A Farmer's Lady's Guide to Getting Rich

Chapter 29 29. The Silver Shop
Xin Changning is not interested in gossip, and now she is all about the hairpin.

The ox carts were relatively slow. Although the road was fairly flat after leaving the village, it took almost an hour to reach the town.

This ancient market is very similar to the market in backward rural areas in modern society. It only opens once a few days. In the area designated by the government, everything is sold.

After entering the town, Miao Ze drove alone to the restaurant to deliver the pigs, while Yang Yulan accompanied Xin Changning to the silver shop to exchange hairpins into money.

There is only one silver shop in the town, which specializes in buying and selling recycled gold and silver jewelry.

Many of the ancient gold and silver ornaments are collectible in modern times.Xin Changning bought several books on ancient jewelry in order to study jewelry design in his previous life.

There have been countless nights when she followed the pictures in the book, carefully described the patterns of those jewelry, figured out their craftsmanship, and imitated the so-called vintage jewelry, which sold very well.

At that time, she was still joking with her friends, thinking that with this skill, she would not die of starvation if she wore it in ancient times, but she didn't expect that the words would become a prophecy, and it would actually come.

Thinking of this, Xin Changning couldn't help but smiled wryly.

After entering the silver shop, she restrained her crazily urge to touch the real classic jewelry, first she asked Yang Yulan about the prices of other hairpins in the store, knowing what she was doing, and then slowly took out the hairpins.

"Brother, I have a hairpin. It was given by the elders in my family. I can't wear it. Do you want to take it?"

She held the hairpin, shook it in front of Xiaoer for a while, and immediately said: "My hairpin is brand new, I haven't worn it a few times, it's heavy, and the style is also the latest. You take it back, and it can be sold if you change hands." Three taels of silver, I don’t want more from you, how about just two taels?”

Xiaoer saw at a glance that the hairpin in Xin Changning's hand was sold in his own shop. Because of the complicated craftsmanship, he bought a few of them at the beginning, but they were sold out long ago. People came to inquire about it.

The condition of this one in front of me is very good. After taking it back and taking care of it a little, it can be sold as a brand new one.

Seeing that Xin Changning's clothes are a bit shabby, Yang Yulan doesn't look like a rich family either.Xiao Er secretly thought that their family was desperate, so she wanted to obtain greater benefits and lower the price.

He immediately said: "Little girl, you are joking. Although your hairpin is in good shape, it has been worn by others after all, so it needs to be refurbished before it can be sold. The renovation requires labor, and our shop costs rent for everyone. I gave it two taels , we have to lose money, so how about it, is it worth one or two percent?"

"Since my brother doesn't know what to buy, Auntie, let's go!"

Hearing this, Xin Changning's face turned cold, he stuffed the hairpin into his sleeve, and pulled Yang Yulan away.

"Come on, the price is negotiable!" Seeing that the money in her hand was about to fly, Xiao Er hurriedly called out to her.

Xin Changning stopped, and said with a slight smile, "This is a silver-gilt silk hibiscus hairpin. The hairpin rod is carved with deep carving techniques to create lifelike hibiscus branches. The head of the hairpin is made of silk. into thin threads, weaved into pieces of petals, and then welded, and the stamens are fried beads..."

When it comes to his previous life, Xin Changning talked eloquently: "This hairpin is a combination of many kinds of crafts, and it is rare that each one is without the slightest flaw. The petals are even more complicated and delicate, and the pieces are symmetrical in size. They are exactly the same as carved out of a mold." It seems that a master craftsman without more than ten years of experience will definitely not be able to do it. Good craftsmanship is naturally expensive, as long as two taels, I will sell it along the street, and I believe it will be sold soon."

"Girl, I didn't expect you to know this." Xiao Er was sweating, and realized that he had misread it. The little girl in front of her who couldn't even afford to wear a piece of jewelry was still an expert.

That being the case, earn less!
He immediately said: "How about this, girl, let's take a step back each, and I'll give you one or two eight dollars, okay?"

"This—" Xin Changning's psychological price was two taels, and he still hesitated after hearing that.
