A pawnshop, as the name suggests, is a shop that pawns things. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Pawnshops have been around since ancient times.

In the period of the Republic of China, pawnshops were basically linked to money banks and banks, and developed a loan business, which was basically equivalent to usury, with monthly interest, and if it could not be repaid within the time limit, it would be converted into a dead pawn, and things belonged to the pawnshop.

There are two pawnshops in the town, and Wen Cai brought him to the smaller one, probably because Uncle Nine helped the owner of this pawnshop do magic last month, so he met.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw Wencai, he politely stepped forward and asked, "Brother Wencai, why do you have time to come to my pawnshop today?"

"Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace...... Wen Cai said as he learned the words in the play, "This is my master's new apprentice Fang Haoran, I want to be something, don't you kill pigs!"

"Don't dare, don't dare!" the shopkeeper said with a smile, "Since I am a senior apprentice of Uncle Jiu, I will definitely give a fair price!"

Fang Haoran nodded, took off the watch on his wrist, handed it to the other party, and said: "This watch was brought back from the United States, how much can you see?" Of course, this watch can't be an American product, but it is actually an imitation he bought on Taobao in his previous life, but after all, it is a product of the 21st century, with beautiful shapes and excellent materials, plus the English on it, no one can recognize it if it is an American product, at least in terms of quality, it is many times stronger than the current Western watch.

Sure enough, I heard that it was a foreign product, and the shopkeeper's eyes lit up slightly.

He checked it carefully, and he didn't know if he saw the reason, anyway, there must be foreign goods on it, and the shape is so exquisite, China can't make such a good thing!

The shopkeeper asked, "I don't know if Brother Fang plans to live or die?"

"Die!" Fang Haoran was very simple, this watch was an object from his previous life, and now it is useless to him, it is better to die for more money.

"If you die, you can't redeem it!" The shopkeeper was slightly surprised, he didn't expect Fang Haoran to be willing to kill such a good watch, but the joy in the depths of his eyes did not escape Fang Haoran's eyes.

"Die, boss, just say how much money you can give!"

The shopkeeper pondered for a while and said, "For the sake of you being Uncle Jiu's apprentice and we are all acquaintances, how about a hundred oceans?"

"A hundred oceans?" Wen Cai exclaimed. According to the current prices, one ocean can buy one stone of rice, and one hundred oceans can buy more than 12,000 catties of rice. You must know that Uncle Nine's income from doing a ritual for others is one or two oceans, and a hundred oceans is almost equivalent to Uncle Nine's income for a year, so how can he not be surprised.

Seeing Wen Cai's surprised expression, the shopkeeper smiled proudly, but then he became stunned.

I saw that Fang Haoran was not moved at all by the hundred oceans, grabbed the watch on the table and turned to leave, and said as he walked: "Since the shopkeeper is so insincere, then I'll go to another house to have a look." In fact, he has no concept of a hundred oceans, and he doesn't know the value of watches during the Republic of China, but he at least knows that no businessman will offer his own bottom line price for the first time, and he believes that this is not the bottom line of the other party.

Sure enough, seeing that he was leaving, the shopkeeper was shocked, and stopped him in a hurry, saying, "Brother Fang, don't be in a hurry to leave, if you are not satisfied with the price, we can talk slowly, why don't I add another twenty oceans?"

Fang Haoran laughed secretly in his heart, adding twenty oceans so easily, which shows that one hundred and twenty oceans is far from the bottom line of the other party.

He sat back and said in a deep voice: "Shopkeeper, it's very boring to increase the price again and again, let's open the skylight and say something, two hundred oceans, if you want to take it, or I'll go to another house!"

The shopkeeper showed a wry smile on his face, and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Fang, I only spent a hundred oceans for a pocket watch last month, and you will need two hundred oceans, which is too much!"

Fang Haoran sneered: "How can the pocket watch you received be compared to my watch, my watch is the latest product of the American Phelps Company, and there are only a few dozen pieces in the world, if I wasn't in a hurry to buy a meeting gift for my master, do you think I would be willing to take it?"

At this time, Wen Cai came back to his senses and said: "Yes, Haoran came back from studying in the United States, and the robbers were robbed of their wallets on the way, and in a few days, the people of his family will have money when they return to the provincial capital!"

Seeing that the other party was still hesitant, Fang Haoran knew that he had to add another fire. He reached for the teapot on the table and tossed his watch in.

"Huh...... Brother Fang!" "Haoran, how can you throw such a good watch into the water, isn't this ruined?" The shopkeeper and Wencai were shocked.

