80 Appreciation of Treasures: Group Pets Get Rich by Picking Up Trash

Chapter 6 Preparing to go to the countryside to collect old things

On the other side, the brother and sister had already arrived at the door of the pawn shop, and the little guy from before recognized Jiang Yun at a glance.

"The distinguished guest is coming, please come in quickly, two comrades, you sit down first, the master has a guest at the moment."

His tone was courteous, his attitude was respectful, and he even served tea for the two of them, without the slightest arrogance and rudeness before.

"Thank you."

At this time, in the back room of the pawn shop, the shopkeeper was entertaining a distinguished guest.

"Old man, look, this copybook is a good thing."

The elegant old gentleman wearing a short-sleeved shirt, named Gu Zheng, is a university professor who studies archeology. With his profound professional knowledge and vicious vision, he is quite famous in the antique industry.

He held the copybook that Jiang Yun sold to the pawn shop, and looked at it carefully with a magnifying glass.

"Yes, I accepted this copybook, but the price of 400 yuan is a bit high." He stretched out his hand and gestured four times, meaning [-] yuan.

The shopkeeper rolled his eyes and pretended to be distressed: "Old man, why don't you add more? I'm also a small business, and I finally got such an item, and I'm counting on it to subsidize the declining business."

The old man twisted the white jade bracelet on his wrist, coughed lightly: "Four hundred and five, nothing more."

Once in and out, if there is nothing to do, you will make a net profit of [-]. This kind of good thing is hard to find with a lantern.

The shopkeeper hurriedly agreed: "Okay."

At the same time, the brothers and sisters outside waited for about a moment.

Jiang Hao was impatient and couldn't sit still: "Brother, go and ask if you are okay, we have been waiting for a long time."

The little guy smiled politely: "You two are here to sell treasures, right? Why don't you let me have a look first?"

It's okay, let him have a look first, Jiang Hao took out the snuff bottle from his pocket, ready to hand it over.

Coincidentally, the two people who finished the transaction in the back room just came out, and Mr. Gu was immediately attracted by the snuff bottle.

"Boy, let me see this thing."

Jiang Hao was a little worried, and retracted his hand holding the object.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly introduced: "This is Mr. Gu, the one in our circle." He also gave him a thumbs up.

After hearing this, he was relieved a lot, and handed the treasure to the other party.

Mr. Gu picked up a magnifying glass to look at the snuff bottle carefully, and he couldn't help admiring: "Exquisite! This workmanship is really exquisite. The blue glass bottle body, the carved and hollow red agate bottle cap, and the flowers, birds, fish and insects on the bottle are even more lifelike. It's a good item."

He smiled at the shopkeeper and said, "The snuff bottle is more in my heart than these four hundred and five things, hahaha." He even gestured with the copybook.

!!!

What this person was holding was the copybook he picked up yesterday, and he sold it for three hundred. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper changed hands for four hundred and five. As expected, the middleman made the difference.

"Young man, how much do you plan to sell the snuff bottle?"

Jiang Hao glanced at his sister, and heard Jiang Yun calmly say, "Eight hundred."

For the three hundred copybooks, this person received four hundred and fifty, but she still had no choice but to carry the five hundred snuff bottle.

After listening to the shopkeeper, his shrewd eyes turned around: "Little comrade, the price is too high. You must save some soup for me if you eat meat?"

When buyers and sellers meet, it’s a waste of time for me as a middleman, so I might as well just make it clear that I can earn some tea money.

"Hehe, don't worry, your benefits are indispensable."

Mr. Gu played with the snuff bottle in his palm, and didn't even think about returning it. He glanced at the siblings, and it seemed that this skinny little girl was the one who made the decision.

"Girl, the price of [-] is indeed high, how about this number?" He made a gesture of six.

Six hundred!

Excited, Jiang Hao wanted to agree immediately, but luckily the remaining reason pulled him back, glanced at the girl, and saw her say neither humble nor overbearing: "Seven hundred and five, if it's too low, I won't sell it."

"Girl, you are quite courageous at such a young age, how about it, how about Qibai, just treat us as friends."

Jiang Hao felt that it was almost done, so he stood next to his sister and kept tugging at her sleeve, reminding her to accept it when she was ready.

How could Jiang Yun not understand, and she smiled slightly: "Okay, just treat me as a friend with the old man."

This old man is a big name in the industry. If he can establish a relationship with him, he will be able to skip the middleman and deal directly with the buyer in the future.

"Hahaha, this girl is straightforward, old man, I like dealing with straightforward people." After he finished speaking, he took out seven hundred-yuan bills from his wallet, which also contained a business card of his own.

When giving the money, he deliberately winked at the other party, and his eyes kept suggesting reminders.

Jiang Yun pinched the banknotes, and immediately figured out the clues, and said calmly, "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

After the business was finished, the brothers and sisters didn't stay any longer, and got up and left directly. In the pawn shop, Mr. Gu was also preparing to leave.

"Hey! Gu Gu, the business is over, and you just left? What about the benefits you just talked about?" The shopkeeper rubbed his hands, and opened his mouth with a cheeky face.

Mr. Gu put on his bag and strode out: "What are you talking about? I am deaf old man. What's the matter? Let's talk about it next time. I still have class. See you soon!"

The old man looked old, but his legs and feet were very fast. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

The shopkeeper was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, and kept yelling at the waiter for his poor eyesight.

The two brothers and sisters who had left had already reached the entrance of the alley, and happened to meet their mother who had returned from shopping for vegetables.

"Mom! Why do you buy so many things, I'll carry them." Jiang Hao took the rice bag and vegetable basket from his mother.

"I cut some meat and bought a pigeon. Xiaoyun thinks the baby is very tired, so she needs to eat some good tonic." Wang Mei pampered her daughter's hand, and the mother and son walked home.

The nosy neighbors around stretched their necks and looked out.

"Look! Their family has had a lot of fish and meat for two days in a row! Could it be that they are really rich?"

"How is it possible! Didn't you listen to the old doctor at the alley, her daughter is sick again, maybe she can help that girl."

"According to this way of eating, I guess they will have to pick up trash tomorrow!"

The gossiping people laughed gloatingly again.

When the mother and son returned home, Jiang Hao locked the door with his backhand, and the thief said, "Mom, guess how much the snuff bottle sold for?"

"How many?"

He was full of pride, and made a seven with his hand: "Seven hundred! Seven hundred yuan!"

Jiang Yun put a stack of money on the table: "Mom, our family will never have to live in hardship again!"

Yes, Wang Mei never dreamed that there would be a day when her family could turn around.

"Remember! Our family's success depends entirely on Xiaoyun. If your kid dares to bully her, I will be the first to refuse!"

"How could it be! It's too late for me to hurt Xiaoyun! Whoever dares to bully my sister, I will definitely not spare him!"

Wang Mei took the money and counted it carefully, and a white piece of paper fell out from it: "Hey, why is there a small piece of paper in the money?"

Jiang Yun took it and saw that it was Mr. Gu's business card.

"Xiaoyun, why did that old man stuff this paper into the money?" Jiang Hao didn't know why.

Jiang Yun raised the corners of her mouth and showed a beautiful arc: "He is reminding us that if we have any good things in the future, we can go to him directly."
