Siheyuan: My wife is Xu Huizhen

Chapter 91 New Skill Appraisal

The staff explained that the class division was based on the living conditions three years before liberation. At that time, He Yuzhu's family of three only had three houses, which was far from the level of a small owner.

He Daqing is just a chef. Although he can cook Tan's food, he is still an employee of a wealthy family and is just a servant.

Now He Yuzhu understands, just like the protagonist Xu Fugui in "Alive", although he was a landlord when he was a child and his family was rich, but later his family fell into poverty and became a poor household, which can only be regarded as a poor peasant.

This is a class division, and there is no room for sloppiness. As for He Yuzhu's sudden increase in real estate, it is because he actively responded to the national policy and handed over a large amount of gold.

Most people know that although the Kuomintang was defeated, it used planes and ships to transport a large amount of antiques, gold and silver before leaving.

Everything that could be transported away was not spared.

What is left is a country that is completely impoverished.

At present, the RMB issued by the state is not recognized internationally, and only gold and silver can be used for international transactions.

Therefore, the state encourages private citizens to exchange gold and silver to banks and purchase urgently needed supplies internationally.

There are various preferential policies for handing over gold. It is normal for He Yuzhu to exchange a large yellow croaker for a house. His superiors will not pursue the extra house.

He Yuzhu's family composition will not be easily changed.

He Yuzhu just asked this question. In this world, owners big and small are still treated very favorably.

The most obvious example is Chen Xueru. She is a big business owner with her own storefront and residence. However, the public-private partnership was smoothly carried out. Nothing happened during the entire 10 years. By the time [-] years later, the shop was still open. Back in her own hands.

"Thank you, comrade."

He Yuzhu came out with the house deed, Hetian Zao greeted him, and walked out of the military control meeting and returned to the courtyard.

Since he made the big yellow croaker public in such a high-profile manner, many people must be watching him, so now He Yuzhu needs to reveal the news that he exchanged gold for a house as soon as possible.

If those people thought they had a lot of cash in their hands, wouldn't they be causing trouble for themselves?

The best publicity is to tell the people in the courtyard and let them know that they have exchanged gold for real estate.

In this way, if the news spreads, others will not want to come over and harm you in the middle of the night.

After all, they don't know where the house deed is hidden, and they may not be able to find it even if they kill themselves.

As long as he is not shot to death directly, he is not afraid of anyone who comes. The guns in his space are loaded and can be taken out and fired at any time.

Entering the courtyard, He Yuzhu was surrounded by aunties.

Liu Genniang asked: "Zhuzi, you bought a Buddha statue yesterday with four large yellow croakers hidden inside it?"

"Yes, I handed over the big yellow croaker to the Military Control Commission."

"Really, I thought it was a rumor." Aunt Yan said sourly.

Anyone who hears such news will feel jealous and always wonder why that person can't be me.

He Yuzhu said: "How can it be a rumor? Of course it is true. I exchanged gold for a shop."

He Yuzhu said, taking out the house deed and showing it to everyone.

"Is this the house on the other side of Yandai Xiejie?"

"Hey, that house is so valuable."

"Yes, it costs more than 3000."

"You said it's less. There are no houses over there priced at less than 4000."

"It's so expensive."

Everyone was talking about how much the house was worth.

Mrs. Zhang happened to go out to buy groceries and came back. When she saw He Yuzhu taking out the house deed and circulating it to everyone, her eyes were filled with jealousy.

Why didn't such a good thing happen to me?

Everyone praised He Yuzhu's good luck one by one against their will. In a blink of an eye, He Yuzhu saw Mrs. Zhang's face turned pale with anger, and next to her was Aunt Yi who looked unkind.

He Yuzhu shook the house deed in his hand and said, "Uncle Xu is the best man in the courtyard. He knows that he has such great benefits, so he gave them to me."

"Is there anything about your uncle Xu involved in this?"

