Chapter 18 18．heroic new friend
Chao Feng, who was in charge of the locker, was a middle-aged man, about 40 years old, with a small nose and small eyes, and a mustache. He looked like a mouse, and he had been following Shen Yunfei since he entered the store.It's just that when he saw Shen Yunfei entering the store, he didn't treat it as anything, but just walked back and forth to look at it, and knew that he was a know-it-all, so he didn't say hello immediately, and let him look at it.It's just that my signboard clearly bears the banner of the World Chamber of Commerce, and I have to look at it so carefully, I'm afraid I haven't seen much in the world.

Seeing Shen Yunfei put the things on the table at this time, the courtier reached out and picked up the rotten silver inlaid jade belt, squinted his eyes and said, "The four pieces of jade are not bad, but the silver is not worth it. Eighty."

Upon hearing the price, Shen Yunfei sneered.

Eighty guan is [-] yuan, less than a tael of gold, the same price as the clothes on his body.Although his belt is not a rare treasure, but just a piece of transparent emerald jade on it is more than this price, let alone four yuan.

But he also knows that this is a common practice in pawnshops, even if you are the emperor's golden rice bowl, you can also be called a beggar's beggar.

He didn't speak a word, and listened to the next thing that the court offered.

Hearing his sneer, Na Chaofeng knew that this man was not ignorant, and the price was underestimated.So he picked up the seven-treasure glazed purple gauze jade face crown, looked at it carefully for a while, and said: "This hat is not bad, the glass is transparent, and the gauze is also good. It is [-]% new, and it can be worth one gold and twenty guan. Two things And the price is two gold, what do you think?"

"Are you blind?" Shen Yunfei didn't have anything good to say, so he opened his mouth and said, "Not to mention the workmanship, the silver used for the belt is polished with cloud patterns. There are four pieces of jade on it, one is Huaguang, the other is Nanyang Cui, A piece of purple marrow, a piece of chicken blood, even if I dig it out and sell the jade alone, it will not only cost the price you said. And the hat, you only look at the glazed purple gauze, and forget the seven beads on it, right? It’s all with you Let me tell you, I’m a dead pawn, and if you take it, it’s yours. You’re playing with me now, pretending that I’ve never been in a pawn shop, right?”

When Chaofeng saw that this was indeed an expert, he quickly smiled and said, "I didn't hear clearly. Since it's deadly, you can raise the price a little bit, twenty gold, what do you think?"

With just one mouthful, the price has doubled tenfold.

Shen Yunfei knew in his heart that as long as it was in a pawnshop, the things would definitely not be sold at the original price, and the court offer said twenty gold, which was about the same as his psychological price.And he doesn't need that much money, one or two gold is enough to feed an ordinary family for a whole year.Now he has changed his clothes and has a horse, and the rest doesn't cost much at all.

It's just that he didn't like the word "tianxia" in his heart, and he wanted to find fault, so he said: "Fifty gold, I won't sell it if I lose a penny."

As soon as Shen Yunfei said fifty gold, Chao Feng frowned.

To say that these two things are indeed high-quality goods, they must be more than fifty gold.As long as a little care is taken to remove the dust on it, it can be sold for a hundred gold on the shelf.However, pawn shops have always had their own rules. If you are not a big client you are very familiar with, you can press as much as you can.

The young man in front of him has just arrived and doesn't know anything about it. If he hastily paid him a high price and broke the rules of the pawn shop, it will be difficult to deal with it in the future.

Chao Feng fiddled with the abacus beads for a while, and said: "At most 25 gold, no more. I'm not afraid to tell you, after leaving this Huitong Treasure Pavilion, you don't even want to find any other shop in Fengxiang City to get it." Let's talk about these two things of yours."

Shen Yunfei was quite moved when he heard the price, but he still had the competitive spirit in his heart, so he said: "Don't you understand what I say? Fifty gold is fifty gold. If you negotiate the price again, I will just pick it up." Jade and beads are sold outside."

That Chaofeng wanted to say something, when he suddenly saw a figure walking in from the door, "Ouch" he let out a startled laugh and walked out of the counter to meet him.

"I said thank you, hero, why do you come to the small shop when you have time? If you need anything, just let me know. I'll send the things to your house. Why don't you bother to make this trip yourself?"

As he spoke, he bent down and saluted again, with an indescribable enthusiasm on his face.

As soon as he went to meet the customers, he threw Shen Yunfei in front of the counter and stood there alone in a daze.

