Chapter III. The sword asked Beiyan 162.Silver for bamboo tubes

Urge was really by him! In fact, I didn't plan to buy anything here, but I just happened to see a two-horned silver tiara with good material decoration, so I wanted to buy it as a gift for my little grandmother; First, it was to praise Miao Wuzhai's own business, and it was also used as a thank you gift for the little aunt to help treat Shen Gui.

But this young man's series of behaviors really hooked up the rebellious psychology that Urge had been sleeping for many years! However, now that she has passed the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, she is no longer the impulsive and irritable little girl she was back then, even if the anger has reached her throat, she still explains to the young Miao Wu young man with kind words:

"Young man, don't worry, between buying and selling, we are talking about business; You see I'm such an old person, who else can I rob? You just made a bid, didn't the eldest lady put the silver there for you? If there is anything to talk about, you see my age, when your grandmother is rich, you shouldn't use a cigarette bag and pot to burn me anyway! ”

It was early afternoon, and there were no owners in the bazaar, and the stall owners were all dozing off in front of their stalls; But now when they heard the quarrel at the stall next to them, everyone immediately cheered up, regardless of whether it was a Central Plains tourist merchant or a Miao Wu person, they all crowded over to see the excitement!

"Oh? So you robbed me of my things, but it became mine, didn't you? It just so happens that the big guys are here, and the two of us will be judged! Just now, this old lady asked me how this tiara was sold, and I told her it was one, right? ”

Urge nodded.

"Then she threw down such a thing......" said the young man, holding up the silver ingot, which was twenty taels in full, and showing it around...... "and then he will take my crown!" Big guy, let's talk about it, is this considered a robbery? How much silver do I have for this two-horned crown alone? She threw down the twenty taels, and I couldn't even get back half of the capital! ”

Before Urge could speak, the people around him began to talk about it, like a toad arguing pit, and no one could hear what anyone said; After some noise, an old Miao Wu man wearing a coarse cloth coat and a blue scarf wrapped around his head stood up. He first raised his hand and waved it half a circle around, and the surroundings immediately became silent, and they all stared at his wrinkled old face:

"We can't solve the problem with such a quarrel! It's still an old man, I rely on the old man to sell the old, and come out to say a fair word. I said, old girl, look at your dress, it should be the first time to come back to our Miaoyi Village, right? Learned people have said that it is called ...... By the way, don't blame those who don't know! So what about the two of you, both yours and his! But what this young man just said is really reasonable! You come to check this tiara, it weighs eight pounds! If you look at the quality of this tiara, it's the finest silver! Coupled with the handiwork of the craftsmen in the village, as well as the kung fu money that this young man put on, the land rent money paid by the stall, and such a good two-horned silver crown, if you give twenty taels, it is indeed not enough capital, so don't blame this young man for not speaking well, such a big deficit is eaten, he has to pay out of his own pocket to make up for the public account! ”

The old man's deep voice and soft tone also calmed Urge's mood. She thought about it, if she said so, it really made sense that the young man was in a hurry! Although Miao Wuzhai is rich in silver jewelry, silver is a real hard currency! The weight of more than eight catties alone is already the cost of nearly 100 taels of silver; Coupled with the craftsman's salary, the young man's labor, etc., etc., he took out a mere twenty taels of silver, and it was indeed a loss to his grandmother's house......

Thinking of this, Urge also blushed, and nodded towards the old man who presided over justice:

"Brother, you're right, I blame me for not asking clearly. In this way, if you disturb this young man's business, I can't stomp my feet away; It's better for your old man to give a fixed price, if I think it's appropriate, how much do we lack to make up, and I won't bargain anymore! The right is to mix up this young man's business, and my old woman will pay him a loss! ”

As soon as the people around heard that this matter had eased up, they immediately shouted hello to the fair old man, and then chatted again in groups; And the young man also felt a little rude, and said to the old man embarrassedly:

"Since you have taken this over, uncle, then I can't say anything. Just like she said, your old man will give a fixed price, even if you still offer a price of twenty taels......"

"What did you say, baby? The uncle came out to uphold justice, and the two families lost one, what kind of justice is it called! That's it, old girl, this baby just told you to ask for one, and this price is indeed what he shouted, and I can't count it! Baby, what about you, just because of a small misunderstanding, what do you look like? How old are the old girls, it's okay for you to disrespect your elders? It's spread out, what do people think of our Miao Wuzhai? So you have to be punished, this business can make you get back your capital, and she can be regarded as taking care of you as a junior! Look at the color of this tiara...... Old girl, you can give half of it! Baby! We have to talk about it in advance! At this price, only old girls are not allowed to buy, but you are not allowed not to sell! ”

After saying that, the old man nodded to Urge, and walked back to his stall selling herbs in a trembling manner, and set up a bamboo tube with a 'gurgling' and a few puffs of hookah......

