Chapter 27 The Man Was Testing Her

"Let's not beat around the bush, 100 taels, let's die!" Zhang Xiaoying cut to the chase.

Hesitation flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes, "Sister, this is a pawnshop, not a shantang. If you go to other places to make such a price, you will be kicked out."

The water head of this jade pendant is really good. If you take it outside, not to mention too much, you can sell it for 150 taels.

"The shopkeeper also knows the goods. This is my family's ancestral jade. If it weren't for my disappointing son who was seriously ill, I would never have taken it out as a pawn." Zhang Xiaoying wiped away tears that didn't exist. ah!"

The shopkeeper took the jade pendant from Zhang Xiaoying's hand again.

Things are really good, but businessmen want bigger profits.

"Although it is life-saving money, the pawnshop is not a charity, and it can't make our owner lose money, right? Let's see, 100 taels is too much, how about 80 taels?"

"One hundred, if the shopkeeper thinks it can be done, we will make a contract, if not, I will look elsewhere."

Zhang Xiaoying knew that 100 taels was definitely not enough, but it should be the bottom line of the pawn shop.

Unless she can find a better buyer, it will be difficult to get such a sum of money in a short time.

There are so many mouths waiting to open their mouths to eat at home, some money can't be saved.

Who made her like being a grandmother?

"Sister, why don't you wait here? Let me ask the shopkeeper? I can't decide this matter."

"Where is your shopkeeper? How long will you have to wait?"

"It's right behind, just wait a moment."

"Okay, you go."

The shopkeeper got up and went to the back.

After a while, a middle-aged man in brocade clothes came out following the shopkeeper.

"This is our boss." The shopkeeper introduced.

"Boss." Zhang Xiaoying said hello.

The man nodded slightly, signaling Zhang Xiaoying to give him the jade pendant.

After reading it, he asked Zhang Xiaoying, "Do you want 100 taels of death?"

"Correct."

"Is this jade pendant really your family heirloom?"

"Yes."

"But there are others? There should be a set."

This man is testing her!
"It's a pity to take it apart. If my wife can come up with a set, we can discuss the price separately."

Zhang Xiaoying looked normal and shook her head, "I only have this jade pendant in my hand, I really don't know if there are others."

The man's inquiring eyes flickered away.

Perhaps Zhang Xiaoying's expression was too natural, and he couldn't see any clues, so the man said: "Okay, 100 two deaths."

The shopkeeper smiled, and hurried to write the contract.

"In the future, if there are such ancestral items that you want to die for, you can bring them to me. The price is negotiable." The man smiled slightly.

"No more." Zhang Xiaoying looked distressed, "If my unworthy son didn't need money, I would never pawn things passed down from my ancestors anyway."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiaoying's eyes turned red again.

The acting skills are so superb that he successfully deceived the boss.

The owner took the silver and came out.

Zhang Xiaoying said, "Can you give me 90 taels and exchange the remaining ten taels for broken silver?"

The owner agreed.

After finishing the pawning process, Zhang Xiaoying left the pawn shop with 100 taels of silver in her pocket. With confidence, she walked with wind.

Zhang Xiaoying first went to buy a pair of baskets, then grabbed the medicinal materials she needed, and then went into the rice shop.

Rice was ten yuan a catty, and white flour was twenty yuan a catty. Zhang Xiaoying ordered sixty catties of rice, twenty catties of white flour, and some other miscellaneous grains.

After that, Zhang Xiaoying went to Buzhuang again.

The clothes of the eldest girl and the second girl were not only covered with patches, but also reached their ankles, and their faces were flushed with cold.

Zhang Xiaoying pulled cloth that could make a set of clothes for each of the adults, two sets for each of the three children, and bought a few pairs of cloth shoes.

Making money is meaningless if it is not for eating and drinking!
Zhang Xiaoying went to the meat stall to buy two tube bones, two pig's feet and three catties of pork, as well as some salt, sugar and seasonings. This day, she spent nearly 12 taels of silver.

Zhang Xiaoying went to Fengyue Restaurant with a load full of things.

Wang Ren and Guanshi Liao were already waiting there.

Zhang Xiaoying's basket was covered with something, so she couldn't see what was underneath.

Wang Ren stepped forward to take up Zhang Xiaoying's burden and was almost overwhelmed.

Zhang Xiaoying pushed him away with a look of disgust, and asked Liao Guanshi: "Is the back kitchen available?"

"Well, it's empty. I'll put my ugly words in front of you. If you ruin something, you have to pay for it. Of course, if you really make the dishes you said, we will have another thank you."

"Row."

Zhang Xiaoying took the lead in the back kitchen.

Liao Guanshi had told the back kitchen staff earlier, but Zhang Xiaoying still got several disdainful eyes when she came in.

"Guard Liao, the back kitchen is a place for men, how can women be allowed in?"

"I don't know if he came here to steal the teacher? If something happens then, don't blame us, Guanshi Liao."

"It's unknown for a woman to enter the back kitchen, and it's easy to spoil the meat and vegetables. Manager Liao should let people out!"

……

"It's unknown if a woman enters the back kitchen? You jumped out of a rock and didn't want to be born with a woman? You were born by a woman and scolded you, why didn't your mother strangle you to death?" Zhang Xiaoying lowered her face and retorted.

"Don't marry a daughter-in-law if you look down on a woman, and live with a man! While taking advantage of a woman, while scolding a woman, a wolf-hearted beast, living is a waste."

The cook glared and pointed at Zhang Xiaoying with a kitchen knife: "Old godly woman, if you have the ability, can you say it again?"

Zhang Xiaoying's figure flashed, but before the cook realized what was going on, the kitchen knife in his hand was on his neck.

"Since your mother doesn't teach you how to respect people, let my old lady teach you how to be a man! Tell me, if I slap your neck hard, will you still survive?" Zhang Xiaoying stood behind him with a half-smile.

Everyone was too scared to speak by this scene.

Wang Ren was full of admiration.

It turns out that the old ancestor is more powerful than he imagined, what a goddamn majesty!

Wang Ren is a tactful person, and it can be seen that Zhang Xiaoying's temperament is the kind of person who just makes sense with fists when there is a disagreement.

He didn't want to make the scene too tense, so he came out to step up for Liao Guanshi:
"Master Liao, I told you that my aunt has a bad temper. Look at these people, you have to make trouble. My aunt is doing business with you, and I didn't steal their jobs, and I don't know how to respect the elderly. Turn around You have to talk about them.

"Auntie, we don't have the same knowledge as these rough guys. They are just afraid that you will steal their jobs. Let's do things first, okay? It's getting late, and I'm afraid we won't be able to go back to town if it's later."

Wang Ren stepped forward with a smile, and carefully took the kitchen knife.

Zhang Xiaoying stared at the cook coldly, the cook was already dripping with cold sweat, his legs were weak.

Zhang Xiaoying let go of the kitchen knife and walked straight to the stove. All the ingredients had been used up, and there was not much left.

When Zhang Xiaoying started to work, the chefs who looked down on Zhang Xiaoying were all surprised by her fast and exquisite knife skills.

Using the existing ingredients, Zhang Xiaoying made four dishes: Braised Chicken with Mushrooms, Chicken Soup with Mushrooms, Braised Mushrooms, and Stuffed Meat with Mushrooms.