In fact, Shen Yunfei also knew that this was a common trick used by pawnshops.If the price cannot be negotiated, the court tribute on the cabinet will intentionally neglect the customer and let him sell it or not.If you are really in a hurry to spend money, you will probably sell it at that price when you see that the court is ignoring you.

The third young master looked inside the counter, and sure enough, two guys had already cast their gazes at him, obviously waiting for him to take the bait automatically.But he didn't want to do this. He took things by himself, swayed square steps, and didn't go out. He slipped into the living room on the right and sat there. The man who came in outside.

Seeing that he didn't take the bait, the guy sat down in the living room again, the two looked at each other, one of them lowered his head and brought out the tea, and put it on the table for Shen Yunfei.

This is also the rule of the pawn shop, as long as the customer has not left the house, no matter whether the business has been negotiated or not, as long as the customer sits down, he must serve tea.Besides, Shen Yunfei is luxurious, so he must be a person of extraordinary status.The two items he pawned were also good products, and the two guys had good eyesight, knowing that the shopkeeper would not let go of this business, so naturally they didn't dare to neglect it.

Shen Yunfei lifted the lid of the tea bowl and looked at it. The top-quality Fengxiang Pearl Feather Tea is considered a high-quality product.He picked up the teacup and pretended to blow on the tea leaves, but his eyes fell on the person outside.

I saw him wearing a gray cloth robe, with leggings on his feet, and a pair of knives pinned to his waist. He looked like a martial arts practitioner.Although the clothes are not luxurious, but the spirit is extraordinary, especially a pair of dark and deep eyes, just looking at it makes people's hearts tremble.

When Shen Yunfei saw it, he couldn't help comparing him with Huangfuhua.

Huangfu Hua is tall and tall, with broad shoulders and thick back, and a hulking waist; while this man is slender, with narrow shoulders and neck, and flexible steps.

Huangfu Hua was good at using knives, but he used a four-foot-long Tiger Roaring Iron Back Chopper; this man obviously also used knives, but he used two two-foot-long straight-bladed black-fronted Yi throat knives.

Comparing the temperament, Huangfu Hua was born in the army, so he naturally has that kind of upright and unyielding iron-blooded pride; and this man is obviously not a soldier, but there is a faint murderous look on his body, but in terms of temperament, he is not at all. It doesn't make people feel evil, but there is a sense of fear that makes people feel cold.

Third Young Master Shen was looking at it, when he heard the man say: "Mr. Su, you are too polite, I don't dare to be called a hero, just call me thank you brother."

"Where can I do it?" said the court official, "Who in the world doesn't know your name, Xie Daxia? How can I, a small pawn shop manager, dare to call you brothers and sisters? You must be here today because of something important."

The one surnamed Xie said: "It's not a big deal, I want to find a good belt and give it to someone."

As soon as he heard that he wanted to buy a belt, Chao Feng immediately thought of Shen Yunfei's rotten silver inlaid jade belt, but the business hadn't been concluded yet, so it was hard to say, so he said with a smile: "I don't know if the noble person you want to give is a man or a woman. How old is it? How is your friendship? How about your status? How much price do you think is suitable?"

Just as the man was about to speak, he suddenly looked at Shen Yunfei sitting in the inner hall, and the rotten silver belt on his table, his eyes lit up, and he walked in quickly.

He didn't move the belt directly, but turned his head and asked the court priest: "Who is this?"

That Chaofeng didn't know Shen Yunfei's surname, and was about to say that he was a customer in the store, when he saw that the third young master had put down the teacup in his hand, smiled at the one surnamed Xie, and said, "My surname is Shen, you call me Brother Shen That's enough. Just now I heard Brother Xie said that I want to buy a belt, do you think this one is suitable for me?"

When he saw the man surnamed Xie walking straight in, he never took his eyes off the belt, and he had already guessed that the man was interested in this thing.It's just because the temperament of this man is somewhat similar to Huangfu Hua's, he is full of righteousness, even if Shen Yunfei has a good impression, Yin'er will take the initiative to recommend him.

That court saw that Shen Yunfei started the business directly, of course he was a little unhappy, and said from the side: "This belt is good, I'm afraid it doesn't suit the status of Hero Xie. It seems... a bit more expensive."

Hearing this, Shen Yunfei frowned.

