Chapter 23 Second-hand dealer
Chapter 23: The Second Dealer
Once they buy it, they can sell it for a thousand taels in the north. They only have this opportunity to pick up the missing pieces once a year.
It is not possible to come across good products like this every time, but with a profit of three hundred taels less, many people still have a hard time making a choice.
The rugged man with only two hundred taels had no intention of competing, but he did not leave immediately to purchase other goods.
“I’ll buy two!”
There are always people who dare to take risks, because one or two high-quality gems are easier to carry than a bag of ordinary gems, and the profit is relatively larger.
"I also want!"
There are two gems for every one. Ziyu left one gem unsold, and all the others were sold out. She got back 500 taels of gold tickets and 4,500 taels of silver tickets.
The rugged man bought the goods he was satisfied with, knowing that he had taken advantage of it, so he simply stayed and helped Ziyu.
She took out five taels of silver and threw it to the rough man.
“Brother, Xiao Luo is here to give you a shout!”
Ziyu looked at the two big bags of steamed buns and a small bag of braised pork bought by the rugged man and looked at the sky speechlessly, sighing.
The middle-aged man glanced at Ziyu and Xiao Luo on her back with a sinister look. Xiao Luo was so scared that Xiao Luo lay on her back and did not dare to move.
“I’m going to throw you away if you don’t buy it, and I’m not begging you to buy it!” Ziyu glared at the frustrated middle-aged man and replied.
“Uncle, what are you doing?”
Someone is carrying a bag of purple jade and continues to walk around the trading shop. When he encounters something rare, he will buy it.
Xiaowu, who was promoted to deputy manager, decided to help Ziyu. They had to deposit their belongings back anyway, and they didn’t mind bringing one or two people with them.
Otherwise, with her small body and carrying a baby, she would encounter many troubles along the way.
“Haha, uncle, you are so honest!
Then how about I ask you to be my guard? "
Seeing that the two of them had finally reached an agreement, Xiao Wu found it difficult to ask some questions now, so he could only hold back.
Because there was too much cargo, there was only one place left for Xiao Luo in the carriage. She and the rugged man guarded the mule cart on the left and right.
No matter what his purpose is, Ziyu thinks he can give it a try.
“Xiao Luo, you should eat less, it’s getting heavier and heavier!” Ziyu complained, rubbing her sore shoulders.
Some of the fragile items were sent into the space by Ziyu when they were loaded into the cart. What was piled on the mule cart were all light items.
“Uncle, you bought some food and bought it all!”
“Uncle, stay here. I have another gem here. I’ll give it to you for 200 taels, how about it?”
Thick fabrics account for half of them, and their prices are not cheap. After all, they are of great use to Purple Jade.
After visiting the trading shop, the temporary cart was piled with purple jade goods. After selling the gems in exchange for 4,700 taels of silver notes, there were still 1,700 taels left.
“Okay, just take care of my food, my appetite is a bit big!”
…
“5,000 taels, a lot of money!”
“Little Fifth Brother, what a coincidence!”
Handcrafts made of glass, crystal balls, cheese, coffee, cocoa powder, sharp daggers set with precious stones.
The rugged man happily agreed. He only ate two steamed buns in the morning and didn't dare to use the little money he had on him.
Ziyu knew everyone she saw and greeted them warmly. The three people who were gathered around and unwilling to leave saw the crowd and left dejectedly.
Thick velvet, solid and wear-resistant denim, although these things are ordinary in Ziyu's eyes, it can be seen that the industrial development on the other side of the ocean is far ahead of this era.
The rugged man agreed, and he was happy to finally find a job as a food provider. In order to save money, he had to eat and sleep in the open all the way, and he never had enough to eat.
…
…
To ensure convenience on the road, Ziyu hid a big knife and a gun at the base of the carriage.
In the eyes of others, she is carrying a lot of treasures, so her journey must have been uneven. Her blood has been boiling since she hasn't been active for a long time. What's going on!
Let me give you this number! "The middle-aged man stretched out a palm and turned it over.
"want!"
Chance notes produced under the supervision of the Ministry of Household Affairs, with complicated patterns and seals, are difficult to copy, and have the same effect as the deposit certificates of later generations.
“Brother, since you have met your friend, I will say goodbye.” The rugged man said goodbye to Ziyu with his hands raised.
If you can really subdue this big man, at least you can help take Xiao Luo wherever you go. It was as heavy as a stone for her to carry alone, and she was unable to do anything.
“Huh~” Ziyu exhaled a long breath, feeling that her shoulders didn’t feel so uncomfortable anymore.
Ziyu never expected that there could be such a chivalrous person. A person who seemed rough and shrewd, but inside was a person who knew how to repay kindness.
"Little brother, we have to go purchase goods. We will meet at the entrance of the trading house in a while. I will give you a lift on the way back."
There were only a few rolls of fabric outside for assembly. After all, it was too heavy and would affect the mule’s traveling speed.
Although banknotes are easy to carry, the 3% handling fee is not low. Once force majeure occurs, it is even worse than scrap paper.
The entrance to the trading house was full of loaded vehicles, and the Ziyu family’s mule carts were also piled high.
The rugged man answered simply and neatly, without any pretense at all, and he grinned happily.
It is a pity that there is no cash or gold income, although the gold and silver notes received are the common ticket numbers in Baiyun Kingdom.
"okay!"
“Little brother, give us some of the gems in the box!
Ziyu poked the child who was trying to please her. The little guy held her hand and kept rubbing her face against her hand, like a little puppy.
Ziyu glanced at the rugged uncle, who was as big as an iron tower. It was the first time he had seen such a tall man in this era, and he was even more outstanding among southerners.
“Little brother, why are you here?
Haha, we meet again, it is a fate that cannot be stopped. " shouted a loud voice.
“Just give me four steamed buns, and you’ll be responsible for the rest.”
“Thank you, Brother Xiaowu, see you there or not!” Ziyu agreed.
Ziyu glanced at the rugged man in confusion, maybe she had other ideas.
【Haha, I didn’t expect good things to happen to good people! 】
Otherwise, it will not be possible to sell the gem.
The rugged man recognized the kindness of the young boy and should repay him when he needed it most, instead of just talking about it.
Some vendors who had bought satisfactory goods left one after another, but there were still three people and the rugged man who stayed where they were.
Ziyu glanced at the middle-aged man indifferently. She wanted to buy the best gems for a thousand taels of silver, and she wanted to be beyond ordinary beauty.
“Stay in the carriage and don’t move around, be careful of the cargo hitting you.”
“Brother, let me keep you company!
I still have brute strength. I have traveled to many places with the **** agency, and I can still deal with three or five people without any problem. "
"make a deal!"
“You are robbing someone!”
After a few days of seafood feasts and huge steamed buns, it was hard for her and Xiao Luo to eat, so Ziyu had to pretend to look for something on the mule cart.
Took out two water bags filled with water, threw one to the rough man, sat on the cart and ate steamed buns to satisfy his hunger.
