The structure of currency and silver cannot be constructed, but there are quite a lot of crystal clear red pointed coins in stock.
I don't know how the rules of this world are set.
Tiancheng's ship equipment was disconnected and the items in the space could not be accessed, but Su Xin tried and found that her treasure bag was not affected, and her underwear, shoes, socks and the like were still there.
The amounts of the three resources are staggering, but the supplies and oil are of no use for the time being.
"Hmm... Is that enough? Will people think too much of me if I take too much?"
Su Xin said as she took out two longan-sized clear gems and tossed them around casually, not paying much attention to them, as if they were just two stones that could be found anywhere.
His manners were so generous and frivolous that he looked a bit like a dandy, which was quite new and unfamiliar.
Tian Cheng pursed his lips, knowing that it was the negative impact of the change in her personality, and he couldn't say anything to her, so he just lowered his eyes and said:
"It's probably enough. Jewelry and the like were expensive in ancient times. Even if I sell them at a loss, I can still buy some clothes and find a place to live. It's enough."
Su Xin nodded, thinking about what kind of clothes to wear later.
When they came here, they didn't bring any antique clothes. Their casual clothes may look similar to formal wear at first glance, but they will still attract attention after a while.
Tiancheng's situation was better than hers, as she wore a wide-sleeved long robe "as factory settings", but unfortunately the style highlighted her curves too much.
Commander Su is in a bad mood right now and is very jealous.
The background of the times is different. The extremely conservative outfit at home would always attract people's attention if worn nowadays, so she was not very happy to let the fox wear it out.
In the end, one person wore the hat and the other changed the clothes, so we still had to buy two.
And you need to prepare a few more sets for changing. After all, the Tiancheng clothes in Su Xin's space cannot be worn, and the only ones left are socks.
Even if you stay in an inn, taking a shower and hanging clothes is a big problem.
Su Xin sighed inwardly, it was really inconvenient everywhere here.
Especially the two of them have to find someone, otherwise they can just buy a yard and wear short sleeves every day, which is simply too uncomfortable.
Tiancheng didn't have the leisure time like her, these details were really unimportant
She is not here for tourism. If she fails to demonstrate her value, she will become a burden. She does not want to see trust betrayed.
So she thought about it for a moment, turned around and whispered in Su Xin's ear.
Seeing the other party nod and obediently hand over the two red diamonds, Tiancheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Of course, it was the best situation that he could listen to advice.
"Then let's go to the pawn shop first, and then we can discuss how to find someone later.
"Hmm, listen to you."
Chapter 1178 Young Lady's Maid (3
"The shopkeeper's."
"Hey, the shopkeeper is here, please come in~"
The skinny man standing behind the counter opened his eyelids at the sound, turned his attention away from the account book, and glanced past the handyman at the two people who had entered the store.
The tall one had a good-looking face and a graceful figure. Although the clothes she wore were of strange style, they were made of precious materials. The waist was complicated and extremely exquisite. It was estimated that she was not from an ordinary family.
The shorter one is not as good. His clothes are loose and dragging. The material is also ordinary. It is worse than linen, but not as shiny as silk. Maybe he is a follower.
Two women coming to this shabby place is a rare combination.
But this has nothing to do with him. After all, he has run the store for several years. What hasn't he seen?
After all, pawnshop transactions are nothing more than the exchange of money and goods. As a businessman, he only evaluates the property and makes a profit from the difference.
Other things? That's not his business.
"Shopkeeper, we want to sell something."
The short girl's voice was obviously that of a girl, with a loud and brash voice. She was either innocent and ignorant of the world, or she had someone to rely on when she was away from home.
The skinny man is cautious by nature, unlike those short-sighted guys who go bankrupt in a few months.
If it were ten years ago, he could have made two deals, but after witnessing the tragic incident of a colleague having his hands and feet broken after trying to cheat on him a few years ago, he no longer dared to have the same idea.
When doing business, don't risk your life.
