Chapter 479 Pure and impure gold

Because their things are all precious things, and the content of the transaction is not only to sell, but sometimes to collect.

So there can't be a little difference.

It has been subdivided from catty and two to the unit of money.

For the most detailed distinction, for general merchants, it is not bad to divide it into two.

But the merchant who borrowed a small name also made everyone look a little weird. Is this for this new bank?Or is everyone joining hands to exclude xenophobia?

The big guy's complexion was even worse.

After bringing the things in front of everyone, Tie Qing first poured a bowl of water, then poured the water in the bowl into the other two bowls in turn, and then weighed it with a small scale, the kind that was not bad for a penny.

Let everyone see clearly that the three bowls can hold exactly the same amount of water.

"You can see it all, the weight is exactly the same." Tie Qing looked around.

Everyone nodded: "I see, I see."

Then Tie Qing asked the middle-aged man: "How much does your gold bracelet weigh?"

"A whole lot of taels!" The Wang family's husband immediately said: "At the beginning, the price was 120 taels, and they gave me 120 taels for free, and I spent [-] taels of silver."

The crowd was in an uproar!

With such an expensive gold bracelet, it's no wonder Mr. Wang's husband is so anxious.

"The price is quite cheap." Dongzi shook his head. The asking price for a gold bracelet of the same weight in their family is 140 taels, which cannot be lowered by a cent.

Because in addition to the value of the gold itself, there is also the craftsmanship money of the jewelry master, as well as some additional expenses.

With such a low price and such a big discount, it's no wonder Mr. Wang's husband didn't come to buy from him, but went to the next door instead.

Tie Qing nodded, and asked the big man again: "Do you have a coin called gold and silver in your family?"

"Who doesn't have it?" The big man said angrily, "You want more?"

"Yes!" Tie Qing said as a matter of course: "Your family brought one, who else has it? Find me another one."

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" This time, it was the person from another silver shop next door who shouted, "The scales in my shop are the most accurate! I'll bring them here for you."

This street is originally a gold and silver street, and all the shops are basically gold shops and silver buildings.

Most of the people who can come here to buy things are either rich or expensive.

A small number of them are also middle-class families, and the poor cannot afford things here.

Not long after, someone fetched the small scale and handed it to Tie Qing.

Tie Qing first put the two scales together, they were similar in appearance, except that there was their own shop's mark on them: "Come on, Mr. Wang's husband, first put the gold bracelet in your hand on it and weigh it."

"Okay!" Wang's husband also trusted Tie Qing, and handed the gold bracelet to Tie Qing.

Tie Qing took the gold bracelet, put it on the scale and weighed it: "As expected, it's exactly two taels, not a single cent."

After the big guy heard this, he immediately said: "Let me just say it? There will be no problem with the things from our store. It's his nonsense."

Mrs. Wang's tears were about to come down again.

Tie Qing waved his hand: "The same weight does not mean the same purity."

The big guy choked, his face was a little embarrassing, the others didn't pay attention to him, they were all watching Tie Qing's next move.

After weighing, Tie Qing put the gold bracelet in the first bowl.

"Fu Lang, please give me two taels of silver." Tie Qing stretched out his hand openly, asking for money from Xiao Fu Lang.

Very righteous, the others were stunned, this guy doesn't care about money?Ask Furo for money?Not guilty at all.

Brother Xiao hurriedly took two silver coins from his purse and gave it to him: "This is the money I got from the Yamen."

These two ounces of silver zippers look like they are pure silver.

"Thank you, Fulang." Tie Qing smiled at him, turned around and put the silver on the scale: "My silver is also worth two taels."

A group of people saw that the front sight did not move at all, and it was really not bad, so they all nodded in agreement.

Tie Qing picked up the silver, put it in the second bowl, and said to Tian Cui: "Give me a few copper coins, new ones are the best."

"Oh oh oh!" Tian Cui directly gave the money bag to Tie Qing.

Tie Qing took out a few brand-new copper coins, which were probably the lucky money Tian Cui brought for the children, and they were all new ones: "These copper coins add up to two taels."

After speaking, he also weighed it, and then put the copper coins into the third bowl.

Seeing this moment, everyone was a little puzzled, not to mention the big guy and the Wang family, even some literati and brothers couldn't understand it.

Is this a gaha?

Tie Qing only cared about demonstrating, not explaining, he picked up the kettle beside him and started pouring water one by one.

All three bowls were filled precisely, no more, no less.

Putting down the kettle, Tie Qing said to everyone: "Everyone knows that gold is the heaviest, and at the same weight, the gold nugget is naturally the smallest. There are three types of gold, silver, and copper, and the bowls are generally the same size. They all weigh the same. You have all seen that these things are taken by someone, not a family, so you can’t cheat. If the gold bracelet is pure enough, take out the things in the bowl, and the bowl of water that holds the gold bracelet should have the most water left.”

Having said that, Tie Qing raised the chopsticks cage, opened it, took out a new pair of chopsticks, and picked out the contents of the three bowls lightly and deftly: "You can tell if the pure color is not enough."

Everyone went up to have a look, only to find that the bowl of water in which the gold bracelets were placed was actually less than the bowl of water in which the silver handles were placed, and only a little higher than the bowl in which the copper coins were placed.

What else is there to say?

There was an uproar! !

I don't know who the big man is, his voice is very high, and he immediately shouted: "It really is a fake! This store is so bold, it dares to sell gold bracelets for dowry. It is not pure in color, it is really abominable! "

Selling fake gold and silver, and gold and silver products with impure color, is a felony, and if you catch it, you will have to see an official!

