Chapter 73 Encounter with Honan and Hosi

Fulu Pawn Shop.

Liu Yuhan was already quite experienced in selling things. When he saw the pawnshop owner, he took out a 20-gram ancient gold ring and a 50-gram ancient gold bracelet.

This brings us back to Xiaopang, as these are two of the five gold medals he gave away.

She had previously sold a large 100-gram traditional gold bracelet for 1000 taels, which helped her a lot. The remaining gold necklace and gold earrings were very finely crafted and modern, so she kept them.

The shopkeeper couldn't let go of the sparkling gold rings and gold bracelets!

The workmanship and brightness of this thing, this is a fine thing! He has never seen such fine workmanship, and it is polished to such a bright finish.

The pawnshop owner asked them to name their prices. Liu Yuhan held up a finger. She wasn't entirely sure. The bracelet weighed 70 grams, 100 grams less than the 30-gram one. She wondered if she could get that price.

"Miss, are you really asking for a price? 1000 taels is too much..."

"Shopkeeper, let alone the weight, even the workmanship is rare in the entire Nanlin Kingdom. After all, this is the work of a master, a treasure handed down from generation to generation, and it is worth collecting even if it costs ten thousand taels... The three of us are just running errands for the master. If you can't offer this price, we can only look for another seller." Liu Yuhan picked up the things and led the way.

"Ah, ah, ah... This little girl is a little impatient. Come over here so we can talk."

Liu Yuhan looked at the shopkeeper quietly without saying a word.

The shopkeeper sighed helplessly and thought that he could only find a wealthy client to sell it to at a high price.

The two people standing next to the little girl are not easy to deal with.

Today's work was not in vain. I just killed two small fish.

"Okay then, that's the price. I'll go get the banknotes. Please wait."

"Boss, please give me 300 taels of silver in cash and 700 taels of silver notes."

"alright, please wait."

Liu Yuhan put the banknotes away and placed them in her space. Her father took the cash and found a place where no one was around, and Liu Yuhan also put it in her space.

The three of them turned a street and when they saw that no one was following them, they started strolling around.

After solving the most important thing, the rest naturally came down to visiting the bookstore and the pharmacy.

Yuncheng Bookstore was huge, with two floors. The lower floor mainly sold common pens, inkstones, paper, and inkstones, as well as books for beginners and some strange stories. It even had the Classic of Mountains and Seas! Liu Yuhan bought it; the book was very thick and cost him five taels of silver.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas contains a wealth of information on ancient geography, history, mythology, astronomy, animals, plants, medicine, religion, anthropology, ethnology, oceanography, and the history of science and technology. It is an encyclopedia of ancient social life and is well worth reading.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas, the Book of Changes, and the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine are considered the three great ancient books. The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine focuses on medicine, and Liu Yuhan is currently reading it. Unfortunately, the Book of Changes is not available in bookstores.

A line from the Book of Changes, Qian: "Heaven moves with vigor; the gentleman strives for self-improvement." This line was once Liu Yuhan's motto during her studies and work. She wrote it down with a brush, framed it, and hung it in her bedroom.

The upper floor of the bookstore naturally sells expensive writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, such as wolf-hair and purple-hair brushes.

Wolf hair brushes are made from weasel tails, have a strong brush stroke, and are suitable for calligraphy and painting.

Of course, the most expensive is the purple hair brush. As the saying goes, "The purple hair brush is as sharp as a cone and as sharp as a knife." "There is an old rabbit on a stone in the south of the Yangtze River, eating bamboo and drinking spring water to produce purple hair." The purple hair brush is usually made from the hair on the back of a wild rabbit, and gets its name from its black-purple fur.

"Purple-hair brushes are as valuable as gold." Liu Yuhan was stunned. A top-quality purple-hair brush could fetch a hundred taels! It was truly the Hermès of pens.

"Sister, isn't this too expensive? If Grandfather knew, he would definitely beat me..."

"Second brother, if you don't tell me and I don't tell me, then grandpa won't know."

"Grandfather has a great pen. We'll give it to him at his birthday party. He'll definitely be very happy."

"The jade bracelet that mother left for you was only exchanged for this pen. When will we save enough money to redeem the bracelet? Brother won't let us touch mother... If he knew, he would definitely beat me..."

Liu Yuhan looked at the ancient brush and thought about how she had accumulated so many wolf-hair and purple-hair brushes, both used and unused, thanks to her calligraphy practice and the prizes she had won. Wasn't that a win for her?

As I was engrossed in watching, I heard two voices whispering to each other nearby.

She couldn't help but look over and saw two boys and girls about eleven or twelve years old.

The boy was a bit stocky, with a round, rosy face, and his big eyes were nervously looking at the pen in the girl's hand.

The girl is quiet and reserved, with beautiful facial features and bright and clear eyes. At this moment, she is holding a pen in her hand and can't let it go.

Huo Xi knew she shouldn't pawn the things her mother had given her. After all, the box beside her bed contained her most beloved treasures, birthday gifts from her parents over the past seven years. Each gift carried a deep sense of nostalgia and dependence.

Usually, Nanny Fu is very strict, and her brother doesn't allow them to wander around. It's difficult for them to make their own decisions about money when they grow up. Today, it happened that her brother was not at home, and Nanny Fu was not at home either, so she and her second brother sneaked out.

The bracelet she pawned was the last birthday gift her mother gave her before she died. Every time she saw it, she felt sad. She wanted to pawn it, but she just wanted her mother to still be alive.

"Let's buy it first. We still have some silver left. Let's buy some food for Xiaobei."

"Brother and Aunt Fu won't let Xiaobei eat anything else...so we can secretly give him some. He likes candied haws, so let's give him one."

"Okay, let's go down. It's time to go back home."

"Well, hurry up and go. My standing time hasn't come yet, and I haven't practiced with my spear yet. Huo Yi will definitely complain, and my brother will definitely beat me up when he comes back..."

Liu Yuhan...Isn't it possible that your brother is a fierce person?

The two men left in a hurry. Behind them, out of their sight, followed a woman and a man. They were Huo Wu and Huo Ba.

Liu Yuhan and his parents went shopping and only bought the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

It’s a bit late, so I’ll look for a big pharmacy tomorrow to see if it has anything good. I passed by a restaurant and ordered some food, then went back to the inn after eating.

Liu Yuhan entered the space and looked at the medicinal materials area. The medicinal materials were growing well. The bamboo ginseng and black ginseng had also grown. The survival rate was 80%, and there were dozens of each.

I spent an hour plowing the land non-stop, first plowing out a small area to plant rice seedlings, and then planting the rest of the field. After planting, I guess the corn will be ready for harvest. I really can't stop, I can't stop...

Tomato and watermelon seeds are completely air-dried. First, disinfect the seeds by placing them in clean water with a small amount of salt and soaking them for at least 10 minutes to kill any bacteria and viruses and increase germination. Place the disinfected seeds in water at 50°C to 60°C for about 10 minutes to break dormancy and promote germination.

Dig holes in the prepared soil, sow the seeds in the holes, and cover with a thin layer of soil, but do not bury them too deep. Keep the soil moist after sowing. The seeds will usually germinate within 3 to 4 days after sowing.

After planting the tomatoes and watermelons, Liu Yuhan left the space and went to sleep.
