It was rare that someone asked the price, and the boss immediately said enthusiastically: "If you like it, young master, I will sell it to you for one hundred taels, and I will sell it to you. This is a loss-making price! If it weren't for the blackening on the peacock, this jade ornament would definitely be Sold for more than three thousand taels!"
When this peacock ornament is placed in the store, every customer is amazed at first sight. Then when they see the black color on the peacock’s back, they don’t even ask about the price.
If this piece of jade had been made into a jade pendant back then, it would not have been such a loss.
"I think this scapegoat peacock is very cute! It's not just a decoration, I want to buy it back to play with! Shopkeeper, can it be cheaper? Fifty taels for it! I'll buy it for fifty taels! Just treat it like buying a toy."
Yuan Li: "Young Master, don't buy it even for fifty taels. Since this piece of jade can be carved with black on the back of a peacock, maybe there is black in other parts of the jade. Doesn't that mean you are taking the blame and having a bad heart? The implication is not good! The old lady will If you scold you, I will take you to buy a better-looking peacock."
The light in Nalan Jinnian's eyes looked like crushed stars in a night.
He didn't speak, just stood beside her, acting as a protector, and let her bargain, while Yuan Li stood aside and pulled the cat's tail.
The boss naturally knew that what Yuan Li said was reasonable.
There was indeed such a risk, so he didn't directly re-polish the ornament, otherwise he could still earn some money even if he could only make a few jade pendants!
"Fifty taels is too low! These other things are considered good jade! Young master, how about we each take a step back? I really lost money! Eighty taels! I really lost a lot of money at fifty taels!"
Yuan Li: "Boss, you are not kind. What does your loss have to do with us? If we buy it, you will make a profit! We will lose money! This can't be sold at all! Ordinary people are reluctant to buy it, and rich people won't buy it! The young master doesn't want it. Buy it, we will lose eighty taels if we buy it!"
Nuan Nuan thought about it and nodded: "That's right, then don't buy it!"
After that, he walked out.
The boss was anxious:
"Forget it, forget it, seventy taels! No more. What a loss!"
This ornament has been in the shop for five years and no one has bought it. It can earn dozens of taels, count as dozens of taels.
Wen Nuan pointed to a few pieces of low-quality jade at his feet: "Boss, sixty taels, by the way, give me the pile of low-quality jade at the door, and I will buy it! Boss, you have to think clearly, this ornament cannot be sold here, and you can't sell it for six consecutive You can’t make even ten taels!”
Boss: "... How many pieces of jade do you want from me for sixty taels? Young man, you are so good at calculating!"
Nuan Nuan: "Is that jade? I'm helping you clean up the trash, boss, right?"
Yuan Li: "Why do you have the nerve to talk about jade when the boss has a bunch of inferior products?"
The old boss blushed and waved his hand: "Forget it, sixty taels is sixty taels!"
~~
In the end, Nuan Nuan spent sixty taels on a jade ornament and three pieces of low-quality jade, and happily went to the next shop.
Yuan Li left the address and asked the boss to deliver the goods.
Next, Nuan Nuan picked out the cheapest ornaments from each house, all of which were defective, and then asked her boss to give her a bunch of low-quality jade.
In the end, Yuan Li finally realized that Nuan Nuan came here just to buy the worst one!
The purpose was to get her boss to give her a bunch of low-quality jade stones.
Miss Wen's vision is indeed different, and her behavior is something that a normal person like him cannot understand!
Very weird!
Finally, the three of them came to a larger rough stone trading venue.
The venue is large and divided into several areas.
The ground is covered with rough stones one by one. There are many people picking rough stones everywhere, and the scene is quite lively.
Nuan Nuan saw a familiar face from a distance.
There was also a sign erected in the area where the man was guarding: Rough Stone Produced by the Imperial Green Jade Mine.
Nuan Nuan glanced at Nalan Jinnian, the purpose of this trip must be here!
Nalan Jinnian lowered his head and glanced at her: "What's wrong?"
Nuan Nuan shook his head and walked straight over.
Nalan Jinnian raised the corner of his mouth slightly and followed.
Wen Jiafu was sitting in a shed with a sad look on his face.
During these days, the jade mined from the jade mines and cut out of raw stones were of inferior quality, and the county magistrate did not dare to cut any more.
So I rented a space here to sell rough stones.
In the first two days, he could still sell a few rough stones every day, making more than two thousand taels, which made him excited!
But in the past two days, no one has cared about it!
Because none of the people who bought rough stones found a good piece of jade, word spread and everyone stopped coming.
The three of them walked to Wen Jiafu.
"Why doesn't anyone come to pick out the rough stones here?" Wen Nuan asked in surprise.
Wen Jiafu looked at the three of them, his eyes were very strange, he had not seen them in the past few days.
He could tell at a glance that Nuan Nuan was a young master, and the material of his clothes was particularly good!
The other two people should be servants, specially designed to protect him.
From out of town
Wen Jiafu immediately became energetic and stood up enthusiastically: "Guests, welcome! Do you want to buy rough jade? The rough stones here are expensive and good! Because they are expensive, most people are reluctant to buy them, so there are few people. Come.
But at first glance, the young master is not short of money. Young master, you can choose whatever you want. If you choose, I will give you a preferential price! "
Not short of money
Young Master, I am not short of money.
After listening to his words, Nuan Nuan raised her head arrogantly, put her hands behind her back, and walked around the area pretending to be a great man.
Seeing her like this, Wen Jiafu felt a little excited in his heart. It's best to lie to children!
Nuan Nuan took a look at the dozens of rough stones placed on the ground and knew what he knew. Then he pointed at the largest piece and said, "I want this piece. It's good at first glance. How much silver?"
Seeing the warmth, Wen Jiafu opened his mouth and asked for the biggest one. He thought to himself, it is indeed the nature of a child, how can he understand jade!
Just pick the biggest one and think it is the best.
He was excited in his heart, but did not show it on his face. He smiled and said: "Young Master is really discerning. This jade is our treasure! My family's jade mine was originally discovered because of a piece of imperial green jade! This piece The rough stone is very similar to the original jadeite stone that was found to be imperial green! If you want it, I will sell it to you for three thousand taels!"
"Three thousand taels? Not expensive!" Wen Nuan pretended to take out the banknotes, and Yuan Li grabbed her: "Young master, no!"
"Boss, the rough stones you have here are notorious for being 100% low-quality jade. Not one of the ten pieces is good jade, and they say it is imperial green! Go ahead and lie to ghosts! Don't try to lie to my young master! I see this It’s just a stone, not even a low-quality jade! It’s not worth three taels of silver, but three thousand taels! Young Master, let’s go pick it up elsewhere.” Yuan Lidao said.
They came here specifically today.
Recently, Yuan Li has been paying attention to the activities at the jade mine. The outer areas of the jade mine have almost been opened, and it is time to take it back.
Wen Nuan was surprised: "Is it really a stone?"
Yuan Li: "Of course, the whole street spread."
Wen Jiafu's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't show it on his face and pretended to be angry:
"Brother, your taste is not as good as your young master! How can you believe those rumors? Everyone is jealous of my family's good rough stones, so they deliberately spread rumors!
Brother said that the treasure of my store is a stone? I can guarantee that every piece of rough stone in my house can produce jade. Every piece of rough stone here has been appraised by experienced masters, and it is 100% sure to produce jade! "
Low-quality jade can be considered jade, and he wasn't lying.
Wen Nuan widened his eyes and looked curious: "Can you guarantee that they are all jade? Then will I make a lot of money if I buy them all?"
