017: The breath of a local tyrant
The jasper building is not very large, but after entering, what catches your eye is a dazzling array of gold, silver and jade, which makes people dizzy, and feels like they have entered a treasure trove all of a sudden.
If you dare to open such a store, you must not only be rich, but also powerful, otherwise it will be stolen overnight.
The shopkeeper is an old man in his sixties, the kind that looks shrewd. As soon as he saw someone coming in, he immediately greeted him: "Alas, guest officer, it's really time for you to come, the small store just entered a batch of high-grade goods today, all here, you two can look at it casually?"
Huo Xiao looked at the shopkeeper and said with a smile: "Our luck has always been good, we must be able to pick the baby we like." ”
The shopkeeper laughed and said, "That's nature." ”
Subsequently, the shopkeeper followed behind Lu Ying, introducing them one by one, each with a nice name and a moving story. Never the same.
However, Lu Ying is not like other women, she does not apply powder, she does not attach decorations, she has always felt that those things are a burden. But she didn't urge Huo Xiao to leave, but chose very seriously. She understood that Huo Xiao's move had a purpose.
Then, Huo Xiao asked, "Do you have anything you like?"
Lu Ying shook her head. So, Huo Xiao looked at the boss with a straight face and said, "I said that you have such a big store, don't you have anything to watch?" What you have is money. ”
The shopkeeper said with an apologetic smile: "Our goods are here, if these two can't look at it, then the old decay is really helpless." "In fact, the highest amount of goods can reach 50,000 taels. Therefore, the helplessness of the shopkeeper is also normal.
Huo Xiaodao: "But I heard that there is a high-grade jasper in your store, which is very good, why haven't you seen it?
The shopkeeper said helplessly: "Oh, son, our goods are really here!
Huo Xiao said: "I don't know, but I have a picture!" Huo Xiao said and took out the picture he had drawn before. Lu Ying has never seen this picture, why is Huo Xiao looking for this thing?
The shopkeeper glanced at it, and his face was full of surprise, he looked at the picture, and then looked at Huo Xiaodao: "This is, the dragon is coiling around the phoenix." ”
Huo Xiao said: "It seems that this jade really came from your shop." ”
The shopkeeper looked at Huo Xiao with a serious face and said, "Don't hide it from the son." There is only one piece of this jade, and it has already been bought. ”
Huo Xiao pretended to be arrogant and said, "Who bought it?" I'll buy him back." ”
The shopkeeper said: "Guest officer, I'm sorry, this jade is privately ordered, and the buyer asks us to keep it secret." ”
Huo Xiao said: "I don't need to know the secret of jade, I just need to know who bought that jade, can I say this?"
The shopkeeper said: "I'm sorry guest officer, open the door to do business, it's about integrity." ”
Huo Xiao nodded and said, "I think what you said is very right. You see, how much is that pearl. Huo Xiao pointed to a finger-sized pearl on his left hand.
The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said: "Childe, you can really know the goods, this is a high-grade pearl in the South China Sea, one hundred and two." ”
Huo Xiao continued to ask, "How many are there in your store?"
The shopkeeper said: "This kind of pearl is a relatively rare variety, and there are only thirty of them left in the shop. ”
Huo Xiao said: "I gave out three hundred taels and took them all." ”
The shopkeeper was stunned, and there was anger on his face, and he said, "Guest officer, you, you deceive people too much!"
Huo Xiao shouted directly: "Five hundred taels and one!"
The shopkeeper suddenly couldn't stand still, and his body felt like he was going to fall backwards, as if he had suffered an internal injury. Then, he sighed and said, "Childe's trick really caught the old man off guard, I admit it." ”
After a while, Huo Xiao and Lu Ying came out of the store, Huo Xiao was smiling, but Lu Ying still felt cold. I only heard Lu Ying say: "There are so many beads, why do you take them back?"
Huo Xiaodao: "I heard that pearl powder is good for the skin. You won't need it, though. There is a slingshot seller in front, let's go buy one. ”
Lu Ying was puzzled: "Why do you buy a slingshot???
Huo Xiao said: "Hit the birds, !!"
Hearing this, the ice on Lu Ying's face disappeared, a smile bloomed, and she asked, "Can any bird be hit?"
Huo Xiao said: "Naturally, any bird can be hit!"
Hearing this, Lu Ying's smile became even brighter, and she looked like a happy child.
It's just that it's really appropriate to shoot birds with pearls worth a hundred taels? Obviously, they are not joking.
However, why did Huo Xiao suddenly go back and draw this jade pendant picture? This is not a question, maybe a clue!
This one is relatively small, and I drank too much today, and my state is not good. Everyone has to have fun during the New Year!
