Ye Ming didn't care about it, he just wanted to stay away from Fu Xiyuan.
Zhang Mu was very happy and offered a few words of congratulations.
Finally, Ye Ming said that he and that female classmate would treat Zhang Mu to a meal in a few days, and then hung up the phone.
He nodded in agreement, thinking that sparks might fly between the two of them.
Put away your phone and go to sleep.
Chapter 20 Crystal Jewelry Shop and Cass Town Specialties
He was pretending to be worried and slept lightly. When the sky turned pale, Zhang Mu opened his eyes.
I got up, washed, and went to the other world first. I asked Potter for half a day off. After I came back, I checked my inventory and prepared to go out.
"specialty?"
When he saw the small cloth bag in the square, he remembered that it was a specialty of Cass Town given to him by the grocery store owner yesterday.
After untying the hemp rope at the end of the drawstring, I found that it was full of sparkling gems.
Pinch one out and look at it in the morning light. It is extremely transparent and you can see the yellow and green colors complementing each other.
It's a pity that the gem has no magical fluctuations, it's just an ordinary crystal ore. No wonder the owner said it's not valuable.
In the other world, valuable objects all have magical powers.
As for the reality, Zhang Mu didn't know much about it. He only knew that the value of a gem, in addition to its texture, seemed to have something to do with the certificate.
Throw it back into the bag, put the cloth bag back into the inventory, take your phone with you, go out, and take a taxi at the entrance of the community to the pedestrian street.
Sitting in the back seat of the taxi, my thoughts were in a tizzy.
Just had a quick chat with Potter about learning new magic.
After all, it is a supernatural power that does not exist in the real world. It would be a lie to say that I am not interested in it. It’s just that my mind was fully focused on solving lung cancer some time ago and I didn’t consider magic for the time being.
Now that lung cancer has been brought under control, my mind has relaxed and I naturally became interested in magic.
In response, Potter refused, using the excuse that the mental power limit of meditation was not enough to learn new magic.
Although his meditation method successfully broke through the theoretical limit with the help of the panel, Zhang Mu did not show it.
Because he keenly realized that although Potter's reason was sufficient, the real reason was other.
Potter seemed to be worried about something.
Can't figure it out.
Then don’t think about it for now.
Because we're in the right place.
The taxi stopped at the entrance of the pedestrian street. Zhang Mu paid the bill and got off the car. He put on a mask and went to the gold shop to sell four gold coins.
Four is just right, not too many to attract attention, and more than 20,000 yuan is enough for the time being.
Zhang Mu had no intention of selling the remaining items as he would need money in the other world.
Although it is possible to exchange it for rare alienated herbs, the principle of not showing off your wealth applies to any place where there are people.
Especially in the other world where the law of the jungle prevails and the order is more chaotic.
After coming out of the gold shop, Zhang Mu recalled the address Song Lan gave him yesterday and turned right at the end of the street.
This pedestrian street was quite busy, but not very long. He walked along the sidewalk and reached his destination in about ten minutes.
Looking around, she found that her shop was not on the street, but twenty meters into the alley between two rows of storefronts.
Zhang Mu complained in his heart. It was the end of the street with little traffic and there was no sign at the entrance. How could this damn place have any business?
Shaking his head, he walked into the alley.
……
In the jewelry shop, which is about 30 square meters, there are circles of glass display cabinets along three walls.
Song Lan sat in the back with the phone pressed to her ear.
"I know!"
"You silly girl, don't just agree with your mouth, I don't understand what you young girls are thinking.
When choosing a man, you need to look at his ability. Having facial hair alone is useless. After thirty years, it will just turn into bark. "
"Zhang Mu is very capable." Song Lan was not convinced.
"Force?" Su Biqing on the other end of the phone sneered, "Force him to return the money to you and make your store profitable."
"He didn't study jewelry marketing..."
"Still talking back, huh?"
"Sister Biqing, I have something to do. I'll hang up first." Song Lan's scalp numbed after being scolded, and she found an excuse to hang up the phone.
She threw her cell phone onto the glass table and lay down on the table listlessly like a wilted flower.
In the past, Su Biqing said that Zhang Mu was not someone she could argue with, but last night Su Biqing ran to find Zhang Mu and actually saw him.
This left Song Lan with no courage to retort.
