Chapter 64: Acquisition of Pearls
The villager who was ordered by Xiao Tian was Lao Wang, who happily poured out his pearls, and twenty or thirty large and round pearls fell on the stone platform. In the eyes of the earthlings, it may be very dazzling, but in the eyes of the villagers, it has become commonplace.
At first, the villagers received news that pearls could be sold for a good price, so they just wanted to give them a try. Now that everyone has gathered at the entrance of the village, Xiao Tian has also begun to buy pearls according to his promise. But there is no basis for words, and only after seeing the real silver can people be convinced.
Next, it depends on whether Xiao Tian will really give a surprising price.
"This one is big, this one is not bad, this one is barely okay, it's a big one. ”
Xiao Tian looked at the pearl as he used his hand to scratch the large and round pearl to the side. In the heart of the villager Lao Wang, every time he is zoned to a big pearl, it means that there are ten copper plates, and the money is about to arrive.
"Well, eighteen large pearls, nine medium, five small pearls, a total of two taels of silver and thirty copper plates. ”
After Xiao Tian finished the calculation, in the expectant eyes of the villagers, he handed the silver to Lao Wang. Lao Wang happily took the silver and said, "Thank you, you are such a good person." ”
Xiao Tian replied with a smile: "Hehe, no, just take what you need." In his own heart, he thought that this was just an ordinary smile, but in the eyes of the villagers, it was so sincere and heartwarming.
Silver, silver spent in vain, real money! Compared with the merchants who bought pearls in the past, it is a thousand times better. Not only will they not give you a smile, but they will sneer at you: Just a few broken pearls, do you stay there and think that the old hen will lay eggs? It would be nice to give you a copper plate, there are many things on the seaside, do you like to sell them or not, and you don't sell them.
Sometimes the villagers really can't help it, it's really useless to keep it, you can exchange a few copper plates, count a few. Some people will select a few pearls with good color to sell in the market, but often they will not sell for a good price. After a long time, pearls became toys in the hands of children.
The villagers living in Xiaosha Village are relatively poor, and two taels of silver may be their total income for two or three months. Lao Wang sold the pearls, carried more than two taels of silver in his arms, and happily squeezed out of the crowd and left.
"Hehe, Brother Xiao, take mine too, I also have dozens of pearls here! they're quite big, sleek, and they're all good pearls." Zhuzi's mother squeezed across from Xiao Tian and said to him with a smile.
"Oh, well, it's yours, don't worry, you all come one by one, I said, I'll want them all, you don't have to worry. Xiao Tian said loudly to the people around him.
After the first person sold the pearl and got the silver, everyone else was a little excited in their hearts, and there was a commotion in the crowd. In order to stabilize everyone's hearts, Xiao Tian reminded him again that if everyone came up in a hurry, it would inevitably cause trouble.
Fortunately, everyone listened to what Xiao Tian said, and nothing unexpected happened. At this moment, Mother Zhu poured all the pearls on the stone platform, and saw that there were about forty of them. She said while dividing the large particles to the side, "Little brother, you see that this one is very big, and this one, that one is also very big and round." ”
"Well, yes, that's good!"
Xiao Tian sorted the large pearls to one side, and the medium ones to the other side, and in a short time, all the pearls were sorted. Then carefully count the numbers, and Xiao Tian will settle the settlement for the pillar.
"There are 22 large pearls, 13 medium pearls, and 9 small pearls, a total of two taels and ninety-three copper plates. The money is given to you, take it!"
Zhu Zi received 3 taels of silver for his mother, and then found seven copper plates for Xiao Tian, and another deal was completed. After receiving the money, the pillar happily withdrew from the crowd, but did not leave, but happily watched from the periphery and chatted with others.
When the other villagers saw another pearl seller and harvested nearly three taels of silver, their hearts were on fire, and it would not be long before it would be their turn.
"the pillar, congratulations, your pearls were sold for so much money!" said a chatting village woman to Zhuzi's mother.
"Tongxi, Tongxi, it will be your turn next. Fortunately, when I came, I brought the big pearls that my son was playing with with me, and sold them for a few dozen more copper plates! ”
The pillar chatted with a smile, the speaker had no intention, but the listener had a heart, which reminded the chatter. In the same way, their children also take a lot of pearls to play with, if they don't take advantage of the time to sell them, the next time they want to have such a good price, I don't know when?
"the pillar, you reminded me of what you said, I'm going to bring those pearls from my son's body, I'll go now, go first. ”
The women who were chatting on the periphery left in no particular order to find their son, who was playing outside. Not only are there boys who play with pearls, but there are also girls who like to play with beautiful pearls, and they like to play with the house. Immediately after that, some people left to collect pearls for their sons and daughters, or grandchildren.
Xiao Tian didn't pay much attention to the changes in the periphery, he was still busy continuing to buy pearls.
Since the first two villagers have set an example, the next is the third and fourth...... One after another, they sold their pearls. Every villager who sold the pearl and got the silver happily thanked Xiao Tian and praised it greatly, which made Xiao Tian a little embarrassed.
Who called Xiao Tian a good person, buying the pearls that were not worth much at a high price, if this is not a good person, then what kind of person is a good person?
After continuing to buy for a long time, most of the villagers after selling the pearls no longer surrounded the stone platform where Xiao Tian was located, so that the people around the stone platform gradually became scarce, and others could easily approach the stone platform.
The villagers who were notified were in order, and at this time, villagers came one after another with pearls.
Zhu Zi and one of his friends squeezed in to join in the fun, he came to Xiao Tian's side, watching Xiao Tian buy these pearls at a high price, a little puzzled.
"Little uncle, what are you buying these pearls for? My mother took all the pearls I played with and sold them to you. ”
Zhu Zi asked as he looked up at Xiao Tian, and there was a hint of grievance in his voice.
"Oh, my uncle's hometown loves pearls, so I'll collect them and take them back and sell them to them!"
Xiao Tian replied, and continued to divide the pearls. He didn't expect that the villagers would not only collect the pearls in their own homes, but also the pearls that children used as toys. After thinking about it slightly, it became clear that the price of the pearls I bought was so high, if I didn't sell them now, when would I wait?
