Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 5
Wang Qiangui was a little confused.

In the morning, Liu Runiang passed by his door with great fanfare, and only then did he know that Zuo Fu, the daughter of the Zuo family, had returned from the dead!This matter is really strange, but after thinking about it afterwards, he reckoned that it was just a weak breath that was mistaken for death.

Although such a thing is rare, it is not unheard of, so I just laughed about it.It's just that the little lady came to the front now and said that she wanted to ask him to appraise the jewelry, which really made him a little unpredictable.

Ordinarily, he and her grandfather were business rivals. Although they wouldn't stab each other in the back, they couldn't talk about harmony.Could it be that this girl is here to make trouble? !After all, the daughter of Zuo Qianhu's family has not been self-willed for a day or two, and most of the people in Nanjing City know her glorious deeds.

She's a good girl, she's nothing more than a swordsman and a gun, but she still hangs out with a group of military boys all day long, making her look like a bum, without any sense of shame.If I were that Lu Huadai, I would have to withdraw from my marriage, which is not worthy of pity at all!What is an unruly woman going to do here?Cuckold yourself? !
Thinking of this, there was a gleam of coldness in his eyes, and just about to get angry, he caught a glimpse of the girl taking out a hairpin from her cuff, and then the words that made him even more confused floated over, "Shopkeeper, please take care of me!" , see how much is the right price?"

"You, you want to sell?"

Wang Qiangui couldn't understand Zuo Fu's routine, but when he saw the silver hairpin in Zuo Fu's hand clearly, he took a deep breath, and immediately ignored the reservedness of the big shopkeeper of Wang's Jewelry Company, and stretched out his hand. After picking up the silver hairpin, he couldn't help but marvel, "How is it possible?! How is it possible?! Who is this master's masterpiece? This, this..."

For a long time, he couldn't figure out the reason for "this", and finally he could only sigh, "Amazing skills, amazing skills!"

The level of modern craftsmanship was unimaginable to the ancients. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Wang Qiangui would never have believed that someone in this world could carve such meticulous and uniform patterns on this small silver hairpin.

This simply does not look like something done by humans. If there is no other way to describe it, it can only be a masterpiece of God, right?

He swallowed, feeling a little tightness in his throat, he couldn't help but clenched the silver hairpin tightly, and asked, "Zuo Qianjin, is this your grandparent's new treasure? I don't know which master it came from?"

Zuo Fu smiled and said, "I don't know about that! How about it? Shopkeeper Wang, take a look, how much is this worth?"

"Hehe, don't be joking, Qianjin. The old man has grown up with you for a generation. Isn't it kind of you to amuse the old man like this?"

"Why did Shopkeeper Wang say that?"

Zuo Fu pretended to be surprised, "I sincerely came to sell things..."

As he said that, he pretended to be shy and said: "I got into some trouble, my mother is very strict with me, but I also want to buy a lot of delicious things..."

What a prodigal!What crime did Zuo Dayou do?Not to mention marrying a fierce woman who can't give birth to a son, but giving birth to a daughter and being so prodigal, what a crime!
After hearing Zuo Fu's words, Wang Qiangui was full of sympathy for Zuo Dayou.But sympathy belongs to sympathy, business still needs to be done!

If you bring such a thing, it is definitely a treasure of the town shop just for this craft!Thinking about those noble ladies, Wang Qiangui only felt that Yinzi was already waving to him.Immediately, he showed sympathy and smiled understandingly: "That's how it is!"

After finishing speaking, he said indignantly: "The fault of this matter is not a thousand pieces of gold, Lingtang is too unreasonable."

villain!

Zuo Fu cursed inwardly, but the business still needs to be done, so he had no choice but to look helpless, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, shopkeeper."

After exchanging pleasantries, we got to the topic, "Shopkeeper, how much do you think this is worth?"

"This thing is made of silver, so it's not very valuable. But, the workmanship is pretty good, so I'll give you this number..."

Wang Qiangui stretched out two fingers, Zuo Fu was excited, "200 taels?!"

Wang Qiangui rolled his eyes, "20 taels!"

Zuo Fu was stunned for a moment, then got up, Wang Qiangui hurriedly said: "Hey, hey, where is Qianjin going?"

Zuo Fu sneered, "The shopkeeper doesn't want to do this business at all, why should I stay here to humiliate myself?!"

"What do you mean? 20 taels is not too low! Which silver hairpin..."

"Find me a similar one in the whole Nanjing city and try it out?"

Zuo Fu interrupted him, his smile became colder, "Could it be that you think I'm an idiot because of my small size?"

"that is."

Chen Guanyu also nodded, "Could it be that Zuo Qianjin is a bumpkin from the countryside? Even the poor, outsiders, think that this silver hairpin is very handy. If nothing else, just focus on this handicraft. You always resell it." One hundred taels of silver is not a problem, the rare is the most valuable."

Wang Qiangui twitched his cheeks, and smiled a little awkwardly, "This is an open door for business, so of course there is an opening and a return. If Qianjin is not satisfied with the price, we can still discuss it."

"Ha ha."

Zuo Fu sneered, "The big shopkeepers have already offered this price, how do you want me to discuss it? Come on, there is more than one jewelry store in Nanjing anyway. Master, let's go look elsewhere."

