Quick Travel: Records of Extraordinary Creatures

Mrs. Huang stayed up for three nights in a row.

I made a new set of clothes for myself and the two children. The children's clothes were made according to their style, while her clothes were cut according to the style of the ancient world. I feel so sorry for her.

Because the clothes of the well-to-do families in ancient times were waste fabrics, with wide sleeves and long skirts, if they were replaced with bunts, at least they could save their granddaughter a set of clothes.

But Mrs. Huang did nothing for the sake of safety.

On the night when the clothes were finished, she wore ancient clothes, brought glass beads and glass mirrors, and went to Qu Jie to inquire. What she found out was not the most honest, but at least she had never been greedy for money and harmed others before, or the shop assistants had fornicated relationships. Hooligan Qingpi knocks people out of Sap's pawnshop.

It is still an excuse that an old man died of a serious illness. Before he died, he took medicine and spent all the savings in the family.

"Look at this glazed mirror, how clearly it can illuminate people, and how beautiful and festive the color is. If it weren't for the lack of money at home, I originally wanted to leave this mirror for my granddaughter as a dowry. Tell me it can be used as a dowry." How much money.

By the way, damn it, if I can redeem it with silver after more than ten years, I guess I will be able to buy another one.

Yes, die, die..."

Mrs. Huang had practiced this passage no less than thirty times at home, so she said it without stage fright at all.

And the pawnshop owner looked at the mirror, both liking and disgusting, his whole face twisted, because it is really rare to see such a clear glazed mirror, no matter where it is placed, it can be sold at a high price, but this color and frame are in the market. He looked really ugly, gaudy.

After struggling for a while, he asked:
"This mirror frame, can it be taken off?"

"Ah? Take..."

As soon as the words came out, how could the old lady Huang not understand that people didn't like the frame of her mirror. Although she didn't understand why ancient people didn't like something Qu Jie didn't like, she still said regretfully:

"It's so beautiful, of course it can be taken off, there is a mechanism at the back, and it can be taken off with a little click.

Let me get it for you..."

Generally speaking, mirrors are relatively easy to break, and plastic frames are not so easy to break, so the frames are actually movable. If the mirror is broken, you can take out the broken lens and go to a supply and marketing agency to buy a lens without a frame.

It is still a complete mirror when it is stuck in.

Can save a lot of money!

If she had known that she didn't like frames here, she didn't buy frames and bought lenses directly. However, although she regretted it in her head, she didn't stop her movements, and took out the glass lenses easily.

And carefully put it on the table.

Afterwards, the pawnshop owner carefully picked up the lens, first took a look at the face, then looked at the back, and offered a price: "A piece of semi-finished glazed lens."

"Damn it, 50 taels of silver."

"Nowadays countries such as Thailand and the West also sell glazed mirrors, but because of the long distance, they are more broken and less complete, so the price is more expensive. Moreover, glazed mirrors are not without defects. Not only are they fragile, It is also worthless, unlike a bronze mirror, no matter how damaged it is, it will not affect the value of its own copper.

Therefore, the price I gave is already good.

You think about it carefully. "

The former is the quotation, and the latter is mainly worried that Mrs. Huang thinks her quotation is too low, so I will explain it properly. Now the brand-new glazed mirror of the same size on the market only sells for 200 taels, but Mrs. Huang is not selling glazed mirrors. The glass mirror is second-hand, and there is no frame, so the price is very reasonable.

The pawn shop is like this. The ones who get half of the original price are good people.

No matter how good the clothes are at the pawnshop, they are all a tattered cotton jacket. Even the best gold jewelry is at the pawnshop, it is a few taels of depreciated gold, and the price of craftsmanship is directly wiped out by % or %. So a little bit, after all, if it is really the same price as gold.

That family might as well use it directly as gold.

Mrs. Huang is actually very satisfied with the price. You know, 50 taels of silver, converted into silver dollars, is nearly silver dollars. She only spent three dollars for this mirror, but because Qu Jie specially reminded her To pass her, so that she can't be too straightforward, so I still pretended to be difficult and had a rough time with the pawnshop owner for a while.

Finally, grind from 50 taels to 55 taels.

Only then did the contract be signed and the handover was carried out.

Afterwards, glass beads were sold. The price of glass beads was relatively stable, one tael of silver each. The 20 glass beads that Mrs. Huang bought for one dollar sold for taels.

After selling things this time, Mrs. Huang didn't go back immediately, but took Huang Xiaoxiao and Huang Ping'an to go shopping. Since they were born, they had never visited a real market that could be traded at will in the past. , Even the supply and marketing cooperatives have not been there a few times.

But now that Mrs. Huang has money in her hands, she also has confidence. She is not afraid that they will see some favorite little things that they can’t afford. supplies.

So then they are a family of three.

It is natural to start shopping on the street.

And when she sees this, she wants to buy it, and when she sees that, she also wants to buy it, and she holds more than seventy taels, plus the original silver dollars, and has a huge sum of nearly 80 taels of silver. Money, pork and mutton are only a dozen yuan a catty. When you buy unlimited quantities, you really feel cheap, and you really can't control it.

I can't control my desire to stock up.

After a while, the two children's hands were full of snacks, and the bamboo basket carried by Mrs. Huang was also full of pork and mutton, fresh fish and shrimp. A piece of fish or shrimp is worth ten cents a box, as if they don’t need money.

A tael of silver is worth a thousand cash!
Then a lot of things to buy.

Not even a tael of silver was spent.

In the end, it was Qu Jie who reminded Mrs. Huang that her storage capacity is limited, so she can keep it for two or three days at most. You can come here at any time, and you can buy chicken, duck, fish, etc. at any time.

No need to hoard so much.

Only then did Mrs. Huang calm down a little, and hurried back with the things she bought, and then continued to ask Qu Jie to create a small moon with a holographic projection, and stayed up all night to tidy up.

Of course, the main thing to deal with is pork, fish and shrimp, and the easiest way to deal with it is nothing more than pickling it with salt. Fortunately, Mrs. Huang bought a lot of salt a few days ago, so of course she will continue to stay up late With cured meat, pickled fish, and make shrimp paste and so on.

In order to prevent the smell from being smelled by the neighbors, Mrs. Huang even figured out a new way to use the storage space.

That is to let Qu Jie collect some air into the space, control the air in a certain area, and then take her in, so that when she works inside, the outside will be tasteless. The only problem is that Qu Jie needs to pay attention to it all the time. Inside the case, increase the air content.

She would suffocate any time she relaxed.
