Chapter 129: Pawn

Lin Xiao walked on the street, looking left and right very curiously, looking at the various antique shops on the left and right, he felt as if he was in a TV series.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, Lin Xiao also deliberately searched around with his sense, but of course he didn't find the so-called camera, but this is a real ancient town, and the pedestrians wearing robes, strong suits, and skirts around him are not played by those old-fashioned actors, but real people, they have lived in such a society since childhood, and they don't know what a camera is.

"Uncle, how do you sell these baked cakes?" Lin Xiao walked to a stall on the side of the street with a baked cake stall and said to the white-haired old man.

The old man was dressed in a gray coarse cloth shirt, his hair was all white, his face was wrinkled, and his face was very deep, obviously caused by frequent labor, but it was difficult to estimate the age of the old man, but he must have been about fifty or sixty.

The old man saw that the blue robe worn by Lin Xiao was not like a delicate texture, I was afraid that those silk satins did not have such brilliance, and they could reflect the human figure, and Lin Xiao's body had just been reshaped, but it was more ruddy and white than the baby's skin, and a pair of dark eyes showed clear light, which made people feel very comfortable when they saw it inexplicably.

With such a temperament, in the eyes of the old man, he is naturally a great character, and he immediately said with a smile: "Back to the little brother, the old man's baked cakes cost two pennies, and the little brother is patronizing it for the first time, but the face is tight." ”

"Oh, how does the old man know that I am the first time to patronize, can you still remember the people who patronize your stall every day?" Lin Xiao asked strangely, but pointed to the baked cakes on the stall in front of the old man, and continued: "Wrap me two to try it, I haven't eaten for a long time, and my mouth is about to fade out of bird." ”

"Okay!" The old man quickly took out a piece of oiled paper from the side of the stall, deliberately picked up two thin-skinned and thick-filled baked cakes, wrapped them for Lin Xiao, and handed them to Lin Xiao while saying: "It's not that the old man has an excellent memory, but he is a character with such a temperament as the little brother, I have never met the old man, if I have met it before, I will definitely not forget it." ”

"Hahaha, the old man speaks so well, how can I have any temperament?" Lin Xiao shook his head funny, took the baked cake, reached out and touched the storage belt on his waist, but he didn't find a small amount of silver or the like, but he couldn't buy the baked cake without giving money, so he had to find a night pearl, afraid that the old man would not answer, he threw it directly to his stall, waved his hand at the old man and turned away.

"Hey, little brother...... Two baked cakes, this, this is too precious......" The old man picked up the Night Pearl and looked at it, he was suddenly startled, a look of panic appeared on his face, and he hurriedly took the Night Pearl and bypassed the stall, stepped forward to stop Lin Xiao, and stretched out his hand to return the Night Pearl to Lin Xiao.

How can Lin Xiao take back this night pearl again, although for the old man, such a night pearl is too precious, but for Lin Xiao, this is a dispensable thing, not even ornamental, after all, the brilliance emitted by those spirit stones is not comparable to these night pearls, so he waved his hand to the old man again and again:" Uncle, I really didn't go out with a fragment of silver, you can accept this night pearl, otherwise I can't ask for your baked cakes, you look at my dress temperament, you can understand that with my identity, I will not care about this treasure, uncle, don't shirk. ”

"This ...... How can this work, little brother, two streets in front of you, which is where Chen Ji's pawnshop is, it is better for the little brother to go there and take this night pearl as a good thing, and use some fragments of silver. The old man held the night pearl in both hands, but he refused to accept anything, and said to Lin Xiao: "As for the two baked cakes, I will invite you to eat the little brother, look at the temperament of the little brother, naturally he is a noble young master, I can invite a character like the little brother to eat a baked cake, or the old man I have earned miles!"

"Thank you for your advice, I really have to use it as a scrap of silver. Lin Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he thanked the old man, and waved his hand at the old man again, "Uncle, you can accept the pearl of the night, see that you are also a responsible person, the pearl of the night will be a gift I gave you, just for your character who is not greedy for cheap, I think there is no problem at all to give you a night pearl, okay uncle, I'm leaving." ”

After speaking, Lin Xiao didn't wait for the old man to say anything, his body moved, and he suddenly turned into the crowd, moved his steps slightly, and his figure disappeared from the old man's sight.

The old man held the night pearl in his hand and stood on the spot for a while.

......

Lin Xiao inquired with pedestrians again, and then found the Chen Ji pawnshop that the old man who sold baked cakes said.

The faΓ§ade of Chen Kee Pawnshop is very ordinary, but as soon as you enter the inside, you find that the layout inside is extremely exquisite, and the store is particularly clean.

As soon as they entered the store, those guys saw Lin Xiao's dress and temperament, and they immediately felt that their eyes lit up, but they were preempted by a young man in purple, greeted him warmly, and said to Lin Xiao respectfully: "May I ask if the guest is a pawn item, or are you going to see some treasures?"

It was the first time for Lin Xiao to enter such a store, and he didn't know the process here, so he humbly asked the guy a few words, but after inquiry, Lin Xiao understood.

It turned out that this Chen Kee shop ran two kinds of business, which was what the guy called pawns and treasures.

Among them, there is naturally nothing to say about pawns, that is, the literal meaning, some people who urgently need money do not have so much cash on hand, so they find their own treasures, precious calligraphy and paintings, in short, they are more valuable items, come here to mortgage, and get money from here.

It's like the mortgage in the bank in Lin Xiao's previous life.

However, pawn is divided into two modes, one is to die, directly give this valuable object to the pawn shop, and then take the money and leave, and there is nothing to do with it.

There is also a kind of live pawn, most of them are those who are in urgent need of money at the moment, pawn the valuable objects here, but also sign a pawn ticket to the pawn shop, if the pawn person within the time limit written in the pawn ticket, the pawn money and interest are paid off, then the original pawn of the valuable objects, can be redeemed.

Of course, if it has not been redeemed after expiration, the ownership of the valuable items pawned by the pawnbroker is completely owned by the pawnbroker, and the pawnshop can dispose of it at will.

This is the business of pawning.
