Chapter 8 Negotiations
In the private room, Qiu Laifu picked up the tea, blew on it, and took a long gulp of the tea, finally moistening his mouth.

At the same time, Qiu Zedong also took a sip of tea, pursed his lips, then put down his teacup and waited quietly. He was waiting until the child on the opposite side couldn't hold his breath and spoke first.

However, Qiu Laifu is even more patient.She drank a cup of tea and refilled it for herself. She knew that important negotiations often depend on who can keep calm, and whoever wins by three points first.

The tigers on the side were also very winking, playing with the grass in the basket.For a while, the atmosphere in the private room was a little dull.

Qiu Laifu didn't make a sound when she saw the man opposite, so she simply took out the stones from the basket and put them on the table to play with.

On the surface, it looks like she is playing with rocks, but in fact she is showing it to the man opposite.

Looking at the baby in front of her, she couldn't believe that the person surnamed Qiu was not tempted or greedy.

Of course, his move also depends on the person. If the other party's character is not good, she would never dare to do it.

She is also sure that the other party's character is not bad.Just now at the entrance of the teahouse, she clearly heard Xiao Er calling him Mr. Qiu.Since he is called an adult, he must be an official, regardless of the size of the official, in short, he did not put on the airs of an official to oppress others.Then the character of this person is trustworthy.

Qiu Laifu's display made Qiu Zedong want to snatch the stone into his hands.

Finally he spoke first, "Tell me, little guy, do you want to exchange for a stone or sell it directly." Qiu Laifu rolled his eyes, really thinking that he is a child and wants to exchange for a stone.

In fact, she is really a child's body, but others don't know that the core inside is an adult.

"Do you want to change it? Do you still want to buy it? Let me tell you first, if the stone you brought is not good-looking, I won't change it." She said this to tell the man in front of her, don't look at me I'm a kid trying to fool me.

Qiu Zedong's answer was very good, "Sell it to me! As long as you are willing to sell this stone to me, I can also send you another beautiful stone. Please pay a price."

Qiu Laifu also doesn't know the price of rough stones in this world, and it's not easy to ask for a price, "It's fine if uncle gave me a piece, I know you are a stone gambling enthusiast, and I believe stone gambling people are very honest, so Make a price." After speaking, he pushed the stone in front of the man opposite.

Qiu Zedong took the stone without politeness, looked at it carefully and touched it carefully.This stone is obviously green. It is conservatively estimated that the diameter of the green may be three or four inches. If it is opened, it can be used as a whole set of jewelry. From the appearance, it can be seen that the quality of this jade is high-grade.

"100 taels." Qiu Zedong offered the price in his mind.Don't go round the corner when you're dealing with smart people.But still can't help but want to press.

Qiu Laifu rolled his eyes again, why is this person like this!Knowing the price range, but still shooting yellow guns like this, is it because she is trying to deceive people, because she is a child?
Qiu Laifu remained silent, carefully sizing up Mr. Qiu in front of him, thinking to himself, could it be a hypocrite.

Looking at his face, his face is white and beardless, his thick eyebrows slant into his temples, his eyes are clear and piercing, his nose is straight and his mouth is square, and his face is square.Putting on a smile, it looks like a full-fledged gentleman, more amiable.Such a face is so deceiving.

Looking at his hand stroking the stone, there are thin calluses on the pads of ten fingers, while the thumb, index finger, and middle finger of his right hand are thicker.It can be guessed that he is a scholar who loves to play with stones.Seeing that there are no calluses on his tiger's mouth, it means that this person is not from Lianjiazi.Don't worry about him stealing it.

"Is this uncle's sincerity?" Qiu Laifu looked at him with a half-smile.

The eyes are slightly squinted but sharp. "In that case, I'd better leave it to my grandpa." Then he reached for the stone.

Qiu Zedong pressed the stone tightly and laughed, "Don't worry, don't worry, if you have something to say, why don't you set a price yourself."

"200 taels, the same price." Qiu Laifu said affirmatively.

"150 taels, you will definitely not lose money at this price." Qiu Zedong was still talking about the price with a smile on his face.

Qiu Laifu stared at the uncle intently for a few seconds, thinking about his own business. He had no proof of identity during his journey, so it didn't matter to a small place, but a big place definitely wouldn't work.

