Jiaohu

Chapter 112 Red Fire
It was like a flowing flame.

Zhao Huniu looked at the cloak spread out in front of her like spreading wings—the fiery red color seemed to be flowing, but was solidified on the square inch of fabric by some secret craftsmanship.

Zhao Huniu couldn't help reaching out to touch it.

The fur is still as soft as it is full of vitality, but it is no longer warm,
just lay there quietly,
as a work of art.

"it is good!"

The woman couldn't help admiring,
Qi Lin on the side heard Zhao Huniu's praise, and there was no concealment of complacency on his face.

"This is definitely the work I am most satisfied with in the past three years. Little girl, it is your admiration to be able to display it in your store!"

"It's true,"

Zhao Huniu stood up straight, smiled at Qi Lin,
"If I can display Duke Qi's craftsmanship in our shop, then I will understand what is meant by 'flourishing radiance'."

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Sincere flattery is more rewarding than false affection.Qi Lin's affection for Zhao Huniu skyrocketed, and he even talked more.

The two admired the red fox cape again,

Qi Lin took out a piece of gray old cloth from the back room, and carefully wrapped the cloak with great care; he also wrapped the hare skins that Zhao Huniu asked him to handle earlier,
Only then did he send her out.

The reluctant look of the man when he saw off Zhao Huniu, if he didn't know it, he would have thought it was the farewell of Guisheng's daughter and father - but Zhao Huniu knew,
He was extremely reluctant to take the red fox cloak away by himself.

The fiery gaze behind her didn't completely disappear until she reached the corner. Even she, who was not afraid of jackals and wild leopards, felt a little thorn in her back.

Zhao Huniu went back to the shop with the cloak and hare skin in her arms.

"Come and come, put down your work and come over to have a look. I have something good to open your eyes,"

It was just after noon, which was the hottest time of the day; there were only a few customers in the shop who were pretending to read cloth while enjoying the shade. After Zhao Huniu invited them out, she called Ge Yuancai and Sun Yafu to come over.

Bushaw is there too,
It was just sitting lazily behind the counter, drinking tea and peeking at Ge Yuan to settle accounts.

He didn't want to pay attention to Zhao Huniu at first, but seeing the bulging bag in her arms that was nearly half the height of a person, Bu Xiao rolled his eyes and got up anyway.

Zhao Huniu told Ge Yuancai to put up the lock on the gate first,
And cleared the cloth from the table that entered the hall,

Only then did he put the burden in his hand on it.

Several people gathered together to look, the door was temporarily closed, and the shop was suddenly dark; but the moment Zhao Huniu opened the burden,

A faint but non-negligible brilliance fluttered from the furoshiki.

The red fox cloak was spread out in front of everyone,

Even if there is no light, you can still see the radiance on the soft fur - everyone present widened their eyes,

Zhao Huniu heard someone gasp.

She went behind the counter, lit an oil lamp, and walked over holding the oil lamp in her right hand,
Fearing that the lamp oil would accidentally fall on the cloak and burn it, Zhao Huniu did not walk too close, but kept a distance from the table.

The faint candlelight is like a spark falling in the dry grass,
Just now there was only a faint brilliance flowing, but now as long as it is where the light falls, it seems to light up a small cluster of flames.

"Boss, this, this is" "Is this the handicraft of that old boy Qi Lin?!"

Ge Yuancai's voice and Sun Yafu's voice sounded at the same time,
The tone of the two was full of shock and surprise.

"That's right, this is what we're going to exhibit and sell in the store tomorrow," Zhao Huniu raised her chin slightly and said:

"Wait tomorrow, remove the cabinet at that place first, then replace it with the low cabinet over there, and hang this cloak on it - put it higher - firstly, to keep people from touching it, and secondly, to pass by People can also see it together.

Old Ge, "

Zhao Huniu looked at Ge Yuancai, the man immediately straightened his back,
"In addition to keeping accounts tomorrow, the two of you greet the customers in the shop together. Yafu, you don't need to take care of the cloth purchases of the other customers. You only need to take care of the red fox cloak and these."

As she spoke, Zhao Huniu pointed to the neatly piled hare skins beside her.

"This red fox cloak, we will not answer the inquiry tomorrow. We only say that a noble person has ordered it, and it is just displayed to support the scene. Remember, whoever asks for the price, you don't need to tell them the specific amount, and you don't have to tell them the price. Who ordered them, understand?"

"I understand boss."

"As for."

Zhao Huniu's eyes swept over Bu Xiao and said nothing.Her gaze paused for a moment, then she immediately retracted it.

After explaining a few more words, Zhao Huniu put the red fox cloak and hare fur back in that cloth,

Put it under the counter in front of everyone.

She leaned down again and said a few words in Ge Yuancai's ear, then walked away.

After Zhao Huniu left, the shop returned to its previous state, and everyone returned to their respective positions.

But Bu Xiao didn't go back to sit next to Ge Yuancai.He found a corner to sit, and if there was a guest in front of him, he even went to say hello.

Bu Xiao's mind was full of the red fox cloak just now,

If, if he could steal it, not only would he be able to pay off the gambling debts he owed, he might even have a lot left over, and then he would flee to another place incognito,

If you think about it, you can't catch yourself.

Although Bu Xiao has no skills, and is greedy for money, lust, life, and fear of death, but because of this, he can best tell whether something is valuable or not—not to mention that in this small Li County, the cloak is sent to the capital. Presumably those dignitaries are also willing to spend a lot of money.

When others look at the red fox cloak, they see the ingenious craftsmanship, but what Bu Xiao sees is a pile of silver like a hill,

On weekdays, he just sneaks and jokes in a slippery tone,
But when the really valuable things are in front of you,
Bushaw could no longer restrain the greed in his heart.

Even if he greeted the guests, he was like a walking dead at this moment.

Although Bu Xiao saw it, Zhao Huniu put the red fox cloak under the counter; but he did not act recklessly,

Although greed has already occupied his heart at this time, making him scratch his head and want to steal the red fox cloak,
But tomorrow the red fox cloak will be exhibited in the store, and he hasn't made any preparations yet. If he can really steal it, he will probably be caught before he leaves the county.

Hold on to your heart for now,

Bu Xiao watched as Ge Yuan locked the door of the store.

On the way home, he couldn't stop thinking in his mind, he must prepare the way of retreat after stealing the things.

It happened that there was an older brother I knew a long time ago, and I heard that there was a quick way out of the city,

Rather,

Just discuss it with him first.