Aunt Yi asked.

The rumors I heard today were all about Shazhu buying a Buddha statue, then smashing it open and four large yellow croakers falling out.

There is no rumor that Xu Wood will play a role.

He Yuzhu said: "I only know how to flip a spoon, and I don't know how to look at antiques. This is all thanks to Uncle Xu."

He Yuzhu said it from beginning to end, of course, but the facts were slightly different, and he deliberately placed all the credit on Xu Wood's head.

If there was no inner game between the two parties, the credit would indeed belong to Xu Wood.

Although He Yuzhu lives in Yandai Xiejie, he is not interested in antiques yet. He knows that nine out of ten of these things are fakes, and now is not the time to buy antiques.

We have to wait until the end of the 50s or the early 60s, when everyone has no money to eat, and antiques are at their cheapest at that time.

All the treasured goodies were taken directly to the night market, hoping to exchange them for three to five kilograms of food.

That was the best time to collect antiques, and since [-], many people wanted to smash the antiques they collected at home to pieces, even if they gave them away.

When that time comes, it won't be worth anything and you can exchange it back for just a few coins.

It's just unlucky now that Xu Wood wants to plot against him, but he can only suffer the loss of being dumb.

However, He Yuzhu was very grateful to Xu Wood. After all, it was the other party who gave him a store.

Here He Yuzhu praised Xu Wood as a flower, wishing he could offer it as a Buddha statue, and then beg him to help him make a fortune.

Xu Wood must have noticed the difference in the Buddha statue.

"Isn't that right? Lao Xu is just a fan of antiques. How can he have such a good eye?" Yan Bugui said from behind.

He Yuzhu said: "Uncle Xu may not have very good vision, but he is lucky. Otherwise, there are dozens of stalls selling antiques in Yandai Xiejie. Why could he bring me to that stall?"

"There were dozens of antiques in that stall, why did Uncle Xu instruct me to buy that Buddha statue?"

In fact, the Buddha statue that He Yuzhu bought was not directed by Xu Wood, but the fact was not important at this time. He Yuzhu wanted to put good luck on Xu Wood's head.

"Facts speak louder than words. I know nothing about antiques. How could I have bought that Buddha statue without Uncle Xu's guidance?"

Yan Bugui was surprised. Although what He Yuzhu said was very reasonable, he knew that Xu Wood had sores on his head and pus on his feet. He was a bad person.

If Xu Wood was so kind, the sun would really be rising in the west.

Yan Bugui was still quite sober, but everyone else was confused. Yes, this Xu Wood might have really done a good deed.

The purpose of He Yuzhu's visit today was to let everyone know that he had exchanged the big yellow croaker for real estate, and also put 150 yuan into it, so that they would not think that he had a large amount of cash and come here to borrow money.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, he went back directly.

Now there was a lot of discussion in the courtyard, and soon the news spread that the four big yellow croakers of Shazhu had changed their houses.

When He Yuzhu came to the tavern, people from the neighbors came to congratulate him, especially Boss Su who was diagonally opposite.

Boss Su is in the grain and oil business. He has saved a lot of grain at home and made a fortune last year.

He Yuzhu invited people in, served fragrant tea, and was polite at first. Boss Su congratulated him and talked about the difficulties of doing business, and then he said: "My brother showed off his power yesterday and actually made four large yellow croakers in one fell swoop. Now we are in the process of doing business." It's a time of drought, and my brother's money is all in food, so I want to find you to borrow some cash to make a living."

Seeing that He Yuzhu's face was as usual, without any surprise, he continued: "Brother, don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know how to quit. How about I give you a penny of interest?"

He Yuzhu smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Su, it's not that I don't want to lend it to you. I have handed over this big yellow croaker to the Military Control Commission. I paid more than 100 yuan in exchange for this property."

He Yuzhu was extremely grateful to himself. Fortunately, he had changed his property. Otherwise, he would have offended many people just to deal with these people who borrowed money.

