Chapter 16: The First Pot of Money

Xiao Yu calmed down, coughed dryly twice, and said, "With Brother Tai's eyes, how much is this thing worth?" ”

The boy put the water bottle under his armpit, stretched out three fingers, and said, "Thirty taels of silver, is it okay?"

Xiao Yu was flustered in his heart, he was familiar with history, and just ten taels of silver was a year's expenses for a family in this era. If it is converted into a year's expenses in his own time, it will be 40,000 or 50,000 yuan! Thinking of this, I couldn't help but panic for a while, but I didn't know whether to agree to his bid or not.

At this moment, among the crowd of onlookers, a businessman shouted: "I'll give forty taels." Xiao Yu only then realized that more and more people were gathering, firstly, to see him as a strangely dressed person, and secondly, there was no shortage of people who were interested in the objects on his body.

The boy glanced back at the person who was shouting just now, and then turned around and said, "Fifty taels are under the table, is it okay?" Xiao Yu was still stunned, and the boy had already put a heavy ingot of silver in his hand.

An empty mineral water bottle was sold for fifty taels of silver, which was the largest transaction Xiao Yu had made since he was born, and it was also the biggest profiteering business. It's not just a huge profit, it's just a big robbery... It seems that this trade business is really easy to do, it seems that Chen Zhen's head is still lively, and he knew the idea of exchanging glass balls for beautiful jade beforehand... When I thought of Chen Zhen, I immediately thought of Zhang He, ah, these two boys were still waiting for themselves on the grass of that era.

I was in a hurry, and I thought about when I should go back, after all, it was the first time to cross at this time, and there would be more opportunities in the future, anyway, this time I didn't come in vain and earned a silver ingot.

The boy picked up the mineral water bottle and walked away happily, and the person who shouted forty taels of businessmen just now was still a little unwilling, and seemed to be looking for something.

Seeing that the people around him had not dispersed, Xiao Yu opened his backpack and put the silver in it. At this moment, many people watched and spied on what else was inside the open backpack.

Looking at this group of greedy eyes, Xiao Yu suddenly became enlightened, it turned out that there were still many things in the backpack, and they would definitely be very valuable here... He poured out all the contents of his backpack.

Two bottles of mineral water, five sausages, two loaves of bread, two flashlights, a lighter, a folding umbrella, and of course, the mobile phone was on the body and did not dare to take it out.

Someone in the crowd exclaimed, and the businessman-looking man hurriedly stepped forward and said to Xiao Yu, "Can you ask Brother Tai if these objects are going to be sold?"

Xiao Yu was not panicked at this time, knowing that the security and folk customs here were still very simple. He replied, "Yes, does Mr. mean it?"

"If you want to make a move, please put away your belongings and come with me, it's a lot of noise here. The businessman-looking man also clenched his fists and said.

Xiao Yu put the poured items back into his bag one by one, and someone picked up a sausage and asked, "What is this?"

Xiao Yu replied: "This thing is a sausage, which is used to eat." ”

"How much is this thing silver?" Xiao Yu heard that he was talking in silver again, not even saying a copper plate, which was really valuable in their eyes.

Xiao Yu looked at it, took it from the man's hand a little jokingly, twisted it all at once, exposed the red meat inside, peeled off the skin and took a bite, and said with a smile: "One or two pieces of silver." ”

Seeing that Xiao Yu was chewing quite fragrantly, the man handed over a piece of silver to buy one.

Xiao Yu opened his mouth full of meat foam and didn't know what to do, he thought it was a joke and didn't want the other party to take it seriously. took a sausage from his bag and handed it to the man, who also followed Xiao Yu's example, suddenly wrung off the sausage, peeled off the skin and stuffed it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and suddenly exclaimed: "Well, it's delicious, it's delicious, it's really delicious..."

The merchant couldn't stand it anymore, and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, Xiao Ke has already purchased all this gentleman's belongings, please don't buy them by force." ”

Xiao Yu also felt that he was a little excessive, promised others, and showed off here, so he hurriedly carried his bag and followed the businessman.

