Chapter 136: Throwing a Lot of Money
The cold weather can't stop people's enthusiasm for buying New Year's goods at all, and it seems that the air is filled with a strong New Year's smell. Feng Jian and the three of them walked through the crowd all the way and gradually became addicted to it.
Feng Jian looked at the shops around him, and suddenly saw a jewelry store called "Fengxian Pavilion" in front of him, which was a two-story building from the outside.
The jewelry store is another purpose of Feng Jian's trip, he wants to buy a few pieces of jewelry Chen Lilan, Su Su, and Xiao Hairpin as New Year's gifts.
Feng Jian didn't know how to appreciate jewelry, but he knew that in such a large-scale and high-grade jewelry store, the store would not ruin the long-term reputation of his store for a small profit, so he rarely cheated customers.
In terms of size, this jewelry store is almost the largest near this cross street, and there must be some jewelry with high value.
Feng Jian, Fan Li, and Bao Feng walked into this "Fengxian Pavilion", and the three of them were stunned when they entered the store, and the entire storefront lobby on the first floor was completely furnished by the teahouse.
I saw that the tables of the Eight Immortals were scattered all over the lobby, and there was a pot of charcoal fire every two tabletops, and as soon as I entered the store, I was greeted with a burst of warmth.
There were already a few guests sitting at several tables in the middle of the lobby, and there was a cup of tea and a few melon seeds in front of each table.
At the table, there is a guy standing respectfully, and the guests say what kind of jewelry they want to buy, how much it costs, and then the guy goes to the cabinet to get the corresponding jewelry for the guests, and the guests can choose.
Feng Jian was amazed, this ancient man really treated guests as parents when they did business! Gee. This service attitude will definitely be a star enterprise in future generations.
I saw Feng Jian and the three of them enter the door. Immediately, a man greeted him and said to the three of them one by one, "Welcome the three masters to the shop." Please sit down and serve tea first, what style and price jewelry the guests need just tell the villain, and the villain will give you a detailed introduction, which will satisfy the three guests. ”
Feng Jian followed his men to a vacant place and sat down, and immediately a man offered tea and snacks to the three of them. The guy who received Feng Jian stood aside and waited for the three members of the Feng family to drink tea, then stepped forward and asked, "I don't know what the three masters have, just tell the villain." ”
Feng Jian said with a smile: "I want to buy a few pieces of jewelry such as jade bracelets and rings, and bring me the best goods in your store for me to choose!" ”
Feng Jian had a lively nouveau riche tone, which caused several guests at the table next to him to stare at Feng Jian. Fan Li and Bao Feng found that someone dared to glare at the commander, and immediately glared back, and the image of the two of them angrily stared at King Kong so much that it startled the guests at the table next to them.
The guys who received the guests all had a pair of sharp eyes, and through observing the words and expressions, they found that Feng Jian was the main guest, and the other two were just guards. Hearing that Feng Jian said that he wanted to buy a type of jewelry in the store, he was immediately overjoyed.
The guy hurriedly bowed deeply to Feng Jian and said, "It turns out that this master needs valuable jewelry, please go up to the second floor and let the master choose it." ”
Feng Jian sighed secretly, as soon as he heard that he was going to buy valuable jewelry, in a blink of an eye, he changed his title from uncle to master. That's getting fast enough!
After the guy finished speaking, he bowed down and made a gesture of invitation, and when Feng Jian and the three of them stood up, they turned sideways in front to lead the way, bypassed the lobby on the first floor, and went up to the second floor towards the wooden staircase standing in the corner.
Feng Jian and the three of them walked up to the second floor of Fengxian Pavilion. Seeing the furnishings on the second floor is even more unique. Feng Jian first felt that this place was not like a trading shop, but like a palace where rich and noble families showed their wealth to the outside world.
The entire second floor is magnificently furnished, with windows on all four sides inlaid with transparent crystals. The space in the entire floor is bright and transparent, and there are more than a dozen glass counters fixed on the floor in the building. Through the glazed surface, you can see that under each counter, there are different styles of jade bracelets, rings and other valuable jewelry.
There were only a few guests in the building, and the guy who led Feng Jian and the three of them up to the second floor was very enthusiastic. Stop at every counter and introduce to Feng Jian what kind of jewelry is in the counter, what its texture is, what the price is, and so on. Feng Jian listened very carefully, thinking about what kind of jewelry is more suitable for Chen Lilan, what kind of jewelry is suitable for Su Su, and of course, it is indispensable to choose a few pieces of jewelry to give to Xiao Hairpin.
For Chen Lilan, a woman with a beautiful and cold appearance, Feng Jian was respectful at first, and slowly contacted, Chen Lilan continued to show her intelligent and empathetic side.
The most important thing is that this smart woman is good at expressing her heart in different ways, Feng Jian has experienced several times that this woman has a kind of attachment to herself, but due to the huge identity difference between the two sides, she can only bury this attachment in her heart.
Knowing this woman's intentions, Feng Jian felt a little incredible, his identity was a thief, and he was doing things to rob homes and houses, and where did he attract this smart daughter of Zhizhou.
Then he was a little complacent, Chen Lilan is the daughter of the Zhizhou family, his father Chen is a well-deserved emperor on the ground of Pingdu, and he is confused and has something to do with the daughter of the Zhizhou family, if he can only achieve good things, it will undoubtedly be of great benefit to himself and all the villagers in Huluyan.
