I trade in both worlds

"Yes, but I didn't say she was childless. She has a son who is currently studying in the capital city. It is said that he is quite talented."

"Ah, she has a physique that is easy to get pregnant." Xu Ziqing exclaimed.

Xu Xu blushed at her explicit words: "What are you talking about?"

Xu Ziqing looked at her strangely: "You can blush like this, how long have you been learning 5G surfing? There are even more explicit things on the Internet."

"I won't talk to you anymore." Xu Xu quickened his pace and walked forward.

"Hey, wait a minute." Xu Ziqing chased after him and asked, "Did Sister Feng know that her husband was ill before they got married?"

"Yes, Fengjie was a child bride. Her husband was a premature baby and had poor health since childhood. Fengjie is five years older than her husband. She was sold to her husband's family as a child bride when she was seven or eight years old. It can be said that she raised her husband by herself."

When Xu Ziqing heard the word "child bride", he began to automatically imagine: "Child bride, because her husband is in poor health, so she was bought by her husband's family to carry on the family line?"

"I don't know about that, but her in-laws treated her very well." Xu Xu explained, "I also heard that her husband was already very ill before she got married. A relative of her husband's family suggested a wedding to bring good luck, and Feng Jie herself wanted to try it, and then they got married."

"Weddings for good fortune, child brides, these are all feudal dregs. I don't know how many women have been ruined by these dregs." Xu Ziqing said angrily.

Xu Xu patted her with a smile: "Well, Sister Feng is doing well now, not as miserable as you think."

"So how did she become the manager of Jinxiu Pavilion?" After talking for a long time, he returned to the original question.

"How would I know that?" Xu Xu spread his hands and said, "Okay, look, that's the porcelain shop in the market."

There are two porcelain shops in the county town. One of them is close to the market and mainly sells earthenware. It also sells some ceramic bowls, plates and jars, but they are all ordinary coarse pottery.

Xu Ziqing stood at the door of the store and looked around: "Let's go, this store doesn't even have good ceramics, let alone ice cracks, let's go to another one to have a look."

The other one is located in the wealthy area west of the county town, doing business for the wealthy. This store mainly sells ceramic daily necessities and also has a small number of vases.

The porcelain sold in the store is all good. Xu Ziqing has never seen what high-end porcelain looks like, nor does he understand porcelain, but the porcelain in the store has a soft luster and a bright and transparent texture, which makes people feel comfortable just by looking at it.

Xu Ziqing walked into the store and looked around, touched things here and there, but the shopkeeper ignored her and just sat at the counter reading his book.

After looking through all the porcelain in the store, Xu Ziqing didn't find any porcelain with ice cracks. He estimated that it would be impossible to find it in this small county town, and wondered whether there would be any in the provincial capital.

Xu Ziqing pulled Xu Xu aside and whispered, "They don't sell it here. Are you sure they're available in Dayun Dynasty?"

After that, he walked directly to the counter and tapped the table lightly: "Shopkeeper."

"Sir, do you like anything?" The shopkeeper put down the book in his hand, stood up and asked with a smile.

"Shopkeeper, I've seen a kind of porcelain before that looks like it's cracked into pieces. Do you know where I can buy it?" Xu Ziqing asked while gesturing with his hands.

"Ge Kiln?" The shopkeeper looked at her in surprise.

"Yeah, if the appearance is as I described, then that's it." Xu Ziqing thought seriously about the information he found on the Internet.

Ice crackle kiln was called "Ge kiln" in the Song Dynasty. It was one of the five famous kilns in the Song Dynasty and was famous for its crackle pattern. But I didn't expect that it was also called Ge kiln in the Dayun Dynasty.

The shopkeeper looked at her like an idiot: "Girl, this is a tribute, it is not sold outside."

“Ah, I can’t buy it?” If it can’t be sold, can she still sell it wholesale?

The shopkeeper paused and said, "If you want to buy it, you have to rely on luck."

"Luck? I don't understand." Xu Ziqing opened his eyes wide, full of desire to know: "What kind of luck do I need?"

The shopkeeper stared at him speechlessly, opened his mouth several times, and finally sighed deeply: "I don't have it here, girl, go look somewhere else."

After saying that, he turned around, sat down, picked up the book and continued reading.

Xu Ziqing looked at him with a look that said, "I don't want to talk," and could only leave with Xu Xu helplessly.

"How about we go back and ask Sister Feng?" Xu Xu said after thinking for a while.

"That's fine. If we had known earlier, we would have brought two samples with us." Xu Ziqing was a little annoyed.

"That won't work. We can't take out that small jar. It's not available on the market and the price should be expensive. We can only take out one at most. If we take more, there might be problems."

Since he was going to sell it, Xu Xu thought he must sell a big one, as the big one would command a higher price.

Xu Ziqing thought about it and suddenly felt that it was not appropriate: "Forget it, we have never seen the style of Dayun Dynasty. In modern times, ice crack porcelain is much more mature than it is now. No, it is better not to take it out."

Xu Xu thought deeply about it and broke out in a cold sweat: "We didn't think it through. Currently, only Ge Kiln has ice cracks. If we take out a piece of porcelain with a higher quality than Ge Kiln, it will be a disaster."

Xu Ziqing was also terrified. A product that did not conform to the production technology of the time appeared in the era of imperial power. They were reckless and always thought about making quick money by reselling, but some money could not be earned.

The two of them stood blankly at the street corner and began to reflect for a while. Passersby would turn around and look at them curiously.

Xu Ziqing was first awakened by the gazes of passers-by. Seeing that everyone was staring at them with strange eyes, he hurriedly pulled Xu Xu and quickened his pace forward.

"Okay, we have to think twice before taking anything from here in the future."

Seeing a pastry shop in front, Xu Ziqing shook Xu Xu's arm, pointed at the shop and said, "Xu Xu, there's a pastry shop in front. Is that shop delicious? Let's go buy some pastries."

Xu Xu looked over. She knew that pastry shop. It was very famous in the county. Not only was it famous for its delicious food, it was also famous for its expensive prices.

"It's delicious. Sister Feng gave me some of their cakes before."

"Then let's buy some and take it back." After saying that, he walked into the store.

Xu Xu followed him in and saw the mung bean cakes and osmanthus cakes that Xu Tiantian had eaten in the morning. The prices were also very attractive, with mung bean cakes costing 18 wen per pound and osmanthus cakes costing 25 wen per pound.

The pastries here are all very large, not as delicate as modern ones. Each piece is about the size of a palm, and you can cut it according to your preference when you get home.

Xu Ziqing stared at a white rice cake and asked, "Waiter, what is this?"

The waiter who had followed Xu Ziqing since she entered the store introduced it: "Five-spice cake."

"how much is it?"

"Fifty cents a pound."

"So expensive?" Xu Ziqing was stunned. Just one rice cake costs 50 yuan per catty. This cake looks very heavy, and one catty probably only costs a few yuan.
