Xu Ji is the largest immortal library in Tongzhou City, so if it is something else, it doesn't matter.

Shopkeeper Ding has been engaged in the pawnbroking industry for twenty or thirty years, and has never seen such a pure texture of glazed ware, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the treasures of the world are not exaggerated, not to mention that the owner will blame if he misses it, even if he himself will regret it.

It's just that he feels that he has seen through Wang Chen's tricks to get away with it.

In order to maximize the benefits, Shopkeeper Ding hesitated for a while, pretended to shake his head, and sighed: "The transaction is not benevolent, Young Master Wang, if you look for a buyer again, I should have met such a friend as you." ”

The asking price is too high?

Isn't a glass tea set worth a hundred taels of gold?

Wang Chen was a little disappointed, the reserve price in his heart was one hundred taels of gold, and it was impossible to sell it cheaply, so he had to stand up and pack up his things, and said in the style of modern people: "Okay, I will have a chance to eat together when I turn back." ”

Shopkeeper Ding stood still and watched Wang Chen pack up his things.

In his opinion, if Wang Chen wants to get away with it, he will definitely take the initiative to negotiate the price with him later.

Wang Chen packed up the glass tea set.

Wang Chen beckoned Wang Yuncang to walk outside.

Wang Chen had already left the private room and was about to arrive in the lobby.

Wang Chen really walked out of the Xu Ji Changsheng Library......

Shopkeeper Ding, who had been staring at the back, couldn't hold back any longer, and the two-legged Hot Wheels seemed to chase him out of the door, grabbed Wang Chen's arm, and said with a smile: "Young Master Wang! Don't go! Don't go! I agreed to this business!"

Doorway.

Wang Chen looked back for a moment, he thought it was really about talking about it and was going to find a pawnshop again, but he didn't expect the shopkeeper Ding to chase him out? He didn't go in immediately, and said, "One hundred taels of gold?"

"A hundred taels of gold will not be available for a while. Shopkeeper Ding let go of his hand.

If you don't have money, you can tell a few handfuls.

Wang Chen didn't say a word, turned around and left again.

Shopkeeper Ding hurriedly pulled him again, "Hey, you listened to the old man's words." ”

Wang Chen and Wang Yuncang looked over again.

Shopkeeper Ding explained: "One hundred taels of gold is not a small amount, and there is generally not so much money in the shop, and you also know that gold and silver are scarce in this dynasty, and copper coins are used in transactions, and I only have seven hundred copper coins in this one, if you want, I can let people hurry to Yangzhou City to inform the owner and ask him to send one hundred taels of gold over." ”

Indeed, how can an ordinary pawnshop always have the equivalent of more than one million cash in modern society?

Now it is the Northern Song Dynasty, unlike modern science and technology, information exchange, if the staff of the store smuggles away with money, it is not so easy to arrest.

On the other hand, what if you encounter a thief who robs your house?

The boss put 700 yuan in the store, which shows that he has the most trust in the shopkeeper Ding.

A normal pawnshop is a thing, and it costs dozens of taels of silver, no one would have thought that they would meet a person like Wang Chen who has a strange treasure and wants to die!

Wang Chen understands these truths, but he can't wait.

Yangzhou is almost 1670 kilometers away from Tongzhou in a straight line, and according to the roads of the Northern Song Dynasty, it will take at least two or three days to arrive even if you are fast, and it will take five or six days to come and go.

"I want money now. Wang Chen said unwillingly.

Shopkeeper Ding smiled bitterly: "I want to take it out for you, no." After speaking, he added, "I won't tell you anything, Xu Ji's inventory money is definitely a lot in the Changsheng Treasury of Tongzhou City, even if you go to other houses, they won't be able to take out so much money." ”

Wang Chen frowned, "What should I do then?"

Hey, don't say it, I really came up with an idea for Shopkeeper Ding.

I saw that the shopkeeper Ding rolled his eyes and proposed: "Or, I'll give you 600 yuan, keep 100 yuan for me to operate, and barter the rest?"

