After all, Lu Ning made him a lot of money last time.
"I've been a bit tight lately, so I brought a treasure here. This treasure is unusual. Please help me take care of it."
With that said, Lu Ning took out a bamboo box and put it on the table to indicate to the shopkeeper that he could take a look.
When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately became excited.
While he called the waiter to get the copper basin, he said flatteringly: "This is such a treasure. You can't handle it easily, otherwise it will get dirty and wrinkled, and the customers who come and go will not take it lightly."
"Shopkeeper, the water is here."
The young boy is an apprentice, only fifteen or sixteen years old.
The shopkeeper first washed his hands, wiped them carefully, and then carefully opened the box.
hiss!!
As soon as the box was opened, the shopkeeper took a deep breath.
As soon as the eye catches the eye, there is a wooden box placed inside the box. Inside the box is an eight-inch-high, fine white jade Guanyin.
"What a treasure, a rare thing!"
The shopkeeper did not dare to take out the white jade Guanyin. Instead, he took a magnifying glass and observed carefully while stroking the jade body.
Seeing the shopkeeper's appearance, Lu Ning's lips curled up slightly.
I feel confident.
This jade Guanyin was a high imitation that he had customized at a jade shop for more than 10,000 yuan.
It is a high imitation of Hetian mutton-fat jade.
Although jade is artificially synthesized, it cannot be distinguished without modern instruments.
No matter the material or its exquisiteness, it is exactly the same as the real Hetian mutton-fat jade.
"Shopkeeper, are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied! Satisfied! This is the best!!"
The shopkeeper slowly took out the white jade Guanyin and examined it carefully in the sun: "The stuff is good, but the carving is not good enough and the heat is a bit lacking."
"If I carve it slowly for another three to five years, I'm afraid it will be another valuable treasure."
He said and shook his head with some regret.
Lu Ning wanted to laugh a little when she saw the shopkeeper directing and acting.
When the other party said this, he didn't mean to lower the price.
"Shopkeeper, you've seen the stuff, please give me a price."
Lu Ning sat on the chair, took a sip from the tea cup on the table, and said slowly.
"Change the tea, go change the tea."
The shopkeeper waved his hand to the waiter. After the waiter left, he stretched out five fingers and said, "How about this number?"
"not enough."
Lu Ning was unmoved and shook his head.
"If the shopkeeper is not sincere, then just pretend that I haven't been here today."
Lu Ning said and stood up.
The shopkeeper saw it and became anxious.
He did mean to lower the price just now. After all, the last time he saw Lu Ning selling jewelry, he had no intention of bargaining.
I thought I could make a killing this time, but Lu Ning suddenly became shrewd today.
"If the jade master had taken action, this Guanyin would be worth a hundred thousand oceans, but it's not. The idiot ruined this treasure."
"You just think it's too little. If you go elsewhere, I'm afraid there won't be many people with more than 60,000 yuan."
"As you can see, there's a lot of chaos outside now. What's valuable is real gold and silver. Antique jade is not very popular. Unless you find someone you really like, you won't be able to pay the price."
Sixty thousand oceans?
Lu Ning frowned slightly.
This was not in line with the price he had expected.
Judging from what the shopkeeper means, 60,000 yuan is basically his limit.
But Lu Ning had also heard about the depth of water in antique jade, and was ready to take a closer look: "Eighty thousand oceans, if it works, I'll keep the things. If it doesn't work, I'll go back to Daxing and take a look over there."
"Eighty thousand?"
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and smacked his palms, as if he was really willing to risk everything: "Eighty thousand is eighty thousand, just wait, I will go and raise money for you right now."
Seeing the other party being so straightforward, Lu Ning was stunned for a moment.
Good guy.
Judging from this, his 80,000 yuan is less than that. The shopkeeper still has at least tens of thousands of profits, otherwise he would not be so happy.
Fortunately, this thing seemed to be real but not real, and Lu Ning also made a lot of money.
Selling 10,000 for 80,000 is still 80,000 in this era, which is already a huge profit.
"Don't play tricks, or I will smash the stuff and not sell it to you."
"Oh, I was afraid you would run away with your things."
"Sit down and wait for a while. You must wait for me to come back."
The shopkeeper was even more anxious than Lu Ning. He went to explain a few words to the waiter and told Lu Ning what he wanted to eat and drink and treat him well.
Then he ran out of the pawn shop in a hurry.
In the store, the boy stood next to Lu Ning, respectfully waiting for Lu Ning's orders.
Lu Ning ate snacks and drank tea, feeling calm and relaxed.
After a while, the shopkeeper came back.
"Please take a look."
The shopkeeper took out a stack of silver notes and introduced them with excitement: "The Zhongshan banknote number is rising day by day. There are eight 10,000 ocean banknotes. No matter who the ticket is, it can be redeemed nationwide."