When someone suddenly gets a large sum of cash, there is always someone who wants to open his mouth and borrow some, and that's fine if it's someone else, but shopkeeper Su is the shrewdest. There is a big house outside the city where he has stored a lot of food. Last year's food crisis I made a lot of money.

In the past, grain merchants were the worst. They stocked up a large amount of grain when it came out and sold it at a high price when the supply was low. This was still a normal operation.

The most irritating thing is that in good years, a large amount of grain is stored, and in a disaster year, when there is no food to eat, the old grain in hand is sold at the highest price.

What He Yuzhu hates the most is this kind of people who are unkind for the sake of wealth. Capitalists only suck blood slowly. This is worse than capitalists. They don't care about the life and death of others. In bad years, they can make a fortune.

Just after the founding of the People's Republic of China last year, due to a plague in the Northeast, food from the Northeast could not come over, and the war was still going on in the South, which led to a shortage of food in Sijiu City.

Within a year, the price of food skyrocketed several times, with the highest increase being tenfold.

This led to a sharp depreciation of the RMB, otherwise there would not be an exchange rate of 49 yuan for one yuan. You must know that in [-], one yuan, two yuan, and five yuan banknotes were issued.

Although Shopkeeper Su is not a particularly big grain merchant, he made a lot of money last year. Fortunately, he was alert and stopped in time, so he was not liquidated.

Of course, He Yuzhu knew all these things through chats with neighbors. The boss of the grocery store, Zhao, once reminded He Yuzhu to be careful about Shopkeeper Su.

Shopkeeper Su said in surprise: "You traded the big yellow croaker for this facade?"

"Yes, the current world is not good, and the value of money has depreciated too much. I can't ask for banknotes, so I changed the house deed. Now this house is my own."

"I'm sorry, I really don't have any money on hand to lend to Brother Su."

"It's a pity, a pity."

Shopkeeper Su said: "It's okay, Brother He. I was abrupt and came at the wrong time."

Even though he couldn't borrow money, Shopkeeper Su didn't leave immediately, but stayed to chat.

He Yuzhu asked: "Brother Su, do you think the food supply can continue to increase?"

"It's hard to talk about this."

Shopkeeper Su said: "I'm just a small businessman, and I buy food from outside the city. I just want to buy more goods to prepare. As for whether the price will increase or not, it's hard to say now."

"Well, if the price goes up, my bun shop will be hard to run." He Yuzhu sighed.

"Yeah, it's too difficult to do business now."

He Yuzhu asked in a roundabout way several times, but could not get any definite information.

He Yuzhu quickly asked the other party to send two tons of white flour and some cornmeal at the current going price, and also bought a lot of miscellaneous grains.

He Yuzhu's house was rented for less than two months, and some of the rent was refunded, which was used to stockpile grain.

In addition to some daily expenses, all the money I earned was used to buy food and raw meat.

There is already a lot stored in the space, and only one side weighs several thousand kilograms.

However, He Yuzhu doesn't want to move these things and must prepare for the future bill era.

In He Yuzhu's view, no matter how much preparation is made now, it is not enough.

After chatting for a while, shopkeeper Su stood up to say goodbye, and He Yuzhu sent him outside the door.

Turning back, Xu Huizhen asked: "Are you here to borrow money too?"

"Yeah, this is the fifth one today."

Fortunately, He Yuzhu has only been open for a relatively short period of time. Apart from a few nearby shops, he is not familiar with the ones further away, and it is difficult for others to come to borrow money.

"Thankfully you exchanged the money for a house, otherwise you would have offended someone whether you borrowed it or not."

"Yeah, you can't have money on your hands at this time."

In the past two years, I have learned to exchange money for gold and silver, or store supplies to cope with the skyrocketing prices that will happen at any time.

Ordinary people don't have much money, and the market is in a dilemma of shortage of supplies.

