Chapter 640
Xuan Qi entered the gold shop, looked up, and faced a row of tall jujube red counters, three middle-aged people behind the counter, sitting on the jujube red chairs with high backs, there was a bit of domineering posture, behind them was a statue of the God of Wealth, in front of the statue, the cigarette curled up, rising directly to the roof of the shed, and there was no smoke in the room.
Originally, Xuanqi wanted to take a good look at this gold shop, but unexpectedly, as soon as he walked to the front of the counter, he saw the person sitting behind the counter facing him, who only showed his neck and head, and grinned at him; "Guest officer, please, I'm here to take care of the gold trade."
Hearing this, Xuan Qi couldn't help but ask; "I want to exchange gold for some loose silver or five baht, I wonder if you can exchange it here?"
When the man heard Xuanqi's words, he looked at Xuanqi carefully, and then he bowed his ass slightly, pointed to the innermost person and said; "The guest officer is going inside, who is responsible for taking care of the exchange of silver taels."
When Xuan Qi heard this, he no longer spoke, but went straight inside, took out the small piece of gold, and in an instant, a golden light flashed in Xuan Qi's hand, although the golden light was not conspicuous, however, the person sitting behind the counter still stood up and said with a smile; "Guest, please, I'll serve you a cup of tea."
Just as the man was talking, from the other side of the counter, a girl in a golden dress came out, holding a golden teatray in her hand, and in the teatray was a teapot with a golden glow, and a white fine porcelain teacup.
Seeing that the girl came out, the person sitting behind the counter, he stood up with a smile, walked out of the counter, made a gesture of please to Xuanqi, and then said; "Invite the guest to sit down, drink tea and talk."
Hearing this, Xuan Qi followed the person's gesture and looked, wow, it turned out that behind him, there was a table of eight immortals, and a set of tea sets were placed on each table of eight immortals, but the tea sets placed on the table were silver-white, and they were all white teapots with four silver-white fine porcelain teacups, except for the girl who came out, and there was a golden teapot in the tea tray in her hand.
For some reason, Xuan Qi felt disgusted in his heart when he saw this way of treating people, so he didn't move, but said directly to the person who walked out of the counter; "Please go back and see how much silver or five baht my gold can be exchanged for."
When the man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then he said; "Guest officer, guest officer, it's better to sit down and talk and rest."
Unexpectedly, before the person's words fell, Xuan Qi had already put the piece of gold in his hand on the counter, and in an instant, all the people in the room focused on the small gold nugget, but it turned out that the gold nugget that Xuan Qi put on the counter was shining.
At this moment, three more customers walked in from the outside, and the man who walked out of the counter immediately returned to the counter in a hurry, and reached out to take the piece of gold, but unexpectedly he took it twice in succession, and only then did he pick up the small gold nugget, and when the small gold nugget arrived, the man could not help but weigh it, and suddenly gasped, and began to look at it carefully, and kept muttering in his mouth; "Good gold, good gold, absolutely perfect gold, this is the most outstanding gold I've ever seen in my life, maybe it, maybe it, it's not right!"
The man rolled his eyes at this, and whispered to the other two people sitting in the chair, bowing their heads and surrounding them. The girl immediately greeted the three guests who had just entered, and then let them sit down at the table of the Eight Immortals.
The girl was pouring tea for the three guests who had just walked in, and gossiping, while the three people gathered together were nervously weighing the little piece of gold, and Xuan Qi couldn't help frowning when he saw this, and urged; "Please exchange the three shopkeepers for silver taels quickly, I still have to hurry!"
Xuan Qi's words immediately made the three people raise their heads, first a person who seemed to be the leader, and said to Xuan Qi with a smile; "Childe, please take a step to speak!"
Seeing that the three shopkeepers were very cautious, and seemed to be unsure of their ideas, Xuan Qi became anxious, to be honest, he was afraid of delaying the business, so he hurriedly said; "If you have something to say here, I really have to hurry!"
Hearing Xuan Qi's very anxious words, the three shopkeepers looked at each other, and the person who was about to take the first step to speak had to ask in a low voice; "Childe, where did you get this piece of gold?"
Hearing this kind of question, Xuan Qi was a little angry, he just wanted to say whether it would be stolen or robbed, but before Xuan Qi could say it, he saw a person holding a piece of gold and weighing the small piece of gold seriously, so he didn't speak, but at this time, he heard another person, hurriedly played a round and said; "Our big shopkeeper didn't mean that, he meant to ask Gongye, how many silver taels are you going to exchange for this special piece of gold?"
