Chapter Sixty-Eight: Priceless Treasure

The room was silent, and the shopkeeper was not in a hurry to ask what the treasure was, so he quietly sipped tea with a tea cup.

Liu Qiao'er ate a few pieces of osmanthus cake and looked at the shopkeeper, and finally couldn't help but speak, "The shopkeeper can collect the night pearl?" ”

The shopkeeper paused for a moment with the tea, put down the teacup and looked up, "It depends on what category, if it is convenient, you can take it out and take a look." ”

Liu Qiao'er didn't hold it anymore this time, looked at Xu Xiaoxiao and nodded, and Xu Xiaoxiao took the carved wooden box to the coffee table next to the shopkeeper after receiving the prompt.

She carefully opened the wooden box, and the night pearl in the wooden box emitted a dazzling light.

The shopkeeper became uncalm after seeing the Night Pearl, stood up from his seat, and wanted to pick up the Night Pearl in the wooden box, but as soon as he reached out his hand, Xu Xiaoxiao closed the lid of the box.

"Shopkeeper, now that you have seen it, can you give me a price?" She said, holding the wooden box in her arms.

The shopkeeper still stared at the wooden box in Xu Xiaoxiao's arms, and coughed lightly, "I took a few cursory glances just now, the beads are shiny and translucent, and they are a good item." ”

After saying that, he touched his chin and pondered, and after a moment, held out five fingers.

Liu Qiao'er didn't know why she asked, "5,000 taels of silver?" ”

The shopkeeper chuckled and shook his head, "5,000 taels of gold." ”

"What?" Liu Qiao'er jumped up from her seat in surprise.

She thought that at most 5,000 taels of silver, she didn't expect that this night pearl was far more valuable than she imagined, and she knew that the price would increase several times.

Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Liu Qiaoer, who had lost her square inch, and walked in the direction of Liu Qiaoer, "Don't worry, shop around." ”

Liu Qiao'er suddenly woke up and nodded hurriedly, "Shopkeeper, let's think about it." ”

After speaking, he pulled Chu Chu and Tie Zhu out of the door, and the shopkeeper saw that Liu Qiao'er was about to leave, so he stepped forward and stopped him with a smile.

"In the whole Shu land, the price given by our pawnshop is the highest, and other families may not be able to take out so many silver taels at one time, and now the number is already very high due to natural and man-made disasters."

The shopkeeper Xiaozhi tried to persuade Liu Qiaoer to stay, Xu Xiaoxiao and Liu Qiaoer glanced at each other, and the two approached and bowed their heads to discuss quietly.

"Xiaoxiao, what do you think?"

"The shopkeeper is right, now there are natural and man-made disasters, but there are not many pawnshops that can take out silver taels at one time."

"So we agreed?"

"Don't make a sound, let's see what the shopkeeper has to say."

After Xu Xiaoxiao finished discussing, he and Liu Qiaoer sat back on the stool, calmly picked up the teacup and drank tea, and the shopkeeper was relieved to see the two of them sitting back in their positions.

He smiled and said, "Wait a minute, you two. ”

After the shopkeeper left a word, he walked to the back room in front of him, and the guy came in with other food, respectfully put it on the coffee table, and left the room after putting down the food.

Liu Qiaoer and Xu Xiaoxiao were bored eating snacks on the table, tilting their heads in anticipation of the appearance of the shopkeeper.

About half a cup of tea later, the shopkeeper came out of the back room with a wooden box, "The two of you have been waiting for a long time." ”

Liu Qiaoer leaned lazily on the stool, and when she saw the shopkeeper come out, she quickly got up and sat upright, pretending to be calm and straightening out her clothes.

"Shopkeeper, what is this?" Xu Xiaoxiao glanced at the wooden box in the shopkeeper's arms.

The shopkeeper smiled mysteriously and carefully opened the wooden box, and a golden silver appeared in the wooden box, and a silver ingot was arranged in a row in the box.

