Chapter 48: Bargaining (I)
The two pulled the wooden cart and slowly passed through the city gate under the watchful eyes of the guards. After entering the city www.biquge.info it was a different scene, with crowds surging, so lively. At the end of each month, it is the day of the market, farmers and merchants from all over the world come like a tide, gather in Yuecheng, look for a crowded place, set up stalls, sell goods loudly, everyone's face is filled with relaxed joy, from this aspect, Yuecheng, is indeed a veritable town.
For this reason, the city is filled with a strong commercial atmosphere, and it is crowded with people, except for contraband such as gunpowder, it can be said that everything in the world is here.
Zhao Junren quickly immersed himself in this atmosphere, dragging the wooden cart and wandering around, as if looking for something. Looking at the excitement on his face, Jiang Yun shook his head helplessly, fortunately, his thin arms and legs didn't help much, and the whole car was almost on Zhao Junren's shoulders. In view of this, Jiang Yun simply unloaded the tow belt, walked around to the front of the wooden cart, walked with his head held high, and kept shouting: "Come on, let go, the cart will go first, and you won't pay if you knock it down." ”
The two of them shook the scene of a cup of tea, Zhao Junren's eyes suddenly lit up, he took two steps to the right, and parked the wooden cart firmly in front of a small stall.
"Auntie, how do you sell this hairpin?"
The middle-aged woman who was really chatting with people at the back of the stall, saw the guests come to the door, and immediately greeted her with a smile, and when she saw the objects in Li Junren's hands, she couldn't help but smile, and her tone became cold, and she said lightly: "One or two." ”
It was a peach wood hairpin, dark red in color, simple in style, but extremely exquisite, thinking about Xiao Ya's elegant temperament, and her satin-like hair should be a perfect match, Li Junren nodded with satisfaction, but this price...
"Auntie, I'm afraid the cost of this peach hairpin is only a few pennies, and one or two silvers is too much, do you think you can reduce it?"
The woman shook her head slightly with a smile and said: "Young man, the peach wood is indeed not worth much, but this handiwork is not blind, not that I boast, in this Yuecheng, the peach wood hairpin can be made so exquisitely, except for me, there is no second one, we sell a craft." Look, you should give it to your sweetheart, right? Auntie, I will say more, don't be unhappy, you can't be too stingy with your favorite girl, although the hairpin is small, but it is a heart, not to pay attention to it. If you let the girl know that you are bargaining with me here for this little money, hehe... “
The words of the needle hidden in the mianli suddenly stabbed Li Junren in the face, and he couldn't buy it, and he couldn't leave, so he froze in place in embarrassment.
Jiang Yun had been standing next to him without squeaking, but at this moment, he had a smiling face, and replied in a loud voice: "This eldest sister is right, you really can't give the girl's things casually, Brother Zhao, you are not proper in this matter." ”
Big... Sister? Li Junren looked at Jiang Yun in surprise, then at the woman, and asked clearly in his eyes, "What do you call the exit?" ”
How did he know that the little fresh meat in front of him, in terms of psychological age, was already a thirty-year-old Ou Jisan, and what was strange about calling a woman who was more than ten years older? He was afraid that he didn't know that although Jiang Yun kept calling him Brother Zhao, in this mentality, he was also a little fart kid who didn't have any hair.
It's a bastard to be cheap and not to take advantage, this is Jiang Yun's philosophy of life, but just such a person would be restless in order to eat a few meals of Zhao Junren, I am afraid that this kind of psychological age gap makes him feel that he has the illusion of rubbing oil for children to press the New Year's money.
When the woman heard this, she didn't feel anything wrong at all, but her whole body was comfortable, and she was indescribably happy, and said with a smile: "When I see that the eldest brother is a reasonable person, he must already have a partner, right?" ”
Big... Brothers? Zhao Junren couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Well, I already have a family below, and my eldest sister has good eyesight!"
"Look, I'm right." The woman's smile widened.
Zhao Junren looked at the two of them in a daze, as if he had the intention of seeing each other late, and couldn't understand why this woman was so enthusiastic about Jiang Yun, but her eyes were not eyes and her nose was not her nose, I am your customer, okay?
"Sister, do you have any high-end hairpins? I also want to buy one and give it to my wife so that I can surprise her. Jiang Yun asked sweetly.
"Ouch, brother, you are really a caring person, your lady is a blessed person. You wait, sister will find it for you. As he spoke, he lowered his body and searched the box behind the stall. Completely ignoring the young man in plain clothes in front of him, whether he had the money to buy her high-end goods.
In the blink of an eye, the word "big" is gone, sister... Younger brother, Zhao Junren was stunned and was petrified, but saw Jiang Yun quietly pull his sleeve. "Brother Zhao did you bring any money with you this trip?"
