Run a B&B and receive Wu Song at the beginning

Chapter 18 Selling gold cakes [please vote]

Zhou Ruotong posted this to Moments this morning:

“I accidentally came across a beautiful antique-style B\u0026B in the mountains. It has a great sense of design, beautiful scenery, and great food! You can find it by searching Fengming Valley Boutique B\u0026B in the navigation system.”

Below the text are nine-square pictures, including the sunset and evening scene taken yesterday, detailed close-ups of the courtyard, and photos of delicious food and Brother Dao. Just looking at it makes people want to experience it.

You have to be a cultural person to be so attractive.

Li Yu sighed with emotion, liked the post, and then sent a message to Zhou Ruotong:

"Thank you for your help in promoting it. You like eating chestnuts, right? Say hello in advance next time and I will go to a nearby village to buy a big free-range rooster from a farmer. Chestnut stew tastes great."

In the orchard next to the royal tomb site, Zhou Ruotong, who had just gone to work, was preparing for detection.

After receiving the WeChat message, she replied with a smile:

"I've been busy exploring the underground recently. I may not have time to find you for a meal these days."

After sending the message, she took another photo of the pile of detection equipment next to her.

It is said to be an equipment, but it is actually a Luoyang shovel made of steel pipes. There are screws on the heads of the steel pipes, which can be connected one by one.

With different shovel heads, a variety of detection effects can be achieved.

When Li Yu saw the photos sent, he immediately remembered the plot in "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" and asked enthusiastically:

"How did you find the detection point? Is it like in the novel, relying on a compass and gold to determine the acupoint?"

Zhou Ruotong posted a photo of his last detection work:

"We don't rely on metaphysics, we rely on technology and manpower."

In the photo, hundreds of workers are standing in rows in the wheat field, about two meters apart. Each one holds a Luoyang shovel in his hand and is exploring downwards.

This kind of scene where man can conquer nature suddenly washed away the mystery in Li Yu's heart.

After finishing the chat, he went upstairs and took out the gold cake. He checked it on an electronic scale and found that the weight was 247.5 grams.

You have to remember this number and check the scale first when selling. After all, the difference is hundreds of dollars per gram, so don't be careless.

"Brother Dao, keep a good watch on the door at home. I'll go to the city."

The golden retriever had breakfast and was having a great time holding a dog self-pleasure toy.

Li Yu changed his clothes and rode an electric tricycle out, heading straight to Yinzhou city.

In a simple private house near Wuyi Road, Huang Tao finally recovered a little after a few days of rest, and the whip marks on his face were much lighter.

He was sitting cross-legged on the sofa piled with dirty clothes, chattering about plans:

"Sister, my method is absolutely foolproof, and Li Yu is so handsome. You are taking advantage of sleeping with him, so why are you so coy?"

Opposite in front of the cabinet, stood a woman with exaggerated measurements, her burgundy wavy hair particularly conspicuous. She was Huang Tao's sister Huang Li.

Huang Li responded to Huang Tao's words while pulling her clothes from the cabinet:

"Stop pretending. Is this what I'm fussing about? Please tell me clearly, how much will you pay me when the matter is settled? I won't do anything less."

The brother and sister had been arguing for several days about how to divide the money. Huang Tao originally planned to just give him a token amount. Anyway, Li Yu was so handsome, so Huang Li would not suffer any loss.

But Huang Li felt that this kind of opportunity to make a fortune was relatively rare, so she opened her mouth to give it a 50-50 chance.

Moreover, she is also Sun Facai's nominal girlfriend, and she has a lot of points in both love and reason.

The two siblings were in a stalemate, and Huang Li decided to retreat instead of moving forward, saying that she would pack her bags and leave Yinzhou today, and continue to join the young anchor in the filming shop.

Now Huang Tao was panicking, fearing that Huang Li was really gone.

Forced coercion has failed, and now the only way to go is the honey trap. He doesn't want to really fight. In that case, wouldn't the last beating be in vain?

Seeing that his sister would not let go, Huang Tao took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and lit it:

"Then tell me the number. How much do you want? Don't even think about it being 50-50. This is absolutely impossible."

After getting the contract, you have to find a lawyer who likes to collect dirty money, imitate Sun Facai's handwriting to sign a transfer contract, and then sign the contract with the seller. In addition, you have to manage many people to complete the transaction.

If Huang Li came up and took 50% of the money, it would be a fool's errand.

Huang Li thought for a while and then said:

"Give me 200,000 yuan. If it works, I'll go. If it doesn't work, I'll take the high-speed rail in the afternoon."

