Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

"Madam, you have such good taste. This piece of jade is as good as you want. If you buy it and take it with you, you will definitely be safe."

The waiter talked sweetly and showed off his sales skills. He said that Yu Ruyi existed in the sky but not on the earth, and that there would be no such store beyond this village.

"There are several tables of people waiting behind you, look..."

The guy's meaning was obvious. This piece of jade was as he wished, but Li Haitang didn't want it, and there were still people rushing to buy it.

She knew all the tricks of hunger marketing to get people to take the bait, but now, she had to take the bait.

Indeed, Jade Ruyi is very important to Zhang Ruyi. If she doesn't buy such an important thing and lives abroad, she won't be able to get it back no matter how much money she spends.

"Of course I know, I'll look at something else."

Li Haitang put down Yu Ruyi, glanced at the three trays, and then asked, "Is that all there is?"

"Yes, our Ruyi Building does not sell goods. Basically, it is sold within a short time of collection."

After the boy finished speaking, he went out to get something again, but this time what he brought was from the previous inventory. The style was relatively old and not favored by anyone who came, so it had been left to collect dust.

When buying things in Ruyi Building or the entire Jewelry Street, you must abide by one rule: do not ask about the source or the origin.

This is a rule shared by buyers and stores, and Li Haitang cannot break it.

Except for Zhang Ruyi's jade Ruyi, the others were all relatively rare jewelry, but Li Haitang wasn't interested at all.

"Brother, how much is the minimum price for this piece of jade?"

Li Haitang asked in a low voice, but thought in his heart that he would have to find out the reason no matter what.

Follow the rules here, what if you leave Deyi Building?

"Madam, just call me Xiaozhu."

The waiter nodded and bowed, smiling together. If a big deal was made, he would get a commission and could buy more things to take home this month.

"Xiao Zhuzhu, okay, I'm attracted to Yu Ruyi."

Li Haitang didn't look confused and said frankly because she had to capture Yu Ruyi in the shortest possible time. The important things of good sisters cannot be lost outside.

She also saw that even if there was a counter-offer, it would probably not be much. After all, the business was not done in the right way, and the merchant just wanted to get rid of the goods quickly, sell the things, and get back the money quickly.

Therefore, if there is a profit and the price is about the same, I will probably sell it.

"Madam, you are a happy person. The small one is not ambiguous. You have seen the fineness of this Ruyi jade. It is definitely a rare item. The boss gave us the low price, three thousand taels of silver, one copper plate less. You are all satisfied. Can’t take it away.”

Xiaozhu didn't want to go back and forth and directly offered the lowest price. He whispered, "You also know that if this thing is in a pawn shop, it can be pawned for at least a few thousand taels, but those who can afford this jade pendant must have status. What do you think of our people and our things? You also know where they came from."

Anyone who dares to put it in a pawn shop if it comes from a wrong place may be beheaded if something happens.

That's why things in jewelry streets are cheap, because buyers and sellers also have to bear risks, even if they are unlikely to meet the original owner.

Three thousand taels is indeed very cheap. Li Haitang still remembers that Zhang Ruyi told me that this piece of jade Ruyi cost only five thousand taels when I bought such a small piece of jade, not counting the carving by famous craftsmen. The labor costs paid.

Moreover, gold is valuable and jade is priceless. How much silver you want depends on how much you like it. If you meet a big customer at the auction, you can easily sell it for ten thousand taels of silver.

"That's it, Xiaozhu, it's a deal."

Li Haitang agreed immediately, and then asked if there were delivery and other services.

"We really don't have this."

In a transaction where you pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other hand, both the seller and the buyer will pretend not to know each other after exiting the door of Deyilou. How can they deliver the goods at their doorstep?

In addition, in order to protect privacy, customers will not disclose where they live, for fear that the store will take advantage of them and find ways to steal the purchased items back and resell them for money.

Li Haitang nodded. What the guy said made sense, but she couldn't find out where the things came from.

"Can you still sell new goods here?"

Seeing that there was no one in the private room, Li Haitang asked Xiao Zhuzi in a low voice, "I'm leaving tomorrow. If there are any good things..."

Some words couldn't be explained clearly, but Xiaozhu understood them immediately.

They only have a small amount of money in Deyilou. If they introduce customers individually, they will get at least a hundred taels of commission after the transaction is completed.

The lady in front of me took out three thousand taels without blinking her eyes. It showed that she had a strong foundation and wanted to buy some jewelry to keep privately.

But they have rules in Deyilou. The clerks are not allowed to solicit people for transactions privately. If they are discovered, they will lose their jobs.

Therefore, Xiao Zhuzi was still a little hesitant, but he knew that many of the clerks who left had tasted the benefits. Some of them had taken thousands of taels in the middle, so they naturally despised the job of a clerk.

A few thousand taels of silver is enough to buy a house and property. Wouldn't it be nice to be a landlord? Why bother looking at other people’s eyes here!

However, he had to consider that if the other party didn't like him and he was reported again, the loss would be huge.

"In this case, madam, if you are interested, I would like to introduce you to the person who handles Yu Ruyi. However, if our boss knows about this, my work will be over."

Xiaozhu took a deep breath. He earned at least five taels of silver every month in Deyilou, which was really a lot. He couldn't bear to part with such a good place.

He used to work as a waiter in a restaurant, and he would get one or two taels every month including rewards, but he would also be scolded by the customers.

"Don't worry, if you are willing to introduce me, I will give you two hundred taels of benefits. If it succeeds, I will give you a commission."

Seeing that there was a way out, Li Haitang didn't care about the money. She wanted to know now, which bastard stole something from her good sister!

It's too late now. Xiao Zhuzhu will have a rest tomorrow morning and will be in time to contact him. He and Li Haitang agreed to meet at a teahouse in Luo City and discuss it in detail then.

In order to stabilize people's hearts, she took out 3,100 taels, and gave 100 taels to Xiaozhu, so that he could taste the sweetness before speaking. Otherwise, she was worried that the other party would be timid and fearful of things, and would regret it temporarily.

Xiao Lingchuan never spoke, and the two of them were also silent on the road.

After waiting at the inn, he saw Li Haitang's serious face and couldn't help but ask, "What's the difference about this piece of jade Ruyi?"

"Husband, this is my sister's jade pendant."

The sister Li Haitang was talking about was Zhang Ruyi. The two of them were sworn friends, so their relationship was naturally different from others.

Zhang Ruyi takes great care of her things, so how could she possibly fly to Luo City with long legs?

"Look, the reason why I'm so sure is because I was the one who made the knot."

Li Haitang told the whole story, and two big words immediately flashed in Xiao Lingchuan's mind, "Bandits!"

"What...what?" Li Haitang's expression changed immediately and she almost sat on the ground. She really forgot about this and put the suspect on the Lu family's mother and son. She really shouldn't have!
