Chapter 5: Five Taels and Five Thousand Taels
"How to live and die?" Without waiting for Yu Rong to speak, Yang Dewen asked first.
"The life should be limited to ten days, when the price, the big stack is only about half of the collateral, more than ten days, it can not be redeemed, death is simple, after the money and goods are cleared, this thing has nothing to do with you." The old shopkeeper explained a little and said when.
"Then how much does this jade wall cost to live, and how much does it cost to die?" Yang Dewen asked.
"How about fifty taels of silver for life and one hundred taels of silver for death?" The old shopkeeper asked with a smile on his face.
"Inappropriate!" Yang Dewen snatched the piece of jade wall from the shopkeeper's hand and said.
The old shopkeeper didn't expect that the other party would suddenly snatch the jade wall back, and he was stunned for a while.
The second grandfather and Yu Rong were very surprised, one hundred taels of silver was a huge amount of money for them, and the richest staff might not be able to come up with a few hundred taels of silver.
Now it is a disaster year, and the price of rice is 20 times that of a good year, but one tael of silver can also buy ten stone of grain, 1,300 catties, and eat white rice and dry rice every day, which is enough for a family of five to eat for a year.
What is the concept of one hundred taels of silver, that is, the Great Qin Empire is a disaster year every year, and the grain that can be exchanged for one hundred taels of silver is enough for a family of five to eat white rice for a hundred years.
Yurong is even more incomprehensible, after the beginning of the year, Xianggong wanted her to take this piece of jade wall as an exchange for money, but Yurong did not agree at the beginning.
She also fantasized that she could meet her biological parents through this jade wall, and ask them face to face why she was born and abandoned him.
Xianggong said goodbye early the next morning, Yurong still regretted it at the time, Xianggong's mother, although she was not her mother, but she had the grace of nurturing, and she was closer than her mother.
Even if she was asked to marry her husband, she also asked for her consent, and then she decided. In order to cover up the truth that Xianggong ran away from home, she had to say to the outside world that Xianggong ran away from home because he didn't want to have sex with her, which affected his studies, and for this, she also carried a lot of infamy, and I don't know how many tears she shed.
But now, she took the initiative to take out this jade wall as an exchange for money, but Xianggong snatched it back, unwilling to live or die.
"Childe! What do you mean by that? The price is too low, and it can be negotiated! You go outside to inquire, in the entire Taocheng Town, the price we give here is the highest. The old shopkeeper said with a displeased face.
"Shopkeeper, this jade wall is my lady's dowry, so it must not be taken away, but I have an ancestral treasure that can be given to you, it depends on whether you know the goods." Yang Dewen said, and took out a ready, brand-new hundred yuan in his arms.
The shopkeeper took the 100 yuan yuan, looked at it carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, on a piece that was not the size of a palm, and it looked like paper and not paper, he could actually draw such a detailed picture.
He has never seen anything that looks like a word but does not look like a word, he only knows the three big characters of one hundred yuan written on it, and the first word on the top is a Chinese character, the third is a human character, and the sixth word is a line of words.
What kind of person drew this?,The hairstyle of the characters on it is still worn.,It seems that I've never seen it.,No.,This hairstyle is a little similar to the son in front of you.。
"How's that! If you don't give it to me, if you don't give it back, I'll go find the next one. Yang Dewen couldn't figure it out in his heart, this old guy didn't give it right, so he urged, maybe as soon as he urged, this old guy was excited, so he accepted it, of course, the premise was to give a good price.
"It's okay if you want to be a child, but you can only die." The old shopkeeper thought for a while and said.
"Okay, if you die, you will die, how much can you give?" Yang Dewen said very crisply.
"How much does the son plan to be, if the price is right, the old man will help you accept it, if the price is too high, then the old man can't help." The old shopkeeper had never seen such a thing, and he had never even heard of it, so how could he give a bid.
Yang Dewen can't decide how much money it will take to make this old shopkeeper accept. He touched the jade wall in his hand, looked at it with his eyes a few times, and felt that the jade wall in his hand was warm and soft, as if he could calm his mood, it was really a good piece of jade.
For such a good piece of jade, the other party is only willing to pay 100 taels of silver, and he can only buy about 30 catties of rice in the 21st century for a 100 yuan yuan. It's not worth the thirty pennies here.
But my money, when I get here, it's at the level of cultural relics, so how about doubling it by a hundred times, right? No matter what, if you want him to pay five taels of silver, if it's high, drop it a little, what? You want to give a tael of silver, right?
Thinking of this, Yang Dewen raised his slap and shook it and said, "This number." ”
"That's a bit too expensive, isn't it? The old man will give you this number at most. The old shopkeeper stretched out three fingers and said with an embarrassed face. The reason for asking for a price and paying back the money on the spot is understood by those who do business.
Ma's, it's really dark enough, a bargain actually cut off almost half, the businessman's counteroffer should have a bottom line, Lao Tzu is a college student in the 21st century, although he hasn't done business yet, but he hasn't eaten pork, haven't you seen a pig run? If you want to lie to me, you don't even have a door.
"At least that." Yang Dewen stretched out his hand again, but he just folded his thumb and only stretched out four fingers.
"I sincerely want to buy, you sincerely want to sell, why don't we two each give a step, three thousand five hundred taels of silver, pay the money with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other." The old shopkeeper said decisively.
Yang Dewen was stunned, Yu Rong was stunned, the second grandfather didn't believe his ears, the little girl was the most normal person, how much silver was just a number to her.
Nima, Lao Tzu asked you for four taels of silver, and you directly said to give three thousand five hundred taels, did you bargain like this? Is there anyone as scary as you? Otherwise, you just change it to gold and try it, I'm afraid that you will scare my lady stupidly, and you can't afford to pay for it.
"Good! Count you ruthless, the deal, isn't it just a loss of 500 taels of silver? This son doesn't care. Yang Dewen said arrogantly.
"Okay, if you want to sell anything good in the future, the old man will definitely give you a satisfactory price, whether you want cash or silver tickets." The business was done, and the old shopkeeper said happily.
Yang Dewen didn't dare to ask for too much silver, as long as a hundred taels of silver, the others gave way to the silver tickets, and the pawnshops of this era basically came with the opening of a rich bank.
The four people who walked on the street again were as if they had a dream, and when they came, they were still the same people, and even eating was a problem, but in the blink of an eye, they had three thousand five hundred taels of silver, and they became rich overnight, and that was just that.
"Is that really your family's ancestral?" The second grandfather asked Yang Dewen puzzled.
"No, I picked it up when I was on a study tour."
"Why are you eating that thing is so valuable, how much did you want to come just now, five thousand taels, this time let the other party cut off 1,500 taels, it's really too much, if you insist on it a little longer, 4,000 taels of silver, the other party should also give it, right?"
"Second grandfather, in fact, I offered five taels of silver at the beginning, and if the other party really didn't want to give it, I would sell it to him for one tael of silver."
………………………………
In addition to the silence, the second grandfather suddenly didn't know what to say, if the shopkeeper knew, he misunderstood Yang Dewen's offer, I don't know if he would be so angry that he vomited blood and died! The second grandfather thought to himself.