Huang Tao took a sip from his cigarette:

"Okay, I agreed, but you have to get the complete set of formalities for the scenic spot, otherwise I won't give you a penny... We, brothers and sisters, will settle the accounts clearly, so don't cheat when the time comes."

"It's a deal! Just remember to drive me to the B\u0026B in the afternoon."

"OK, no problem!"

Huang Tao had an excited smile on his face. With his elder sister taking action, this matter would definitely be settled.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Li Yu drove his electric tricycle to a relatively prosperous commercial street.

He found a parking space on the side of the road and parked the tricycle, then walked straight into a roadside shop marked Gold Recycling.

"Welcome, feel free to take a look."

The store is not big, but there are many gold jewelry on display, most of which are rings, earrings, bracelets and so on.

The shop owner is a middle-aged man with thin hair, probably in his fifties, dark and thin.

Seeing Li Yu come in, he said hello, then held his phone and continued watching the black stocking JK dance video on Douyin.

The old heart never grows old... Li Yu lowered his head and looked at the gold jewelry on the counter, then looked at the sign next to it that said gold recycling, and then asked:

"Do you accept gold here?"

When the shop owner heard this, he immediately gave up the young lady on the phone and said with a smile on his face:

"Take it, take as much as you want."

Li Yu took out the gold cake from his inner pocket:

"Weigh it first. I'll look at your scale and then decide whether to sell it or not."

This is the third recycling store he has visited. The owners of the first two stores were also very enthusiastic and told some rules about gold recycling, but their scales were not very good.

For a 247.5-gram gold cake, one family weighed 235 grams, while another weighed even more, less than 230 grams.

If this scale doesn't work, Li Yu plans to trade with people online who come to recycle it.

Upon hearing this request, the shop owner smiled and placed the electronic scale on the counter:

"Have you encountered someone who is playing tricks on you? Gold has risen sharply in the past two months, and the greed of some colleagues has also increased. Those who play tricks on the scale will not achieve great things."

Li Yu put the gold cake in his hand on the scale, and a number immediately appeared on the electronic screen:

247.5.

It's actually exactly the same, not bad.

"How's it going? Is there anything wrong with my scale?"

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he put on a pair of thick-soled glasses, picked up the gold cake on the scale with both hands, and observed it carefully.

After watching it for a while, he placed it on a nearby operating table and used a spray gun-style tool to burn the gold surface.

"The surface of gold will oxidize and be easily stained by sweat and stains, so before looking at it, we will burn it to burn off these dirt, making it easier to identify the color of the gold."

The shopkeeper explained while busy.

Li Yu didn't bother him either.

After the gold cakes were burned, the shopkeeper started testing again, seemingly to check the purity of the gold.

After working for a while, he said to Li Yu:

"Today's gold price is four hundred and thirty-four, but we don't care about the source here, so the purchase price will naturally be lower. Three hundred and nine. If you want to sell it, I will take it. If you don't sell it, I will change it to another place."

"Can't it be higher?"

It was actually less than 400, which was a bit lower than Li Yu's psychological expectations.

The shopkeeper took off his glasses and put the electronic scale back where it belongs:

"The business of gold recycling has always been based on market trends. If the gold price reached 480 a few days ago, I would definitely pay you more than 400."

"Okay, then sell it."

"okay!"

The shopkeeper calculated the money and said with a smile:

"Originally it was ninety-six thousand five hundred and twenty-five yuan. I will give you ninety-six thousand and six to make up a lucky number."

He really knows how to do business, and he actually knows how to collect lucky numbers... After negotiating the price, Li Yu began to figure out the supplies to buy.

The electric tricycle is too small, so it definitely can't hold too many things. You may have to ask a merchant to deliver it to your door, or ask a huolala to help transport it back.

The payment was successful and Li Yugang was about to leave. The shop owner quickly handed over a business card:

"I hope there will be opportunities to cooperate with my brothers in the future. I not only accept gold here, but I can also help with other hard currencies. The price is guaranteed to satisfy you."

Li Yu took the business card and saw a name printed on it:

Full of gold.

Is this name copied directly from the Spring Festival couplets?

He put away his business card, turned around and walked out.

Jin Mantang watched Li Yu leave, picked up the gold cake again, rubbed it a few times, and said to himself:

"Looking at the style, it should be a gold cake from the Han Dynasty. Is there a new group of tomb robbers in Yinzhou? Fortunately, I didn't offend just now. People like this kill without batting an eye. They might bury me someday."

He shrunk his neck, picked up his phone, and looked at Miss JK on Douyin again...
