40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

Yun Feifei came out of the foreign goods store and went to the department store before reaching the pawnshop.

This is a three-story department store and an arcade-style building.

It adopts a combination of Chinese and Western styles, with various patterns and reliefs, which is pleasing to the eye and breathtaking.

When Yun Feifei saw the department store, it was like she was seeing the shopping mall in her world.

The first floor sells tea, canned food, food, hardware, stationery...

The second floor is for silk, cloth, suits, shoes, leather goods, cosmetics...

The third floor is for clocks, gold and silver jewelry, electrical appliances, musical instruments, bicycles...

Yun Feifei walked around the department store. Most of the items sold there were imported from foreign countries, and only a small number were domestic products.

She also discovered several valuable items, such as lipsticks and perfumes in the cosmetics counter, which cost from a few dollars to several hundred dollars.

The electrical appliances include phonographs, desk lamps, fans, tape recorders, etc.

These things are undoubtedly foreign products, and they are extremely expensive.

Despite the high price, Yun Feifei still spent a lot of money to buy canned meat and fruit with labels printed in foreign languages.

This trip to the department store also allowed her to understand the prices of many items, but it also used up all the money she had on hand. She wanted to go shopping but had no money to spend.

Yun Feifei rode forward with her head down, heading straight to the pawnshop.

It didn't take long for Yun Feifei to arrive at the pawnshop. On the door of the shop hung a plaque with a black background and gold letters that read "Pawn Shop".

As soon as you enter the pawn shop, you will see a tall counter with two layers of nets made of thick wooden sticks, leaving only a small hole.

Yun Feifei walked forward and took out a crystal ball music box from the backpack. There was a little girl in a skirt inside the crystal ball.

There was a chain on the base of the crystal ball. Yun Feifei twisted it a few times, and pleasant music came out, accompanied by lights.

"Shopkeeper, can you help me see how much this is worth?"

Yun Feifei held up the music box and handed it to the shopkeeper inside through the hole in the counter.

At the same time, she saw that there was only a small compartment inside the counter, with two people standing inside and a door leading to the inner room.

Just now in the foreign goods store, Yun Feifei asked about the prices of many music boxes there. Those music boxes were large, heavy and very expensive.

This music box of mine is small and has lights, so I think it can be sold for three to five hundred dollars! !

She believed that this music box, which came from another world in the future, was the only one here.

The shopkeeper, wearing gloves, took the music box from Yun Feifei's hand and examined it carefully. After a long while, he looked at Yun Feifei.

"Are you going to pawn it alive or dead?"

"Death—"

"Six hundred dollars, what do you think?"

When Yun Feifei heard the price quoted by the shopkeeper, she found it was higher than she expected. She was wondering whether she should pawn a few more music boxes or exchange them for other things.

Yun Feifei just thought about it without answering. The shopkeeper became very anxious when he saw that Yun Feifei didn't answer.

[He had never seen this music box before. Could it be a new product from foreigners? It’s small, but the sound quality is beautiful, and there are lights. The glass is transparent... This thing is definitely good. It can be sold for more than a thousand dollars! This is still a conservative estimate!]

[Why didn't she agree? Did she think the price was too low? Thinking that if he took the music box to the provincial government to sell it, the price would only be higher, he was not calm.]

"Eight hundred dollars, this is the highest price I've ever offered, you see—"

[It turns out that you can bargain here. Of course, the things are for sale, and the higher the price, the better! ]

"This music box of mine is one-of-a-kind!" Yun Feifei said, then raised her head and looked straight at the shopkeeper.

"Eight hundred dollars is indeed a lot. Where can you find a music box worth so much?"

Yun Feifei didn't say anything. She stood on tiptoe, raised her hands high, and went up to the counter to take the music box back.

"Forget it, I don't want to be one anymore!"

The shopkeeper looked at it and quickly pulled the music box towards him. "One thousand dollars, do you want to take it? If you want to take it, write a receipt."

The shopkeeper said this as he reluctantly handed the music box to Yun Feifei.
