Chapter 30 Shunfa Pawnshop
The sun is shining every day, and the progress of the foundation project is gratifying. As long as the foundation is laid, the main project on the ground will be much faster.
The owner, Zhan Hengyi, occasionally came to inspect the construction site and was quite satisfied with the work of Yang Laosi and Pomegranate Hua.
In order to reward the two for their hard work, Zhan Hengyi invited them to Dingfeng Building for dinner.
After eating and drinking, Pomegranate Blossom went downstairs first and ran to the Shunfa pawnshop in the town.
The sun is scorching, and it is afternoon again, people mostly hide in their houses to rest, and there are few pedestrians on the street.
Half of the customers in the pawnshop were gone, and the shopkeeper and the man were so bored that they dozed off.
The Shunfa pawnshop is Zhang Dahe's, and the pomegranate flower first watched across the street for a while, confirmed that Zhang Dahe was not in the pawnshop, and then walked in.
The man was drowsy little by little with his head on his hands, and the shopkeeper was sleeping soundly on the counter.
"Wake up, wake up, I'll be something." Pomegranate knocked the counter and shouted.
Hearing the shout, the man opened his eyes and saw that the little girl standing in front of the counter was dressed not like a big family, and asked lazily, "What should I be?" We don't deserve to be in tattered clothes. ”
"This, my son-in-law asked me to be this jade pendant." Pomegranate took out an embroidered bag and placed it on the counter.
The embroidered bag is made of fine silk and embroidered with exquisite patterns, which is not cheap at first glance.
When the guy saw the embroidered bag, he finally had some energy, grabbed the embroidered bag and poured the contents on the counter, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The jade pendant is clear, moist and luster, and the emerald color is warm and blue, so good-looking.
The guy hurriedly grabbed the jade pendant in his hand and took a closer look.
This jade pendant is carved from the best Hetian jade, the main body is the bell, and a bat is carved above, which means lifelong blessing. The bell is a relief, and the bat is an openwork, which is exquisitely exquisite, dense and delicate in texture, and starts to generate temperature.
"How much silver?" Seeing that the guy was fascinated, Pomegranate Blossom deliberately interrupted.
"Girl, please wait." Although the guy has some eyesight, he still can't understand the value of this jade pendant, so he hurriedly woke up the sleeping shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper took the jade pendant in a daze and took a look, and his hazy sleepy eyes suddenly became clear, and the essence flashed.
Holding the jade pendant in his hand, the shopkeeper squinted slightly, and asked expressionlessly: "Girl, who owns this jade pendant?" ”
"My son-in-law's!" Pomegranate replied with a wink.
The shopkeeper twisted the beard on his chin and asked, "Dare to ask which family your son-in-law belongs to?" ”
"My son-in-law is here to do business in Huangni Town, not from here, and you don't know him." Pomegranate frowned and said impatiently: "I'm just here to be a thing, what are you asking these for?" Is it right or not? ”
"We're a pawnshop here, how can someone be a pawn?" A hint of cunning flashed in the shopkeeper's little eyes, and he asked, "I don't know how much silver this jade pendant wants the girl to be?" ”
"Childe's confession, it can't be less than one thousand taels." Pomegranate replied.
Before coming, when she discussed strategies with Zhan Hengyi and Yang Laosi, Yang Laosi said that anyway, regardless of whether the pawn was priceless or not, Shunfa Pawnshop would give at most one-tenth of the real value.
And Zhan Hengyi's jade pendant, when he bought it, it cost three thousand taels, and now the pomegranate flower says one thousand taels, but he just opened his mouth casually.
The shopkeeper heard that the pomegranate flower was going to be a thousand taels of silver, threw the jade pendant on the counter, and sneered: "A broken jade pendant also wants to be a thousand taels of silver, and the girl's appetite is too big." ”
"Why can't it be a thousand taels, the son said that the jade pendant was bought for two thousand taels of silver." Pomegranate pursed her lips and retorted to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper looked disdainful, looked at the jade pendant on the counter and continued to mock: "Your son-in-law is shallow, and he doesn't know if he has been deceived, this jade pendant is worth five hundred taels at most." ”
"How could my son-in-law be deceived, you must be fooling me." Pomegranate stared at the shopkeeper in disbelief.
The shopkeeper snorted coldly, lowered his face and said: "The old man has been in the industry for more than 30 years, and these two tricks are not sharp-eyed, but he has never deviated from seeing things. This jade pendant is two hundred taels of silver, if you are willing to take it, if you don't want to be it, you can find another place, and see if the price will be higher than mine. ”
When a business person goes out to pawn something, it must be because there is a mistake in the payment and the silver turnover is needed, and the matter is urgent and cannot be delayed.