Lu Ning had also learned about the banknotes beforehand and saw that these banknotes were not fake.
"Shopkeeper, it's not convenient for me to use this banknote. Please give me some big goldfish and ocean."
"I happen to have some ocean and large goldfish in my store, how many do you want to exchange for?"
Lu Ning calculated in his mind that 30 oceans would be exchanged for one tael of small goldfish, and 80,000 oceans would be exchanged for 2,600 goldfish, which is 2,600 taels.
If you change to a large goldfish, you can also change it to 260 pieces.
One pound per root is equivalent to 260 pounds.
good.
Make a lot of money.
And you don’t have to worry about running out of gold to recharge the bracelet.
"First exchange for 10,000 yuan of goldfish, and then exchange for 1,000 yuan of cash, and 9,110 small bills. A total of 20,000 yuan."
"You have to change so much."
The shopkeeper was a little surprised. He didn't have so many big goldfish in the store now.
But he was not worried. There was a bank in the county: "I don't have that much money in the store. Please wait a moment and I will go to the bank to exchange it for you."
Naturally, the shopkeeper didn't dare to trouble Lu Ning and walked out again with two 10,000 banknotes.
When he came back again, he already had a package in his hand.
"Please see, the big goldfish worth ten thousand, the large goldfish worth one thousand, and the small bills worth nine thousand one hundred and one are all here. You can take a look at them."
The shopkeeper spread the parcel on the table, revealing the golden gold bars inside.
Lu Ning took a casual look, counted the number, and made sure it was correct: "Yeah."
The shopkeeper saw Lu Ning re-wrapping the package and seemed to be leaving, so he hurriedly asked: "Don't you know your name yet?"
"My surname is Lu, and my name is Lu Ning."
"It turns out to be Mr. Lu."
"Mr. Lu, if there are any good items next time, even if you bring them to our store, I will never let you suffer a loss." The shopkeeper promised with a smile.
"Yeah, okay."
This transaction was quite pleasant, and Lu Ning nodded in agreement.
After waiting out the door of the pawn shop, Lu Ning came to a deserted place, took out some gold bars and small banknotes from the package, then opened the door of time and space, and put in all the remaining gold bars, oceans, etc.
In the gate of time and space.
The other side of the Gate of Time and Space is connected to the second floor of his home, which is now officially his storage room.
After finishing it, he made sure no one was around and walked out of the darkness.
However, he did not go back to the town right away, but turned around and walked towards the market place.
Over the past few days, he had checked out the situation in the town and county. He already had a good idea of where to buy and what to sell.
There are people coming and going on the street, and there are many small vendors, which is quite lively.
Hang a straw rope outside the village.
Two strong men with guns stood at the door.
The people outside all avoided this Zhuangzi.
Lu Ning took one look and walked in.
After entering, I immediately saw a dozen people whose feet were tied with ropes. These people were all children.
Those who were not tied up with ropes were some men and women in their twenties and thirties.
There are even old ladies in their forties or fifties.
A lady dressed in red and green was discussing the price with a man in rich clothes.
After a while, the man led a girl away.
"Master, choose me. I eat less and I'm good at work."
This is a little girl with a sallow complexion.
"Master, choose me. I have the strength. I can cook, herd cows and raise chickens."
This is a boy.
"Master, choose me."
When these people saw Lu Ning, they all tried their best to promote themselves.
Seeing them like this, Lu Ning couldn't help but think of Ahua in his own house.
I guess Ah Hua looked like this back then.
"Hey, sir, tell me which one do you like?"
"I have everyone here, boys and girls, younger ones, older ones, those who can cook, those who can warm beds, those who can cultivate the land, those who can serve others, everything you need."
Mrs. Ya finished her work there and came over to greet Lu Ning.
Seeing Lu Ning's aristocratic appearance, she knew that he must be generous and felt that this deal would definitely not go away.
Lu Ning had money in his pocket, so he was not polite and said bluntly: "Here are three rough ladies in their thirties."
"Young maids in their teens, if you want good looks, here are four of them."
"Give me three men who are in their forties and have good legs."
Lu Ning asked for ten in one go.
"Okay!"
Yapo was overjoyed.
I'm really going to make a fortune today.
"Sir, I have prepared all the people you want, especially these four little girls. Look at their appearance, do you still care about them?"
After a while, Yapo directed a few strong men to bring the person.
Needless to say, the rough messengers and wives are all middle-aged women in their thirties.
Several men have dark skin and calluses on their hands, and it's obvious from a glance that they are good at work.
The four teenage girls all looked at least above average. Some were scared, some had expressionless faces, and some looked resigned to their fate.
There was no luster in his eyes.
Most of these people fled the famine, and only a few of them sold themselves because their families did not have enough to eat.
