Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2147 Picture within the Picture 149.0

Madam Ning and her family decided to settle in Jiapingguan City, which was particularly good news for everyone. Everyone was relieved, at least their safety was guaranteed.

"What store does the old lady plan to open?" Shen Cha looked at the snacks in his hand and was a little curious, "Do you want to sell pastries?"

"I do have this idea." Mrs. Ning nodded, looked at Ning Cheng who sat back to eat, and shook her head helplessly, "I haven't thought about the details yet, but the path is almost in this direction. What do you think? Is it possible?"

"It's feasible. The original idea behind the establishment of Jiapingguan City was to turn this place into a prosperous place. We should also have what other cities and counties have." Shen Cha smiled, "As long as we abide by the laws, we can open it here." We welcome all purchases and sales.”

"With your words, I feel relieved. Obeying the law is the most basic thing. You don't have to worry about this. Our Wang family has only been doing business for a day or two. We still have this reputation." Old Mrs. Ning pointed. Ning Cheng said, "His sister's craftsmanship is better than mine. I will be responsible for coming up with some recipes, and her sister will do the rest. If the shop can be opened, the business will not be bad. Besides, I am not the only one here." The pastry recipe, if the business is booming in the future, I might make something else.”

"Yes!" Ning Cheng swallowed the pastry in her mouth, took a sip of tea to smooth it down, and said, "During this period, I also observed the pastry shops in the city. There are some, but the taste and style are relatively single. , The taste is not particularly good. Of course, there are one or two that make it well, but they are far inferior to the craftsmanship of my sister and mother. "

"That's true." Shen Cha nodded, "Because everyone's life is just enough to have enough food and clothing, and cakes are not necessary for daily life, so we don't pursue this. But there are many people who have never seen this kind of exquisite appearance. The reason for the sweet tasting pastry.”

"So, I think if our shop can be opened, it can make up for the lack in this area, right?"

"That makes sense. Nowadays, many people's lives have improved a lot. Instead of letting them pursue the weird gadgets of merchants from the Western Regions, it is better to pursue our own." Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Cha. Jin Miaomiao said, "right?"

"I support it." Jin Miaomiao nodded and agreed with Xue Ruitian. She looked at Mrs. Ning and said, "If you open a shop, I will definitely go there often to support you. We still like sweets."

"If you want to eat, just tell us and let this little guy bring it to you. There is no need to spend money."

"That won't work. Friendship is friendship, and business is business. They can't be confused." Xue Ruitian waved his hand, "You don't have to argue with us about this matter. There are no bosses who have good relations with us. Leave us and go to the city." There are also many brothers who are doing business, and we still pay as much as we need, and we can’t give less.”

"Okay!" Mrs. Ning knew that she couldn't defeat them, so she could only give up and compete with them again. "You said yesterday, what do you want to ask me?"

"Yes!" Xue Ruitian nodded and told all the strange things about the chart. "After it was painted with special water, this is what showed up in the dark." As he spoke, he took out the drawings he had made before. He handed the picture to Mrs. Ning and said, "Have you seen these?"

"This." Mrs. Ning looked at the picture Xue Ruitian handed her, frowned slightly, and said, "If I read it correctly, it should be Sanskrit, right?" She glanced at Xue Ruitian, "Are you sure you can write it yourself? correct?"

"Not sure." Xue Ruitian shook his head firmly, "We have learned everything but Sanskrit, so we can only imitate the cat."

"Yes, Sanskrit seems to be very complicated to write. Even if you follow it, you can't write it down completely." Shen Cha nodded, "This is only a very small part. The whole picture is full of such words and symbols. "We have no idea what this means, and we don't understand why they write these things on the sea chart." "We have never been to the sea, so we don't understand the meaning of these Sanskrit words," Shen Haolin looked at Mrs. Ning, "So, still." Please give me some advice, old lady, if there is anything hidden in this."

"There must be a hidden secret, otherwise we wouldn't be able to do it so secretly, but it has nothing to do with going out to sea, and these are not the words and symbols commonly used by people who run boats. If I read it correctly, it should be Tianzhu's Language and symbols. The language of the Tianzhu people is Sanskrit. Some of the signs and symbols they use are related to Sanskrit. Maybe this picture comes from Tianzhu?" Mrs. Ning frowned slightly and looked at Ning Cheng, "Have you seen Ning Cheng? Do the family members have any contact with people from Tianzhu?"

"People from Tianzhu?" Ning Cheng thought for a while and shook his head slightly, "There may be some, but I have never seen them, because we are not allowed to go to the front. Even if we go out, we have to enter and exit through the backyard door. So, We have no idea what kind of guests are in the front yard.”

"What the old lady means is that the Ning family may have contacts with the Tianzhu people?"

"It's possible." Mrs. Ning thought for a while, "Actually, I also have a lot of collections from Tianzhu at home, but I'm not very proficient in Sanskrit. I can only understand a little bit, but the sentences you copied are not complete. Yeah, I can’t quite explain what this means.”

"Since it's in Sanskrit, why don't you go find a great monk and find out?"

"Not necessarily." Mrs. Ning shook her head gently, "A monk can understand Sanskrit, but he may not be able to understand this."

"Then what should we do?" Jin Miaomiao spread his hands, "My master should be able to understand, but unfortunately, the old man has already left Hexi!"

After hearing Jin Miaomiao's words, Shen Cha looked thoughtfully at the picture that Mrs. Ning put on the table. After thinking for a long time, she turned to look at Shen Haolin. The two of them exchanged a look, and at the same time showed a hint of smile. Smile.

"What are you two thinking of?"

"I thought of a more suitable candidate." Shen Cha chuckled and waved to Merlin, "Come!"

Merlin leaned over and heard Shen Cha whispering something to her, and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Boss, are you sure?"

"Sure." Shen Cha nodded lightly, "Go find Xiao Wu to deliver the letter, hurry!"
