One person above Qing Huang Ting

Yuzhou City, Yong'an Dang.

"A jade bracelet inlaid with gold wire. It is crystal clear and milky white like mutton fat. It is a top-grade jade stone. The bracelet is inlaid with golden silk patterns of bat reeds."

Ding Shiyan stood at the high counter, carefully appraising the pawn items just sent by the customer. At the same time, he spoke his appraisal loudly to inform the customer. At the same time, he kept writing and recorded the characteristics of the bat-reed gold pattern jade bracelet in the book.

This is the pawn ticket, which is the certificate for subsequent pawned items.

That is to say, Jing Yi was saved by Hu Xiuwu, but the owner of Yong'an Dang, Tang Kun, the master of Tangjiabao, was still alive, and Jingyi was still the shopkeeper of Yong'an Dang.

Under his leadership, Yongandang still adheres to the concept of honest management.

It won't be like other pawnshops where good things come in and must be called junk goods, but the mink coat turns into a "worm-eaten, rat-eaten, hairless, tattered cotton coat", and the pear and sandalwood furniture turns into "firewood" "Tank" and beautiful jade and treasures turned into "fake stones and crude carvings", all in order to lower the pawn price.

Yongan Dang will not do this kind of business. We always tell the truth and collect pawn items at market prices. Although the profit is not much, it is well-known in Yuzhou City, and there is an endless stream of customers coming to the door every day.

However, although Yongan should pay attention to honest management, it is still a shop and cannot lose money in business.

Yongan Dang does collect things at market prices, so this also requires Chaofeng to have precise vision and accurate pricing.

The price they give is high, so the error tolerance rate is much lower than that of other pawnshops. You must not misjudge something and give a high price. When the goods are received in the warehouse, you find that they are defective and not worth the price at all. Then the pawnshop can Going to lose money.

No one will come to redeem the inflated pawn items,

And among the people who come to pawn, not only are they desperate people, but there are also swindlers who use fake or defective products to rob the pawn shop's cash. What's more, there are even thousands of people who work in gangs to defraud people. Large amounts of gold and silver.

Yong'an Dang, this kind of righteous businessman with a good reputation is their goal.

What, Yongan is a charity shop and the shopkeeper is a good person.

Isn't that better? Good people are more easily deceived.

Ding Yiyan carefully stroked the jade bracelet and noticed that the pawn man's expression was a little nervous. He smiled slightly and realized clearly how he could hide this little trick.

I wanted to point out the pros and cons directly, but I saw a young man who was peeping his head, quietly sneaking up to him, his eyes almost touching the jade bracelet.

Ding Yiyan stretched out his hand and knocked, then he came close to the door and felt Zhengjia's forehead, laughing and cursing:

"Sedum, you ran to the counter again. I'm not afraid that your father will whip you with a cane again."

Hearing 'rattan', Jingtian subconsciously shrank back, revealing his handsome and free-spirited face with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.

Jingtian was handsome, but after spending a long time in the shop, his handsomeness was masked by the smell of copper. The way he looked at the jade bracelet shining in his eyes made him look a bit philistine.

Jingtian looked around and found that his father was not there. He remembered that his father was taking care of his pregnant mother at home, so he became confident again, straightened his chest, and whispered in a majestic voice:

"Don't be afraid. How could I, a tall and dignified man of seven feet, bend my waist for a cane?"

Ding Yiyan teased: "Well, then why did I see you kneeling in the backyard yesterday?"

Jingtian's face turned red. He didn't expect that Uncle Ding would see him being punished yesterday, but he still said harshly: "I am filial and worried that he will be tired from lifting the cane."

Ding Yiyan wanted to ask more questions and tease Jingtian, but the guests who came to pawn the jade bracelet were a little impatient: "Do you want to do business? I'm here to pawn the jade bracelet, not to listen to your opera."

No matter what this man has on his mind, he is Yongan’s customer after all, and making money by being friendly is the store’s purpose. Ding Yiyan cupped his fists and apologized:

"Forgive me, guest, I will set the price for you now."

Turning around, he saw Jingtian eager to give it a try. Ding Yiyan smiled and said, "Jingtian, how much do you think this jade bracelet should be priced at?"

When Jingtian heard about the opportunity to get started, he immediately became excited, coughed twice, cleared his throat, and shouted to the guests:

"A jade bracelet inlaid with gold wire. It is crystal clear and milky white like mutton fat. It is a top-grade jade stone. The bracelet is inlaid with bat reed gold wire patterns. It should be priced at one hundred taels of silver."

The pawnbroker outside looked happy.

