Elder Xu widened his eyes, wondering if this kid is crazy, asking for a hundred silver coins is enough for a lion to open his mouth, yet he still says double
Jiang Chaoge pointed to the four kinds of bulk materials he brought, "Even if only one of these four prefecture-level bulk materials can be made into weapons, it will earn more than one gold coin. What is Xu Lao worried about?"
Xu Lao thought for a while, "I really can't take out so much at the moment, how about fifty silver coins?"
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said: "How much money is a big deal, fifty silver coins, I can only promise half of the interest for Xu Lao."
Xu Lao's eyes were erratic, obviously undecided, but in the end he was not brave enough, "I really can't get more cash."
"Okay, fifty is fifty, thank you Mr. Xu."
When he came out with the money, Meng Sheng sighed, "You are snowballing. How did you get so much money without knowing it?"
Jiang Chaoge smiled lightly: "This amount of money is not enough." There is still 950 silver coins short of a gold coin to his goal. Whether he can make enough money in a short period of time depends on his next actions. .
"Xiao Jiang, what else do you want to do?"
"It's too slow to get money just by reselling bulk materials."
"Do you want to buy a whole piece of animal material? Fifty silver coins are not enough. You can't buy one of them."
"There is a way." Jiang Chaoge patted Zhi Xuan, "Little ancestor, do you think making money is fun?"
Zhi Xuan rolled his eyes, "It's kind of interesting."
"Accompany me in a show for a while, and get the money. I'll pack a wine cellar for you to drink."
Zhi Xuan pinched his cheek, "Is what you said true?"
"Of course it's true, how dare I lie to you."
Meng Sheng looked at Jiang Chaoge with a complicated expression.
After returning home, Jiang Chaoge put Zhi Xuan in the room to rest, and called Meng Sheng outside the room alone, "Meng Lao, I have something to tell you." He told Meng Sheng that Zhi Xuan had several words that he did not understand. Those words not only made him puzzled, but also disturbed him, such as the sentence "If you are too weak, you will cause me to lose...", could it be that Zhi Xuan What other enemies
After Meng Sheng heard his words, his expression was amazed, and fine sweat broke out on his forehead, "He said he can't be killed, but can only be sealed?"
Jiang Chaoge nodded, "He drank a lot yesterday, is it possible that he was talking nonsense?"
Meng Sheng's lips trembled, then shook his head, "I'm not sure, it's really possible that I'm confused by drinking and drinking? What does it mean 'I can't be killed', and what does it mean 'make me lose'?"
Jiang Chaoge was suspicious. Meng Sheng's expression just now made him think that Meng Sheng must know something. Why does he seem to be as confused as him now? He said, "I don't understand, I thought you would understand."
Meng Sheng frowned deeply, "To be honest, I don't understand, are we underestimating him too much, he has always appeared in the appearance of a child, after all, he has lived for thousands of years, maybe it's not as simple as he shows. ."
Jiang Chaoge nodded, "His appearance is really confusing. He has never told us what kind of beast he is, which is the most puzzling point."
"Yeah, what's the point of keeping it a secret..."
"You really have no idea at all?"
Meng Sheng shook his head, "Next time I'll ask Elder Xu, he knows more than me."
"Okay, I'll take him out to do some errands, and he won't be back for dinner."
"Be careful and try to keep a low profile."
"rest assured."
When Jiang Chaoge turned around, Meng Sheng's face changed, his eyes were as gray as death for a moment, filled with fear, and the old hands were shaking slightly...
Jiang Chaoge hugged Zhi Xuan and went out, he was going to find Sun An.
On the way, Jiang Chaoge repeatedly urged: "Let's agree, how to behave then, don't temporarily demolish my stage, then our wine will fly."
Zhi Xuan rolled his eyes and said, "Don't talk anymore, I know. "
As soon as Sun An saw him, he said as if taking credit: "Brother, I haven't been lazy at all in what you told me to do these days. The stalls in Hu'an City that sell ghost herbs have almost been touched by me. I found that Almost all of them come from the same village, and if you look for one, you can find a bunch."
Jiang Chaoge patted him on the shoulder, "Great, you did a great job, now go do something with me."
"Okay, you said."
"Take me to the best clothing store in town."
"what?"
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "Change your outfit."
Although Sun An didn't know why, he still took Jiang Chaoge with him. At first, the owner of the ready-to-wear store didn't take it seriously when he saw that they were dressed in poor clothes, until Jiang Chaoge threw out five silver coins and asked for the best clothes in the store.
