Before leaving, Xiao Yingchun had already checked the silver. The silver ingots all had seals on them.
There were three types of copper coins, and she took one of each.
She only took a small piece of broken silver. She
quickly packed up the items, carefully hid the rest, and set off.
The pawnshop owner, Dai Hengxin, was immediately excited when he saw Xiao Yingchun. He hurriedly stood up to greet her, "Miss, you're here? Please sit down!"
His attitude was completely different from the beginning.
"Xiaomei, please bring the tea!"
Xiao Yingchun waved her hand and directly opened the cloth bag to take out the silver ingots. "No more nonsense, please take a look at these."
Seeing her throw them away, Dai Hengxin reminded her with some concern: "Be gentle..."
Xiao Yingchun: ...
After the boss carefully checked, he said excitedly, "These two silver ingots are both ten taels silver ingots, and the quality is also good. I'll sell them for ten thousand each, is that okay?"
Xiao Yingchun took the silver ingots back and threw out three copper coins, "Please show me these three copper coins again."
The boss couldn't help but frowned at the copper coins.
He has seen a lot over the years, but he has never seen the patterns of these three copper coins.
But the surface of these three copper coins is shiny, as if they have been played with frequently, and they don't look fake.
Could it be from a short-lived dynasty that has no copper coins handed down from generation to generation?
Scarcity makes things valuable. If these copper coins are real...
Dai Hengxin's heart warmed, but he did not show any sign on his face. He asked casually, "Miss, do you still have this kind of copper coins at home?"
Xiao Yingchun was not stupid either: "Don't ask, I can get it, you can just look at it with peace of mind. If it suits you, I will give it to you. If not, I will take it back."
In short, I can't tell you that it was given by a ghost.
Dai Hengxin: "..."
The little girl is quite straightforward.
After looking carefully again and again, Dai Hengxin still couldn't make up his mind, so he simply spoke frankly.
"Miss, I'm not sure about this. How about this? I'll take these two silver ingots, and these three copper coins..."
"I'll take a picture and show it to my teacher. I'll write you back if I have any news?"
"Your teacher?"
Dai Hengxin gave a wry smile. "I graduated with a degree in cultural relics appraisal."
Xiao Yingchun, upon hearing this, showed a hint of sympathy. "Okay." It 's
so hard for college graduates to find jobs!
Was he forced to open a pawnshop because he couldn't find a suitable job?
Something seemed off, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
She watched Dai Hengxin snapping countless high-definition pictures with her phone.
Then, reluctantly, she returned the copper coins to Xiao Yingchun.
The next moment, Xiao Yingchun pulled out a small piece of silver.
Before she could say anything, Dai Hengxin took it, weighed it in his hand, and nodded confidently. "This is silver."
Reassured, Xiao Yingchun collected the small piece of silver and the copper coins, pawned the silver ingot, and left the pawnshop with 20,000 yuan.
On the way home, Xiao Yingchun couldn't help but think, judging by this situation, that ghost general will come back to trade again.
A few more times, and her KPI for the year will be achieved. Why would she even need to look for a job?
She wouldn't need to work at all. Passing by a shop selling safes, she walked in and bought one. In just ten minutes, two thousand yuan was gone.
With antiques often found in the house these days, a safe was essential! The landlady said it would be delivered after dinner, but Xiao Yingchun remembered she hadn't eaten either...
She bought some food and took it home when she saw the safe had been delivered.
After eating and drinking, she stuffed all the items she'd found today into the safe.
Then she started calculating the inventory and purchasing goods.
The Ghost General's sales revenue for the day was 26,000 yuan, and including the gifts, the total cost was 3,700 yuan.
A net profit of 22,300 yuan!
And that didn't even include the small change and copper coins left.
Huge profits!
What's a ghost in front of the RMB?
Just make money!
Tomorrow she'll need to buy more compressed biscuits and install an air conditioner, otherwise it'll be scorching hot this summer.
Oh, and replace the door too.
She might as well just renovate it; it wouldn't cost much.
But then she thought better of it. What if the Ghost General didn't recognize her house?
She wasn't going to cut off her own financial resources. She'd
better just install the air conditioner.
Xiao Yingchun thought about it and fell asleep, a smile on her face.
But Fu Chenan was in an uproar.
The biscuits and water they bought back were inspected as usual and found to be non-toxic and harmless, with no issues whatsoever.
But everyone was very curious about Xiao Yingchun's shop.
It seemed that only Fu Chenan could see that shop, enter it to buy and sell goods, and the proprietress was a young woman with delicate features and cool clothes.
All others saw was the doorway, which was filled with ruins.
It couldn't be an illusion, but with so many things piled up here, it was as if it were real.
As everyone was wondering, someone had a wild idea: "Could it be a mirage?"
Someone else immediately questioned: "Have you ever seen a mirage?"
"But this legend has always been around. Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
This was the truth.
Fu Zhonghai had a very practical idea: "Tomorrow, take more people with you and buy as much food and water as possible. Then see what else she has and buy more. Ask her how long the shop can stay open..."
In short, he just wanted to get some details.
Fu Chenan agreed and began to prepare.
Fu Zhonghai looked at the deputy general next to him and said, "If you can really bring back a lot of food and water tomorrow, we will prepare to attack the city!"
"Yes!"
Everyone was overjoyed and busy themselves.
...
The next day, Xiao Yingchun got up early and went downstairs to pick up the goods.
The delivery boss had been cooperating for many years. When he saw Xiao Yingchun, he asked, "Sister, why do you need so many compressed biscuits? Do you have any big customers?"
Xiao Yingchun answered without hesitation, "Of course! We received a big order for survival in the wild, and everyone carried some compressed biscuits and mineral water."
"No wonder..."
The reasonable reason dispelled the other party's doubts, and he quickly unloaded the things.
After unloading the things, Xiao Yingchun breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally ready."