"Barter?" Wang Chen's eyes lit up.

In fact, he didn't want all the gold, after all, a hundred taels of gold in the Northern Song Dynasty was almost 3.7 kilograms when converted into modern weight, and taking so much gold out for cash would definitely arouse suspicion.

It's not the same for something.

He can make it up as long as the circle passes.

"Yes, I have a few treasures here, you can take a look, if appropriate, you take them. Shopkeeper Ding pointed inside.

Wang Chen said: "Okay, I'll take a look, I said in advance, I'll pick the things myself." ”

"No problem. Shopkeeper Ding agreed.

……

The three of them returned to the pawnshop again.

Shopkeeper Ding took the two of them to turn left and right in front of him, came to an iron door, and took out the key to open the door.

Below is a long line of steps.

After entering, Shopkeeper Ding first lit the torch and then immediately closed the iron door.

He introduced: "Our owner dug a large cellar as a warehouse, and all the good things are in it. ”

Wang Chen nodded slightly and did not speak.

Wang Yuncang, who was following behind, was looking left and right, which seemed to be very novel.

Soon.

Come to the cellar.

There were a lot of wooden shelves with all kinds of things on them, everything from silk and satin to mink shawls, and even Wang Chen saw two long swords stuck in their scabbards.

Shopkeeper Ding put the torch on the hole in the wall, came back to his senses and found that Wang Chen was observing, and said in a deep voice: "Those are not valuable, I will take some valuable ones for you to see." With that, he walked straight to the wooden cabinet in front of him.

When I opened the wooden cabinet, I was illuminated by the light of the torches, and a burst of color came out.

Wang Chen leaned over and saw that it was a small half box of agate.

Shopkeeper Ding pointed to the agate and said: "I don't need to say much about how precious the agate is, right? If you like it, pick a few pieces, and I will convert them into gold for you." ”

The price of agate has collapsed in modern society, even Wang Chen, who doesn't understand the jewelry industry, has seen it on the news, so it is impossible for him to ask for agate.

"Don't. He shook his head.

Seeing that he didn't want agate, the shopkeeper Ding closed the wooden box, opened the cabinet next to him and carefully pulled out a small cloth bag, untied the rope, "Five catties of pepper, how about it?"

Wang Yuncang swallowed his saliva and said in a lost voice: "The price is comparable to the golden pepper?"

Shopkeeper Ding said, "That's right. ”

Wang Chen couldn't cry or laugh, there was still a pound of pepper in his mysterious space, and it looked like the real thing, so he vetoed it again.

Then the shopkeeper Ding showed him several things.

Including antiques from previous dynasties, calligraphy and paintings of celebrities, etc.

It's a pity that Wang Chen can't even look at it.

Seeing this, Shopkeeper Ding was really helpless, and walked back and forth in the cellar several times, then gritted his teeth and said: "Come on, I'll take some natural treasures for you to see." ”

Treasures?

Is it something as precious as ambergris?

Wang Chen suddenly became interested and followed behind the shopkeeper Ding.

Shopkeeper Ding came to the innermost iron cabinet, took out the key, opened it, carefully took out a brocade box from it, and opened it, "Taibai Mountain has two ginseng sticks for more than 50 years, you can see if you are satisfied." ”

Changbai Mountain ginseng has heard, what the hell is Taibai Mountain?

Wang Chen didn't understand, but he knew that ginseng was very precious, so he still took the brocade box and observed, the two white ginseng were lying on one side, and they were well preserved, and none of the ginseng on them were broken, but he didn't understand ginseng, so he looked up and blinked: "How do you know more than fifty years?"

Shopkeeper Ding said speechlessly: "Look at the round reed on the ginseng, the ginseng will form a round reed for at least fifty years, can I still lie to you?"

Wang Yuncang interjected: "I've heard people say that it's true. ”

So it turned out that Wang Chen understood, looking closely at the two ginsengs, there were really round reeds.

Could this be the legendary priceless wild ginseng?

He still doesn't understand, but his mind is active, his father has a serious disease, can he eat ginseng to make up for it?