"This cart of fish should be able to be exchanged for five taels, so this time I took ninety-five taels out, and I was going to exchange it for a special big ingot of one hundred taels to the Lu family for easy storage."
"That's fine, give it to me first."
Zhao Junren did not doubt him, took out a small package from the wooden cart, and handed it to Jiang Yun, but saw him casually holding it into his arms and quietly looking at the woman who was rummaging through the cabinets on the side.
"Found it!" The woman looked happy, took out a small hairpin from the box, and smiled proudly: "Brother, look at this." ”
Looking at the hairpin in the woman's hand, Jiang Yun and Zhao Junren were dumbfounded.
It was a small and delicate hairpin, which exuded a natural, pure silver-white luster in the sunlight, which was more shiny and dazzling than ordinary silver. At the top of the hairpin, a bird was cast, standing quietly and lifelike.
"It's... Jiang Yun was shocked, he thought that the "high-end goods" in the women's mouths were estimated to be not high-end, such a small stall, he would take out a silver hairpin to death, but who would have thought that this little hairpin was far more high-end than he imagined, this luster, at first glance, is not ordinary!
"Haven't you seen it?" The woman smiled and said, "This is the finest silk silver, which my husband got by chance, and I made it into a hairpin, which is also intended to be used by my daughter in the future wedding, and this object is enough to be passed down from generation to generation as a family heirloom." ”
"Sister, can I take a closer look?"
"Yes, take it." The woman did not hesitate to hand the hairpin to Jiang Yun, this is Yuecheng, no matter how small the crime is, as long as the crime is committed in the city, it is a capital crime, she is naturally not afraid that Jiang Yun will take it and run away.
Jiang Yun handed the package back to Zhao Junren in his hand, took the hairpin, looked at it carefully, and gently rubbed the surface of the hairpin with his fingers, and suddenly knew in his heart.
This is the legendary "silk silver", if he sees it well, it should be similar to the "platinum" of that world, a precious metal that is more than thirty times rarer than gold, and a top-level jewelry material.
Jiang Yun looked at it with his fingers without a trace and pinched it hard, but the tail of the bird was not as hard as platinum, but like high-purity gold, revealing a soft and tough. And in terms of the color of the hairpin, the purity of this silk silver is not low, in this era when there is no technology to extract the purity of silk silver, high-purity silk silver is definitely a god that can not be found. The value of this little hairpin is beyond doubt.
Jiang Yun handed the little hairpin back to the woman, remained silent, and asked innocently: "What a beautiful hairpin, I don't know how much silver my sister plans to sell?" ”
"Five hundred taels!" The woman stretched out her palm and said with a smile. "If my brother sincerely wants it, my sister will be cheaper with you and take four hundred taels."
Five hundred taels, not to mention that it is not expensive, it is simply the price of cabbage! This woman doesn't seem to know the value of this little hairpin, if she lets Ji Luo see it, even if it is 10,000 taels, she will probably buy it immediately. Jiang Yun has been in this world for a long time, and he has a general understanding of silk silver. At least for now, there is no silver vein at all, and there is no possibility of producing a large number of them, and in terms of value, I am afraid that it is a hundred times more precious than the pink diamonds of later generations.
"Sister, you won't be on the road here, how ugly it is." Jiang Yun's mind turned sharply and said casually.
"Okay, then sister take another step, three hundred and eighty taels, this is auspicious, right?" The woman looked at Jiang Yun with a funny expression.
"Geely is auspicious, but it's not good." Jiang Yun looked sad and said helplessly: "In my hometown, Sanba is a curse. ”
"Ahh The woman was stunned for a moment, although she didn't understand the origin of Sanba, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem to be very good, and she muttered: "Three hundred and fifty taels, this sounds good, right?" ”
"It's good, but it's unlucky." Jiang Yun smiled bitterly: "Sister, have you forgotten?" March 5 is the day when the ghost gate rushes to the gate. ”
“。。。” The smile on the woman's face stiffened. "Three hundred and twenty taels?"
"It's unlucky, three long and two short."
"Three hundred taels is always enough, right?" The woman smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, don't embarrass your sister anymore. ”
"How can I be?" Jiang Yun said with a shy face: "Two hundred and eighty taels is feasible?" Twenty-eight twenty-eight, both of us have to send it, what a good number. ”
"Uh... The woman frowned and thought about it for a long time, then she made up her mind, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! Sister is according to you, twenty-eight is twenty-eight, do you want to go home first to get the silver now? ”
"Silver, don't worry... Jiang Yun looked sincere and said with a smile: "My brother has another question. ”
The woman looked at Jiang Yun's smile, and for some reason, she couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine, and cold sweat gradually broke out...
