The shopkeeper wore a black jade-inlaid silk melon cap on his head and tortoiseshell reading glasses. He had a goatee and squinted his eyes as he picked up the ring.
My eyes lit up
He had never seen this thing before
It was so rare
A ring with a silver body , the main body alone should have two layers, and the card surface has another layer, and then on the sword-shaped card surface, a golden dragon is welded again. I don’t know how the dragon was carved, so lifelike.
Another ring, the main body is also silver, two layers are welded, and the outer layer is curly grass pattern. There is a circle of gold on the disk, with broken diamonds embedded in the gold, and the inner circle is silver with a circle of yellow diamonds embedded in it, so that the colors are symmetrical. In the middle is a large yellow gem.
One ring is exquisite and elegant, and the other is exquisite and luxurious.
It is not a product of this era at all, so the visual impact is particularly great.
The old shopkeeper deliberately frowned, "Well, it's light gold, rough silver."
This is a cliché. Someone comes to pawn it. If it is cotton or silk fabric, it is called "rags" To describe it as "shabby clothes", if it is jewelry, it is called "light gold placer gold". If it is tinware, it must be marked with the word "waste" to devalue the item.
"Haha, you are a poor man, you are blind," Zhao Chuanxin immediately retorted.
You said that my things are broken and the workmanship is rough, so I said that your place is broken and the shopkeeper has no discernment at all.
The shopkeeper ""
You are so witty
Zhao Chuanxin had something important to do and was unwilling to talk nonsense with him, so he said, "Gold is real gold." , the silver is pure silver, the inlaid gemstones are imported, the expensive ones are very fine workmanship, you can find any craftsman to imitate this kind of inlay, if there is one in China that can make it, I will give it away for free. I brought it back from the UK, it is based on the latest Made with industrial techniques, the two rings cost a total of 50 pounds."
The rings were actually made by Zhao Chuanxin himself.
He plays carving and has a foundation in carving. It is not difficult to learn techniques such as gold and silver jewelry inlays and carvings. At that time, it was used to show off his skills. In fact, he was just a craftsman at best. The styles were all imitated and there were no original elements.
But even if it is imitated, it is unique at this time.
The shopkeeper was so stunned that he rolled his eyes. Ordinary people come to pawn, either they are desperate poor people who are dumb and tongue-tied. Either he is a second-generation ancestor like the Banner Man, who cannot disgrace the nobleman and is unwilling to speak.
Nothing like the person in front of me, so sharp-tongued.
He also heard that he had bought it for fifty pounds. He took a deep breath.
He sighed for a while, "The things are good, and the distinguished customer is also knowledgeable. The pawn shop has the rules of our pawn shop. It is always 40% of the price, and no counter-offering is allowed. The monthly interest is three points, and the monthly interest will be deducted first. Even if you redeem it day and night, it will be deducted monthly. If you die, you will be deducted for three years, if you are alive, you will be deducted for two months. The ticket will not be registered, and the person will not be recognized."
This is the only pawnshop in this small place, Zhao Chuan. There is no choice in salary.
He asked "How much does it cost specifically?"
The shopkeeper looked at it under the light and pretended to say, "After all, I bought this thing for fifty pounds without any proof. In addition, the ring is already somewhat dull and scratched, so the silver dollar can only be converted to 40 yuan for you, which is 50% of the price." It’s 20 yuan.”
This price is one-tenth of what Zhao Chuanxin quoted. Even if he was making up nonsense, I still feel that this pawn shop owner is really evil
Pa< /p>
Slammed the cabinet and said, "Pawn"
When he left the pawn shop, the shopkeeper tilted his head and said disdainfully, "Prodigal son"
Dang Zhao After Chuan Xin said those words, Liu Guogui and Zhao Zhongyi regarded him as a "guest of honor".
Not only did he give him food, he also took him home and found a place for him to live.
This small town has not yet been fully developed, and it is not as crowded with people as it was in later generations.
Zhao Zhongyi and Liu Baobao are neighbors and live in a remote place. But in Zhao Chuanxin's view, this is not even considered a suburb in later generations.
Zhao Zhongyi is a good driver. His skill, which is not considered a craft, has been passed down for three generations. Zhao Chuanxin remembers that his grandfather was a driver when he was in the production team of later generations.
The ox cart swayed along the dirt road, which was very bumpy.
Zhao Chuanxin looked around on the bullock cart and was surprised everywhere he looked.
After a while, we arrived at Lugangling Village.
At the entrance of the village, a group of children ran wildly.
The child with the first head is neatly dressed and wearing a tiger head hat. The group of children at the back were much worse off. Some had their buttocks exposed, some had patched clothes, and most were wearing straw sandals.
One of the Miata children with a runny nose saw the bullock cart and shouted, "Dad, uncle, you are back."
Zhao Chuanxin was brewing something very special. Strange emotions
Could this little kid be his great-great-grandfather? He had a very weak impression of his great-great-grandfather. Before he could remember much, his great-grandfather was gone.
Sure enough, Zhao Zhongyi jumped out of the oxcart with a smile and carried the snot baby onto the oxcart.
Zhao Chuanxin discovered that Liu Guogui looked at the snot baby with eyes full of envy.
This guy hasn’t even started a family yet, and all he can think about is saving up money to marry a wife.
At this time, the kid in the lead, Wang, put his hands on his waist and said, "Zhao Hongzhi, get down here. I didn't even get on the bus with the yellow flag, how dare you make a mistake?"
Oh, He is not old and his tone is not young.
