Chapter 98: Reading is too expensive

Shen Yue said and took out two money bags, one from Suyuanzhai and one from Yaocang.

The bag full of money seemed like two small mountains in her slender jade hands, and she couldn't even hold it.

"This is two hundred and fifty taels of silver, half of the deposit, and I will make up the rest as soon as possible."

Shen Yue handed the money bag in her hand to Guo Chun, but Guo Chun did not take it immediately. He just frowned and looked at Shen Yue with a tangled look in his eyes.

"Um...can't you?" Shen Yue looked at him awkwardly. Could it be that he couldn't pay the deposit yet and could only take the full payment?

After being asked by Shen Yue, Guo Chun recovered from his thoughts and pursed his lips tightly, "Sorry, I got distracted."

"Uh... did you hear what I just said?"

"Well, is this a deposit?" Guo Chun took the money bag from Shen Yue's hand and tightened his fingers.

It was originally caused by this shop, wasn't it? Why is he still feeling a little reluctant to let go...

"Yes, I will collect the remaining half and give it to you when the time comes. It will not exceed the time limit. Of course, you have to give me a copy of the contract." Shen Yue looked serious.

Both parties to the contract have guarantees.

"Hold on."

Guo Chun turned around and entered the west room. After a while, he took out a written contract and had his fingerprints printed on it.

Shen Yue checked it again and found that there was no problem.

Then he pressed his fingerprint and put it away.

"The medicine has been changed for my aunt. Remember not to let her get out of bed in the next few days."

Shen Yue told Guo Chun some more precautions, "If possible, drink some bone soup to nourish her. If it is not necessary, don't talk about sad topics with her, so as not to affect her recovery due to excitement."

Shen Yue gave some indirect instructions and then said goodbye to them.



It was still early, and there was still some time before Qin Lizhen was about to leave, so Shen Yue started wandering around the streets.

Unknowingly, I walked into the previous porcelain shop.

Lao Yu recognized Shen Yue at once, and he immediately walked over with a smile on his face, "Little girl! Are you here?"

"Come and have a look. By the way, store, have you made that little jar I told you about last time?"

Shen Yue asked while looking around the store. She walked to the row of porcelain shelves and looked at them carefully. During this time, a lot of new porcelain was added to the store.

Without exception, they are all made of white porcelain, and they are all made according to the store owner's wishes. Even the footbath is made of white porcelain...

When she took a look, the price was one tael...

Shen Yue's forehead twitched hard. The workmanship can be said to be exquisite, but in this Qingshui Town, who would spend a tael of silver to buy a footbath...

Shen Yue silently put the basin back to its place.

The shopkeeper happened to take out the small jar that had been fired for Shen Yue from the bottom cabinet, and said with a proud face, "I tried what the girl said, and she made it! It's just that the yield rate is a bit low. , it’s good if one kiln can produce half a kiln.”

As he spoke, Lao Yu's tone obviously weakened, and he was no longer as high-spirited as before.

"The ones that were burned are all here. There are twenty of them in total. Girl, let's see if they look good. If so, I will make them for you like this in the future."

Shen Yue took one of the medicine jars and looked at it carefully. The quality of the white porcelain had to be said. The glaze was very good and the lid was very tight. Shen Yue just took one look and decided. Got them all.

"Okay, the quality and appearance are all there. How much does the store price? I want them all."

Lao Yu was still a little worried, fearing that Shen Yue would dislike him for not doing well, but he didn't expect that Shen Yue would actually say that he did well.

A smile suddenly appeared on Lao Yu's face, "As long as you are satisfied, little girl. This small jar is much more difficult to make than the previous one, but you don't need much clay. If you want them all, Uncle Yu will pay you a hundred cents." Only, is it feasible?”

Shen Yue nodded, took out three taels of silver from his waist pocket, and handed it to Uncle Yu, "I'll probably need more than twenty more later, and Uncle Yu will burn some when he has time. I’ll come back to get it in a few days.”

"The remaining one tael is the deposit. When I come next time, I will make up the remaining money." Shen Yue considered that it was not easy for Uncle Yu, so she took out one tael of silver as the deposit so that she could give him the deposit. Uncle Yu is a guarantee.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your trust in me, girl." Uncle Yu took the money and felt satisfied. He felt that his shop could continue to operate...

He immediately looked at Shen Yue with gratitude in his eyes.

Shen Yue put those small medicine jars into the backpack. Before leaving, she seemed to have thought of something. She turned to Uncle Yu and said, "When Uncle Yu is firing the jars, you might as well dry them for half an hour before putting them in the kiln. Maybe it will work." What about reducing some cracking?”

"Okay!" Upon hearing Shen Yue's reminder, Uncle Yu couldn't help but be startled, and then agreed.

Uncle Yu looked at Shen Yue's leaving figure and couldn't help but shook his head. What does a little girl know?

Then he entered the back room, looked at the training body that had just been pulled out and was ready to be put into the kiln, and stopped...



After saying goodbye to Uncle Yu, Shen Yue walked straight towards the Book and Ink Studio.

She promised Luo Qingjiu to buy him a writing brush, but she couldn't break her promise!

Besides, the Tongsheng exam was coming soon, so she had to prepare all these things in advance.

"Girl, what do you need?" The bookboy from Shumozhai saw Shen Yue walking in, and immediately walked to her side and asked respectfully.

"I need some rice paper and brushes"

"Our writing brushes have wolf hair, jian hair, and sheep hair. The rice paper has cotton material and pure leather. I wonder which kind the girl needs?" the little book boy asked patiently.

"It's better. My husband is going to participate in the children's birth. I need some rice paper and cotton materials of every kind, and five brushes of wolf hair." As soon as Shen Yue finished speaking, the book boy brought some pieces of rice paper that were as white and as smooth as jade.

"Girl, you might as well take a look at this cotton paper. The color and workmanship are of the highest quality. There are no lines and the writing will be particularly smooth. If it is for children to take exams, they will basically use this quality."

The book boy respectfully placed the things on the counter, letting Shen Yue choose.

Seeing this, Shen Yue took it and touched it. It seemed that there were no lines, and it was very comfortable to use and not rough.

"This one is very absorbent. This Wangji continuous rice paper is the best among cotton continuous rice papers. Tongsheng can't go wrong by choosing this one." The book boy promoted it vigorously.

"Let me take a look at the brush again. I'll wrap this one up later." Shen Yue handed the cotton paper to the book boy.

The book boy was impressed by Shen Yue and immediately went to get the brush she chose last time. "If I remember correctly, this should be the brush you bought last time, girl. Do you want this kind of brush this time?"

"Okay, I'll help you." Shen Yue was a little surprised. She didn't expect that this book boy still remembered her, and even remembered what she bought last time.

The book boy worked quickly and quickly wrapped the things and put them in Shen Yue's hands.

Twelve patterns of silver!

Shen Yue couldn't help but sigh, studying is so expensive!