For the huge identity difference between himself and Chen Lilan, Feng Jian felt that this would not be an obstacle, once he accepted the imperial court's recruitment, according to Chen Suowen's statement, the imperial court would definitely have a reward, plus Chen Suowen's strong recommendation, it is not a problem to be a petty official, with a suitable identity, and then interacting with Chen Lilan will not humiliate her!
In front of the next glass counter, the guy who had been diligently introducing various jewelry to Feng Jian began to waver, and he concentrated on introducing and recommending the valuable jewelry in the store one by one, but the guest who said that he wanted to buy expensive jewelry did not say too much, would these people be ridiculing!
A few people happened to walk to a counter, and the guy pointed to a pair of emerald green bracelets placed under the glass counter and said: "This lord, please see, this pair of bracelets is made of jade jade transported from southern Yunnan, this pair of jade bracelets in the sunlight observation, you will find that the bracelet in the emerald green seems to have been constantly flowing, this jade is commonly known as emerald, so a pair of identical jade bracelets are relatively rare, so this pair of jade bracelets is regarded as a more valuable thing in Fengxian Pavilion." ”
Feng Jian intuitively felt that this pair of jade bracelets was the most suitable for Su Su's bright and cheerful temperament, and asked directly: "What is the value of this pair of jade bracelets?" ”
Seeing that Feng Jian finally opened his mouth to inquire about the price, the guy was overjoyed and hurriedly said: "Don't be busy talking about the price, the master wants to check the quality of this pair of jade bracelets first?" ”
Seeing Feng Jian nodding, he said to the guy standing on the side of the counter: "Please take out this pair of jade bracelets for the guests to enjoy and inspect!" ”
Without saying a word, the guy standing on the side of the counter immediately opened the counter and carefully presented a pair of emerald green jade bracelets in front of Feng Jian.
This guy was selling the side: "This pair of bracelets is emerald green and bright, and the texture is almost identical, so our Fengxian Pavilion is the only pair of emerald bracelets, or is this old man really discerning!" Please take a closer look! ”
I have to say that the merchants who operate the Fengxian Pavilion have racked their brains in terms of consideration for the guests, and the second floor of the Fengxian Pavilion has very good lighting, and the transparent crystal windows transmit the light from the outside directly to the inside of the hall. Looking at this pair of jade bracelets through the light, I saw that the emerald green and bright dripping inside the bracelet seemed to flow.
Feng Jian took the brocade box handed over by the waiter, and looked at the pair of jade bracelets by the light, only to see that the emerald green in the bracelet seemed to flow, and this emerald was full of spirituality, intoxicating and fascinating!
Feng Jian imagined that when the pair of emerald bracelets were worn on Su Su's wrists, he felt that this emerald green seemed to exist specifically for this elf-like woman.
When this flowing emerald green reflected Su Su's bright eyes, flashing a girl's unique surprise, Feng Jian felt that no matter how valuable the pair of emerald bracelets was, they had to buy it.
In addition to carrying some scattered silver and some gold leaves, Feng Jian also carried silver tickets at most. The gold leaf was seized from the historian at that time, and the gold and silver in the Huluyan cottage were really useless, but in this vast world of flowers, it was difficult to move an inch without gold and silver.
The baggage in Fan Li's hand is filled with gold leaves and some scattered silver taels, the gold leaves are estimated to be more than two hundred taels, the exchange ratio of gold and silver in the Ming Dynasty is one tael of gold for ten taels of silver, and the gold leaves in Feng Jian's baggage are worth about two thousand taels of silver.
Feng Jian didn't ask about the value of the emerald bracelet, and directly looked at his guy expectantly on the side and said: "I want this emerald bracelet, I don't know where to trade!" ”
The guy on the side was overjoyed when he heard this, the value of this pair of jade bracelets was not low, this old man didn't blink his eyes, and he decided to buy this pair of jade bracelets without asking about the price.
It seems that this old man doesn't make a move, as soon as he makes a move, he is very generous, he was still thinking about how to bargain with the other party, but now it seems that there is no need for this, it seems that even if he shouts a high price casually, this lord will accept it without hesitation, it is really rich!
The guy waiting for the waiter locked the emerald bracelet back into the glass counter, and the guy in charge of the introduction said: "Please follow the villain to the account room to settle the settlement, and then take away the jewelry with the receipt of the account room." ”
Feng Jian said directly: "Lead the way in front of the head!" Then he gave Fan Li and Bao Feng a look, and motioned for the two to follow him to the account office of this jewelry store to settle the bill.
The rejoicing man led the way, and soon came to a room sealed on three sides, with only a corner door on the front.
The man reported the name of the item to the checkroom sitting behind the counter, and after the items were stored at the counter, the bookkeeper seemed to know the price of various jewelry.
Seeing that the guy didn't say a single price after the two sides bargained, he went directly to write the price marked on the emerald bracelet into the receipt, then stamped the seal of the shopkeeper, and printed his own stamp on the receipt.
Chao Feng Jian said: "The emerald bracelet selected by this guest is worth more than 1,280 taels of silver, please ask the guest whether to pay in cash or with a silver ticket." ”
Feng Jian said: "I don't know if it is feasible to pay the bill with gold leaves?" (To be continued......)