But these have nothing to do with He Yuzhu. After dealing with these shameless neighbors who came to borrow money, He Yuzhu can have time to do his own things.

For example, He Yuzhu's wrestling has reached the fifth level, and several of his fellow apprentices are no longer his opponents, which means they are even worse against Tiedan.

However, He Yuzhu is confident that he can defeat Tiezhu in just a year and a half.

Practicing wrestling is just to strengthen the body and lay the foundation for learning martial arts, but I haven't found a way to practice martial arts for a while.

For He Yuzhu, even playing with the furniture is more fun than cooking. Carpentry upgrades are slow and he has just reached level 4.

However, this level has already entered the medium level. He Yuzhu is already very good at making ordinary furniture, and is no worse than those professional carpenters.

He Yuzhu now only cooks at most six tables of food a day. The rest of the time is either practicing carpentry or going out to teahouses to drink tea and listen to operas.

I lived a free and easy life when I was little.

But now Xu Wood was being roasted on the fire by He Yuzhu, and he was in dire straits.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard after get off work from the factory, Yan Bugui started chatting about antiques.

Xu Wood knew well that his level was limited, that is, he knew more than ordinary people. Before this, he wanted to trick He Yuzhu and get the 50 yuan back, but who knew that He Yuzhu changed his house.

How dare Xu Wood agree to Yan Bugui's request to go see antiques together? He just said a few words and entered the yard.

Yan Bugui said bitterly: "What's there to be proud of? I just know how to look at antiques, and my tail is raised to the sky." He Yuzhu finished cooking the dishes in the evening and sent the herbs to him, so he washed his hands and went to the lobby in front. Xu Huizhen asked: "Have the dishes upstairs been cooked?"

"Well, we're all alive."

Xu Huizhen suddenly said: "How about we go shopping?"

He Yuzhu asked: "Why are you thinking about visiting the night market again?"

Although the two of them opened a store here, they didn't usually go shopping. After all, they had to take care of the store's business at night. When the business here ended, it was already around 10 o'clock, and there weren't many people hanging around there.

Xu Huizhen just said: "I want to go shopping today, will you go with me?"

"Okay, of course I have to accompany you. What if someone else picks it up?" He Yuzhu said with a smile.

Xu Huizhen's pretty face was slightly red, and she gave He Yuzhu a clean eye.

After a while, Vanilla came over. Xu Huizhen told her to guard the tavern, and then pulled He Yuzhu out eagerly.

Vanilla stamped her foot angrily: "You won't even take me there."

Senior sister Hong Jinyan said with a smile: "How about you go too and I'll guard you?"

"Forget it, I don't want to be a light bulb."

Vanilla said angrily: "Humph, I knew you were asked to guard the tavern, but you were not asked to guard it, because you didn't want me to follow you."

Hong Jinyan didn't have much to say, she just smiled and continued working.

"Why is the night market here today much busier than usual? Is it because the weather has cooled down and everyone has come out?"

Xu Huizhen looked at the endless flow of people in front of her. There were more people than usual at the night market, and more than half of them were out.

He Yuzhu said: "The key is that you picked the wrong day. There was such a big commotion yesterday, and people who don't usually come here also came. Look, those people are from our compound."

He Yuzhu stretched out his hand and pointed. The pile was Yi Zhonghai, with bangs, and seven or eight women, surrounded by Xu Wood, who looked bitter.

Although Yan Bugui's request to go to the night market was rejected, after dinner, Lao Yi, Lao Liu and others invited Xu Wood to go to the night market.

Xu Wood couldn't refuse the hospitality, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and was dragged out to play by a few people.

Xu Huizhen said in surprise: "Really, no wonder there are so many people tonight. Let me tell you, there are a lot more people drinking in our tavern tonight."