This fair remark, a reasonable disposition, every sentence is polite and courteous, and the people who listened to Urge were warm in their hearts, and secretly sighed that this Miao Wu clan was only a young descendant after all; This old man ......

Thinking of this, Urge carefully looked back at the old man's words, and suddenly felt that something was wrong!

That young man thought that his price was too low, so he caused such a mess; Why did this old man come out to administer justice, but stepped on the price lower than twenty taels? Oh yes! Maybe when people say a price of one and a half, they don't mean silver, but gold! In this way, the price is about the same! Half a half, that is, ten taels of gold, about more than a hundred silver, is almost enough to cover the cost of this crown training worker...... But I had no choice but to have only silver tickets and silver on my body, and I didn't have any gold!

So, embarrassed, Urge put the tiara back on the stall and said to the young man:

"I'm sorry, young man, the money on my aunt is still a little out of hand! I'll give you the crown here, and I'll come back to you to buy it when I've gone out and got enough money." ”

Of course, the stall owner doesn't care, this kind of loss-making price, he doesn't want to sell it, how can he bear the prestige of the old man in Miaoyi Village and Miaowu Village is extremely high, and he agreed to this business as a last resort. Now if you want to go, you can go, anyway, the crown is still with me! If you turn around and leave, I'll just keep it and sell it to someone else, and I'll make a few more!

Urge, who was going to exchange the silver, walked to the gold and silver jewelry building at the entrance of the village, took out a 500 taels of Huinan ticket from his pocket, gently put it on the counter, and pushed it to the shopkeeper behind the cabinet:

"Trouble me to replace it with half and a half ......"

Urge also thought that this measure word represented a big gold ingot of twenty taels in Miaoyi Village! This kind of thing is not uncommon in the important trading towns where merchants gather, taking Chang'an City as an example, of course, silver tickets can be used for transactions between the Northern Yan people, but when it comes to foreign merchants, if they do not adopt the method of bartering, they can only be delivered with gold.

At this time, she was in a good mood, and she still had the intention of continuing to go shopping and shopping, so she wanted the shopkeeper to help him exchange the five hundred taels of silver tickets for ten taels of small gold dollars. And judging by the attitude of the old and the young just now, it may be that silver is too common in this place, and everyone still prefers to collect gold when trading......

After the shopkeeper had checked the silver ticket in front of the light for a long time, he left a sentence of 'wait a moment' and turned around and left the front store. It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to gently push it in front of Urgé with a small wooden box of exquisite workmanship.

Urge had served in Southern Condi, and a large amount of gold and silver flowed through her fingers, so how could he care about the meagre five hundred taels of silver? Besides, this gold and silver building is still a businessman, so in order to cheat himself of five hundred taels of silver, he can't give up this three-story shop, right?

So Urge didn't even look at it, and returned to the stall with the wooden box in his hand. She first took the two-horned tiara again and re-examined it, in case the young man who didn't look very honest secretly changed the bag; After confirming that it was correct, with a sense of revenge, he opened the wooden box in reverse and pushed it towards the young man:

"Come on, take as much as you want!"

The young man knew that this business was not profitable, so he took out a small bamboo tube from the wooden box with a frown, and then pointed to the crown on the stall:

"Take it, it's yours!"

Urge picked up the crown and prepared to leave, but suddenly, as if remembering something, he quickly opened the small wooden box with exquisite workmanship......

As if insulted, the young man sneered angrily:

"While the big guys are here, your old man can count them well! I'll just take half of it! ”

Urge didn't bother to listen to his nonsense, but stared directly at the small open wooden box in front of him......

What gold and silver ingots! The five hundred taels of silver tickets I just got in exchange for two bamboo tubes, one long and one short! If you add the section taken away by the stall owner, it is two long and one short......

Silver tickets for bamboo tubes, bamboo tubes can still be spent, what kind of rules is this?

Before Urge could figure out why, the young man muttered to the old man next to him:

"Hey...... I waited for a whole day, but I opened such a piece, and I haven't seen any benefit! Forget it, this half will not be on the public account, and the right should be my dividend! Uncle, borrow a lamp for ......"
