746. What a big pearl of the night

"This young master, please come to the house, I don't know what kind of treasure you want to be?" The young man said with a flattering expression.

It was the first time Wu Feng had grown so big and came to the pawnshop to make things, and he didn't know the rules here, so he directly put his hand into his arms, took out the fluorescent stone the size of a goose egg, shook it in front of the pawnshop guy, and said, "Oh, I'll just treat it as this thing, I don't know how much silver it can be?" ”

The pawnshop's eyes lit up, looking at the fluorescent stone in Wu Feng's hand, his eyes were green, he had seen many people who came to be things, and he had seen countless treasures, but he felt that the thing in Wu Feng's hand was definitely an extraordinary treasure, but he couldn't figure out what it was, so his expression changed, and he became more respectful, he said in a trembling voice: "This little master, you come with me to Chaofeng, the villain is just a little guy, I don't know the treasure in your hand, or let Chaofeng give you an estimate." ”

Wu Feng nodded, and followed the guy to the counter of the pawnshop, in front of which sat an old man of fifty or sixty years old, with a lock of gray beard under his lips, and a very shrewd appearance, this person was the pawnshop's "courtier".

The person who estimates the pawn items from the pawnshop is called "pilgrimage". Some people come to the pawnshop to pawn, and the courtier evaluates the items brought by the guests. Therefore, he must understand the market and judge how much it is worth, and generally pawn items are only given one to three percent of the price. For example, if this item is estimated at 100 taels of silver, the money he should give you is only between 10 and 30 taels, but the difference between the first and third floors depends on whether the item is popular and whether it is easy to get rid of. The price is "fixed price" by the court, and it cannot be bargained. There is a time limit for pawnshops to issue pawn tickets. This term is negotiable between the host and the guest. Once the pawnshop issues a pawn ticket, the guest will not redeem it when it expires. The money taken by the owner does not have to be returned, and the goods belong to the pawnshop. It's called "not dangling". If the owner of the goods comes to pick up the pawn ticket on time, he must return the money and pay an interest. This interest rate is set by the pawnshop, which is naturally higher than the bank interest, and some pawnshops have more stringent conditions. Interest is deducted upfront at the time of pawn payment. In this way, if the owner of the goods comes to redeem the goods in advance, the interest will not be refunded. If the goods are "not right". It turns out that the principal and interest are not paid. In this way, the interest has been collected in advance. Anyone who lives by pawning has no money and no power. It is a matter of course to be slaughtered. Therefore, the pilgrimage in the pawnshop always puts on a condescending posture, and the image in people's minds is always not very good. If a person who has been a pilgrim loses his job and takes on other jobs, the boss or employer will often not hire him. Therefore, the people of Shaoxing call the pawnshop's worship "night pot". It's tin. Chamber pot. In the old days, there was a urinal under the man's bed that he used to urinate in the middle of the night. The urinal is made of porcelain and tin, and this tin is made of night pot. After it melts, it can no longer be used as a flask candle holder. Otherwise, you will be struck by five thunderbolts from the sky. Compare the pilgrimage to a night pot that no longer makes anything else.

"What are you going to be?" That Chao Feng glanced at Wu Feng and said lukewarmly, obviously not taking Wu Feng in his eyes.

Wu Feng didn't answer, and put the goose egg-sized glow-in-the-dark stone in his hand on the counter.

As soon as he saw this luminous stone, Na Chaofeng's eyes suddenly lit up, and he almost fell to the ground from the stool in shock, and the boss with his mouth open, muttered to himself: "Night...... Pearl of the Night...... What a big pearl of the night! ”
