Chapter 512 Preparations before opening

Shuiling immediately stood on the shaft of the car and shouted: "Uncle Jinran!"

That acquaintance was none other than my neighbor from the warehouse in the border city, Su Jinran, who ran an escort agency.

Su Jinran's eyes lit up when she saw Shui Ling, "Niece, I delivered all the goods."

Shui Ling nodded. It was impossible to get in from the front, so she simply drove the carriage to the yard opposite the alley.

Everything here has been bought, but the construction has not yet been completed. It is half staff dormitory and half parking lot.

She put away the bionic horse and the big pepper, then went out, squeezed over and asked, "Uncle Jinran, how was the journey?"

Su Jinran nodded, "It's good, it's safe, and the goods are fine."

"As long as it's safe." Shui Ling nodded. In fact, these goods didn't have any valuables, they were all mountain goods.

But the arrival of the Escort's convoy is of great significance to her, just like the Stone Fairy, isn't it out of stock? She can just take the things she got from the past from the space. If anyone asks about the source, just say it was sent by the convoy.

Su Qin was also happy. She was counting on the convoy to come, but in fact, just like Shui Ling, she wanted to use the convoy to get the medicinal materials.

After the things were moved, Shui Ling arranged for the people from the escort agency to live in the medicinal food shop to replenish their bodies.

That night, Shui Ling got into the space to rummage around. She had collected a lot of things before, but they were not classified in detail, so she worked all night to sort them out.

She was a little confused looking at the jade she had selected on the ground.

Butler Qian came over, gave her a glass of juice, and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Shui Ling pointed to the jades on the ground, "Some of them are too old. Will taking them out cause problems?"

Butler Qian said with a smile: "You have to take a few of them, they can be treated as not for sale, and the rest can be cleaned and repaired with a knife."

Everyone was trying their best to find ways to make them look old, but Shui Ling was worried that these jades were naturally old. She thought about it and nodded, "This is the only way."

I selected some and put them in the box. I collected five boxes and more than 200 items, which should be enough.

She sent them to the Stone Immortal again overnight. Chen Hanshu was shocked when he saw these jade articles.

"Master, where did this come from?"

Shui Ling smiled and said: "These were all exchanged for grain over there. See how you can change them to make them look almost like new ones."

"Ah? The older this jade becomes, the more expensive it becomes." Chen Hanshu was also confused by her strange idea.

Shui Ling smiled and said: "Some people are more taboo, and these are collected from the private sector, so they cannot be counted as products produced by us. You have to change them and make them products produced by our Stone Immortal."

Chen Hanshu understood that some of these things should be funerary objects. The local people dug them up and sold them to their employers.

He nodded and said: "Okay, it's easy. Just use the polishing machine you gave me to polish it again to make it more round and smooth."

"Then thank you for your hard work. I'll go back first." Shuiling put down the things and prepared to go back.

Chen Hanshu warned, "My boss, be careful. Although the city is safe, there are still some gangsters."

Shui Ling smiled and said: "Don't worry, none of the ten will be my opponent."

She smiled and went out into the night.

After not walking far, I saw someone lying on the ground, still moving.

She walked over curiously and found that it was Chen Mei, the man who wanted to kill Princess Ping'an. Wasn't he encouraged by her to pursue the concubine of Prince Rui's mansion?

When Chen Mei saw Shui Ling, she immediately cried and said, "Girl, save me. That concubine found out that I couldn't even bring out a hundred taels, so she sent someone to kill me to silence me."

Shui Ling squatted on the ground and asked, "Have you succeeded?"

Chen Mei was stunned for a moment and said, "Not yet."

"It's really useless." Shui Ling expressed his disgust.

Chen Mei cried and said: "That woman is very powerful, she is always testing her, and there is nothing I can do about it."

Shui Ling thought for a moment and felt that the safety and reputation of Princess Ping'an were more important, so she took out a few old-fashioned jades and gave them to him, "Here, I will go to pawn tomorrow. Make a big fuss and let people know that you are poor and only have family heirlooms left."

items.”

Chen Mei was a good judge of goods. He sat up immediately, took the jade and said, "This one is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Do you really want to give it to me?"

"Here, anyway, you must do everything you can to marry that concubine back." Shui Ling said.

"Okay, okay..." Chen Mei immediately became more energetic, her body no longer hurt, she got up and ran.

Shui Ling doesn't care about this, he only cares about Princess Ping'an's safety.

She returned home and began to develop ink sticks. It would be a pity not to use so many ink blanks.

She spent one night making three sets of pens, inks, paper and inkstones.

The inkstone is made of green jade, which is rectangular. Half of the grooves should be polished with sandpaper, otherwise it will be too smooth and difficult to apply ink.

On the upper half, a carving knife was used to carve the words "Excellent literary talent", and then the three colors of plum, orchid and bamboo were carved.

The pen is carved from jade, with the same design and color as the inkstone, and the ink strips are also printed with gold powder in different patterns.

There was no time to prepare the paper, so we had to use an automatic paper machine to make snow-white rice paper. A set with a knife is enough.

These things are packed in three red sandalwood boxes and look expensive.

When it dawned the next day, Shui Ling went to Mingxiang Pavilion.

The shopkeeper came up to him and said, "Is it so early, boss?"

Shui Ling nodded, "During the trial operation, hang up three pairs of couplets, and then put these three sets of things under the couplets, and reward those who can make a pair."

The shopkeeper hissed, "This is too expensive. Aren't we going to lose money before we even open the business?"

Shui Ling laughed and said, "No, I've prepared the pair. You can hang up when the time comes."

"Tomorrow I will send a tea girl over to perform a tea art performance on the second floor. The tea girl must match the tea in her hand to win a cup."

"By the way, there is also Qin Niang. I have to ask the shopkeeper to protect the two girls when the time comes. Who knows if there are some gentle scum out there."

"Okay." The shopkeeper had a bitter look on his face. He still felt that these three sets of calligraphy treasures were too valuable to be used as tributes.

Shui Ling didn't explain much and took out three pairs for him.

"Three feet of bamboo in a clear pool will bring you happiness; sit at a banquet and enjoy the harmony of a pine tree." (Liang Tongshu)

"People are like the gods in autumn water and jade, and the fragrance of plum blossoms is like the fragrance in the bones." (It seems to be from Tianxin Pavilion, the author is unknown.)

"God sees the world with wisdom and Buddha, like an orchid and a lotus in his heart." (Unknown author)

After reading it, the shopkeeper asked in surprise: "Boss, who wrote this? It is so absolute that no one can match it."

Shuiling paused, then shamelessly acted like a plagiarist, "I wrote it."

"Ah...my boss is such a talented person!" My boss gave a thumbs up.

The fact that Shui Ling was made the princess is not a secret. Everyone in the streets knows it, but everyone thinks that the princess who grew up in the border area is a loser. Who knows that she is a talented woman who is not even as good as a man.

Seeing the shopkeeper's tangled look, Shui Ling felt nervous and asked worriedly: "Is this bad?" Could it be that it's not good for pairs?

"Okay, that's great. I can't tell you if I don't read the second couplet." The shopkeeper quickly put the second couplet away without revealing it.
Chapter completed!
