Chapter 1424 (1/2)

Brother you took the picture and came to the gate of the biggest pawnshop in the capital. Standing at the door, youge'er hesitated for a while, and finally walked in.

The shopkeeper in the pawnshop is an old man about 50 years old. He looks smart.

The shopkeeper's surname is Chen, and his eyes are very sharp. He can roughly know the identity of the other side with a glance. This meeting only saw you elder brother son one eye, knew that this certainly is the rich family's child.

”I don't know what to be, guest?” asked shopkeeper Chen, his face expressionless It's so small that pawnshops are used as things. I'm afraid that the family has declined.

Hearing this, you elder brother took down the jade pendant with three rings of twisted silk, blessing and longevity, and handed it over from the counter: ”when this jade pendant.”

Shopkeeper Chen took it over with both hands and looked carefully. It was exquisitely made of lanolin jade.

Gently put down the jade pendant, shopkeeper Chen asked: ”the party or live when?”

”Live.” Youge'er inquired about the rules of pawnshop before he came here. Naturally, he knew that death is more money than life. But he needed a turnover of money, so he was not prepared to die.

Shopkeeper Chen said, ”how long?”

You elder brother son balanced to calculate, say: ”half a year.” Half a year, I should have money to redeem it.

”Two hundred taels of silver, don't you think it's right?” The voice, as always, is peaceful.

Hearing this, brother you almost jumped up and said, ”what do you say? Two hundred Liang silver? This is the material of lanolin jade, and it's made in-house. How can it only cost 200 Liang silver? ”

Shopkeeper Chen's face did not fluctuate a bit, saying, ”if you die, you can be 500 Liang silver.”

I heard that the pawnshop was very dark before. Now you elder brother has a deep understanding. Such a jade pendant with excellent workmanship and materials starts at 1000 Liang in the jewelry shop.

Youge'er endured the fire and said, ”live, five hundred Liang.”

Shopkeeper Chen did not refuse, but said, ”three hundred Liang.” When you arrive at the pawnshop, you will be dead to beat the price.

Youge'er feels that he has suffered a great loss: ”five hundred Liang, if you are willing to give it, you should be treated as if you are not willing to give it.” No more borrowing. It's better to lose face than to be slaughtered.

Shopkeeper Chen can see people best. When he sees brother you, he will know what he is thinking: ”OK, five hundred Liang.”

After that, shopkeeper Chen took another way and said, ”three cents a month and ninety-two half a year's interest. I will give you 412 silver.”

You elder brother's arithmetic is still very good. After hearing manager Chen's words, he immediately called out: ”thirty six percent interest a year, why don't you rob it?”

Shopkeeper Chen took a look at you elder brother. He was not an ignorant man: ”everyone who has ever come to the pawnshop knows that this is the rule of pawnshop.”

Brother you wants to go, but the business that wants to make a steady profit will not lose finally bears this tone.

He took the painting out of the box and handed it to him. He said, ”this is the painting of Jiangfan Pavilion by Li sixun. It's five thousand Liang.”

Shopkeeper Chen is not familiar with the calligraphy and painting. After a look at it, he said, ”come here, please sit in it!” Generally, only big customers are qualified to enter the internal consultation.

Come here and invite you elder brother to the private room. This small room is very elegant. There are tea cakes in it.

You elder brother son ate a mouthful, vomited out: ”this also is too bad to eat.”

”Objective,” said the young man politely, ”this is the cake of fragrance house. We just bought it.” The pastry made by piaxiangju is very famous in Beijing.

”How about living in fragrance? It's far worse than the cake cook in my family! ” In fact, the taste of this cake is very good, but compared with the top chef in the palace, it is naturally much worse. Not only the cooking, but also the materials.

I dare not return, but I despise you. Even if you have a cook who makes a delicious pastry, it's the same thing as before. Now I haven't been able to live as a thing and drag anything.

In the eyes of normal people, if they can't get through, they won't come to pawnshops to be pawns.

After a while, shopkeeper Chen took the picture into the box and said, ”Sir, we can only give you one thousand liang of silver for this picture.”

Youge'er said coldly, ”there are not many works of Lishi Xun in the world, and this picture of Jiangfan Pavilion is a representative one. A thousand Liang, you dare to speak. ”

Shopkeeper Chen was a little frightened, but he didn't show it on his face: ”Mr. Han, there are pawnshop rules in pawnshop.” It's mainly because they can't confirm the authenticity of this thing for the time being, and they know the details of youge'er, so they deliberately pressed the price very low

youge'er didn't want to talk nonsense, and took the picture from shopkeeper Chen: ”if you don't want to do this business, just say it, and waste my time.”

The shopkeeper didn't want to lose the business: ”if there is insurance, the price can be discussed.” Of course, the insurer must have status. In this way, if there is a problem, they can go to the insurer.

Put the painting away, and youge'er said with a black face, ”by the way, I'm wrong with the jade pendant. Give it back to me.”

Although the shopkeeper is a pity for such a business, he dare not take risks: ”OK.”

Brother you picked up something and left angrily. I ran into a man at the door because I was in such a hurry. The man was knocked back two steps.
