Farmer's pretty businesswoman

Chapter 10 Fortis Pawn Shop (2)
As the saying goes, rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, rely on the sea to eat the sea.

They live by the sea, and seafood is abundant. The snacks just now are basically some common seafood, and they don't have much skill in cooking food, which is really a waste of delicious ingredients.

She used to be a foodie, and her biggest hobby is usually looking for food.In her spare time, she often does it herself to satisfy the gluttons in her stomach.Now this hobby can be regarded as having a place to use.

"Chuchu, it's getting late, shouldn't we look for something to do?" Hao Qiancheng turned to look at Shangguan Chuchu, and couldn't understand her behavior of not asking where there was work since she came to the market.

When she was at home, she clearly said to see if there was anything she could do, but when someone came, she didn't seem to be looking for something for a long time, besides shopping, she was still shopping.

Shangguan Chuchu stopped in her tracks, staring at the prominent big characters not far away...Dang.

The pawn shop is also one of the destinations she came here today.She has no start-up funds, and it is impossible to earn five taels of silver in just three days, so before coming, she has decided to pawn off the jade pendant she wears around her neck first, and take it easy.

"Come on, follow me." Shangguan Chuchu walked towards the pawn shop, tightly grasping the jade pendant on his chest with his right hand.She didn't know what kind of story was behind this jade pendant, but she just had a strong feeling of reluctance.

Things are dead, people are alive.

She believed that as long as she got over the difficulty in front of her, she would be able to redeem it soon.

"You two guests, what do you need? Is it a pawn or a redemption?" The waiter standing in the lobby saw the guests arriving, and quickly greeted them. His attitude was considerate and he was full of courtesy. , and the words were ugly, and there was no look of contempt in the eyes.

Maybe it's because their job is to face people of different classes every day, so they don't care much about other people's clothing. Maybe, in their opinion, the poorer the talent, the more likely they are their potential customers.

There was a slight smile on the corner of his lips, and Shangguan responded with a charming smile: "Second brother, I want to be a jade pendant, I wonder if your shopkeeper is here?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Girl, please follow me."

Xiao Er brought the two of them to the tall counter, and said respectfully to the shopkeeper who was doing the accounting, "Shopkeeper, there is a girl here who wants to be a jade pendant."

"Well, you go to work first, I'll do it." The shopkeeper withdrew his eyes from the account book, raised his eyes to look at Shangguan Chuchu and Hao Qiancheng, and then dismissed Xiaoer beside him, and stretched out his hand with a smile, Said: "Little girl, can you show me your jade pendant?"

Her nimble eyes quickly scanned the pawnshop. This pawnshop was similar to what she had seen on TV. Above the counter was an iron fence that reached to the roof, and there was a small opening in the middle, which was obviously used for transactions.There is a wooden cabinet behind the shopkeeper, and there are many rare items on it. In the center of the wooden cabinet, there are several embossed characters...Futongdang.

Shangguan Chuchu untied the tether, and looked down at the crystal clear, pure and flawless suet jade with the word "auspicious" engraved on it. Even a layman like her knew that this piece of jade was peerless Good jade.

Reluctant to give up, she still handed the jade pendant to the shopkeeper without hesitation, "This is the jade left by my ancestors. The shopkeeper will take a look at it first, and then we will talk about the current affairs."

"..." Listening to her old-fashioned tone, the shopkeeper took a deep look at her, and then took the jade pendant.

Good jade, this is the second good jade he has ever seen.

Caressing the jade pendant carefully, as if she was a young woman, extraordinarily lovable.As if thinking that this was not enough, he held the jade pendant under the lamp again, and checked the purity and texture of the jade pendant through the light.

Suddenly, his eyes widened, and he stared closely at the two words on the jade pendant, feeling astonished.Putting down the jade pendant, the shopkeeper looked at Shangguan Chuchu thoughtfully, and saw that her eyes were clear, and she looked back at him calmly, and the speculation in his heart faded again.

"Little girl, is this jade pendant really handed down from your family?" The shopkeeper asked again, it's better to find out something like this.

Frowning, Shangguan Chuchu nodded affirmatively, "That's right! It's true."

"En." The shopkeeper nodded lightly, without asking any more questions, but walked out from the counter, opened the iron gate leading to the back, stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation, and said, "Little girl, regarding the current issue, Let's sit down and talk."

"it is good."

"Chuchu, that jade pendant is very important to you, you really want to take it." Hao Qiancheng held her hand, in addition to disapproval, there was deep self-blame in his eyes.That's right, he blamed himself, he blamed himself for not being capable, he blamed himself for not being able to keep the lovely jade pendant.

"It's only for the time being. I will redeem it soon." On the surface, Shangguan Chuchu was reassuring him, but in fact it was more of a self-determination.Whether it's a premonition or a reason, she just knows that this jade pendant cannot be left in her hands.

"Girl, please."

"Thank you! Shopkeeper, please." The polite humility and relentless demeanor made the shopkeeper look at Shangguan with admiration once again.As for the honest and honest Hao Qiancheng, he stood behind Shangguan Chuchu like a loyal little follower.

Both of them sat down, and the shopkeeper asked straight to the point: "Girl, this jade pendant is a good jade. I wonder how much taels you want to pawn it? Is it for a fixed term or dead?"

"Period Dang, the current period of one month." Shangguan Chuchu said, paused, and continued: "Shopkeeper, frankly speaking, if it wasn't for the urgent need for turnover, I would not come to be this jade pendant. This jade pendant is definitely a good piece of jade , in my heart, it is a piece of priceless jade. It is not so much that I use it as a mortgage loan. I only need 50 taels of silver. Please do the calculations from the shopkeeper. One month later, I How much will it take to redeem it?"

It's not safe to keep a huge amount of money on her body, she just needs a start-up fund now.No matter what dynasty or place, she knows that there is no free lunch in the world.If she pawned more money, the interest she would pay back would naturally be more. Therefore, it would not be worthwhile to use her own money to make money for others.

What she said made the shopkeeper look at him with admiration.They don't have the kind of pawning method she mentioned. Many people hope to pawn a little more money instead of asking how much money they pawn themselves.As for the business practices that he has never done before, he, a shopkeeper, cannot give her an answer, so he can only ask the owner's opinion first.

"Miss, we have never done what you said. However, I see that the girl is really in urgent need of money, so I will make an exception and ask our boss for instructions. I can't give you an answer for a while. Why don't you tomorrow Come on, I will give you an answer tomorrow."