He Yuzhu pulled Xu Huizhen forward and came to the opposite side of the three uncles. Then he said with a smile: "Uncle Xu, thank you so much yesterday. If you hadn't let me buy that Tang Dynasty Buddha statue, I wouldn't have been able to pick up the four big ones." Yellow croaker!"

Xu Wood couldn't help but twitching his face. Are these human words?This is like taking a knife and stabbing yourself in the heart.

I obviously didn't buy that Buddha statue myself. I just ordered a few randomly at that time, and the Buddha statues were not included among them.

But on this occasion, if Xu Wood argued that he didn't let him buy the Buddha statue, wouldn't it look like he was incompetent? After all, he still wanted to wait for a while and continue to fool He Yuzhu.

Of those 50 yuan, I only got ten yuan back, and I have to continue to trick the fool.

Xu Wood said with a smile: "Zhuzi, you're too polite to tell the truth, I'm not sure, I'm only [-]-[-]% sure, but I still have to support my family, so I don't have spare money to buy antiques."

This was his humble speech, but it was different when it was heard by Yi Zhonghai and others.

5% or 6% sure?Doesn’t that mean if you buy two, one of them will be authentic?

Even if the success rate is lower, you can still guarantee that if you buy three antiques, one of them will be authentic.

He Yuzhu smiled and said: "You are so humble. Take me to the night market again when you have time. I suddenly discovered that I like antiques."

Xu Wood felt happy, as long as Silly Zhu likes him, he will have the opportunity to continue to cheat him in the future.

Otherwise, if I am deceived, when can I get my 50 yuan back?
After saying a few polite words, He Yuzhu did not go shopping with them. After two staggers, He Yuzhu continued to hold Xu Huizhen's little hand and walked forward.

Xu Huizhen said shyly: "Brother Zhuzhu, will you let me go?"

He Yuzhu said: "There are too many people here. I'm afraid I won't be able to find you if I let go."

There were a lot of people at the moment, so Xu Huizhen let He Yuzhu hold her little hand and walk forward.

Xu Huizhen asked slowly: "Brother Zhuzi, at which stall did you buy the directions yesterday? Let's go and have a look?"

"Okay, it's not far ahead."

Soon the two of them arrived at yesterday's location, but there was no one setting up a stall at this location. They looked around and found no one from Ge Yusuo.

Next to it is a shop selling second-hand jewelry, mainly beads, headwear, earrings, bracelets, etc. There are silver, jade, and brass, but there is no gold jewelry.

The two squatted down, Xu Huizhen was picking at the stall, and He Yuzhu asked: "Brother, why didn't the owner of the Buddha statue sell his stall today?"

He Yuzhu thought that his stall was very successful yesterday, selling Buddha statues with large yellow croakers, and today's business will definitely be very good.

After all, people have a herd mentality when buying things. They think that if they take good care of the stalls, sales will be higher.

The stall owner looked at it and asked, "Is this the Buddha statue you bought yesterday?"

"Yeah, I wanted to come over and thank you today, but who knew he wouldn't show up today."

I just gave Xu Wood a high hat and wanted to talk to the stall owner.

"It's useless to mention him. You don't even know what he went through yesterday."

"How come, brother, come and tell me." He Yuzhu asked.

When the stall owner saw that Xu Huizhen was carefully choosing and there might still be hope of making a deal, he said, "Let me tell you, the two of us live in an alley not far away, at midnight last night."

"How's it going? What happened?" Chatting also needs to be flattering, otherwise it will be meaningless if a person talks dryly.

The stall owner said: "The Buddha statues he sold contained gold bars. Rumors spread throughout the market. Yesterday, a gangster found out where his house was and climbed over the wall and got in at midnight."

"Oh, this man was too bold. What happened next?"

"They were holding bright bayonets in their hands. Lao Ge was so frightened that all the porcelain in his house was smashed to pieces. Not to mention the gold bars, there was not even a hair on it."

"Ah~" Xu Huizhen exclaimed in surprise.

"This little guy is too bold." He Yuzhu said.

