Chapter 19 A New Beginning Begins with the Search for a Pawnshop

With the rapid economic development of Jingling City in the past ten years, the city center has shifted to the west, and the original eastern city center has gradually become an old city.

Cramped streets alternate with long alleys.

The sycamore cypress, the sunset is dusk, and the whole city is shrouded in a blue-gray color.

When Li Yue came to the old city, it was already two days later in the evening.

The little spirit seed is still asleep, and he can't wake up no matter how he calls it.

In the past two days, Li Yue has traveled to many places in the city.

He felt the strange stares of the people.

I have also seen countless new things that have never been seen before.

But he never found the trace of the ghost he was looking for.

It seems that since more than eighty years ago, the host of the system and those in power in the secular world have begun to cover up the fission phenomenon.

And gradually sorted out a complete set of mechanisms and systems, and established a solid barrier between the secular and the underworld.

So much so that the revival of aura and ghosts, the birth of systems and aliens, have not left too many traces in the world of ordinary people.

However, Li Yue knew that this was because the fission had been accumulating and had not really begun to erupt.

Wait until the day it erupts, and then try to cover it up, unless there is a nationwide memory cleansing.

Just like he did during the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, not far in front of Li Yue, there was a row of shops along the street.

There are almost no people on the streets, and there are many shops.

The shop around the corner is not large, but it is the most vibrant in comparison.

"Here it is. ”

Li Yue glanced at the word "dang" on the door number of the shop and strode over.

For two days, he had trekked through most of the city, always looking for such a pawnshop.

"Freshly baked biscuits, boy, are you coming?"

Not far away, there was a mobile baked cake stall, and an old lady dressed plainly greeted Li Yue.

Seeing Li Yue dressed as an ancient, the old lady's eyes were strange.

Li Yue's eyes fell on the baked cake stall and secretly swallowed his saliva.

During the Tang Dynasty, there were many staple foods, but cakes accounted for most of them.

There are many types of steamed cakes, pancakes, hu cakes, cut cakes, baked cakes, soup cakes, etc.

From the royal family and nobles, down to the common people, all of them like it, and Li Yue is no exception.

The most important thing is that he hasn't eaten since he separated from Lin Manqing.

Seeing that Li Yue's heart was moving, the old lady became more and more enthusiastic.

"No, you don't. Li Yue said.

The old lady was stunned, as if she understood something, smiled and picked up two baked cakes, and walked towards Li Yue.

Her legs were a little difficult and she walked very slowly.

"The one who gave you first cushioned the hunger. After selling this last furnace, I also closed the stall. The old woman couldn't help but say something, and stuffed the baked cake into Li Yue's arms.

"I'm embarrassed to ask my parents for all the money, right? Kid, it's not easy for adults to make money, so I'll play less of these weird things in the future. ”

The old lady glanced at Li Yue's ancient costume and said with a smile.

She wanted to talk about cosplay, but she couldn't describe it.

Li Yue wanted to refuse, but his eyes fell on the old lady with a gentle and kind face, and his heart moved, and he nodded slightly.

[Kindness +20 from Li Xiaocui, Kindness 20]

Li Yue walked into the pawnshop.

The pawnshop is divided into two areas, one with a glass window counter and the other with a glass compartment.

Behind the glass-window counter, two guys crackled and clicked on calculators.

Through the glass window, you can see some pawned items.

There are modern amenities such as televisions, refrigerators, motorcycles, etc.

There are also some old objects, such as the old record player from the old Hudu era, which is playing the songs of the old Hudu.

On the other side, in the transparent glass compartment, there are antiques.

At this time, there were already two guests in the glass compartment.

A man and a woman, the man is young and tall, dressed in luxury brands, and the woman is young and beautiful, carrying a Chanel bag.

Next to them, a man in a tunic with a fortune was making an introduction.

When Li Yue walked into the pawnshop, the three of them turned their heads at the same time.

The young man had a strange expression and frowned slightly.

The young woman was a little surprised, and seemed to think that Li Yue was dressed very funny, and couldn't help laughing.

