Chapter 110: Pawnshop

If he faced a profiteer like the owner of the garment shop, Chen Yi would not mind, using the materialized silver, but in the face of this person who drove the carriage and earned some hard-earned money, he couldn't do so.

Looking at the flow of people around him, he couldn't help but sigh, no money is difficult for heroes, in the real world, there are at least billions of wealth in the bank cards in his storage space, but in this copy world, Mao is useless.

When you come to this dungeon world, it is impossible not to spend a penny, and when there is a lot of money to spend in the future, the materialized silver can only be used for a temporary emergency, and cannot be used continuously.

Chen Yi looked around, saw a pawnshop flag, and smiled bitterly, he has a lot of skills, but there are very few that can be exchanged for money immediately.

And his old business is Taobao to pick up leaks, but in ancient times, where to find the antique market, according to some historical materials he has seen, the antique market was formed spontaneously by the people at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China.

Before the Qing Dynasty, antiques were called antiques, and although there were many people who liked to collect antiques, most of them were private gatherings of friends, and there was no fixed place for trading and exchange.

Speaking of which, in ancient times, pawnshops were also half antique shops, because in ancient times, many people who faced difficulties would come to the pawnshop with family heirlooms or other valuable things in exchange for some money.

This is also a last resort for many people, because in ancient times, the only place to get emergency money quickly and easily was to go to the guò pawnshop.

As for having treasures at home, I want to contact some collectors. It's not just about relationships. And it also needs to go through a cumbersome qualification process. What's more, in ancient times, those who could afford to collect were basically from prominent families, and there was no intermediary introducer, so they ran away in a daze, and some of them swallowed things, and you couldn't find a place to reason.

Chen Yi thought for a moment. He decided to take something to the pawnshop for some money, and as for what to take, he looked through the storage space for a while, and finally decided to take one of his own calligraphy.

He wanted to see how much his calligraphy could be used in this pawnshop, and at the same time, he also used an appraisal technique on his calligraphy.

Now in the world of Lu Zigang's copy, the price standard has also changed from the real world to this world.

It's like a piece of jade from the Ming Dynasty. In modern times, it is worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, and it is in this Lu Zigang copy world. It may not be worth so much, but according to his previous continuous appraisal, it has also determined that the current value evaluation is still the same as the evaluation amount in the real world, but it has been changed from RMB to silver taels.

Chen Yi still took out Wang Xizhi's Xiaokai Huang Tingjing, in terms of his current Xiaokai level, he has already obtained Wang Xizhi's great sincerity, almost to the point of being fake, not to mention these calligraphers, even some calligraphers in the Song Dynasty, I am afraid they are slightly inferior.

In the real world, his meticulously created calligraphy has reached more than 100 million yuan, that is, a priceless treasure, and in this Lu Zigang world, it has become extremely valuable, that is, more than 10 million yuan.

Because of the real world, Chen Yi's calligraphy is not only of a very high level, but also a huge fame that is famous all over the world.

Seeing the appraisal of the appraisal system, Chen Yi smiled, and was not too surprised that his calligraphy could reach this level in the Ming Dynasty, because the reason why the collection in the real world could reach such a high price was because of the speculation of many collectors.

In the real society, it has almost reached the point of national collection, and in the Ming Dynasty, there are not many people who can afford to collect, not to mention that his calligraphy is only level, and no fame, can reach more than 10 million yuan, or his level surpasses this era.

The value is extremely high, in the real world it is more than 10 million yuan, and in the Ming Dynasty, with his knowledge of the history of the Ming Dynasty, the purchasing power of one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to between 600 and 700 yuan in the real world.

If this more than 10 million yuan is converted into silver in the Ming Dynasty according to 600, then the result is about 16,000 taels of silver, and when converted into gold, it is equal to 1,600 taels of gold.

This is equivalent to his calligraphy, which is worth at least more than 1,600 taels of gold, Chen Yi showed a smile on his face, 1,600 taels of gold, ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty, a few taels of silver can live for a year, this more than 1,000 taels of gold is simply at the level of a rich man.

However, this more than 1,000 taels of gold seems to be a lot, but not to mention the princes and nobles, even if it is a prefect, it is more than his money, there is a saying in ancient times, that is, three years of Qing prefect, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, three years of innocent prefect, can earn 100,000 taels of silver, not to mention a little greed.

According to his understanding, in the hands of a collector in the Ming Dynasty, there was the original work of the famous Tang Dynasty painter Yan Liben "Drunken Taoist Map", and another collector took a fancy to it and decided to buy it for a thousand taels of gold.