"Who says it's not the case? Although Lao Ge used porcelain from the Republic of China to fool people, he still has a lot of Ming and Qing porcelain at home."

He Yuzhu also believed this. After all, he was in this industry and always had a few genuine items in his hands. He said, "Did they all get smashed?"

"Those gangsters are just sticks. They don't know what is true and what is false. Of course they smashed them all. Not even a copper coin was found."

"What then?"

"Later, Ge Yusuo was beaten up. All the wealth he had accumulated in the past few years was robbed, and then he had nothing."

"Isn't this too tragic?" He Yuzhu was surprised that public security was so bad at this time.

Think about it, at this time, there are many bandits and villains left over from the old society, and there are also many defeated soldiers. When they encounter an opportunity to make money, they bring their swords and make a single vote, and they can make a lot of money.

It is difficult to identify criminal suspects who have no grievances in the past and no grievances in the recent past. After all, they all commit crimes on the fly and do not involve grudges or grudges.

It is extremely difficult to arrest someone.

Fortunately, I publicized it so much that four large yellow croakers were sent to the Military Control Commission. Today, I also exchanged the large yellow croakers for a house.

Otherwise, I would have been targeted by them last night.

"Isn't this miserable? After they left, another group of people came. When they saw that the house was full of broken porcelain, they knew they were late. Then they beat up Lao Ge severely. They really couldn't find any money. , I let him go, and now he is still lying in the hospital, unable to even pay for medical treatment."

this?He Yuzhu guessed the beginning but not the end. Fortunately, the same group of people got Ge Yusuo's deposit. This second group of people became angry and couldn't get the money. They had to beat them up. They all beat them up. be hospitalized.

He Yuzhu let out a long sigh, this is really karma.

I had guessed before that Xu Wood was cooperating with the stall owner to set up a trap for him. The two of them wanted to kill the sheep. After all, he had borrowed 50 yuan from Xu Wood.

Yi Zhonghai is a hypocrite, and Liu Haizhong is just an official fan. The two of them are not too bad in nature, but Xu Wood has sores on his head and pus on his feet, and the whole person is completely bad.

Later in the TV series, Xu Damao was defrauded of his real estate, and Xu Wood lost his home, but Silly Zhu was kind enough to take them in.

Xu Wood got up his mind and wanted Shazhu to pay off their debts and redeem the house, and wanted to plot against Shazhu.

This man is a white-eyed wolf, and he wants to bite him back after rescuing him.

So He Yuzhu had reason to believe that Xu Wood was playing a trick by taking him to the night market.

If I hadn't had the ability to scan, I could tell that there were often large yellow croakers in the porcelain. Yesterday, no matter which one I bought, I would have been defrauded by them.

"What do you think of this?" Xu Huizhen suddenly asked He Yuzhu holding a copper hairpin.

He Yuzhu took it and took a look at it. Although it looked new at first glance, if you look closely, you can see the details. This copper hairpin has been refurbished.

I asked the boss: "When was this made? Why is it old?"

"This is a good product from the mid-Qing Dynasty." the stall said.

He Yuzhu said: "You see, you are not telling the truth. I am also a businessman on this street, and we are neighbors. You can't talk nonsense."

The stall owner smiled and said, "I'm used to it. It's true that you are not a stranger. We are all neighbors."

"That's right, you can come to my place for a couple of drinks after the booth is over! This is the proprietress of the tavern." After speaking, she pointed at Xu Huizhen and introduced him.

Xu Huizhen's face suddenly turned red and she gave He Yuzhu a rollicking look. What was the most unpleasant name for a landlady?

"Let me tell you, it looks strangely familiar." In fact, the stall owner also recognized Xu Huizhen, but his business instinct was to deceive everyone.

When He Yuzhu said this, he became embarrassed and said: "These are old goods from the Republic of China. I am using them all second-hand. If you choose them, I will give you a cheap price."