In less than half an hour, the three shot guns and changed guns, dressed in embroidered costumes, and they were extravagant.
Sun An sighed: "Brother, I have never worn such good clothes in my life."
Jiang Chaoge pinched his chin and looked at it, "Pretend me to look like you for a while, don't look like you have never seen the world, and don't laugh like that. If you want to look down on no one, only I am obedient."
Sun An nodded again and again, "Brother, why are you taking me there?"
"Tell you on the way." Jiang Chaoge picked up a little tiger hat, "Boss, give this to me."
The boss nodded and bowed, "No problem, no problem, you can take it."
Jiang Chaoge put his hat on Zhi Xuan's head and said with a smile, "Come and see, it's pretty."
Zhi Xuan touched his hat, "Really?"
Jiang Chaoge smoothed his long hair, "Really, wearing it on your head is different."
Zhi Xuan snorted out of his nose, his tone sounded more pleasant.
After the three changed their looks, they headed for the largest pawnshop in Hu'an City.
It was just after lunch, the sun was hot, there were few people on the street, and the pawnshop was crowded. As soon as the three of them entered the house, a wealthy middle-aged man greeted him and said respectfully, "Sir, please come in, the small shop. I just arrived at the top-quality tea from Luwu Mountain, and I was looking for a person like you to savour the taste."
With a tongue-smacking expression, Sun An probably didn't expect that after changing clothes, the treatment of people before and after would be so different.
Jiang Chaoge coughed lightly and gestured to him with his eyes.
Sun An immediately raised his chin, "My family has recently liked to drink dark tea from overseas. Does the boss have it?"
The man hurriedly smiled and said: "This, the shop really doesn't have it, and I'm not the boss. The boss isn't here today, and I'm his manager."
Jiang Chaoge said lazily, "You don't need tea or something." He lowered his voice, "I have something of the highest quality that I want the steward to see."
The steward's eyes lit up, "Sir, please come in."
The three were taken into the private room.
The steward couldn't wait to say: "Sir, I don't know what baby you brought?"
Jiang Chaoge smiled, "Is this the biggest pawnshop in Hu'an City?"
"Of course it is."
"I heard that you have pawned a lot of valuable treasures."
The steward laughed and said, "I don't dare to say other places, but in Hu'an City, if there are things that even our family dares not touch, other families will even dare not."
"Very good, so I only came to find you a few days ago, but let me say it first, this kind of thing is extraordinary, you dare not ask for it, you can, but whether you want it or not, if you reveal a little bit about today's affairs , don't blame me for being rude."
The steward smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the most important thing for us to do in this business is to obey the rules."
"In addition, I must come to redeem this kind of thing. If it is not urgent, I will not hand it over here. If you accept it, you must keep it strictly."
"Don't mention it, it's a must." Although Jiang Chaoge tried his best to indulge his appetite, the person in charge was not too excited. He had been a pawnshop for many years, and he had never seen any kind of bragging, so he wouldn't be overwhelmed by Jiang Chaoge's words. Intimidated, but he was indeed a little curious.
Jiang Chaoge gave Sun An a wink.
Sun An immediately took out an exquisite gift box from his arms and carefully placed it on the table.
The steward rubbed his hands, and under Jiang Chaoge's gesture, he gently opened the gift box.
Lying inside was Jiang Chaoge's black diamond ring. The ring is about 8 mm wide, with a platinum setting, with 12 small black diamonds inlaid around the ring, with a total weight of more than 5 carats. He confirmed with Lao Meng in advance that another world has not produced black diamonds, which are used to fool you. People are still pretty decent.
Sure enough, when the steward saw the ring, his eyes were straight. Rao was a man of extensive knowledge, and he had never seen anything like this before. The black diamond shone with jet-black and gorgeous fire, and it was not an ordinary thing at first glance. He couldn't be sure what it was, and was stunned for a while.
Jiang Chaoge whispered, "You don't know what this is?"
The manager wiped his sweat, "The villain is stupid, I really don't know what this is, is this something from overseas?"
Jiang Chaoge nodded, "It's no wonder that you haven't seen it before. You can't find a second one in the entire Tianling Continent. It's called 'Black Diamond'."
"'Black Diamond'?" The steward chewed these three words, "What's so wonderful about this gem?"
"Isn't unique enough amazing?"
The steward smiled and said, "Yes, yes, amazing."
