Chapter 6 Preparing to go to the countryside to collect old items

On the other side, the brother and sister had already arrived at the door of the pawn shop, and the guy who had previously recognized Jiang Yun at a glance.

"Disciple guests are here, please come in quickly. Two comrades, you guys will sit first. The master is now there."

He spoke attentively and respectfully, and even brought tea to the two of them, without any arrogance or rudeness as before.

"Thanks."

At this time, the shopkeeper was entertaining a VIP in the inner room of the pawn shop.

"Mr. Gu, look at it. This copybook is a good object."

The elegant old man wearing a short-sleeved shirt is named Gu Zheng. He is a university professor who studies archaeology. With his extensive professional knowledge and stingy eyes, he is quite famous in the antique industry.

He held the copybook that Jiang Yun sold to the pawn shop, and looked carefully with a magnifying glass.

"Yes, I've collected this copybook, but the price of 700 is a bit higher." He reached out and gestured four times, meaning four hundred dollars.

The shopkeeper's eyes turned and pretended to be unlucky: "Old man, why don't you add some more? I'm a small business. I finally got such an item, so I'm counting on it for subsidies to cover the decline in business."

The old man twisted the white jade bracelet on his wrist and coughed lightly: "Four hundred and five, no more."

Once you go in and out, you will make a net profit of 150% if you don’t have anything to do. Such good things can be hard to find even with lanterns.

The shopkeeper quickly agreed: "Okay."

At the same time, the brother and sister outside waited for a while.

Jiang Hao was impatient and couldn't sit still: "Brother, go and ask, are you okay? We have been waiting for a lot of time."

The young man smiled politely: "Are you two here to sell your babies? Why don't you let me pass it over first?"

It's done, let him see it first, Jiang Hao took out the snuff bottle from his pocket and prepared to hand it over.

By chance, the two people who had finished trading in the inner room just walked out, and Mr. Gu was attracted by the snuff bottle at first sight.

"Young man, let me see this thing."

Jiang Hao was a little worried, and his hand holding the thing shrank back.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper quickly introduced: "This is an old gentleman, this one in our circle." He also gave him a thumbs up.

After hearing this, he felt relieved and handed the baby to the other party.

The old man picked up a magnifying glass and looked at the snuff bottle carefully. While looking at it, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Sophisticated! This work is really exquisite. The blue glass bottle body, carved and hollowed-out red agate bottle cap, and the flowers, birds, fish and insects on the bottle are even more lifelike, and they are a good object."

He smiled at the shopkeeper and said, "The snuff bottle is more heart-warming than these 450-yuan things, hahaha." He also gestured with the copybook.

!!!

The man was holding the copybook he picked up yesterday. He sold it for 300 yuan. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper's transfer was 405 yuan. As expected, the middlemen made a profit.

"Young man, how much do you plan to sell snuff bottles?"

Jiang Hao glanced at his sister and then listened to Jiang Yun calmly saying: "Eight hundred."

There are three hundred copies, this person collects four hundred and five hundred, and she cannot lift the snuff bottle that is five hundred and can't lift it up.

After listening to the shopkeeper, his smart eyes rolled around: "My little comrade, this price is too high. You have to leave some soup for me when you eat meat, right?"

When the buyer and seller meet, wouldn’t it be a waste of time for their own middlemen? It would be better to just make the words clear and earn some money for tea.

"Haha, don't worry, your benefits are indispensable."

Mr. Gu put the snuff bottle in his palm and played with it. He didn't even want to return the things back. He glanced at the brother and sister. It seemed that the thin girl was the one who was in charge.

"Girl, the price of 800 is indeed high, how about you look at this number?" He gestured to six.

Six hundred!

The excited Jiang Hao wanted to agree immediately. Fortunately, his remaining rationality pulled him back, glanced at the girl, and saw that she was neither humble nor arrogant, "Seven hundred and five, I won't sell it if it's low."

"Girl, you are very courageous at such a young age. Let's do this, how about Qibai? Just think we are friends."

Jiang Hao felt that it was almost done, so he stood beside his sister, kept pulling the other party's sleeves, reminding her to stop when she saw it was right.

How could Jiang Yun not understand? She smiled slightly and said, "Okay, just think that I am a friend of the old man."

This old man is a big shot in the industry. If he can get in touch with him, he will be able to skip the middleman and trade directly with the buyer in the future.

"Hahaha, this girl is a straightforward girl. I like to deal with straightforward people." After he said that, he pulled out seven hundred-dollar bills from his wallet, with a business card of his own inside.

When he was giving money, he blinked at the other party, his eyes kept reminding him.

Jiang Yun pinched the banknotes, then found the clues and said calmly: "Thank you, Mr. Gu."

After the transaction was completed, the brother and sister stopped leaving and stood up and left. In the pawn shop, Mr. Gu was also ready to leave.

"Hey! Old, after the business is finished, you just left? What are the benefits you said just now?" The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and spoke with a thick face.

Mr. Gu carried his bag and walked out: "What did you say? Old man, I have something to do. I will talk about it next time. I still have class. See you again!"

The old man looked old, but his legs were very fast, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared.

The shopkeeper was so angry that he blew his beard and stared at him, constantly scolding the guy, and had no eyesight.

The brother and sister who left had already walked to the entrance of the alley now and happened to meet their biological mother who had returned from buying vegetables.

"Mom! Why do you buy so many things? I'll carry them." Jiang Hao took the rice bag and vegetable basket from his mother's hand.

"I cut some meat and bought a pigeon. Xiaoyun saw that the baby was so tired, so she had to eat some good supplements." Wang Mei took her daughter's hand pamperedly, and the mother and son walked home.

The nosy neighbors around them all stretched their necks and looked out.

"Look! Their family has been making a big fish and meat for two consecutive days! Are they really rich?"

"How is that possible! I didn't hear the old doctor at the alley saying that her daughter is sick again, maybe she will help the girl with her body."

"According to this way of eating, they probably have to pick up trash again tomorrow!"

The gossiped people burst into laughter again with gloating.

When the mother and son returned home, Jiang Hao locked the door with his backhand. The thief said in a tantrum: "Mom, guess how much does the snuff bottle cost?"

"How many?"

He looked proud and gestured with his hand: "Seven hundred! Seven hundred yuan!"

Jiang Yun put a stack of money on the table: "Mom, our family will never have to live a hard life again!"

Yes, Wang Mei never dreamed that she would have a day to turn over.

"Remember! It's all Xiaoyun that we can have today. If you dare to bully her, I won't agree!"

"How could it be! I can't bear to love Xiaoyun! If anyone dares to bully my girl, I will never forgive him!"

Wang Mei took the money and counted it carefully, and a piece of white paper fell out of it: "Oh, why is there still a small piece of paper in the money?"

Jiang Yun took it and saw that it turned out to be Mr. Gu’s business card.

"Xiaoyun, why did that old man stuff this piece of paper into the money?" Jiang Hao didn't understand why.

Jiang Yun curled the corners of her mouth and showed a beautiful curve: "I'm reminding us that if you have any good things in the future, go find him directly." The old man was quite interesting, so he actually came to get some firewood from the cauldron.
