As soon as the box was opened, a dazzling golden light flashed.
The first thing you see is a gold shawl inlaid with various pearls, white jade and gemstones.
Even Su Qingci, a wealthy and beautiful woman from a later era, was amazed by the level of luxury.
Beneath the gold-threaded shawl was a string of beads resembling court beads.
Su Qingci estimated that it was made of rubies and pearls.
Other things.
Gold and jade Buddha statues, bracelets, phoenix hairpins, and exquisite pagodas carved from a single piece of white jade.
Jadeite longevity locks with a rich, translucent green hue, jade cicada leaves and thumb rings, and exquisite playthings and objects made of colored porcelain.
Even Su Qingci, who possessed immense wealth, was astonished by this box of glittering gold objects.
The value of this box definitely exceeds that of the box of things Old Wei gave him the first time.
It seems that the Liu family ancestors were indeed remarkable figures.
If Liu Ping had just kept a low profile and not courted disaster, the Liu family could have definitely made a comeback and become incredibly wealthy again in ten or twenty years with the wealth they left behind!
Seeing Su Qingci standing there in a daze, Shen Chuntao couldn't help but ask her a question.
"How is it? Is everything alright?"
Su Qingci closed the box with her other hand and pressed the metal clasp in.
He lowered his voice and said, "The items are fine."
"But as you know, antiques are valued in prosperous times, while gold is valued in chaotic times."
"These things are indeed good, but at this time they can't compare to gold."
"And gold is not as valuable as grain!"
"No matter how valuable external possessions are, they can't compare to something that can save your life!"
Su Qingci, fearing that Shen Chuntao would make an unreasonable demand, preemptively silenced her.
A fierce glint flashed in Shen Chuntao's eyes, knowing that the other party wanted to lower the price.
"These treasures are indeed not as important as food in the eyes of ordinary people."
"But in today's society, there are people who don't lack food."
"I don't have the connections, otherwise I could just send this thing to some big shot."
"The profits gained will be more than tenfold!"
"I don't want much. Aside from this basket of grain, give me two thousand yuan and five hundred jin of grain coupons!"
Shen Chuntao thought to herself that even if the other party cut the price in half, she could still get a thousand yuan and more than two hundred jin of grain coupons.
With the money, getting a job in town would be more than enough.
She's not that stupid; she wouldn't take everything out to exchange for money.
This thing is worthless now, but who can say it won't be worthless in the future?
She only wants to get rid of things that can't be shown in public and are difficult to carry.
two thousand?
Su Qingci remained silent for a moment.
The price for this batch of goods isn't actually that high.
But now it's her home turf, and whoever has the resources is the boss.
"Three hundred, and I'll give you another hundred catties of grain coupons."
"If you want to sell, then sell; if you don't want to sell, then find someone else."
"In this world, with the gentry and landlords falling from power one after another, who wouldn't have some things hidden away?"
"I'll have to put in the effort to find it, but this kind of stuff isn't hard to find!"
"But there aren't many people who dare to spend so much money to buy goods!"
Seeing that the other party remained silent, Su Qingci continued in her rough voice.
"Rice at the current grain station is only a little over one cent per pound. Three hundred yuan can be exchanged for more than two thousand, almost three thousand pounds of rice."
"You've inspected that basket of things; they're all rare items."
"If you go to the black market, even if you spend two hundred yuan, you might not be able to buy it."
Shen Chuntao's heart skipped a beat; she knew the other party had not exaggerated.
She had previously taken some items to the black market to exchange for other things.
Many people who had grain were unwilling to accept it.
All they want are tickets and money.
She instinctively gripped the edge of the basket beside her. Now that she had it, how could she bear to give it back?
Su Qingci didn't urge her, and quietly waited for Shen Chuntao to bargain!
Thinking to myself, she wanted 2000, so I gave her 300.
The other party would probably say they want 1000, so she said 400.
Then the other party says 800, she says 500, and the deal should be done.
If the other party really refuses, then she can only draw two small yellow croakers.
"Okay, I agree, three hundred it is!"
Su Qingci was about to call out four hundred when she heard this and quickly stopped herself.
Holy crap, why did you stop yelling?
This is someone she knows; she feels a little guilty!
It's a fool not to take advantage of a good deal; even an acquaintance can only make her feel guilty for a second.
Su Qingci quickly started taking out money and cash.
"Girl, you have guts!"
"Just based on your generous spirit, you'll never amount to anything!"
"Keep the money safe, and I'll leave the basket with you too."
Su Qingci stuffed the money into the other person's hand, bent down, carried the box, and ran away as fast as she could.
Shen Chuntao quickly checked the money and notes she had just received, afraid of being scammed.
The speed at which they counted the money was far slower than the speed at which the other person ran while carrying the goods.
Before they could even count half the money, the other person had already vanished.
I roughly estimated the thickness in my hand, and it shouldn't be wrong.
He gritted his teeth, tore open his pants, and stuffed the contents into his underwear.
After the buttons are fastened.
Without daring to linger, he quickly squatted down, put on his basket, and, leaning against a tree, stood up shakily and walked outside.
Su Qingci walked out of the woods for a while, found a secluded place, and carried the person and the box into the farm.
First, change your clothes back.
I washed my face, removed my makeup, and changed my shoes and clothes.
After resting at the farm for a while, I took the items out of the box one by one.
After sorting and storing everything, they slowly walked out of the farm and headed towards the security point.
