The shop owner sent Yan Shouyi to the door with a smile, and watched Yan Shouyi and his group leave before returning and starting to introduce various fabrics to Xu Boan.
With the strong support of Miss Su and Yan Shouyi, Xu Boan has obtained the right to purchase two sets of clothes. For a cloth shop in a market town, this is already a rare and important customer.
In addition, the talented Xu Boan also gave the store owner face, talked decently, and had an attitude that was neither arrogant nor humble. Even the store owner felt that Xu Boan's conversational courage was not like that of ordinary people, so, The store owner was not only much more polite to Xu Boan, but also came to serve him personally.
After a while, with the patient help of the shop owner, Xu Boan finally selected the suitable fabric and clothing style.
Because of the permission of the store owner, Xu Bo'an's clothes were processed urgently. The two tailors in the store worked at the same time and quickly made two sets of clothes for Xu Bo'an.
After putting on new clothes, Xu Boyan suddenly felt refreshed. He looked at the bronze mirror beside him and saw himself in the mirror wearing ancient clothes, and his temperament became different.
Even, it seems that wearing this kind of ancient costume is more handsome than my previous modern clothes. It seems that ancient costume is more suitable for my body shape and temperament!
Some people may not feel that they have any special characteristics when wearing modern clothes, but once they put on ancient clothes, their whole temperament rises. Many celebrities are like this, so it is very important for a person to find the right makeup, wear and even hairstyle.
Xu Boyan even had a narcissistic thought in his heart, wondering if he was more suitable to walk in the world of bonsai.
After coming out of the cloth shop, Xu Boan has changed a lot. From the ragged beggar before, he has become a man from a well-off family wearing new clothes.
Because it is usually impossible to give the best or the worst when giving things to others, so the price of the clothes Xu Boan wears is not high-end, but it is not comparable to the lowest-end coarse cloth clothes. In this country Among the bustling crowd on the market, it was considered mid-level.
Such a person is the main person who buys things on the market, so when passing by many stalls on the market, the vendors will sell to him.
Xu Bo'an wandered around the big market casually, looking left and right curiously, but there was nothing necessary. After all, the most sold items in this kind of market were all kinds of food, clothing, and daily necessities. Xu Bo'an I haven’t planned to live here yet, and these things are not as refined and durable as the things made in the industrial era in the real world. As for those foods like steamed buns, steamed buns, tea eggs, cakes, etc., for an adult like Xu Boan It's not very lethal either.
Just when I was thinking that there would be nothing to do after buying clothes, I simply gathered with Xiong Da and the others early and went to the Dishan Temple in Hongya Village to find Yan Shouyi. Suddenly, there was a faint smell of good smell. The scent reached Xu Bo'an's nose. Xu Bo'an looked forward and found that the smell was coming from a stall selling roast chicken in front.
As soon as Xu Boan walked over, the vendor at the roast chicken stall greeted Xu Boan warmly.
“Sir, please buy a roasted chicken. This is our family’s ancestral craft and it’s delicious.”
As he spoke, the middle-aged vendor roasted a chicken that he had just cooked. He picked up the chicken and showed it to Xu Boan. The roasted chicken was plump and complete, and the aroma was even stronger when it was steaming. It looked mouth-watering.
Seeing this roasted chicken, Xu Boan suddenly thought of Xiong Da and Dachuan who were still waiting for him on the mountain. It didn’t matter whether he ate it or not. He had to bring them something to eat, otherwise he would be left empty-handed. It's not good to go back.
"Store, how much does this chicken cost?" The moment he asked subconsciously, Xu Boyan came back to his senses with a slight thump in his heart.
Oops, I have no money. The clothes on my body were all given by kind-hearted people.
The vendor didn't know Xu Bo'an's psychological activities, so he raised two fingers and smiled and replied: "A roast chicken only costs twenty coins."
Xu Bo'an smiled awkwardly and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't bring any money. Let's talk about it later."
The vendor obviously misunderstood what Xu Bo'an meant, and said hurriedly: "Sir, do you think my roast chicken is expensive? I It’s really not expensive. You get what you pay for. This is a skill passed down from my ancestors, and you will definitely enjoy it.”
Xu Bo’an waved his hand and said, “I don’t mean that. I don’t have any money, your roast chicken must be delicious, I just came here because of the smell.”
