Chapter 87 Buying Rough Stone

Pan Yingying glanced at him and snorted coldly, "Don't shout, your sister is not here."

Yu Chaosheng rushed over, hugged her arms and started crying, and no matter how hard she tried, he refused to let go.

"You know, I lost my mother when I was very young..."

He always said things that were easy to arouse sympathy, such as how the nanny didn't give him food when the adults were not at home, how he was isolated by his classmates at school, and so on.

Pan Yingying closed her eyes, this guy!
Don't think she didn't know. The nanny didn't give him a meal, so he reported it directly to the old man. The old man was kicked out of the house that night and didn't even stay overnight.

As for being isolated by his classmates, wasn't it because he was too rude, saying "Everyone here is my younger brother" when he turned around to introduce himself? Moreover, he didn't even finish half a semester at that school, and he transferred to another place because of his grandfather's work.

The old man had told her all these stories as funny things, and she remembered them clearly.

Thinking of the old man, Pan Yingying sighed in her heart. Never mind, just consider it as for the old man.

"Okay, stop acting, pack up and go to bed!" Pan Yingying shook her shoulders in annoyance.

Yu Chaosheng paused in crying, raised his head, his eyes red, and pointed at Batian who was spinning around hungry next to him, "You know, it lost its mother when it was very young..."

Pan Yingying: ...You are taking advantage of me, aren’t you?

Finally, the two sat opposite each other in front of the coffee table, and Tyrant squatted obediently beside them, waiting for his favorite midnight snack.

Pan Yingying bought grilled fish from the mall and took out a bowl of milk for Batian.

Yu Chaosheng handed over a pair of disposable chopsticks, "Sister Pan, come here."

Pan Yingying rolled her eyes at him, took the chopsticks and started eating the fish in silence.

Yu Chaosheng lowered his head and curled his lips.

The next morning, when Yu Chaosheng came out of the big tent leading Batian, everyone knew that the two must have reconciled, and the depressing atmosphere in the team was immediately swept away.

Qin Sanniang watched Yu Chaosheng bathing Batian from afar and said to Qi Fang, "There is no such thing as overnight hatred between husband and wife."

Qi Fang nodded, and quickly started a fire and cooked.

Last night, Lumei, who was with my cousin and his wife, came to inform them that they would stay in Huai'an for a few days, and that those who had silver notes at home should try to exchange them for cash. She planned to take Qin Sanniang to the clinic and exchange the 100 taels of silver notes and two gold hairpins that she had hidden for cash.

Although she didn't understand why such a notice was issued suddenly, she knew that her younger cousin and his wife were very wise people, so it would be right to listen to them.

The others had the same idea in their minds, so when they arrived in Huai'an and booked an inn, they immediately went to the money house.

Before entering the city, everyone changed into their best clothes, dressed themselves neatly, and pretended to be a caravan.

When Batian entered the inn, he scared the innkeeper and the waiters, but the innkeeper had seen some worldly things after all. Seeing that the couple were well-dressed and that there were people in Huai'an City who kept ferocious beasts as pets, he managed to keep his composure and not lose his composure.

The reason for booking the inn was not only to make it convenient for everyone to be together, but also to prevent Batian from scaring people, so Pan Yingying paid generously.

Leaving Batian in the guest room on the top floor in the care of Honglian and Lumei, Pan Yingying and Yu Chaosheng left the inn together.

They have already found out from the shopkeeper that Huaian's raw stone market is on South Street, where the largest gambling stone shop is also located.

As soon as she walked into the crowded South Street, Pan Yingying heard the voice of the system.

[Ding! Found Dushan jade raw stone, worth 800 taels per catty! ]

Pan Yingying: ???

Her eyes suddenly straightened.

God!

She grabbed Yu Chaosheng's hand, and her palm began to sweat. Seeing her like this, Yu Chaosheng's heart trembled, and he pulled her and walked quickly to a deserted corner.

"What's going on?" He leaned close to Pan Yingying's ear and lowered his voice.

Pan Yingying swallowed her saliva and responded in a low voice, "400 taels per catty."

Yu Chaosheng's eyes widened and his breathing suddenly became rapid.

He grabbed Pan Yingying's hand and said anxiously: "Let's go buy some rough stones!"

Pan Yingying nodded, "Let's go!"

The two quickened their pace and followed the system's instructions to a small stall.

There is a long row of street stalls at both ends of South Street, and the shops are located inside. People are coming and going everywhere, and it is not much different from the Chinese New Year.

From time to time, you can hear the sound of firecrackers, and in between, there are a few excited shouts of "Green, green!"

There was a pile of raw stones on the stall in front of him, but the system only pointed to one of them.

Pan Yingying remained calm, pulled Yu Chaosheng, and glanced at the two stones on the stall next to her that the system pointed to.

It seems like the system is cheating for them.

But we still have to see the situation first. What if the jade we mine can be sold for more here?
Thinking of this, Pan Yingying gave Yu Chaosheng a wink.

Yu Chaosheng understood and started picking up the raw stones on the stall while asking the stall owner about the price of the jade.

The stall owner probably had bad business, but when he finally had a customer come and show the intention to buy stones, of course he told him everything he knew.

Finally, after some bargaining, Yu Chaosheng spent 8 taels of silver to buy the stone that Pan Yingying mentioned.

Carrying the stone away, Yu Chaosheng and Pan Yingying whispered about what they had learned.

The price of the raw stone is actually not as high as imagined. What is really expensive is the finished product carved by Huaian's carving masters.

The general price of jade ranges from 10 taels to 200 taels, and rarely exceeds 200 taels unless it is of particularly good quality.

Pan Yingying felt relieved, fortunately, the price did not exceed the price offered by the system mall. After all, it was safer to sell it to the mall.

The two men walked and stopped along the way, using silver notes at the big stalls and small silver at the small stalls, and soon they had a bag of stones in their hands.

They found a deserted place and sold the goods in the mall, then they easily entered a shop further inside.

The business of the shop is much better than that of the street stalls in front. Not only are there many people buying, but there are also many people watching.

The crowd was wearing all kinds of clothes, from silk and satin to coarse linen, and the two of them blended in without standing out.

Pan Yingying told Yu Chaosheng the stone selected by the system, and put the silver note into his bag via the space, and left the rest to him to discuss.

Today she discovered that Yu Chaosheng was not incapable of doing business, on the contrary, he was very good at it. So before he traveled through time, he messed up the company and left the whole business to her. Was it all intentional?

But now is not the time to talk about this, making money is more important.

After a while, Yu Chaosheng came over with a bag of raw stones of different sizes.

Not all buyers are willing to have the stone cut in the store, so naturally no one cares if he buys the raw stone and takes it away.

While no one was paying attention, Pan Yingying put one hand on the bag and silently smuggled the stones inside into the space to sell to the mall.