In order to avoid being buried decades earlier, tens of thousands of taels of silver would be exchanged for tens of thousands of pieces of white paper, and he would be demoted faster than an official in the imperial court.
He distinguished the pros and cons, took out a silk handkerchief and spread it on the table, and said in a businesslike manner.
"What do you want to buy, young lady? Just place it here and I will estimate its price."
The short maid raised her chin slightly and said, "Of course it is of high quality and rare.
"Ahem, Susu..."
The voice of this rich lady is quite gentle. Looking at the little girl who kept her mouth shut, she must be a servant.
The shopkeeper no longer paid attention to the maid, but instead looked at the woman who was reaching into her sleeve to take something.
The hand wrapped in strange silk clothes was clenched into a fist, moved above the brocade handkerchief, put something down and then gently retracted it, leaving two smoothly cut red beads.
"I confess my guilt."
After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he held the two sides of the brocade handkerchief and held the object in front of his eyes for a closer look through the handkerchief.
"Is this... King Kong? This color is quite rare."
The maid couldn't hold back her words and started to show off proudly, "How are they? How much are two of them worth? It's rare to see one this transparent."
The shopkeeper frowned, not wanting to pay attention, and turned to look at the lady who was quietly waiting for his evaluation.
"To be honest, diamonds are rarely used as treasures. They are mostly used as jade carving tools. Although your head is not small, it is hard to get a good price."
The little maid glared, "Don't scare my young lady, this is what she got from the master--"
"Susu! Ahem... sorry." The woman, who looked ill, covered her lips and coughed softly, and said in a gentle voice, "Boss, how much is it worth? Just name a price."
It is indeed rare for wealthy families to have such an attitude towards vendors like them.
Plus the word "Master" that girl just mentioned...
Could it be that some young lady was dissatisfied with her marriage and fled here?
Although this has little to do with business, if I can establish a good relationship with him, no matter whether he returns home in the future or makes other plans, my friendship will have been sold.
Diamonds are not as valuable as precious jade, and they are too hard to carve and shape.
Because of its red and transparent color, it can be disguised as precious glass and embedded in jewelry to increase the price a bit.
A little bit of supplementation
After all, it's just a favor, so this deal isn't a loss.
In just a few breaths, the shopkeeper thought over and over again, and finally decided on the price. He put the two diamonds back on the table and said:
"In that case, each coin is sold at 50 taels, and the two coins together can be sold for 110 taels. What do you think, young lady?"
The little maid jumped out again, "Hey? You must be trying to trick us. This is embedded in the belt. Our master doesn't even wear a jade pendant, but other families envy our master!"
When the shopkeeper saw the young lady raising her hand to cover the maid's mouth, he was secretly surprised. After a little thought, he added some more money.
"Well, young lady, you can pawn the gem with me, and I will lend you 200 taels of silver, with interest of % per month for three years. If you can raise the money, you can come and take it at any time."
The maid wanted to argue again, but her mouth was covered and she could not hear what she was shouting.
The young lady smiled apologetically, "Then let's do as the shopkeeper said and sign the agreement."
The shopkeeper nodded, picked up the pen and started writing, but he could hear the master and servant discussing in low voices as they walked a few steps away.
Young lady: "Stop making trouble. My father has been an honest official for many years. Even if the price of the gem is not as expected, you should not make a fuss. If you destroy my father's reputation, I will not forgive you!"
The maidservant said: "But, but that was a reward. Miss, you are foolish. Even if the price is several times higher than 200 taels, someone would still want it. This person is really short-sighted!"
Young lady: "When you are out, you only need enough money to get by. If you really get so much money, do you dare to spend it? The guards you hired are warriors after all. What will you do if they have bad intentions?"
Maid: "This, this... I have never thought about it..."
Young lady: "You, since you are following me to escape marriage, it is a taboo to speak your mind. If you run into soldiers, I don't think you dare to say anything."
Maid: "I won't dare to do it again..."
The shopkeeper paused, sorted out the interests, gritted his teeth and added another hundred taels to the document. He finished writing in a rapid motion and called the master and servant over.
