This story tells Luo Wei that selling colored glaze can be sold to the richest man in Chang'an, which shows how valuable colored glaze was in ancient times.

Glaze is a kind of artificial crystal, and its main chemical composition is similar to that of glass, which is silica.

Therefore, it is absolutely not a problem for Lovina glass to pretend to be colored glass.

And Luo Wei doesn’t think he is using glass to pass off as colored glaze, because colored glaze is originally a type of glass.

Although in the real world, things like glass are worthless.

But looking at ancient times, before the advent of glass manufacturing technology, the cost of glass remained high, and it was natural to spend more money.

At most, Luo Wei is just making a profit, it is not considered a fraud.

The pawn shop owner was obviously someone who knew the goods. When he saw the two glasses, there was a hint of greed in his eyes.

"Can I take action on this guest?" he tentatively said to Luo Wei.

Luo Wei smiled slightly and said, "Easy."

The shopkeeper then cautiously reached out and picked up a glass from the box. He looked at it from left to right, touched it again and again, as if he couldn't put it down.

Luo Wei asked: "What does the shopkeeper think?"

The pawn shop owner said: "It's crystal clear and light in texture. It's the best quality."

Luo Wei smiled and praised: "The shopkeeper has a good eye."

The pawnshop owner showed a somewhat proud smile and asked: "The guest wants to pawn the pair of glass cups today."

"That's right." Luo Wei nodded, "The family encountered some troubles and needed money, so I wanted to pawn these glasses."

The pawn shop owner thought the same thing, if he didn't run into trouble, how could such a treasure be easily revealed to others.

He asked again: "I don't know if Kazuto wants to live or die."

Luo Wei said: "Of course it's a dead end."

The pawn shop owner almost laughed, "It's better to pawn it to death, it's better to pawn it to death. If you don't pawn it to death, how could I get such a beautiful treasure."

Luo Wei saw the pawnshop owner's expression of wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh. He vaguely guessed what the other person was thinking, and a trace of smile appeared in his heart.

I can't help but think: "You may make a profit, but I will never lose."

So Luo Wei suppressed his smile and said, "The shopkeeper, how much do you think my pair of glass cups are worth?"

As soon as the pawn shop owner heard this, he knew that the big deal was coming. He just wanted to find a few small flaws, lower the price, and then make a huge increase.

Just listen to Luo Wei say: "The shopkeeper, please don't fool me. I still know the principle of shopping around. If the shopkeeper is unwilling to give a sincere price, I will leave."

"I believe there will always be someone in Hangzhou willing to pay a high price."

When the pawn shop owner heard this, he quickly suppressed his greedy thoughts and said, "Guests, don't worry. In Hangzhou, everyone knows that I, Changhong Pawn, are the fairest and the prices are fair and honest."

Luo Wei sneered at this sentence in his heart.

Few people who work in pawn shops care about fairness.

But he did not say these words. Instead, he said with a smile: "If I didn't know that your pawn shop has a good reputation, I wouldn't come to your pawn shop to pawn, don't you think so?"

Bai Suzhen couldn't help but smile when she saw the two of them going back and forth without saying a single honest word.

Xiao Qingxin spoke bluntly and said: "Avi, haven't you just arrived in Hangzhou? Have you ever heard of the reputation of this pawn shop?"

Bai Suzhen couldn't help but pat her head, "You, if you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute."

Luo Wei couldn't help but rolled his eyes, thinking that Xiaoqing was really good at causing trouble.

But the smile on his face did not change and he looked at the pawnshop owner.

The smile on the pawnshop owner's face also didn't change at all, as if he didn't hear what Xiaoqing just said.

Luo Wei couldn't help but nodded slightly and said, "Make an offer, shopkeeper."

The pawn shop owner hesitated for a moment, considered carefully, and then cautiously extended three fingers.

Luo Wei said nothing and looked at the other party.

The pawnshop owner said, "Three thousand taels of silver, what does the customer think? This is the sincere price I can give, if it is higher..."

Luo Wei interrupted: "No matter how high it is, you can't consider it. Am I right?"

The pawnshop owner was not speechless.

He admitted that what Luo Wei said was absolutely correct, and three thousand taels of silver was not his bottom line.

But he would never admit this.

Luo Wei smiled and said: "Although three thousand taels of silver is not your bottom line, let's leave it at that. Three thousand taels of silver can indeed help me tide over my urgent needs."

The pawn shop owner immediately beamed with joy and said, "I'm going to prepare the deed right now. The customer will wait a moment."

After that, he hurried back to the counter, wrote out a contract, signed his name, and handed the contract to Luo Wei.

Luo Wei wrote his name on the contract and pressed his fingerprint.

This thing is done.

The pawn shop owner took out a banknote worth three thousand taels and handed it to Luo Wei respectfully.

From then on, money and goods were lost.

This pair of glass cups is his.

When he thought of this, the pawnshop owner almost burst out laughing.

After Luo Wei got the banknote of three thousand taels, he took Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, and Shi Shiran left the pawn shop under the farewell message of the shopkeeper: "Guests, please go slowly."

After passing a street corner, Xiaoqing slapped Luo Wei on the shoulder.

"It's really yours, Awei. I bought a cup for a few cents for three thousand taels. This is really profitable."

Luo Wei said proudly: "This is the crushing of ancient technology by modern craftsmanship. With this money, the Liuli shop can be opened. Come on, let's find some teethers now."

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, if you wanted to buy or sell a house, you had to go through Yaren.

This group of people are brokers who specialize in land and house transactions, called "Zhuangzhai Yaren", and they are issued licenses similar to those of officials.

Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing actually had no contact with these people.

But Luo Wei asked some passers-by in Hangzhou and then came to Yongji and found a Yaman.

This is a man with a weathered appearance, gray hair, and he looks to be at least in his early sixties.

But in fact, this dentist named "Zhou Ren" is only in his early forties.

Because he had been groveling for a long time, this guy always bent over no matter who he saw. As time went by, his waist never straightened again.

And there were many people like him in ancient times.

In an era of backward productivity, people have tried their best just to survive.

After Zhou Ren understood the purpose of Luo Wei's group, he eagerly introduced several good shops to Luo Wei, all of which were in quite prosperous locations.

Because the surrounding area is extremely lively, the price is naturally high.

The most expensive one actually costs one thousand taels of silver. What kind of concept is this?
