Chapter 112: Deal

Thinking that the back hall of this pawnshop is nothing more than a room, a table and a few chairs, and some more furnishings, but the back hall of this pawnshop is unique. When I opened the curtain, there was a narrow aisle, and after passing through the aisle alone, I found that it suddenly opened up.

The spacious guest listening decoration is quite chic, there are flowers and grass on the rockery of the size of a wall carving, there is an imitation waterwheel on the side of the stirring of the clear water next to it, the water is driven by the waterwheel to a high place, at the top of the rockery, it flows out of the appearance of a waterfall, the sprinkling of mercury splashes out, and a row of small flowers in front of the rockery is watered fresh and translucent.

On one side of the rockery was the calligraphy and painting of the literati, and the woman just glanced at it, and immediately showed a puzzled look on her face, and then looked at the shopkeeper who was a little cunning, and the woman's expression became even more alert.

"Guest, please take a seat!" On the other side of the Eight Immortals table, the shopkeeper sat down with his hands in a gesture of invitation, and the woman put the things in her arms on the table, and pulled in her direction for safety reasons, and then settled down. The shopkeeper just glanced at it and didn't say anything, he reached out and picked up the teapot on the table, the silver teapot was finely crafted, revealing the exquisite ingenuity everywhere.

The shopkeeper's hand was raised slightly, and the pale yellow tea flowed out of the teapot, although it was not hot tea, but the freshness still floated out faintly, and the woman's nose sniffed slightly, and suddenly felt different.

"Tea, please!" The shopkeeper handed the tea to the woman, who looked at it and did not quote it.

"I'm not here for tea, the shopkeeper doesn't have to be so polite!" The woman said solemnly.

"Since the guest officer is so straightforward, then I won't beat around the bush. What did the guest officer bring today? Can you take a look down now? As soon as the shopkeeper said this, the woman took away the clothes that were wrapped outside, revealing a porcelain vase ornament that was more than a foot long. Shopkeeper Zhang just glanced at it like this, and couldn't help but be secretly shocked in his heart, no wonder this woman asked him to look at it personally, such a guy really didn't dare to offer a price for this thing.

Shopkeeper Zhang already knew where the woman came from, so, although he was shocked in his heart, his face was still silent, he carefully observed the bottle of celadon texture, the bottle is about fifty or sixty centimeters high, the bottle body is not very thick, the carved patterns are not numerous, but there are four lotus-like decorations at the mouth of the bottle, the faint green is faintly revealed in the pink, the experienced shopkeeper Zhang knows that the pink is not made of acquired seasoning, it is the color of the jade itself, The craftsman had the unique eye to make it look like a lotus flower, and with this natural color and texture alone, this thing is not something that ordinary people can make. Even if there is such a craftsman, it is not easy to get such a thing.

Shopkeeper Zhang has been doing this business for so many years, although he has seen a lot of rare and exotic treasures, but it is indeed the first time he has seen such a treasure. The whole bottle is not the slightest rough, every inch of the bottle body is polished quite smooth, this looks like the official kiln thing, plus knowing the identity of the woman, the origin of this thing is more certain in the heart of the shopkeeper Zhang.

"This thing...... It's really a good thing......" Shopkeeper Zhang stroked his beard and nodded.

"What? The shopkeeper also thinks it's a good thing? The woman cast a wary glance.

"A good thing is a good thing...... It's just that...... I don't know how much silver the guest officer wants? ”

"Since the shopkeeper thinks it's a good thing, I won't hide it, I want 10,000 taels for this bottle!" The woman stretched out a finger, which was a little fat, smooth and white, and showed no sign of toil.

Hearing this number, the shopkeeper's face was embarrassed, he smacked his mouth and said but did not answer immediately.

"What? Since it's a good thing, doesn't the shopkeeper think it's even worth this number? The woman was a little flustered, perhaps a little anxious, and when she saw the shopkeeper's embarrassment, she naturally became anxious.

"The guest officer misunderstood, this thing is definitely a good thing, ten thousand taels...... Maybe it's not much...... I'm not afraid of jokes from the guest officer, I really can't take out so much silver at this moment...... If the guest officer really wants to be, this price ......" The shopkeeper twisted his beard and showed a very embarrassed look.

"What are you kidding? I inquired before I came, and the shopkeeper in this alley is full of money! The woman was a little excited.

"The guest officer is really frustrated, and besides, is the rumor outside credible? One can be said to be ten, ten can be said to be hundred, I Zhang Maocheng myself have a few catties and a few taels, I still know it myself, don't believe the rumors outside. What's more, this 10,000 taels of cash can't be taken out! The shopkeeper smiled helplessly, and the woman seemed to be a little angry.