With the identity of such a painting master in the Tang Dynasty, the authentic works in the Ming Dynasty were only a thousand taels of gold, which shows how the ancient collection market was.

Chen Yi took out the calligraphy in a corner, and then slowly walked towards the pawnshop, not knowing how much the pawnshop could produce.

The style of this calligraphy is only written with the month and date, not the year, so it does not affect the sale in the Ming Dynasty at all, as for the mounting, it is also carried out by the master in accordance with the ancient mounting style.

Walking to the pawnshop, he looked up at the plaque, which said Xinglong Pawn, and the name was normal.

The threshold of the pawnshop is very high, and there is a large screen hanging inside the door, so that nothing inside the pawnshop can be seen from the outside.

This is also to give people a sense of mystery, so that others do not see the situation inside the pawnshop, and likewise, do not let acquaintances see the embarrassment of the pawnbroker who comes to the pawn.

At the door of the pawnshop, Chen Yi also saw a person walking around the door, seemingly hesitating to enter the pawnshop and pawn something.

Seeing that this person was dressed better than ordinary people, he shook his head and smiled, the pawnshop, most of the visitors, were some poor people, of course, it was not excluded that they were used for emergencies.

After seeing the mental activity, Chen Yi's eyes widened, and a sneer appeared on his face, it turned out that this person was a student waiting for the exam in the capital, and all the coils he took from home were eaten by him, and now he wants to use the family heirloom as some money.

Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, it is not a particularly good jade, at most it is worth more than ten taels of silver.

For this kind of person, Chen Yi is really too lazy to take care of it, and walked directly into the pawnshop, in some ancient historical materials, some scholars in the process of rushing to take the exam, eating flowers and wine guide zhì have no money, abound.

After passing through the screen, you will come to the inside of the shop, and you will be greeted by the high counter, which is also the biggest feature of the pawnshop, and the counter is much higher than the ordinary shop.

The reason why it is so high is that it can make people stand in front of the counter and not see the objects on the counter, so that the pawnbroker is in awe and does not dare to compete with the pawnshop.

The windows of the pawnshop are high and small, the light is dim, and on the black walls, there are some red notes pasted with the words "If you lose your ticket, you can't redeem it", "Insects and rats bite each according to the destiny of heaven", "Antique jade is full of anniversaries", "Sharpshooter costumes are all inappropriate".

Looking at this mysterious pawnshop, Chen Yi was quite interested, after all, in the real world, he had never been to a pawnshop, and the modern pawnshop had all become modern.

"This guest officer, may I ask if you are here to redeem or pawn." At this time, a middle-aged man sitting outside the counter saw Chen Yi come in and hurriedly greeted him.

Chen Yi smiled, he is very familiar with ancient history, and he also knows about pawnshops, pawnshops generally have two people, one is a standing cabinet, the other is a sitting cabinet, the standing cabinet is standing inside the counter, and the sitting cabinet is sitting outside, in order to prevent disputes, and when the price is not suitable, help stop the pawnbroker.

"Pawn something." Chen Yi shook the calligraphy scroll in his hand and said very simply.

The middle-aged man looked at the calligraphy scroll that Chen Yi was holding, and a smile appeared on his face, "Please wait a moment." ”

At this time, in front of the counter, there was a person standing anxiously waiting, and the person standing in the counter was carefully watching this person's things.

Chen Yi looked at this anxious person slightly, he looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing more ordinary clothes than the person outside, and there were a few patches on his clothes, he stepped back slightly, looked at what this person was going to be, and couldn't help but shake his head.

Generally speaking, large pawnshops will accept some calligraphy, painting, antiques, gold and silver jewelry and other valuables, while smaller pawnshops will only accept non-valuables such as clothes.

"Although your clothes are made of silk, they are very old, fifty cents." The man at the counter quickly took a look at the object and said.

"Shopkeeper, can you give more, this is my mother's clothes when she got married, I didn't wear it for long, my mother is seriously ill now, can't get out of bed, and needs medical treatment, and the gentleman of the medical hall, the outpatient fee is at least two taels of silver, please." The young man said with an eager look on his face as he arched his hand to the person standing in the cabinet inside.

"If you die, you will have a tael of silver, this is the highest price, are you alive or dead." The man at the counter said with a blank face.

"Shopkeeper, I really need money urgently, please, please." The young man, with pain on his face, knelt down directly in front of the counter.

At this time, the man sitting at the counter hurriedly stood up and helped the young man up, "Young man, this is indeed the highest price, your mother is seriously ill, you have this tael of silver, you can think of some other way, without this money, your mother can only wait for death."
