Chen Minghui gritted his teeth and said with a cold face: "They are here to sell things door-to-door. I want to drive them away. If he refuses to leave, I will ask someone to drive them away. Who would have thought that this man looks poor, but he is actually a practicing practitioner?"
.”
"Why didn't you say a word about your rude words and insults to us?"
Lu Zhu tilted her head and pinched her waist and retorted.
Jin Zishi seemed to be fair but was actually partial. He glanced at the crowd and said, "I run a jewelry store. I sell things, not buy them. We don't have to buy things if you sell them. Why do you want to fight with us?"
"
"He is the first to move! He is the first to call!"
Luzhu is confident and eloquent.
Jin Zishi glanced at Lu Zhu and asked coldly: "Then what do you want to sell?
Let me see if I can buy it."
"Do you want to buy jewelry?"
Lin Xiaodong replied.
Chen Minghui bared his teeth in a smile, closed his eyes and curled his lips, saying disdainfully: "Look at how poor you two are, where did you get the jewelry?"
"Stop looking down on others!"
Luzhu stretched his neck and shouted.
Passers-by heard that Lin Xiaodong was coming to sell jewelry, and they were all happy: "So this poor guy is here to sell things?"
“What jewels can he come up with?
Don’t just take out your wife’s dowry and sell it!”
"How can a poor person from the countryside have anything valuable on him?"
Kaneko Minoru looked disdainful and asked with a smile: "What do you want to sell?
Take it out and show it to everyone."
Lin Xiaodong reached into his arms and took out a golden-green gem.
"What is this?"
Chen Minghui stretched his neck and frowned.
Kaneko Minoru narrowed his eyes, the smile on his face froze, and then immediately put on a look of disdain, squinting and said: "Oh, it's just a piece of green tourmaline, show me."
When he heard that it was green tourmaline, Chen Minghui got excited. He pursed his lips and lowered his eyelids and said, "I thought you could come up with some good treasures. We at Jinhai Tower don't like all kinds of things!"
Passers-by also joined in the fun and stretched their necks to take a look. A knowledgeable brother said with joy: "Green tourmaline is not valuable. Judging from its size, the clarity is not bad. The market price may only be two or three hundred taels of gold."
When passers-by heard this, some were disdainful and some were shocked: “Two or three hundred taels of gold?
That’s a lot! It’s enough to last a lifetime!”
"Yes, for the poor, they will not have to worry about food and clothing in this life!"
"It's just a few hundred taels of gold. I thought I could come up with something amazing!"
"Show me."
Jin Zishi waved to Lin Xiaodong.
Lin Xiaodong gave the stone to Jin Zishi, who took out a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully, while Chen Minghui folded his arms and squinted beside him.
After looking at it for a while, Jin Zishi shook his head and said, "This is a green tourmaline of yours. It is of good quality. Based on this weight, I can give you five hundred taels."
Chen Minghui was the first to be reluctant, spreading his hands and frowning: "Five hundred taels?"
This stone is only worth one hundred and fifty taels! Give him five hundred taels?"
Luzhu was very happy after hearing this, grabbed Lin Xiaodong's arm, and said excitedly: "Brother! Five hundred taels! I'm rich!"
Jin Zimin smiled and said: "Yes, our Jinhai Building operates with integrity and will never engage in fraud. You can go to other jewelry stores to inquire about the price we give you. It must be the highest."
After hearing this, Lin Xiaodong smiled coldly: Do you think I am the one who was taken advantage of?
You will sell me the things I took out from the Deep Sea Dragon Palace for five hundred taels?
"Five hundred taels?"
Lin Xiaodong asked playfully.
Kaneko squinted his eyes and nodded: "Five hundred taels, this price is affordable enough! If you ask again tomorrow, it might not be this price."
When I heard that this stone was worth five hundred taels, passers-by were excited: "Five hundred taels?"
What kind of stone is so valuable?"
"Where did you get it from?
Why can’t I pick it up?”
