super wormhole

Seeing that Li Hao was wearing silk, the guy didn't dare to neglect him at all.

The quality of this lighter is not bad, it costs more than 20 yuan each, and the outside is plated with a layer of gold alloy.

The guy thought it was a piece of gold at first, but as soon as he got it in his hand, he knew it was definitely not gold, and gold would not be so light.

The pawnshop clerk held the lighter and looked at it repeatedly, the more he looked at it, the more dignified his expression became.This guy was specially trained by the pawn shop. Since he could sit in front of the counter, it meant that he already had a certain vision for the valuation of items.But he had never seen a lighter before, and he didn't know what it was used for.

The pawn shop has its own method of identifying items. First, look at the material.Of course, where has he seen the alloy processed by modern technology?

The guy looked at it for a long time and frowned. It was neither gold, nor silver, nor copper, nor iron, so he couldn't figure out what it was.But this thing should be quite precious, as can be seen from the metallic luster on the surface, as well as from its fine workmanship.

The surface of this thing is so smooth that it can even reflect the silhouette of a person. There are a few straight lines on it, full of the beauty of craftsmanship.Only the best craftsmen can do this.

The clerk raised his head and asked awkwardly: "My esteemed guest, please excuse my poor eyesight, I can't recognize this treasure. Please enlighten me, what kind of treasure is this?" As a clerk of a pawnshop, he asked this question It's embarrassing, but there's no way, he really doesn't recognize it.

Li Hao smiled slightly, but without answering, took the lighter from the clerk, pushed his thumb up, and with a "ding", pushed the lid of the lighter open.Press it lightly again, and a small flame spit out from the lighter. [

The guy exclaimed "ah", startled by the sudden flames.

People in the Song Dynasty used to make fire mainly by keeping the fire alive, and to make a new fire they needed fire knives, flint and tinder.When lighting a fire, first take a little dry tinder and put it on the firelighter, then hit the flint with a fire knife to generate sparks to ignite the tinder, and finally ignite the firewood. The whole process is very troublesome.

The chap never dared to imagine that something could burst into flames, it was completely beyond his common sense.

The guy's startled breath attracted others, and they came closer to watch.Li Hao demonstrated the lighter again, and the people around him exclaimed in unison.

One of the pale-haired old men shouted: "This is a fairy art! Lord Huodexing has descended to the earth! Greetings to Lord Huodexing." He knelt down Wei Wei.

The old man took the lead, and the others knelt down, saying in one voice, "Greetings to Huode Xingjun!"

Li Hao was stunned. The acceptance ability of the ancient people is too low. A lighter can fool them into such a situation. If he takes out a tablet computer and plays "Shushan" or a few episodes of "Journey to the West" "Records", "Fengshen Bang" and so on, don't they just think of themselves as gods?

What a bunch of scumbags who have never seen the world.

Li Hao helped the old man up, he just wanted to sell the lighter now, he didn't want to be a magic stick, and said: "Old man, this is just a tool for making fire. It's similar to a fire knife and flint, but it's processed by skilled craftsmen, and the workmanship is very good That's all."

The old man was stunned for a while: "Isn't this the magic weapon of Huode Xingjun?"

Li Hao said with a smile: "Of course not, how can Huode Xingjun's magic weapon make a little flame? Old man, try it, press here." Then, he handed the lighter to the old man and taught him how to use it .

The old man pressed the lighter, and a flame burst out.Although there was a breeze blowing, the flames only shook slightly, but did not go out until the old man loosened his thumb, and the flames disappeared.

The old man murmured: "This is a magic weapon, this is a magic weapon."

The people around talked a lot: "It's amazing, the flames can be conjured out of thin air, this is a magic spell."

"It's not a spell, it's a conjuring. It's blindfolding, and the flames can't be real."[

"You are blind, why is this fire not real, there are obviously flames shaking, why is it not real?"

Li Hao ignored them and directly handed the lighter into the counter. "This is called a lighter. It is made by the most skilled craftsmen overseas. It can be fired many times. Try it! Press here."

The guy took the lighter, pressed it as Li Hao did just now, and lit it too. Hearing people's discussion, he hesitantly stretched out his finger to approach the flame.His fingers were burned by the flames, and he retracted immediately.

"My God, it's not a trick, it can really make a fire. This fire... chicken, this fire chicken is so convenient to light a fire." The guy respectfully said, "Please wait a moment, my honored guest, I will invite the shopkeeper over here. I have the right to price a treasure."

Li Hao nodded slightly, and the guy hurried to find the shopkeeper.

After a while, hurried footsteps sounded, and the guy led in a shopkeeper who was nearly fifty years old.The shopkeeper arched his hands all the way: "The distinguished guest is here, and Mr. Han is late to greet you, forgive me for my sin."

Li Hao also followed his example and cupped his hands: "Don't dare, shopkeeper Han is too polite."

Li Hao demonstrated the usage of the lighter to shopkeeper Han.Shopkeeper Han took the lighter carefully and tried to light it twice. He is an old fox in the shopping mall. Although he is calm on the surface, his heart is full of turmoil.

Compared with this lighter, other fire tools are simply scum.Shopkeeper Han said with a smile: "The accent of the distinguished guest does not seem to be from Quanzhou. I don't know where the ancestral home is?"