The young lady from the official family picked up the pen to write, but she was surprised when she saw the 300 taels of payment written on the paper.
"Boss, you wrote the wrong amount, didn't you?"
The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "No mistake. I just thought about it carefully and found that the valuation was wrong. It is worth 300 taels. If you are willing to take it, please sign and seal it."
After saying this, the young lady's eyes seemed to turn red. She looked at him with gratitude, and then she lowered her head and began to write.
【Su Cheng】
The shopkeeper wrote down the name and prepared to go back and ask which official in the capital had the surname "Su".
After receiving the banknote, the young lady who had run away from her marriage said in a soft and joyful voice: "Thank you very much, shopkeeper. I will remember this favor."
The shopkeeper secretly breathed a sigh of relief and personally saw the guests out. Seeing several strong men in simple clothes following him secretly, he breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in his seat.
The errand boy stretched his neck to take a look at the gemstone. "Boss, didn't you say it was a diamond? How can it be so valuable? It's worth 300 taels of silver?"
"Tsk, you need to practice more on the art of reading people's expressions. The price is not worth it, but she is worth it. Here is the document, maybe it will be useful in the future."
The servant asked again: "Hey? Whose daughter is this?"
The shopkeeper sighed, "I just saw those guards. They are very good at hiding. If I hadn't kept a close eye on that girl, I probably wouldn't have discovered their identities."
The servant admired and exclaimed, "That's right, boss, you are really amazing!
The shopkeeper snorted, "Here, those who don't follow the rules won't live long."
"Hehe... you really dare to follow me."
Su Xin kicked away the last unconscious sturdy man and approached Tian Cheng as if to seek credit, "Am I really awesome? They fell down so fast."
Tiancheng smiled and said, "Yes, thanks to Susu for protecting me."
"Oh, actually not. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't have thought that you could raise the price like this. Miss, you are really smart!"
"Stop being so joking, buy some clothes and pack your things, it's time for us to leave."
"Yes miss, no problem miss."
"Hey...you~"
PS: Note 1: It comes from the encyclopedia, which says that diamonds could not be mined on a large scale in ancient times, and were used as tools in bits and pieces. The saying "one can learn from others' experience" probably refers to this, so red diamonds are not very valuable.
But in the end, I just did a cursory check, and I'm sure I don't know the specific settings as well as the experts who wrote this, so just take a look at it, and it's normal to have bugs (remember that the author is a fool
Chapter 1179 Visiting a Flower House
With the money, the two went to the clothing store and picked out some clothes.
Because it is more convenient to wear men's clothes when going out, Tiancheng said that a veil would be enough, and then he turned around and looked for a piece of cloth to wrap his chest.
Make the clothes a little looser and move the belt down. Learn from Hood in Hong Kong who is an expert at hiding his chest and wear two more pieces, and the curve will be flatter.
As for the Adam's apple and other things that require lighting up the disguise skills, Su Xin and Tian Cheng were unable to do it, so they simply gave up.
Anyway, they didn't intend to get close to anyone's face, so the small details couldn't be seen unless you looked closely.
"Where should we go now?"
Su Xin asked casually after changing her clothes. She looked left and right, curious about the outfit.
Tiancheng looked at her twice. Her bangs were tied into a ponytail, revealing her full forehead. Coupled with her round deer eyes, she looked lively and innocent.
It didn’t seem like a young master, but there was nothing else to be done.
"Before the Observer sent us here, he told us that Enterprise and Helena were both here. They would go to the place where the anomaly appeared to investigate the situation."
Su Xin had only been here for a short time, and she had used her hands a few times but never her brain.
She thought that there didn't seem to be anything unusual about this, as it was just traveling through a costume drama and looking for someone.
They were given a communication device with the [Siren] channel, but they had used it when they first arrived and did not receive the same frequency signal, so they still didn't know where the little octopus was.
Su Xin remembered the other person's appearance. Drawing was acceptable, but handing out flyers was too inefficient. It was definitely not a good idea.
"Hmm... so what's wrong?"