When Xuan Qi heard this explanation, he immediately had more eyes, and secretly thought, it should be your pricing, why did you even ask me, could it be that my piece of gold is really surprising and very special, so he said tentatively; "The three of them are the ones who opened the bank, so they naturally know the rules, and of course I can't violate your rules."
Hearing Xuanqi's very honest words, the man immediately nodded and said; "It seems that Gongzi is an honest gentleman who pays attention to credibility, if we follow our rules, one or two full of gold can be exchanged for fifteen taels of silver, just now we weighed it with a pole, your piece of seemingly small gold, although it is not a gold ingot, but it is very heavy, it is full of twenty taels, if it is calculated according to our exchange standards here, Gongzi You can exchange three hundred taels of silver, however, we are afraid that Gongzi will also say, so, there is this question."
When Xuan Qi heard this, he knew in his heart that the gold he took from Ping Yutian was a little different from the gold in the world, and it seemed to be really more expensive than their gold, but Xuan Qi knew better that the gold he took was for flowers, not for making a fortune, so he said; "Please don't worry, my gold is not only in good condition, but also precious, but I am in a hurry to use the money, there is no way, I came to you to exchange some silver and two flowers, as long as you give me enough, I have nothing to say."
Hearing this, the three people glanced at each other again, and the three guests who had just come in immediately stood up when they heard this, and wanted to lean over to have a look, but unexpectedly, they were stopped by the girl, and said; "Three officials, you are old customers, you should understand our rules here!"
The three customers listened to the girl's words and had to sit down again, but the six eyes stared at Xuanqi in unison. After a while, the three men began to talk to each other, and a voice spoke; "Not from the Golden Valley Garden."
Another voice picked up curiously; "Could it be the son of that prince!"
Just as the three men were suspicious, the leading shopkeeper asked quietly; "How much is what the prince said?"
Originally, Xuan Qi planned to exchange some silver or five baht coins and leave, but he unexpectedly caused so much trouble, of course, this kind of trouble is undesirable for a person who is really short of money to spend, but for Xuan Qi, it is nothing at all, so he said lightly; "The three are connoisseurs, so I won't ask for more, my piece of gold is worth four hundred taels of silver, I think that's it, you give me another string of five baht."
As soon as Xuan Qi said this, he heard the shopkeeper who was the leader interrupt him and asked; "Childe, do you bet this piece of gold with us and exchange it for some silver flowers for the time being, or do you really exchange it and not come to redeem it in the future."
Hearing the words of the shopkeeper, Xuan Qi opened his eyes again, but it turned out that this place can still be pawned, and at the same time, he realized the importance of the booklet that the turtle world asked him to memorize from the changes before and after the three shopkeepers, it seems that the world is really a world of money, thinking of this, Xuan Qi couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
At this point, the three shopkeepers saw that Xuanqi did not squeak, and thought that he regretted it, so they looked at each other again, and then the leading shopkeeper spoke again; "As long as the prince does not come to redeem it in the future, we can give you five hundred taels of silver, but this requires the prince to make a note, so as not to speak in the future."
Xuan Qi just heard this, his heart jumped, and he suddenly remembered the piece of gold he had staked in Yichun Building in order to get out, what should he do, whether to take it himself or let them redeem it with the silver, at this moment, the door opened, and two more men walked in, and shouted when they entered the door; "Jin Da Shopkeeper, come quickly, I want to save some silver here."
The shopkeeper at the head of the company heard the voice, looked up, and hurriedly greeted; "It's the third master who is here, wait and wait, I'll go over immediately."
Then he said something to the inside; "Silver ingots, don't come out to serve tea to distinguished guests!"
With the words of the big shopkeeper, a crisp and pleasant voice sounded; "It's coming, it's coming!"
With this kung fu, Xuan Qi got the right idea, he looked at the shopkeeper who was the leader and said; "Shopkeeper, I will definitely not redeem this bit of gold, but I still have something to discuss."
The head of the shopkeeper immediately agreed; "Son, please speak."
Xuan Qi immediately lowered his voice and said; "I will only exchange this piece of gold for three hundred taels of silver and a string of five baht coins, and the remaining two hundred taels of silver, please spend one hundred taels of silver to redeem the other piece of gold that I have stored in Yichun Tower, and put it here for safekeeping, and the other one hundred taels of silver will be counted as the cost of the gold nugget I gave you to keep for me in advance."
The three shopkeepers were really overjoyed when they heard this, and they looked at these three people, and instantly took out six silver ingots weighing fifty taels from the counter, and then took out a string of five baht coins, looking at Xuanqi meaningfully.
