Chapter Twenty-Eight: When the Golden Bead

Ye Yu's articulate appearance shocked the people around her, and after a while, someone came to her side and asked which doctor she was looking for to cure.

"It's a traveling doctor."

She didn't say much else, she was busy making money at the moment.

Today, when she was selling fish and crabs, she used some of what she learned from Sister Sang, buy a little and get a little free, and the effect was surprisingly good.

People who didn't have the intention of buying it, when they heard that they bought and gave it away, they immediately hesitated, and they paid for it, and in less than two quarters of an hour, only a dead small grouper was sold, saving her most of her time.

Ye Yu waited for a while, saw that no one wanted to buy the remaining fish, thought about it, and simply didn't wait. She still has a lot of things to do, and there is no need to delay her work for a few pennies.

This fish can be given to Aunt Qiu when she goes to the village for a while, although it is not worth much, it is also considered meat.

"Girl, it's sold out so soon?"

"Not yet, I don't sell the rest of the rest and take it back to eat. I still have to leave beforehand, thank you Uncle Yu for your statement, this is a penny, you can take it. ”

In the past, Ye Yu couldn't even afford a scale, so he could only borrow from the vendors next to him. It's just that it's always embarrassing to borrow every day, so I said that borrowing once counts as a penny.

This money is really nothing, and people are kind enough to help. Ye Yu kept it in his heart, and he could only wait for his ability to repay him.

As soon as you get out of the pier, there is a long road that stretches to the east. If she walked on her feet, she would have to walk for half an hour to get to the county street. However, if you are willing to pay for it, you can take out two pennies to catch the ox cart and mule cart passing by, saving most of the time.

Ye Yu touched the eighty-six yuan in the money bag that he had just earned, and after thinking for a while, he still took out two yuan and prepared to take a ride.

If she doesn't take the car, she has to walk back and forth for most of the hour, and she can row back when she has time. There are still a lot of things on the island that she needs to go back to help, so don't waste your time here, just four pennies.

Save what should be saved, and spend what should be spent.

Soon Ye Yu got off the bus on the streets of the county seat. She didn't go shopping first, but looked around, found a pawnshop and walked in.

The pawnshop was deserted at this time, except for an old shopkeeper sitting behind the counter dozing.

"Shopkeeper, shopkeeper?"

“……”

"Shopkeeper?! Please help me see how much this chain can do. ”

Ye Yu's voice was a little louder.

"Huh? Chain? ”

The old shopkeeper opened his eyes and frowned subconsciously when he saw Ye Yu's clothes and appearance. People dressed like this don't usually have anything good, but he still cheers up and sits up.

"What bracelet?"

Ye Yu reached out and took off the bracelet and straightened it for the old shopkeeper to see.

"Ah, Jinzhu...... Hey? ”

This gold bead seems to be a little unusual!

The old shopkeeper sat up straight, and instantly came to his senses.

"Little girl, can you give me a closer look?"

"Absolutely."

With such a hundred beads, Ye Yu believed that the old shopkeeper would not do anything to affect the reputation of the pawnshop.

She handed the bracelet over, staring at the old shopkeeper's expression without blinking. After selling seafood for a long time, she has learned how to look at the faces of customers. Whether they really want to buy it or not, it's all in their eyes.

Ye Yu stared at the old shopkeeper for a while, and wondered if he was wrong. The old shopkeeper's eyes shrank when he just looked at the bracelet carefully, and he was obviously a little excited, but he soon lost any emotion.

"Little girl, do you deserve this gold bead dead or alive?"

Ye Yu didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "How much is death, and how much is life?" ”

"If you die, one hundred and twenty wen, and if you live, it is seventy wen and can be redeemed for one year. After more than a year, this bracelet was owned by our pawnshop and can no longer be redeemed. ”

The old shopkeeper lowered his voice with a look of consideration for Ye Yu and said, "Little girl, you picked up this golden bead, I think one hundred and twenty Wen is pretty good." ”

Ye Yu was stunned for a moment, and looked down at himself, this patched dress really didn't look like a person who bought gold jewelry.

She didn't explain, she just asked the old shopkeeper if he could increase the price.

The old shopkeeper shook his head, and was about to open his mouth when he saw that the bracelet in his hand was taken back by the little girl.

"Shopkeeper, the price you offered is too low, I suddenly don't want to be it."

Ye Yu put the bracelet back as he spoke, but the old shopkeeper was in a hurry, but his face was still light.

"Girl, this price is not low. If you don't believe it, go to the silver building and ask, it's already very good to be able to give one hundred and twenty wen for just such a small piece of broken gold. ”

"Okay, I'll go to the silver building and ask now."

Ye Yu responded seriously, and then got up and walked out, without the slightest hesitation. The old shopkeeper couldn't sit still, and when he saw that she was about to step out of the pawnshop, he hurriedly shouted to stay.

"Girl, stay! Stay! When you come back, let's talk about it again? ”

Ye Yu, who had just walked out of the door, heard the old shopkeeper's retention, and the little doubt in his heart was confirmed.

The gold bead in her hand actually knew from the beginning that it was only worth about 100 yuan, but the old shopkeeper just offered 120 yuan, and it was obvious that the price could be raised to a higher price. Judging from her experience in selling things for so long, this bead can be increased by another sixty or seventy wen, and it may be sold to two hundred.

This bead must have something special about it.

Ye Yu lowered his head and looked at the small gold bead seriously, the small round one was nothing special. But there are two small fish and lotus ** painted on it, beautiful.

Is it because the painting is beautiful?

Of course not.

Xiao Yu'er is still young in the end, with little exposure to things and little knowledge. She didn't understand that the craftsmanship on this bead was very, very rare in this era.

To print lifelike koi fish and lotus flowers on just one gram of gold beads, the craftsmanship of 2040 is very simple, but in her time, only a craftsman of the national level can do such perfection.

That's why the old shopkeeper is so reluctant.

Recently, the little lady in the owner's house saw that her birthday was about to pass, and the pawnshop didn't receive any strange things, and he was worried, and the gold bead came.

Although the gold of this thing may not be so heavy, it is better than the outstanding craftsmanship, and the two fish are really vivid, and the little lady will be happy when she sees it.

"Little girl, the price is negotiable, come and sit down and have a cup of tea."

Ye Yu waved his hand and refused.

"Shopkeeper, this bead is from the right source, and it is very guaranteed that there will be no trouble. If you're sincere, I'm in a hurry to get back to work. ”

"Nature is a ...... of sincerity"

The old shopkeeper knew that this girl was not easy to fool, so he immediately put away his thoughts about lowering the price. After a while, I seriously quoted the price.

"Girl, if you die with this gold bead, I can give you at most one or two pieces of silver, and if you live up to three hundred Wen, you can consider it."

Ye Yu: "!! ”

She still guessed low!