The vendor was very happy when he heard Xu Bo’an’s compliment, and immediately said: “Boss, I see.” You are dressed like this and you are from a good family. If you really want to buy our roast chicken, isn't there a pawn shop across the street? You can just put your things in first. The pawn shop here will redeem your mortgage within 3 days. You only need to pay a handling fee of one yuan for the items. I can give you one yuan for the roasted chicken.”
“Pawn shop?” Xu Boan asked curiously.
"That's right, it's right behind you. It's a reputable pawn shop here. We usually exchange mortgages here if we have any inconvenience." The vendor said, reaching behind Xu Bo'an and pointing. .
Xu Boan turned around and saw a plaque with the name "Yi Baozhai" hanging on an ordinary-looking house.
As soon as Xu Bo'an walked into Yibaozhai, a middle-aged man came over and asked with a smile: "Please, guest, do you have any treasures that you need to pawn or redeem?"
"These are the clothes I just made from the cloth shop in front of me. They cost three hundred cents. How much do you think I can get for them?" As he spoke, Xu Boyan raised the cloth bag in his hand. A coarse cloth bag was given to Uncle Xu to put clothes in.
The store owner smiled and said, "Sir, you have to take out the clothes and take a look at them first to find out. For clothes, you not only need to look at the price when you buy them, but you also need to check whether they are easy to sell, whether they have been worn, etc." Please take it out first, let’s check it out first.” A bunch of keys fell to the ground first.
When changing clothes just now, Xu Boan stuffed all the keys and mobile phones that he brought with him when he entered the bonsai world into this clothes bag. Unexpectedly, when he was picking up his clothes now, he accidentally took the bunch of keys with him. came out.
Just as Xu Boan was about to bend down to pick up the key, he saw that the store clerk had taken a step ahead and thoughtfully reached out to help Xu Boan pick up the dropped key, and then handed it to Xu Boan.
"Sir, your things."
"Thank you!" Xu Boan was about to reach out to take his keys, but saw the store took back the bunch of keys.
When Xu Bo'an was confused, he saw the store owner rubbing the bright silver nine-tooth rake-shaped keychain on the key chain, and said with some admiration: "What a unique little piece, I dare to ask Sir, are you willing to transfer this thing?”
The nine-tooth rake keychain is actually a portable bottle opener, which Xu Boan bought to open bottles when he occasionally drinks beer and Dayao. . It seemed that it only cost less than ten yuan at the beginning. Mass-produced things are not valuable and can be bought casually after leaving the bonsai world.
But now I know everything, and the other party is interested in this thing. In this case, don’t blame me for being a profiteer. Besides, this thing is unique in the bonsai time at least.
Xu Boan asked tentatively: "If you really like it, there is no chance of discussion, but I don't know how much money you are prepared to pay?"
The shopkeeper waved his hand, displayed his five fingers straight, and said: "Fifty cents. I only want this rake, and I don't want other things like small swords."
The small sword the shopkeeper talks about is, in fact, a small sword. They were Xu Boan's keys, and they were barely shaped like swords. Xu Bo'an shook his head and said: "Fifty cash is not enough. I just hired a craftsman to make this precious thing, which cost sixty cash. Those materials that can be made into steel are a huge expense. You I’m afraid you don’t know, but this thing is made of steel and is stronger than ordinary swords.”
“What? It’s so strong?” the shopkeeper said in disbelief. .
Xu Bo'an said calmly: "You can try it and you will know!"
The store owner handed the keychain to Xu Bo'an, then turned around and dug out a handful of watermelons from the cabinet at the back. When the knife-style knife came, Xu Boan took off the keychain and handed it to the other party.
I saw the shopkeeper put Xu Boan's small nine-tooth nail rake on the wooden table, raised the kitchen knife to the nail rake and cut it.
After pulling on it several times like a saw, the store owner picked up the kitchen knife and saw that his own kitchen knife was already dull, but the place where the rake was sawed by the knife was even brighter.
The shopkeeper raised the kitchen knife unconvinced and cut it on the top. There was a crisp sound in an instant, and a spark burst out at that moment. When he looked at the kitchen knife again, a small piece of it actually fell off. Block the blade, forming a gap.
"This... is really so strong." The store owner looked at his kitchen knife in surprise.
Xu Boxan secretly smiled inwardly. Steel in modern society is made of high-quality steel. These steels are excellent in terms of hardness, toughness, and wear resistance. However, the smelting technology of steel in the bonsai world is not yet that mature. Here The steel definitely contains more impurities, making it difficult for its hardness and toughness to reach the level of modern steel. So let alone a kitchen knife, even if they use so-called steel knives, they may not be as good as the steel used in this small keychain.
