After being reminded by the coachman, Bo Beibei realized that it was already evening.

"Understood, uncle, thank you."

Bo Beibei took a deep breath, straightened up and walked into the city gate.

As soon as he passed through the city gate, Bo Beibei stared straight at him. The separation between this wall is really a difference between heaven and earth.

The scene outside the city wall is a depression, who can imagine that the city is so prosperous?
The streets here are spacious and tidy, and there is a constant flow of vehicles. It is still dark at this time, and lanterns of various colors have been hung in front of the shops. At first glance, they are colorful and attractive.

Even in the evening, there is still an endless stream of customers in front of each store, with decent smiles on everyone's faces.

Bo Beibei stood in the middle of the street with a cloth bag on his back, looking at the more or less strange eyes of the passers-by who passed by him, and felt uncomfortable all over his body, but he was relieved thinking that he would be able to leave after finishing his work.

Suddenly, bursts of fragrance came from a restaurant on the side of the street, and Bai Beibei's stomach started to growl. Bai Beibei swallowed, walked to a relatively remote corner, and took the two steamed buns he brought three times. Five to two gnawed down.

After eating the steamed buns, Bo Beibei endured his dry mouth and walked along the street.

Bo Beibei walked aimlessly, not knowing which store would be more suitable to sell her things to?
After walking for two streets, it was getting dark, Bai Beibei stopped in his tracks, drooping his eyes and pondering, what kind of category should this thing be classified by himself, what kind of shop would accept his own thing?
Yes, antique calligraphy and paintings, as well as screens, these things are must-haves for a wealthy family.

However, these shell products made by myself seem to have nothing to do with antique calligraphy and paintings. What else is there that I didn't expect?Bo Beibei thought about it.

Suddenly, Bo Beibei had a flash of inspiration and had an idea in his heart.

Along the street, Bo Beibei found a shop specializing in house decorations, and was about to enter with a cloth bag.

As soon as the waiter at the door saw Bo Beibei's clothes, he smiled and reminded him politely: "Little girl, our store is a century-old store that specializes in house decorations."

After a pause, Xiao Er said, "Little girl, do you need anything?"

Bo Beibei smiled back and said bluntly, "Second Brother, I'm here to discuss business with your boss."

Xiao Er was stunned for a moment, he heard right, this little girl actually said that she wanted to discuss business with his boss?The tone is really not small!

Seeing Xiaoer's suspicious expression, Bai Beibei patted the cloth bag and said with a smile: "Brother, I really want to talk business with your boss, I have something I want to sell to your boss."

Judging from Xiaoer's attitude just now, Bo Beibei felt that Xiaoer would not drive her away.

"Little girl, I'm so sorry, my boss is not in the store." Xiaoer said politely with a professional smile on his face.

"Little brother, the boss is not here, I can talk to the shopkeeper." Bai Beibei didn't want to give up easily.

Hearing that Bai Beibei is here to sell things, Xiao Er looked at Bai Beibei again: "Little girl, our shopkeeper is very busy, do you think this is okay? You can show me the things first, if it is okay, I will Show it to the shopkeeper again?"

Xiao Er has seen countless people, and her eyes are vicious. Although the little girl in front of her is poorly dressed, the determination in her eyes and the noble aura exuding from her body cannot be ignored.

In the past, there were also children from rich families who sold some ancestral things after they fell into poverty.

Bo Beibei thought for a while, then took out a cow-shaped shell from the cloth bag and presented it to Xiaoer: "Brother Xiaoer, can you see if this thing can be sold in your store?"

Xiao Er took it curiously, looked it over and over again, and said in surprise, "Little girl, this is not an antique, is it made of shells?"

"Yes, little brother, this is made of shells." Bai Beibei hooked her lips, but she didn't say it was an antique.

Seeing Xiaoer frowning and looking at the cow-shaped shell in his hand, Bai Beibei said: "Brother Xiaoer, do you think anyone will want this thing?"

Bo Beibei didn't understand the taste of rich people in this dynasty, so he asked this question.

"It's hard to say," Xiao Er pondered, "How about I ask our shopkeeper?"

What they sell in their store are all expensive decorations, and they have never sold such cheap things, but this thing is expensive because of its exquisiteness, those noble people might like it.

"Okay, then trouble the little brother."

Xiaoer didn't veto it outright, and Bai Beibei heaved a sigh of relief, it seemed that there was a chance.

"Little girl, come in with me."

"it is good."

Xiao Er led Bai Beibei into the shop, took the finished shell and went into the shop's inner room.

This decoration store is very large, at least hundreds of square meters. Looking at the decorations passing by in the store, Bai Beibei's eyes were wide open.

There are many kinds of decorations in the shop, such as wood, jade, ceramics, metal, etc. Bo Beibei is dazzled by seeing it. It is undeniable that every piece of decoration here is of great value.

If Bo Beibei was full of confidence before entering the store just now, after seeing the decorations in the store, Bo Beibei is not sure.

Seeing a waiter in the shop seeing a customer off, Bo Beibei stepped forward and asked, "Second Brother, how much is the jade plate that customer bought just now?"

"The jade plate decoration is 400 taels."

"400 taels?!" Bo Beibei gasped, unable to calm down anymore.

As far as she knows, a catty of brown rice is only five or six Wen, a catty of refined rice is only thirty Wen, and a thousand Wen is one tael of silver, 400 taels. What kind of concept is this?
"Yes, the original price is 500 taels, but this customer is a regular customer in the store, and he got a [-]% discount." The second boy knew that Bai Beibei was brought in by his colleague, so he patiently explained to Bai Beibei road.

Bai Beibei swallowed, and asked in a weak voice: "Little brother, how much is the cheapest decoration in your store?"

"The cheapest one is the golden silk wood incense table in the corner, 260 taels." Xiaoer said: "Originally, this incense table was more than this price, but our boss found that the workmanship of this incense table is not very good, so he decided to sell it cheaply." sold."

260 taels still cheap? !
Bo Beibei didn't know how to answer the conversation.

"Second brother, can you give me a glass of water?" Bo Beibei suddenly asked in embarrassment. She drank a bowl of tea in the tea room in the morning and just ate two steamed buns. Her mouth is dry now.

"Wait, I'll pour it for you."

Xiaoer said, he went to the inner room and poured a cup of warm water for Bai Beibei.

"Thank you, little brother." Looking at the exquisite water cup in the little second-hand bag, Bai Beibei stretched out his hands and took it carefully.

Bai Beibei was sure that even if she was sold, the money would not be enough to buy this cup.

After Bai Beibei finished drinking the water, Xiao Er who brought her in came out from the inner room.
