Chapter 2: Picking up treasures in the wet and smelly garbage
Under the contemptuous and disgusted gazes of passers-by, Jiang Yun turned out a small dilapidated wooden box under the wet and smelly garbage.
"Xiao Yun, this thing is too dirty, don't touch it, let your mother take it." Wang Mei took the lead and opened the box.
Lying inside was a yellowed silk cloth with a lot of vigorous and powerful calligraphy written on it, which looked a bit like the old calligraphy.
"Celebrity copybook, worth $300"
!!!
Jiang Yun was overjoyed, she didn't expect this thing to be so valuable! With it, the current dilemma can be solved.
"Mom, this is a good thing, let's go to the pawn shop at the corner of the street and ask, maybe we can sell it for a good price."
Wang Mei looked confused, thinking, can this smelly and dirty thing be valuable? But since the girl has spoken, let's try our luck.
Victory Pawn is the only pawn shop in the county.
When the mother and daughter arrived, there was only a young man in the shop, and he saw that the two of them were dirty, and they were carrying bamboo baskets and wire clips, which looked like scavengers.
"Go, go, go! If you want to eat, you have to go somewhere else! We're here to do business! ”
Jiang Yun raised his head and straightened his chest, and put the wooden box on the table with great momentum: "I'm here to do business, go, call your shopkeeper out." ”
The young man sneered, "Yo! The little girl's tone is not small, what kind of business you want to do, give me a look first. "He wanted to see what good things such a dirty girl could come up with.
Jiang Yun opened the box and carefully unfolded the silk cloth: "Take a look." ”
"Hahaha, it's such a smelly and dirty rag, I thought it was some kind of precious thing! Let's go! Don't get in the way of our business here. The young man only glanced at it and concluded that what she had in her hand was useless rubbish.
Wang Mei pulled her daughter's sleeve: "Xiao Yun, let's go back." She didn't want her daughter to be looked down upon.
Jiang Yun smiled slightly at her mother and patted her hand gently to appease.
"I just asked you to call out the shopkeeper, an apprentice like you with half a bucket of water is not qualified to do business with me."
The young man was angry and raised his voice: "I see that you are old and young, and you are here to find fault!" ”
The movement outside was so loud that it alarmed the shopkeeper in the inner room, and a little old man with gray temples walked out in navy blue overalls.
"What's going on? What's the noise? ”
The young man hurriedly nodded and said aggrievedly: "Master, this mother and daughter are holding a rag and insist that I call you out." ”
The shopkeeper looked at the mother and daughter, and found that the little girl in front of her, although she looked yellow and thin, her bearing was not ordinary.
Especially after catching a glimpse of the silk cloth in her hand, her face immediately changed.
The attitude directly came to a 180-degree turn, and he smiled respectfully and earnestly: "Oh, I don't know that the two distinguished guests arrived today, let's please." ”
The young man thought that the master was dizzy, and deliberately emphasized loudly: "Master, the two of them are picking up garbage." ”
The shopkeeper lowered his face and knocked a few chestnuts on his head: "Pick up your head, I forgot what I usually taught you!" If you don't know something, why don't you go and make tea for the two of you! ”
The young man was stunned, obviously a mother and daughter picking up garbage, why did the master treat him as a guest?
The shopkeeper welcomed them to the back room and asked politely, "Little girl, you have an old object in your hand, can you let me take a look?" ”
Jiang Yun handed the silk cloth into the other party's hands.
After some careful discernment, the shopkeeper slowly retracted his expression, and his eyes rolled: "Little girl, things are still okay, but the current market is not very good, I am out of 50, how about it?" ”
After Wang Mei heard it, her eyes lit up, and she was so excited that she didn't expect that the garbage she picked up for nothing could be sold at a high price, and she just wanted to agree, but she was interrupted by her daughter's words.
"The shopkeeper's insincerity, I came to you sincerely, how much this thing is worth, you and I know very well in my hearts." After speaking, he gave the other party a cold and sharp look.
The old shopkeeper was shocked, this was met by someone who knew how to do it, and saw his tone change: "Since everyone understands people, then I won't be verbose." He stretched out two fingers and gestured to a two, which meant two hundred.
Jiang Yun hooked the corners of her mouth and smiled lightly, stretched out her hand, and made a three.
"Little girl, your price is too high, we can't afford it."
Jiang Yun smiled politely and took her mother's hand: "It's okay, it's a big deal that our mother and daughter work hard, go to the city for a trip, there are many pawn shops there, and you can always find someone willing to accept it." ”
Hearing that the other party was leaving, the shopkeeper gritted his teeth and nodded in agreement: "Cheng, three hundred is three hundred, you sit here for a while, and I will go and get money for you." ”
This is a good thing, if you go to the city, it is estimated that your peers will have to squeeze your scalp to rush to buy it, and the fat delivered to your mouth can't fly!
Wang Mei looked at her daughter incredulously: "Xiao Yun, mom isn't dreaming, right?" Can we sell this garbage for 300 yuan? ”
"Mom, you didn't dream, we really earned 300 yuan this time."
Wang Mei looked at the smiling girl, always felt that something was wrong, and said in confusion: "Xiao Yun, how do you know that there is a treasure under that pile of garbage?" And how do you know how much this thing is worth? ”
!!!
Jiang Yun was taken aback, what can I do about this?! If you choose to lie, then you have to use more lies to round it up, but to tell the truth, I guess my mother has to be scared.
So the best thing to do is to half-truth!
"Mom, when I fainted, it seemed that I had a dream, there was an old fairy in the dream, he said that I had done good deeds in my previous life, but I had a miserable end, the old fairy covered my eyes, and when I woke up again, I could see the baby."
Wang Mei looked at her daughter with wide eyes, and slapped her thigh a few times excitedly: "God bless!" My daughter's good fortune is good! Tell Mom, which old fairy are you dreaming of? When I got home, I gave him an offering. ”
"Forget ...... Forgot about ......"
While the two were talking, the shopkeeper came back with a stack of banknotes, and he handed over the money with a smile on his face: "Little girl, dot it, see if the number is right." ”
"I don't have any reason to worry about the shopkeeper's work, we are all honest people."
Jiang Yun handed over the wooden box and silk cloth to the other party, took the money and left with his mother.
Wang Mei glanced back, and saw the shopkeeper's words encouraging and reprimanding the young man.
"You blind guy almost drove the big deal away......"
She looked back at her thin and sick daughter, and vaguely felt that her daughter seemed to be different from before.
"Mom, now that we have money, let's go to the hospital first, it's better to check what disease I have in this body!"

A man with righteous words: "Let me come!" I'm going to give Xiao Yun a full body checkup! ”
Jiang Yun took the pan and knocked him all over the head: "Let's check yourself first, can't you see such obvious defects?" ”
Man: "Where?" ”
Jiang Yun: "No face!" ”
A man was sad and lonely......
