Chapter 35: Into the City Again
"It's a pity that your brother's hard-earned tiger skin was sold!" Lu Caiqing said reluctantly.
"So what do you say? I listen to you, daughter-in-law. Song Ziyu also felt sorry for the second brother who sold it like this, so he simply handed over the decision to Lu Caiqing.
Cai Qing looked around, and suddenly saw a very large store next to the street, with a big black word "dang" written on it, and thought about it, this thing is idle at home, it is better to put it here to make money.
So he opened his mouth and said, "Brother Song! Do you know what it does here? ”
Song Ziyu had been staying in the mountains, and he didn't know much about the things outside, let alone read and write, so he shook his head.
Lu Caiqing thought about it, it seemed that he was the only one who came forward, if he was suspicious of himself, it would be good to lie casually.
So she smiled and said, "I know that I have a way to make money from the tiger skin, and I can redeem it." ”
"Really? Daughter-in-law, are you really sure that his family will give us money? Song Ziyu said with wide eyes.
Lu Caiqing pulled Song Ziyu and said, "Let's go!" I have seen Uncle Chen go in to the city, when the things can be sold for money, and if you have money, you can buy it back, we now have tiger skins in our hands, we have the final say, if he can't redeem it, we won't sell it. ”
"There is also this kind of place, that daughter-in-law, you have the final say, if someone bullies you, I will protect you." Song Ziyu felt that he only had this brute force to help his little daughter-in-law.
Cai Qing nodded, the two walked in, raised their eyes and saw that it was really similar to the situation in the TV series, as soon as they entered the door, they saw that the house was particularly spacious, the whole room was divided into two parts, the high counter was horizontal in front of the eyes, there was a half-crescent-shaped mouth on the counter, and a table and chair were placed outside by the window.
I heard someone shouting inside: "Ordinary silver hairpins are worth ten cents!" ”
Song Ziyu blocked Lu Caiqing behind him and said, "Daughter-in-law! Let's go! A silver hairpin is only ten yuan, and if you buy it outside, it will cost one or two silver? ”
Lu Caiqing listened and said, "Brother Song! That's it here, if you think about who will come to this kind of place, they are all anxious to use money to be a thing, of course, people do business to keep the price to the lowest, you and I want to be too low to not sell. ”
"So that's the case, then shouldn't our things be like this, then isn't the owner of this pawnshop making black money?"
"Brother Song! Don't talk nonsense here, people are afraid that they won't take our business when they hear it, they have a lot of things here, I don't understand, in short, if it's not cost-effective, we shouldn't do it. ”
Song Ziyu nodded, he carefully examined his daughter-in-law for the first time, it turned out that she knew so much, she didn't know anything about the world outside the mountains, and even if she wanted to buy a field and land, she didn't know it, if she had a field in the future, she would have to deal with people, she was not good at these, it seemed that she had to catch up with her daughter-in-law, and she couldn't fall behind her own woman. Thinking of this, he paid attention to everywhere and watched how others behaved and did their own things.
Lu Caiqing and Song Ziyu were dressed inconspicuously, and no one paid attention to them after coming for a long time, Lu Caiqing only got the front desk to pull his feet and asked: "We have a rare tiger skin in the mountains in our hands, can you accept it?" ”
The work inside looked at Cai Qing, and then looked at Song Ziyu behind him, as soon as he saw the woman talking when he went out, he saw that this woman was not simple, she could be on the counter alone, she must be a person with a wise eye, he listened to the tiger skin in the mountain that was a rare thing, and felt full of smiling faces and said: "Collect!" Did you bring something? ”
Song Ziyu was about to hand it over, but Lu Caiqing waved his hand and said, "Brother Song!" Don't worry, everything is up to me. Song Ziyu nodded and hugged the thing tightly in his arms.
"We brought the things, but I've been walking for a long time and I'm a little thirsty!" Lu Caiqing wasn't really thirsty, but he really didn't speak through this tall cabinet.
As soon as he saw the work inside, he knew what was going on, and immediately said to Cai Qing: "Wait a minute, I'll take you two to the back hall, and let's talk slowly." ”
After speaking, he closed the mouth, explaining that he wanted to receive Caiqing and the two, and invited them to the back hall living room, Lu Caiqing was not much interested in other people's decorations, and when he didn't say it properly, he still had to sell embroidery, and he was in a hurry, so he saw the young man opposite and asked directly: "How do you count this pawn?" ”
The young man saw her go straight in, so he no longer replied politely: "As far as your things are concerned, there are two kinds, one is death, that is, we estimate the price of this tiger skin, if you agree, we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." The other is to live, we estimate a price, the thing is suppressed in our hall, the current period is six months or twelve months, to redeem a certain amount of interest, if you do not come to redeem when due, the thing will belong to our pawnshop. But first I'm going to look at the value of the tiger skin. ”
Lu Caiqing then motioned to Song Ziyu to put things on the table, and the young man hurriedly took away the tea set, vacated the table, opened the baggage, and spread the tiger skin on the table.
The young man smelled the smell, touched the fur again, and his face did not leak any expression, he stood still for a while, and suddenly said: "Wait a minute, you two, I can't be the master of this tiger skin, I will go to my shopkeeper to estimate the price for you, and you can discuss anything with him." ”
After speaking, he hurriedly walked out, and after a while, he accompanied an elderly man in, the housekeeper looked about sixty years old, wearing a gray robe, the material was very fine, and there was a chain in his arms.
This dynasty is a bit like the Qing Dynasty, but what I heard was called Great Wei, and there were Wei, Shu and Wu in history, but it was obviously not, and it was estimated that it was an era without records.
It is estimated that the pawnshop can receive any strange thing, and the pocket watch should be sold by a foreigner or someone from the Great Wei Dynasty, anyway, he has nothing to do with them, what do you do with other people's pocket watches.
"Who is coming to alarm me, this hour, I just wanted to meet, you really don't let me worry." Shopkeeper Liu hummed and chirped and complained to the young man.
"Just take a look, and you're guaranteed to be pleasantly surprised." The young man nodded and said.
"Is this the tiger skin? Nothing special! It's just bigger, you just have to look at it yourself and estimate it, you have to let me come! ”
The young man leaned to the root of his ear and said a few words, and then Shopkeeper Liu looked at Lu Caiqing opposite in surprise, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