The chubby man in a tunic swept over Li Yue, his eyebrows were inadvertently raised, his eyes fell on the accessories on Li Yue's waist, and a gleam flashed under his eyes, which quickly returned to calm.

"The two of them looked first, and greeted the guests with contempt. The man in the tunic smiled and confessed.

The young man frowned: "Boss Liu, is there really nothing good here?" I have been famous for your shop for a long time, don't let me run for nothing." ”

"What good can a little pawnshop do. Second brother, you have to come all the way here. The young woman grumbled.

"You don't understand, this is a pawnshop on the surface, but in fact it is a ...... of the Jingling black market"

Before the young man finished speaking, he was interrupted by the man in the tunic with a smile: "Qi Gongzi is cautious." Hehe, the two of them look at it first, and the contemptible people will come when they go. ”

After speaking, the man in the tunic pushed open the glass door and limped towards Li Yue.

"There's something wrong with this cripple, right? Knowing who we are, I don't want to stammer, so I just entertain a kid who plays cosplay. The young woman said displeased.

The young man said thoughtfully: "This Boss Liu, known as the smiling fox, is also an expert in the Jingling black market, his eyes are so poisonous that even his grandmother has mentioned him." ”

"What does the second brother mean, that young man is not simple?"

The young woman glanced through the glass door, shook her head and sneered: "The second brother thinks too much, a poor boy who can only afford to eat baked cakes, and he will come to the pawnshop when he is desperate." ”

In the lobby of the pawnshop, the man in the tunic greeted Li Yue with a smile: "I'm slacking, the contemptible surname is Liu, I don't know what you want to pawn?"

Li Yue glanced at the middle-aged fat man with a slightly feminine temperament and asked, "What can you pawn here?"

"Hehe, household appliances, cars and motorcycles, cultural antiques, as long as it is valuable, Liu will accept it. Boss Liu said with a smile.

Li Yue nodded slightly and looked towards the glass compartment.

Seeing this, Boss Liu sneered in his heart.

From the moment Li Yue walked into the pawnshop, he began to observe secretly.

The young man's calm posture was very disproportionate to his age, and it was obvious that he was deliberately pretending to be calm.

After entering, the young man's eyes clearly revealed curiosity, and he looked like a rookie.

However, he had a high-quality Hetian ancient jade tied around his waist.

It is clearly a fat sheep sent to the door to be slaughtered.

Boss Liu quickly made a judgment in his heart, and his eyes narrowed slightly, like a fat fox.

[Malicious +15 from Liu Jianzhou, malicious value 15]

Li Yue didn't speak for a long time.

Boss Liu was not in a hurry, and said tepidly: "You can find me, it can be regarded as fate." Our credibility is first-class in the entire Jingling City and even Jiangnan Province, just receive the goods, regardless of the origin. Of course, our prices are also the fairest. ”

"How much is my jade pendant worth?" asked Li Yue.

Boss Liu didn't expect the young man to be so impatient, and he was overjoyed, but he didn't show his face.

"The workmanship of this jade seems exquisite, but the traces of machine polishing are too obvious, and the texture is not top-notch, but it is not bad. ”

Boss Liu pondered for a moment, and mysteriously stretched out two fingers: "Count you two thousand." ”

[Kindness +10 from Liu Jianzhou, Kindness 10]

"Two thousand, a Jianren electric car?"

The corners of Li Yue's mouth turned up slightly, as if he was smiling.

In the past two days, he has crossed half of the city of Jingling.

Along the way, he has gathered a lot of information based on what he hears and sees.

The bustling metropolis of the 21st century formed a rough outline in his mind.

For example, through the discussion of prices in the shopping mall, the prices of daily necessities in the 21st century are compared with those of previous generations, and then different products are referred to in turn.

In just half an hour, more than 2,000 different commodities and their prices were memorized, listed, and compared in his mind, and quickly integrated into the purchasing power of money in later generations.

How could this rare antique jade pendant from the Tang Dynasty be worth 2,000 yuan?

However, what made Li Yue feel interesting was that this strange-looking pawnshop owner was obviously doing a black-hearted business, but he still gave birth to a 10-point goodwill value.

Could it be that he is sympathetic and pity for the guests who have been pitted by him?
