Wu Youdao walked slowly from the street, watching as he walked. When I came to a shop, I saw two stone lions at the door, and there was a big traditional character 'dang' hanging next to the door. The vermilion gate is open, and there is a large plaque hanging on the gate, with three traditional characters written on it, and Wu Youdao reads: 'Tongyi Bao'.

At this time, the guys inside saw a strange man in strange clothes standing at the door, and read the name of their pawnshop backwards, and his face was slightly unhappy. But businessmen pay attention to harmony and make money, and all the people who come are customers. It's white silver! So the man came out of it and asked, 'Hello sir, welcome to Bao Yitong, can I help you?' ’

Wu Youdao found out that the Bao Yitong pawnshop that the little second brother said had arrived, and he also read the font number backwards from left to right according to the habits of the 21st century. So he touched his nose awkwardly and said to the guy: "I'm sorry for this little brother, I just came back from abroad, and I'm used to reading from left to right." By the way, are you here at Bao Yitong Pawnshop? ’

The guy glanced at Wu Youdao a little, seeing that although he was dressed in strange clothes, he had a good temperament, not like telling a lie, it is estimated that this is a new fashion dress that is emerging abroad, right? So he replied with a smile: 'This gentleman is Bao Yitong here, this number can be dead or alive, I don't know how I can help you?' ’

Wu Youdao asked: 'Little brother, how to talk about death, and how to talk about life?' The man smiled slightly and said, "Sir, please, let's talk slowly." Wu Youdao smiled and nodded, and when the guy saw that Wu Youdao agreed, he led him into the store, asked him to sit down and wait for a while, and then went to serve tea. Wu Youdao took a look at it, there was a large counter made of mahogany in this store, the furniture in the store was also mahogany, and there were some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and the whole store looked clean and tidy, low-key and introverted. Then the man offered refreshments and said, 'Sir, please.' ’

Wu Youdao said with a smile: "Little brother, I just came back from abroad, and I lost my luggage when I got off the boat, and now I want to treat this watch as your place, how can you take this watch as a watch?" With that, he took out the watch from his backpack and handed it to the man. The guy took the watch with both hands, and looked at it carefully, the whole body of this watch is made of pure steel, the surface glass is crystal clear, and the decoration inside is also improving, the whole is dazzling, anyway, he has never seen such a superb watch on the market at present.

The guy thought for a moment and asked, 'Sir, I don't know if you want to die or live?' To put it simply, death is no need to redeem it in the future, but it can be redeemed in the future' Wu Youdao thought about it, although this watch is not a valuable item, but it was given by his girlfriend, and it has extraordinary commemorative significance for him! So he said: 'Little brother, this watch is commemorative for me, so let's live it!' ’

The man thought for a moment and said, 'Sir, this way, you wait a minute, I can't be the master, I'll go and call the shopkeeper to come and see.' Wu Youdao smiled and nodded in agreement. So the man got up and went to the back of the screen and went to the shopkeeper. After about two minutes, the man came out with the shopkeeper. Wu Youdao took a look, the shopkeeper was about 40 years old, not tall, probably less than 170, slightly fat, with a short beard under his chin, and a pair of smiling little eyes under Luohan's eyebrows looked very friendly.

At this time, the shopkeeper walked to Wu Youdao's side, hugged his fists slightly, and said: "This gentleman, the surname Zhao is the shopkeeper of the pawnshop here, I heard that Mr. wants to pawn property in the contemptible?" ’

Wu Youdao got up and learned the shopkeeper's fist and said: "Zhao shopkeeper is good, the contemptible person has just come back from abroad, and he accidentally lost his luggage when he got off the boat, and now he needs a sum of cash to respond to the emergency. As he spoke, he handed the watch to the shopkeeper Zhao.

Shopkeeper Zhao hurriedly motioned to Wu Youdao to put the watch on the coffee table first. There is also a saying here, if this property falls to the ground and is broken during this handover, who will it be? That's why there is such an unwritten rule in the industry.

Waiting for Wu Youdao to put the watch on the coffee table, Shopkeeper Zhao carefully picked it up with both hands and looked at it carefully. I don't know if I don't look at it, this watch is really as the guy said, the material is scarce and the craftsmanship is exquisite! This shopkeeper Zhao is also a person who has seen the world, his brother-in-law is the owner of the famous Litong Haiqian Village in Tianjin, and he is also a well-known aide Li Shiyi under the governor of Zhili, Lord Yuan, who is known as Li Daqian's bag. To say that this shopkeeper Zhao is also a scene, but he has never seen this watch. Both the material and the craftsmanship are far superior to some famous watches on the market today.

Shopkeeper Zhao glanced at Wu Youdao again, the guest in front of him, although he was dressed in strange clothes, he talked well and was generous, such a character is not something that ordinary families can cultivate, and it is estimated that it is also a certain family's yakai who is in trouble when he goes out, there is a saying in the rivers and lakes called 'help the emergency does not help the poor', just make a friend.