Especially Su Biqing's words, "You said he has a good character, but why did he take your money and not even visit you?" She was speechless.
Song Lan pursed his lips and muttered, "You always call me a fool, but I'm not stupid. Brother Mu is a good man. He must have other reasons for avoiding me."
"咚咚-"
There was a knock on the glass door. She looked up and saw a man wearing a mask standing at the door.
Her temperament is profound, like the only fire in the dark forest, attracting attention unconsciously.
"What kind of jewelry do you need? For yourself or as a gift?" She used the sales skills she learned from extra classes to receive the customer.
The man's eyes became a little strange, and then he showed enlightenment.
He raised his hand to take off his mask, and a familiar voice came: "Don't you recognize me?"
"Brother Mu?!" Song Lan yelled, walked around the counter from the right, grabbed his sleeve and jumped up and down, "How could I not know you? I have a photo of you that I secretly took in my phone... Uh."
"You've changed so much, hehe." Song Lan loosened his sleeves, smiled foolishly, and scratched his hair.
Waving his hands, Zhang Mu looked around and said, "I thought you were joking, but are you really going to open a jewelry store?"
How is business?
He forced the words back, thinking that the situation in the store made it seem inappropriate to say it.
"Just satisfy yourself."
Song Lan brought two high stools, and the two of them sat down next to the display case. Zhang Mu took out two bank cards from his pocket and handed them over:
"It's a small world. The doctor I saw turned out to be your dad."
"It's not surprising." Song Lan pretended not to see the bank card and said to herself, "My father is the best lung cancer doctor in Su City.
If you treat lung cancer, sooner or later it will find its way to him."
"Okay, what are you pretending for? Take it."
"Oh……"
Knowing Zhang Mu's character, Song Lan took the bank card honestly and said, "Brother Mu, I heard from my father that your condition is under control and there is a great hope of recovery.
Why don't you just take the money and use it first?"
As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Zhang Mu's face and was sure in her heart that it had indeed become much more refined.
And her temperament is just like a purple crystal hidden in a pile of broken stones. At a glance, the horse can immediately see the dazzling brilliance.
"I have enough money for now." Waving his hand to refuse, Zhang Mu looked at the crystal necklace in the glass display case and asked, "Xiao Lan, does the value of the gem have anything to do with its color?"
"Of course." Song Lan followed his gaze and looked, "Same color, if it's an inclusion, then the value will be higher.
The exact amount depends on the shape of the inclusion.”
Zhang Mu knew a little about inclusions, which refer to various strange-shaped mineral aggregates inside the crystal.
There are shapes like scattered hair, mountains, rivers, and so on, which best reflect the wonders of nature.
Zhang Mu stood up and walked around the display case, and found that they were all ordinary colored crystals, with only a few having inclusions, and their shapes were very ordinary.
After pinching his chin and thinking for a while, he ran out of the store under the pretext of going to the restroom, hid in an empty corner, and took out a crystal gem that reflected a faint blue color from the inventory.
Kumquat size.
The specialty given by the owner of the grocery store in Cass Town, almost every one of them has inclusions, and most importantly...
Zhang Mu's magic power wrapped around the gem, and the inclusion changed into the shape of a rabbit as he wished, with even the eyes clearly visible.
“Not cheap, right?”
Turning back to the shop, he pretended to take out a gem from his trouser pocket: "Look at this."
Song Lan pinched two fingers and raised them up: "Oh my god! What a cute rabbit!"
"Brother Mu, where are you from?!"
"It's a coincidence." Zhang Mu responded, "Please help test the quality. If the price is high, I still have more."
"Really!"
Song Lan was very excited to hear that there was more.
The reason why her business was poor was not only because her store was located in a remote area, but also because she lacked the supply of high-quality crystal gemstones, and could not make a name for herself.
"Yeah." Zhang Mu nodded and checked his phone. "It's already past ten o'clock. I have something else to do. I'll leave first. Let me know if you have any news."
After saying that, he got up and left.
The action was so quick that before Song Lan could even say she wanted to invite him to stay for lunch, he had already disappeared out the door.
Her eyes fell back on the gemstone, and she was dazzled: "I have seen a lot of pictures of out-of-print crystals, but I have never seen such standard inclusions.
It's just like... it's just like it was carved by a master."
After admiring it for a while, she quickly picked up her phone and called Su Biqing.