"Forty, forty!"

Seeing that Zuo Fu was really going to leave, Wang Qiangui became anxious and hurriedly said: "Buy with sincerity, buy with sincerity, don't leave with a thousand dollars!"

Zuo Fu sneered again, "Sorry, I don't want to sell now!"

"Don't, don't!"

Wang Qiangui is in a hurry!If this thing falls into another firm, won't it be beaten to death by the owner later?Thinking of this, he shouted, "How much did Qianjin say?!"

"60 taels, I won't sell anything less!"

"This, is this too high?"

Wang Qiangui looked puzzled, "It's just silver after all..."

"Are you blind?"

Zuofu snorted coldly, "How much is an opal worth? It's still an opal of this color!"

Wang Qiangui is gone.

How did this idiot become smarter after being resurrected from the dead?

"This is the price of my conscience."

Zuo Fu said with a stern face: "If the shopkeeper is sincere in doing business, I have something good to offer."

"What is it?"

Zuo Fu chuckled, "You don't do business with me sincerely, so why should I tell you what it is?"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and said, "Master, let's go."

"62 taels, 62 taels! Don't let the money go!"

Wang Qiangui hurriedly stopped Zuo Fu, smiled and cupped his hands, "The old man made an apology for you, Qianjin calm down, calm down."

As he said that, he slapped himself lightly, "Oh, don't you think that Qianjin is here to play tricks on this old man? After all, your grandfather's family owns a jewelry store, which is one of the best in Nanjing City..."

Zuo Fu chuckled and spit out a few words, "The heart of a villain!"

"Yes, yes, it's an old man and a villain, and the daughter can calm down, 62 taels, how about it?"

"Hehe, I won't sell it for 60 taels now."

Zuo Fu smiled and said, "70 taels, do you want it?"

"you!"

Wang Qiangui's eyes widened, "You're sitting on the ground and raising the price!"

Zuo Fu shook the silver hairpin and said, "Just for this opal, is this workmanship expensive at 70 taels? You can sell it for 200 taels every time you change hands, otherwise how can you add the two taels of silver so happily?"

You little bitch!
Wang Qiangui was cursing in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He just smiled and said, "70 is too much, how about 68? Everyone, please be lucky."

"Just seventy."

Zuo Fu was very firm, "You don't want me to go to another house."

After all, I have to leave again.Wang Qiangui stomped his feet, "Oh, my daughter, there is always something to be paid back in this business, you can't do it! From now on, the old man will charge a high price for your things, so how about the right to make a sweetheart?"

"Seventy is seventy, it doesn't make sense."

Zuo Fu shrugged, "Anyway, I'm afraid no one will buy the things."

Now Wang Qiangui is completely lost.What can you do with such a scoundrel?Not to mention Nanjing, even the entire Ming Dynasty couldn't find one.It is not unreasonable for people to be arrogant when things are rare.On the contrary, he couldn't miss this thing.If the boss finds out, he must be cut to death!

Thinking of this, he stomped his feet and gritted his teeth, saying, "Deal!"

Something that surprised him happened.The little lady who was still cold-faced suddenly turned into a spring breeze, and bowed with a smile, "Then thank you, the shopkeeper."

Got scammed!
This is Wang Qiangui's first impression!

Only then did he realize belatedly that he had been led away by this little lady from the beginning to the end. This, how is this possible? !No no no, it's not his fault!It's all because the hairpin is too delicate, making him lose his mind... Yes, it must be like this!
Watching several maidservants carrying silver backs support Zuo Fu to leave, Shopkeeper Wang silently shed two lines of tears: He hunted wild geese all day, but today he was hit in the eye by a wild goose, it is really sad...

In the Ming Dynasty, one tael of silver weighed 37.2 grams, and 70 taels of silver weighed about five catties.It's not heavy, but it's not suitable to walk across the street swaggering like this.But fortunately, Zuo Fu had many maidservants, so it wasn't too eye-catching for each of them.

This also gave Zuo Fu his first clear understanding of the Ming Dynasty: it was impossible for the random throwing of a hundred taels of silver in TV dramas to happen in ancient times.Which idiot would go shopping with such a heavy thing on his back?Can you still go shopping?And it can also be seen from this detail that the purchasing power of silver in ancient times was quite high!

Through Chen Guanyu's popular science, Zuo Fu learned that even in the last years of the dynasty, 70 taels of silver was enough to feed a family of five for many years, which shows the strong purchasing power of silver.

After receiving the money, Zuo Fu felt much more at ease.At the same time, news came from Taobao that her butterfly comb had been bought.It was the first time to sell things on Shikong Taobao, and she didn't know what price to set.No matter how exquisite the thing is, it can't be compared with modern craftsmanship. At the same time, she doesn't know whether it is considered an antique, so she only offered a trial price of [-], which counts as income. Now she is in urgent need of money. I don't care about that much anymore.

After walking for a while, I found a nice restaurant to enter.The way to employ people lies in opening and relaxing, Zuo Fu still understands this truth.Chen Guanyu contributed a lot when selling hairpins, and this reward is inevitable, otherwise, with nothing but threats, can others be loyal to you? !
