The shopkeeper nodded when he heard this. He really believed it.
He had never seen such a fine glass cup in the entire dynasty, so he believed it when he was told that it was brought from another country.
Moreover, the girl's outfit did look poor, but after a few words of conversation, the girl's expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and she spoke calmly.
His tone was confident and revealed the attitude of a superior. Even if his family had fallen on hard times now, it was probably only in the past two years.
The little girl looked no more than eleven or twelve years old, but she spoke so calmly and confidently. I guess she must have seen the world.
The shopkeeper completely put away his condescending attitude and put on a kind smile on his face.
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said to Yun Nian'an, "How about five thousand taels of silver?"
Yun Nian'an was delighted when he heard this, as the normal wage for working outside was 30 to 50 yuan a day, and 1,000 yuan was only one tael of silver.
If a normal farmer's family has five or six people, they only need to spend two taels of silver a year at most if they live frugally.
The shopkeeper offered five thousand taels of silver, which was enough for their whole family to live for a lifetime.
Yun Lao San, who was standing by, widened his eyes when he heard the shopkeeper say that a glass cup like this could be sold for five thousand taels.
But he immediately retracted his expression. He couldn't let his daughter down.
Looking at my daughter's frowning face, I thought she must be dissatisfied with the price and I was afraid she would bargain again.
Yun Nian'an coughed lightly, looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, the price you gave is not good enough.
If the shopkeeper is not sincere, I will go to another pawnshop to have a look. I believe there is more than one pawnshop like this one in the city.
Although everyone is fleeing famine nowadays, such top-quality treasures can be sold at sky-high prices.
If it is given to those extraordinary people, I believe the benefits gained will be incomparable to the price. ”
After saying this, he looked at the shopkeeper intently.
The shopkeeper's face turned green and red when the little girl looked at him. Five thousand taels of silver was all the money he had in his entire pawnshop, but the little girl was still not satisfied.
Thinking of this, he sighed and said to Yun Nian'an, "Miss Dissatisfied, five thousand taels of silver is all the cash my shop can take out.
At most I can go out and raise another thousand taels. If the girl feels that six thousand taels is still not enough, she can only look elsewhere.
I really want this thing from the girl, but this is a small town and I believe no one can offer a higher price than I do. ”
Yun Nian'an listened to what the shopkeeper said and thought that the price couldn't be any higher.
Finally, he sighed and said, "Forget it, boss, go get the money. We'll pay you in person and I'll give you the treasure."
When the shopkeeper heard this, he nodded quickly, and then called his son who was packing things in the backyard to bring over the one thousand taels of silver.
After waiting for a cup of tea, the shopkeeper came over with a bag and counted out all the silver bills, a total of six thousand taels of silver. He then handed the silver bills to Yun Nian'an.
Yun Nian'an saw that it was a banknote, and he couldn't help but frowned and looked at his father and said, "Dad, banknotes are circulated throughout the dynasty."
Yun Lao San listened to his daughter's words, glanced at the seal and nodded, "My daughter is well-connected throughout the dynasty. Even if we go to the capital, we can go to the bank to exchange silver for silver."
Yun Lao San also went out to make a living, so he knew what a banknote looked like, and he also knew what a banknote in circulation looked like.
Yun Nian'an listened to what his father said and nodded in relief.
He handed the glass cup to the shopkeeper, who touched the glass cup and couldn't let it go.
