Chapter 24: Fisherman Buys a Boat

After opening the door, the servant said goodbye to the man. Then, another servant brought a pot of tea for the three of them and placed it on the round table in the room.

"Let's go, little girl!"

The man held out his hand in an inviting gesture.

Su Qian nodded slightly and walked into the room first.

The room is not big, with only a round table, four round stools, and a large window.

The man wearing the silver mask casually found a round stool and sat down. He took out three cups from the tea tray with his slender fingers and poured tea into them.

"Girl, sit down!"

Su Qian then sat opposite him near the door and did not touch the tea on the table. "Sir, can you take off the mask on your face? I don't like to trade with people whose faces I can't see."

Mr. Han paused with his cup in his hand, and then said teasingly, "Miss, are you sure you want me to take off the mask? In my family, if you take off your mask, you have to marry me, okay?"

Su Qian: “…”

"Forget it, let's talk about our business. I want to pawn a few pearls. Can you accept them?"

Su Qian asked the other party directly.

"Pearls? They are indeed rare, but it depends on the quality and size..."

Before he finished speaking, a few grape-sized pearls appeared on her fair and delicate hand. They were round and shiny, and under the light they showed colorful colors, which was truly charming.

"Well, this pearl is good and very rare. If you take it to the capital, I'm afraid it will be fought over by those dignitaries! How do you plan to sell it, young lady?"

Mr. Han glanced at the pearl in Su Qian's hand, his voice still calm and without too much excitement.

"How about one hundred taels of silver?"

Su Qian curled her lips, took back the pearl in her hand, and asked the other party softly.

The market price of this pearl is one hundred taels of silver, and I did not raise the price.

"One hundred taels? Sure! I'll take whatever you have, young lady!"

Mr. Han pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"The few I have are all here!"

Su Qian just casually grabbed six pearls in her hand. She didn't plan to take out more!

"Okay, six in total, six hundred taels. Do you want cash or banknotes?"

Mr. Han had just seen the number of pearls in Su Qian's hand and asked the other party straightforwardly.

"Silver bills! They're easier to carry!"

"Then please check it out, young lady!"

Mr. Han casually took out a stack of silver from his lapel, counted out six hundred-liang silver notes and handed them to Su Qian.

Su Qian took the banknote and checked it to see that it was indeed a banknote used throughout the country of Dongli. Then he handed the pearl in his hand to Mr. Han.

Afterwards, he put the banknote in his arms (actually in the space of the jade pendant) and waited for the temporary household registration certificate.

Mr. Han was drinking tea leisurely and asked softly, "Look at the girl's clothes. Which island are you from? You got so much money and came to register for temporary household registration. Are you planning to buy a fishing boat?"

Su Qian's eyes narrowed and he looked at the other person with slightly narrowed eyes.

Mr. Han quickly raised the cup to block Su Qian's murderous eyes, and smiled softly, "Don't worry, young lady, I just want to help you!"

"Can you help me? Do you have a fishing boat to sell?"

Su Qian raised her eyebrows and asked softly.

"Yes, my family is in business, and I like to travel the ocean. I also own a shipyard. If you want one, I will sell you one!"

Mr. Han said with a faint smile.

What a coincidence?

Su Qian squinted her eyes and looked at him. The deep look in his eyes was as dazzling as stars.

This guy is lying. If he owns a shipyard at home, why would he need to apply for temporary household registration?

"Forget it! I'll just buy it at this fish shop!"

Su Qian shook her head.

It's all too coincidental!

She believes that not so many coincidences can be connected together!

The man in front of me must have approached me on purpose!

Seeing Su Qian's refusal, Master Han sighed helplessly in his heart. This little girl is too defensive!

Forget it, there is still a long way to go!

"Well, how about I accompany you to the fishing company? I have a shipyard at home and I know the structure of fishing boats very well. I can help you choose a light and easy fishing boat."

Su Qian looked at him indifferently. This guy was so enthusiastic, he must have some ulterior motive.

I don't know what I have now that he could be greedy for!

Is there space for jade pendants?

This thing had been hanging around the original owner's neck for fifteen years, and no one cared about it.

Apart from her and Gu Luyun, no one else knew the secret.

"Girl, I am accompanying you, partly to reassure you. Aren't you worried that I gave you a fake banknote?"

Mr. Han sighed lightly and changed the way he communicated with Su Qian.

Su Qian heard this and looked fierce, "If you dare to give me a fake banknote, I will make sure you never see the sun tomorrow!"

Her voice was still calm, as if she was talking casually to a friend.

However, the aura around her suddenly became stronger, and a force of pressure was directed directly at Mr. Han.

Mr. Han raised his hand and said, "That's what I said. Don't worry, the banknote is real! I just want to go to the fishing shop with the girl!"

"No need, we can buy the fishing boat ourselves! Our deal is over, and we'll go our separate ways from now on. Let's just pretend we don't know each other anymore!"

After saying that, Su Qian stood up and walked out of the room.

Coincidentally, her temporary household registration had been completed, and the boy was preparing to bring it in.

Su Qian took it and looked at the registered name on it: Zhao Sisi.

It looks like a fake, so just use it first!

Afterwards, she took her household registration certificate and left the yard with Su's second uncle.

Mr. Han, who was sitting in the yard, was still casually looking at the teacup in his hand, "This temper, this character, is it really her?"

Su Qian didn't know what the masked man was thinking at the moment, but took Su's second uncle directly to the fishing shop.

The fishing shop was not as lively as Su Qian had imagined, but rather deserted.

A servant came up to them and asked, "Are you two here to buy or sell?"

The boy had a normal smile on his face, and there was no sign of bullying or contempt in his eyes. It was obvious that he had been trained.

"I want to buy a fishing boat."

Su Qian directly stated the purpose of his visit.

"Are you two planning to buy new ones or used ones?"

The boy continued to ask.

Su Qian raised her eyebrows. Can you buy second-hand things in ancient times?

"How do you sell the new ones? How do you sell the old ones?"

Su Qian glanced around, casually found a square chair to sit down, and asked softly.

"This new one is just out of the shipyard and has never been launched. The price is 120 taels. The old one is used by others and has been launched. It is 50 taels. Which one do you want, young lady?"

The servant saw that Su Qian was the real buyer and asked immediately.
