Chapter 116: Pawn
Because this town is close to Jinzhou Prefecture, the price of goods is also much higher.
Miss Li ate a few bites angrily, and finally couldn't eat it anymore, so she saw that Xiao Er came forward to check out with a smile on her face.
"Girl, it's a total of three taels or two dollars." Xiao Er looked at the girl Li in front of him who didn't look bad, and her clothes were delicate, but she gave a lot of good looks.
But when Miss Li heard the cost of a meal, she almost didn't jump.
"What do you say? Just these dishes cost so much silver, you are a black shop! Miss Li couldn't stand this the most, and suddenly shouted.
Suddenly, Xiao Er's face was not good-looking.
Good guy, when I ordered food just now, I looked like I was not bad for money, and I actually shouted at this time.
Looking at Miss Liu's non-admitting appearance, Xiao Er was even more annoyed.
He rolled his eyes, and then said with a smile: "Hehe, this girl is really joking, you order all the signature dishes of our store." Let's just say that you didn't eat two bites of this in front of you, but you have to get five dollars of silver! As he spoke, seeing that Miss Li was still shouting something, she immediately said: "The girl seems to be from a big family, but don't lose your face and bearing because of a meal." ”
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Miss Li's eyes swept and saw that there were several tables of people looking at her side!
She was immediately deflated, glared at the little two, and then reluctantly took out the silver.
Then he flicked his sleeves and walked away without looking back.
Xiao Er took the silver coin and glanced disdainfully in the direction where Miss Li had gone, and then continued to work.
And it was precisely because of Miss Li's shouting that the people outside heard a little movement.
From the moment Miss Li entered the restaurant, two people saw it, and when they heard the sound inside, and then when Miss Li walked out, the two followed quietly.
Coming out of that restaurant, Miss Li was also in a worse mood.
She wandered around, and finally stopped when she looked at the rouge gouache stall on the side of the road.
Be prepared to buy some in a big spree to calm your anger.
And the two men who had been following her all the time immediately looked at each other and laughed when they saw this.
While Miss Li was concentrating on choosing rouge gouache, two men suddenly approached.
One pretended to pick gouache and said a few words to the stall owner, while the other reached for the purse hanging from Miss Li's waist.
I saw that the man had a light in his hand, and it was a thin blade, but with a slight cut, the bag of the purse fell off.
Seeing this, the person on the left glanced at the person on the right, and the two left instantly, smiling and disappearing.
Miss Li carefully selected rouge gouache, but she didn't know that the two people who left from her side had already left with all her net worth.
After she had selected a few boxes of rouge gouache, Miss Li asked the price and happily paid for it.
But when I touched my waist, where was the money bag.
Suddenly, her face turned pale.
Not caring about what to say to the stall owner, Miss Li looked around in a panic.
In the end, it was fruitless.
Except for a silver hairpin stuck in his head, he really didn't have anything left.
Now I can't go from this town to Jinzhou Mansion, and the price of Jinzhou Mansion is even higher, what do you eat and drink?
Thinking of this, Miss Li looked at the bustling street crowd with a decadent handkerchief, gritted her teeth, and finally got into a nearby pawnshop.
Miss Li touched the silver hairpin on her head, took it off, took one last look, and then pushed it towards the high pawnshop counter.
The person inside immediately took it, but after a few seconds, a male voice was heard: "Die, right?" ”
"En" Miss Li replied lightly, left and right are the hairpins she bought in Shuanghe Town, and she is fine.
The shopkeeper at the counter immediately quoted: "Two taels".
As soon as these words fell, Miss Li was immediately annoyed, when she bought it, it was more than four taels of silver!
At this time, more than half of it was missing, and the silver was also good silver, and the workmanship was not bad.
Of course, the shopkeeper of the pawnshop naturally knows the goods, but when the thing is like this, where to think about the original price.
Miss Li secretly calculated that two taels of silver was not enough for her to hire a carriage.
Now if you go to Jinzhou Mansion again, I'm afraid you will have to go hungry, and where to live is a problem, how can you find Shen Shaoyang!
If you go back to Shuanghe Town now, it is a good choice, and you can still spend it slowly with Shen Shaoyang.
Thinking of this, Miss Li couldn't help but think of the food and comfortable inns she had eaten along the way.
Gritting her teeth, she took out a white handkerchief from her bosom, and when the handkerchief opened, there was a broken white jade and gold peace lock lying flat inside.
That's the only way, this peace lock looks good, and it should be able to be used as a lot of silver.
Ruthlessly, Miss Li put the broken safety lock on the counter.
At first, the boss who came out of the two taels of silver casually, when he saw the peace lock, immediately put down the silver and looked at the things carefully.
The jade is of high quality, the gold is sufficient, and the workmanship is fine, which ......
If it is intact, the price will be a thousand taels of silver.
The shopkeeper, who was a little curious, unconsciously leaned over and glanced at the woman waiting outside the counter.
I remembered her appearance at a glance.
At this time, my heart turned a few times, although this thing is good, it is not complete, and it really can't be sold at a price.
Look at the woman who is wearing a satin shirt, but it is not the style practiced here, and she is not from Jinzhou Mansion.
Because of this, the pawnshop shopkeeper with poisonous eyes suddenly shouted out the price: "Die, forty taels of silver." ”
As soon as these words came out, Miss Li almost blew up.
Forty taels, that's too little.
It's enough to cover the cost of the way back.
I have to say that Miss Li spends money like running water, and most people eat dry food, and it is less than ten taels of silver for a trip.
On the other hand, she actually asked for forty taels of silver to eat and drink.
"Add more, shopkeeper." Miss Li frowned, a little low-eyebrowed.
The shopkeeper thought for a while and continued: "In this case, together with the silver hairpin, I will give you forty-five taels, and there can be no more." Otherwise, you can look elsewhere! ”
So saying, the shopkeeper took out forty-five taels of silver and put them on the counter, and put the things he had received in a cupboard.
Miss Li carried forty-five taels of silver, so she found a carriage in the town and asked people to go in the direction of Shuanghe Town.
The shopkeeper glanced at the safety lock and sighed with some pity.
Just as he was waiting for this, a curtain behind the counter suddenly opened, and an old man with gray hair came out of it.
"Steward, why are you here?" As soon as the words were spoken, the shopkeeper suddenly wanted to slap himself in the mouth.
Lian is an old man of the Lian family, so he naturally has certain rights and connections, and he is quite popular with the main family.
The steward didn't seem to hear his words, but swept the counter lightly, and then said to the pawnshop shopkeeper: "Is there any suspicious person this time?" With that, the steward went to the place where the pawnshop was stacked.
The shopkeeper was about to shake his head and say something, but he saw that the steward suddenly walked a few steps quickly, and suddenly grabbed an object in his hand.
Such a gaffe is really an eye-opener for the shopkeeper.
"Say, 'Who sent this?' When did you send it? Saying this, even the steward's eyes widened with excitement.
