After going around and around, Yi Fan soon came to the door of a pawn shop and looked up at the four big characters on the plaque, which read 'a pawn shop'.
This pawn shop is a bit old and has not been renovated for many years. The doors and walls are full of traces of time, but to put it bluntly, it is dirty. The pawn shop is located in an alley and is so remote that you can't find it unless you look carefully.
Yeah, I feel like there's not much business and no one comes here on weekdays.
Just when Yi Fan arrived, there happened to be an old man holding a small lamp and was about to lock the door and close the door. Yi Fan immediately stepped forward and asked: "Old sir, is this a pawn shop?"
The old man seemed to be in a hurry to close the door without looking back, and his tone was a little bad: "Are you blind? You can't see such a big sign clearly? The store is closed today. If you have anything to do, please be early tomorrow."
Yi Fan was quite helpless and thought to himself: "How can this happen? If I don't get rid of the beast elixir of Broken Gold Blood Pattern Wolf quickly, I will really be sleeping on the street today."
After thinking for a moment, Yi Fan felt a little embarrassed and stepped forward: "Old sir, I was introduced by Brother Yu. Can you be accommodating?"
The old man suddenly became interested when he heard this, and turned around and said, "Brother Yu? Are you talking about the Yu Ling Zheng?"
"Exactly."
Once confirmed, the old man quickly opened the door, put on an amiable look, and politely invited Yi Fan into the store.
Yi Fan was overjoyed to see the other party's sudden change of attitude. He didn't expect that Yu Lingzheng's name could still be of some use. Just when he was admiring him, suddenly there was a loud "pop" sound, and the door closed very quickly, as if it was closed quickly.
He seemed afraid that Yi Fan would slip away.
Yi Fan was shocked and felt something was wrong: "Old sir, why is this?"
As he spoke, a big foot was already imprinted on his chest. The old man said nothing and was thinking about his calculations. After a while, he said, "Boy, do you know Yu Lingzheng?"
"I know you." Yi Fan was at a loss. After thinking about it, he quickly changed his words and said, "Who is Yu Lingzheng? I have never heard of him and I don't know him."
The two statements before and after proved that Yi Fan was guilty, but the old man didn't believe it. He nodded to the abacus, put it on the table for Yi Fan to see, and said: "Since you know Yu Lingzheng, then the debt he owes me is your responsibility."
Come and pay back. If you can't pay back, then write a letter and ask that little bastard to bring money to save you."
Yi Fan couldn't help but said: "Wow!" He had some admiration for Yu Lingzheng just now, but now he has become the scapegoat.
Looking back on the past, when Yu Lingzheng was introducing the scenery of Longshan City, the shopkeeper of "a pawn shop" he mentioned many times was a good person. He kept brainwashing the two brothers, saying that if he had the chance to pass by Longshan City, he must go and have a look.
The old shopkeeper has wide access and can help with many things.
But what happened now? It turned out that he was thinking that his brothers would pass by and help him pay back the money!
Yi Fan suddenly realized that he was angry, but it was nothing to help his brother pay back the money. He looked at the old man and asked: "How much does that guy owe?"
"It's not much. It's only eight hundred and thirty taels of silver with interest. I'll charge you the whole amount. Just give me eight hundred taels." The old man shouted loudly. It seemed that he had been worried about this account for so many years.
Just wait for this moment.
Hearing this, Yi Fan burst into laughter, completely forgetting that he was penniless, thinking that he was still the young master of the Yi family, thinking that eight hundred taels was not a big sum at all.
Seeing him smile, the old man also laughed, thinking that the debt that could not be recovered in a few years could be settled today, and the more he thought about it, the happier he became.
After a while, Yi Fan came back to his senses, his smile gradually became lighter, until finally he stopped smiling at all and said softly: "I have no money."
The old man was stunned, thinking that this kid was sick and had no money. Why was he laughing so loudly? He suddenly got angry and said, "No money? If you don't have money, just write a letter. Anyway, you can't recycle these eight hundred taels. You don't want to go anywhere."
Seeing how angry the old man was, Yi Fan let out a long sigh, and a blood-red ball of light suddenly appeared in his hand, saying: "Old sir, I don't have anything else, but this beast pill, do you think how much it is worth?"
When the old man saw the beast pill, he screamed in surprise. As a pawnshop owner, he was well-informed and said, "Adult beast pill? You pulled it from that guy?"
"Broken gold blood pattern wolf." Yi Fan didn't hesitate and said it simply.
The old man was shocked. The occupational disease came quickly and he began to investigate: "How many are there?"
"On a."
"Where's the fur? Do you have fur? Flesh, bones, all of these?"
"No, there is only the beast pill." Yi Fan stopped giving the old man a chance to ask questions and interrupted: "Do you think this beast pill can repay my brother's debt? If..."
Before Yi Fan could finish speaking, the old man looked as if he was a madam and said with a smile: "Enough, it's really enough. The value of a juvenile beast pill will not exceed one hundred taels, but if it is an adult beast pill, it will cost at least one thousand taels."
It’s a metal beast elixir, even if it sells for one thousand four hundred taels, I’m afraid some people will say it’s cheap.”
