"Let's not beat around the bush, one hundred taels, we'll die!" Zhang Xiaoying got straight to the point.
Hesitation flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes, "Sister, this is a pawn shop, not a charity shop. If you offer prices like this elsewhere, you will be kicked out."
The water quality of this jade pendant is really good. If you take it outside, you can easily sell it for 150 taels, not to mention more.
"The shopkeeper also knows the goods. This is my family's ancestral jade. If my unlucky son hadn't been seriously ill, I wouldn't have pawned it." Zhang Xiaoying wiped away the tears that didn't exist, "But human life and others
ah!"
The shopkeeper took the jade pendant from Zhang Xiaoying's hand again.
The stuff is really good, but businessmen want bigger profits.
"Although it is life-saving money, the pawn shop is not a charity, and it cannot let our boss lose money, right? Well, one hundred taels is too much, what do you think of eighty taels?"
"One hundred. If the shopkeeper thinks it can work, we will make a contract. If it doesn't work, I will look elsewhere."
Zhang Xiaoying knew that one hundred taels was definitely missing, but it should be the bottom line of the pawn shop.
Unless she can find a better buyer, it will be difficult to get such a sum of money in a short time.
There are so many mouths in the house waiting to open their mouths to eat, so some money cannot be saved.
Who made her want to be a grandmother?
"Sister, why don't you wait here? I'll ask the shopkeeper? I can't make the decision on this matter."
"Where is your shopkeeper? How long do you have to wait?"
"It's right behind, just wait a moment."
"Okay, go ahead."
The shopkeeper got up and went to the back.
After a while, a middle-aged man in rich clothes followed the shopkeeper out.
"This is our boss." The shopkeeper introduced.
"My boss." Zhang Xiaoying greeted.
The man nodded slightly and motioned to Zhang Xiaoying to give him the jade pendant.
After reading it, he asked Zhang Xiaoying, "Do you want to die for a hundred taels?"
"right."
"Is this jade pendant really your family's ancestral heritage?"
"That's right."
"Is there anything else? There should be a set of rules for this."
This man is testing her!
"It would be a pity to take it apart. If my wife can bring out a set, we can discuss the price separately."
Zhang Xiaoying looked normal and shook her head, "I only have this jade pendant in my hand. I don't know if there are others."
The man's searching eyes flashed away.
Maybe Zhang Xiaoying's expression was too natural and there was no clue about it, so the man said: "Okay, I'll die for a hundred taels."
The shopkeeper smiled happily and hurriedly wrote the contract.
"If you still have such ancestral items that you want to pawn in the future, you can bring them to me. The price is negotiable." The man smiled slightly.
"No more." Zhang Xiaoying looked sad, "If it weren't for my unlucky son who needed money, I would never pawn the things passed down by my ancestors under any circumstances."
After saying that, Zhang Xiaoying was so dramatic that her eyes turned red.
His acting skills were so superb that he successfully deceived his employer.
The owner took out the money and came out.
Zhang Xiaoying said, "Can you give me ninety taels of silver and exchange the remaining ten taels of silver for me into broken silver?"
The owner agreed.
After completing the pawn process, Zhang Xiaoying left the pawn shop with one hundred taels of silver in her pocket. She was so confident that she felt like walking with wind.
Zhang Xiaoying first went to buy a pair of baskets, then grabbed the needed medicinal materials, and then went into the rice shop.
Rice is ten cents per catty, and white flour is twenty cents per catty. Zhang Xiaoying ordered sixty catties of rice, twenty catties of white flour, and some other miscellaneous grains.
After that, Zhang Xiaoying went to Buzhuang again.
The clothes of the eldest girl and the second girl were patched up to their ankles, and their little faces turned red from the cold.
Zhang Xiaoying gave each of the adults enough cloth to make a set of clothes, two sets for each of the three children, and also bought a few pairs of cloth shoes.
Making money is meaningless if it is not for eating well!
Zhang Xiaoying went to the meat stall and bought two tube bones, two pig's feet and three pounds of pork. She also bought some salt, sugar and seasonings. She spent nearly twelve taels of silver on that day.
Zhang Xiaoying went to Fengyue Restaurant with a load full of things.
Wang Ren and Manager Liao were already waiting there.
Zhang Xiaoying's basket was covered with something, so she couldn't see what was underneath.
Wang Ren stepped forward to pick up Zhang Xiaoying's burden, but was almost crushed.
Zhang Xiaoying pushed him away with a look of disgust and asked Manager Liao: "Is the kitchen ready for use?"
"Well, it's empty. I'm going to say something ugly before you. If you make something bad, you have to pay for it according to the price. Of course, if you actually cook the dish you mentioned, we will also have a thank you gift."
"OK."
Zhang Xiaoying took the lead in the kitchen.
Manager Liao had already told the people in the kitchen, but when Zhang Xiaoying came in, she still received several disdainful looks.
"Guard Liao, the kitchen is a men's place, how can you let a woman in?"
"I don't know if you are here to steal my master? If something happens then, Manager Liao, please don't blame us."
"It's unsafe for a woman to enter the kitchen, as it can easily cause the meat and dishes to go bad. Manager Liao should let people out!"
…
"It's unknown if a woman enters the back kitchen? You were born from a stone and you didn't need a woman to give birth to you? You're a bitch who was scolded for being born by a woman. Why didn't your mother strangle you to death, you bastard?" Zhang Xiaoying lowered her face and retorted.
"If you look down on women, don't get a wife, and live your life with a man! Taking advantage of the benefits given by women while scolding women is a waste of life for such ungrateful beasts."
The cook glared angrily and pointed at Zhang Xiaoying with a kitchen knife: "Old Qian woman, if you can, can you say it again?"
Zhang Xiaoying's body flashed, and before the cook could realize what was going on, the kitchen knife in his hand was placed on his neck.
"Since your mother doesn't teach you how to respect others, let me, an old woman, teach you how to be a good person! You tell me, if I scratch your neck hard, can you still live?" Zhang Xiaoying stood behind him, half-smiling.
Everyone was so frightened by this scene that they were speechless.
Wang Ren's face was full of admiration.
It turns out that his ancestor is more powerful than he imagined, so damn majestic!
Wang Ren is a smooth person, and it can be seen that Zhang Xiaoying's temperament is the kind of person who will use her fists to reason when she disagrees.
He didn't want the situation to get too tense, so he came out to give Manager Liao a step:
"Master Liao, I told you that my aunt has a bad temper. Look at these people. They have to cause trouble. My aunt is doing business with you, but she doesn't steal their jobs. She doesn't know how to respect the elderly. Looking back
You have to talk to them carefully.
"Auntie, we don't have the same experience as these rough guys. They are just afraid that you will take away their jobs. Let's do something first, okay? It's getting late. If it's later, I might not be able to get back to town."
Wang Ren stepped forward with a smile and carefully took the kitchen knife.
Zhang Xiaoying stared at the cook coldly. The cook was already sweating and his legs were weak.
Zhang Xiaoying let go of the kitchen knife and walked directly to the stove. All the ingredients had been used, and there wasn't much left.
When Zhang Xiaoying started to do it, the cooks who originally looked down on Zhang Xiaoying were shocked by her fast and superb knife skills.
Zhang Xiaoying used the existing ingredients to make four dishes: braised chicken with mushrooms, chicken soup with mushrooms, braised mushrooms, and stuffed meat with mushrooms. The whole kitchen was filled with the unique aroma of mushrooms.