As for the man surnamed Xie, he really didn't look like a rich man, but since he was looking for things in the pawnshop under the Tianxia Chamber of Commerce, it must be impossible for him to pick up junk.

And he has taken a fancy to this belt since he came here, so his vision must be extraordinary.The court minister said that the things did not suit his status... I think there was only one reason.

In today's world, anyone with a bit of worldly stink will be looked down upon by others, Shen Yunfei's master Feng Muhan is a typical example.

This man surnamed Xie was dressed as a chivalrous man, so he must be a member of the Jianghu, and judging from the tone of the court official, he seemed to have a bit of a reputation. If he really wore gold and silver, it would indeed be somewhat out of character.

Shen Yunfei rolled his eyes, and then smiled and said: "Su Chaofeng's words are not good. Brother Xie just said that he bought it as a gift. If it is too simple, it will inevitably be a bit shabby. Besides, I Although this belt is made of silver, it is not luxurious at all, and the four jade stones on it can calm the nerves, calm the mind, drive away diseases, and beg for longevity. It is certainly suitable for young people to wear it. , but if worn by older people, the effect is even better.”

He, Third Young Master Shen, had spotted it a long time ago. The one surnamed Xie said that he bought it as a gift, but there are only a few possibilities.

One is ordinary friends, reciprocity.If that's the case, he doesn't need to ask for this belt by name, can't he just buy something?
The second is to give it to your lover as a good friend.But this belt is obviously a man's style, he couldn't move his eyes when he saw it, it was obviously not for a woman.

The third thing is to give it to important friends or elders in the family.

Shen Yunfei has been working in a pawnshop since he was a child, so he has learned the ability to read faces and expressions.The surname Xie didn't talk much, and he didn't have a smile on his face. People like this wouldn't give gifts easily.Even if you want to give it away, it must be a very important person. He can be so detailed, it is probably given to the elders.Shen Yunfei intentionally added the phrase "getting older", which is exactly the strategy of the businessman.

Sure enough, when he heard that the old man was wearing it properly, a bright light flashed in the eyes of that surname Xie, but it didn't show on his face.

It's a pity that his hiding, how could he hide from Shen Yunfei's long-looking eyes.Seeing this, he knew he had guessed right.

"How much?" The one surnamed Xie was also straightforward and asked directly.

Just as Third Young Master Shen was about to negotiate the price, he suddenly saw that Chao Feng took a step towards him, staring fixedly at himself.

He knew that if he said the price was too high, the imperial court would definitely make trouble.No one wants others to rob business in their own territory, and his Shen Yunfei's things are not willing to sell to this pawn shop, and don't even think about selling them to others, at least don't think about selling them at a high price.

Shen Yunfei smiled slightly, stretched out two fingers to compare, and said: "Brother Xie and I hit it off right away, and I want to make you a friend. Twenty gold, and I will give you a hat. Don't rush to say no, listen to me Finish the sentence. This hat is called the Seven Treasures Glaze Purple Yarn Jade Face Crown, of course it is suitable for young people to wear, but look at this..."

As he was talking, he took off the seven beads on the hat, and pressed a few glazed flowers on the brim of the hat, and the hat suddenly changed its shape.

He picked up the hat and shook it lightly, and said: "This is called Qibai Glazed Pine, and it has the meaning of pine and cypress prolonging the year. It is the most suitable gift for an old man to celebrate his birthday."

Sure enough, when the man surnamed Xie saw the change of the hat and was called this name again, his eyes lit up suddenly.

Shen Yunfei went on to say: "It's a pity that these are old things, someone has used them. But the price is so low and it's really a good deal. In addition, these two things don't look luxurious, but they are really effective. If you If you really buy it as a gift, as long as the other party is not too old, you will be very satisfied. After all, it is also a heart."

After listening to Shen Sanshao's eloquent explanation, the man surnamed Xie was already a little tempted, but he didn't seem to know much about goods, so he turned his attention to Su Chaofeng next to him, wanting to hear what he had to say .

When the imperial servant surnamed Su heard that Shen Yunfei only asked for [-] gold, which was less than the reserve price he had offered just now, although he felt a little unhappy, he dared not say a word of justice in front of this Xie talk.

He nodded and bowed and said: "Hero Xie, Mr. Shen is right. From my eyesight, if these two items are new, I'm afraid they can be sold for more than a hundred gold. Just now I asked for 25 gold. The young master still refuses to sell it. This time it only costs [-] gold, probably because of your thanks to the hero."
