Chapter 444: Earthy Wealth
After the two left the bank, Su Nuan whispered, "Is it like this all over your country? Don't you have gold ingots? Aren't you afraid of it getting hurt when you put it in your pocket?"
Xiao Lingtian smiled and said, "The purity of the silver here varies, so there will be differences in size. As long as it's real silver, even if the purity is not good, it can be exchanged normally if the size and weight make up for it."
"The one we replaced has the highest purity, so we used the smallest mold to measure it."
Su Nuan nodded, "I see, the people here are quite smart."
Xiao Lingtian smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
Su Nuan didn't know why he thanked her, and her attention was quickly drawn to the shop opposite.
"What's that for sale? Why is there a big water tank at the door?"
Xiao Lingtian took a look and replied, "That's the silver shop. They put water tanks there to prevent water from leaking. There's one every few steps."
Su Nuan suddenly realized, "Good idea."
The two continued walking forward, their goal being the largest shop to buy the most expensive things.
The Space Spirit said, "Oh my, why do I feel that Yuan Country has the worst resources?"
Su Nuan laughed secretly: "Actually, Yuan Country is not the worst. It can only be said that every country has its own strengths, and no country can bring together all the strengths."
The space spirit nodded, "Yeah, that's right. No wonder some people say there are no enemies in life. They are all teachers who teach you the wickedness of human nature and the pain that pierces your heart."
Su Nuan thought about it carefully and said in agreement, "That's not wrong. It just feels like I'm stupid. I paid the tuition with my life in my previous life. What a loss."
The Space Spirit shook his head. "It's not a loss at all. You have gained a carefree life in return."
Su Nuan felt that this was true. She was still a young student and had not learned many things.
Xiao Lingtian said, "We're here. This is the largest jewelry store. Let's go in and take a look."
Su Nuan nodded, "Well, it's best not to buy anything, just buy the most expensive one."
Xiao Lingtian chuckled and looked back at Feixue, "Shouldn't they fly a little?"
Su Nuan asked Feixue, "Go hunting, I'll summon you at night."
Feixue rubbed her head against Su Nuan and called out a few times.
Su Nuan said helplessly: "Okay, okay, three roast chickens."
Feixue then happily called Xiaolei to leave together.
The actions of the two people have attracted many people to watch. They dare not speak loudly and can only communicate in a low voice.
Su Nuan didn't listen to what those people said. She followed Xiao Lingtian up the stairs and into the largest jewelry store.
As soon as he entered the door, two young women came over, and their eyes flew to Xiao Lingtian's face.
Su Nuan snorted coldly, "Don't look, Brother Tian is mine."
The two women blushed and lowered their heads quickly.
The girl in the yellow skirt said, "Are you buying jewelry? We have a catalog."
Xiao Lingtian said arrogantly: "Nuannuan, take a look and see if there is anything you like. If so, buy them all."
Su Nuan nodded immediately, "Okay, I want to see the most expensive jewelry in your shop."
The two girls looked at each other. They looked at what the two were wearing, and their pupils shrank when their eyes fell on the pearls on Su Nuan.
Then they immediately smiled and said, "Please come upstairs and sit for a while."
Su Nuan came here to cause trouble, so she naturally couldn't hide.
She saw a table and chairs nearby, so she pulled Xiaotian over and said, "We'll sit here. Hurry and bring them over. Don't dawdle."
The girl in the yellow skirt glanced at the girl in the green skirt, and the girl in the green skirt immediately turned and left.
At this time, a waiter brought fragrant tea and snacks.
The girl in the yellow skirt said, "Please wait a moment, my two distinguished guests."
Su Nuan took a sip of tea. The weather here was very hot, and the tea they served was iced and sweet.
Xiao Lingtian said: "There may not be one that you like."
Su Nuan looked at the women who were choosing jewelry in the room. Their wearing styles were quite interesting.
A large gold bracelet inlaid with colorful gemstones.
A large gold necklace with various gemstones hanging on it.
Overall, it's ostentatious, with a touch of earthy richness.
She asked curiously, "Why are there no pearls?"
Xiao Lingtian smiled and said, "Pearls are rare here. The pearls on you can buy half a city."
Su Nuan was stunned and couldn't recover for a long time. She was actually wearing half a city.
"But this place is not far from the sea, how could there be no pearls?"
Except for the earrings, the rest of the pieces on my body are freshwater pearls, and the luster is different.
Xiao Lingtian explained: "The West Sea Country produces pearls, but not many gems. This country produces gems but not pearls."
"Actually, Yuan Country is not bad. It has gems and pearls, especially freshwater pearls."
Su Nuan nodded, "Hmm...it seems so."
The space spirit said, "The change of dynasties is a good thing. Each change represents the progress of civilization. Perhaps the next monarch will be able to lead the people to a better life."
Su Nuan felt that it was not easy. The new knowledge said that if we want to make a big leap in technology, we must eliminate slavery, which has been impossible for nearly a thousand years.
The space spirit said again: "I feel the energy, just take a walk for a while, don't worry about me."
Su Nuan secretly warned, "Don't run too far. Go back immediately if there is any danger."
The Space Spirit smiled and said, "I understand."
Su Nuan didn't restrict the space spirit too much. It could move freely but couldn't go far, so it could play whenever it wanted.
Seeing Su Nuan was silent, Xiao Lingtian asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Su Nuan lowered her voice and asked, "How much can our cold jade be sold for?"
Xiao Lingtian smiled and said, "It's a lot of money, but we can't sell it here. Let's wait until tomorrow. Someone will send us an invitation tomorrow."
Su Nuan asked in confusion: "Invitation? A banquet?"
Xiao Lingtian shook his head, "An invitation from the auction house."
Su Nuan's eyes lit up. "How much money does it cost to participate? Do we have to pay gold and silver to participate?"
Xiao Lingtian shook his head. "Of course not. I'll take a look at how to deal with the cold jade during my rest time tonight. It will be easier to sell after carving."
"The largest pieces don't move. Sometimes the uncarved ones are more valuable."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, use it as you see fit."
Xiao Lingtian looked at Su Nuan, and the gentle light in his eyes disappeared.
He deliberately said, "Those cold jades can be exchanged for three cities. Don't you feel bad?"
Su Nuan asked in confusion, "Why do you feel bad? As long as they can help you, then they are valuable. If they can't help, then they are just a tool to cool down."
Xiao Lingtian was so moved that he didn't know what to say. Su Nuan was like a ball of sunshine, warming him, but he didn't know how to repay her.
While they were silent, two women started arguing.
The fat woman angrily said, "Bai Yanyan, do you think I'm easy to bully? You knew I was afraid of the heat, yet you still snatched the white jade pillow away from me."
Bai Yanyan wore a white long dress and smiled seductively, "Wang Panpan, this is for the highest bidder. I can afford it, but if you can afford it, you can raise the price."
Wang Panpan was so angry that she reached out to push, and as a result, Bai Yanyan bumped into the girl in the green skirt who was holding a tray. The tray in her hand flew up and was about to fall to the ground.
The girl exclaimed, "Catch it quickly! That's three hundred thousand taels of silver!"