"But~" Jingtian drawled his voice, imitating Ding Yiyan's accent, and said in an old-fashioned way, "Jade bracelets are all for appreciating the natural beauty of jade, the god of perfection and gentleness. Since the Tang Dynasty, there have been few beautiful jade inlaid with gold patterns. This move was regarded by the masters as superfluous."

The pawnbroker's smile froze on his face, while Ding Yiyan stroked his beard and smiled. Seeing Uncle Ding's expression, Jingtian gained some confidence and his voice became louder: "Inlaid with gold and carved, it is mostly used on medium-grade or low-grade jade bracelets. It is carved with gold patterns to cover up the flaws in the jade quality."

"In addition, the gold-inlaid patterns on the jade bracelet also have a function, which is to cover up the scars and cracks on the jade bracelet."

"It is said that there is a porcelain maker who has a unique skill of flying over a bridge to reach immortality. He can use gold wire to repair a broken jade bracelet. The repaired jade bracelet has no flaws, which is a masterpiece of craftsmanship."

Jingtian picked up the jade bracelet on the cushion and pointed out the slight protrusions on the gold pattern to the pawn: "But the craftsman who repaired your bracelet was not very skilled. Although he managed to repair the jade bracelet, the bat pattern was too harsh. , for fear that the jade would break again, I used too much gold wire at the broken area, which is neither fish nor fowl."

"A complete jade bracelet can be priced at one hundred taels, but your repaired jade bracelet with gold threads only costs fifty taels."

After inspecting Jingtian's note-taking skills, Ding Yiyan didn't wait for the pawnbroker's quibbles and spoke first: "My opinion is the same as that of the clerk. This jade bracelet is only worth fifty taels. I wonder if you, my guest, should still treat it as a pawn?"

The pawnbroker was about to get angry when he saw Jingtian put his hand into his sleeve, took out a small half of a bamboo pipe, and threatened: "Guests, please don't forget who the owner of our Yongan pawn is!"

Tangjiabao, the Tang Sect specializes in poisonous hidden weapons!

The pawnbroker, who was so angry that he suddenly calmed down, said reluctantly: "Fifty taels is fifty taels!"

Obviously, he knows the truth about the jade bracelet.

Ding Yiyan did not rush the guests, he wrote the pawn ticket skillfully and asked Jingtian to go to the warehouse to get fifty taels of silver and wrap it up.

Jingtian handed him fifty taels of silver together with the pawnbroker's share of the pawn ticket.

The pawnman took the money, and although he was a little reluctant, the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising.

Jingtian looked at the man's back and spat: "Humph, you are such a picky guy. He didn't even look where he was. He actually dared to test your Grandpa Ding's eyesight."

Ding Yiyan laughed dumbly: "Okay, don't brag about me, but when did you learn the Tang Sect's craftsmanship?"

Jingtian smiled slyly and took out the entire bamboo tube from his sleeve, with the note 'Soy Sauce' stuck on it:

"What kind of poisonous skills do I have? It's just two ounces of soy sauce that dad asked me to bring back."

Ding Yiyan laughed loudly: "You are such a ghost!"

While the two were chatting and joking, Jingtian suddenly looked at the gate of Yong'an Dang on a whim. His heart was beating fast. The excessive spiritual awareness made him panic.

It seems that something that can change his destiny is getting closer and closer to him.

Ding Yiyan looked at Jingtian, who looked suddenly uneasy, and asked with concern: "Xiaotian, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Jingtian grabbed the clothes on his chest with his right hand and said uneasily: "I, I don't know either."

"God General Feipeng has a deep foundation. He has been reincarnated for thousands of years and has been washed away by cold marrow many times. Yet he still has such a keen sense of spirituality."

As soon as Hu Xiuwu arrived in Yuzhou City, he discovered Sedum in Yong'an and rushed over directly.

A breeze blew into the counter, and Ding Yiyan fell against the wind. Jingtian was fine, but was swept up by the breeze and carried out of the counter.

"What is it, a god? A monster?"

Sedum was suspended in the air, like a drowning person, waving its limbs in panic.

Hu Xiuwu took out the jade bottle containing Longtan spring water and comforted Jingtian: "Just rest assured for a while."

"Sorry."

The water from Longtan Spring poured down on his head. Hu Xiuwu recited a hymn and summoned the power of Longtan.

"Exchange Sedum's memory for Fei Peng and return."

The Longtan spring water pouring on Sedum is boiling, and the steam rises like a dragon. After all the Longtan spring water has evaporated into steam, it returns to Longtan.

The boy named Jingtian disappeared,

The god will fly back like lightning.