Li Hao smiled from the bottom of his heart, trying to figure out my details.But this also shows that he values ​​the lighter, otherwise he would not ask around in circles.

"My name is Li Hao. I was born in Song Dynasty, but I have been studying abroad since I was a child. People in my family have already migrated overseas. I grew up overseas, but I don't understand the local accent of Song Dynasty. Shame!"

"Overseas? Where exactly? I have seen goods from places like Dashi, Daqin, Persia, Baida, Majia, Gulin, and Sgari, and they seem to produce such exquisite and practical treasures by law." Those who are not familiar with the world are more and more confused about the origin of the lighter.

"Han shopkeeper, have you ever heard of Lu Ban, the carpenter's ancestor? The descendants of their Gongshu family avoided disaster overseas and spread the family's skills on a continent far away in the East China Sea. The people there have been studying various skills for hundreds of years. A manned wooden bird that flies in the sky, a wooden ox and a horse that can move on its own, and an iron-clad ship that can sail across the ocean.”

Shopkeeper Han was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't come back to his senses for a while, and said in surprise: "It is said in the book that Lu Ban can be a wooden bird, which can fly in the sky for three days without falling to the ground. Is this true?"

"Of course it's true. I've been on a wooden bird and flew above the white clouds." Li Hao said inwardly, "I've never ridden on a wooden bird, but I've been on a plane when I participated in an inter-school exchange meeting with the school's professors. Above the white clouds, these words are not completely fooling you."

"Uh..." Shopkeeper Han was right, and it took a long time before he could say, "Flying above the white clouds, it's very close to the Nantianmen, isn't it? The heavenly soldiers and generals of the Nantianmen allow mortals to fly into the sky? Don't they arrest people?" .

"Uh..." Now it's Li Hao's turn to be right, the old man's words are really unfolding, brother will lose to you. "Many people have sat on wooden birds, but they have never seen heavenly soldiers and generals."

Shopkeeper Han nodded and said, "Maybe it's still far away from Nantianmen, and the heavenly soldiers and generals don't bother to care about these things." He thought of a reasonable explanation.

Li Hao was very interested, and he didn't want to continue talking with this native of the Song Dynasty. There was indeed a generation gap between the two parties. He brought the topic back and said, "Master Han, how much do you think this lighter is worth?"

Shopkeeper Han is a pawnbroker, and according to the rules, he should estimate the price first. He mused, "You can pawn 10 coins in this shop."

Li Hao checked the prices of goods in the Song Dynasty in history two days ago, and he did a random calculation. The purchasing power of 1 penny in the Song Dynasty was about 1000 to 10 cents in the main world.And it is always 3000 coins, so [-] coins is a lot of money, and the purchasing power in the main world exceeds [-] yuan.

Li Hao checked the information, and it is said that Su Dongpo's letter to Qin Guan said how he was thrifty and only spent 4 pennies and 500 Wen per month to support his family.

Although Su Dongpo had been demoted at that time, he was still an official, and he had wives, concubines, and servants. Even if he was frugal, the cost would definitely be higher than that of ordinary families. It can be seen that the monthly income and expenditure of ordinary families is far lower than 4 Guan. 500 Wen.

A lighter costs 10 guan, and only wealthy families would buy it. The gap between the rich and the poor was very serious in the Song Dynasty, and a small number of people in society were very rich.

Li Hao laughed and said, "10 guan coins? Shopkeeper Han, this kind of lighter is made by Lu Ban's descendants, and the craftsmanship has been lost. Even overseas, it is a rare treasure. Except for me, there is no such thing as a lighter in the Song Dynasty. Can't find a second lighter."

"How much do you say it's worth?"

Li Hao smiled and said, "One price, 200 guan!"

Shopkeeper Han laughed and said, "It's really a lion's mouth. Don't you count how many cattle you can buy with 200 guan? This ignited object is worth so much?"

"There are a lot of farm cattle in the world, but I am the only one who has lighters." Li Hao was not in a hurry, anyway, this is not the only pawn shop, and if there is no deal here, you can go to other pawn shops.

"Up to 20 guns, isn't this something that can light a fire? Those who can afford this thing are high-ranking officials and dignitaries. It is impossible for them to light a fire or light a lamp by themselves. Buying a lighter is just curiosity and showing off, and it is completely useless. sex."

Li Hao admits that this lighter is really not worth the high price if only in terms of function.After all, lighters are not an irreplaceable commodity. Although fire knives and sickles are troublesome, Song people have long been used to them.He set a super high price of 200 guan, which was also with the mind of asking for a sky-high price. He didn't think it was really possible to sell such a high price, after all, a pawnshop is not an auction.

The two talked again, but neither of them would give in. Li Hao left the pawn shop seeing that they couldn't reach an agreement.

Li Hao found several pawnshops in a row, and the highest price they offered was only 50 guan.Seeing that the market was like this, Li Hao sold all the ten lighters he brought here. If they sold too much, the price dropped a bit, and finally they were sold at 40 pens.

Ten lighters were sold for 400 sticks, at least hundreds of times the profit.Space-time trade is indeed a huge profiteering industry!

The amount of 400 guan is quite large. They completed the transaction at a nearby bank, and Li Hao had a stack of bank notes and some broken silver on him.