The merchant kept asking questions on the road, probing Xiao Yu's details. Of course, Xiao Yu didn't dare to say that he had crossed over from another era, and he still made up nonsense according to what he said when he entered the city.

After walking for a short time, I came to a shop with the words 'Ju Yi Zhai'. When the guy in the shop saw the merchant, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Shopkeeper Liu is back? Shopkeeper Liu took off his hat and handed it to the worker.

Follow the so-called shopkeeper Liu into the front hall and walk through a corridor, not far from the inner hall.

Shopkeeper Liu let Xiao Yu to the roof, and Xiao Yu saw that this inner hall was also elegant, and the decoration was also luxurious. The furniture is all made of mahogany, Xiao Yu is not polite, sitting at the table, there is a pot of tea brewed on the table, and the strong smell of tea is something that Xiao Yu has never smelled in his own time.

The two sides sat down, and the shopkeeper Liu poured Xiao Yu a cup of tea, and he smelled the aroma, and he was really full of relish.

Xiao Yu couldn't help but say: "Good tea, good tea." ”

"Mr. also often tastes tea?" said the shopkeeper Liu.

Xiao Yu smiled and said: "The tea here is good, the water is good, it is really delicious, much better than mineral water." ”

Shopkeeper Liu raised his glass and said: "This is the best cloud and mist, and the water is the water of Yuquan Mountain on the outskirts of the city." Jiake came from afar in the West, probably because of the first taste, so he will have this sigh. ”

After drinking two glasses, Shopkeeper Liu said: "The price of the items in the sir's bag is two taels of silver? ”

Xiao Yu felt that he should get to the point at this time, so he poured out all the contents of the bag on the table and said, "Look at the shopkeeper and give it to you." In fact, he was also making his own little calculations in his heart, a bottle of mineral water was sold for fifty taels, and two bottles of one hundred taels were already available, and other things were up to him.

Shopkeeper Liu has seen mineral water and sausages, so he picked up the folding umbrella and looked at Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu stood up and opened the umbrella and closed it, Shopkeeper Liu tried to see the structure inside, shouted good objects, and said: "How many umbrellas have I seen, but I have never seen such a delicate thing, and there is such an open and shrinking between the closures, which is really ingenious." I couldn't help but sigh when I held the closed umbrella in my hand and flipped it in one hand.

After gently putting down the umbrella, he picked up the flashlight, and after carefully looking at it for a long time, he was confused, looking at Xiao Yu in the hope of showing it.

Xiao Yu deliberately asked Shopkeeper Liu to close the curtains, and the room suddenly became dark. I saw that he looked at the innocent eyes of the shopkeeper Liu and suddenly pressed the flashlight button, and saw a strong light illuminating the room. At that time, the shopkeeper Liu was stunned and stunned.

Shopkeeper Liu took the flashlight and pressed it a few times, the day turned into night, and the night changed to day, and he sighed a lot. Xiao Yu knew in his heart that once the battery of this thing ran out, it would become a waste, so he unscrewed the flashlight and took out the battery to tell the shopkeeper Liu the principle.

Shopkeeper Liu was a little relieved at this time, and said: "Mr. is really kind, if you don't sue me, I won't know." ”

Xiao Yu then operated the lighter, but it also surprised Shopkeeper Liu.

After seeing these so-called treasures, Shopkeeper Liu asked the guy to make good tea again. With a sincere face on his face, he said: "I already know these heavenly things, dare to ask Mr. How much silver is charged?"

Xiao Yu really couldn't think of how much to ask, so he rolled his eyes and said, "What is the value of the shopkeeper's feeling?" A chain kick kicked the ball to him.

Shopkeeper Liu looked at the things on the table, gritted his teeth and said, "A total of two hundred taels of silver... Is it possible?"

Xiao Yu smiled, was silent, and just picked up the teacup and drank tea.

"Two hundred and fifty taels ......" shopkeeper Liu added another fifty taels.

When Xiao Yu heard this, he knew that there were still benefits to be added, after all, he brought this thing over this time. Just pretend to get up and return the things to the backpack...

