Nongmen Xianggong is a koi

Chapter 28 Bidding

Jiang Mixia and his party quickly found the bullock cart on the East Street, and walked leisurely towards the county town.

There were quite a lot of people going to the county seat, and there were people blocking carts one after another on the road. From the beginning, there were only Jiang Mixia and three people in the bullock cart, but when they walked halfway, there were twice as many people.

The bullock cart naturally seemed a little crowded, so I had to sit as far to the side as possible, with my legs drooping on the side of the board cart.

The road lasted for more than two hours, almost non-stop, and when he arrived at the county seat like this, Jiang Mixia's feet were numb.

Jiang Youcheng and Song Jingyun were not much better either. When they got out of the car, their feet turned slightly.

Jiang Youcheng had never been to the county seat twice, he was not familiar with the way, so he searched for people along the way, and finally found the most prosperous Dongcheng District in the county.

There is a lot of traffic here, people come and go, there are various shops on both sides of the street, many people come in and out, and the shop waiters greet and send them off, it can be said to be quite lively.

The three of them went all the way to the gate of Zhenbao Zhai that they had inquired about.

"This shop is really magnificent." Jiang Youcheng looked at the tall and exquisite door of Zhenbao Zhai and the gilded plaque signboard hanging on it, clicked his tongue again and again, and secretly pulled Jiang Mixia to talk, "Such a magnificent shop, He must have money, so he shouldn’t be picky if he makes a move.”

These two things are not necessarily related.

Jiang Mixia said, "Let's try it first."

While talking, the three of them walked into the shop.

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Just rush in in a hurry?"

The guy at the door reached out to stop the three of them, and then looked them up and down.

They were all made of coarse cloth and short clothes, which looked like an ordinary peasant family. Jiang Youcheng also carried a string of needlework baskets strung together with hemp rope on his back.

From top to bottom, there is a breath of mud legs!

The man made no secret of his disdain and dislike, and rolled his eyes, "This is Zhenbao Zhai, a shop selling gold, silver, jade, and all kinds of jewelry. I'm afraid you went to the wrong door?"

"That's right, I came here." Jiang Youcheng smiled all over his face.

The guy folded his arms, "What are you doing here?"

"The mussels fished out of the river have opened pearls. They are not bad in size. I just want to see if we can collect them here." Jiang Youcheng replied.

Let's just say, it's definitely not here to buy things.

Zhenbaozhai is well-known, and many people recognize it, especially farmers, who want to sell their old jewelry, and those who pick up jade from the mountains, and pearls from the river, all come here, looking forward to selling a good price.

There are quite a few people like this, and the guy is used to it, "Then why don't you take it out and let me take a look first?"

Jiang Youcheng reached out to grab the small cloth bag.

Jiang Mixia stopped him, and said to the guy, "There are many people on this street, I'm afraid it's not right, pearls are not big objects, if they fall or are snatched away by someone, I can't tell gone."

"Our Zhenbaozhai is such a big shop, since we usually accept these things, there should be someone who specializes in appraising, please take me to see you, brother?"

The buddy originally thought that some mud legs from the farmers must have never seen the world, so he fooled around a bit, bought them at a low price from these people, and sold them to the shop, and he could make a difference.

It turned out that these people were a little shrewd.

Seeing that he couldn't be fooled, the man curled his lips with a reluctant expression on his face, "All right, come with me."

After finishing speaking, he led the three of Jiang Mixia from the alley next to the shop to the back of Zhenbaozhai, entered a yard through a corner gate, and then entered the room in the corner of the yard.

The light in the room was a bit dim. An old man with a long beard was sitting behind a big table drinking tea slowly. When he saw someone coming, he raised his eyelids, "Sell something?"

"It is said that pearls came out of the mussels, and I want to come here to sell some money." The man nodded and bowed, smiling all over his face, and then turned to Jiang Mixia and the other three, "This is the treasurer of our Zhenbaozhai."

"Hello, Shopkeeper Qian." Jiang Mixia greeted.

Shopkeeper Qian nodded slightly as a response, then stroked his beard, glanced at Jiang Mixia and the others, and then slowly put down the teacup in his hand,

"The river here is shallow, and the wild mussels don't grow very big. Generally, they can't grow pearls. It's very rare for you to grow pearls."

"But it's still the same sentence, even if pearls are produced from wild river mussels, the quality is not good, and they can't be sold at a good price."

"It's the same as that ginseng. It doesn't mean that the price of ginseng can be sold at a high price because of the age. Let me remind you first, don't say that the price given by our Zhenbaozhai is unreasonable."

"Of course, we understand the truth of the price when we see the goods, but we will trouble the shopkeeper to give you a fair price."

After Jiang Mixia finished speaking, he and Jiang Youcheng pulled off the small cloth bag on the chest of the collar, took out the three pearls inside, and put them on the table.

"Treasurer Qian, take a look, how much can you give these three pearls?"

Shopkeeper Qian picked up the pearls one by one and took a look, then looked at Jiang Mixia and the others, and thought for a while, "These three pearls are not in good condition, they are not big, they are not round enough, and there are many flaws on them. If you really want to sell it, I can give you three taels of silver."

Three taels of silver?

Wouldn't it be better if he made more money weaving baskets for tea gardens?

Jiang Youcheng was immediately disappointed, and blurted out the words, "It is said that pearls are not cheap even if they are used as medicine. Three for three or two, isn't it too little?"

"Isn't that too little? Then go to the pawn shop and see how much they are willing to give you. Even if it's a death pawn, I guess two or five dollars will be enough."

The guy on the side was full of anger, "Where is our Zhenbaozhai, it has always been genuine, and the price given is the most reasonable. If you don't believe our Zhenbaozhai, go to another place."

As he spoke, the buddy wanted to drive the three of Jiang Mixia out.

Shopkeeper Qian raised his hand to signal to the buddies that there is no need to do this, but he also looked at Jiang Mixia and the three of them, "My buddy is straightforward, so don't take it to heart, but the price of this pearl is the same, it really can't be higher."

"Seeing that it's not easy for you to come to the county seat. I've never been ruthless in doing things, so I'll add another two hundred dollars to you. If you want more, it's really impossible."

Seeing that Shopkeeper Qian and the guy were a little impatient at this time, Jiang Mixia reached out and picked up the pearl again, and put it in a small cloth bag, "If you bother Shopkeeper Qian, let's go to the side to ask the price, if it's really not sold High price, we will come again."

"Success." Shopkeeper Qian nodded, but added another sentence, "But let's move on to the front, and I can sell it for an extra two hundred dollars now. If you finish asking about the price later, come to me again." If not, I can only give three taels of silver."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Qian, for reminding me. Goodbye."

Jiang Mixia put away the pearls, gave the shopkeeper a blessing, and went out.

The buddy sent the three of them out with a look of displeasure.
