Pingyuan Hou Mansion is the Hou Mansion outside Beijing, located in Qingyang, which is a port city.

From the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Qingyang was used as an open port to develop foreign trade. After a hundred years of development, it has been the first port of Dazhou.

The big ship with several floors high, the foreign beauties in fancy clothes, not to mention the goods, the big ships are berthed, the ones who have never seen them, and there are many tricks.

Because of the economic development, Qingyang folk customs are also very open. Not to mention girls like them, even the daughter can go out shopping.

"Two girls, here." The little servant stopped the carriage.

Li Yingluo and Shen Xiu got out of the car one after the other, only to see the traffic in front of them, and countless men and women walking.

It is the pier street, the most lively street in Qingyang.

"It's really hilarious." Li Yingluo said with envy on her face.

Shen Xiu had to remind her, "Just go shopping." ”

The price of novelty goods from foreign countries is not ordinarily high. Don't talk about her, even Li Yingluo can only look at it.

Li Yingluo smiled and said, "I know." ”

It is in the nature of women to love shopping, and besides, even if they can't afford it now, it doesn't mean they can't afford it in the future.

"Those two girls are shopping, I'll wait for them here." The driver said.

Li Yingluo nodded, and told the little servant: "Let's go shopping, don't run away." ”

The little girl smiled and said: "Look at what the girl said, there is a fate to serve the girl, where do you dare to be careless." ”

"You don't dare." Li Yingluo said, and then said with a smile: "I won't let you run for nothing." ”

The car of the master in the house is not used by the people for personal use once or twice. It's nothing to take advantage of the master, but for the little guy who drives, it has to be more or less interesting, and it's not in vain.

"Then thank you first, girl." The little guy said with a smile.

The three of them separated, and Shen Xiu and Li Yingluo walked to the market arm in arm.

The shops are lined up, and the stalls on the street are almost blinding. The men and women walking on the side of the street, everything is bustling and lively.

"There must be new goods coming from Duobao Pavilion, let's hurry up and take a look." Li Yingluo was almost impatient to speak.

Duobao Pavilion is the largest department store in Qingyang, with more than a dozen storefronts up and down. There is only what you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't buy.

Shen Xiu said: "It's still early, let's take a look." ”

The value of the so-called foreign goods from the big ship, except for the one who ran with the ship, no one else knew at all.

Scarcity is expensive, and having the ability to sell one or two things for 10,000 taels is the ability. And the big shopkeeper of Duobao Pavilion is the one who has this ability.

If you want to pick up a leak in Duobao Pavilion, it's impossible to take a look at the stall, there are sailors who resell it privately, maybe you can also pick up a leak.

"Also, you have a good eye, the pendant you picked up last time, my grandfather said it could be sold for a lot of money." Li Yingluo said.

The daughter of the Shen family is well-informed, and her eyesight is naturally not bad.

Rather than being addicted, it is better to pick up the leaks in the stalls. I don't expect to make money by reselling, but it is also cost-effective to be able to buy good things.

The two of them had an idea, and instead of going to Duobao Pavilion, they focused on the roadside stalls.

The pier street is a spontaneous bazaar, and there are three grades.

The most upscale is naturally the kind of Duobao Pavilion, with a façade and a buddy. In addition to buying goods, guests can also enjoy super VIP treatment.

The second is the roadside stall, this kind of stall, although there is no façade. But it occupies a good position, and the stall is relatively large, and two guys will be hired to help watch.

And the most important is the land stall, with the burden peddling, a shot to change places, most of the way to tell the way of things, the quality is even more uneven, and often deceive customers.

But such a small stall, if you don't get it right, you will have good goods, and the risk and return are always proportional.

"Girl, girl, I have new good goods here, do you want to take a look."

As they were walking, a thief-headed boy stopped them, carrying a bag in his hand, which was the standard dress of a guerrilla stall.

Li Yingluo smiled and said, "It's better to have, otherwise I'm going to really mess up your stall." ”

The stall owner smiled and said, "Look at what the girl said, no one can lie to you." ”

With that, the stall owner led the two to the corner and opened the baggage. Although the burden doesn't seem big, there are a lot of things.

