Chapter 019 was quite an eye-opener (2/2)



Chi Qiao hurriedly pulled Chi Dahu to his feet, "Hello, Master Bai!"

I am the owner of this crystal bracelet, and I imagine you have already heard the shopkeeper's explanation of my intentions.

I wonder what price you'd offer for this bracelet?

If the price is right, then I'll have it.

I have one request: it must be a flexible pawn. I'll redeem it when I have more money later.

Master Bai and the shopkeeper were actually outside the door, listening to the conversation inside the room for a while.

Therefore, it was not surprising to hear Chi Qiao's words at this moment.

Upon hearing this, he said, "Madam, why don't you bring out the other accessories as well? I'll take a look and give you a price for them all at once."

But there's one thing you need to understand, madam: even the best items won't go up in price.

If Madam is truly short of money, then she should pawn it without hesitation; the price will certainly increase several times over.

Without waiting for Chi Qiao's reply, he continued, "Our Bai family pawnshop is known throughout Anping County as a shop with a conscience."

It seems that the lady did some research before deciding to come in.

If it is a set of accessories that the lady brings out, the quality and workmanship are just as exquisite.

I can offer 150 taels for a pawned item.

Of course, this is on the premise that the set contains no fewer than five pieces.

One less item, thirty taels less. If it's a fixed pawn, I can offer fifty taels for each item.

If it's a complete set, and no fewer than five pieces, I can increase the price to three hundred taels.

Such quality and craftsmanship are unparalleled in the Great Chu Kingdom.

Just a while ago, my uncle, a direct descendant of the Empress, was worried about what to give as a gift for the sixth princess, born to the Empress, at the end of the year when she came of age.

I specifically instructed them to keep an eye on things and to buy and send over any good items they found.

Isn't this like someone offering you a pillow when you're just dozing off?

Before Chi Qiao could react, Chi Dahu, who was sitting on pins and needles to the side, was stunned.

What? This thing is worth thirty taels if it's sold alive, but fifty taels if it's sold dead?

It sounds like it's worth more than hunting a tiger?

Back then, he and his second and third brothers risked their lives to hunt an adult tiger, only to sell it for a little over a hundred taels of silver.

How can something that's neither edible nor drinkable be sold at such a high price?

As Chi Qiao took out the remaining accessories, she shook her head and said, "These are royal items from the side stories."

Let alone pawning it for fifty taels if it were dead, even if it were pawned alive for fifty taels, I still think it's not worth it.

This set includes a bracelet, ring, earrings, pendant earrings, and necklace.

Both stud earrings and dangling earrings belong to the earring type, but stud earrings can be worn on a daily basis.

Earrings, on the other hand, are worn on formal occasions.

As she spoke, she wasn't afraid that Bai Dongjia would cheat her, and handed over the rest.

"If you really want it, sir, this set of performances is worth three hundred taels of silver. I'll give it to you!"

Upon hearing this, Chi Dahu's heart trembled.

Good heavens, that old woman is really bold. Isn't she afraid that the boss, Mr. Bai, might kick them out in a fit of anger?

Three hundred taels, but it's said as if it were only three taels.

In the past, if they could bring back two taels of silver from hunting, the old woman would be all smiles.

Today, he really had his eyes opened!

After Chi Qiao took out the corresponding accessories, Bai Dongjia looked at the items on the table and imagined how dazzling the Sixth Princess would look wearing them.

But three hundred taels for a live pawn is really too expensive, and he wants a dead pawn.

Thinking this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Madam, at this price, not many people in this small place can afford it."

If the lady truly needs the money urgently, she can pawn it at any cost.

"I can only offer a maximum of five hundred taels for this set, if it's a sure thing."
