River Tuluo Xian

Chapter 8 lack of heart
Bypassing the screen at the door of the pawn shop, the counter is only three feet long, but the height is more than five feet.

The young man in a cap was fiddling with the abacus with his fingers, sitting at a condescending angle.

Seeing someone coming in, the young man didn't say hello.

His qualifications are still considered apprentices, but after working for a long time, he finally has some experience.

Every time those who come to pawn, they often hesitate in front of the counter.

As for the pawn shop, there is no need to rush, just wait.

Anyone who will step into this door will basically take out what should be taken after thinking about it.

As he expected, after only a few breaths, the visitor came up and asked, "Can you accept the pearl necklace?"

"Take it." The apprentice stopped his fingers on the abacus and looked squarely at the audience.

Looking at the other party's age, he is only sixteen or seventeen, which is really younger.

"Let's see how much this can be worth?" The young man in the audience held up a pearl necklace and put it on the counter.

The apprentice took over and looked at it, and said: "The size and appearance are not bad. If you sell it individually, it will cost fifty coins a piece. If you sell the whole bunch, it will count as your three coins. How about it?"

Can they still be sold individually?
Jiang Ling learned from the memories of the original owner that in the village where he originally lived, the annual income of an ordinary household was no more than twelve guan.

And this pearl necklace, just one string, can be worth three months of hard work.

' No wonder the old farmer promised so readily. '

Jiang Ling was quite satisfied with the price, so he said, "Then let's pawn."

The apprentice nodded, took a pen and paper, and wrote the voucher. After writing, both parties only needed to press their fingerprints, and the transaction was completed.

But while he was counting the money, a man with a mustache and a purple hat walked over with his belly outstretched.

"What did you get, it's worth three copper coins?" The man stroked his mustache and was about forty years old.

When the apprentice saw him, his attitude was very respectful, and he immediately stood up and handed the pearls: "A high-quality pearl necklace, the pearls are the same size, and the pearls are round. Therefore, I will count him three at the market price."

The man with the mustache kept his expression on the ground first, and glanced at Jiang Ling under the counter.

Seeing that he was young, I asked him: "Young man, do you really want to pawn this thing?"

Jiang Ling nodded: "Yes."

"I don't know where your family lives?" The man looked around.

It is a normal pawn, and it is normal to ask about your identity.

Without thinking too much, Jiang Ling named [Qingniu Village].

"Qingniu Village?"

The man with the mustache probably knew about this place, and suddenly sneered coldly, cursing at the apprentice: "You idiot, I thought you were a beginner after studying for half a year, but you don't want your eyesight to be so poor.

This mere second-class pearl is considered top-grade?The individual is very average, and a piece of two papers is considered a high price.This whole string of necklaces is far from easy to remember him, let's count him as a hundred coins. "

One hundred texts.

The apprentice just asked the price, but it was three guan, about [-] Wen.

And when the man opened his mouth, his body shrank 24 times in an instant.

Hearing what the man said, the apprentice couldn't say much, so he looked at Jiang Ling.

His eyes seem to be asking, one hundred pennies, to sell or not to sell?

Rao Jiang Ling didn't care about this little money, but the mustache's face was a bit ugly.

There was nothing wrong with the apprentice's quotation, but he first asked about Jiangling's origin, and after knowing his origin, he immediately changed his attitude.

This clearly shows that the store is bullying customers.
Bully him "young".

"Forget it, that's inappropriate."

Jiang Ling didn't say much, and stretched out his hand to return the pearl necklace.

The apprentice on the counter looked at the mustache, and the mustache was holding the necklace, showing no intention of giving it to him at all.

"Isn't it right? That's not okay, even if you are not right, this necklace can't be given to you."

"What? You open the door to do business, and you want to rob it openly?"

"Little boy, you have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. To be honest, how can you come up with such a pearl in the dilapidated Qingniu Village? Where did this thing come from? How dare you recruit it truthfully? Otherwise, I Just report to the officer and check what happened to you?"

Bazixu sneered, determined and indifferent.

Seeing his face like this, Jiang Ling couldn't help being angry.

He wanted to take the necklace back by force, but just as Ba Zixu was speaking, there were vague footsteps outside the pawn shop.

And come around the screen.

'If I do something at this moment, the people outside will probably tie me up and take me down immediately, right? '

In this era, collusion between officials and businessmen is not uncommon.If the pawn shop really reports to the official, he must be the one who suffers in the end.

"One hundred Wen, is it right or not? I'll give you another chance." Ba Zixu looked downcast.

Jiang Ling laughed back angrily, and suddenly shrugged his shoulders: "Forget it, a hundred Wen is a hundred Wen."

Bazi must see that he compromised, so he smiled, threw the necklace to the apprentice, and showed his eyes.

Mostly tell him, learn more, if you want to be the master of the cabinet, this kind of means is necessary.

The apprentice also nodded secretly, saying that the boss is very capable, and the business of [-] Wen was actually reduced to [-] Wen.

And the teenagers in the audience actually recognized it!

This pearl necklace was picked up for nothing.

After signing the certificate, the property and goods are settled.

Jiang Ling walked out of the screen with a hundred copper coins, and he saw four strong men in the corner of the front hall looking at him maliciously.

The yellow dog outside the door saw him coming out and greeted him with a wag.

Seeing the situation in the hall, the protector was heartbroken, and immediately bared his teeth, showing a fierce look.

"Hey, where is the beast that dares to show his teeth to Grandpa?"

This move angered a strong man, who picked up a wooden stick and was about to smash it.

"This is my dog, please don't hurt it." Jiang Ling stopped the man.

"Since it's your dog, then take it a little farther away. If you come closer, you will eat its dog meat." The man warned.

Jiang Ling walked out of the pawn shop, feeling very unhappy.

Although his pearl necklace was picked up at random, the ugly face of the pawn shop really made people angry.

"Wang~"

The yellow dog barked, looking straight at him with simple eyes.

Jiang Ling stroked his dog's head, sighed slightly: "There are some ways in the world, people are not as good as dogs. Why? You can also see that I have been wronged here? However, you don't need to stand up for me."

Going around to the corner of the street, on the side wall of the pawn shop, he took out a charcoal pencil and wrote the word [病] on the wall.

As soon as this word was written, the black handwriting dissipated on the spot, as if melting into the wooden wall.

Although Jiang Ling's ability to make the writing come true, he can't do it every time, but this time, he strongly feels that this word should be done.

"My advantage is not so easy to take advantage of."

Take the dog away, find a restaurant and enter it.

Afterwards, when it was only a cup of tea, the pawn shop where the word [病] was written suddenly screamed.

The shopkeeper with the mustache was drinking tea, playing with the pearls he had just got, feeling contented, but just as he picked up the tea, he saw a drop of scarlet falling into the teacup.

Like a red rose in bloom!

Looking down, another scarlet color fell on the collar, which was particularly eye-catching.

The apprentice who was doing the abacus at the counter happened to turn around, saw his appearance, and screamed: "Boss, you...why are you bleeding from all your orifices?"

Bazixu heard the words, and hurriedly touched his ears and noses with his hands, but he saw that the scarlet was blood, and his hands were stained.

The apprentice only screamed twice, and suddenly touched his own seven orifices, and scarlet trickled down from the corners of his eyes.
