Chapter 5 Selling jade pendants

Lao Li quickly wrote a triplicate letter, Ye Jinkui and Liu Feng respectively pressed handprints on the letters, and then Lao Li also left names on the letters.

He gave the letter to Ye Jinkui and Liu Feng each. Ye Jinkui collected the letter to him and thanked Lao Li correctly. Then he took his wife and children back to the cave.

"Dad, mom, this jade pendant should be used for silver?"

Li and Ye Jinkui:...

Li: "No, this jade pendant was prepared by my mother for your future husband."

Ye Anlan: "But I think it is unlucky. I don't want to use it as a token of confidants anymore."

Li and Ye Jinkui:...

The two looked at each other, and after a while, Li said tentatively: "Then, then, then I will buy you a better one in the future?"

"Yes." Ye Anlan smiled and nodded, "Then I'll use this for silver."

Li:... "But this is what your mother left to you."

"Isn't the piece on my neck also left to me by my mother? It's enough for me to have that."

Li was confused for a while and told the truth, "But this was given to your mother by your father."

Although the jade quality is a little worse, it is the first thing Ye Anlan’s father gave her mother, and Li thinks it is very memorable.

However, after hearing Li's words, Ye Anlan immediately looked disgusted, "It turned out that it was given by that scumbag, no wonder it was so unlucky!"

Li and Ye Jinkui:???

Ye Anlan was now out of his mind to take the jade pendant over and play with it. She said to Ye Jinkui: "Dad, this unlucky thing cannot be kept in our house. Tomorrow you go to the county and sell it to a silver house or a pawnshop."

Li and Ye Jinkui:...Is this really the little lady they watched grow up?

Ye Anlan thought they were unwilling.

"Dad, mom, that man was not at all kind-hearted when he married my mother. Are you afraid of bad luck when you keep the things he gave me?"

"Besides, he is my mother-killing enemy. Is it better than you?"

"I understand very well what you have treated me over the years. Instead of keeping a piece of broken jade pendant that the man threw to my mother, I want to see my younger brothers and sisters have enough food and clothing, and see our family live in a warm and sturdy big house."

Ye Jinkui and Li's eyes turned red when she said it. Ye Jinkui gritted his teeth, "Then I will go to the county town to sell jade pendants tomorrow."

"I'll be with you." Ye Anlan said in a heartfelt thought that if you only let you go, you will definitely not be able to buy much.

Ye Jinkui hesitated for a moment, "Success, my father also wants the old doctor from Jishitang in the county to take your pulse."

***

After paying two copper coins for each person to enter the city, Ye Jinkui took Ye Anlan straight to the old-fashioned clinic called Jishitang in the county.

There were many patients in the clinic. In order not to delay the journey, Ye Jinkui sent Ye Anlan to the clinic and entrusted it to the little medicine boy to take care of it. He drove the borrowed donkey cart to sell the pheasant, hare and half-big wild boar he hunted yesterday.

After he left, Ye Anlan lined up for about two quarters of an hour, and all the patients in front of her were finally finished.

"Have you had a cold before?" The gray-bearded doctor finished his pulse and touched his beard and asked Ye Anlan.

Ye Anlan nodded.

The old doctor picked up the brush and wrote her a prescription for recuperation. "The body has recovered almost. If you are worried, you can also grab two pairs of soups to nourish your body."

He said this, and Ye Anlan immediately decided not to take medicine.

She still likes to nourish her body. She can make money by drinking less bitter medicine soup.

"By the way, old man, are you collecting medicinal materials here?" Ye Anlan picked up the small backpack placed at his feet, "This was what I dug up the mountain yesterday."

The old doctor reached in and gently flipped through the medicinal materials, "Do you understand medical principles?"

Ye Anlan said modestly: "I understand a little bit." The main reason is that if she knows too much, she can't explain to Ye Jinkui and Li.

"The medicinal materials are good." The old doctor waved to his little apprentice and asked him to sort the medicinal materials into categories and carry out preliminary preparation. He took the abacus and tweeted it for a while, "Is it okay to give you one hundred and twenty cents?"

It was a conscientious price, Ye Anlan nodded, "Thank you."

After pausing, she said again: "Old man, do you know which silver house in the county is more generous in buying **? I want to sell something."

The old doctor thought for a moment, "The owner of Fang Family Yinlou is a real person."

Ye Anlan thanked the old doctor, got up and followed the little medicine boy to settle the medical treatment.

After waiting in the clinic for almost an hour, Ye Anlan finally waited for Ye Jinkui back.

The father and daughter thanked the little medicine boy, and then went to Fangjia Yinlou together.

Fangjia Yinlou is only about half a quarter of an hour away from the clinic, and it is the smallest silverlou in the county.

This silver house mainly deals with the business of ordinary wealthy households. The jewelry and accessories they sell are all in ordinary styles. Although they are not outstanding, they will never make mistakes.

In addition, the same style, weight, quality jewelry and accessories, Fangjia Yinlou has always been the cheapest, so many people in the county like to go to their house to buy jewelry and accessories.

The owner and shopkeeper of Fangjia Yinlou is indeed a relatively real businessman as the old doctor said.

After Ye Jinkui told him about his purpose, he estimated the price of the jade pendant that Ye Jinkui took out. "To be honest, if you only talk about the quality and carving, it should not be a problem to sell your jade pendant. But my family is doing a small business, and I can't afford that much money to buy your jade pendant."

Of course, even if there is one, the landlord doesn’t plan to take out so much money to collect a jade pendant. His house is doing business for ordinary people. Who is the ordinary people willing to spend more than one hundred taels to buy a jade pendant?

"Eighty taels." Ye Jinkui was still wondering if he wanted to change to a silver building. Ye Anlan had already taken the initiative to reduce the price of the jade pendant, "The eighty taels of jade pendant belong to you."

Ye Jinkui felt his heart was bleeding, and he looked at Ye Anlan, "Yuan Niang?"

Ye Anlan looked at him and said, "Dad, I'll explain to you later."

Ye Jinkui stopped talking at once.

Ye Anlan tapped the counter with his index finger, "What do you think about the landlord?"

The landlord weighed the deal and "deal."

Ye Anlan's lips curled slightly, "Please change the twenty taels of them into half of the copper plate and half of the broken silver."

"Yuan Niang, do you want so much copper plates and silver to buy something?" After coming out of the Silver Building, Ye Jinkui whispered to Ye Anlan sitting in the car while rushing the car.

"Yes." Ye Anlan counted Ye Jinkui on his fingers, "I want to buy some cloth, cotton, grain, iron, and other condiments such as salt, sugar, vinegar, soy sauce. If there are suitable books, I also want to buy some books back."
