After Tao Ran maximized his aura, he jumped off the carriage.
She stood in front of the shop and looked up and down, her eyes raised higher than her head, and she looked arrogant and arrogant.
The store owner noticed her and came out to greet her, but she threw the horse's reins directly out and said, "The car will be tied up in front of your store. I'll leave right away!"
Seeing that her outfit was of high value, the store owner quickly followed suit.
Tao Ran entered the shop carrying two boxes.
Her momentum and confidence were so strong that as soon as she entered the shop, the shopkeeper greeted her with a smile.
Tao Ran was very indifferent: "My time is precious, let's see how much money you can give me these two boxes of goodies!"
The jewelry and various jade pendants in the box are basically all top quality.
"So many, all sold?"
"Yes, all sold."
"May I ask, girl, where did these come from?"
"What does it have to do with you!"
Tao Ran's face was extremely stinky. He knew it would be like this. She had too many things to sell. If she came here in tatters, who would guess whether these things were stolen goods? Not only would no one take them, but I'm afraid they would have to be reported to the official.
Then the gain outweighs the loss.
Now she looks like a arrogant and arrogant rich lady, which will increase her confidence in selling goods.
Sure enough, the shopkeeper didn't know Tao Ran's origins, so he didn't dare to offend him and had to apologize: "Industry rules, things must have provenance, girl, don't blame me."
Tao Ran snorted. "I'm from the Tao family in the southwest..."
"Southwestern Tao Family?"
"The Tao family is a spice trader and is known as one of the three great families in the Southwest. You don't even know that?" Tao Ran's face was filled with disgust.
The shopkeeper immediately smiled and said, "I have little knowledge and only know a little bit about the Tao family."
Tao Ran snorted again,
"I'm engaged to a well-known family in your provincial city... I can't tell you which one specifically. In short, I'm engaged to a certain young master from a powerful family in your city, and we will get married soon.
I came all the way to make preparations, but unexpectedly I encountered a group of refugees on the road, and my carriage and my convoy disappeared. Only the coachman and my grandma were left with me. The coachman was injured, and my grandma was at the inn. I am so poor now.
Only the jewelry is left. I need money, so I plan to sell the jewelry around me and go get the rest of the team back. It’s that simple.”
Her story isn't important.
What is important to the shopkeeper is that this girl is the fiancée of a well-known local gentleman. The shopkeeper quickly started to think, which gentleman is this?
Those who can dominate a country and make spices are not ordinary merchants. If the daughter of such a family comes all the way, she will probably marry not a rich family, but a powerful one.
And this girl's refusal to say the man's name probably confirms this point.
Looking at this package, looking at this girl's outfit and the aura she exudes, I can't be wrong in my guess.
Just like that, Tao Ran casually said a few words, and the shopkeeper decided that she was a noble person who could not be offended. He quickly asked his men to bring tea and snacks, asked Tao Ran to chat slowly in the elegant seat upstairs, and ordered someone to feed the horse with semen.
feed.
"No need to bother, just tell me, do you charge me for this thing, and how much does it cost?"
"Collect, collect, collect." They are all brand new, and the other party is in a hurry to sell them, buying low and selling high, so as to make money by changing hands. Such a good thing, it would be foolish not to accept it.
"One thousand...two hundred taels?" The shopkeeper tentatively gave a low price.
Tao Ran took out Ni Hong's bracelet and pendant: "This is my personal treasure. Do you know how much money you paid for it? Who are you looking down on by giving this price? Forget it, let's not talk about it. I'll go to the next store.
"
Tao Ran collected his things and left.
The shopkeeper quickly stopped him, "I'm joking with the girl. I'll add more in one go, two thousand taels!"
In fact, Tao Ran didn't know how much these things were worth. She was just judging the shopkeeper's background based on his expression and eyes.
So facing this price that already made Tao Ran very excited, she still suppressed her excitement and sneered: "You probably haven't thought that after I finish dealing with this troublesome matter, I might be the biggest store in your shop in the future."
A customer, right?"
And this sentence is really heartwarming.
Those who trade in spices are rich! So many good things were thrown away in a box, regardless of whether they were broken or not. He felt distressed when he saw them. This shows how wealthy this girl is. Isn't such a person a big customer?
Yes, the wife of a powerful man who has come from afar will never be seen again in the future. Instead of rushing to make money, it is better to leave a good impression so that things can flow smoothly in the future.
This also gave the shopkeeper another six hundred taels.
"This is the limit. I just want to buy Miss Tao as a favor. I just hope that I can get Miss Tao's care in the future. The price I'm offering is definitely the highest in the entire provincial capital."
Tao Ran's time is precious.
With this sentence, she stopped grinding.
She readily sold two boxes of gold and jade.
Before leaving, he also put the gold and jade that was scattered all over his head and body into the hands of the shopkeeper, and exchanged it for one hundred taels of silver.
Next, Tao Ran used the same name to sell calligraphy and paintings.
"These were originally my dowry. We finally snatched them back from the refugees. Since the paper was somewhat damaged, I cut off the calligraphy and paintings for easy access. Some of the wrinkles were also caused by the robbery.
I believe you can handle it."
A bunch of calligraphy and paintings, including inkstones, paperweights and other items, only sold for more than 1,400 taels. The main reason was that it was difficult to distinguish the genuine from fakes for two of the calligraphy and paintings, so the store did not dare to increase the price, and Tao Ran couldn't wait any longer, so he had to sell them cheaply.
It’s the same at the antique shop. A few small things stuffed into sacks were sold for 500 taels of silver...
At this point, the entire car is basically empty. Yesterday’s stolen goods have basically been disposed of.
She now only has a bunch of silver coins on her body.
Well, all she wants is a banknote.
She couldn't get used to wearing these expensive clothes. She also felt distressed. The eighty taels of silver in the clothes was enough to feed the refugees in a city.
So she went back to the clothing store and called the shopkeeper again.
She wanted to take off her clothes again.
The shopkeeper refused, but the dozens of long knives and swords in Tao Ran's car were really scary, so the shopkeeper could only admit that he was unlucky. After getting the ninety taels back, Tao Ran bought more than a dozen sets of ordinary clothes from this store.
Men's and women's shirts are available in various colors, including a set of all-black men's clothing, as well as matching headscarves and other items...
At this point, the one-day trip to Taoran, the provincial capital, is coming to an end.
Although he spent a lot of money today, Tao Ran still has more than 7,000 taels of silver in his hand.
This money would be enough for Jin Gui to eat and wait for ten lifetimes, but she wouldn't be able to use it all!
No matter what, you have to spend the money in more appropriate places!
After packing some dry food, Tao Ran set off back.
She is indeed pressed for time!
She had to see how Li Dashan was doing, see if he needed help and guidance, see if he needed to fan the flames...
Besides, it was already getting late.
Rushing in the dark is risky, so it’s best to rush back as quickly as possible before dark.
Da Yin is hiding in the city. She is not worried at all that her thief will be targeted by the Qian family.
However, halfway through the journey, Tao Ran was targeted.