Shopkeeper Zhao had a bottom in his heart and said: "Sir, this watch is indeed very scarce, the material is novel, and the workmanship is exquisite. It's just that I can't tell which well-known brand this is from? ’

This Wu Youdao is not a native of this world, he comes from the era of information explosion in the 21st century, and his knowledge is indeed much stronger than that of the natives of this world.

Wu Youdao said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Zhao, this watch is not a popular general watch on the market, this is a friend of the contemptible people in Europe and Switzerland to find a master to customize, the whole watch is purely handmade, not only the key is not bad but also waterproof 30 meters." You can throw it in the water bubbles and you'll know it's true. After speaking, he asked the guy to fetch a basin of water on the spot, and then threw the watch into the water, and then chatted with the shopkeeper Zhao about current affairs and the European powers.

After about a quarter of an hour, he took the watch out of the water, and after wiping it clean, Shopkeeper Zhao looked at the watch again, and it was indeed intact.

Shopkeeper Zhao read countless people, and estimated that Wu Youdao said that he was not far from ten, and his heart was quite shocked, so he was more and more sure that the strange clothes in front of him were not small, so he said: "After chatting for so long, I still don't know your surname? I don't know if Mr. is going to die or live? ’

Although Wu Youdao had already decided that he must redeem the watch in the future, he still wanted to make this pawn property a little clearer, so he said: "Shopkeeper Zhao, the contemptible person is exempt from the noble surname Wu, but I don't know what to say about life and death?" ’

Shopkeeper Zhao remained silent, thinking about who the big guys surnamed Wu were, and then glanced at Wu Youdao a little, and had a plan in his heart. So he said: 'Sir, it goes without saying that this is a one-price deal, which is equivalent to you selling your property to a contempt, and you cannot redeem it later, and of course the price must be higher than that of Huodang; As for the work, that is, you take the property as a disdain, and the two parties agree that you will redeem it within the specified time, and pay a certain amount of interest, once you do not redeem it within the agreed period, the disdain has the right to dispose of the property you pawn. ’

Wu Youdao said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Zhao, originally, this watch is not a rare treasure, that is, a thought left by a confidant of the contemptible to the contemptible person. If you want to talk about the physical value, it is not too high, it cost less than 1,000 pounds at the time, but it is still very commemorative for the contemptible people, so the contemptible people should live it. ’

Shopkeeper Zhao was quite shocked in his heart, the master in front of him didn't treat money as money, less than 1,000 pounds, then it was 800 pounds, what is the concept of 800 pounds, it is almost equal to 8,000 oceans.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, a piece of ocean could buy more than 40 catties of rice, and the average person's monthly income was more than ten or twenty yuan. There are more and more calculations in my heart, and this master is not simple.

So he said quietly: "Sir, your watch is indeed worth a lot of money according to what you said, but it is difficult to set an accurate price if you have not seen it on the market, and it is difficult to price such a property at most, and the general peers will give a death at the price you said about 3,000 oceans, and a life of about 2,000 oceans, and the interest must be at least about 2 cents." Let's make a friend, if you are willing to die, you should give 3300 oceans, and if you live to give 2300 oceans, the interest will be 1 point 8, what do you think? ’

Wu Youdao replied after a little calculation: "Okay, shopkeeper Zhao, your friend is contemptible, and you are also a cheerful person, so just do what you say." ’

At the moment, the two sides said yes, negotiated the redemption time, and completed all the formalities, Zhao shopkeeper took out three silver tickets of Litong Haiqian Zhuang and said: "This is the silver ticket of Litong Haiqian Zhuang can be exchanged for silver or ocean at will in the national branch, these three silver tickets are two 1000 oceans, one is 200 oceans, a total of 2200 oceans." As he spoke, he put the silver ticket on the coffee table, and asked the guy to take out 100 oceans from the counter and put them in a cloth bag for Wu Youdao to collect in person.

Wu Youdao picked up the silver ticket and looked at it, took the silver ticket into his backpack, took the cloth bag and said: "Shopkeeper Zhao is an honest merchant at a glance, and you don't need to collect it." ’

Shopkeeper Zhao smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. said that the luggage was lost, and I can't go out without some expenses, so I prepared this 100 oceans for you alone." ’

After the two sides settled, Wu Youdao thanked the shopkeeper Zhao again, took out 10 pieces of ocean from the cloth bag and put them in his coat pocket, and received the remaining 90 pieces in his backpack, and left the pawnshop with the courtesy of the guy. After staying away from the pawnshop, Wu Youdao found a secluded place, took out a piece of ocean and looked at it, only to see that the front of the ocean was engraved with the three characters of Beiyang made by the outer ring, and the four words of Guangxu ingots were engraved on the four sides of the middle, and the lower corner of the coin was engraved with the words Kuping seven coins and two points, and the back was a delicate dragon pattern. Wu Youdao learned from the TV series, took the ocean and blew it, put it to his ear and listened to it again, just wanted to be proud, and his stomach rumbled again.
