Chapter 16: The Golden Jade Place
There was a middle-aged man at the counter in front, and the middle-aged man was holding the broken bracelet in his hand and frowning, and his face was not very good-looking.
On the other two sides stood a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old and a girl of fifteen or sixteen, who also seemed to have some anger on their faces, which seemed to be related to the person who had just left.
Seeing Xia Zining and Wang Tieshan coming, several people didn't pay much attention to it, and they were immersed in the unhappiness in their hearts.
Xia Zining looked at the jewelry placed on the counter, and saw the middle-aged man at the front from the end, which was naturally the existence with the highest price and quality.
The jewelry here has gold, jadeite, jade pendants, jade bracelets, etc., as well as some gemstones of various colors.
"All the popular jewelry is here?" Xia Zining looked at the middle-aged man with a faint smile after looking at the whole scene, and looked confident so that the middle-aged man who has been dealing with various customers all year round did not dare to underestimate it.
"Is this girl not interested in the jewelry in the store?" The middle-aged man looked at Xia Zining and said quietly.
"There are two good things, but the design is pretty ordinary." Xia Zining smiled.
"Hmph, it's less pretended, don't make so many excuses if you can't afford it." The young girl on the side was displeased and said politely.
Wang Tieshan's face was embarrassed, neither advancing nor retreating.
"Ye'er, shut up." The middle-aged man's face sank and shouted seriously, the young woman snorted and didn't dare to say anything more, but her face was still quite unconvinced, but the young man next to her didn't have any extra emotions on his face, and he didn't look down on Xia Zining's ridicule in his eyes.
"Hehe, I'm not here to buy jewelry, I originally just came to see the design style of the jewelry here, and now I want to talk to the shopkeeper in your store about the transaction." Xia Zining didn't take it to heart, and was so confident that she said her intentions lightly.
"Here's the shopkeeper here, I don't know what deal the girl wants to say?" A shrewd light flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, and he asked quietly, this little girl is so young, she can talk about things with herself so calmly and confidently, how can an ordinary girl's daughter be so calm?
"It's better for the shopkeeper to bring a piece of paper and a pen, and it's better not to have a brush." Xia Zining unceremoniously sat down on the stool in front of the middle-aged man where the guest chose jewelry, and asked, motioning for Wang Tieshan to sit on another stool.
The middle-aged man looked at her seriously and smiled faintly, "Since the little girl is so confident, then I expect the girl to come up with the ability to make me think it is worth trading." “
Xia Zining raised her eyebrows and didn't say much, and her confidence naturally flowed throughout her body.
Wang Tieshan's heart was about to be raised, but he had to admire Xia Zining for being so bold at such a young age.
The young male and female clerks in the store didn't say anything, and the female clerks still didn't look convinced.
It's still early at this time, except for the shops that sell breakfast on the street, all kinds of shops on the street have only been open for a while, so there are no customers, and there are only two customers in this jewelry store at the moment: Xia Zining and Wang Tieshan.
Xia Zining took the white paper and pen, and was surprised in her heart, she didn't expect to see a pencil here, and the paper in her hand was obviously better than the paper on which Wang Qianhe wrote the medicine list.
It seems that the paper and pens of this era here appeared earlier than I expected, just looking at the clothes of the people shopping in the town, Xia Zining breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it is not as she thought, and she has just come out of the primitive era of 'cave for home, grass weaving for clothes'.
Xia Zining suppressed a trace of curiosity, picked up the pen and began to scratch on the white paper.
The two young men and women were curious when they saw Xia Zining drawing and writing on the paper, so they walked towards the middle-aged man.
It only took ten minutes for Xia Zining to complete a necklace with a pendant, a noble, elegant and fashionable shape, which attracted the attention of middle-aged men and young men and girls around her at first sight.
"Shopkeeper, look at this design, it has a name called 'Light of the Stars', which means that all wishes come true, dreams shine, and happiness comes! If the shopkeeper is interested, you can show it to your owner, and if you are interested, we can talk about the transaction. Xia Zining showed the painting to the shopkeeper, and saw the work up close and head-on, the shopkeeper's eyes were shining, and the light flashed, and he could see at first glance that the design of this work was a hundred times more beautiful than all the jewelry designs in the store, attracting people's attention, and he couldn't help but admire a big man when he saw it, not to mention a woman, and the charm of this jewelry is also attractive enough.
"Girl, is this really your design?" The shopkeeper's eyes left the paper, staring at her solemnly.
The young men and women standing next to the shopkeeper were amazed when they saw the design of the jewelry, and they forgot all the unpleasantness just now.
"It's like a fake." Xia Zining said with a faint smile.
"Girl, don't hide it, in the past two days, our owner happened to come over to inspect the business of the store here, and people were resting in the backyard, you don't dare to promise you anything directly, why don't you let the old man take this design to my owner and then answer you, what do you think?" The shopkeeper looked at Xia Zining seriously and discussed, if this design drawing was really designed by this little girl, then he couldn't underestimate her with this design talent alone.
In fact, the shopkeeper has already believed Xia Zining's words, and has seen the painting design she is familiar with, and if it is not designed by herself, she also looks at this design practice painting for a while, and only then can she have such a familiar brushwork and true clarity of painting.
Xia Zining nodded, "Okay, then it's troublesome for the shopkeeper to run." “
"The little girl is gracious." Shopkeeper Liu said politely, and then looked at the men and women around him, "Feng'er looks at the store, Ye'er goes to make tea to greet the two distinguished guests." “
"Yes, Dad." Two young men and women were obedient.
Shopkeeper Liu nodded to Xia Zining and left from the staff door of the store.
The girl from Ye'er also turned to leave, and there was no dissatisfaction or disbelief on her face at this time, but she looked at Xia Zining with surprise and admiration in her eyes, which made Xia Zining want to laugh in her heart, it seems that this girl is not an unreasonable and delicate master.
"Two guests, please come with me to the private seat here and wait." The rest of the young man spoke up politely at this time, and took Xia Zining and the two to the seat behind a bead curtain on the right to wait, Xia Zining also sat on the stool unceremoniously, and pulled Wang Tieshan, who was still in a daze, and motioned for him to sit on the stool next to him, and a small table between the two stools was for tea quilts and snacks.
This waiting private room is 30 square meters, with several chairs and tea tables, two huge potted plants placed on both sides of the bead curtain, and a pair of ink paintings hanging on the front wall, which is elegant and generous.
Soon, Ye Zi came over with a saucer with two cups of tea and a plate of snacks on it.
