After watching Bai Jingyu walk out of Rongbaozhai, Liu Ping'an suppressed his inner excitement and the desire for this "amber" in the small world between his eyebrows, and took it in his hands and played with it carefully.

At this time, Shopkeeper Zhuang said to Liu Ping'an, "I'm sorry to have made you spend so much money today. This young man Bai is one of my sons. When his father was alive, he liked to collect antiques. His family is quite well-off. He often comes to my place, and we can be considered good friends."

"This kid has developed a habit of spending lavishly. After his father left, he often brought treasures from his family to me for sale."

Liu Ping'an shook his head and said, "It's okay. I have to thank the shopkeeper for his help as a witness. To be honest, my favorite antique is amber. This is the first time I have seen such a large piece of amber. That's why I couldn't help but buy it."

"This is how the antique business works. Money can't buy my willingness. Today's deal is a mutual agreement between Brother Bai and me, so there's no need to spend any money."

After saying this, the two smiled at each other. Liu Ping'an looked in the direction of Chen Xueru, and saw that she was holding a golden hairpin and playing with it lovingly.

Seeing how much she liked it, Liu Pingan walked up to her and asked, "Why? Are you interested?"

Chen Xueru didn't say anything after hearing this. She glanced at Liu Ping'an, waved the golden hairpin in her hand in front of Liu Ping'an, nodded and didn't say anything. Then her eyes were fixed on the exquisitely crafted golden hairpin in her hand. She didn't say anything, but she said everything.

Seeing her lowering her head and not talking, Liu Ping'an couldn't help but joked, "What's the use of a golden hairpin with your wavy hair?" After saying that, he touched her curly hair.

"You..." Chen Xueru turned her head away after saying this, playing with the golden hairpin in her hand. This time, she was really mad at Liu Ping'an and couldn't speak. This kid is good in everything except that he likes to make her angry when he has nothing to do.

Seeing that Chen Xueru was really angry, Liu Pingan hurriedly said, "If you like it, just tell me. As long as you ask, I will buy it for you. If there is anything else you like, just take it. The shopkeeper will pack it up and take it away later."

After saying this to Chen Xueru, he turned to Shopkeeper Zhuang and said, "Shopkeeper, how much is this golden hairpin?"

The shopkeeper couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the couple's appearance, and then said, "Thank you, 300."

Liu Ping'an calculated the cash he had on him at the moment and found out - damn, there was only more than 50 yuan left.

After looking at the shopkeeper, he asked weakly, "How much?"

Thinking that Liu Ping'an didn't know much about the golden hairpin, the shopkeeper pulled Liu Ping'an up and introduced him, "Our Rongbaozhai has always clearly marked the prices, and the items we sell are all able to stand the test of time."

"Let's not talk about the workmanship of the golden hairpin in this lady's hand. Just the materials used, of which 16 grams of gold are used. According to the current gold price of 8 yuan per gram, it is worth 126 yuan alone, and it is a lot."

"Look at the exquisite workmanship, plus the antique status of this golden hairpin, and the other materials used. It is definitely worth the price. We at Rongbaozhai will not ruin our reputation."

The storekeeper wanted to say something, but Liu Pingan interrupted him and pulled him to a corner. He whispered, "Boss, that's not what I meant. I just don't have enough cash on me right now. Do you accept gold bars?"

"Of course we will. Is that the price? We can only charge according to the official guide price of 8 yuan per gram that I just mentioned. As you know, Rong Bao Zhai is now a public company."

Glancing at the shopkeeper, Liu Pingan said, "I'll go talk to my wife first, and we'll go to the private room to discuss our business later."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Zhuang nodded, called out a waiter from the store loudly, and asked him to greet Chen Xueru first. He then took Liu Ping'an to a private room on the second floor.

At this time, Liu Ping'an was the first to speak: "Shopkeeper Zhuang, there are only two of us now, so I will be frank. I can give you this gold bar at the price you mentioned just now, and the money for the golden hairpin will be directly deducted from this gold bar. After this gold bar is finally in your hands, I will not be responsible for it anymore."

"But, I also have a condition?"

Shopkeeper Zhuang bowed his head and thought, "What are the conditions?"

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Liu Ping'an knew that today's matter was settled.

He immediately said, "I won't make it difficult for the shopkeeper. I just want to ask the shopkeeper to help me keep an eye out for amber on the market. If there is any, please buy it for me. I will accept whatever amount your Rongbaozhai earns, and you can use the official bill."

After hearing what Liu Ping'an said, Shopkeeper Zhuang finally breathed a sigh of relief. This matter was simple for him because he was in this line of business.

Liu Ping'an pretended to search his body, but actually took out his last yellow croaker from the space and handed it to the shopkeeper. He said, "The shopkeeper, I think you know this thing, yellow croaker, 321.5 grams, full. At 8 yuan per gram, the total is 2500 yuan, minus the 300 yuan for the gold step-shake, that's 2200 yuan."

"Please take a closer look and see if there is any problem."

After saying that, he handed over the big yellow croaker in his hand.

The shopkeeper took the big yellow croaker and examined it carefully for a while before saying, "We have questions. Please wait here and I will get you the money."

After saying that, he returned the yellow croaker to Liu Ping'an and told him to wait in the room and he would be back soon. He poured Liu Ping'an a cup of herbal tea and then turned and left.

It is true that Rongbaozhai is now public property, but I heard that it was opened by a man named Zhuang before liberation. Although he is now considered a public servant, no qualified businessman would miss an opportunity to make money like today.

The gold price at this moment is not just the official price of 8 yuan per gram. The price on the black market is even higher, at least in the double digits. If Liu Ping'an were to go outside the mainland, he wouldn't know how much he would be worth, but it would definitely not be lower than the black market price.

After a while, the shopkeeper Zhuang returned to the room with a small wooden box with exquisite workmanship. He came directly to Liu Ping'an's desk, opened it and placed it on the desk. Inside was a pile of big black tens, all in bundles of ten, a total of 22 bundles.

Liu Pingan scanned it with his mental power, and found that there was no problem with the quantity and quality. However, he still pretended to check the quantity, after all, there were still people here.
