Paper horse incense shop

Money, money, lots and lots of money, travel expenses plus money to buy connections, it’s such a big sum!

The deep black circles and red pupils under Ah Qian's eyes added to the convincingness of his words.

I looked at the bones in the big box and the petrified beautiful snake. I sighed quietly, put the package I had packed on my back on my back, and then gave everyone a wink. The group of people successfully evacuated. Li's abandoned building.

After successfully returning to the funeral home, everyone still had an unreal feeling.

Except Ah Chian who was still shouting in confusion: "Money, money, money"

Others breathed a sigh of relief.

The eleventh Taibao listened to Ah Qian's movements like a dead fish struggling, and couldn't bear it and knocked his godson on the head:

"Isn't it just money? What is more important than your life?"

Ah Jian was categorical:

"money!"

Ah Chi was hit again:

".Life."

The interaction between father and son was really fun. People present laughed a few times, and then Uncle Du said in a dreamy tone:

"I thought there was going to be a fierce battle, and I brought all the bugs I had accumulated over the years with me."

"When I heard Ah Shi and Ah Shi say that you went in and they came out, I almost thought it would be difficult to face your second uncle in the future."

I didn’t think much about it:

"It's all over. It was just a false alarm."

"I'll tell you how much it cost this time."

As soon as these words came out, even Azian, the most greedy person present, changed his expression:

"No, we can't accept this money."

"After all, you saved us by going in, otherwise the two of us would have been hiding in the basement."

Everyone in the funeral home briefly had a quarrel with each other, but in the end it was Ah Shi who stood up and made the decision:

"Actually, what Azian said is right. To be honest, not only can we not charge you money, but we also have to thank you."

"Since you can come up with money, you must not be short of money. If you encounter something in Changzhou in the future, just come to us. As long as we can handle it, we will handle it for you."

Is this considered as raising the favorability of the funeral home to respect?

Seeing the serious expressions of the people in front of me, I felt warm in my heart and nodded:

"it is good!"

A group of people had a meal together, and I returned to Zima Xiang Shop after a long absence.

Xiao Zhou didn't come back. Even if the door of the store was closed, there was a layer of dust on it. According to my usual cleanliness, I would definitely clean it as soon as possible, but now I have no intention to do these small things.

After adding incense to Xiao Si as usual, I sat down and continued to study the parchment paper.

It is undeniable that Miss Snake's snake sloughs are indeed good things. Although most of them are old, they still contain a little aura.

But after my research over the past few days, I found that snake slough cannot be used to make leather.

Snake skin is skin and is elastic, but snake slough is a layer of skin membrane. I tried several times to tighten the snake slough outside the bamboo bones, trying to find a paper substitute out of the muddy water, but all ended in failure.

I would have liked to use the two skins I found in the safe, but Mr. Tao has been making skins all his life, and he regards them as his outstanding works. There are only two skins in the safe. I don’t have much idea about making paper substitutes. It’s still in the development stage and I don’t dare waste it, so I’m quite worried.

After thinking about it, I finally took out the biggest gain of this trip - human skin paper.

Now it seems that studying leatherworking on your own is the best choice.

So I spent a lot of time taking pictures of the words on the human skin paper, and then started to study the obscure words on it with the help of the tools at hand.

Naturally, I did not dare to expose the entire human skin paper directly. Instead, I cropped the photos into pictures with one word and one picture, and searched for similar words through big data one by one.

I only counted the words that I couldn't find, found the contact email addresses on the official websites of major historical research, and asked different erudite people a few times.

Perhaps because I was too cautious, my progress was very slow.

After almost a week of sleepless nights, I finally analyzed some text with great difficulty. After polishing and integrating, I got this sentence——

[Stop being trapped on the Yanling Mausoleum for a few years, use the right strategy, build it for ten years and the country will be rich;

Since Xue Yanling was ashamed, he used clever strategies to make his family rich and wealthy.

There were no descendants to revitalize the family business, so he hid the family wealth in anticipation of the future]

Yanling, the ancient name of Changzhou.

Of course, I didn't mean to translate so much, but the text behind it is really not something that humans can recognize.

The words at the back look like some kind of pattern, some kind of hieroglyphics, some even look like a superimposition of several words, and there is no trace of their origin at all.

But even if I could only see so much, it really surprised me——

This is not a secret method of making leather at all, but like... someone hid something with this leather that is difficult for ordinary people to crack? !

The first sentence reveals the author's identity and life achievements, the second sentence is based on the first sentence and confirms the fact that the author is wealthy, and the third sentence is mixed with empty emotions.

"Hide family wealth for the future", this sentence is the most fatal.

Translated into modern vernacular, this sentence is actually—

‘I hid all my money, just waiting for the right opportunity to take it out! ’

Since it is written like this, the following dozens of words must be the key to hiding money!

Aren't I looking for a way to make leather? !

Why, instead of getting a treasure map that needs to be cracked?

This series of things made me feel numb.

I'm afraid things in Mr. Tao's family are definitely not as simple as I imagined. This skin must be hundreds of years old, and the fonts on the skin are even more ancient.

Regardless of whether this is a treasure map passed down from Mr. Tao’s family, the fact that the paper is still there and has not been destroyed by anyone means that when Mr. Tao was alive, there were still people who diligently thought about the treasure in this piece of paper.

It's not incomprehensible that I want to find treasures, but I only want the leather-making method. Doesn't this make my work in vain?

I leaned back in my seat with eyes blank and thought hard about a treasure map that was so difficult to decipher. As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. Why didn't Mr. Tao's ancestors just leave behind the leather-making method? ?

After being missed by future generations for so long, why don't they start making leather and selling it down-to-earth?

Mr. Tao's fortune during the Republic of China was not the result of hard work, right?

Work hard, save a fortune, then find a successor disciple, marry a beautiful girl, have children and grandchildren, and you will be happy in this life.

The disciple of inheritance.

Somehow, Miss Snake's silly and beautiful face flashed through my mind. The next moment, my heart was shocked, and I suddenly remembered something——

Ah Si is the adopted daughter of Mr. Tao. She was taught by Mr. Tao since she was a child that she can naturally make leather and shadow puppets, but Miss Snake, who has inherited some of Ah Si's will! No! knowledge! Character!

What does this mean?

This shows that if literacy was a necessary condition for learning leathermaking, Ah Si would definitely learn to read, but she did not.

Therefore, the method of making leather is not just a matter of words!

This business is all about teaching by hand! (End of chapter)
