"The Mermaid's Tears is just a gimmick. In my opinion, this is just a piece of transparent jade, not worth much."
Although he really wanted to take down this "sea blue bead", the shopkeeper had a look of disdain on his face.
"How is it possible? This is the sea blue bead, the tears of the shark, worth thousands of gold."
Ye Chuqiu repeated what he had just said to the waiter, and said: "How could I sell such a priceless treasure unless I was desperate? My son is going to Beijing to take the exam and needs three hundred taels of silver. I don't want this sea blue pearl either.
If you give me a thousand taels and sell more, I'll take it as a pawn. When my son gets into the imperial examination and becomes a prosperous person, I can redeem it for double the amount!"
Hearing Ye Chuqiu's words, the shopkeeper sneered, "Took the first prize in the exam? What a great idea for her!"
What's more, if such a good thing comes into the hands of this shopkeeper, how can I let you redeem it? He said: "I can only give you twenty taels of silver at most. I will die for it."
"Twenty taels? With the current prices, my son's travel expenses are not enough. I need at least 500 taels. I will use the three hundred taels for my son's travel expenses, and I will keep the two hundred taels for the whole family as flowers!"
"Five hundred taels of silver? Hehe, look for someone else!" the shopkeeper sneered.
"In that case, forget it." Hearing this, Ye Chuqiu also picked up his things and was about to leave.
"Wait!"
Seeing that she was really about to go out, the shopkeeper said, "Let's do it. Seeing that it's not easy for you to rush for the exam for your son, let's do this. I'll give you three hundred taels. How about it?"
"Please add more, please." Ye Chuqiu turned around.
"Hmph, our shopkeeper is kind-hearted. If you touch our nose and face again, we won't accept your things. Believe it or not, if you leave us, no pawn shop in the entire Donghui City will accept your things!"
The guy threatened fiercely.
"I..." Ye Chuqiu looked scared, but felt that the price was too low and was a little reluctant to part with it.
"Okay, don't scare the old man." Seeing Ye Chuqiu's appearance, the store manager said, "Well, I'll give you another ten taels of silver, which will be enough for you to eat. When your son comes back for the exam, don't you say, you
Can the family become prosperous?"
"Then...that's okay."
Hearing this, Ye Chuqiu looked reluctant, but still agreed, but she held the beads but did not let go. The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Are you still afraid that a store as big as ours won't give you money?
"
After saying that, he proudly gave her three one-hundred-tael silver notes and ten taels of silver.
"Shopkeeper, this banknote doesn't seem to be a bearer banknote." Ye Chuqiu looked at the banknote and said, "This kind of banknote requires a secret order. You took it by mistake."
The shopkeeper originally thought of tricking Ye Chuqiu into giving her the registered banknote, but when the time came she didn't have the secret order or seal, so when she went to the bank, she couldn't take it out. When she came back, she wouldn't admit it.
Unexpectedly, she actually recognized the banknote. The shopkeeper could only laugh and said, "I took it by mistake. Let's give you cash and save you another trip to the bank."
Three hundred and eleven taels of silver, which was more than thirty kilograms. After Ye Chuqiu confirmed that it was real silver, he gave them the "Aquamarine Pearl" in his hand and swept the silver into his backpack.
After the shopkeeper got the glass bead, he kept admiring it. When he saw Ye Chuqiu leaving with the silver, he glanced at her.
After she left the door, the waiter said: "Shopkeeper, are you too generous?"
This is not in line with the character of his shopkeeper. His shopkeeper has things worth thousands of gold. When it comes to him, he only pays a few taels of silver at most. How can he be so generous?
"Humph, let her keep it for now. You kid, you still have a lot to learn."
As the shopkeeper said this, he walked to the back room and winked at the few strong men guarding the house. The few strong men nodded, took sticks and went out.
"Old man, please stay."
Ye Chuqiu left the pawn shop and before she had walked a few steps, she heard a man's voice coming from behind. She ignored it and instead ran away.
Based on Ye Chuqiu's experience of reading so many novels, this kind of "please stay" is absolutely unacceptable, especially "fellow Taoist, please stay" is the most lethal.
However, before he had even taken two steps, two big men wearing turbans also walked out of the alley ahead. They held long sticks in their hands and stopped in front of Ye Chuqiu.
"What advice can you give me?" Seeing that he couldn't leave, Ye Chuqiu could only stop and look at them.
"Auntie, are you carrying the basket heavy today? My brothers have done a good deed today and are here to help you carry the basket." said the two strong men in front.
"Really? Thank you so much. Seeing that you are tall and thick like my grandson, I said you can't be bad people." Ye Chuqiu said and took off the backpack directly.
As soon as she got the silver, she put it in her own space. Although it was easy for Ye Chuqiu, who had the strength of two oxen, to take thirty kilograms of silver, but for valuable things,
Of course, it is more reliable to give yourself some space.
Moreover, she felt that the pawnshop owner was unkind. You must know that as a qualified pawnshop owner, no matter how expensive or valuable the item is, he will reduce it to worthless when it reaches the pawnshop. It is impossible to be so generous.
She has three hundred taels of silver.
But the money did come into her hands. Judging from the fact that the shopkeeper gave her a few banknotes with secret instructions in order to deceive her, it is definitely not possible that the shopkeeper saw her pity and wanted to be kind.
Then there is only one possibility. The shopkeeper thinks that she cannot take the money.
Thinking of this pawn shop, Ye Chuqiu concluded that the shopkeeper wanted to take advantage of others.
Therefore, when she heard someone calling her, she ran subconsciously. However, she did not expect that there was a shortcut from the pawn shop, and those people rushed in front of her and stopped her.
The basket was placed on the ground, and the strong men were stunned. They didn't know what kind of medicine Ye Chuqiu was selling in the gourd. Ye Chuqiu looked at them, "Aren't you here to help me carry the basket? Come over here."
"
"You'd better stop playing tricks!"
The two strong men at the back approached with sticks. The two strong men in the front still looked at Ye Chuqiu with guarded eyes.
Although Ye Chuqiu is strong, she doesn't know martial arts. If she gets hit with a stick, it will hurt her. Therefore, although she looks calm and relaxed on the surface, she is actually very anxious in her heart.
"I am an old lady, what tricks can I do?"
Ye Chuqiu still stood there with a smile. When the other two strong men bent down to pick up her basket, she suddenly had two pig iron ingots in her hand and hit them hard on the head.
"Damn it, this old lady is cheating!"
The two strong men in front saw it and immediately wanted to rush forward. Ye Chuqiu threw the iron ingot forward, but the two strong men could not avoid it. They were knocked to the ground by Ye Chuqiu, and they did not know whether they were alive or dead.
Ye Chuqiu quickly grabbed the backpack and ran forward. At the critical moment, the backpack could block the flying knives behind him.
