Li Yuezhu didn't expect these pearls to be so valuable. She now has eight pearls in her hand. If she sells all eight pearls, it will be 4,000 taels of silver.

It can be roughly deduced based on the chat content between Li Yuezhu and Uncle Tiezhu just now.

One kilo of rice costs less than one tael of silver, and one kilo of rice weighs about 100 kilograms. In modern times, one kilogram of rice costs about two yuan, so one tael of silver costs about 200 yuan.

One tael of silver is a common currency, and a common currency is 1,000 penny. It can be roughly calculated that one penny is equal to two cents.

So these 4,000 taels of silver are equivalent to 800,000 yuan. For Li Yuezhu, who comes from a poor family, it is simply an astronomical figure.

"Young Master, we have already given you a very realistic price. You don't have to bargain with me. Although I say these are fine pearls, I can't sell them for a higher price. You see..."

In fact, Li Yuezhu was very satisfied with the price. What she was thinking about now was whether she could sell the glass bead she bought.

"Young master, I will sell it if I tell you to. Boss, don't worry about this."

Just now, Li Yuezhu only took out three pearls from his arms. Tao Dashui saw that Li Yuezhu touched his arms again and took out five more pearls of the same quality. This time, his eyes widened. He got rich, got rich, this time.

Can make a fortune.

"There are eight pearls here in total. I sold seven of them and kept the remaining one to make a hairpin for my mother."

As she spoke, Li Yuezhu looked at the styles of hairpins in the store. She had long since fallen in love with the style of a hairpin. It was a hairpin made of jade. It looked simple and elegant, and was perfect for her mother.

"Young master, you can choose whatever you like. I will give you the one you like."

Tao Dashui looked happy. Although the young master only sold seven pearls, he could honor the one above him by getting these seven pearls.

Li Yuezhu pondered for a moment, then took out the glass bead from his arms.

"It's my mother's birthday in two days. Money is a little tight recently. The boss wants to see how much this thing can sell for."

Li Yuezhu slammed the glass bead on the table without fear of breaking it.

Boss Tao happily looked at the table and his eyes widened instantly. It was a crystal clear, pearly, red round bead.

Tao Dashui immediately picked up the bead and walked to the door of the store. He secretly covered the bead with his sleeve and looked at the sun carefully.

This bead is extremely clear. The most rare thing is that there are no impurities in it and it is a bright red color. I don’t know which master carved this bead so roundly that there is no trace of carving on the table.

"The miracle is simply a miracle. Young Master, what kind of material are these beads of yours made of?"

Li Yuezhu looked at Boss Tao who was blushing, his hands were shaking with excitement, and he knew that this would not be cheap without beads.

"This bead is crystal. Have you seen its color and craftsmanship? This is not an ordinary bead. If I hadn't been tight, I wouldn't have sold it."

"Hey, hey, what you said is right. If you sell a perfect bead like this, I won't give it back to you."

"It's natural. I'm very trustworthy. How about it? How much money does the boss plan to give me?"

Tao Dashui pondered for a moment. He frowned and looked at the bead in his hand carefully. Although the bead was a good bead and could easily be sold for tens of thousands of taels of silver, he did not want to give this young master so much money.

.

"Boss, have you thought about it? I originally planned to sell this bead to a pawn shop. If you don't buy it, I will take it away."

What Li Yuezhu said was true. She originally just wanted to try her luck at this jewelry shop. Being able to sell it here would naturally be much better than selling it to a pawn shop.

"Buy, buy, buy, I didn't say not to buy. Don't be anxious, young master. Let me add up the total first."

Li Yuezhu was not in a hurry. The sun was already in the sky. It seemed that it was already noon, and her stomach was almost hungry.

Seeing some desserts placed on the table in the hall, Li Yuezhu sat down unceremoniously and started to eat.

Just when Li Yuezhu finished chewing the last piece of pastry, Na Tao Dashui finally finished the calculation.

"Young Master, although this bead is of extremely high quality in terms of quality and workmanship, our store cannot give you a high price, so we can only give you this number." Tao Dashui said, making a five sign.

.He then said: "Five thousand taels!"

Li Yuezhu actually had no idea about the value of this bead, but she was very satisfied with the price given by the boss.

"Boss, isn't this price a bit..."

Li Yuezhu said in a long voice to the boss that she knew that the boss must have lowered the price.

"Young Master, it's too low. I really can't adjust it for you here."

"Since it's so difficult, then I'll sell it to another shop." Li Yuezhu said as he put away the glass bead, wrapped it in his arms along with the eight pearls, and made a show of walking out.

"Hey, hey, little master, little master, please slow down, wait a moment, wait a moment, we have something to discuss, easy to discuss..."

Tao Dashui saw that the young man took the jewelry on the table and walked out without hesitation. He was a little anxious. He couldn't just watch the duck fly away like that.

"Five thousand five, five thousand five, five thousand five can't be more." Tao Dashui pulled Li Yuezhu desperately and said.

Li Yuezhu looked back at Tao Dashui and let go when he saw the sincere look on his face.

"Five thousand six, if you can buy it, buy it. If you don't, I'll leave."

"Sure come true, five thousand six is ​​five thousand six." Tao Dashui gritted his teeth, "But we have made an agreement and we are done with it. There is no turning back."

"I've told you eight hundred times, do you think I'm lacking such a gem or something?"

Tao Dashui broke into a cold sweat when Li Yuezhu asked, "How could it be possible? How could someone as precious as you lack such a pearl?"

"Okay, pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."

Li Yuezhu used the remaining pearl to make a hairpin for his mother. In order to thank Li Yuezhu, the boss made the hairpin for Li Yuezhu for free. After agreeing on a time with the boss, Li Yuezhu walked out of the jewelry shop happily.

Li Yuezhu held 9,000 taels of silver notes and 100 taels of broken silver in her hands. She was now a person with a huge fortune.

Who would have thought that the beads worth 9,100 taels were just exchanged for a defective handkerchief.

After Li Yuezhu left the jewelry shop, she walked around several nearby streets. She went to the alley and changed into women's clothes. She was mainly afraid of being followed.

After walking around a few times, Li Yuezhu came to a wonton stall and sat down.

"Auntie, bring me a bowl of wontons."

"okay."
