Chapter 390: Her craftsmanship is much better than her husband's
Shen Zhi swallowed his saliva and said, "Come on, I'll go with you to take a look."
Arriving at the barbecue stall, she looked at the people from the Amo tribe before she spoke, "You don't have money to pay?"
Chief Amo smiled awkwardly, "It's not that we don't want to pay, we just forgot to bring it."
Shen Zhi: "Forget it. Since we in Beiyang have established trade relations with your Amo tribe, we will have frequent exchanges in the future. There is no need to hurt the relationship."
"We accept this stone. Today's barbecue is all for you."
Chief Amo and his guards didn't expect that the girl would be so easy to talk to. They were all flattered.
The stone they gave was as big as a fist, carefully cut and carved, and must be priceless.
Shen Zhi: "I like beautiful stones like this. If you have any beautiful stones in the future, you can bring them to me and use them as money at my stall!"
"really!"
Chief Amo was shocked.
Isn't this freeloading?
Their tribe has nothing else but a lot of this kind of stone!
Shen Zhi: "I keep my word."
The guard couldn't help but ask: "Miss, if we want to eat something else, can we use stones as a substitute next time?"
Shen Zhi was silent for a moment, then nodded, "Okay."
Several people laughed excitedly.
Shen Zhi smiled with an ambiguous tone, and when he looked down at the jade in his hand, a faint light appeared in his eyes.
Chief Amo concealed his inner excitement and strolled around the market with his guards.
Soon he saw the fried potatoes he had been longing for for many days.
His eyes lit up and he ran over quickly, "How much is this... this lump of earth?"
Qin Jiuan looked up and said, "These are potatoes, not lumps of earth. They cost five cents a bowl. But you are the people of Chief Amo, so you can exchange them for something of equal value."
"Just now a girl said that we can eat first and then exchange it for beautiful stones. Is your stall also OK?"
Qin Jiuan frowned, and the man who was peeling potatoes next to him looked up in dissatisfaction. What were they going to do with the stones?
Isn’t this a waste of food?
"Sure! All the stalls in the market today belong to me. As long as you say it was me, Shen Zhi, who said so, you can eat whatever you want."
At some point, Shen Zhi came over.
Qin Jiuan frowned and pulled her to the back of the shed. "What's wrong with you? We are doing business! What's the use of broken stones?"
Shen Zhi chuckled and handed the jade in his hand to him, "Take a look at this broken stone. What do you think? Is it worth exchanging it for our delicious food?"
Qin Jiuan stared at the stone and took it with trembling hands.
He carefully examined and wiped it. After looking at it for a long time, he stared at Shen Zhi blankly. He swallowed hard and said, "Shen Zhi...you...you are rich...this is top-grade jadeite! The quality is so good! If it is carved out, it will be worth several months of work in our restaurant!"
Shen Zhi's eyes widened, "What? So valuable?!"
Qin Jiuan snorted, "My grandpa found a jadeite Pixiu before, but it was not as good as this one. Guess how much money he spent on it?"
"How many?"
“Ten thousand taels!!”
Shen Zhi's throat was dry. "You...didn't scare me?"
"Why would I lie to you? I saw it with my own eyes!"
Qin Jiuan carefully returned the jade to her, "You have a really good eye! Let's go, I have to go fry potatoes for our distinguished guest!"
Shen Zhi laughed foolishly, "Of course, of course, let's go!"
When they returned to the stall, they found a few more people in front of the stall. They were Lan Li, the county magistrate, and several people from the Amo tribe.
Chief Amo was arguing with Lan Li, and both of them were arguing so hard that their faces turned red and their necks became thick.
"What happened?" Shen Zhi asked hurriedly.
Lan Li: “Did they not pay for their food?!”
"You're talking nonsense! I traded it for stones! Who said I didn't pay?"
"You are talking nonsense! How can stones be exchanged? You are such a shameless person! We had a nice discussion at the beginning, but now you come here to eat for free!" Lan Li's words were so poisonous.
"You, you, you...you are shameless!"
A'mo was so angry that he blew his nose and glared.
Shen Zhi took one look and said quickly: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!"
"General Lan, County Magistrate, I was the one who told them they could eat whatever they wanted. I like stones, and their tribe has a lot of them. Just give them back to me when the time comes!"
Not to mention nourishing them, Shen Zhi wished they could eat more! That way she wouldn't feel so guilty holding this jade.
Lan Li and the county magistrate were shocked.
"I think you are crazy!"
"Can stones be eaten as food? Are you stupid?!"
As Shen Zhi was being talked about by the two, leader Amo, who was standing next to him, felt inexplicably guilty.
It's as if they were a group of people deceiving a little girl...
Shen Zhi: "Don't worry, I'm in charge of my stall. Besides, this is just a small amount of food. If they want to eat, why not treat them?"
"You are really stupid."
Lan Li left these words and glared at Chief Amo fiercely, "You are a leader, but you actually do such a thing of eating and drinking for free, aren't you ashamed?! Don't say that I fought with you in the future! It's really embarrassing!"
Chief Amo: "...You are the one who is ashamed!"
Shen Zhi was stunned. This man... is the leader? !
They didn't even notice it!
Lan Li didn't want to argue with him anymore. "You've finished eating all the skewers. You should be full by now. Go back home when you're full!"
He gets angry when he talks about this! He didn't even eat a few skewers of skewers, but this shameless guy ate them all!
"I want to eat this clod of earth!" Chief Amo pushed him aside, "I came here first, get out of my way!"
Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Shen Zhi yelled: "Stop!!"
The two sides then stopped arguing.
Shen Zhi: "This pot can fry a lot of potatoes, you can all eat them, why are you in such a hurry? Just wait!"
She sighed. He was a leader, a general and a county magistrate after all. How could he be so childish?
She never expected that they could still quarrel like elementary school kids.
It's absolutely amazing.
Qin Jiuan and Zhuzi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The two of them quickly started frying potatoes.
As soon as the potatoes were cooked through, both sides lost their patience and said, "It's done, it should be done!"
"It's ready to eat!"
"It's still a little hard. Do you like hard food?"
"I like it! Just make sure it's cooked!"
Shen Zhi quickly mixed out a large pot of potatoes.
Lan Li and Chief Amo vied for it, and they were the first to get a bowl.
The two glared at each other before starting to eat.
After eating this, Chief Amo was stunned for a moment, "No... Why is this clod of earth easier to find today than that day?!"
The pot that Chu Changfeng fried for them that day was delicious enough, but this pot was even more fragrant than that one!
He never expected that it could be so delicious!
Lan Li sneered, "What do you know? This is the daughter-in-law of the family that fried potatoes for you that day. Her cooking skills are much better than her husband's!"
