I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Heita turned his head and looked towards the window, no longer looking at Ji Xiaobei.

The woman's large figure and aggressive look made his feet feel numb and painful again!

Forget it, a good man doesn’t play with women. I’m not a stingy person. It’s just a wild chicken!

He squeezed the copper coins in his pocket, reached out to open the window, and with a click, the entire window was pulled down by him.

He held half of the window, somewhat awkwardly...

"It's okay, it has to be fixed anyway, just fix it last!"

Ji Xiaobei gave a brief explanation and went out for a walk.

Heita was very satisfied with his considerate owner and did not dislike his strength.

She locked the small room inside and blocked it with tables, chairs and benches, so he would probably not look inside.

Last time Zheng Guo wrote to me, he said that the gold hairpin worth one or two taels of silver was identified as an antique, but he didn’t know how much it could be sold for?

It would be nice if I could make some profit from the price difference. One tael of silver is probably equivalent to one thousand yuan in modern times.

Maybe, probably, she doesn't know either.

If I can sell it for 1500 yuan, I'll make a profit.

No, since the antique dealer has contacted my mother, it must be very valuable.

She was so happy that she went to the only silver shop in town.

The jewelry store had just opened and the waiter was cleaning the counter listlessly. When he saw Ji Xiaobei come in, he said something lazily.

"Sir, what would you like to order?" But he did not move.

Ji Xiaobei didn't care. No one was following him, so he felt more comfortable just looking around.

"How much is this headpiece?" Ji Xiaobei asked, pointing at a headpiece that was glittering and dotted with diamonds.

"That one is not for sale. It was custom-made for someone else. Here are some ordinary hairpins and rings. You can take a look." The young man didn't even raise his eyelids.

"Which side? You asked me which side of the hairpin to look at? You didn't even blink, but I know which one you are talking about." Ji Xiaobei despised such lazy people the most.

Ji Xiaobei's voice was quite loud, and the sound was lingering in the shop.

The young man was startled and looked up at Ji Xiaobei, a tall and majestic woman.

He hurriedly smiled and said, "Madam, this way, this way!"

"I want to see this headdress." Ji Xiaobei pointed at the golden headdress.

Her head is a little big to wear it, but it’s okay to just look at it.

"Of course, please wait a moment, sir." The waiter ran to get the key.

He took out the headgear with both hands and placed it on the table.

"How much silver is this?" Ji Xiaobei asked with a thieving look.

"Sir, this can be customized according to your needs. A headpiece like this will cost about 100 taels of silver!"

Ji Xiaobei took a deep breath. It was too expensive. She took a few steps back, afraid that she would not be able to afford the compensation if she accidentally broke it.

"Okay, let me try this one!" Ji Xiaobei set his sights on a silver hairpin.

The young man smiled in his heart but did not dare to show it on his face. He quickly put away his head ornaments and took out the silver hairpin.

"Sir, this looks good on you. Look at the pattern, it matches your temperament so well! And it costs 50 coins... If you want a gold one, that's fine too. Here we have gold-plated silver ones, which are very cheap. One like this only costs 80 coins, and no one can tell it's gold-plated silver. It's a good deal..."

The young man spoke earnestly.

"Can this be customized? If you order more, can it be cheaper?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

"Yes, yes, sir!"

"Okay, I get it, put it away!"

Little guy:......

On the other side are some jade ornaments.

It ranges from a few cents to dozens of cents.

The transparency of the material is much worse than that of Bing Xixi.

Wholesale on 1688, very cheap.

Things made with modern technology are much more refined than this.

"Sir, take care!" The waiter respectfully escorted Ji Xiaobei out.

Ji Xiaobei was not strolling around. She was thinking that it was okay for her mother to sell antiques once or twice, but how could she sell antiques every day?

If it were possible to sell gold and silver hairpins at a cheaper price, wouldn't that be possible? They only cost one or two hundred yuan, and people would buy them to play with, and no one would think they were expensive.

Write a letter to mom tonight, and if possible, go to the county silver shop to have a look, maybe it will be cheaper there.

Let mother go to 1688 to wholesale some beads, glass and other things, maybe they can sell.

She was pondering in her mind and unknowingly walked to the door of the grain shop, where there was a long line of people.

"Hurry up, there is no food left. Otherwise we will have to queue up tomorrow." The two old women said as they ran.

Ji Xiaobei stopped a man and asked, "Uncle, didn't you say that the county would open a warehouse?"

"Who knows if it will bloom or not? Look at the yellow sand today. This year's crops will have reduced yields or even a total loss..." The uncle didn't even finish his words before he ran to queue up.

People were skeptical about the news of the grain release from Kaiping warehouses, and the grain in the town would probably be sold out quickly.

The food in her hands could be sold soon.

She quickened her pace and walked towards her shop.

Heita had just carried back two pieces of wood as thick as his thighs, which he had split into planks. There was a layer of white wood chips on the ground.

He worked very hard and was sweating all over.

The dim sunlight is overhead, it's time for lunch.

"Hey, Heita, are we going to the restaurant for lunch or buying food to eat at home?" Ji Xiaobei asked loudly.

"I can hear you, I'm not deaf!" The man put down the axe in his hand, looking surprised, "How do you know my name is Black Tower?"

Ji Xiaobei: The name fits the person!

Heita scratched his head, chuckled, and thought to himself: This woman seems to be smarter than me.

He said, "The window has been taken down. It must be installed before dark. Otherwise, if you lose something, I can't afford to compensate you."

Ji Xiaobei: …

She ignored him and strode to the donkey meat pancake shop, bought two bowls of donkey soup and ten donkey meat pancakes.

She put five pancakes and a bowl of soup at the door and went into the house to eat.

The donkey meat pancakes in this restaurant are delicious. She ate five of them in one go and gulped down a bowl of donkey offal soup.

Looking outside, I saw that Heita had not yet finished his steamed bun, and he was eating it quite politely.

Ji Xiaobei: The way this man eats is quite different from his appearance.

The pretty boy Ma Haixia eats as if someone is pulling something down in his stomach. He is a very polite and educated man, but he eats like a hungry wolf.

Heita looks as strong as a black bear, but eats like a lady!

Damn it, the more I looked at him, the more awkward it felt. I simply laid down on the table and didn't look at him, so I wouldn't lose control of my anger and grab the pancake to eat for him.

It was obvious that Heita had never been hungry. It was the first time she saw someone eating so slowly when she came to this place.

Heita felt two hot gazes directed at him.

He turned around with the bowl in his hand, leaving Ji Xiaobei with a generous back.

"Bah, you look really irritated when you eat!" She lay down on the table, thinking about her worries.

The first year I came here, there was a famine.

She was not worried about having a hard time. She was worried about the bad year, when everyone would have a hard time. If she built a house or bought land, it would easily arouse suspicion.

When people are poor, they can do anything, and she doesn't want to be the center of attention.

As for the grain, she had to find a wealthy family that could consume it and sell it all at once to avoid getting herself into trouble.

She hopes that the child can be born safely and that she can live a peaceful and quiet life.

Half an hour later, the man finished eating and finally started to work.

Although the man is rougher than a thousand-year-old rotten wood, he still does his work very carefully.

The boards were very thick and the doors and windows were nailed firmly. She shook them with her hands, but they didn't move at all.

She was satisfied.

As it was getting dark, the window was fixed and Black Tower reinforced the door without saying a word.

Ji Xiaobei sat in the shop bored, dozing with his head down.

Suddenly, I felt the view in the room darken.

The door is closed!

Heita entered the house.