"How much can the shopkeeper give?" The woman gritted her teeth as if she was making the last slippers, and the shopkeeper was also looking at the bottle and thinking, and after a while, he gestured a figure of eight and said, "Eight thousand taels!" That's the highest price I can offer! All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the room seemed to be a little stiff, and the woman frowned visibly twice, as if she was still thinking about something, and the shopkeeper did not speak, but waited for the woman to answer.

The flowing water of the rockery waterfall made a low sound, stirring the silence in the house, and the shopkeeper took two sips of tea leisurely, as if the things here had nothing to do with him. After a while, I saw the woman gritting her teeth and saying as if she had made up her mind, "Eight thousand taels is eight thousand taels!" But I want cash! ”

"Of course, of course!" After that, the shopkeeper Zhang used his hand to button the lower end of the Eight Immortals table in the direction where he was sitting, and a hidden drawer was opened, and he took out a few silver tickets from it, carefully checked them, and handed them to the woman and said, "This is a silver ticket that can be redeemed, and the silver can be cashed at any time, please take a look!" ”

The woman took the silver ticket and hurriedly swept it over it, and finally carried it in her arms.

The deal was thus completed, and the woman did not procrastinate, but took the slip and left the bottle, got up and left. The shopkeeper personally sent him off, until the woman's figure disappeared completely in the night, and the shopkeeper walked back to the hall of the rockery waterfall, and the treasure he had just obtained stood there safely, as if the hall was even more glorious because of this bottle.

There was someone in the pawnshop who came in with a treasure, looking like a gambler, and after losing the gamble, he took his own family to pawn, and the guy was not warmly entertained, and after several bargains, he finally made a deal again.

This pawnshop is like this, and everyone who walks in thinks they are holding a priceless treasure, but the guys here don't have the same sense of identity. It can be seen from their wrinkled eyebrows, the corners of their eyes that jump up, and the corners of their mouths that are slightly pursed, but even so, they can't resist the boom of business in this alley. About midnight, just when the pawnshop was about to close, a man broke in with a jar, and said that his crockpot was an ancestral treasure.

Outside, the faint beating and pleading of the man could still be heard, but there was no reaction from inside the room, such things had long been commonplace for them!

This year's rain seems to be a bit too much, and the drizzle that had been drizzling for many days a while has just flown by, and the new moss growing in the dark corners of the house seems to have just receded.

Early in the morning, when the south wind opened the door of Mo Hui, the dark weather outside seemed to have not bid farewell to the sleepy night, and the air with the smell of rain came to the face, the south wind sighed, the weather was not good, and the muddy road also brought a lot of trouble to the darts. But there is no way, God doesn't care if you're in trouble or not, he only cares about the cloudy sky.

The hot and humid air is the most annoying, although very unhappy, but the business still has to open, not only Mo look back, the recent Linglong Pavilion Buddha is much more diligent, every time I just heard the sound of Mo turning back, the guys of the Linglong Pavilion over there also began to get up early.

Recently, the women in the capital seem to have received an unprecedented benefit, that is, most of the rouge in the Linglong Pavilion has been disposed of at a reduced price. This is a blessing for women who have a strong curiosity about the name of Linglong Pavilion but have no silver in their pockets, and they rush to Linglong Pavilion, not only to buy a box of Linglong Pavilion's rouge, but more importantly, to get involved in the luxury here, to satisfy the following vanity that they once couldn't stop.

Although this rouge seems to be sold very tightly in the market, only Linglong Pavilion's own people know that most of the sales are bargains, and the more they sell, the more they make more money, what makes Zhong Shiwei even more annoyed is that the palace supply business he relies on has always made frequent mistakes recently.

Obviously, the products they provide are all painstaking conscience products, but the ladies in the harem don't seem to buy it, they often send a lot of them, and they return a lot, and the highest record is that half of them are returned! These things are exclusively for the palace, and if they were placed in the past, they would definitely be in full swing, but I don't know why, those ladies and ladies who were waiting in line for the return of Linglong Pavilion in the early years seemed to have lost interest in Linglong Pavilion, and they all switched to Mo Huitou's door.

This peer is like an enemy, not to mention that these two enemies are still opposed, seeing that the people on the opposite side are all rich guests, and those who come from their own side are people who once couldn't afford to buy half a box of rouge in Linglong Pavilion, Zhong Shiwei's mood is like the sky outside, and he can't see a trace of light in his gloom!
