Chapter 528 Young Marshal Huo's Little Mute 19
Huo Ze gave a look to his two deputies who were not far away, and they immediately understood, splitting up on the spot and entering the market in different directions.
The first shop mainly deals in agate, classifying it into four grades from low to high quality.
Song Jinhuan prefers oddly shaped, uncarved jade stones, as this allows for more room for imagination and makes the carved trinkets more interesting.
However, for now, the focus is mainly on practice.
When the head of the gang saw the customer arrive, he didn't care whether the business would actually go through or not, and immediately stepped forward enthusiastically, following Song Jinhuan to give him all sorts of introductions.
Huo Ze followed behind with his hands behind his back, listening slowly.
"This is genuine Southern Red Agate, fine, smooth, even, and glutinous. Look at its luster, it's simply superb!" The leader spoke with great enthusiasm, even giving a thumbs up at the end.
In times of chaos, many talented people emerge, and the woman before me must be one of them.
He had already brought out the store's prized possession to show off, yet the other party remained completely silent. They were incredibly composed!
No wonder he's someone who travels with Marshal Huo.
Although he is not old, his calm and composed demeanor is something not everyone possesses.
Song Jinhuan mentally calculated how to buy it at the best price.
Agate is relatively soft, making it suitable for carving.
She was interested in a bunch of scraps; buying them individually didn't seem worthwhile.
How much does low-grade agate cost?
The leader was taken aback, and looking at the notebook, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Huo Ze suddenly spoke up, "Are you thinking about how to die?"
The leader felt a chill run down his spine and immediately shook his head, replying, "Lower-grade agate costs five copper coins per gram, medium-grade agate costs between 10 and 50 copper coins per gram, and upper-grade agate costs one silver coin or more. It's hard to say the approximate price range for top-grade agate."
Song Jinhuan then pointed to the black agate.
The boss then rattled off a string of prices.
After going around in circles, Song Jinhuan had a better understanding of the situation.
[Can I buy a batch of medium-grade agate for twenty silver dollars? Are there any free gifts?]
The boss glanced at Huo Ze behind her first. He couldn't say there wouldn't be any freebies when business was starting.
He asked tentatively, "Is there something you've taken a fancy to?"
At the same time, I kept praying in my heart, please don't ask for an exorbitant amount, please!
Song Jinhuan pointed to a pile of inconspicuous scrap in the corner, "Could you give me some?"
The leader breathed a sigh of relief, instantly feeling much more energetic. "Alright!"
He ran over excitedly, dumped them into a cloth bag, and held it up to Song Jinhuan, saying, "Here, take them all!"
This scrap is worth very little.
Just as Song Jinhuan was about to take it, an arm suddenly reached out from behind and took it first.
The girl turned her head to look behind her.
Huo Ze awkwardly weighed the cloth bag in his hand, and said in a rather impatient tone, "What are you looking at? Hurry up."
Song Jinhuan: Oh, oh~
The leader took ten grams of agate.
Song Jinhuan took out a handful of silver dollars from his small backpack and was about to count them.
Huo Ze, who was standing to the side, tossed another money bag in front of the leader and said coldly, "Count it yourself."
Song Jinhuan turned her head in confusion.
The man lowered his eyes and met her gaze. "Since you're with me, there's no reason for you to pay."
Song Jinhuan decisively stuffed the silver coins back into her small backpack and gave him a sweet smile.
Hehe, since that's the case, she won't hold back!
The man's ears, hidden among his hair, suddenly turned pink.
Favorability: 25.
He realized something was wrong, but didn't know why, so he angrily turned to the leader opposite him, "Why are you counting so slowly? Are you looking for death?"
The leader's hand trembled, and he quickly pushed the money bag over.
I just finished counting.
