Chapter 64

"You are not the best cricket." Jiang Shanqing raised his head and hit him mercilessly.

"Why do you say that, do you know crickets? I'm afraid you haven't even played crickets!" Zhou Muyi's face flushed immediately, he would never allow anyone to question his General Yum.

"I really understand." Jiang Shanqing replied with a smile, "generally divided into five grades, red and white hemp head, gold neck, gold wings, gold and silver silk forehead, top grade, jute head next, your cricket, green and brown If there are yellow and brown spots in the middle, it is not pure blue, but it is inferior."

Zhou Muyi didn't understand everything Jiang Shanqing said, but Zhou Muyi still knew that his general was not the best cricket.

"But this is already very rare. I bought this general after visiting several markets." Zhou Muyi had already believed Jiang Shanqing's words, and his tone was a little depressed.

"Good crickets are not bought, but raised. Those who raise insects are like raising soldiers, and those who select insects are like choosing generals. When you have experience, you can raise the best crickets." Jiang Shanqing stood up and took a picture. Clap the dust on your hands and say.

Zhou Muyi nodded thoughtfully, but looked at Jiang Shanqing suspiciously, and asked, "How do you know so much? It's rare that you can play with crickets when you were born?"

Jiang Shanqing was silent, with some reminiscence in his expression. His father liked to play with crickets since he was young, and he did a lot of research on it. What he knew was taught to him by his father. How about the best cricket.

Seeing that Jiang Shanqing didn't speak, Zhou Muyi didn't continue to ask this question, but instead asked the question he was most concerned about, "Then where can I find the first-class cricket you mentioned?"

"Go to the countryside and try your luck. If you go in early autumn, you may be able to find such crickets." Jiang Shanqing suddenly replied in a dull mood, and stopped talking about crickets after saying this.

Zhou Muyi suddenly felt that Jiang Shanqing was a very magical person. He was obviously a kid, but he seemed to understand everything, and he didn't speak or behave like a child at all. He felt very out of character.

"Are you..." Zhou Muyi suddenly seemed to have discovered some big secret, pointing to Jiang Shanqing and said.

Jiang Shanqing's eyes instantly became dangerous, huh?The secret seems to have been discovered by someone, do you want to kill people to silence it?

"...the 'child prodigy' that adults often say! The kind you know from birth?" Zhou Muyi gasped, and finally finished the sentence.

Jiang Shanqing breathed a sigh of relief, smiled, and nodded unceremoniously, "That's what you say..."

"There are really child prodigies. I thought the adults were talking nonsense and wanted to stimulate us kids, but I didn't expect to see them today." Zhou Muyi looked at Jiang Shanqing as if he was curious, and said in amazement.

"That's because you are ignorant." Jiang Shanqing said contemptuously.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Muyi looked bewildered. Although he was enlightened, he was always ignorant. After reading for a long time, he would feel dizzy, and he couldn't recognize all the words let alone speak idioms.

Jiang Shanqing was tired, and felt that he was stupid to talk about this to a brat, wasting time.

Zhou Muyi wanted to ask Jiang Shanqing again, when he saw someone walking by in the Chaoshou corridor not far away.

"It's father and elder brother, why do they look so ugly..." Zhou Muyi frowned slightly, and muttered to himself.

Jiang Shanqing also looked over, and the two had already passed through the verandah and headed for the main hall.

"Could it be because of the silk..." Zhou Muyi still frowned and muttered to himself.

Jiang Shanqing looked at him and didn't ask any questions. After all, this was his family's business.

"Prodigy, can you help me with the details?" Zhou Muyi suddenly raised his head, looked at Jiang Shanqing and asked.

"What's the matter?" Since others took the initiative to say it, he also asked.

"You know that my family runs a silk shop, right? Those silks and satins are all woven by ourselves. The Liu family in our town originally provided silk to my family, that is, the Liu family with the most silkworm farmers in their hands. But this year, somehow , then the Liu family suddenly stopped providing us with this year's summer silk. Without silk, we can't weave satin. Although my family still has some stocks, it can't support the time when autumn silkworms produce silk. They have been sold long ago, and our family needs a lot, so we really can’t find any substitute silk for a while, and in a month at most, there will be no silks and satins in our shop.”

While Zhou Muyi was talking, his face became more and more dignified. He suddenly increased his tone and continued, "This is not the most serious thing. The most serious thing is that my family received a few big orders at the beginning of the year and had to provide others with hundreds of horses. Silk, if this is not handed over, my family will have to pay for it!"

After Jiang Shanqing listened carefully, he suddenly asked suspiciously: "How do you know these things so clearly?" Those adults probably wouldn't tell such a big thing to a child like Jiang Shanqing.

"Well... I eavesdropped. When my father and elder brother were talking, I sometimes eavesdropped at the door." Zhou Muyi replied with a guilty conscience, "But I also did it because I cared about my family." He finally said Don't forget to defend yourself.

Jiang Shanqing didn't think there was anything wrong with eavesdropping. Who didn't eavesdrop on their parents when they were young?

"Oh, don't you care about such trivial things, just tell me if there is any way to help our family tide over the difficulties." Zhou Muyi asked more and more impatiently.

Jiang Shanqing thought about it for a while, and there were inevitably some conspiracy theories. She thought that the person who placed the order with the Zhou family and the Liu family had set up a partnership to trick the Zhou family into entering the game, thus destroying them.In fact, the way to break the situation is very simple, as long as you find enough silk, but obviously the Zhou family's connections are not strong enough, and it is impossible to find a next family who can provide so much silk in such a short period of time.

"I can't help it." Jiang Shanqing shook his head and replied, a child like him, no matter how high his IQ is, couldn't think of a solution to this kind of thing that required connections.

Zhou Muyi didn't intend to get any good solution from Jiang Shanqing, he just wanted to find someone to talk to, he felt that their family might be over soon, so he said with an increasingly melancholy expression; I didn't expect this wish to be shattered so soon. If our family has no money in the future, do you think I should go out and learn a craft? What should I learn... I think carpenters are good, what do you think? "

I think your thinking is really out of bounds. Didn't you just worry about your family's business, and you think about your future business so quickly.Jiang Shanqing thought silently.