Small keychain?
Thinking of this, Xu Boan suddenly thought of another question.
He suddenly found that the things he brought in became smaller along with him.
Whether it was the clothes I wore before, or the keys and mobile phone I brought over, they all became smaller with me.
I just don’t know if it is possible for me to make these things bigger in the bonsai world. If it is really possible, then my nine-tooth nail rake will become like a Ruyi golden hoop. ?
In other words, you must return to the real world to become bigger. In that case, my dream of Ruyi Golden Cudgel will not come true.
Thinking of this, Xu Boan wanted to try it now, but it was inconvenient in front of outsiders.
Xu Bo'an was thinking about this, and the pawn shop owner couldn't put it down with the keychain of the small nine-tooth nail rake, looking left and right.
“Sir, would you like to give me a price? I don’t know how suitable this thing is.”
Xu Bo'an raised three fingers without thinking and said: "300 yuan, not a single penny less. If it's possible, I'll keep it. If not, I'll just pawn this dress."
Seeing Xu Boan's decisive look, the store owner still did not agree immediately. Instead, he raised a finger and said: "300 yuan is really too much. A kitchen knife as big as mine only cost ten yuan. , your thing is good, but it is really too small, that is, I just like to play with it, and it is really not worth that much. I will give you 100 yuan at most. If you are not willing, then I am sorry. ”
When Xu Boan heard this, he realized that he had taken advantage of the other party. In this kind of one-shot deal, whoever raises the price usually loses, because this is equivalent to revealing the truth, even if the other party does not know it. The price of this thing, I also understand that this thing is worth up to 300 Wen!
For this kind of thing, unless you really don’t plan to sell it, you can get the best price.
Sure enough, ginger is still as spicy as ever, and I am indeed a professional at this. I immediately adjusted my psychological price estimate.
But Xu Boan is not one to fall for this trick. Anyway, he is only temporarily short of money, not really short of money. I will not tolerate this problem of yours.
Xu Bo'an immediately waved his hand and said: "It's boring for you to do this. I think you sincerely gave me the lowest cost price for the price you asked me to offer. But in the end, you just killed me for being so black. , Forget it, I’ll just treat it as this dress, I won’t sell it.”
The store laughed and said, “How about I add another 50 yuan?”
Xu Bo'an shook his head again and said, "No need really. Could you please show me how much my clothes can be used for?"
Seeing that Xu Bo'an didn't seem to be faking it, the shopkeeper sighed honestly. Tone, said: "Okay? 300 is 300. Deal, please wait a moment, I will withdraw the money."
Soon, Xu Bo'an walked out of the pawn shop. A worthless keychain was exchanged for 300 Wen. Xu Bo'an was still very happy. You must know that this roast chicken only costs 20 yuan. It's like using a small keychain worth 10 yuan to exchange for 15 roast chickens. Sure enough, only through trade can you make a fortune!
Seeing Xu Bo'an come out, the roast chicken vendor smiled and waved to Xu Bo'an, greeting: "Boss, how are you?"
Xu Bo'an chuckled and said : "I happened to have some other things on me that I pawned for some money. Come on, boss, here are 300 Wen, bring me 15 roast chickens."
"15? It seems that the guest officer definitely has a big business. ." The vendor's men moved quickly and tied up the roasted chickens one by one.
Xu Bo'an smiled and said nothing. A big family and great business still did not exist, but Xu Bo'an knew that Xiong Da could eat fifteen of these small roast chickens.
The vendor quickly wrapped the roasted chicken, handed it to Xu Boan and said: "Sir, your roasted chicken."
Xu Boan paid the money, then took the roasted chicken to Xiong Yamato pangolin.
Seeing Xu Boan, the two little animals were very happy and hurriedly surrounded him.
Although pangolins like to eat hard things, they are also very interested in these delicacies. A bear and a pangolin hugged these large pieces of roast chicken and ate them.
Xu Boan watched them eating roast chicken with a smile. He was thinking about trying to see if the bunch of keys he brought in could become bigger, when suddenly a feeling of calling came.
Xu Boyan was shocked.
Huh? What's going on? Can I be summoned in the bonsai world?
I just don’t know how to get to my destination this time.
