Chapter 6 Exchange Money
Wenwen chose the variety she saw at the stall, the long and thin kind of pepper, which is probably more grown in this area.

"I'm choosing antiques and jade. I'll sell them for some money."

"Okay, do you want food?"

"I want it. I don't have any at home. I have more miscellaneous grains. A small bag of white rice is enough. I don't have enough."

"Row."

Li Hui came back and found some various jars made of bamboo. There are many bamboos on the mountain, and there are quite a variety of bamboo varieties. Most people in the mountains cut a section of bamboo to make a container.

After packing the seasonings, I put them in the basket, and then found a cloth bag to store miscellaneous grains such as rice, millet and corn. There are still many kinds of beans in the house, so I don't need to take them for the time being.

After thinking about it, I will take these for the time being, and I will talk about it next time if it is not enough.

Wang Yi went to a shop selling jade, which also gambled on stones.

Wenwen was specially brought along, her spiritual abilities can see through the stones, which is how the stones with particularly high quality in the space come from.

The rough stone is very cheap, but if you lose, you can count it as your own, which is similar to the modern stone gambling method.

They found a little silver, about five taels or so, from the dark compartment next to the bed in the house, which was used for confinement and repair.

He used it to buy stones.

Wenwen searched around and found two stones larger than this size. Li Hui and Wang Yi covered her, and she quickly replaced two stones of similar size.

I chose these two pieces and asked the boss to cut the stones.

They use Tuoji to cut stones by hand. The speed is a little slower, but the effect is the same. It is a simple manual cutting machine. Tuoji is a rolled stone wheel with slots on it, inlaid with various iron tools. For cutting stone, which is the initial part of jade carving, manual operation.

Wang Yi was not in a hurry to go back, he stayed there when it was too late, and just talked to Uncle Wu.

After tossing for a while, the two stones were opened, and a group of people exclaimed instantly, and the top-grade suet white jade was opened, and the color was particularly good.

In ancient times, oily suet white jade was preferred, and the price of jadeite was not as high as that of white jade.

There are stewards of jewelry stores around, and they started to make connections with Wang Yi.

"Brother, whether to sell or not, I will give you a high price."

"It can be considered, the one with the highest price wins. I am Wang Yi, the first scholar in the Spring Festival."

Reporting to the family first is not to show off, but to frighten Xiaoxiao. There are all kinds of people in such a place, and they dare not mess with famous people easily. It will cause official complaints, which is very troublesome.

"Oops! I'm sorry."

"Good talk, good talk."

The last two stones were sold to the largest jewelry store here for a high price of 800 taels.

The main reason is that the two stones are very good, with no blemishes and extremely high fineness. They can be used for carving or jewelry, and can be fully utilized. After the steward takes them back and finds a craftsman to polish them, they can be sold for 2000 taels of silver, which may be more than that.

But Wang Yi naturally can't care about how much other people earn if he doesn't do business.

After taking the money, he walked around the antique street and bought a few items at different stalls, all of which were more or less the same.

Then go to the shop and take out an antique Buddha statue that Wenwen took out.

This is the Great Qin Dynasty, and now it is King Anqing, which they have never heard of before, it should be an empty dynasty.

However, there are many celebrities who have all of them, which can be regarded as parallel time and space.

Taoism and Buddhism are very popular, and this kind of antiques can never go wrong, so Wang Yi considered for a long time and chose to sell Buddha statues.

Just now I just spent money to buy a few worthless fake Buddha statues, which are a bit like my own, but those are all fakes, and the one in Wenwen's hand is the real one.

As a rich second generation, his ancestors were also from a famous family, so I still understand this.

The shop bought this antique Buddha statue and offered it at 2000 taels. In the end, Wang Yi fought with each other and sold it at 600 taels.

After taking the money, I was not in a hurry to go back, and went to Uncle Wu with the food and seasoning in the basket.

"Uncle Wu, we're going back after a day off, please help me bring these back to my mother."

"It's done."

After explaining the trivial matters, Wang Yi decided to stay in the house in the county seat and had a few things to do.

I exchanged more than 3000 taels of silver bills, specifically asking for large and small denominations, and exchanged some silver and copper plates.

Seeing that it was already noon, Wen Min and Li Hui had already sold out all of grandma's dishes and things.

"Wenwen, are you hungry, dad will take you to eat noodles."

"Ah."

"Walk."

Wang Yi took the two of them to the noodle restaurant in front of their house, and each of them ordered a bowl of shredded pork noodles with an egg, that's all.

Eat and drink enough to go home.

"Father, how much did you sell for?"

Wenwen pawed at Wang Yi's lap.

Have you become a child? I can act like a baby and want to be hugged.

Wang Yi picked up his daughter and said, "I sold this amount."

Stretched out three fingers.

"There are so many, what are we going to do next, buy land and shop?"

"Yes, I want to buy some land. I still need to study in the county seat. The days are still long. I also want to buy two shops for long-term food, drink and spending. I will use the remaining money to buy something else. I will inquire about it."

"Ask at a dental clinic."

"Okay, daddy will go to inquire about it tomorrow, and buy a shop first. Then I will go to the academy to talk with my master, and buy a few books to read."

Studying for the imperial examination is the fundamental direction, and making money is the auxiliary.

After discussing the plan, the family also took some rice for their own kitchen as a spare, and they will eat it in this house when the injury recovers.

On the second day, Wang Yi went out early in the morning and went to the academy to find his master to ask for a few days off, and then asked the master to draw a direction for him so that he could continue studying.

After finishing these, I went to the Yazi shop, and I was looking for someone to buy a shop and land.

Buy these for now, and think about the rest later.

The tooth shop took him to see a few shops, and finally chose two big shops, both of which were well preserved and could be rented out after a little cleaning, and there was a yard behind them.

The two shops cost a total of 1000 taels. They are a small county town, and they can only go to the provincial capital if they are far away. Because there is a small wharf here, it is relatively prosperous, but the price is also limited.

Wang Yi didn't bother the two masters with one thing, and let people watch him rent it out.

Ren Yazi agreed and told him a piece of news.

"If you want to buy land, you will have to wait for a chance to buy good land. Good land is in short supply, but I have a tea garden in my hand, and I can earn thousands of taels a year if I manage it well."

"Tea garden, some people are willing to sell the tea garden. Could it be that you lied to me? I have a reputation. If you lie to me, be careful and I will sue you at the Yamen."

Wang Yi got the memory of the original owner, so the general situation here can be figured out, but it is still necessary to be careful.

"Yo! Don't dare, let me tell you that the price is a bit inflated. He is a prodigal son. The old man died. The prodigal son was contaminated with gambling and lost a lot of property. There is a large tea garden and a small hill with old tea trees on it. , that is the most important thing, but the price he asked for is too high, so far no one is willing to sell it.”

"how much is it?"