"Five hundred taels of gold, my descendants will have enough food and clothing for three generations!"
Some passers-by excitedly advised Lin Xiaodong: "You can't do it anymore. Take these five hundred taels and go back. My wife and children will be hot on the bed!"
Lin Xiaodong smiled and waved to Jin Zishi: "I won't sell it, just give it back to me."
Chen Minghui suddenly changed his expression, pinched his waist, stretched out his fingers, pointed at Lin Xiaodong's nose and said: "Don't be ungrateful! Five hundred taels is enough!"
Jin Zishi held the stone and refused to let go: "You won't sell five hundred taels?
How much do you want to sell it for?
This is the price for green tourmaline, and it’s already high enough!”
Passers-by were anxious and accused Lin Xiaodong: "Don't be ignorant! Aren't you a lion talking loudly?"
"You don't want to sell five hundred taels?
What kind of family heirloom do you think this is?"
"I didn't expect you, a country boy, to have a big appetite!"
"I don't sell it."
Lin Xiaodong glared at Jin Zishi.
Jin Zishi gritted his teeth and inhaled: "One thousand taels! No more!"
Chen Minghui waved his hands anxiously: "One thousand taels?
How can a green tourmaline be worth a thousand taels?"
"One thousand taels?"
Luzhu was stunned.
Passers-by were also excited: “One thousand taels?
A stone sells for a thousand taels?"
"Why?
Where did this man get the stone?"
"What kind of world is this, that a stone is so valuable?"
"I won't sell it!"
Lin Xiaodong stared and drank.
Jin Zishi gritted his teeth and shook his head, reluctantly handing the stone back.
Chen Minghui, who was standing by, suddenly pointed at Lin Xiaodong and asked, as if interrogating a prisoner: "Where did you get this stone?
The origin is unknown! Was it stolen or dug up by a tomb robber?
This is all illegal!”
Lin Xiaodong spread his hands and smiled: "Then you go and report to the official!"
"Don't think I don't dare! I'll go right away!"
Chen Minghui turned around and left.
At this time, there was a sound of ringing from upstairs, and a beautiful woman came down the stairs. Her voice was soft, her smile was relaxed, and she was decent and calm. She said without being soft or hard, "Why don't you tell me that your origins are unknown if I don't want to sell you?"
Lin Xiaodong stretched out his head to look, and saw that the beauty had a head of black hair, cold facial features, and fair skin. She was wearing a long vermillion skirt with a long lapel down to her calf. She wore a white floor-length skirt underneath. When she went downstairs, she saw a pair of pink embroidered shoes with a waistband.
There was a jade pendant pinned to her chest, and she held a green scarf in her hand, which she rolled down.
When passers-by saw this beauty coming down, they exclaimed, "Miss Zhang Wu is here!"
"It's rare for Miss Lanyue to come downstairs!"
"Oh, I'm really happy today!"
The beauty's surname is Zhang and her name is Lan Yue. She is the new Mr. Palm Eye in Jinhai Tower. She is very familiar with jewelry. She knows all the treasures and her eyesight is very accurate. Only those who really love gold love money more. They make an exception and hire a woman to be the palm eye. She rarely shows up on weekdays. Two thousand
Don't even look at gems worth two gold or less.
"Fifth Miss, what I said is right. Look at this person. He is in rags and has such a valuable treasure in his hand. It will inevitably make people suspicious!"
Chen Minghui was still arguing, but his tone was much weaker.
Zhang Lanyue smiled, ignored Chen Minghui, turned around and said to Jin Zishi: "Mr. Jin, how can a business transaction be done without Mr. Zhangyan present?"
Jin Zishi's face was ugly, and he was more afraid of Zhang Lanyue than respectful, so he hesitated and said: "It's just a piece of green tourmaline, so I don't have to worry about it myself."
Zhang Lanyue glanced at the stone on Jin Zishi's hand, glanced at Lin Xiaodong, and smiled.