The Xianghuang Banner was the first of the Three Shang Banners, and its status was indeed noble in the Qing Dynasty. However, at this time, the bannermen in the Northeast region had completely declined, and not many people took them seriously. They were the only ones who enjoyed themselves a lot.
Zhao Chuanxin watched with great interest.
When Zhao Hongzhi heard this, he couldn’t sit still and wanted to get off the car.
But Zhao Zhongyi held him down, and then smiled and shouted to the children below, "Come up, I will pull you together."
It's interesting, Zhao Chuanxin I feel that my great ancestor was not that honest after all. Behind the kindness, there is alsoAn arrogance that doesn't want to be left behind.
When the children heard this, they howled and climbed onto the bullock cart.
Zhao Chuanxin took a look and realized, he jumped down to make room.
The child's face turned red with anger, "I don't take the car, our family all rides in the sedan."
But these children were howling and no one listened to him of.
In the end, he could only get in the car angrily. < /p>
Deford Fu
Zhao Chuanxin, who was drinking water, spurted it out in one gulp.
Seeing him like this, Liu Baoguo whispered to him, "This boy's family belongs to the Irgenjue Luo family, but the family is about to be ruined."
Irgenjue Luofu said angrily "You're talking nonsense. My father said that my family doesn't ride in sedan chairs because the doctor told my father to walk more to keep fit."
Suddenly, Zhao Chuanxin interrupted and said, "Your father lied to you. ”
Pfft
Liu Guogui and Zhao Zhongyi laughed unkindly.
Defu turned his head and pointed the finger at Zhao Chuanxin, "You are such a bold and cunning man. You even shaved off your braids. Do you want to rebel? Believe it or not, I will ask the government to arrest you."
p>
Zhao Chuanxin said nothing and took out a paper bag from his pocket, which was full of candy balls.
He said to Defu, "Want to eat?"
Defu swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
A circle of children were swallowing their saliva.
Zhao Chuanxin had already seen it.
Although Defu was neatly dressed, his tiger head hat was torn in several places and was mended crookedly. Although the clothes don't have pudding, they are completely smaller.
Just like most bannermen today, the donkey dung eggs have a shiny surface.
Defu turned his head.
Zhao Chuanxin scattered the candy balls around.
Finally, take one and put it in front of Telford.
A group of children were eating, and even Liu Baogui was a little greedy, not to mention Defu, who had not eaten candied snacks for a long time, but he had tasted it before.
In the end, I couldn’t resist the temptation, so I snatched it away and put it in my mouth.
This is maltose. The candy balls are very small. Most people buy a handful for their children to coax them into their mouths, especially during the holidays.
Zhao Chuanxin gave two more to Zhao Zhongyi and Liu Baogui.
After a while, these little kids were calling "Uncle, Uncle" very affectionately.
When he arrived at Zhao Zhongyi's house, Zhao Chuanxin met his great-great-grandmother and the old lady whom he no longer knew what to call, that is, Zhao Zhongyi's mother.
Both women had their feet bound
For some reason, Zhao Chuanxin got angry when he saw the feet. He was not angry with them, but angry with this era, and with those erotic aesthetics that regarded ugliness as beauty.
So, he took out another bag of candy balls as a door-to-door gift, and went back to his house with Liu Baobao. out of sightNot annoying.
Liu Guogui’s family can be said to be a family with only four walls.
The contents of the small food basket are his kitchen utensils. There was a square small kang table in the room, but there was nothing else.
Zhao Chuanxin sighed and refused to make a straw mat on the kang. He was afraid that there would be lice and fleas in it. Squatting at the door, he took out his diary and opened it to read.
Seeing Liu Baogui stretch his head to take a peek, he took the opportunity to ask, "Fugui, look what is written in this book."
Liu Baogui shook his head, "Nothing is written. Let's talk about it." , even if it is written, I can’t understand it, I am illiterate”
“Haha”
This is best. Only he can see the words in the diary.
I had a good rest and continued on the road.
Ah, it’s so unlucky to say that.
It gives people a bad feeling.
The Shadow Forest seems to have no end, and after walking through the small grassy path, every time I look back, it becomes difficult for me to recognize the return journey.
I walked for a long time and walked very far. There were dots of light among the trees in front of me. I thought I would walk out of the forest or see the light of day. As I got closer, I discovered that there was a patch of glowing flowers.
Among the flowers that shimmered like stars, I saw humanoid creatures, not much bigger than mice. They were working together, burying grass seeds in the soil.
They spotted me and one of the dwarfs ran towards me.
The dwarf is vomiting words from other people, strangers, are you lost?
Zhao Chuanxin’s heart was raised just now.
In his impression, dwarfs are usually cruel.
I shook my head, saying no.
The dwarf said to the stranger, the air here is full of spores. Try not to stay too long or you will get sick. Do you see those long-winged moths in the sky? They are attracted by the bright light of the lantern flowers. Their feces fall to the ground, nourishing the bacteria here, and after the bacteria die, they become nutrients for the lantern flowers. The fruit of the lantern flower is our food.
This kind of closed-loop ecosystem made Zhao Chuanxin interested. He had also heard that people who inhale too many spores would suffer from mushroom lung.
He wrote in his diary, "I asked the dwarfs why you don't get sick."
The dwarfs seemed happy to have outsiders chatting with him. , outsiders call us forest elves. Forest elves will never get sick or poisoned, that's the way our bodies are.
Zhao Chuanxin also wrote, "I said to the forest elves, if an animal eats you, will it be immune to all poisons?"
