Chapter 416 Untitled(2/2)
Although Jingyi knew that this was the pawnshop's practice of lowering prices, she still couldn't help but argue: "Besides, don't your buttons be eye-catching?"
Na Chaofeng glanced condescendingly at Jingyi through the railing, and asked lightly: "Three taels of silver, should I take it seriously?"
"Why don't you go and grab it?! Which of these two clothes can't be obtained for less than ten taels of silver? And this button..."
Jingyi became more and more angry. When she went to sell things last time, although Chaofeng was very picky and found faults, the extra money he paid was still reasonable, but this time the price was simply outrageous.
"Then you go and look elsewhere first."
But Chao Feng said nothing and pushed the things back from the entrance of the cave: "If there is anything with a price higher than this, you will come back and spit on me!"
"Bah, I'm too lazy to come!"
Jingyi angrily grabbed the buttons of her clothes and stormed out the door.
The apprentice who was silently wiping the counter next to him rushed out the door and peeked outside. He returned to the room and hesitated: "Shopkeeper, is this... three taels of silver for this thing a bit too much? What if she is elsewhere..."
"You'll find out later."
But Chao Feng looked confident.
As expected.
More than half an hour later, just as 'Heng Shu Dian' was about to close, Jingyi walked in silently again and stuffed the buttons of her clothes through the hole.
Chao Feng took a few leisurely glances and asked in a loud voice: "Two taels and eighty cents of silver, should I take it or not?"
"you!"
Jingyi said angrily: "Didn't you just say it was three taels of silver?!"
Chao Feng immediately made a gesture to return the things, and he still said the same words: "How about you go somewhere else, and if you find something with a higher price than this, you come back and spit on me..."
"Done!"
Jingyi gritted her silver teeth and interrupted Chaofeng's rhetoric.
Chaofeng immediately ordered his apprentice to weigh the money for Jingyi, and then watched her go out with a smile on his face.
The apprentice was stunned when he looked at it. At this time, he couldn't help but go forward and look at the buttons of the clothes. Finally he scratched his head and said: "Shopkeeper, why do I think these things can be used as at least fifteen taels? What is wrong with this? I
Why can't you see it?"
"hehe."
Chao Feng smiled slightly: "There is nothing wrong with the things, but there is something wrong with the people."
The apprentice thought he had grasped the key point, and suddenly said: "Are you saying this is stolen goods?"
"If it's stolen property, it's worth at least five taels."
Chao Feng sneered: "This little nun has offended the noble! To tell you the truth, all the pawnshops nearby have been notified. The farther away they are, the harder they have to lower her price. If she doesn't sell to us, who else can she sell to?"
?”
After saying that, he wrapped the clothes buttons in a bag and handed them to the apprentice through the fence: "Send this to Jiao Mansion."
"Which Jiao Mansion?"
"Of course it's the house of Mr. Jiao, the head of the Ministry of Industry's Affairs Department."
"I know, I know, it's the one who gets scolded all the time lately!"
The apprentice looked excited: "People say he is a traitor to the country, so this little nun is not a loyal queen, right? Just like the one in the play, an orphan?"
"Zhao's Orphan."
Chao Feng cleared up his confusion and immediately urged: "Send the things over quickly."
The apprentice agreed and hurried away carrying his things.
In about a quarter of an hour, the apprentice trotted back. Seeing that Chao Feng was still writing something at his desk, he smiled and said: "Shopkeeper, I have already sent the things. Do you think there is anything else to do?"
His eyes were filled with hope as he spoke, hoping that Chao Feng would just say "Nothing happened" so that he could get on the board and rest early.
But he heard the order from Chao Feng without raising his head: "Go out and close the door from the outside."
"Why."
The apprentice simply agreed and was about to walk out when he suddenly felt something was wrong and turned back to look at Chao Feng in astonishment: "Shopkeeper, what do you mean?"
"You're fired, why don't you go home early while it's still dark?"
"Why?!"
"Why?"
Chao Feng pointed to the plaque outside the door and asked: "Who is the owner of our Hengshudian?"
"Ziwei is a member of the Xue family, how can this little one not know that?"
"Where is Mrs. Xue family now?"
"Rong Guofu, you say this eight times a day!"
"Where is this Uncle Jiao now?"
"It seems, it seems that it was also said in the newspaper in Rongguo Mansion..."
"Hmph~"
Chao Feng snorted: "Isn't this the end? In our line of work, we don't fight greedy people or lazy people, only those who can't open our eyes! You dare to talk nonsense about Uncle Jiao. If I don't quit you, won't you suffer in the future?
