Chapter 19 This thing, my kids play with it
As soon as the shopkeeper saw this glass bead, he knew it was a good thing, a rare good thing on the market.
There was glass in this era, and everyone called it colored glaze. However, due to poor purification technology, whether it was made or natural colored glaze, there were many impurities in it. As a result, the colored glaze of this era was colorful and of poor quality.
Such pure and impurity-free glass.
And even the kind of colored glaze with many impurities is still a valuable item. After all, colored glaze was a kind of treasure until the Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, the place where they sell antique jewelry wouldn't be named Liulichang.
This was true even in the Qing Dynasty, let alone the more distant Ming Dynasty. In this era, colored glaze was even more valuable, and good colored glaze was more precious than jade.
"This thing."
The shopkeeper looked at the glass beads in his hand and thought about how to speak. Those who have watched "The Mansion Gate" should remember this scene. Bai Jingqi took a fine leather jacket to the pawn shop, but the shopkeeper touched the leather jacket and felt it was soft and soft.
The long-haired man said: Insect bites and mouse bites, his hair is bare and his coat is torn.
They gave a shabby price, from which we can see that the pawnshop's method is to buy low and sell high to make a profit on the price difference. This is their usual method.
But this shopkeeper doesn't dare to speak casually. Didn't you see that everyone who comes in has a dick in their hand? If you are so anxious, what will you do if your shop is destroyed?
Thinking about what the shopkeeper said: "This glass bead is indeed of good quality and can be sold at a good price. It's a pity that it's just one. If there were more of them, they would be worth a lot of money if they were made into bracelets. This one is a pity."
.”
After hearing this, Li Chaosheng smiled and reached into his suitcase, grabbed a handful and put it on the shopkeeper's tray. A dozen glass beads fell onto a plate.
The shopkeeper's eyes bulged out: "Be gentle, please be gentle, we can't afford to pay for it if it breaks."
Li Chaosheng laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. The things we have here are just played by a child."
"Are you playing? Your children are playing with this baby. What if it gets bumped?"
"Just throw it away after you knock it. It's not worth much anyway."
Li Chaosheng said casually. The shopkeeper had been observing his words and expressions and found that Li Chaosheng was not panicked. He has been doing business for 20 or 30 years. The shopkeeper's ability to observe words and expressions is very good. A person's tone of voice, demeanor, and movements can all be detected.
Reflects one's heart.
And Li Chaosheng was naturally upright when he spoke, which meant that he was not lying. If he was not lying, playing with such precious glass beads, he must be rich and powerful, and such a person cannot be offended.
The shopkeeper reacted immediately and walked down from the counter immediately. Facing a real man like this, if you continue to bully someone, you are seeking death.
"Sir, please come inside and let's talk in the inner hall."
Li Chaosheng smiled after hearing this and said: "Mengzi, Dezhen, Debao, you accompany me in. Cousin, you take the big guys and wait outside first."
"Okay, be careful."
Li Chaolong nodded. At this time, Li Chaosheng carried the box and took Mengzi and his two nephews into the inner hall. The shopkeeper said to the boy on the side: "Go, go to Jufangzhai next to you and order some good snacks.
Also, if you have any fresh fruits, bring some back.”
"I know, shopkeeper."
The boy ran out and Li Chaosheng entered the room. The shopkeeper motioned for Li Chaosheng to sit down. Li Chaosheng sat on the chair. Mengzi and Dezhen Debao stood behind Li Chaosheng respectively, holding the handle of the short knife in their hands.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper secretly praised him. He was indeed a big shot. Although the three guards behind him were dressed like beggars, they had sharp eyes. Especially the big one, who had a burly figure and his fighting ability must not be too bad.
At this time, the young man brought tea. Li Chaosheng, out of caution, waved his hand and said: "Thank you, shopkeeper, let's talk business directly. My brother is still waiting outside. It won't be good if it takes too long."
The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said: "Okay, let's talk business. The young master's things are all of good quality. To be honest, I have been working as a pawnshop for so many years, but I have never seen such pure colored glaze selling for a good price.
.”
The shopkeeper said with a smile, which sounded quite credible, but he was bragging. After so many years of running a pawnshop, this was the first time he had seen such a good glass, not that he had seen it a few times.
"Um."
Li Chaosheng did not answer but looked at the shopkeeper and motioned for the shopkeeper to continue. The shopkeeper pondered for a moment and said: "Master, do you think this is for sale?"
"Sell."
Li Chaosheng replied decisively. After hearing this, the shopkeeper asked again: "How much do you plan to sell it for?"
"How much does the shopkeeper think it's worth?"
Li Chaosheng looked at the shopkeeper, who looked at Li Chaosheng, then looked at the three armed guards behind Li Chaosheng, as well as the number 30 or 50 men outside, and took the price that came to his lips.
Swallowed it back.
If Li Chaosheng came to buy things alone, the shopkeeper would dare to deceive Li Chaosheng with a cabbage price of one tael of silver a piece, or even lower. But now Li Chaosheng is obviously powerful. If he knew that he was cheating him,
At that time, if you think of some way to take revenge on yourself, your business will be greatly affected, and your family may even be ruined.
This is all possible. You must know that these days, there is not much difference between officials and bandits and the guards of big families. The guards of the government and big families take off their identity-marking clothes and transform into bandits. When someone comes with murderous intent, they are even more skillful than bandits.
, I can’t afford to offend.
"Sir, what do you think of twelve pieces?"
The shopkeeper looked at Li Chaosheng and quoted a price very carefully. When Li Chaosheng heard this, he looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, you must treat others with sincerity."
After hearing this, the shopkeeper quickly cupped his hands and said: "Sir, let's not talk secretly. If I process these glass beads and make them into bracelets and necklaces, I can definitely sell them for a good price. But each bead is worth the price of the sky."
It can be sold for fifteen taels, and this also includes the craftsmen’s fees. Look at my busy work, you have to let me make some money.”
"Twelve taels apiece, I'll sell you all my inventory."
Li Chaosheng directly gave him the price. After hearing this, the shopkeeper looked embarrassed: "This~ I have no profit."
The shopkeeper looked at Li Chaosheng but found that Li Chaosheng had no intention of backing down. The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said: "If it works, I will make you a friend. Twelve taels is twelve taels. Erwazi prepares the silver. By the way, sir, this Liuli
How many orbs do you have?"
"Hey, I came out in a hurry, so I only brought these."
Li Chaosheng held out five fingers, and the shopkeeper said: "That's quite a few, fifty. If you save some, it's enough to make a necklace."
"No, no, it's five hundred."
"Pfft~ How many, how many?!"
