Farming Space: The Lucky and Lovely Lady Come to Farm

Chapter 161 Worth a Thousand Gold

The Gu family's mule cart walked for a while. Gu Fei saw a silver building on the street and hurriedly called to Gu Qing, "Brother, stop for a moment. I'll go to the silver building to take a look."

Mrs. Chen looked at the silver building and nodded, "I have to buy some jewelry. For such an old girl, it doesn't look good with a bald head."

Gu Fei turned around and said, "Mom, I'm not buying jewelry, I'm just going to look at it."

With just this little money in hand, how could she dare to buy jewelry? She entered the silver building for other reasons.

 Several women got out of the car and entered the silver building.

The waiter in the store saw the people coming in and took a quick look at them. He saw that they were all wearing brand new clothes. The clothes were not good, but not bad either.

 It is the standard of ordinary people in Ping An City.

This kind of family likes to buy some silver hairpins, silver bracelets, or some low-grade jade jewelry.

The waiter smiled and stepped forward, "Madams, please come this way. A batch of newly-made silver hairpins have just arrived in the store. They are novel in style. They are luxurious and beautiful to wear when visiting relatives and friends during the New Year."

Gu Fei smiled and said, "I don't want a silver hairpin. Do you have any beads in your store? I want to see the beads."

The waiter was still smiling, "Girl, do you want to buy beads and flowers? Or just buy beads and set the jewelry yourself?"

 “I want to see pearls.” Gu Fei said simply.

"Here you guys are, please." The waiter led Gu Fei and the others into a small door next to them. They saw several wooden tables placed inside. The tables were divided into many small grids, and each small grid was filled with A pearl flower contains single pearls.

 The waiter saw Chen and Lian'er's eyes widening when they looked at the pearl, and he knew in his mind that this must have never been seen before.

Gu Fei saw a chain of white beads. Each pearl was about one centimeter in diameter. It had a very good luster. They were all about the same size and round in shape. The price was listed at 4,500 taels of silver.

The waiter next to him saw Gu Fei looking at the bead chain and said, "This bead chain has a total of 108 beads. It is not easy to get them together to be about the same size and the same color, so the price is a little more expensive."

He smiled and said, "That's it for these pearls. The one that's valuable is worth a thousand gold."

"Of course, the quality is not good and the size is small, so it is not valuable, so it will be sold for two cents. The smallest rice beads only cost a few taels of silver, so they are worthless."

"There are four words for picking pearls: light, round, big, and colorful."

He pointed to a white pearl and said: "This pearl is almost perfectly round and not too small. The rare thing is that the luster is particularly good, but it is not even eight points. As the saying goes, seven points for a pearl and eight points for a treasure. If this bead were bigger, it wouldn’t be this price, at least a thousand taels.”

Gu Fei looked at it and saw that the white bead was priced at five hundred taels.

Looking at the side, there is a pearl about one centimeter in diameter. It looks quite big, slightly larger than lotus seed rice. It is light pink in color and has a price tag of two thousand taels.

 Her heart became hot when she saw it, and asked the waiter, "Do you also collect beads here?"

  The waiter nodded, "Of course I charge it, but the price charged and the price sold are still different."

Gu Fei understood. It would be cheaper to collect it than the listed price. Otherwise, there would be no profit, so why sell it?

 After walking around in a circle, Gu Fei had an idea of ​​the price of pearls.

Mrs. Chen didn't know Gu Fei's intention. She saw that her daughter's head was bald and she watched Gu Fei walk away. She called the waiter and reluctantly spent ten taels of silver to buy a pair of beads strung with small pearls.

Mrs. Chen thought that the money was earned by her daughter. Now that her family had a house to live in and land, if she could live a good life, she should dress her up beautifully.
