The grandmother chose a coffee shop with a warm décor, and there were not many people in the shop, so it was quiet and perfect for conversation.

After ordering coffee and desserts, the grandmother first introduced herself, saying that her name was Zhao Aixiang, and the people around her called her Ah Xiangpo, she came to Xingang from the mainland 30 years ago, and she was also a young lady from a rich family in the mainland, but unfortunately, all the gold bars were stolen on the first day of Xingang.

"And then?" Jiang Zhenzhen was attracted by the story of A Xiangpo.

Ah Xiangpo smiled: "Fortunately, I still carried a jade bracelet with me at that time, and later I used the money to open a morning tea shop, and the business was not bad." ”

In fact, she was modest, and her business was not bad, because the materials were affordable and delicious, and she quickly became famous, and then she relied on this business, not only bought an apartment in Xingang, but also bought a shop in a very good location.

"Fortunately, the master I met back then who received my bracelet was real, otherwise my morning tea shop might not have been able to open." Ah Xiangpo recalled the past, and her tone was full of emotion.

Jiang Zhenzhen didn't expect such a coincidence, she couldn't hold back her excitement, and asked Ah Xiangpo: "Then is that master still there now?" ”

"Yes, yes." Ah Xiangpo said, "I'll take you to him later!" ”

Jiang Zhenzhen laughed: "Okay." Just as Ah Xiangpo recalled the past, Jiang Zhenzhen quietly took out four pearls from the space under the table.

Two of them were drop-shaped pearls with a length of more than 15 millimeters, and two pearls were not particularly regular, but had a diameter of 10 millimeters.

And the two pearls with the roundest, most perfect shape and the highest value were left in the space by her, after all, she and Ah Xiangpo just met in Pingshui, and the heart of defense is still indispensable.

She pretended to take the pearls out of her pocket, and then showed the four pearls in her palm to Ah Xiangpo.

The place they chose was right by the window, and the sunlight poured in through the floor-to-ceiling windows, falling on the pearls, which looked even more colorful. Ah Xiangpo was stunned, she cautiously stretched out her hand, picked up the four pearls in Jiang Zhenzhen's palm, and shook them slightly against the sun, and the pearl color was even more dazzling.

"Oh my God." Ah Xiangpo exclaimed, "I haven't seen a pearl of this quality in many years!" ”

Ah Xiangpo also had a natural wild seawater bead necklace when she was a child, so she knows what kind of pearl wild pearls should have, coincidentally, she happened to have a string of pearl bracelets on her wrist, although it is also a seawater pearl, but at first glance it is a cultured saltwater pearl. In contrast to this bracelet, Jiang Zhenzhen's four pearls look even more beautiful.

"Such a precious pearl, you actually put it directly in your pocket!" After tasting the jewelry, Ah Xiangpo couldn't help but reprimand Jiang Zhenzhen, "You just can't buy a box for pearls, at least you have to wrap it in a piece of cloth!" ”

Jiang Zhenzhen smiled embarrassedly, and then asked, "Is this pearl worth anything?" ”

"Worth it, of course it's worth it!" "Especially these two. She took out the two droplet-shaped ones, "This naturally occurring droplet shape is so perfect that it will definitely sell for a lot of money." ”

The corners of Jiang Zhenzhen's mouth couldn't help but turn up, thinking that if she could sell it at a high price, then she wouldn't have come in vain today.

After drinking coffee and eating dessert, Ah Xiangpo took Jiang Zhenzhen to find the pawnshop owner she knew.

In the 80s, Xingang, with colorful high-rise buildings on one side and low-rise slums on the other, Ah Xiangpo took Jiang Zhenzhen into a somewhat dilapidated looking alley and stopped in front of a pawnshop with a very low-key façade.

"Here?" Jiang Zhenzhen began to worry about whether she had met a liar.

Ah Xiangpo said, "Yes, this is it. Don't you think that the location of this store is not good, it looks inconspicuous, how do you think those pawnshops outside have decorated the store so splendidly? Not yet the money of those guests of the pit? It is to bully some customers who do not know the goods. ”

It makes sense, Jiang Zhenzhen couldn't help but believe it.

She followed Ah Xiangpo into the pawnshop, which was very similar to the pawnshop decoration in the costume TV series she had watched, with high counters and railings dividing the guests and the shopkeeper into two worlds.

When she first came in, there was no one behind the counter, and Ah Xiangpo shouted: "Brother Sansheng-"

A moment later, Jiang Zhenzhen heard the sound of the curtain being opened, and a white-bearded old man appeared behind the counter.

"Sister Xiang, why are you free to come over today?" The white-bearded old man said with a smile, "Do you rest assured that your Jiahui is watching business in the store now?" ”

"I don't worry about what else to do, I'm a lot older, and I can't keep my hands open." After speaking, Ah Xiangpo pulled Jiang Zhenzhen to her side and said, "I brought you a guest, this girl has wild seawater pearls in her hand, I have seen it, the quality is special, you can also take a look." He said to Jiang Zhenzhen, "Don't take out the pearls quickly." ”

Jiang Zhenzhen took out the pearls from her pocket, raised her hand and put the pearls on the counter, the white-bearded old man really deserved to be a pawnshop, and before he could get started, his eyes lit up, as if he recognized at a glance that these pearls were not fake, they were wild sea pearls!

To make sure his judgment was correct, he took out his magnifying glass and looked at the pearls one by one.

After a while, he put down the magnifying glass, his serious expression turned into a stretched smile, and said, "Sister Ah Xiang, your vision is still so good after so many years, it is indeed a pearl of salt." ”

Jiang Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the shopkeeper knows the goods, then the next thing is to ask the price.

Without waiting for Jiang Zhenzhen to speak, Ah Xiangpo opened her mouth first: "Brother Sansheng, this girl helped me catch a thief on the road just now, I gave her a thank you fee and she didn't accept it, she is a good boy, you have to give her a real price, you can't trick her." ”

The white-bearded old man glanced at Ah Xiangpo, pretended to be angry and said: "You are insulting me when you say this, I have opened a shop for so many years, when have I ever cheated people?!" ”

Ah Xiangpo stretched out her hand and patted her mouth gently, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, I said the wrong thing, that Brother Sansheng, how much do you give this girl these pearls?" ”

The white-bearded old man twisted his eyebrows, and Jiang Zhenzhen, who had been paying attention to the expression of the white-bearded old man, became nervous, just when she thought that the white-bearded old man was going to find something wrong with the price of pearls to come down, she heard him say: "These two irregular, I can open a thousand yuan each, and these two drop-shaped ones are five thousand yuan each." ”

After speaking, he looked at Jiang Zhenzhen and asked, "What do you think, can you accept it?" Without waiting for Jiang Zhenzhen to answer, he added, "I can only open at this price, this is the highest price, if you go to another pawnshop, you may not get the price I gave." ”

Jiang Zhenzhen only hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I should." ”

"Attention, what I just offered is the price of death, if you live, you don't have this money."
