After making a wish, financial freedom

Chapter 2 Spanish Gold Coins

Li Zhuo came out of the community, hesitated for a moment, decided not to take the bus, to save time, and then waved for a taxi.

"Master, take me to the Gudang Vegetable Market in West Lake District."

"The one on Tianmu Mountain Road?"

"Yes, it's very close to Zhejiang University."

"Understood! You put on your seat belt and let's go."

……

After entering the vegetable market, Li Zhuo went straight to the freshwater production area, and found this goldtail grass carp in a red plastic basin in front of a stall.

It should be a local wild grass carp species, with a body length of about 30 centimeters, which is also a big one among grass carp, and it is estimated that it has lived for a long time.

There is a circle of smoke around its head, with this circle of smoke, Li Zhuo can clearly perceive its thoughts.

This kind of thought can be transformed into human language through the central "translation" of the incense burner.

This guy is indeed smart, with his white belly facing upwards, staring at the fish eyes and pretending to be dead, probably because he is afraid that customers will think that he bought it alive and made it into braised fish.

Li Zhuo squatted down, pretending to be a picker, reached into the water, and plucked the fish.

"Hey, Brother Yu, is my life still alive?"

The golden-tailed grass carp continued to roll its eyes:
"I'm alive and well, but I'm a little depressed, probably due to lack of oxygen."

Then turned back to normal.

Yes, this guy is in a good mood.

"Ha, you still know about hypoxia, so what is your wish?"

Grass carp: "My only wish is to return to the lake, and I don't want to become a fish on the tip of my tongue."

Li Zhuo asked curiously:

"Where did you live before?"

The grass carp wagged its tail, and then passed the incense burner, and Li Zhuo shared a picture of it living leisurely in the water.

This must be the West Lake, because through the fish's eyes, he saw the Leifeng Pagoda.

"Understood, what can you give in return?"

This goldtail fish spits out bubbles, another shared picture.

Li Zhuo judged that this picture should be underwater, the light penetrated through the water surface, and something shone golden on the bottom of the water.

This is... what baby?
Appears to be some kind of oddly patterned gold coin.

Li Zhuo's heart was beating fast, he was sure that he would get something good this time.

He stood up and asked the fat proprietress:
"How much is this fish per pound?"

"This is a local big grass carp. It tastes good and the meat is tender. 8 pieces."

Li Zhuo counter-offers:

"No, it's usually about 6 yuan a catty. Why do you sell it so expensive? Besides, this fish is half dead and ugly. It's only 3 yuan a catty at most..."

Goldtail grass carp: ...

But it cooperated very well, playing dead with its fish eyes turned, no matter how Li Zhuo shook it, it didn't struggle.

The proprietress saw that it seemed to be dying, so she said:

"That's 6 yuan a catty, no less."

"4 yuan!"

Boss lady: "..."

Li Zhuo: "..., how about four dollars and five dollars!"

In the end, Li Zhuo bought the fish for 22 yuan.

After collecting the money, the proprietress will kill the fish when she touches the knife.

Li Zhuo copied the fish back and said with a smile:

"This fish is full of vitality. I am about to take it out and release it. Don't kill it for me."

After finishing speaking, he put the fish into the plastic bag, and filled it with some water by himself.

As expected, the fish was swimming back and forth in the bag, with its mouth opening and closing, looking very happy.

Boss lady:  …

Li Zhuo left the farmer's market with the fish, and then walked to the West Lake.

Communicate while walking:
"Brother, don't go near the bank of the river in the future, you know? Occasionally, someone will come to the bank to cast a net to illegally fish, be careful not to become a vinegar fish in the West Lake;

In addition, stay away from the lotus pond, where the pond is cleared every year, and those who need to sprinkle bleach, don't get killed.

I just saved you, but I don't want you to turn into a lump so soon..."

grass carp:……

It was not far from the vegetable market to the shore of the West Lake, and Li Zhuo arrived there very quickly, but he also went around and found the most suitable place to release the goldentail grass carp.