"And the most amazing thing about it is that it is indestructible, harder than anything in the world."
The stewards were a little skeptical.
"If you don't believe it, you can try it. What do you think is the hardest in this room?"
The manager thought for a while, then pointed to the wall brick, "This brick should be extremely hard."
Jiang Chaoge picked up the ring, and without thinking, he swiped hard on the wall.
The steward's heart was beating wildly, for fear that the gem would be damaged, and there was no time to stop it. He had already seen a long trace drawn on the wall. Jiang Chaoge pointed the ring at him, and blew lightly to remove the dust on the surface. The ring is intact, with no traces left.
The steward was stunned.
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "How? How much gold do you think such a treasure is worth?" He said the gold coin directly, giving the manager the strongest psychological suggestion, so that the price would never be less than one gold coin.
The steward took a deep breath and seemed to calm down a bit, "Sir, this baby is indeed a good thing, but only the boss can handle such a large business."
Jiang Chaoge laughed loudly, "Since you are the manager of the pawnshop, you can't even hold a ring? I don't really believe it."
The steward sneered: "The villain also thinks this is a good thing, but after all, I have never seen it... I really don't know about overseas things. I really don't dare to make random decisions at the moment."
"Why, you don't believe this is something from overseas?"
"No, it's just that the villain has never seen it before."
Jiang Chaoge took back the ring, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he took off the tiger hat on Zhi Xuan's head, and Zhi Xuan's bright golden eyes were immediately exposed.
The manager was startled, "This... This is... "
Jiang Chaoge glanced at Zhi Xuan and said with a smile, "Has the manager never seen an overseas alien before?"
"Is this child..."
Zhi Xuan looked at the steward, his eyes widened, his pupils seemed to be on fire, as if they were burning.
If Zhi Xuan was in the form of an adult, the manager would naturally think of it as a soul beast. After all, although there are very few heaven-level soul weapons, he has still heard of it, but the appearance of this young child is similar to that of the legendary heaven-level soul. The weapons were almost impossible to hit, and they successfully bluffed the manager.
Jiang Chaoge put the hat back on Zhi Xuan's head, and said in a low voice, "This is what I want you to keep a secret. I will tell you the truth. With this alien child, I can still get a lot of overseas exotic treasures. I've put it all in, and now as long as I have more gold coins, I can get more treasures. You are the only one who knows this secret, not even your boss, you know what I mean."
The steward's heart was beating wildly, of course he understood what Jiang Chaoge meant. If he really helped Jiang Chaoge get more overseas treasures, he would be able to be the boss himself.
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said: "I also know that you are not the boss after all. If you ask too much, you can't be the master. Let's just say that I only need two gold coins, so I only need two. You usually get a few cents, and I will give you double. , of course… those given to stewards don’t count.”
The steward's eyes were a little red, and his fat body trembled slightly with excitement. He wiped the sweat from his forehead again, "Sir... I believe in you, but two gold coins, I really can't be the master, If the boss finds out, I'll be finished."
Jiang Chaoge smiled, "Then you go and invite the boss?"
The steward faltered.
Jiang Chaoge said softly, "It's fate that we met. I don't want too many people to know about such an important matter. Do you really want to give such a good opportunity to your boss?"
The steward's eyes wandered.
Jiang Chaoge suddenly took out a purse from his arms and threw it to the steward, "I only brought some change with me when I went out today, I guess there are forty or fifty silver coins, all of which are given to the steward, so let's be friends, I just hope the steward forgets it. What happened today. I won't embarrass you, I'll find the boss another day." After saying that, he hugged Zhi Xuan, got up and was about to leave.
The steward stood up abruptly, "Sir, please stay, and let's discuss it." He had never seen such a generous person, giving people forty or fifty silver coins casually. How could this be so extravagant!
Jiang Chaoge shook his head, "Since you can't be the master, what should I discuss with you?"
"I..." The steward gritted his teeth, "If your lord can trust me, I will give you a gold coin first. If your lord still has a treasure, show it to me. I promise to give you a good price."
Jiang Chaoge smiled inwardly, but on the surface he frowned, "A gold coin..."
The steward whispered: "To tell you the truth, I can call the shots, that is, this gold coin, no matter how much it is, it really won't work."
Jiang Chaoge sighed: "I don't want too many people to know about this, otherwise... Forget it, just one, you must not reveal the slightest bit of what happened today."
"Don't worry, don't worry."
The steward went to get it as a deed.
