Save the Bachelor of Heaven

A few years passed in the blink of an eye, and it was 1932.

Xiang Nan is already sixteen years old and has grown into a young man, tall, handsome and handsome.

Xiaodouzi is also thirteen years old and has gone to senior primary school, which is also a senior primary school.

There were six years of primary school in the Republic of China. The first four grades were junior primary schools, and the last five and six grades were senior primary schools.

At that time, those who graduated from high school were considered to be highly educated, could read and write, and could write and write, so they were considered intellectuals.

…

On this day, Xiang Nan and shopkeeper Sun from Shangzhen Pavilion came to Huamanlou to discuss business.

"Hey, Master Duan and Sun Changgui are here. Chunlan, Qiuxiang, Yuexian, and Caifeng, come and greet the two masters." The old bustard greeted the two of them immediately.

Liulichang is close to the Bada Hutong. Those literati and elegant people not only like antiques, books, calligraphy and paintings, but also like red sleeves to add fragrance and beauties.

When Xiang Nan was discussing business with someone before, he also came to Bada Hutong for tea. For example, the girls from Qingyin Xiaoguan are not only good at reciting poems, composing poems, playing chess, calligraphy and painting, but they are also talented people.

Although businessmen value harmony, it is inevitable that they will have to compare their pennies and pennies, and sometimes disagreements will arise if the prices do not match. At this time, those girls need to mediate, act coquettishly, be funny, act cute, and relax the tense atmosphere.

Therefore, many businessmen are happy to come here to discuss business. However, business talks were just business talks. Xiang Nan never stayed overnight and left every time after business talks.

This made Huamanlou's madam almost go crazy with hatred.

Because Xiang Nan is now a big shot in Liulichang. Not only does he have a sharp eye and can distinguish the real from the fake, but he also has a lot of interesting things in his hands. If he takes out any one, it is a treasure worth tens of thousands. Everyone in the circle secretly picks on him.

Not counting his original wealth, the treasures he has sold over the years alone are worth no less than a million dollars. If such a wealthy businessman becomes a subordinate, he will not be able to make ends meet just by doing his business alone.

Xiang Nan and shopkeeper Sun entered a private room, and wine and food were served immediately like a flowing stream of food.

Chunlan, Qiuxiang, Yuexian, and Caifeng sat on either side of the table, helping to pour wine and serve dishes. There were also several little girls standing by with their hands down, one to help others and the other to learn the rules.

Being a red-branded girl in the Bada Hutong is not easy. Appearance is actually secondary. The key is to be observant and eloquent, so that you can make the customers happy and obediently take out money from their wallets.

Therefore, the newly acquired girl will not be forced to accept customers immediately. I didn't understand any rules, couldn't speak any words, didn't have any talents, and I didn't offend all the guests, so at first I just followed the rules and watched how my sisters greeted and treated others.

While learning the rules, you can also learn talents such as piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, music, playing, playing, and singing. After three or five years of training, you are allowed to go out to accompany guests, and you will not be slow to treat guests.

They are not afraid that the girls will not study hard. After all, the Bada Hutong is not a charity hall. Not to mention that the gang of turtle slaves are watching them every day. If they dare to be lazy, run away, or be perfunctory, they will be beaten.

Even those girls don't dare to be lazy. After all, only if they learn well can they stay in Qingyin Restaurant.

If you don't learn it well and can't serve the best customers, you will be sold to a teahouse, a lower house or a brothel. Then you might as well be in the Qingyin Inn.

And Xiang Nan saw at a glance that one of the few little girls was Juxian.

Because he was busy firing kilns these days, he didn't come to Bada Hutong for a few days. I didn't expect to see Juxian when I came today, what a coincidence.

Although she was only thirteen or fourteen years old now and looked a little immature, Xiang Nan recognized her easily.

"Sure enough, he's here." He was moved in his heart, but he didn't say anything, and continued to discuss business with Shopkeeper Sun.

…

After sitting down, Xiang Nan opened the package, revealing a small cup covered with cracks.

The whole body is covered with moon-white sparkling cyan glaze. The glaze is as warm as jade and as shiny as crisp. The light green-gray glaze is intertwined with black and yellow patterns, showing the characteristics of the "golden iron wire" of Song Ge Kiln. The opening curve is flexible. The whole vessel is dignified and steady, just like a Ge Kiln Bafang Cup.

"Master Duan, what are the regulations for your Ge Kiln Bafang Cup?" Shopkeeper Sun asked impatiently.

Ge Kiln is one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty, on par with Jun Kiln, Ding Kiln, Guan Kiln and Ru Kiln. And the number is very rare. According to statistics, there are only about a hundred pieces in the world. It can be said that each piece is a rare treasure.

Because of this, Shopkeeper Sun's eyes nearly popped out when Xiang Nan's Ge Kiln Bafang Cup was revealed. Such a good treasure, let alone buying and selling, if you are lucky enough to see it once, it is a rare talking point.

"We are old friends, and I won't play tricks with you." Xiang Nan took a mouthful of food and smiled slightly, "Fifty thousand yuan, take it if you like it."

"This..." Shopkeeper Sun gritted his teeth when he heard this.

The Ge Kiln Bafang Cup is so good that you may not be able to find a second one in the entire Liulichang. But 50,000 yuan is really expensive.

You must know that in these years of war and chaos, the people have not had enough to eat, and the rich would rather hoard gold than buy antiques. Therefore, the business of Liulichang has been affected, and it has become much deserted in recent years.

He was worried that if he bought it but couldn't sell it, he would be in trouble.

The girls present and the girls standing in front of them all opened their eyes in shock when they heard that just such a small cup was worth fifty thousand dollars.

Not to mention that the prostitution contracts of these little girls only cost ten yuan, even if they are red brand girls, they may not make a hundred or ten yuan a day.

Such a small cup is enough to buy a whole building full of flowers.

"Master Duan, no matter how good you are, it's hard to do business these days." Shopkeeper Sun begged.

Fifty thousand yuan to buy a Ge Kiln Bafang Cup is expensive but worth it. After all, there are countless such things in the world. But as a businessman, who wants to make a few more profits while investing his capital.

Xiang Nan smiled slightly and said nothing.

"Master Duan, please try this hot dried silk. It was made by a master specially invited by our mother from Yangzhou." Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, Caifeng greeted her with a smile.

"Yes, Mr. Duan, please try and see if the taste is authentic." Yuexian also said quickly.

"Well, this hot dried shredded silk tastes pretty good." Xiang Nan took a bite and said, "It's just a pity that the spring bamboo shoots used are those that have been left for a few days and are not fresh enough. If they were freshly unearthed winter bamboo shoots, That taste is truly amazing.

That's all, the capital doesn't produce bamboo shoots, so it's hard to be too demanding. It's just not satisfactory. "

"Master Duan, you are a real gourmet. You have eaten before and you can say 'unsatisfactory', which is already a compliment to him." Caifeng said flatteringly.

"You have a small mouth, I guess you can talk." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Let's do it, shopkeeper Sun, I'll be more skillful. For good luck, forty-eight thousand."

"If you continue..." Shopkeeper Sun still wanted to counteroffer.

Xiang Nan put on a straight face and stood up to leave.

"Ouch, ouch, Master Duan, please don't leave. It's so easy for you to come here. We are all eager to accompany you~" Caifeng and Yuexian quickly stopped him.

"Okay!" When Shopkeeper Sun saw this, he could only grit his teeth and said, "Forty-eight thousand is forty-eight thousand."