"This...."Liu Qiao'er was blinded by Jin Guangliang, and walked forward with a frightened look shaking her legs, "These are 5,000 taels?" ”

She has never even seen 50 taels in her life, let alone 5,000 taels.

"Hahaha, there are only 1,000 taels here, as long as you have no problem, I will take out the remaining 4,000 taels immediately." The shopkeeper was surprised when he saw Liu Qiaoer's expression, and said with a smile.

Xu Xiaoxiao glanced at Liu Qiao'er, and Liu Qiao'er also threw a signal to her at this time, and she nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"Shopkeeper, I don't really care about the price, it's just that we are new to the city and want to make a living in Shucheng." Xu Xiaoxiao closed the wooden box and said without hurry.

"The little girl is not talented, her cooking skills are good, and she wants to sell recipes to major restaurants, but I don't know if the shopkeeper has an acquaintance to introduce her?"

The shopkeeper looked at Xu Xiaoxiao again, and his heart had changed his opinion of the little girl in front of him, he also thought that this girl was a young lady from a rich family, and came out to pawn valuable objects in the family in order to make a living.

Unexpectedly, this little girl actually had a very new idea.

"Haha, this is easy to do, I know a few restaurant owners, I can introduce you another day." The shopkeeper put the wooden box on the coffee table and made a gesture of invitation to Xu Xiaoxiao.

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded in response and walked to the stool and sat down, "It's better to be like this, once you successfully settle in one, we will give you three percent of the points." ”

"Mention something?" When the shopkeeper heard this, he became interested, and continued to ask with great interest, "What is the point of mention?" ”

"The point is that whenever a guest orders my dish, you will have a penny, and the recipe of my dish is not sold, only rented, and the contract will be renewed when the time comes." Xu Xiaoxiao sat on a stool, picked up the teacup, and blew white smoke lightly.

"That's a good idea, the three parties make a profit, yes, very good." When the shopkeeper heard this, he jumped up from his seat excitedly, clapped his hands and applauded, "The contemptible surname is Zhao, a single word, win, the girl's surname?" ”

Xu Xiaoxiao said, "If your surname is Xu, you can call me Xiaoxiao." ”

Shopkeeper Zhao said, "Then we will settle this matter, how to contact the girl?" ”

"You can send someone to the Fulai Inn." Xu Xiaoxiao got up and handed the carved wooden box to Shopkeeper Zhao.

Shopkeeper Zhao took the wooden box ecstatically, "Little girl, wait a while, I'll go get the silver taels immediately." ”

Shopkeeper Zhao did not immediately take the carved wooden box, but trotted to the back.

Liu Qiao'er saw the back of Zhao's shopkeeper who had disappeared, and walked to Xu Xiaoxiao's side, "Oh my God, how did you think of that?" ”

"We were taught when we were in school." Chu Chu was not surprised to play with the osmanthus cake in his hand.

Tie Zhu clasped his hands in front of his chest and said disdainfully, "The price is too low. ”

"Well, but this is the world, and that's the price." Xu Xiaoxiao agreed with Tiezhu's statement, but the current world is different from the era of peace, and this price is estimated to be the limit.

"Then we don't have to rush back." Liu Qiaoer happily hugged Xu Xiaoxiao's arm.

"Yes, stay one more day, if Shopkeeper Zhao hasn't contacted us yet, we'll go back, if it's too late, Liu Lizheng and Grandma Liu will be worried." Xu Xiaoxiao smiled and tapped Liu Qiaoer's forehead and said dotingly.

This time, Shopkeeper Zhao quickly came out of the back room, followed by two guys, holding four boxes of wooden boxes in their hands.

"Two girls, take an inventory." Shopkeeper Zhao turned sideways and pointed to the wooden box behind him, and the guy behind him immediately opened the wooden box, and the golden silver taels appeared in the wooden box.
