Chapter 19 Go to the pawn shop to sell glass
Leaving the grain store, Xu Huaiyi walked along the street with a solemn expression for about a cup of tea, and found a pawn shop. The front door looked very grand, and the plaque read "Shenglong Pavilion".
He raised his head and took a few glances, then walked in.
The waiter at the pawn shop was wiping the counter with a rag in boredom. When he heard the noise, the smile that had just risen on his face fell down again in frustration when he looked up and saw the man wearing a patchwork shorts.
"Is something wrong?"
Xu Huaiyi didn't mind the little boy's scornful look and nodded, "This is a pawn shop, right? Can you pawn anything?"
The young man curled his lips and said, "Do you think we are here to collect rags, and we want everything worthless? Okay, this is not a place for people like you to come in, so hurry up and don't delay our business..."
As he spoke, he chased people away, with no concealment of contempt and disgust on his face.
Xu Huaiyi took a deep breath, silently recited his wife's reminder, and tried not to cause trouble outside, so he maintained his calmness, but his voice became colder, as if it was filled with ice shards, "Don't bully a young man who is poor, why are you so stupid?" Do you know that I don’t have anything valuable with me? When your shop opens its doors for business, do you just treat the customers who come to your door as beggars?”
The boy was stunned by what he said, and when he touched his cold eyes, he shrank for a moment, "You, you..."
At this time, a middle-aged man walked out from the room. He was wearing a silk gown and a beard. He looked very serious, but his eyes were shrewd. He looked at Xu Huaiyi calmly and asked. It’s the little guy, “What’s going on?”
The young boy bent down and explained anxiously, "Shopkeeper Yao, he, he said he wanted to come as a pawn, and the little one..."
Shopkeeper Yao still didn't understand anything, so he waved his hand to interrupt, and said politely to Xu Huaiyi, "This guest officer, it's the shop assistant who is being rude."
Regardless of whether they were sincere or not, after apologizing, Xu Huaiyi walked down the steps with the same polite attitude, "It's okay, the shopkeeper is being polite, it's all a misunderstanding..."
Shopkeeper Yao's doubts deepened. He had never seen such a person. He was obviously wearing a patch, but he didn't look sour. Especially his expression. He was not at all nervous and uneasy. He was calm and like a young master from a wealthy family. His attitude was more cautious. "May I ask, guest officer, what do you want to be?"
Xu Huaiyi casually took out a cloth bag from his arms and handed it to his hand, "Please take a look first to see how much money this thing is worth."
Shopkeeper Yao took it over. Although he was curious, he didn't take it seriously. He had worked in the pawnshop for more than ten years and had never seen anything rare, so he didn't expect any surprises. However, when he When he opened the linen wrappings layer by layer to reveal what was inside, his eyes widened in disbelief and he almost screamed in surprise.
But the boy didn't have the patience anymore and blurted out, "Liu Li?"
This sound woke up shopkeeper Yao, and he subconsciously covered the linen cloth again, and his movements became more cautious, for fear of falling. When he looked at Xu Huaiyi, his expression became more respectful, and he enthusiastically invited him to the private room.
After the little boy came to his senses, he also served the tea and poured water with great discernment and an eager attitude.
Xu Huaiyi was neither humble nor arrogant from beginning to end.
After entering the private room, shopkeeper Yao carefully caressed the glass ornament in his hand with shining eyes. The ornament was not big, probably a little more than a palm. It was shaped like a horse with its front hooves raised as if it was galloping. On the way, the horse is extremely moving.
In fact, the carving of this horse is not very exquisite. After all, it is not the work of a master. What makes it better is the material, which is crystal clear and looks amazing.
Also very rare to see.
Shopkeeper Yao couldn't put it down, and his heartbeat was almost unbalanced. This was a treasure, a treasure with a price but no market. If he presented it with his own hands, then he...
After a moment, he calmed down, his eyes fell on Xu Huaiyi, and he secretly thought about what price he should give.
Xu Huaiyi drank from the tea bowl calmly and leisurely. His movements were not as elegant as those of nobles, but they were not rude either. He was very comfortable.
Shopkeeper Yao had some concerns in his mind, but he still couldn't help but asked, "How much money do you want, sir?"
When Xu Huaiyi heard this, he smiled honestly and said sincerely, "Of course I want more money, the better, but in this business, we can't do it wishfully. Both the buyer and seller must be happy to make it happen, so it's Yao The shopkeeper should make a price first. If I think it’s successful, then we’ll pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. If it doesn’t work, then we’ll discuss it again..."
What he said was true, and he looked honest, but shopkeeper Yao didn't dare to underestimate him. He frowned and pondered for a moment, then raised two fingers.
Xu Huaiyi blinked his big eyes, "Two thousand taels?"
Shopkeeper Yao, "..."
You must be so poor that you are crazy, right?
"Could it be 20,000?"
"Ahem..." Shopkeeper Yao choked. He picked up the cup and drank a few sips before regaining his breath. He said with a dry smile, "Sir, please don't make fun of the shop. I'm talking about two hundred taels... …”
Xu Huaiyi said an incomprehensible "Oh", and then nothing more happened.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became deadlocked.
In the end, shopkeeper Yao couldn't hold back his anger and spoke again, "If the guest is not satisfied, we can discuss it again..."
Xu Huaiyi nodded happily, "Let's discuss it. How much more can the shopkeeper give me?"
Shopkeeper Yao asked tentatively, "Fifty taels?"
The corner of Xu Huaiyi's mouth twitched, did he mean two hundred and five?
He said nothing and just stared at Shopkeeper Yao.
Shopkeeper Yao said cruelly and risking his life, "One hundred taels, no more, no matter how many shops there are, they can't afford it..."
Xu Huaiyi's ability to observe people's emotions is still very good. He can see that the price can go up further and does not touch the bottom line of shopkeeper Yao. However, he does not intend to take it anymore. Too much money will be too hot, so he should stop when enough is enough. It's a smart move.
So, after careful consideration, he pretended to be helpless and regretful and said, "Okay, three hundred taels is just three hundred taels. Alas, it's a big loss. This glass is a priceless treasure. If I hadn't been in urgent need of silver, I wouldn't have done it." meeting……"
Tell half and leave half, leaving endless room for imagination.
Shopkeeper Yao had indeed made up a lot of things in his mind, but no matter how dare he thought or guessed, he never expected that this so-called priceless treasure was actually worth dozens of dollars. At the moment, it was worth about a pound of wheat.
For three hundred taels of silver, Xu Huaiyi asked for two hundred and fifty taels of silver notes, and the rest was silver. It was the first time he saw ancient money, and he tried hard to suppress his country bumpkin's curious expression. When the delivery was clear, he was far away. Finally, he avoided people and took out a piece of silver from his arms to appreciate it.
The pawn shop gave him silver ingots, one ingot was ten taels. He didn't know the quality, but he felt that the silver was shining, very round and pleasing to the eye.
No wonder the dumplings are made into the shape of ingots, which really makes people happy.
