She thought it must have been Elder Wu showing off, and now someone has gotten interested in it.
Is this item even available on the market?
She decided to go check it out first.
Whenever she had free time, she’d head over to Antique Street to have a look and ask if they had Dragon Spring Seal Paste.
But none of them had it.
"rade, we used to have it, but it’s basically unavailable now. It’s somewhat expensive, at least several hundred. If you want it, I can keep an eye out for you."
"I want a box, and I want to know when it’s in stock. I’m planning to give it as a gift."
Buying Dragon Spring Seal Paste to give as a gift?
It’s several hundred dollars for such a small box.
"Give me five days."
She could afford to wait for five days.
"Boss, I’ll leave you a phone number. When it’s in stock, call me, preferably after work hours. I’m not home during the day."
The boss noticed that Yun Xiaoxiao’s family had a phone, further confirming she could afford it.
It’s not cheap to install a private phone these days.
"Alright."
Why didn’t Yun Xiaoxiao buy it online?
She wasn’t sure how much was left in her account.
When she received the call from the boss, Yun Xiaoxiao arranged to pick it up the next day.
When she arrived at the store the next day and saw the item, she paused for a moment.
"Can I try stamping with it?"
Dragon Spring Seal Paste leaves scorch marks when burned.
"Yes, you can."
After verifying its authenticity, Yun Xiaoxiao took a wad of cash from her bag and handed it to the boss.
"Boss, did you only get one box?"
This rade wants more?
"There’s one more box, do you want it?"
"I’ll take it."
This seal paste is too expensive, Yun Xiaoxiao planned to use it for important contracts for Zhao Tianlei.
The boss, holding a wad of cash, wondered whether he should source more of these to sell.
"Here you go."
What is it?
His wife was giving him a valuable gift.
"Here’s your seal paste."
Seal paste?
"When you need to use your stamp on important contracts, this seal paste will do. It leaves scorch marks and is water-resistant."
What?
It actually has this effect?
"When your two sons apprenticed, I gave this to Elder Wu; it’s several hundred per box."
Several hundred per box?
A bit extravagant.
"Are you free next week? Xiao Bao is going to visit his new teacher, both of us need to go to show respect."
Xiao Bao’s new teacher?
Education matters are managed by his wife.
"Sure, sure."
Zhao Tianlei wondered if he should buy a car to make traveling more convenient.
But a car costs a lot of money.
He wanted to invest in other studies, which also required sufficient funds.
"Where are you going?" Mrs. Zhao noticed her son had tidily prepared himself today.
"To visit the new teacher."
What?
Weren’t they learning calligraphy with Elder Wu?
Why are they visiting a new teacher?
The kids are so young, do they need to learn so much?
Mrs. Zhao wanted to ask but swallowed her words in the end.
Once they left, she spoke with Grandma Fang, "Auntie, tell me, Da Bao and Xiao Bao usually have classes, and when they’re free, they go to learn calligraphy. Now their parents are taking them to meet a new teacher, isn’t it too tiring for the kids?"
Grandma Fang consoled her, "Perhaps Da Bao and Xiao Bao have talent. I heard from Miss Yun that in middle school, there are seven subjects, and now there are only two or three. It’s easy. But once middle school es, they won’t be able to attend these interest classes often."
Though that may be the case, do such young children need to learn so much?
"Isn’t it too exhausting?"
"As long as the kids are willing to learn, they can learn more. I think Miss Yun and their business will only get bigger."