Yi Fan never cared much about these number games. He only paid for things when buying things, and collected the bills when selling things. He rarely bargained, but the old man spoke in detail, and Yi Fan could understand it. He said "oh" and asked:
"Then old gentleman, do you think one thousand four hundred taels is cheap?"
The old man looked at the beast elixir, and the smile on his face almost broke: "Of course, I will buy it even if it costs one thousand six hundred taels."
Snapped!
Yi Fan clapped his hands happily, took back the beast elixir and played with it in his hand, saying: "That's great, I'll sell it for one thousand six hundred taels. Old sir, do you accept it here?"
The old man swallowed his saliva. Years of experience told him that the boy in front of him was obviously an amateur. In other words, how could he not slaughter a fat sheep?
"A beast elixir is worth more than a thousand taels. Aren't you a lion talking loudly?" The old man's thoughts were racing and he smiled lightly: "Yu Ling is trying to get the money that that boy has owed me for so long. I don't think it's better than this, so I will reluctantly do it.
Accepting the beast pill is considered as repaying the debt." With that said, he was about to pick up the beast pill.
Yi Fan laughed loudly and avoided it. The difference between the two statements was twice the price. Although Yi Fan didn't know how to bargain, he was not a fool. If he was cheated of 800 taels here, he would be blessed when he went back.
Ronggang smiled.
"If the old gentleman doesn't accept it, I have no choice but to take it to another store for appraisal and sell it at a good price. I will not give you credit for the eight hundred taels and will send it to you immediately." Yi Fan said with a smile.
The old man said it was one thousand six hundred taels, which was quite modest for the old man. He naturally had a way to sell it at a higher price. Having been in business for many years, he also knew how to watch people's words and emotions. Now Yi Fan's eyes were firm and he seemed to have decided to try another company.
If you think about it carefully, instead of falling into the hands of others, it would be better for you to grab the first prize for an adult beast elixir.
The old man stopped Yi Fan and said kindly: "Little hero, please stay. These 1,600 taels are really a bit expensive. If it's 1,500 taels, the old man will still..."
Before he could finish his words, Yi Fan nodded: "Okay, just one thousand five hundred taels." He thought that after paying off the debt, he still had seven hundred taels that could be used as pocket money, so he just sold it. There was nothing to say.
After the auction was finalized, the old man quickly took out the IOU for the 700 taels of cash and Yu Ling argued for it. Yi Fan was also very straightforward, handing over the money and delivering the goods, and burned the IOU at the same time. The matter was over.
When leaving, the old man did not forget to remind him: "If there are any good things next time, little hero, you can bring them to our store, and I will definitely give you a fair price." After saying this, he thought in his heart: "I can't sell it this time.
It doesn’t matter, there will be a chance next time.”
Yi Fan nodded politely: "Next time I will personally bring the price and I will never embarrass you. All you have to do is say whether you want to accept it or not. I had a great time cooperating with you today, so I'll take my leave now." After that, he turned around.
Just leave.
After this incident, Yi Fan decided to investigate the market situation carefully, not because he became stingy or stingy, but because he felt uncomfortable being treated as a fat sheep.
After leaving the pawn shop, Yi Fan shook his head with a proud look on his face, thinking that he had seven hundred taels with him, so it was time to celebrate.
Without further ado, after asking a few people, my next destination was the best restaurant in the city.
Qianlong Winery, the best restaurant in Longshan City, has a very impressive background. It is a winery run by Qianlong Auction House. It is supported by an auction house. The backstage is strong enough, so the things brought out are naturally real.
exist.
It's called a winery, and the wine here is naturally extraordinary. Yi Fan is used to drinking soft wine, which is slow but fragrant, but when he drinks the strong wine here, the burning feeling is refreshing and smooth, and it is very refreshing. Just one sip is addictive.
Not to mention the delicious food, which is full of color, flavor and flavor, making your fingers full and unable to stop.
Seeing a fierce man devouring food, everyone gradually began to talk.
"That guy is really good at eating. I've been sitting here for an hour and I haven't seen or heard of him."
"Yes, the cook is too busy with the cooking. Look, the two kilograms of beef I asked for haven't come yet."
"I don't know which young master he is. Although the food at Qianlong Winery is delicious, it is not cheap. With the way he eats, I don't know if he can leave."
"Humph, we don't need to worry about this. If he dares to eat the King's meal, there will be a good show then."
At this time, a beautiful woman came with two plates of beef. Although it was late at night, she was still very energetic. When she heard everyone talking, she couldn't help but say something in reply: "My guest, you don't know which boss is here?"
I have eaten two cows so far. If I continue to eat like this, our store will have to close for a day even tomorrow."
A heroine was surprised: "How much does it cost to eat so much?"
The maid looked back at Yi Fan, then turned to the heroine and said with a smile: "I don't know, the shopkeeper was afraid that some boss would give credit, so he asked him to pay a sum. I heard it seemed to be four hundred taels."
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard it. They had paid four hundred taels in advance. What was the concept? His half meal alone was enough to feed several families for several years.
But there was nothing Yi Fan could do. He had been seriously injured and hadn't had a good meal for a month. Even if he was full and stretched now, if he didn't make up for it all, never think that this foodie would give up.
