Siheyuan: The romantic and suave Xu Damao

Making fire and cooking was not a difficult task for Xu Damao, but he was the only one eating today, so he decided to keep things simple and just make something to fill his stomach.

Take out the braised dishes you bought earlier and steam them in a pot, then pair them with a few sesame cakes, and a simple lunch is ready. The pig's head is soft, fragrant and glutinous after steaming, and it has a unique flavor when sandwiched between sesame cakes.

After a hearty meal, Xu Damao continued to work. This time, he sped up his work and finished posting all the flyers in just one hour. In fact, the real reason was that he felt that this work was too monotonous, so he hid the remaining flyers in his personal space so that no one could find them.

After completing the task, Xu Damao suddenly felt a little bored. He looked at the time and found that it was just after 2 p.m. With nothing to do, he turned the car around and drove towards Lou Xiaoe's home, intending to pick her up to go out and play.

When Xu Damao arrived at the door of the Lou family, he knocked on the door without hesitation. After all, everyone in the Lou family knew that he and Lou Xiao'e were dating, and based on his relationship with Lou Xiao'e, the girl must have praised him in front of her parents.

"Hey, why are you here? Shouldn't you be showing a movie out of town at this time?"

Lou Xiao'e opened the door with a happy expression on her face, but there was still a hint of doubt in her heart.

Xu Damao sighed: "Alas, I didn't go to show the movie today. My boss arranged for me to post flyers. As soon as I finished my work, I rushed to find you. Let's go shopping together."

Hearing Xu Damao's suggestion, Lou Xiao'e hesitated: "Ah, but it's still your working hours. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to go out and play directly like this?"

Xu Damao waved his hand nonchalantly: "What does it matter? It's okay, let's go!" He enthusiastically invited Lou Xiao'e.

"Okay, I'll go tell my family. Wait here for a moment. I'll be right out."

Lou Xiao'e originally wanted to go out with Xu Damao, so she turned around and went in, ready to say something to her family.

Xu Damao couldn't wait any longer. He stepped on the pedal with one foot and pushed the ground with the other foot. The bicycle quickly slid forward. When he reached the opposite side of the road, he braked beautifully and stopped the bike steadily.

Two minutes later, Lou Xiao'e ran out in a hurry and sat on the back seat skillfully. Xu Damao got on the seat without saying a word, kicked the pedal and sped away.

"Where are we going?"

"Let's go find a gold shop first."

"What are you going to do in a gold shop?"

"We got two tiger teeth last time. Let's find a gold shop to coat them with gold and put a chain on them to make a pendant."

"Ah, as a girl, it seems inappropriate for me to wear canine teeth, right?"

Lou Xiao'e's tone revealed some resistance, and it was obvious that she did not have much affection for this tiger tooth pendant...

"Why don't you just turn those two amber chains into some bracelets? They would look pretty good on you."

"But those ambers are dark in color and really not very pretty. In comparison, I still prefer the kind of wood with fragrance. What is it called?"

"You mean agarwood? Agarwood court beads cannot be moved, but the two strings can be taken apart. Since you like agarwood, you can pick one to wear when the time comes."

"Hehe, thank you Damao!"

"You're welcome!"

Xu Damao looked around and finally found a gold shop on the street that looked quite old. He parked the car steadily and walked into the shop with Lou Xiao'e beside him.

As soon as I entered the store, a beautiful female clerk in a light pink top came up to me and said, "Sir, are you here to buy gold jewelry? We have all kinds of goods here, including gold rings, gold earrings, and gold necklaces. If you want to buy a big gold bracelet for this beautiful lady, that would be great too!"

Facing the enthusiastic female clerk, Xu Damao smiled a little awkwardly, saying that they were not here to buy jewelry today. Then, he carefully took out an item from his arms and said that he hoped to wrap it with gold and make it into a pendant.

The female clerk looked at the object in Xu Damao's hand curiously and asked in surprise: "Oh, is this a tooth? Is it from a tiger or a wolf? It's so slender!"

Xu Damao nodded and replied softly: "Yes, it is indeed the teeth of a big cat. I wonder if you can process it?"

Hearing this, the female clerk was obviously a little undecided. She turned around and shouted at the top of her voice: "Uncle Li! Uncle Li! Can you please come out and take a look at this thing?"

Before he finished speaking, a burly middle-aged man in his forties walked out slowly from the inner room. He walked in front of the two people with his hands behind his back and carefully examined the tooth.

"Xiao Zhang, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"This young man brought a tiger tooth and said he wanted to cover it with gold to make a pendant. I can't handle this, so I had to invite you here."

"Oh my! It really is a canine tooth. Look at its length. It must be from the Northeast, right?"

"Brother, you have good taste! Can you give it a gold border? I want to make it into a pendant."

"I wonder what kind of gold plating method you would like to use? Are there any special requirements for the production process and thickness of the gold plating?" The middle-aged man showed a very professional attitude and asked in detail.

"For this canine tooth, I think the tip and the root should be fully covered, but the middle part only needs to be half covered. As for the pattern on the gold-plated surface, I don't have too many requirements. It all depends on your vision and craftsmanship. You can design it in any way that looks good. As for the thickness of the gold, you are an expert and naturally know how to judge the degree. Just handle it according to your experience."

"Okay! You are really generous. But this job will take some time. How about this, you leave this tiger tooth in our store first, and we won't charge you a deposit. When the finished product is ready, you can come and pick it up. What do you think?"

The middle-aged man asked Xu Damao with a smile on his face. After all, this tiger tooth was quite valuable. If the customer did not come to take it away after the finished product was made, the store owner would be very happy.

Hearing this, Xu Damao nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course, I have another tooth here, so why not pack them both together! Make them both into pendants, and just string a rope on them." After that, he took out another tiger tooth from his body and handed it to the other party carefully.