And most of them are delicate gadgets such as jewelry, which is also the reason why the stall owner will stop Li Yingluo and Shen Xiu, looking at their dress, at least they are also young ladies from rich and noble families, and they can afford to buy them.

"That's all, there's nothing special." Li Yingluo picked it up, with a little disappointment on her face.

Although everything is good, as the big girls of the Plains Hou Mansion, they have seen too much of the world. Although most of the things are unaffordable, at least they have been seen.

Shen Xiu noticed a white jade wrench and reached out to pick it up.

Although the workmanship is simple, it is very delicate, the texture is transparent, and there is not a trace of impurities. It is even warmer and delicate to the touch.

It's mutton fat and white jade, and there is such a thing in such a stall.

"The girl has good eyesight, this is a new product that has just arrived, and it only costs twenty taels of silver." The stall owner said.

Li Yingluo said: "You rob the money, twenty taels of silver, it's enough to eat for a year." You are such a broken finger, you don't even have a carving. ”

"With such good quality, twenty taels of silver is definitely a conscience price." The stall owner said.

Shen Xiu smiled and said, "Whether you have a conscience or not, you know best." I don't want to ask where things come from, five taels of silver, I'll take it now. ”

"Five taels is really too little......," said the stall owner, "I see that you are a knowledgeable person, such a good product, if you are in Duobao Pavilion, you can't buy a hundred taels of silver." ”

Shen Xiu said meaningfully: "This thing can't enter the Duobao Pavilion. ”

The stall owner's face changed suddenly, and he immediately said: "Since Miss is really buying it, five taels will be five taels." ”

"The stall owner is a man who understands." Shen Xiu said with a smile, took out five taels of silver from his purse and handed it to the stall owner.

However, Li Yingluo didn't react a little, and whispered: "What about the monthly money for five months." ”

"It's a good deal." Shen Xiu said, putting the wrench back in his purse.

This kind of colored mutton fat jade plate finger will never appear on this kind of stall.

The only possibility is that the thief is dirty. And it's not ordinary people who steal, this kind of hand-burning thing is in a hurry to ship.

Although the stall owner shipped the goods, his face was not happy, and he said, "Miss, you have made a lot of money in this business." ”

"Business, no matter what it is, the one who can make a move is the one who makes money. Whoever smashes it into his hand is a money-losing product. Shen Xiu said with a smile.

The stall owner smiled when he heard this, and said: "Miss's words are also transparent, such a beautiful woman, a few taels of silver for herself, and she doesn't feel distressed if she loses." ”

Shen Xiu smiled indifferently when she heard this, and said to Li Yingluo: "Let's go." ”

That night, in the dungeon of Yanwangfu.

In the gloomy dungeon, under the flickering lights, a beautiful boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, armed with a long whip, whipped the man hanging from a stake.

The kid with the thief head and the thief brain is the stall owner in the morning.

"It's not a long-sighted thing, and it's stolen from the master." The beautiful young man scolded angrily, waved his long whip, and hit the stall owner directly.

Whip after whip, hard and accurate.

The stall owner was beaten with his skin and flesh open, and his injuries were visible to his bones, and he didn't even have the strength to scream.

"Haven't you asked yet?" A cold voice came from the staircase.

In the dim light, I couldn't see the faces of the comers, only the figures of the people, and the old man who was pulled.

"I'm going to ask." The beautiful young man said, his tone was anxious, "Uncle, I won't lose my wrench." ”

The wrench was given by my uncle, and when I went out, I was stolen by two thieves.

The person has been caught, but the wrench has already been shot, and he can't ask why.

It's annoying, it's even more hateful.

Things are not worth anything, but they can't even keep a wrench, what's the use of him, what can he do!!

The visitor stood on the steps, with a long figure, with a hint of coldness, "You......"

"Say, who the hell did you sell things to!!" The beautiful young man's tone was fierce, and the whip in his hand was even harder.

The stall owner was speechless, and he knew that whether he said it or not, he was doomed this time.

"Don't say it yet." The beautiful teenager was almost hysterical.

Thinking of his uncle standing on the steps, his contemptuous gaze was like a knife, almost scraping him alive.

"If you can't ask, why waste your energy." The cold voice sounded again, "Throw it into the sea to feed the fish." ”
