Chapter 11 The Twelve Earthly Branches Glass Beads

As Li Mude reached into the package, everyone present looked at the package with his movements, wanting to take a look at the rare things from the Bolai country in the package. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

I saw the light appear, and the golden light shone brightly, illuminating the entire hall as if it were day.

It's like there's a treasure.

Okay, these modifiers are a bit exaggerated, but Li Mu took it out of the package, a glass bead the size of an adult's fist.

Under the sunlight, it is still a little colorful.

Seeing the glass beads that Li Mu took out, everyone present was dumbfounded, and their two eyes stared at the glass beads in Li Mu's hand.

Even Li Zhi is no exception.

"Is this something from the Heavenly Palace?"

"Could it be that the dragon that Mu Gongzi met absorbs water, and it is the dragon king who wants to give him a gift?"

"What beautiful beads."

"This is glass, not amber?" Shopkeeper Liu, who was closest to the first place, squinted at the glass bead in Li Mu's hand, and the reason why he said this was entirely because there was a small mouse in this bead.

"It's up to the old gentleman to decide." Li Mu didn't expect this zodiac bead, and what he took out turned out was a bead with a mouse in it.

"I don't dare to assert it, let's let the shopkeeper Zhang appreciate it." Knowing that the objects in Li Mu's hands were valuable, Shopkeeper Liu shook his head, and still gave this task to the most authoritative shopkeeper among them.

"Brother Zhang, please estimate the price." Li Mu saw that the old gentleman didn't dare to take the glass beads in his hand, and he was not hypocritical, and said directly to the stunned shopkeeper Zhang.

"Ahh Shopkeeper Zhang was frightened, slowly moved forward, trembling and took the glass beads in Li Mu's hand, Li Mu gave it casually, but Shopkeeper Zhang's heart trembled.

"Secretly, I knew that I wouldn't have come out of this."

The shopkeeper Zhang, who was trembling in his hand, checked it, and nodded at the people present, "That's right, it's indeed glass beads, not amber." ”

After hearing that the chubby shopkeeper Zhang was confirmed, Li Xuan continued.

"This is according to the mythological tradition of our Central Plains, the glass beads made in the Bolai country, called the Twelve Heavenly Dry Zodiac Glass Beads, this is a rat bead, that is, it represents the child rat in the zodiac."

After listening to Li Mu's introduction, everyone was obsessed with looking at the glass mouse beads in the hands of the shopkeeper Zhang, looking at the round sphere, the transparent glass can refract the sunlight.

The little mouse in the glass beads is cute and cute, and it is not as disgusting as the real mouse at all.

"That's the specific situation, I wonder if Brother Zhang can estimate the price of my glass mouse beads?"

"Priceless, priceless." The big shopkeeper holding the beads blurted out.

After finishing speaking, Zhang Da shopkeeper found that there were cold eyes around him, and he didn't turn the corner for a while, and he instantly understood why these shopkeepers looked at him with cold eyes.

Because at this time, the other shopkeepers have reverted to their true colors, that is, chasing profits, after all, this thing is to be sold to them.

Of course, they want it to be as low as possible.

It's just that they didn't expect that they met a real pit teammate, a pig teammate.

As they here, the shopkeeper Zhang, who has the most say in jewelry, has said that it is priceless, and it is difficult for them to lower the price.

Although these shopkeepers were unhappy, Li Mu's heart was smiling, this chubby shopkeeper Zhang was definitely his mascot.

God-like assists.

With his words, the basic price of this thing is not low, but it is a priceless treasure and not a good thing, because priceless proves worthless from the side.

So now Li Mu needs to give his beads a price.

"Thank you for the shopkeeper's love, this bead is not priceless in value, after all, everything has a price."

"yes, yes, I was abrupt." Li Mu gave the steps, and the shopkeeper came down quickly, and gave Li Mu a grateful look.

"It's better to do this, I like gold, so you might as well trade it with gold." For currencies that use gold to make transactions.

It is a method that Li Mu has thought about for a long time, gold is not the mainstream currency in Datang, and these rich families will inevitably hide a large amount of gold.

After all, if Li Mu didn't think about it wrong in this era, the mainstream currency is copper money, followed by silver, and then gold.

Although gold is the most valuable of these three currencies, it is precisely its preciousness that is not very easy to circulate in Datang and cannot be consumed by ordinary people.

It can only be used for settlement between the powerful, and for the powerful, this cannot be used in the people, but can only be used as a family collection or for the creation of gold jewelry.

And for Li Mu, it's not like that, if Li Mu exchanges these glass beads for gold, then it is the best precious metal in modern times.

It's better than those antique calligraphy and paintings.

After all, gold can be sold in a gold store, and antique calligraphy and paintings need time to be auctioned.

All things considered, it is more convenient to come to gold.

Sure enough, after Li Mu finished speaking, all the businessmen present agreed one after another.

For them, gold is basically of little use in their hands, because there is no other use except for some gold ornaments.

"Then let's give me a price."

"Mu Gongzi, the old decay is five hundred taels of gold." Shopkeeper Liu took the lead in bidding, and in his opinion, this thing, whether it is left at home for family heirlooms or sold, is a huge profit.

"Shopkeeper Liu, Shopkeeper Zhang said that it is priceless, is five hundred taels too cheap, I will pay six hundred taels." Scholar Lu shook his head and retorted.

"Hehe, Mu Gongzi, I'll give you a thousand taels." The shopkeeper Zhang next to him who had just said the wrong thing said loudly.

For the shopkeeper Zhang, who opened a jewelry store, gold was used as the currency to buy this glass mouse bead.

It's like waking up with a smile when you fall asleep, and gold in Datang is useless at all, that is, it is used to create gold jewelry, and you have to report to the court to create gold jewelry.

The procedures are very cumbersome, and it is not as cost-effective as exchanging gold for this rare glass mouse bead.

If it weren't for the sake of the store's business, Shopkeeper Zhang would not have piled up a large amount of gold at home.

Hearing the quotation of the shopkeeper, everyone didn't say anything, after all, everyone knew that this guy was in the jewelry business, and gold was also a big business in the jewelry industry, and there must be much more gold at home than one of them.

The first rat bead will not be earned by the shopkeeper, after all, since it is the number of heavenly stems, there must be another eleven heavenly stems.

Li Mu looked at the shopkeeper Zhang and gave out a thousand taels of gold, no one was willing to bid anymore, they all looked at the air in front of them silently, and even the shopkeeper Liu, who was the first to bid, was also closing his eyes and recuperating at one time.

"Since everyone doesn't bid, then there is a shopkeeper in charge of this glass rat bead that is the first in the sky."

After Li Mu finished speaking, the shopkeeper Zhang immediately jumped up from his seat like a kangaroo, ran to Li Mu's approach, took the glass mouse beads in Li Mu's hand, and looked at the mouse beads in his hand obsessively with two eyes.

"Shepherd is really sorry, to win people's love, can't help it, can't stop it." Appreciating the glass mouse beads, Zhang Shopkeeper smiled apologetically like Li Mu.

"Where, the baby has virtue, but the kid needs some worldly things." Li Mu looked at this mascot with a smile.
