Chapter 198 Discount
After two or three days, the county government sent people to move Zhen's old dowry back from Qiao's house.
Qiao Yun was sitting in the yard, looking at the dowries all over the place and feeling a little worried. She wanted to cash in the dowries.
Zhen brought a set of cypress wood furniture, including two kang tables, two boxes, a medium-sized cabinet, a washbasin stand, and a cypress wood clothes rail.
Although the Zhen family was relatively wealthy at the time, they were still ordinary people. This set of furniture was mainly designed to be durable and durable. There were no fancy doors or lacquer paintings, and at most there were some crude wood carvings.
But it was very valuable at the time. This set of furniture alone was worth nearly 30 guan, and the remaining set of silver jewelry and satin wedding dress were worth a total of 20 guan.
Qiao Yun doesn't like this set of furniture very much now. She has the furniture mall in the game. What kind of furniture can't be bought?
Finally, she thought of a way. She put the set of furniture into her game backpack and asked Lu Zheqiu to ask the NPC craftsman to check the mortise and tenon joints, repaint them, gild the wood carvings, and then do some slight work.
Old, pulled out again.
A set of ordinary cypress wood furniture changed from red to black and turned into beautiful lacquerware.
Then she returned to the upper room, came to Yun Xuemei's table, and said, "Please run an errand for me!"
"What are you going to do?" Yun Xuemei closed the book and turned to look at her, her dark eyes revealing a bit of anticipation.
"Help me check if there is a furniture store in the city. I told him that we are moving. The furniture at home has been properly maintained and is still 80% new. It would be a shame to throw it away. Let's see if they can take it back."
"Okay." Yun Xuemei stood up and went to change clothes.
"Remember to compare shopping, and remember to mention that our furniture is lacquered with lacquer!" Qiao Yun warned.
Yun Xuemei agreed, changed her clothes and left through the back door.
About half an hour later, Yun Xuemei returned to the courtyard in a bullock cart with a middle-aged man.
The shopkeeper seemed to have reached an agreement with Yun Xuemei. As soon as Qiao Yun opened the door, he asked straight to the point: "Where is the furniture you want to sell? Let me see the quality."
Qiao Yun nodded, pointed to the furniture in the courtyard, and said, "That's it."
The shopkeeper yelled and went up to knock on the furniture here and touch there.
Qiao Yun looked at Yun Xuemei, who explained: "This is the shopkeeper of Gongjia Wood Shop, not far from our home, and also lives in the south of the city."
"Yes, yes." Shopkeeper Gong obviously couldn't put it down. He rubbed the palms of his hands and said with a smile, "My shop is next door. You can go and have a look later."
"Whose business is your family doing? The people who live in these neighborhoods in the south of the city are not rich, and lacquerware is expensive, so most people may not be willing to buy it." Qiao Yun asked with a smile.
"Hehe, you're right." Shopkeeper Gong also smiled, "You don't know something, I'm doing business in the countryside. You also know that not all landlords like to crowd into the city, and there are also big villagers in the countryside.
Really? But having said that, the quality of your lacquerware is not bad, where did you get it in the first place?"
Qiao Yun understood.
Just like some travel bloggers in the past life occasionally discovered ancient architectural attractions in rural fields when taking photos. They were all landlords' homes in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Those large houses were all carved with carved beams and painted beams. If they used furniture, they would definitely not be ordinary.
Qiao Yun said with a smile: "Well, to be honest, my family has a good relationship with Mr. Meng's family. My mother is a card friend of the county magistrate's wife. When I first moved to this yard, the county magistrate's wife introduced a wooden craftsman from the north of the city.
Okay, I made a few pieces for our family half-sold and half given away."
Oops? Is this family still related to the county magistrate’s family?
The shopkeeper's heart suddenly shivered.
No wonder such a narrow yard is surprisingly well maintained and the furniture is so good.
Shopkeeper Gong didn't dare to neglect, and said quickly: "Then let's not waste time. Let me ask directly, how much do you plan to sell this set of furniture for?"
Qiao Yun pretended to be reluctant to leave, rubbed the smooth cabinet door, and sighed: "When I bought it, it was 150 guan, and it has been used for a few months now. Without depreciation, it is 120 guan."
Come out with ten swords."
"How much, how much?" Shopkeeper Gong couldn't believe it when he heard the price.
"One hundred and twenty pieces, what's wrong?" Qiao Yun was puzzled and confused, "Don't you think it's expensive? But we can't make it cheaper, this is lacquerware!"
"No, no, no, you misunderstood, this is not expensive!" The shopkeeper was so happy that he almost danced with joy.
Mom, at seventy guan, this furniture is still 80% new. If you take it back for maintenance and paint again, he can sell it to a wealthy man as brand new. It's not a problem to swindle it for 500 or 600 guan!
This is lacquerware!
Still such meticulous and exquisite Jinpingtuo craftsmanship!
He even thought that this set of furniture could be sold even if it was placed in Jiangzhou City.
Didn't he make a big mistake?
Shopkeeper Gong secretly mocked the "non-existent colleague" who sold Qiao Yun the 200 guan in his heart. He said in his mind that the county magistrate's wife was pressing down on him. Selling 200 guan for such a deal would cost his grandma's family a lot.
.
The palace shopkeeper was so happy that he immediately took out a roll of gold leaves from his money bag, a total of twelve sheets, and handed it to Qiao Yun: "Take it, I will take this set of furniture away right away."
With that said, he directed the boys he brought to pull the furniture one by one onto the bullock cart.
Fortunately, these pieces of furniture are not too big, and the cabinets are also small and low cabinets, so it is not difficult to move them.
As if he was afraid that Qiao Yun would regret it, he put the furniture on the bullock cart, said goodbye in a hurry, and ran away.
Qiao Yun was a little stunned.
She looked at the gold leaf in her hand, stamped her feet regretfully, and sighed repeatedly: "It's over, it's over, the price has been lowered! Look at that guy's expression, it's obvious that he got a big deal!"
Yun Xuemei found it a little funny: "Do you still feel that you are at a loss?"
"Isn't it a loss? This thing can be sold for several hundred guan, but I sold it for 120 guan. Isn't it a loss?"
"But you obviously picked this furniture up for free, not to mention that it was only worth thirty gold at the beginning."
Just now when Qiao Yun opened her mouth to ask for one hundred and twenty guan without any guilt, Yun Xuemei was a little stupid.
Now Yun Xuemei knows that this girl's face can be thick or thin, and she can stretch it freely.
Qiao Yun returned to the house, took out her money box and ledger, and counted her deposits.
She has always earned more and spent less. Apart from going to the market and paying wages, she has almost no daily expenses. She has always been in and out, so she saves money very quickly. Including the money from the furniture she just sold, she now has nearly 600 yuan.
With his savings, he is already quite wealthy in Quwo County, even well-off.
If you want to be rich and content, now is enough.
But it was not enough for Qiao Yun.
She believed that when she arrived in Yangzhou, her little wealth would definitely not be enough.
Just like in the novels about cultivating immortals, there are always people complaining that the powerful people in the Golden Core stage are so scary at the beginning, but in the later Tribulation stage, they are all over the place. But in fact, as a person improves, the level he is at determines what he encounters
What level is the person?
She will only meet more and more rich people in the future.
Qiao Yun counted out the wages that should be paid to three people at the end of February, divided the money into three wallets, and put the rest into the money box and put it into the game backpack.
The road to making money is long and arduous~
