Chapter 11 Earthy smell

This scene frightened everyone around.

They all praised this, how awesome it is.

Even the two buskers were frightened.

Runtu took advantage of this atmosphere and hurriedly collected the money.

He showed his true ability and many people were willing to give him money.

"Thanks."

"Thank you, brother."

After collecting them all, I received more than fifty articles.

I feel like the money is really good.

It's more than 50 yuan, so save some food, it's all the food expenses for more than ten days.

Busking is also a good job.

But there are also disadvantages. You can't perform in one place all the time.

If people see too many people in the same place, they will lose the sense of novelty.

The performers are all wandering around, and it’s not that they like to run around, but if they don’t go out and go around, there won’t be that many customers, and there won’t be more viewers willing to give money.

In the same place, with the same group of people, if you always perform the same few performances, you will easily get tired of it, and you won't be able to make much money by then.

After collecting the money, I was ready to leave.

The two artists from just now came up.

"Little brother, you are really talented. You can't bury this skill. Why don't you follow me and we can make money together."

Having a love for talent, he saw that Runtu was indeed a real person, unlike them, they just used some tricks.

Runtu looked at the two of them. Do you want to go out and perform in the world? This is not what you want.

What I want is to study and take exams, this is the most important thing.

Although the Qing Dynasty would not be around for more than ten years.

But in the past ten years or so, if I had an official position, it would be more convenient to do anything.

Even if you reject them.

"Little brother, we will stay in Kuaiji for a few more days. You can come to us anytime you want. By the way, who did you learn this unique skill from?"

He seems to have heard of the Kunlun Sect? But that one is in the Western Regions, very far away, and he doesn't look like Runtu.

"It's just a little trick, not a real skill. I'm leaving first."

Runtu checked the time. The sun was about to set. At dusk, he would go back to the inn to have dinner and have a rest. He would get up early tomorrow.

"Little brother, I have a request. Can you teach me this trick?"

If he learns this skill of breaking open monuments and cracking rocks, he can make more money when traveling around the world, even if it is just a small trick. Those who don't understand the blind trick will never understand it, but if he knows the secret, it will be a fool again.

Something that couldn't be simpler. He had seen Runtu's techniques and knew that this job wouldn't be that simple. Anyway, he couldn't see anything unusual.

Runtu didn't speak to him and left directly.

How to teach? There is no way to teach. I rely on spatial skills, so how can others learn it? Besides, even if it is an ordinary method, I cannot just teach it to others casually.

After getting more than fifty pence for free, Runtu planned to have a good meal at the restaurant.

"Let's have a pork belly with dried plums and vegetables, and a shredded radish pancake."

Two dishes cost more than 20 cents.

I still feel like I have less money.

If you perform a business by yourself, you can only eat two meals.

But if you want to eat outside.

One penny can buy a big steamed bun.

Don't eat so well, you'll be full for just two cents a meal.

You still have to enjoy it, the temptation of delicious food is quite great.

Just ate half of it.

Suddenly someone sat opposite him.

It made Runtu feel a little strange.

I don't know him.

"Little brother."

"Who are you?"

"I saw you before when the fifth master and the second master were fighting crickets."

Runtu became even more puzzled, "You want to see me for something?"

"I'll show you something good."

He took out a jade pendant from his pocket.

"Little brother, my name is Wang Mazi. Take a look at the fine mutton-fat jade. I think you are not a scholar, and you lack some decorative items on your waist. Look at this and this. Isn't it just right for you to wear?"

Runtu was still a little curious as to why this person came to look for him.

He saw the grasshopper fight in the restaurant this afternoon. He saw Runtu placing a bet for two taels of silver and winning another two taels of silver. Now Runtu had at least four taels of silver in his hand.

He thought Runtu was rich, so he came over and wanted to sell him something.

It's a good piece of jade that can be sold for more than ten taels of silver.

Wang Mazi was still a little anxious and saw that Runtu was unmoved and seemed not very interested in the jade pendant.

"Brother, why don't you try it and take a look."

Runtu was also worried that he would be deceived.

But when I think about my own space, I feel more confident.

I also thought about the bright side. If I was really deceived, it would be my own experience, and I would gain wisdom only after I have learned a lesson.

Runtu is now very discerning and has the ability to cheat. He now has many opportunities for trial and error, so there is no need to worry at all.

Take the jade pendant and take a look.

He didn't do much research on jade.

But looking at the crystal clear appearance, I thought it would be something good.

He asked curiously: "Brother, how much are you going to sell it for?"

"Fifteen taels of silver."

Runtu was stunned. He only had more than four taels of silver in total now.

I dared to sell this thing for more than ten taels, but I suddenly felt that my money was still too little.

You still need to prepare some money.

When I was about to return the jade pendant to him, I suddenly smelled it.

Runtu said: "There is a fishy smell of earth on the jade pendant."

"What does it smell like? Don't worry about it, little brother. Let's do this. If you want ten taels of silver, take it."

In his opinion, it wouldn't be too difficult for Runtu to spend two taels of silver as a bet and another ten taels of silver to buy things.

But what he didn't know was that when he made the bet, those two taels of silver were basically Runtu's entire net worth.

He lost five taels in one go. Indeed, this thing was found in the soil and was made by tomb robbers.

If the origin is incorrect, the items in the tomb will not be so easy to sell.

He immediately lowered the price.

But Runtu still didn't want it.

I didn’t really want it in the first place, and since I didn’t have that much money, I couldn’t afford it.

Wang Mazi felt a little disappointed and left.

Runtu continued to enjoy the delicious food.

For him, the most important thing at the moment is to test young students, test talents, and then promote people.

In this era, reputation is very important.

Scholars, peasants, industrialists and merchants should still be officials so that they can better break the situation.

Without an official status, I feel that many things I want to do will be hindered.

Finished the meal.

I washed my face and feet and lay on the bed.

You can get up at six o'clock tomorrow.

Before lying on the bed and going to bed, I also reviewed the content of today's class.

The content of the class is easy to understand.

The key is to memorize everything.