Fang Haoran was not in a hurry, took the watch and stirred it in the teapot, took it out and dried it with a cloth, then threw it in front of the shopkeeper according to the luminous amount, and said: "Look at it, my watch can be waterproof, and it also has luminous light, whose watch have you ever seen compare?"

The shopkeeper carefully picked it up and looked at it, the watch was really ticking and turning normally, and the circle of jade-like things inside the watch emitted a green night light, like a night pearl. He is not an uninformed person, and he has seen many kinds of watches, pocket watches, etc., but he has never seen a watch that can be waterproof and can emit luminescence.

In this way, Fang Haoran just said that there are only a few dozen watches in the world, and he also believes it.

A few minutes later, Fang Haoran walked out of the pawnshop with two hundred pieces of ocean and Wencai. Wen Cai looked like a dream, he didn't expect Fang Haoran to earn two hundred yuan so casually. But what surprised him even more was that Fang Haoran was willing to be such a good watch, shouldn't this kind of treasure be kept as an heirloom?

Fang Haoran was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Wencai, let's go, I'll invite you to coffee!"

"Coffee, didn't you say you invited me to drink Western tea?" Wen Cai said strangely.

Fang Haoran remembered that Wen Cai had never drunk coffee and didn't know that the Western tea he was talking about was coffee, so he immediately laughed and said, "Coffee is coffee, that is, the Western tea you said." ”

"Yes, yes. Then I'll call Qiusheng, his aunt's rouge shop is in front!" Wen Cai said happily.

A few minutes later, Fang Haoran saw his second senior brother Qiusheng, who was tall and talented, no wonder the female ghost in the movie fell in love with him.

The three of them entered the Western teahouse, and Wencai and Qiusheng were like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, and they felt new to everything.

Fang Haoran remembered that in the original book, Wencai and Uncle Nine were teased by the eldest lady of the Ren family because they had never drunk coffee, since he came to this world and worshipped Uncle Nine as a teacher, naturally he would not let this scene happen again. In order to get a good vaccination, he also specially explained some knowledge about drinking coffee to Wencai, presumably Wencai and Uncle Jiu will no longer be ridiculed for not knowing how to drink coffee.

Wencai didn't know whether he was listening to the novelty of the story or being addicted to coffee, so he continued one cup after another seven or eight times. Fang Haoran looked funny, and said in his heart After drinking so much coffee, look at how you can sleep at night.

By the time he and Wen Cai returned to Yizhuang, it was already approaching dusk.

When Uncle Nine received the meeting gift that Fang Haoran wrapped in a hundred oceans, he was taken aback. You must know that although the apprenticeship ceremony is paid attention to these years, most of the families are born in poverty, and the apprenticeship ceremony is generally good if you can send a chicken and a few catties of meat, how can there be a tyrant like Fang Haoran, who will send a hundred oceans at once?

"Senior brother, you really have accepted a good apprentice!" the four-eyed Taoist priest tasted a little on the side.

"No, I can't take this money. Uncle Nine shook his head again and again, "Haoran, I know your intentions, but you have just been robbed by a strongman, and you have no long things when you use money, if you have the heart to give me a few jugs of wine, I can't ask for this money." ”

"Master, you just accept it! I don't need any money in the country by myself now, and besides, I still have to spend a lot of money to eat and live here, and the excess is regarded as me paying for food!" Fang Haoran was also very emotional in his heart, no matter whether those masters in his previous life had the ability or not, which one was not a good hand at making money desperately, and he refused to send money to him like Uncle Jiu. However, it is enough to prove that Uncle Nine really sincerely regards Fang Haoran as an apprentice, so he will consider him.

At this time, Wen Cai burped and persuaded: "Master, you can accept it." Haoran has money now. You don't know, Haoran used a foreign watch as 200 oceans, and invited me to drink foreign tea for an afternoon!"

When Uncle Nine heard this, his eyebrows immediately rose, glared at him, and said, "Haoran just started, if you don't help as a senior brother, you will use his money indiscriminately?"

"Master, don't blame Wen Cai, I haven't drunk coffee for a long time, so by the way, I invited Wen Cai to have a drink too!" Fang Haoran hurriedly said when he saw that Uncle Nine was about to take a whip.

"This time, Haoran will intercede for you, forget it, next time if you dare to spend Haoran's money casually, I won't break your legs. Uncle Nine glared at Wen Cai and said, "What are you still doing here, why don't you hurry up and help Haoran clean up a room!" He wasn't really angry, but he was afraid that Wen Cai would use his money as a habit when he saw that Fang Haoran was rich, but he didn't know that his brother still settled accounts.

"Okay, master. Wen Cai glanced at Fang Haoran gratefully before leaving.

In this way, Fang Haoran worshipped his teacher and stayed in Yizhuang.