Yes, ginseng can be wanted.

After thinking about it, he asked, "How much is the discount for two ginsengs?"

Shopkeeper Ding stretched out four fingers, and the lion opened his mouth and said, "Forty taels of gold." ”

Wang Chen almost spat him in the face, and pouted: "What about me as a fool? Where does ginseng come from to be so expensive?"

"Young Master Wang, hey!" The shopkeeper Ding was anxious, pointed to the ginseng and said: "Do you know where Taibai Mountain is? That is the territory of the Jurchen tribe, there are Liao people in the north, do you think this ginseng is so easy to obtain? Not to mention that it is not easy, ginseng with more than 50 years of ginseng age and such good quality, one is not worth 20 gold? "Well, in fact, it is really not worth it, he is fooling Wang Chen."

The term Jurchen actually appeared as early as the 7th century.

But his words probably made Wang Chen understand what the hell Taibai Mountain is, to be precise, Taibai Mountain is Changbai Mountain, and the name is different.

As for the ginseng, Wang Chen definitely wants it, but he feels a bit of a loss for forty taels of gold for two ginseng, he shook his head and said, "I still don't think it's worth it, why don't you add something more?"

Shopkeeper Ding insisted.

Wang Chen had no choice but to return the ginseng, and sighed: "If you don't want to forget it, I'll talk to his family about the glass tea set." "He really wanted to get away with it this time.

Shopkeeper Ding knew that two ginseng sticks were not worth forty taels of gold, and when he saw Wang Chen and said that he was leaving, he thought that he had seen through the actual value, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Slow down, I'll add something." ”

"What is it?" Wang Chen asked.

Wang Yuncang suddenly burst out, "I see that the jade pendant hanging around your neck is very good, young master, what do you think?"

Wang Chen, who had never thought of what was hanging on the neck of Shopkeeper Ding, looked over carefully, the light was a little dim, but he could make out that a white Bodhisattva jade pendant was faintly hanging on Shopkeeper Ding's neck.

Shopkeeper Ding almost sprayed, glared angrily at Wang Yuncang, gritted his teeth and said, "This is my personal thing, not a shop." He was a little excited, "Do you know that my piece is He Yupei? It is a mutton fat jade from Kunlun Mountain, do you know how much such a big piece is worth?"

The mutton fat jade of Kunlun Mountain is a good thing!

Wang Chen didn't say a word, and said, "You give me this piece of jade pendant and two branches of ginseng, which is worth forty taels of gold." ”

The shopkeeper Ding was full of black lines, waved his hand and said, "No, my personal belongings." ”

Wang Yuncang's old boy was very bad, and when he saw that Wang Chen liked it, he instigated: "It's okay with personal belongings, you give it to my young master, and then take a teacup from the glass tea set, isn't it better?"

As soon as the words came out, Shopkeeper Ding stopped talking, and an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, as if he was considering whether it was worth it.

Wang Chen saw that there was a play, and hit the railway while it was hot: "Those little guys outside didn't see me take anything out, you can write a glass tea set and three cups on the paperwork, you know this, I know, he knows, and there is no fourth person in the world who knows." ”

Shopkeeper Ding said pretendedly: "This ...... Isn't that for me to steal from myself? After saying this, he showed an expression of self-sacrifice, and added with righteousness, "But I like to collect the treasures of the world, for this glass teacup, I ...... I fought it!"

It's not the first time I've done something like this.

Wang Chen didn't bother to analyze how true and false Ding's words were, and said bluntly: "Okay, let's go up with something to write the dead paperwork, finish it early, I still have some other things to do." ”

Shopkeeper Ding couldn't wait to say: "Okay, okay, go up." ”

As soon as the three of them took a step, Shopkeeper Ding lowered his voice and said, "You really won't report me, right?"

Wang Chen couldn't help but laugh and said: "What's the benefit of betraying you? Don't worry, I ask for money, you also ask for money, and everyone will get rich together." ”

This old boy was pretending to be just now, and looked, it only took a few seconds to reveal his true face?
