Fast Travel: A Record of Unusual Creatures

After staying up for three nights in a row, Mrs. Huang.

She made a new set of clothes for herself and her two children respectively. The children's clothes were made in their style, while her clothes were cut in imitation of the style of the ancient world, which made her feel very sad.

Because the clothes of well-off families in ancient times were made of waste materials, with wide sleeves and long skirts. If they were replaced by short skirts, at least they could save some clothes for their granddaughter.

But Mrs. Huang had no choice but to do it for safety.

On the night after the clothes were finished, she put on ancient clothes, brought glass beads and a glass mirror, and went to Qu Jie to find out. It was not the most kind, but at least there had never been any cases of greed for money or harming others, or fornication among store clerks. A pawnshop where a green-skinned gangster knocks people out.

They still made up the excuse that the old man died of a serious illness, took medicine before his death, and spent all the family's savings. The family was almost in trouble, and sold treasures from overseas.

"Look at this glazed mirror. It reflects people so clearly. The color is so beautiful and festive. If my family hadn't been really short of money, I originally wanted to leave this mirror to my granddaughter as a dowry. Can you tell me if it can be used as a dowry?" How much silver.

By the way, it's a dead giveaway. If I can have the money to redeem it in more than ten years, I'll probably be able to buy another one.

Yes, die for it, die for it..."

Mrs. Huang had practiced this passage at home no less than thirty times, so she said it without any stage fright.

The pawnshop owner looked at the mirror and felt both fondness and disgust. His whole face was twisted because it was really rare to see a glass mirror that reflected people so clearly. It would fetch a high price no matter where it was placed, but the color and frame were so special. He looked really ugly and gaudy.

After struggling for a while, he asked:

"This frame can be taken off, right?"

"Ah? Take..."

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Huang couldn't understand that people didn't like the frame of her mirror. Although she didn't understand what Qu Jie, a fairy, didn't like, and why ancient people didn't like it either, she still said with pity:

"It looks so good, of course it can be taken off. There is a mechanism at the back, and it can be taken off with a little jam.

Let me get it for you..."

Generally speaking, mirrors are easier to break than plastic frames, so the frames are actually movable. If the mirror breaks, you can take out the broken lenses and go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy lenses without frames.

It's still a complete mirror when it's stuck in.

You can save a lot of money!

If she had known she didn't like frames, she would have bought a pair of lenses instead of a frame. However, although she regretted it, she did not stop moving at all, and easily took out the glass lens.

And put it carefully on the table.

Later, the pawnshop owner also carefully picked up the lens, looked at his face first, then looked at the back, and quoted: "A piece of semi-finished glass lens."

"Death, 50 taels of silver."

"Nowadays, glass mirrors are also sold in countries such as Thailand and the West. However, because of the long distances, many broken ones are delivered and few are intact, so the price is more expensive. Moreover, the glass mirrors are not without defects. Not only are they fragile, they will also be damaged after being broken. It is also not valuable, unlike a bronze mirror, no matter how damaged it is, it will not affect the value of the copper itself.

So, the price I gave is already pretty good.

You think about it carefully. "

The first is the quotation, and the second is mainly because Mrs. Huang thinks her quotation is too low, so she explains it properly. Nowadays, a brand-new glass mirror of the same size on the market only sells for 200 taels, but Mrs. Huang is not selling glass mirrors, she is a pawn. The glass mirror is second-hand, and since it doesn’t have a frame, the price is very reasonable.

This is the case in pawnshops. Those who charge half of the original price are the kind people. A [-]% discount or a [-]% discount is normal.

No matter how good the clothes are when they arrive at the pawn shop, they are just a tattered cotton coat. No matter how good the gold jewelry is when it arrives at the pawn shop, it is just a few taels of depreciated gold. The craftsmanship price is directly wiped out by [-] to [-]%, and at most it is slightly more expensive than selling it for gold. So a little bit, after all, if it is really the same price as gold.

Then they might as well just use it as gold.

Old Mrs. Huang is actually very satisfied with the price. You know, 50 taels of silver, converted into silver dollars, is nearly seventy silver dollars. She only spent three yuan on this mirror, but because Qu Jie specially reminded her She couldn't be too happy because of her, so she pretended to be in trouble and spent a while with the pawnshop owner.

Finally, it was grinded from 50 taels to 55 taels.

Then the deed was signed and the handover was carried out.

After that, they sold glass beads. The price of glass beads was relatively stable, one tael of silver each. Mrs. Huang bought 20 glass beads for one yuan and sold them for [-] taels.

After selling the things this time, Mrs. Huang did not go back immediately. Instead, she took Huang Xiaoxiao and Huang Pingan to go shopping. Since they were born, they had never visited a real market where they could trade at will. , I haven’t even been to the supply and marketing cooperative a few times.

Now that Mrs. Huang has money in her hands and confidence, she is not afraid that they will not be able to buy any small things they like when they see them. It just so happens that she also wants to buy some other things that are difficult to buy at the supply and marketing cooperative and require tickets. supplies.

So next they were a family of three.

It was natural for me to start shopping.

And when she saw this, she also wanted to buy, and when she saw that, she also wanted to buy, and she held more than 80 taels, plus the original silver coins, nearly [-] taels of silver. She saw that most things only sold for a few cents. Money, pork and mutton is only more than ten cents per pound. When I buy it without limit, I really feel cheap and I really can't control it.

I can't control my desire to stock up.

After a while, the hands of the two children were full of snacks. The bamboo basket carried by Mrs. Huang was also filled with pork, mutton, fresh fish and shrimp. There was no way, fish and shrimp were too cheap, costing two or three pennies. A piece of fish or shrimp costs ten cents a box, as if it is free of charge.

One tael of silver is worth a thousand coins!

Then buy a lot of things.

Not even a tael of silver was spent.

In the end, it was Qu Jie who reminded Mrs. Huang that the storage capacity of the space is limited and can only be kept for two or three days at most. You can come here at any time and buy chicken, duck, fish, etc. at any time.

There's no need to stock up on so much.

Old Mrs. Huang calmed down a little and hurried back with the things she bought. Then she continued to ask Qu Jie to use holographic projection to create a small moon and stayed up all night to sort it out.

Of course, the main things that need to be processed are pork, fish and shrimp, and the simplest method is to pickle them with salt. Fortunately, Mrs. Huang bought a lot of salt a few days ago, so of course she will continue to stay up late and work Pickle meat, pickle fish, and make shrimp paste.

In order to prevent the smell from being smelled by her neighbors, Mrs. Huang even thought of new ways to use the storage space.

That is to let Qu Jie collect some air into the space, control the air within a certain area, and then take her in, so that when she works inside, there will be no smell outside. The only problem is that Qu Jie needs to pay attention at all times. conditions inside, increasing the air content.

If she let go even a little bit, she would suffocate.
