Chapter 692 Bargaining with the Steward
Hei Wuchang was hesitating, considering whether to increase the price.
Bai Wuchang asked impatiently: "How much do you plan to sell it for?"
Bai Tong thought for a moment and replied, "At least five thousand."
Hei Wuchang remained silent, considering the possibility of raising the price.
Su Nuan curled her lips and took out a large piece of cold jade from her bag. "If you hadn't mentioned cold jade, I would have forgotten about it. This can be sold, right?"
As soon as Han Yu appeared, the temperature in the room dropped instantly, giving people goose bumps.
A look of astonishment flashed in Hei Wuchang's eyes. He held the cold jade stone in his hands, fumbled with it, and said, "It's very beautiful, full of cold energy. It's big enough to make five bracelets and dozens of jade plaques."
After saying that, he raised his eyes and looked at Su Nuan, "This..."
Su Nuan smiled and said, "Five thousand."
This price just blocked Bai Tong's way.
Hei Wuchang directly picked up Bai Tong's bracelet and returned it, "Take it away, we don't want this thing from you. If you want to sell it, look somewhere else."
Bai Tong angrily took the bracelet back and said stubbornly, "You don't know the value of it. I can easily sell it for 10,000 or 20,000 silver."
Su Nuan glanced at Bai Tong. She didn't even know that the ghost town used gold as the conversion?
Hei Wuchang ignored Bai Tong. He looked at Su Nuan and said sincerely, "This is the best cold jade I've ever seen. Five thousand is a bit too low."
Su Nuan smiled indifferently, "It's just the reserve price. I think they will give a suitable price."
"Isn't there a stone that can keep you warm in winter and cool in summer? That's more valuable than this cold jade, right?"
Hei Wuchang shook his head. "It's just a piece of stone. It has no value unless it's ornamental."
Su Nuan thought that was right. Rich people used ice in the summer and had warm rooms in the winter, so they really didn’t need that stone.
But I just like weird things like this, and it’s nice to collect them.
She asked, "How much would it cost to take the photo? How about you help me take the photo? I have nothing in my pocket right now, and I rely on this little money to make money to take the photo."
Hei Wuchang was startled for a moment, then smiled and said, "You like it? I'll just give it to you."
Su Nuan was dumbfounded. How could this be given away for free?
Why bother with all this work? It feels like studying for ten years, only to be told on exam day that you don't need to take the exam anymore and can just become an official.
Hei Wuchang laughed and said, "It was originally a gift for the Ghost King. He didn't like it, so he put it up for auction. No one bought it at the first auction."
Su Nuan chuckled: "Then I'll take it. I like this kind of weird things."
Hei Wuchang nodded and said, "You can take a look to see if there are any items you like. We will ship them out to you when the time comes."
Su Nuan nodded, "Okay, that's it..."
She was a little afraid that she would spend too much money and it would be embarrassing if she couldn't pay it back.
Hei Wuchang knew what she was worried about and said with a smile, "Don't worry about the money. If the premium is too high, we will remind you."
Su Nuan nodded in relief, "Okay, I'll go take a look."
After saying that, she walked past Bai Tong and went out.
Bai Tong didn't know what she was thinking. She stomped her feet and followed closely.
Ling Yun frowned, but said nothing.
Su Nuan went out and came to the auction house. There were many things placed on the shelves along the wall, each of which was exquisite and extraordinary.
She also saw the stone that could keep warm in winter and cool in summer. It was really just a stone, gray and shaped like a steamed bun. It was placed on the shelf and no one looked at it.
Su Nuan walked over and touched it. The temperature in the ghost town was constant, neither cold nor hot, so the temperature of the stone was slightly cooler than the air temperature.
The Space Spirit said, "Wow... this is a good thing."
Su Nuan asked secretly: "What is this?"
The space spirit laughed and said, "There is a thermostat inside the stone, but it has been wrapped up by the stone over time."
"As long as the outer shell is broken or thinned, the contents inside can drive the constant temperature of a 100-square-meter house."
"Well...if the temperature control inside is still intact, I can still adjust the constant temperature."
Su Nuan was delighted. With this thing, wouldn't it be possible to build a constant temperature greenhouse?
She thought to herself, "Perhaps the Ghost King of this period didn't understand advanced technology, so he didn't notice the clues of this stone."
The space spirit was silent for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, "Hai Lan said this stone wouldn't be very useful in the ghost town, so she put it up for sale, but those people didn't know what it was."
Su Nuan was startled and asked, "How did he know?"
Then Su Nuan thought about the many identity cards Hai Lan gave her, so Hai Lan must have been to the ghost town.
When she thought about it this way, she felt that there was nothing strange about it.
After looking at the stone, Su Nuan went to the shelf next to it to check.
There was a beautiful lotus bowl on the shelf, and she reached down, took it down, and turned it over to the bottom to examine the seal.
The red font made her shake her head and put it back.
The space spirit asked, "What's wrong? Doesn't it look good? It's only priced at 10,000."
Su Nuan smiled secretly, "This is fake."
The space spirit doesn't understand these things, and will no longer pay attention to them when it hears they are fake.
Su Nuan smiled and said, "The folk kilns use blue seals, and the official kilns use red seals."
"But items from the official kiln must be tributed to the palace for use, so they would be inscribed with 'Imperial Production'. This red one just has 'Made in' written on it, so it's fake."
The space spirit still didn't quite understand. She wasn't very interested in learning, so she nodded and said, "I understand."
Su Nuan's eyes moved around again. The fancy decorations could not attract her. In the end, it was the wooden box that attracted Su Nuan.
She walked over and knocked on the wooden box. The sound was dull and she couldn't see the lock, but she could tell it was a flip-top box.
The waiter standing nearby, also dressed as a goblin, said, "This box must have a mechanism, but it's a pity that the craftsmen can't open it."
"If the girl wants it, she can slap it back and break it open violently. As for what's inside, we don't know."
"But since it can be stored in such an exquisite box, the items inside must be extraordinary."
Su Nuan looked at the waiter deeply. He was very good at talking. His words made people feel determined to win.
The waiter felt embarrassed by Su Nuan's gaze, and he quickly changed the subject, "Our manager said that if anyone can open the box intact, it will be given away for free."
Su Nuan's eyes lit up and she asked, "Are you going to give away everything in the box as well? Or just the box?"
The waiter didn't expect Su Nuan to be so smart, so he kept his mouth shut and didn't dare to say anything.
An old man walked over with a chuckle and said, "Girl, if you can open the box intact, I'll give you the box and everything inside."
Su Nuan looked at the old man. He had kind eyes, was slightly plump, and had snow-white hair and beard.
She laughed and said, "Is the old man the manager here? What if your words don't count?"
"Also, what if this box contains some rare treasures and you regret it?"
The old man didn't expect Su Nuan to say that. He smiled and said, "I'm the manager here, and my words are my bond. If you're afraid of everything, how can I not be afraid?"
