouraged when he heard Yan Shiqing's words, but now he had no choice. He was very unlucky, so he could only place his hope on her.
Regardless of whether she understands it or not, as long as she is lucky, maybe he can turn this around.
Well, let alone making money, as long as you don’t lose that much.
"You take a look first and then talk!"
When Emperor Dexuan said this, his mood was still a little low, but his eyes looking at Yan Shiqing were very fiery, and he even secretly prayed to God to be kinder to her and bring her good luck.
Seeing him like this, Yan Shiqing turned her head and looked at Chu Ximo, then took two steps forward to Ni's side.
"Master, let's go shopping!"
As she spoke, she stood still and looked back at Xiao Nian'an: "Huaijin, come to mother!"
Xiao Nian'an is in good spirits now. Although there are many people in this market, there are also many people in their group. There are guards around, so the little guy is not afraid of anything happening.
After Yan Shi cried out affectionately, he raised his head and said to Chu Ximo: "Dad, Huaijin is going to find mother. Later, we can find something good to carve a seal for father and make a jade hairpin for mother."
Chu Ximo knew why the little guy said that, but when he came over on the way, the little guy was curious, so he took the opportunity to explain to him where he was coming, where the various jade came from, and what those jade could do.
wait.
After hearing this, the little guy became interested. He remembered that Mr. Ni said that everyone could choose one, and he wanted to make jade for his father and mother so that they could use it.
It has to be said that Xiao Nian'an is really smart. He walked between Yan Shiqing and Ni and allowed them to lead him forward.
Whenever Mr. Ni paused, he seemed to be looking at the texture of the stones, etc. He didn't understand and didn't ask, but followed and observed carefully.
He was short and couldn't see some parts, so he looked at how other people selected rough stones.
Even if he didn't understand, some of those people would use their hands to make gestures when choosing.
This is a lot more observational, and the little guy also understands a little bit.
When Mr. Ni hadn't made a move yet, and Xiaowa, Chen Yining and others had spent more or less money to buy the stones they liked, he looked around, quickly took a few steps forward, and locked his gaze.
Only then did he look at Yan Shiqing with a goal in mind.
"Mother, Huaijin wants this."
He said, pointing to the stones of different sizes piled in the corner.
At first glance, it was obvious that the stone had been dug up and discarded.
Yan Shiqing looked in the direction of his finger and was surprised. Then she lowered her head and said, "Huaijin, I don't want those. There is nothing in them."
Chu Ximo, who was following them closely, said: "Huaijin, have you thought clearly? If you buy those, you can't choose other ones. And whether you can get something out or not, don't worry about it."
The little guy nodded, walked over there and squatted down. Then he pulled at it a few times with his little hands and pointed at a fairly large piece of scrap: "This, Huaijin wants this."
The little guy said, stretched out his hand and touched the uncut and damaged lines, and his intuition told him that there was jade inside.
Chu Ximo's education to Xiao Nian'an is that no matter what you do, as long as you make up your mind, you can't go back on it.
Now he saw that after asking, the little guy still insisted, so he nodded in agreement: "Since you want it, then daddy will buy it for you."
As he spoke, he looked at Yan Shiqing: "Qingqing, ask someone how much this sells for."
Yan Shiqing knew that he would say this, even if he told her, she would have to agree. It was rare that this was the first time his son asked for something, and no matter what, as parents, they had to do what he wanted.
"good!"
Yan Shiqing said and went to negotiate with the store. In her opinion, the scraps piled in a corner were all used and not valuable at all. It could be said that they were given away for free and no one wanted them.
But since their son wants it, then they will buy it. No matter how much money, even if they spend money to buy stones, they have to satisfy the little guy.
It's just that the little guy's designated area will not be opened at that time, and will be taken directly to the boat.
If one day the little guy gets a whim and wants to take advantage of it, just ask Zhai and the others to try to use their internal strength to peel it off bit by bit and show it to him.
Just as Yan Shiqing expected, the scrap was the last thing the store would throw away.
At this moment, she said that her son wanted to buy it to play with. When the store owner saw a child squatting there, pulling stones with his little hands, he smiled and accepted a tael of gold and let them choose whatever they wanted, even if they wanted all the scraps.
.
When Yan Shiqing was helping to translate these words, Xiaowa said in high spirits: "Princess, Bai Zhi has something to do and can't come, so let me help you choose one for her. Anyway, in addition to the ones designated by Mr. An, I also choose the ones that don't cost money."
Just a few bucks."
As she spoke, she handed Zhai the things she had chosen before, and then stepped forward to pick through the pile of scraps.
Mrs. Ni was a little surprised to see the satisfied smile on Xiao Nian'an's face.
When Xiaowa helped bring over the piece of scrap he wanted, which was not that big, he saw the lines and cutting surfaces on it, and a light flashed through his eyes.
Yan Shiqing had been paying attention to Mr. Ni and became thoughtful when she saw this.
Could it be that the scrap material Xiao Nian'an chose can really produce something?
Mrs. Ni noticed Yan Shiqing's gaze. When she came back to her senses, she did not speak, but nodded slightly towards her.
Yan Shiqing felt quite happy when she thought that she had just spent a year's gold and the little guy could pick out the missed jade.
In any case, this is a good start. But I will keep this scrap for now until we get back to the ship.
When the time comes, the little guy can drive it if he wants to. If not, it can be kept as a souvenir.
Emperor Dexuan really wasn't in the mood to accompany them around like this. He wanted to urge them, but he was afraid of offending Yan Shiqing.
After all, he doesn't have much money left now, and he still hopes to rely on these profits, so he naturally has to be careful in his choices.
If he buys it and drives it out but doesn't have it, then he really has nothing.
It's just that everyone has been walking for so long, Chen Yining and the others have chosen a piece of stone, but Yan Shiqing and that Ni Shi were picky and didn't buy one.