Shopkeeper Liu saw that he was packing up his things, and he was anxious all of a sudden, and said, "Three hundred taels of silver, if the transaction is made, I will pay the full amount immediately?"

At this moment, there was a shouting outside, and I saw the guy hurriedly running in and said: "Shopkeeper Liu, a few people have come outside, like the children of the Eight Banners, shouting to see some missionary..."

When the shopkeeper Liu heard this, his heart was broken, and the robbers came, and it was estimated that after the Eight Banners boy went back, he showed off the mineral water bottle, attracting a group of owners who wanted goods. Thinking that he couldn't afford to provoke these children, he got up and let Xiao Yu sit down and came to the front hall by himself.

There were already four or five people sitting in the front hall, and Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly stepped forward to greet the guests.

One of them is the boy who bought Xiao Yu's mineral water bottle, and when the boy saw the shopkeeper Liu, he said: "I said the shopkeeper, where in the world are others to buy things, where do you raise the price, do you know the rules." ”

Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly said with a smile: "After Xiao Ke shouted the price, I saw that it was you, so I stopped talking, please understand." ”

The boy waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, it's just a few taels of silver." How did I hear that you had invited that missionary in different clothes to your house? ”

Shopkeeper Liu already knew what he was going to do, so he said, "The missionary is gone, and all his belongings are purchased by Xiaoke." ”

When the boy heard this, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, so he said, "Oh, you bought them all?

Shopkeeper Liu rolled his eyes and said, "Then please wait a while, Xiao Ke will come out in a while, and let Childe choose to play." With that, he asked the man to serve tea to everyone, and he ran to the back hall.

When he came to the back hall, Shopkeeper Liu stabilized his mind and said, "A few guests came, so Mr. waited for a long time." ”

Xiao Yu understood in his heart that just now he said that the people outside wanted to see the missionary, that is, he was a guest at this time, and he knew that there was something greasy inside, but it was inconvenient to say it.

Shopkeeper Liu saw that Xiao Yu was looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall with his hands behind his back, and there was still a group of people outside to send away, so he said anxiously: "Sir, the price is five hundred taels of silver, and it can't be high... Xiao Ke immediately hit the silver ticket. ”

Xiao Yu turned his head and smiled when he heard this, "Is it useful to take the silver ticket back, even if you give me five hundred taels of silver?" He pointed to the calligraphy and painting on the wall and said: "Shopkeeper, this way, I don't want silver, you just give me the two calligraphy and paintings here." ”

When Shopkeeper Liu heard this, he looked at the two calligraphy and paintings on the wall and was stunned for a while.

It was bought by himself ten years ago for 600 taels of silver, one is an ink painting of flowers and birds by Xu Wei in the former Ming Dynasty, and the other is a calligraphy written by Wen Zhengming, both of whom are contemporary masters. Shopkeeper Liu also had the opportunity to receive these two calligraphy and paintings at a very low price, but he didn't expect to be taken by Xiao Yu.

In fact, Xiao Yu didn't know calligraphy and painting at all, so he felt that these two calligraphy and paintings looked relatively old. It's much lighter than bringing fifty or sixty pounds of silver by yourself, anyway, it's just a few bottles of water, a bunch of tattered ones, and you won't suffer if you change it wrong.

Seeing that there were people waiting outside, these two words have not been identified by everyone as true or false, and maybe they are fakes, even if they are sold for only a thousand taels of silver, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, just as Mr. wishes." ”

stepped forward and took off the two calligraphy and paintings, rolled them up, found a cloth and wrapped them, and even the box that used to contain the calligraphy and paintings was too late to find it.

Xiao Yu put the calligraphy and painting in his backpack and said with a smile: "Thank you, shopkeeper, I hope business will be prosperous." ”

At this time, Shopkeeper Liu was full of thoughts about how to get rid of the masters in the front hall, where did he care about this, so he let Xiao Yu go out through the back door.

As soon as Xiao Yu gave up his hand, he was about to go out through the back door.

Shopkeeper Liu looked at Xiao Yu's back and suddenly thought of something, so he hurriedly called him to stop.
