Chapter 136: The Pawnshop
After saying this, Lu Yan made a gesture to get back the wrench, turned around and wanted to leave, but was hurriedly stopped by the shopkeeper.
"Eh, eh! Don't worry, little brother! We can negotiate business, I dare to guarantee that this city is the most creditworthy of our family, and you will never lose it to me, little brother! ”
"Oh? Won't lose? ”
Lu Yan turned back and looked at him with a smile, "A wrench of at least one hundred taels, there are only eighty taels left when you come here, what kind of integrity do you mention to me?" ”
The shopkeeper's face froze instantly, and he snorted, not knowing what to say.
I thought that there were a few hillbillies in front of me who were illiterate, but I didn't expect that I would actually look away this time and meet an expert!
Si Si was still a little confused, but now he also reacted, and pointed to the shopkeeper with a sudden realization and said, "You actually want to deceive us and want to lower the price!" ”
"Eh, this ......" The shopkeeper rubbed his hands a little crampedly, and said with a smile: "Isn't this business?" It's all like this, but I think I'm blind today, so if you two sell me this wrench, I'll ...... I'll make a blood capital today, how about one hundred and twenty taels? ”
The shopkeeper saw that Lu Yan's face was still indifferent, and he seemed to be even more anxious.
"O brother! It's not that I said, you can't be too greedy, one hundred and twenty taels! You can't find a pawnshop in the whole city that can pay such a high price! ”
I'm a good man, a wrench is more than a hundred taels, and there are several more on my side, isn't that ...... A few hundred taels? It's sky-high!
Si Si's expression was a little dazed, although he knew that the Qi family was rich, but he didn't expect to be so rich, a few hundred taels of silver! Master Naqi wore it on his body like this, and he was not afraid of being robbed.
Now she can understand why when she asked for jewelry, Master Qi's face was so ugly, and if she changed her words, she must be unwilling!
"Forget it, this wrench is also an heirloom, I still can't bear to sell it, this business, I'm afraid there is no way to do it with the shopkeeper."
"This ......" The shopkeeper's face was very ugly, although this wrench was a little more ordinary, but ......
"Is there really no way to make this business?" The shopkeeper still asked unwillingly.
"Still not, next time if there is a chance, we will not be too late to cooperate." Lu Yan shook his head, and went out with Si Si and Jixiang, leaving only the shopkeeper to choke his wrists in place, regretting it.
"Lu Yan, the price was already very high just now, why don't you sell it?"
Si Si asked with some confusion.
Lu Yan smiled coldly, "What is sold, the shopkeeper obviously has a picture, but he still hasn't made it clear." ”
He asked Si Si to still not understand, sighed, and explained: "Although this wrench is pure gold, and the carving or something is also superb, but it is far from one hundred and twenty taels, since the shopkeeper will pay such a high price, he is either stupid or has an urgent need." ”
"But what's the urgency...... But he didn't say a word. ”
"You mean that this wrench is not worth so much money, and the shopkeeper must have some other use."
"Almost, it's a little smarter." Lu Yan looked teachable on his face.
"Are we going to sell this wrench, then?"
"Sell! Why don't you sell it, but you have to find another store and ask for clarity before selling. ”
Lu Yan saw a tea shed not far away, his eyes lit up, and he walked over with Sisi. terminal
"Little Er, let's have three bowls of tea!"
"Okay! Guest, wait a minute. ”
The little second-hand foot quickly served tea to Lu Yan and them.
"Why are we sitting here drinking tea? Aren't you going to sell something? Sith tugged at his sleeve and whispered.
"That's also worth asking!" Lu Yan smiled and said loudly: "Little Er! ”
"Eh, guest officer, do you have any orders?"
Lu Yan took out a handful of copper coins from his arms and handed them to Xiao Er, Xiao Er suddenly smiled, and quickly received it in his arms.
"Xiao Er, let me ask you, which pawnshop has the best reputation in this city?"
"That's right, the things in this city, there's nothing I don't know, if you want to say that the reputation is the best, it should be the Zhou shopkeeper of Ruyi Pawnshop, he has an excellent vision, and people are also very trustworthy, go there, yes."
"Huh?" Lu Yan pretended to be puzzled, "But when I just came over, there was also a pawnshop over there, isn't it good over there?" ”
"You can't say no." Xiao Er smiled awkwardly, looked left and right, and found that no one noticed here, so he approached, and said in a lower voice: "The shopkeeper of that pawnshop is a little greedy, no matter how much it should be worth, it will be lowered by a grade, so ah, people who know the Tao generally don't go there." ”
That's what it looks like.
Lu Yan continued to ask thoughtfully, "Then has anything happened in this city recently?" ”
The little second thought for a while and said, "It seems that there hasn't been anything big lately, oh, that's right!" Recently there was a Yao master in the city, he didn't love beautiful calligraphy and painting, his favorite thing is to collect a celebrity's carving, no matter how big or small, jewelry or ornaments, as long as he sent it over, after confirming that it was true, he would send five hundred taels of silver, and ah! There is no cap! ”
Five hundred taels!
Si Si and Lu Yan glanced at each other, and they both understood in their hearts.
It turns out that the valuable thing is not the golden wrench, but the carved flower!
No wonder the shopkeeper's face suddenly changed! I see!
After asking everything clearly, Lu Yan asked the little second to go about his own affairs, and after drinking the tea and paying the money.
They went to the Ruyi pawnshop that Xiao Er had just introduced.
There was no one in the pawnshop, but the shopkeeper inside was not as listless as the previous one, but he looked quite energetic.
"What do you want, two!?" The shopkeeper greeted warmly, not at all the same as the person just now.
"We want to be something?"
Lu Yan took out the wrench again.
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up suddenly, and he looked at the wrench excitedly.
"This, this wrench must be sold to me! It doesn't matter how much it is. ”
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he looked at Lu Yan and the others who were still thinking, thinking that they couldn't make up their minds.
