Rich and wishful

Chapter 211

As soon as the box was placed on the table and opened, a bright light flashed in front of my eyes.A box of pearls was almost full, and each pearl was round and smooth. Although the size was different, the smallest one was bigger than the biggest one they saw in the fish market today.

After counting the number of people, there are a total of 150 pearls, in addition to white, there are pink and black, each of which is not only round but also almost flawless, which can cast a shadow of a person.Three of them were twice the size of the others,
Liu Heng and An Ruyi directly took all these pearls, except for the three that were priced at 300 taels per pearl, the rest were all at 15 taels of silver per pearl.The total was calculated to be 130 and 200 taels of silver, and the two directly gave [-] taels of silver, bluntly saying that the rest was the hard work of Kuang's family taking the two of them to sea tomorrow.

Looking at the whole stack of 100 taels of silver bills, Kuang Lao Er and Kuang Fu were both stunned.

The pearls here have always been sold by the bucket. They sell the big ones directly to the shop. A bucket can only be sold for about 50 taels, and the high ones can be sold for 80 taels. The merchant I met when I was young once received his best pearls at a price of 200 taels per bucket.

If the pearls they brought out this time were only five or six dou, even if the price was 200 taels per dou, it would be no more than 200 taels of silver at most, let alone 2000 taels of silver all of a sudden.In fact, even the previous price is just what they usually think about occasionally.And now it turns out.
"Anyone who is covered in silk is not a silkworm farmer." Liu Heng sighed inwardly.Seeing their dumbfounded looks, they don't know what they are thinking. The price he gave is higher than the price of their pearls here, but they don't know that they take these pearls back and don't say anything else. Three pieces can be worth several thousand taels, but there is still a price but no market.So he didn't mind giving them more pearl divers.

"Will the two nobles give too much? Our pearls don't have such a high price. They are not measured by pearls but by buckets."

Kuang Laoer said with a vibrato, he was afraid that when the two of them went back, they would find that they paid a high price, and if they got it back, there would be more disputes.They can't afford to provoke these noble people.

"Don't worry, these pearls are worth the price." Liu Heng said bluntly, "Actually, the price we charge directly from your shop here is about the same, and we don't give more. If you have close-mouthed relatives and friends who are so kind Pearls of good quality can also be brought, and I will collect them at this price."

Kuang Laoer shook his head, that's right, Liu Heng's words reminded him that this matter must not be leaked, otherwise the people in the shop would definitely not be able to spare them.It seems that the eldest son will be involved in this matter at most in the future.Other people are afraid that it is not good to let them know the real price of these pearls.

"I have an elder son who also fishes pearls for a living. I'm afraid there are some good pearls at home. I wonder if the nobleman wants more?" Kuang Laoer asked tentatively.

"can."

"Then please wait a moment, I'll let him bring the pearls here." Kuang Laoer was overjoyed, and hurried back all the way, but after a stick of incense, he brought a man who looked somewhat similar to Kuang's father Come on, when he came in and saw Liu Heng and An Ruyi, his face was filled with joy.

Kuang Laoer introduced that this is his eldest son named Kuang Daniu, and Kuang Zhuer's father is his third son named Kuang Sanniu.

Waiting for Daniel to open a package that he carried with him. If you look carefully, there are 120 pearls, and there are also two pearls with a quality of 300 taels, so after calculation, you can get 410 taels of silver. , Liu Heng directly gave him 400 taels of banknotes and 15 taels of cash.

Then they made an appointment with Kuang Sanniu to meet again at Yinshi the next day, and Liu Heng and An Ruyi said goodbye and left.

The second son of the Kuang family looked at the eldest son who was happily counting the bank notes, and he couldn't help saying to the two sons with a serious face: "Remember all of you, and this matter must not be leaked in the future. In the future Don't drink a few mouthfuls of cat urine before you go out and spit it out." Kuang Lao Er explained the serious relationship between them again and again with great earnestness.The two brothers finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

Kuang Daniu collected the money and said to Kuang Laoer: "Father, we are not stupid, we must keep this kind of thing well hidden in the future, and don't let others know."

Kuang Sanniu followed suit and nodded again and again. After this incident, the two brothers were even more convinced of their father.If the old father hadn't told them to hide the good beads and not sell them easily in the shop, they would not be able to produce so many good beads even if they met noble people.

"Third brother, remember to take the nobleman for a stroll tomorrow, don't neglect him by focusing on picking pearls." Kuang Laoer was finally relieved, and did not forget to explain to his son.

"Father, don't worry." Kuang Sanniu knew what to do without explaining.

Kuang Daniu took out the 15 taels of scattered silver and put it on the table, "Third brother, Zhu Er brought her back. She is also a great hero of our two families. These are the private money I gave her. You let her put it away by herself."

"How can this be done?" Kuang Sanniu repeatedly refused, and in the end it was Kuang Lao Er who made the decision to let the third son take it directly, and asked Zhu'er to keep the money directly, so Kuang Sanniu reluctantly accepted it.

After Kuang Er and Kuang Daniu had left, Kuang Sanniu's family gathered around the main room after the door was inserted. Kuang Sanniu took out the banknote and the ingot of gold to his wife, and then explained the process in detail. After talking about it again, I finally gave Kuang Zhuer the 15 taels of silver given by Kuang Daniu, and the whole family was very happy.Kuang Sanniu's wife, Kuang Ge, recited Buddha's name directly.

Kuang Zhu'er remembered the box of pearl flowers that An Ruyi had given her, and took it out for her family to open for a look. There were a total of twelve pearl flowers, not only exquisite as real flowers, but also the buds of the flowers were inlaid with tiny scattered gemstones. , Everyone's eyes widened.

When Liu Heng and An Ruyi appeared at Yinshi the next day, everyone in the Kuang family was very enthusiastic, more than ten times more enthusiastic than the day before.Kuang Zhu'er also got up early and baked a few thick stacks of scallion pancakes for her family to take with her, and had them as staple food at noon with Liu Heng and An Ruyi.

They also cooked fish porridge and boiled eggs for breakfast.

The hospitality was hard to come by, so the two had to sit down and eat it. The fish porridge was rich in flavor and smooth in the mouth, but without the slightest fishy smell. Facing this little girl who was exceptionally talented in cooking, An Ruyi couldn't help but sigh with emotion. People are among the people.

This time the two asked for more money, but the Kuang family refused to accept it.