"Are you ready? Let's go, don't forget to give me the gold coin!"

Li Zhuo poured the goldentail grass carp into the West Lake. It wagged its tail happily, looked back at Li Zhuo, and then dived into the lake.

Li Zhuo was a little worried, he couldn't help asking the incense burner in his backpack:
"Brother Stove, can't there be no return? If there is really no return, you have to make up for me."

incense burner:……

It was already evening, and after a short wait, ripples appeared on the lake in front of Li Zhuo, and the golden-tailed grass carp probed for a while, and then swam towards him.

There were not many people around, and no one cared about a person watching by the lake. Li Zhuo quickly lay down on the ground, stretched out his hand to hold the gold coin in Grass Carp's mouth, and stood up after holding it firmly.

He didn't look at it either, and put the gold coins into the pocket of his trousers, regardless of the water that made his trousers a little wet.

"Goodbye, Brother Yu!" He waved towards the lake, and the grass carp wagged its tail smartly, then dived into the bottom of the water.

After the matter was completed, he turned around and left the lake.

Feeling a little hungry, he walked into a noodle shop by the side of the road. He was so happy that he had to eat the most expensive noodles.

A bowl of fried eel noodles is 68 yuan.

That's it.

Li Zhuo shouted towards the kitchen without changing his expression:

"Boss, one serving of noodles with vegetables and meat, plus a stewed egg."

The fried eel noodles were too expensive, so Li Zhuo was reluctant in the end.

"Okay, vegetables and meat noodles are 13 yuan, braised eggs are 1.5 yuan, a total of 14 yuan and 5 yuan."

After eating the noodles, Li Zhuo took the subway to go home.

When I got home, the person I lived with had already returned. His name was Wu Tao, and his family conditions were better than Li Zhuo’s. He also had some connections in his family. After graduating from university, he found a relationship and went to work in a publishing house specializing in the printing of primary school teaching aids. The salary was average. , but the bonus is said to be quite a lot, with an average monthly income of more than 1.

It is precisely because of this that he doesn't think much of Li Zhuo, who comes from an ordinary family and has an ordinary job.

But this guy is a licking dog, and most of his monthly salary is spent on his new girlfriend, so that he can only make do with Li Zhuo to live in the same old and poor.

Wu Tao was sitting on the sofa in the living room on the phone, quite noisy.

Li Zhuo beckoned lightly, then went into his bedroom and locked the door behind him.

He put the backpack on the desk, and then took out the gold coin from his pocket.

The obverse of this gold coin is the profile of a bearded king, and the middle of the reverse is a shield with a crown on it and a golden fleece below it. The Arabic numeral 8 is written on the left side of the shield and the letter "" is written on the right side. S".

According to the letters on the gold coin, Li Zhuo searched it with his mobile phone, and finally determined that it was a Spanish Ferdinand VII gold coin, minted in Colombia in 1809, with a denomination of 8escudos, a value of about 1 ounce, and a weight of about 27. Grams, 90% gold content.

According to an online search, its market price is about 3 yuan, and it has a good appreciation potential.

But the problem is how to get rid of it. The wishing incense burner provides the function of recycling valuables, but it is only half price, which feels like a half loss.

He casually put the Ferdinand VII gold coin into the incense burner. The market price given by the incense burner was 3.4 yuan, and the half-price recovery was 1.7 yuan.

Li Zhuo decided to look online. He found a appraiser on Douyin called "Kitten Jianbao". Be merciful, but it feels quite accurate to see things.

Anyway, Li Zhuo knew the origin and general value of this thing, even if the appraiser talked nonsense, it wouldn't affect him, and it would be easier to sell it later after appraising it.

He sent a private message to the other party, and it didn't take long for the other party to send a reply.

"I am quite interested in foreign gold coins. I will broadcast live at 08:30 tonight. You bring something to connect with me via video. I will appraise it for you then."
