Chapter 11 Bargaining
The waiter glanced at her, stretched out his hand from the counter, and curled his lips without slashing.
"I will first take the things and make sure they are valuables before I can call the shopkeeper. Otherwise, if a cat or a dog will just take something out to deceive people, we will not be too busy to death!"
Although his words were a bit ugly, they made some sense. So she took out the jade pendant from her arms and held it in front of her and shook it. The waiter was about to reach out to pick it up, but she took it back and carefully held it in front of her.
"See it! This is a jade pendant of good quality. If you don't invite the shopkeeper out, I'll leave."
Although the waiter didn't know the goods, the jade pendant looked really good. He was afraid that he would really miss a big customer, so he asked her to wait and he went to call the shopkeeper.
After a while, a young man wearing a white long gown with sparse eyebrows and a young man holding a folding fan in his hand came in from the back door.
Luo Lan did not get up to answer. She felt that this person was not like the shopkeeper of the pawnshop, and the shopkeeper here must be an elderly bearded man.
The young man came to her and bowed:
"Does this girl have something to be?
Luo Lan was stunned at first, then nodded.
"Yes, are you the shopkeeper?"
The other party responded politely, "I am now Yuan Feng, the shopkeeper of our store."
Hearing that it was the shopkeeper, Luo Lan then spread her palm and displayed the jade pendant in front of Yuan Feng.
"If you can help the shopkeeper give me a palm, how much money can this thing be used for?"
Yuan Feng took the jade pendant with respect and took it in his hands carefully. After a while, he frowned and said:
"Where did the girl get this thing?"
"Own."
He glanced at her and then reached out and said:
"Please talk to the back girl."
Although she was a little puzzled by his inexplicable behavior, it was a valuable item after all, and it was understandable that the shopkeeper was careful, so she didn't think much about it and went directly to the backyard with him.
This pawn shop seems to be quite powerful. The main hall in this backyard is spacious and bright, and has a unique decoration.
Luo Lan looked around for a while, and when she turned around, she saw Yuan Feng looking at her, she asked a little unnaturally.
"Why does the shopkeeper look at me like this? What's wrong?"
Yuan Feng shook his head, "Nothing is wrong, this thing is not yours."
After hearing this, Luo Lan tried to grab the jade pendant, and Yuan Feng dodged away.
Luo Lan glared at him with some displeasure.
"This is my thing. If you don't collect and return it to me, I'll go to another house."
"Come on, I'm just curious about the origin of this thing."
Yuan Feng looked at her again with an inquiring look, "If I read this thing correctly, it is a royal thing, and the girl doesn't look like a royal person."
Luo Lan didn't expect that the shopkeeper had a pretty good look.
She simply said:
"I didn't expect you to be quite sensible. Since that's the case, I won't hide it from you. This thing is royal, but I came from the right way. Will you accept it?"
"receive."
Yuan Feng looked at her again, with a hint of curiosity deep in his eyes.
"How much money do you want to sell?"
A hint of displeasure flashed in Luo Lan's bright eyes. How could she know how much money this thing is worth? So she looked at him with a serious look, "You are the shopkeeper, I want to hear if the price you gave is acceptable."
Yuan Feng stretched out a finger happily.
"One hundred taels of silver."
One hundred taels? Can this thing be sold for so much money? Luo Lan felt ecstatic, but she calmed down for a moment, blinked her eyes cunningly and said:
"I want two hundred taels."
Yuan Feng was stunned at first, then smiled, "Tell me your reasons?"
"If you give me one hundred taels, it means that this thing is more than one hundred taels. If you are a businessman, you will naturally have to make some money. If I have two hundred taels, you will definitely not lose money. Besides, I will redeem this jade pendant in the future. You are just making a saving price. I want more, and you will earn more saving fees."
"Hahaha……"
Yuan Feng suddenly laughed, "Okay, the girl is a happy person, then only two hundred taels. I will give you the longest period, one year of the current period. If you don't come to redeem within one year, then this thing is mine."
Luo Lan nodded without any support, "A word is certain, I only need ten taels of silver to be sold, and the rest need silver notes."
It is always inconvenient to carry too much cash on your body, and it is easy to be discovered.
The two hit it off. Luo Lan didn't want to waste her time too much, so she took the money and signed it as a ticket. She happily went out with the 200 taels of silver.
At the door of the pawnshop, Yuan Feng looked at her back with deep meaning in his eyes. He turned to the waiter in the store and said:
"Find someone, follow her and see where she goes."
The waiter responded and stepped back.
Luo Lan got the money, inquired about the location of the Renya Market, and rushed to it quickly.
If she wants to survive in the huge palace, how can she succeed without a few capable people around her? This is also the reason why she is eager to leave the house and exchange money.
In ancient times, the poor and sinners were enclosed in cages like animals, allowing them to trade in the rich.
As soon as Luo Lan entered Renya Market, someone came over to talk to him, "Girl, are you buying male or female? I have all kinds of things, and they are all from wealthy families."
Luo Lan looked at him. The man looked very vulgar. The two beards on the corner of his mouth were particularly eye-catching, and his shrewd little eyes were shining with sinister gazes.
Only someone like her can do this kind of human trafficking business.
So she asked:
"Are there any kung fu? You need two men and two women."
Hearing this, the bearded man quickly slapped his thigh, "Miss is really looking for the right person. Just now, a few owners of the house were exiled and the slaves were sold here. Come and have a look?"
Luo Lan nodded, "Take me to have a look."
The bearded man was naturally so happy that he couldn't stop. He bent all the way and took Luo Lan to a wooden cage where two young women with disheveled faces sat. They looked at Luo Lan with cold faces. Seeing that Luo Lan was coming, he looked at her with a cold look. Although he was a girl, he could see a proud look in their eyes.
Although such girls are not easy to manage, they have their own personalities. Luo Lan didn't like those girls who were timid.
So he said to the mustached man:
"It's just the two of them, how much money?"
Seeing that she was so happy, the bearded man quickly stretched out his fingers, "These two girls know some skills, and if you buy them, you will be a dead contract. Once and for all, it will naturally be more expensive than ordinary girls. Just give me twenty taels."
At this time, one of the girls in the cage stood up and stared at the bearded man, "You lied to me, someone came to ask me in the morning, and you said that each person had five taels, why is the price increase now?"
The bearded man suddenly looked as if he was ashen with a pale face, pointing at her with a whip in his hand, "I dare to talk nonsense anymore, I'll slap you."