The shopkeeper deduced from Pomegranate Hua's words just now that her master's jade pendant was indispensable, so he gave a very low price.
"No, no, no, this is too little, I can't pay the difference to my son when I go back." The pomegranate flower shook her head like a rattle, but her words revealed a message to the shopkeeper, that is: the jade pendant should be used, but some silver must be added to it.
The shopkeeper was actually afraid that the fat that was about to arrive would fly, and when he heard the words of the pomegranate flower, he immediately changed his face to a kind face and said: "It's not easy for you to be a little girl doing things for the master, so I'll add another hundred taels of silver to you." Something worth 500 taels should be 300 taels, this price has reached the top, no matter how high it is, I can't pay the owner! ”
Pomegranate Hua hesitated for a while, and nodded dejectedly, "If it weren't for the fact that the prince was in a hurry to use the silver, this jade pendant would never be so cheap." ”
This made the shopkeeper even more convinced that his inference was right, and hurriedly picked up the pen and wrote the pawn ticket.
When the pomegranate saw that the fish had been hooked, the corners of her lips slowly raised.
The shopkeeper wrote the pawn ticket, took out three silver tickets of one hundred taels, and then asked the pomegranate flower to press the handprint, pretending to be concerned and asking: "The girl can read the words, should the pawn ticket be read to the girl?" ”
I can't read, what's the use of you reading to me? Whatever is written, you don't say it!
Pomegranate sneered in her heart, pressed her handprint, took the pawn ticket and silver ticket given to her, and said with a sinister expression: "Don't read it, I don't think you will be a little girl in such a big pawnshop." ”
"Okay, girl, walk slowly. If you come to redeem the jade pendant in the future, please remember to bring the pawn ticket. "When the fat arrived, the shopkeeper began to drive people away.
Pomegranate nodded, put away the pawn ticket and silver ticket, and walked out of the door of the Shunfa pawnshop.
The shopkeeper stood at the door and watched the pomegranate flower go away, and then returned to the pawnshop to explain to the guy, and then took the jade pendant just now and left.
Shunfa pawnshop and Dingfeng Building are not far apart, and Zhan Hengyi and Yang Laosi are still waiting in the private room on the second floor at this time.
Pomegranate came up to the private room and handed the pawn ticket and silver ticket to Zhan Hengyi, "Okay, the situation is exactly the same as we imagined." ”
Zhan Hengyi unhurriedly picked up the pawn ticket and took a look, only to see that the pawn ticket read: A lifetime blessed jade pendant, three hundred taels of silver, and two money and goods. To redeem, add interest XXX per day. The pawnshop is paid and stamped with a red seal.
When the ticket only wrote the style of the jade pendant, there was no mention of the origin and quality of the jade.
"As I expected." Zhan Hengyi laughed heartily after reading the ticket, with excitement in his eyes, "The fish that bites the dead hook can't escape, let's go and collect the net in a few days." ”
Yang Laosi took the opportunity to pat himself on the back, "The owner is like a god, with you strategizing, Zhang Dahe, that despicable villain, this time he can't cry if he wants to." ”
Zhan Hengyi knew that Yang Laosi was flattering him, but he was very useful in his heart, so he nodded and said: "This son is resourceful, and it is a big fortune to deal with local ruffians and bullies, and it is a knife to kill chickens!" ”
Yang Lao Si froze.
Liuhua complained in her heart: I've seen a thick-skinned person, but I've never seen a thick-skinned one like you.
Zhan Hengyi was in a good mood and proposed to go to Mingwuju to drink tea.
There is nothing important on the construction site, and someone treats a guest to drink tea to kill time, so why not?
Pomegranate Hua and Yang Laosi readily agreed.
A few people went downstairs and left, and the rest of the matter was not mentioned.
Let's say that the shopkeeper of the pawnshop took the jade pendant to Zhang Dahe's house, Zhang Dahe's heart was full of joy after careful identification, and he thought that the feng shui of the house was real, and he made a fortune in a few days.
After all, Huangni Town is a land of projectiles, there are few people who come to the pawnshop to pawn things, and there are very few valuable objects.
"Money shopkeeper, you have done a good job in this matter, this is a great achievement, I will record it for you." Zhang Dahe patted the shopkeeper on the shoulder and praised.
"Wherever and wherever you are, you should do your best for the owner." The shopkeeper finished politely, and then asked: "The owner, if they come back to redeem the jade pendant, how should we deal with it?" ”
Zhang Dahe pondered for a moment and said decisively: "Judging from the situation you said, there is not much chance that they will come back to redeem the jade pendant, but we can't be unguarded." You immediately take the jade pendant to the jade shop, and let them find a piece of jade and carve it according to the ornament on it. ”
"Okay, I'll do it right away." The money shopkeeper answered.
