'My second aunt's cousin' was indeed on time.
Xiang Mianmian went home to rest for a while. In the afternoon, two young men came. Both of them carried a basket with a few wild onions emerging from under the lid of the basket.
"My cousin, you've grown taller again. I came to see my second uncle and brought you some delicious food. Look at how juicy these wild onions are. I also picked some sweet cattail grass..."
My second aunt's cousin has a loud voice. As soon as he entered the door, he started shouting, and people next door could hear him.
Xiang Mianmian smiled at the curious aunts outside the house and closed the door.
The excuse he used was visiting relatives, but I didn't expect that he could pretend to be so real.
The two young men opened the lid and took away a few wild onions on the surface. Underneath was a rectangular object wrapped tightly in brown paper.
The boy selling pearls was my second aunt's cousin. With a little effort, he brought out a dressing box.
The wooden box was made very delicately, with smooth and flat edges without any scratches. The brass handle was shiny and smelled of varnish.
"Dressing box? Where did you get it?"
Xiang Mianmian was so scared that she leaned to the side, fearing that it was some valuable item from her ancestors.
Although wood used as burial objects rarely survives intact until it is dug out by tomb robbers, what if there is some sunken wood that has not decayed for thousands of years?
This is what is written in fantasy novels. She doesn't know whether it is true or not, so it is better to be cautious.
The pearl seller said vaguely, "Don't worry about it. Don't worry, this wooden box was just made by a carpenter, and the paint has only been dry for a few days. What are you afraid of?"
I hope it’s not a dead person.
Xiang Mianmian patted his chest and curiously opened the drawers of the dressing table one by one: "There's no jewelry here, so you're just selling this wooden box?"
"Why not? I'm afraid there might be some noise on the road. The jewelry is here."
The boy selling pearls opened another basket and took out a dozen cloth bags.
After carefully opening the cloth bags one by one, Xiang Mianmian's heart started pounding.
Jade!
The owners of these jewelry must be jade lovers. Even the gold hairpins are inlaid with dark green jade leaves, making them look like golden branches and jade leaves.
There are also jade bracelets, rings, and bead necklaces. Judging from the color and water quality, they are obviously taken out from a piece of rough material. It turns out to be a set of jade headpieces.
No one doesn't love these rich and vibrant colors.
Xiang Mianmian suppressed her amazement calmly and casually flicked the wings of a golden butterfly on her temples. The butterfly actually trembled as if it was flying.
After a closer look, I found that it was actually gold wire stretched into a spring shape, but doesn't gold deform?
She pretended not to care and pulled out the drawer of her dressing table. Sure enough, there was no sign of use inside. "Your jewelry is beautiful. Is the dressing table newly made to match these jewelry?"
I didn't expect it to be so thoughtful.
Another young man, presumably the owner of these things, heard her question and immediately replied, "It's a gift of a dowry. These jewellery are the real goods. I'm just worried that it will be difficult for you to pack them."
Xiang Mianmian opened several drawers of the dressing table and put the jewelry in one by one. Sure enough, they were the sizes made according to the jewelry and fit perfectly.
"Okay, thanks, that's very thoughtful of you. How much are these?"
The young man rolled his eyes and said, "300 will be fine."
Xiang Mianmian was just about to open the mirror on top of her dressing table to look at herself and admire herself, but when she heard this, she paused and said unhappily, "It's too expensive. Jadeite isn't that valuable. If it were Hetian jade, it would be about the same."
Yes, China appreciates Hetian jade at this time, and the icy imperial green jadeite cannot compare to the better quality Hetian jade.
The young man's face was bitter, and he quickly explained the reason: "It's not that I don't want to lower the price, but the old woman wants this price to see her old man, and the doctor said this."
It is a basic skill for these people to say one thing to one person and another thing to another. Xiang Mianmian doesn't quite believe it?
She slowly opened the mirror, which was adjustable. The workmanship was truly eye-catching. The mirror was square, and her small round face showed clearly.
I'm madly attracted to Mianmian.
After all, it’s only 300 yuan for a complete set of ice-type imperial green jewelry, so it’s not a loss.
She pondered it for a long time without saying whether she was satisfied or not, which made the young man feel very anxious.
The young man even thought that he could give a lower price on the ticket he drew, and sell it at the lowest price of 270 yuan.
She looked at him and said slowly, "I'll make you an offer. 270 yuan. I want the whole set."
It is impossible not to bargain. These people make a lot of money from reselling, and we cannot be cheated.
The young man was stunned for a moment, pretending to think deeply, and then said proudly: "Hmm... OK, just treat it as making friends with this little sister!"
Ha, it took my dad several days to make a broken box, and I can earn 20 yuan this time, not bad.
He was delighted. Even though 20 yuan was a small amount, he would make more than one order a month. Sometimes, if he got a big order, it would be enough to support him for three years!
But he knew he couldn't show it, so he pretended to be heartbroken at the loss on his face.
Xiang Mianmian pretended to go into the house to get money: "You two sit for a while, I'll go get the money."
She entered the room, closed the door, took out the money from the storage compartment, and counted out 270 yuan.
By the way, she took a look at the remaining balance, which was the money she had made from various bargains she had found over the past three years, including 9,000 yuan from selling her computer at a low price.
It was sold to the county government through System Xiao 6 before 1965. They naturally checked it out, but unfortunately Xiang Mianmian successfully hid his tracks with the help of System Xiao 6.
To this end, she used a mission reward to exchange for System Xiao 6's hard work.
Anyway, the computer is of no use to her, so she might as well sell it to the country as a contribution. She believes that with this most advanced computer, she will no longer have to use an abacus to calculate data.