"Okay, thank you boss." Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, He Yuzhu still thanked him first.

Then he said to Xu Huizhen: "If you pick up this pearl, forget about the copper one. My brother will treat you today."

"Well," Xu Huizhen was still a little shy. She put down the copper hairpin, then picked a beaded flower hairpin, put it in He Yuzhu's hand and asked, "Does this look good?"

"This pearl flower is a bit small." He Yuzhu said after looking at it.

At this time, there were no artificially cultured pearls, and pearls were not cheap, so the beads Xu Huizhen chose were relatively small.

He Yuzhu put it down, then looked at it, picked one that was more pleasing to the eye, picked it up and looked at it, and suddenly a system message appeared in front of him:
[You have learned a new professional skill - Appraisal, level lv1]

He Yuzhu was stunned. He did not expect that he would understand the skills of appraising antiques. You must know that the value of antiques has just been liberated. Now, no matter what antiques you buy, in the long run, they will be cheap in the 90s and [-]s.

Especially some of the great painters in modern times are still alive today. Their paintings are not expensive, and you can buy one for just a few dollars.

I didn’t know anything about the antique industry before, so I rarely visited stalls when I was close by. But if I have the skill of appraisal, I will be like a duck in water and I can pick up items as much as I want.

Just now I looked at the bead flowers in my hand and I still didn’t know what they were. Perhaps after appraising my skills, I looked at the bead flowers in my hand and I had a clear understanding. I looked at the shape and style and the craftsmanship. This is a work from the early Qing Dynasty.

"I think this is better."

"Really?" Xu Huizhen looked at the hairpin in He Yuzhu's hand, and her heart was full of joy. Even if he picked an ebony hairpin for himself, he would be happy. He Yuzhu had never given anything to him before.

"It's very beautiful." The stall owner next to him also praised: "This is the best hairpin I have here."

"Come, let me take it for you to see."

As He Yuzhu spoke, he inserted the hairpin into Xu Huizhen's head.

Xu Huizhen's heart was extremely sweet and full of joy, and then she asked with a smile: "Brother Zhuzhu, do I look good?"

"It's so beautiful, just buy this one." He Yuzhu nodded and said.

"But it should be very expensive."

Although Xu Huizhen was happy, she was still a little reluctant to give up. After all, when buying something, you can't say you like it first, otherwise the price will be high.

The stall owner quickly said: "It's not expensive, this one only costs eight yuan."

"Ah? You're stealing money. Why don't you buy it if it's so expensive?"

Xu Huizhen's face suddenly changed. She only thought that a hairpin costing three or two yuan was suddenly so expensive.

"This is a hairpin made of pearls. Can I ask you for more?" the stall owner said.

He Yuzhu couldn't negotiate the price, so he left the rest of the time to Xu Huizhen. After negotiating for a long time, he finally won it at a price of 5 yuan and 8 cents.

He Yuzhu paid the money, but their boss kept saying that Xu Huizhen’s price was too low and he really didn’t make any money.

Xu Huizhen said: "Seeing you agree so happily, I regret it a little and feel that the price is too high."

The stall owner said helplessly: "I don't make any money from this, so I'm giving it to you with guaranteed capital. I've been holding on to this hairpin for a long time, but I haven't sold it yet. Otherwise, I wouldn't have sold it at this price."

He Yuzhu quickly smoothed things over, saying that he would come here often in the future, and then he and Xu Huizhen left together and continued shopping.

Xu Huizhen quietly put her little hand into He Yuzhu's hand and said happily: "Brother Zhuzhu, you bought such expensive jewelry for the first time as a gift to me. I..."

"Silly girl, don't say such things in the future. Isn't it just for spending money? Besides, this is also a work from the early Qing Dynasty. This pearl is also relatively round, which just suits you."

I don't know which words touched Xu Huizhen's heart. Xu Huizhen just said yes and was led by He Yuzhu to continue shopping.
