Chapter 127 Final Payment for Mechanical Parts
The ghost ball is also called the ivory ball. It has several layers of exquisitely carved patterns inside and is a hollow ball with uniform thickness that can be rotated.

Every process, starting from the selection of materials, is extremely complicated. The ball is placed inside the ball, and the process is hollowed out layer by layer. The details of the characters' faces, clothes, pavilions and towers are also extremely exquisite.

It is truly a masterpiece of nature.

It is recorded in books that there were three-layer sets of balls in the Song Dynasty.

The outer layer is the easiest to carve, but for the several layers of spheres inside, it is impossible to see the direction of the cut because of the limited tools used in ancient times.

It all depends on the experience of the craftsman. It is said that the craftsman makes the judgment based on the vibration and sound in his hands.

If the strength of the hand is slightly wrong, all the previous efforts may be wasted, which shows how high the craftsmanship level is.

It can also be done with modern machines, but it cannot be done to such a sophisticated level.

The ball they brought had seven layers.

The current Qianlong period set of balls can have fourteen layers, so seven layers may not be a lot, but the ball is small overall!
You need to use a magnifying glass to look at the innermost one from different angles. If it were in the present day, it would definitely be a national treasure.

"This is what we brought out from the abandoned museum." Quan Jian said.

Porcelain and jade are fragile, and in the last few years of the world even museums were in ruins, and those luxurious works of art and civilization were once again covered in dust.

When they went in, the ground was littered with broken glass, broken porcelain, and damaged antiques.

The huge building just looks desolate.

They left the remaining display cases that were still intact and contained fragile antiques untouched.

We were afraid that the items we took out might get damaged if we encountered danger on the road and were not properly preserved, so after discussing with Fang Qi and the rest of the team, we only took the valuable, non-breakable items with us.

Now their survival has become a problem.

For the shelter, things are dead, and staying alive is the most important thing.

It would be fine to exchange them for supplies. Since they couldn't protect these things, it was better for them to be in Boss Shen's hands than to leave them in an abandoned city, where they might be destroyed by natural or man-made disasters at any time.

just
Quan Jian glanced at Fang Qi, and after the two exchanged glances, Fang Qi asked Shen You,

"Boss Shen, you're going to sell the things you collected here, right?"

Shen You nodded, "Some of it, but it depends on the things."

After hearing this, several people looked at each other again, and finally an elegant middle-aged man stood up.

"It's like this, Boss Shen, we brought the items for the deal, and no one else has the right to ask how you deal with them, but we still have a request.

I hope that as much as possible, when there is a choice, I can avoid giving it to foreigners.”

I don’t know where Boss Shen is going to make a move. Even if she doesn’t agree, they will choose to trade, but they still have some hope.

"You can rest assured about this matter. I will keep it safe." Shen You's voice was not loud, but his tone was firm.

Fang Qi immediately looked at her companion and said, "I said that Miss Shen is a conscientious businessman!"

The middle-aged man nodded and said yes repeatedly.

"Our transport team is late, would you like to settle the bill first?"

As soon as Fang Qi said this, the rest of the people looked at Shen You nervously, especially Quan Jian and the other person who came into the store for the second time.

I don’t know what I can exchange the ghost ball for here. Antiques are precious only in prosperous times. At this point, it’s better to have a full meal.

Even if Shen You only gave them a small amount of supplies, they had no choice.

They paid a considerable price to bring these things out, so of course they hope they can be worth more.

Shen You responded, "Okay, if you guys are together, then I'll go with you too?"

After receiving the customer's affirmative response, she continued, "The ghost ball is used as the final payment for that batch of parts, and the 10 gold bars brought by the team.
I still have ten boxes of eight-treasure porridge, 10 kilograms of cabbage, kilograms of radish, kilograms of handmade noodles, two hams, kilograms of Chinese sausages, and kilograms of cured pork. ” She drove to the store to buy the handmade noodles directly. It’s a well-established store with more than ten years of history. One bag weighs kilograms.

The same goes for Chinese sausages and cured pork, which are all produced and sold locally in the shops.

If they want to purchase goods from the company, the quantity is not enough. It’s not that Shen You only purchases this much for them.

Fang Qi and the others asked to replace more canned food and compressed biscuits that would not expire or go bad, and less other food.

The rice, flour, crushed corn, canned food, etc. there were all ordered by Fang Qi last time, and the balance was paid yesterday.

"And these two bombs, I'll redeem them for you."

Shen You stuffed the two grenades at Fang Qi like throwing a hot potato, and breathed a sigh of relief, finally throwing them away.

Then he turned to the crowd and said, "It's time for dinner soon. What would you like to eat?"

That's a ghost ball! It's worth it to add an extra meal.

As Shen You listed the supplies like a menu, he moved the piles of vegetables from the warehouse to the yard with a wave of his hand.

Quan Jian was completely stunned. If he had known that the merchant in this shop was not an ordinary person, he could have ordered takeout.

I didn’t expect there were so many precious supplies!

Fresh vegetables like this are rare, but she has a pile of them on the ground!
Worth, so worth it!

Originally I thought I would be lucky if I could exchange it for half a truckload of food, but I didn't expect that the ball set could actually be worth a batch of spare parts and additional supplies.

The faces of several people were visibly red due to surprise. They took a few seconds to speak, "Really?"

Shen You nodded.

"Thank you, boss! You are our savior!" someone shouted.

"There are quite a lot of people coming into Lan City today. There are more than a dozen people in our team. Some of them have already sent people to the shelter." Quan Jian said embarrassedly, "Can I still have the lunch box from last time?"

He was talking about the people who were going together to look for the ghost ball. It would be bad for those of them who came in to just take care of themselves.

"No problem." Shen You agreed happily.

Including Fang Qi's, and asking them to take a few portions back home, a lunch box costs 12 yuan, so buying portions would only cost yuan, and adding Coke would only cost yuan more.

Shen You made a phone call first. Because it was a last-minute order, the store didn’t have much ingredients prepared, so she ended up buying from two stores.

She added WeChat first, scanned the QR code, and agreed on the place and time with the other party.

The reason given was that the company was organizing an event and needed to order lunch boxes. If they had someone deliver them there, they would be exposed and they had to drive there themselves.

Shen You asked the customers in the store to wait outside for a while and come back to get their things in half an hour.

As soon as the person went out, Wen Zhi came over.

"What's wrong with you?" He looked at Shen You who was sighing.

"No, if I had known you were coming, there would be someone watching in the store and the customers wouldn't have to go out and wait."

Shen You asked him to look after the store and the safety of the customers outside, then took the keys and drove out.

The part-time college student working at the fast food restaurant came to deliver the lunch boxes personally. These boxed lunches were made from large pots of dishes cooked in advance. Shen You was not picky and just told them to just look at the combinations and order whatever was available.

So she moved quickly. At the intersection in front of the Antique Street, she and the part-time college student seemed like spies meeting each other.

They looked at each other for a few seconds to confirm their eye contact, reported their mobile phone numbers and payment screenshots, and quickly put the packed lunch boxes into the trunk.
