Chapter 007: Selling Jade
Fang Hao looked at this masked little girly skin vigilantly, preventing her from stabbing herself in anger, the little girly skin glared at him angrily a few times, probably seeing that his companion was fighting with the tolerance and was about to be unable to support it, so he snorted, and passed by him with his sword to join the battle group.
Your sister, it was you who dragged Lao Tzu into the water unkindly, and Lao Tzu was unjust. Fang Hao muttered, taking the opportunity to smear oil on the soles of his feet.
Fang Hao, who came to the street today, was in a lively spirit, and he swaggered forward, because he not only hid a priceless jade pendant in his arms, but also did not take away the more than 20 taels of silver that the little girl put on the ground last night, which is also a lot of foreign wealth.
He knew very well that the guy in the jewelry shop was the most proficient in looking at people's clothes to identify the rich and the poor, and he had to be typed out before he entered the door with the appearance of a beggar in tattered clothes.
It's better to go to the early stall for a delicious meal first, and then go to the ready-to-wear store to buy an outfit.
"Boss, ten meat buns and a bowl of soup cakes."
"Go and go, stinky and want food, take this cooking cake and get out quickly, don't come to delay my business." The proprietress of the early shop had a hot personality, threw him a cooking cake, and drove him away with her big fan-like hands like chasing flies.
Fang Hao had money in his waist and was naturally bold, took out a piece of silver horn and slapped it on the table, and roared angrily: "Boss, come with ten meat buns and a bowl of soup cakes, do you hear?" ”
When the proprietress saw the shiny silver horn, her face changed so fast that she was almost better than the actor, and she said in a lengthened tone: "Okay, ten meat buns, a bowl of soup cakes, here." ”
Before the words fell, the steaming breakfast was served.
Alas, I haven't eaten meat buns for a long time, Fang Hao felt tears while eating, ten meat buns, ten, ten fists of that big meat bun, the feeling of a heavy stomach is really refreshing.
After eating breakfast, Fang Hao walked into a ready-to-wear shop, spent one or two or five dollars of silver, looked new from head to toe, wearing a white muslin with a black-edged collared gown, stepping on thin bottom Chen Qiao shoes, and wearing a scribe's square scarf on his head, Shi Shiran walked out of the shop.
Now look at it again, tsk, although he is a little thinner, but this outfit, coupled with his high-spirited temperament from later generations, is like a little young master from an ordinary rich family, who would recognize that this is the little beggar who was holding a broken bowl and begging for food everywhere yesterday?
Swaggering, Fang Hao walked to the door of "Jin Yuxuan", this store is the largest jewelry store in Tokyo City, the two guys who welcome customers at the door are obviously carefully trained, just like the clerks of those luxury stores in later generations, with a faint smile on their faces, neither enthusiastic nor indifferent, just very programmed to bow down slightly, stretch out their hands to push the door open for him.
Fang Hao was obviously accustomed to the welcoming process of luxury stores in later generations, nodded very gracefully, and stepped into the high threshold of Jin Yuxuan.
At this time, the Great Song Dynasty has experienced more than 30 years of Huizong's prosperity, the national strength is strong, although the people in many places are still in hunger and cold because of various natural disasters, but most of the people in Tokyo City at the feet of the Son of Heaven live a rich life, just from the decoration and furnishings of this Jin Yuxuan store, it is not inferior to those top jewelry stores in later generations.
It was not yet time to arrive, the store had obviously just opened, and there were only a few customers gathered around the counter in the huge store to choose jewelry, Fang Hao walked to the counter, and a very shrewd-looking guy greeted him with a smile on his face.
"What do you want to see, little guest officer? Our store has all kinds of gold, silver and jade, do you want to see the headdress or the ornament? Do you wear it yourself or buy it for your family? It's ......"
Fang Hao stretched out his hand to stop his chatter, and asked in a deep voice, "Man, do you have a master in your shop to identify jade?" ”
"Identifying jade?" The guy was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, the enthusiasm on his face obviously retreated by seven points, he looked at Fang Hao carefully, and said unhurriedly: "The guest officer has a jade weapon to sell, right?" ”
This guy is really shrewd, he knows that all the people who come to the store under the banner of appraisal actually want to sell their jewelry to the store, but he is the guy in charge of sales, and only when he sells goods can he get a commission, and the receipt is not under his control, so he naturally loses his previous enthusiasm.
"Let's appraise it first, if your store offers the right price, it is not impossible to sell it to you." Fang Hao remained silent.
The guy nodded: "Wait a minute, I'll call our three shopkeepers over." ”
Not long after he entered the back hall, a middle-aged man with a round head and a round face walked over quickly, and the other party smiled and said, "This little guest officer, I am the third shopkeeper in charge of jade appraisal in our store, is there anything I need to serve?" ”
Fang Hao took out the jade pendant from his arms and put it on the cabinet: "This jade pendant is the third shopkeeper to take a look." ”
Before he retracted his hand, the complexion of the third shopkeeper changed, obviously he was a person who knew the goods, and the luster of this superb emerald immediately attracted his attention, and his eyes widened and he looked at this jade pendant in surprise.
Fang Hao smiled, put his hands in his sleeves, and said leisurely: "Third shopkeeper, look at how much this jade pendant is worth?" ”
The third shopkeeper swallowed and spit, and his outstretched hand trembled a little, he has been immersed in the jade industry for more than 20 years, and the number of times he has seen such superb emeralds is still only a handful.
He picked up the jade pendant and rubbed it for a moment, then raised it up to reflect the sunlight outside the store, squinted his eyes and tasted it, and muttered in his mouth: "Good jade, good jade." ”
"This jade is good, I want it."
Before the three shopkeepers finished reading, a crisp woman's voice came from the side, it was a few guests who were choosing jewelry on the side just now, among which a green-clothed girl surrounded by them pointed to the jade in the hands of the three shopkeepers and said.
Fang Hao noticed these people at this time, the four of them were two men and two women, the man was tall and mighty, with yellow hair and curly sideburns, and a full beard, obviously not dressed as a Central Plains person.
The two women, one dressed in green and the other in blue, were masked in white gauze, and their black hair was braided into countless slender braids hanging down their shoulders, and their hair was inlaid with many golden ornaments, which tinkled with the swing of their hair.
As the green-clothed girl spoke, she walked towards Fang Hao, and a tall man beside her stepped forward a few steps forward and said recklessly: "Wu Na shopkeeper, my young lady said, this piece of jade, young lady wants it, bring it to us." ”
Seeing this, the third shopkeeper hurriedly smiled at the green-clothed girl: "This young lady, I'm sorry, this jade was taken by this little guest officer for identification, not a small shop." ”
When the tall man heard this, he said, "You kid, how much is the jade?" My lady asked for it. ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to take the jade pendant in the hands of the three shopkeepers, Fang Hao's eyes were quick, and he snatched the jade pendant from the hands of the three shopkeepers first, and looked at the tall man vigilantly.
The tall man stretched out his hand and grabbed the air, a layer of arrogance and anger suddenly appeared on his face, and he was about to roar at Fang Hao.
The girl in green said softly, "Qili slave, stand down." ”
The tall man hurriedly bowed sideways, pressed his right hand on his chest and respectfully said, "Yes, Miss." ”
The girl in green walked to Fang Hao's side, nodded slightly, and said, "This son, I like this piece of jade very much, you can make a price." ”
Although the voice was as graceful as a silver platter, and the words were very polite, there was an indescribable coercion in the sound, as if the gods on high did not have the slightest intention of discussing the casual orders of the humble mortals, but like the tone of the master to the servant.