That guy has done a lot of this kind of thing, and he has been safe and sound. How could he think that there is really a way to test the fineness of the gold bracelet without moving it?

Can't help being anxious, yelling: "Shut up, shut up! This love has been tossing around for a long time, who knows if it's true or not? You should take a piece of gold that weighs the same two taels to try!"

This is a life and death gamble!

How could there be pure gold in the gold store and the silver building?

Most of them will add a little brass or something, but he just added a little too much.

He took the rest of the gold away, and made a huge fortune for it.

When he yelled, the others were a little speechless. No one could guarantee that the gold in their shop was very pure, and they all lived in this street. No matter what the situation, these people who do business are watching each other.

As for the spectators, who has nothing to do with two taels of gold on their body?

Wang's husband was also dumbfounded, he felt that he was a little dizzy with the development of today's matter.

"Okay!" Tie Qing calmly took out two gold ingots: "Look carefully, these are gold ingots from the Ministry of Household Treasury, don't try to say that my gold is impure."

This is a little thing he carries around to play with.

It came from the household department treasury, so it must be pure!

There is also the imprint of the Treasury of the Ministry of Finance on it.

"Ah?" Everyone felt that they couldn't grasp the direction of the development of this matter. Who else could have a golden scorpion from the treasury of the household department?

The two golden ingots are very charming.

But Tie Qing took a bite!

Showed the shining tooth marks to everyone: "This golden lock can't be faked!"

"It's true!" A man who looked like a literati came up to take a look: "My cousin works in the household department, and last year he gave me two of these little things as pocket money."

Who dares to say that the golden scorpion from the treasury of the household department of the imperial court is a fake?

Tie Qing emptied the bowl where the copper coins were placed before, put his two small gold ingots in it, and refilled it with water.He took a breath, concentrated, picked up the chopsticks again, and gently picked out the small gold ingot.

"It's really high! It's high!" someone shouted.

Among the three bowls, the bowl with the small gold ingots had the most water left, which was a bit higher than the bowl with the broken silver.

Comparing the two, what is the fineness of the gold bracelet?It's clear at a glance!

"What a profiteer!"

"Take them to the officer!"

"Don't let this scum go!"

And that good thing encouraged Tie Qing: "Test the jewelry next to his house again!"

The crowd suddenly cried out in righteous indignation.

No wonder they were so excited.

It is not easy for anyone to buy gold jewelry. If it is fake and the color is not pure, how troublesome it is?

The big guy wanted to retreat, to enter and close the shop, but so many people were filled with righteous indignation, he really couldn't retreat, and some people broke into their silver building, and the customers inside also saw what was going on outside, and no one bought them. I don’t want to buy anything from home, no matter how cheap it is, who is willing to buy a fake to go back?

Impure gold and silver products will only be bought back if you are stupid.

People inside want to come out, people outside want to go in, and the scene is a mess.

Tie Qing fished out his own stuff and stuffed it to Brother Xiao: "Let's go!"

"Hey!" Brother Xiao looked at Tie Qing with sparkling eyes: "Sir, you are so smart."

Tian Cui also looked at Tie Qing in surprise, this method is usually used by some big households to test the purity of gold and silver, and Tie Qing can do it.

It's amazing!

"It's just a small trick." Tie Qing said: "Then Mr. Wang's husband will know what's good this time. If he buys such an expensive thing, he still needs to find a bank with a good reputation."

"That's for sure, that's for sure!" Tian Cuishi nodded hastily.

They just slipped away quietly. They didn't know that not long after they left, officers, soldiers and yamen servants patrolling the city rushed over, sealed the shop, and arrested everyone in it. Mrs. Wang returned the goods and took them Yinzi went to Dongzi, and would rather spend more money than buy a real one for his brother.

But when he inquired about Tie Qing and their group, Dongzi shook his head: "It's just a kind-hearted person passing by, you should go back quickly, and be careful with such a valuable thing."

"I know, I hired two yamen servants to take me back." Mr. Wang's husband learned his lesson this time: "I'm not afraid."

"Then be careful." Dongzi sent him out.

The next door has already been sealed, and a few big guys came over: "Brother Dongzi, you really have a way to make that guest yell at the next door and close the door right away."

"The family next door has a lot of means of doing business, but they have too much. They don't know that there are people outside the sky, and there is a sky outside the sky. To be a human being, it's better to be honest. The same is true for you. Have you seen that big guy? He was dragged to death by the yamen. Going back, is it shameful or not? The business next door may not be able to continue." Dongzi farmer thought for a while: "Get ready, our Tianhuayin Building should be lively."

Killing a competitor next door is a good thing!

When they were discussing this matter, Tie Qing was taking his child, Fu Lang, to eat fish at the old man's fish stew pot.

This family is indeed very good at cooking fish, each of the Kaijiang fish has seeds, and they even made a large basin of fish bowls for the two children.

In fact, the fish is put into the water to remove the fish gall, and the miso is mixed with duck eggs and steamed in the cage.

The fish inside is mostly fish roe and fish bubbles, which is convenient to eat and has no fish bones.

While eating, a person came in, Tie Qing was sitting at the door, and he saw this person at once, it was the fat scribe who brought him a pot of water just now.

"I said it looks familiar, this Mr. Tieqing, I'm Rubin below!" Wen Rubin cupped his hands: "Your methods today are really eye-opening!"