As soon as he left, Sun An wiped off the sweat from his neck and was so frightened that his tongue could not help. "Big brother, a gold coin, a gold coin! If you can't pay it back, we will all be arrested."
Jiang Chaoge calmly said: "What are you worried about, I will definitely pay for it." If he can't pay, he will run away. He doesn't believe that the officers and soldiers of Hu'an City are chasing and killing them. They can be more terrifying than the third prince with a heaven-level soul weapon. He is a debtor. Do not worry.
Sun An shook his head vigorously. After seeing Jiang Chaoge's audacity, he actually regretted partnering with him, but now he is already in trouble.
Jiang Chaoge straightened the tiger hat for Zhi Xuan, and said with a smile, "I think you look good in a hat, and there are rabbits and cats. Would you like to buy them?"
"Whatever you want." Zhi Xuan touched the hat, "It seems useless to wear this kind of hat, and the weather is not cold...why don't you wear it?"
Jiang Chaoge didn't dare to say that it was for children, and it was estimated that the little ancestor would be furious, "I don't like that store, so you can wear it."
After a while, the steward came back and took several deeds for Jiang Chaoge to sign.
After signing, the steward carefully sent the ring into the secret treasure house in the basement, and then he respectfully sent Jiang Chaoge out.
Their pact was to be redeemed in forty days, and the interest was not low, but in Jiang Chaoge's plan, these were just small money.
In this world, one hundred copper coins equals one silver coin, and one thousand silver coins equals one gold coin. This is quite unreasonable to convert in his world. Maybe gold is very rare in this world. In short, when Jiang Chaoge got that one pound When the heavy big gold bricks were used, the heavy hand made him excited. With this, he finally has the money to start his own plan!
He said to Sun An: "Sun An, find a few people you can trust, and from tomorrow, go to the village to lobby and ask them to buy all the ready-made and drying Mingling Grass at the price of a bundle of ten copper coins. Buy it from us, remember, don't make it loud, the more low-key the better."
"yes, Sir."
"If you have any difficulties, come to me right away."
"Brother, what if... someone doesn't sell it?"
"What do you think would be the reason if someone didn't sell it?"
"Well, do you think you have less money?"
"Yes, if you think he is too short of money, add a bundle of twenty copper coins at most."
"What if you still don't sell it?"
Jiang Chaoge smiled, "Then leave him alone, and after you have ordered most of the ghost grasses in the village, tell others that those who refuse to sell are not because they do not sell, but we No, because they cut corners and sold it for forty-nine days before it was left to dry, we absolutely don’t want this kind of black-hearted thing.”
Sun An was startled, "Big, big brother, this..."
Jiang Chaoge smiled and said, "What's wrong?"
Sun An whispered, "It's not good."
Jiang Chaoge put his arms around his neck, "Sun An, do you want to keep a stall selling pearl flowers for the rest of your life? The wind is blowing, the sun is blowing, the cold is coming and the summer is coming, and no one is interested. You earn dozens of copper coins a month, and you can't marry someone you like. The girl, can't give the family a stable life, do you think?"
Sun An was startled and shook his head.
"That's it." Jiang Chaoge patted Sun An on the back, "Don't worry, no one wants to admit that they cut corners on their things. Those stubborn ones will come to you in the end."
Sun An gritted his teeth, "Yes."
After playing Sun An away, Zhi Xuan held his cheeks and stared at Jiang Chaoge intently.
Jiang Chaoge glanced at him, "What's the matter? Do you want to drink? I have a big gold brick now."
"You said you were going to pack me a wine cellar."
"Well, we agreed."
"I know why your soul power is so weak. You should spend all your mind on cheating."
Jiang Chaoge laughed, "Why do you say that? This is doing business. Besides, I make money to buy soul medicine. With the soul medicine, I can improve my cultivation."
Zhi Xuan pouted, "Humans are indeed greedy."
Jiang Chaoge sighed, "If I'm too selfless, I really can't serve you."
"What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, I don't even have the soul power to summon the real body of Lord Zhi Xuan. If you still don't have enough to eat and drink, that's a heinous crime, so I can only make up for you with wine and make you happy."
The corners of Zhi Xuan's mouth twitched, as if he wanted to laugh, but he didn't want to actually laugh, so he just snorted, "You are a little smarter than other humans."
Jiang Chaoge smiled and thought to himself that his ability to coax children was simply self-taught. Looking at the bear child who was gradually stabilized by him, he felt that he had taken a small step closer to the goal of returning home.
