Traveling through life to become rich

Xie Mingyu had already spent 30 yuan on the jade crown before, and there is still about [-] yuan left in the space.

It was already noon, Xie Mingyu first found a restaurant to have a quick bite to eat, and then spent 30 yuan on an ice jade bracelet with green flowers, and detoured to Ruide's pawn shop.

This is his ultimate goal of inquiring about jade prices.

When I entered the door, I saw a sitting cabinet, and a court priest about 50 years old was drinking tea in it.

When Chao Feng saw someone coming, he put down the teacup and asked lazily, "What is the guest pawning?"

"Emerald Jade Bracelet." Xie Mingyu didn't care about the mocking attitude, opened the box and put it on the counter.

Chao Feng glanced at the box with squinted eyes, then his expression changed, he sat up straight instantly, and said in a more earnest tone, "This item is very valuable, can the guest officer go to the back room to discuss it in detail?"

"Okay." Xie Mingyu replied bluntly, and then closed the box and held it in his hand. Immediately, a small court servant took him into the back room and offered him a cup of hot tea.

The old Chaofeng from before quickly came over, holding a round glass lens in his hand, smiling kindly, and greeted Xie Mingyu very warmly: "This old man is Manager Li of Ruide's Pawnshop. May I ask the guest officer what his name is?"

"It's good for the shopkeeper to call me Xiao Xie." Xie Mingyu said lightly.

"Haha, Mr. Xie, welcome, can I let the old man take a closer look at the jade bracelet just now?" Shopkeeper Li asked quickly.

"Naturally." Xie Mingyu said and handed the jade bracelet to Shopkeeper Li, "Treasurer Li, please."

Shopkeeper Li put on the glazed lens and cleaned his hands before opening the box and taking out the jade bracelet.

When he saw it, he was overjoyed, because the water head of this jade was so good, it was the best jadeite bracelet he had seen over the years.

There is a saying that "the outsider looks at the color, and the insider looks at the species", which means that the quality of the water determines the quality of a piece of jadeite. The emerald jade bracelet that Xie Mingyu looked at in Jinyu Mantang before is good for everything. The water head is a little worse.

Of course, the color tone and distribution also greatly affect the value of jadeite. Green jadeite is the most respected, and the color tone is pure and not evil.

The jadeite bracelet that Xie Mingyu took out is very good. The base is light purple. Although green is rare, the color is bright and pure. Against the background of good planting water, the whole jadeite bracelet is full of green and full of vitality, which seems to be the finishing touch. , the icing on the cake, it is worth a lot of money at a glance.

Of course, it was much better than the green jadeite bracelet I saw at Jinyumantang before. Since such a bracelet can be sold for 320 taels, his one is naturally more valuable.

Shopkeeper Li deserves to be in the pawn business. Although he liked it very much in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face. He carefully put it back into the box and asked, "This jade bracelet is not bad. I wonder how much Mr. Xie is asking for?"

"Naturally, the shopkeeper will ask the price first." Xie Mingyu naturally wouldn't ask the price at will, and it would be a pity if it was less.

Shopkeeper Li rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "Young Master Xie is straightforward, so the old man will stop talking nonsense. Mr. Xie, your jade bracelet is really good. The water is translucent. The fly in the ointment is that although the green color is pure, it is too rare. , the old man offered 300 taels, which is a sky-high price, I wonder if Mr. Xie is satisfied?"

300 taels of silver is indeed a lot, but with the green jadeite bracelet she saw at the Jinyu Mantang earlier, Xie Mingyu had already made up her mind, so her face was very calm, without showing any clues, and said softly: " Shopkeeper Li, the color of my jade bracelet is pure green, and the seed water is also crystal clear, which belongs to the top grade. The shopkeeper’s asking price is 300 taels. It seems that I have no sincerity to do this transaction. That’s all, so I will go to other pawnshops Let's go and have a look." As he said that, he was about to get up.

Hearing what he said, shopkeeper Li knew that although he was young, he was not easy to fool around, but he really didn't want to let such a fine jadeite go, so he stopped him with a smile: "Don't worry, Mr. Xie, everything is easy to discuss, then How much silver do you think is appropriate?"

Xie Mingyu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "600 taels, even one tael less."

Shopkeeper Li was a little confused when he heard his offer of 600 taels. The price was indeed a bit high. Even if he sold it to those silver houses later, there would not be much profit to be made.

Xie Mingyu didn't urge him, and slowly drank a cup of tea, but shopkeeper Li still didn't make up his mind, with a troubled face, his beard was about to break, and he knew that the price was almost the peak.

Xie Mingyu thought for a while, then entered the space again in a flash in his mind, and spent [-] yuan to buy a pair of Zhengyang green jadeite earrings made of glass.

Then he put his hand in his bosom, pretending to take it out of his bosom, opened it and placed it side by side with the jadeite bracelet on the table: "If the shopkeeper accepts my price, then I will pawn this earring together. The price, 200 taels .”

Shopkeeper Li couldn't take his eyes off the emerald earrings when he saw them, holding them in his hand to appreciate them carefully.

This pair of earrings is made of glass, the texture is flawless, round and transparent, and the sufficient water head makes the jadeite of the whole pair of earrings look like green water drops that are about to fall. What's more, the shape of the earrings is very unique, inlaid with silver. Flowing clouds and flowing water brushed through my heart, shining crystal clear.

Shopkeeper Li's heart was burning with enthusiasm. If such things were resold, they would definitely make a lot of profit.

Only then did he secretly look at Xie Mingyu, and seeing that he was dressed gorgeously and looked dignified, he guessed that he might be the young master of some wealthy family, and when he had no money to spend, he took the precious jewelry from the family as pawns.

These two pieces of jadeite jewelry are both top-grade, and shopkeeper Li knows their value. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Well, the two items add up to 700 taels. No more is really enough. This is the highest price. If you don't believe me, thank you Young master, you can go to other pawnshops to inquire, there will be no higher price than the old man."

"800 taels, one tael can't be less, and I will sign it to death directly, and I won't redeem it later." Xie Mingyu said lightly.

Shopkeeper Li's eyes lit up when he heard that he had signed the contract. In this way, he would not have to worry about the three-month retention period. As long as someone offered a good price, he could sell it at any time, and he could still make a lot of money.

So he smiled and agreed: "Okay! Mr. Xie is so happy, if I hesitate again, I will look embarrassed! Let's go to the ticket counter to issue tickets!"

After that, he filled out the pawn ticket, made a pawn registration and pledged it, and then shopkeeper Li gave him the 800 taels of silver note. Xie Mingyu didn't stay long, thanked him, took the silver and left.