I have come all the way and don't know where to take root?A proof of identity is required.I just don't know if this person can do it. "I wonder if my lord can do me a favor?"

"That depends on what's going on? I'm a weak official, so if it's something big, I'm sure I can't do it." Qiu Zedong firmly stood his ground, he would not do anything illegal.

"My lord thinks too much, I just want to get two household registrations and two road guides. My house was robbed, and only my younger brother and I were left in the house, and the house was also burned down.

So we don't have a household registration certificate now.We are going to go to my grandpa's house, and my grandpa's house is in Kyoto.So I have to trouble my lord to make up two more road guides. "

50 taels for two road leads worth.Qiu Laifu thought proudly.

"How can my little brother be sure that I can handle this matter well?" Qiu Zedong said doubtfully.

"Master Qiu is an adult, no matter how big or small your official position is, it is definitely no problem to have two household registrations." After Qiu Laifu finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank tea without wanting to say more.

"Okay, I'll do it for you just because you are so refreshing. It's really difficult for you two children to get on the road, so let me help you." He is really an official, and he never forgets to give Take credit yourself.

Qiu Laifu didn't care about these anymore.He also thanked him humbly.

After the tea was finished and the matter was discussed, Qiu Zedong took Qiu Laifu and Huzi to the Yamen, where they successfully registered their household registration and got the road guide.

This time, Qiu Laifu directly changed Huzi's name to Qiu Xiaohu in the household registration, and filled in the West District of Linghe County directly for the household registration location.

The address is vague but Qiu Laifu thinks it is very good.Then there is paying with one hand and delivering the goods with the other, Qiu Laifu successfully earned 150 taels.Qiu Laifu, who was carrying a large amount of banknotes, had a calm demeanor that shocked Huzi and threw himself to the ground in admiration.

In fact, Qiu Laifu was not as calm as he appeared on the surface, and his heart was also tense like a stormy sea.She knew that the rough stone was valuable, but she didn't expect it to be so valuable. When she negotiated the price with Qiu Zedong, she was also pretending to be deceitful.

The bank note in her arms is also a sweet burden, and she wants to spend it quickly.

Qiu Laifu, who walked out of the yamen, turned back to look for Qiu Zedong. At this time, Qiu Zedong had returned to the back yamen, came to his lounge, locked the door behind him, and studied the stone in the room.

Qiu Laifu didn't find anyone, so he went straight to the inner courtyard of the yamen, calling for Mr. Qiu loudly while walking.

Occasionally, officials in the yamen saw it and did not dare to stop it.Because they were brought in politely by Mr. Qiu.

Qiu Zedong, who hid in the lounge, was not disturbed, so he called the head catcher and told him that Qiu Laifu would take care of everything for him.

For unknown reasons, the head-captor sadly became Qiu Laifu's temporary assistant.

"Master Catcher, you know someone who sells boats, I just want to buy a small boat." Qiu Laifu showed her spirit of asking if she didn't understand.

Chen Butou took a look at the little boy, he was covered in dust, and he wanted to buy a boat, which seemed to be a long journey.And got the special care of Mr. Qiu.Chen Butou didn't dare to ask more questions, he just guessed in his heart.

"If you want to buy a used one, you can go to the West Street Yacht Shop, and if you want to buy a new one, you can go to Huang Carpenter's shop." Chen Butou answered with all his value.

"Then go to Carpenter Huang's shop first." Carpenter Huang's shop is at the end of West Street, and further ahead is the wharf. There are all kinds of furniture from this era in the shop, but there are no boats.Qiu Laifu looked at the headhunter suspiciously.

The catcher led them to continue walking inside, and entered the inner room, where several small boats were arranged neatly.

The shopkeeper was invited to bargain, and finally bought a 12-meter-long and [-]-meter-wide boat at a price of [-] taels of silver, with a [-]-meter cabin, and a bunk bed that was [-] meter wide and [-] meters long. Qiu Laifu wanted a place to stay at night.

After paying half of the silver, the rest will be sent to the pier before paying the final payment.

 Fu Nu's drifting boat has been upgraded, everyone likes it.
