A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 260

Shen Yunlian: "What bracelet? Did it eat gold? It's so expensive!"

Wang Mei: "Pah! Even eating gold wouldn't cost this much. Jiaojiao, have you been scammed?"

Clearly, the two sisters-in-law were reacting in the same way as the Yun Linhai brothers.

Yun Jiao: "No, it's a very, very beautiful bracelet."

"More beautiful than gemstones."

Merfolk love sparkling gemstones and lustrous pearls, but they don't particularly like gold.

However, Yun Jiao knew that the dragons in her previous world really liked gold.

People also like gold.

But she still preferred the pretty stones.

She really liked that jade bracelet.

Yun Jiao looked longingly at her father, mother, uncle, and aunt.

Those beautiful, slightly round eyes were filled with desire.

Being looked at by her is like being stared at by a super beautiful kitten; who could resist that?

"Go, go, we'll go with you to take a look."

Wang Mei rolled up her sleeves and showed her which heartless swindler was trying to cheat even a four-year-old child!
However, before leaving, we need to deal with that box of gold first.

After discussion, Yunlin Hai and Yunlin He dug a large hole in their backyard, put all the gold into new wooden boxes, and buried it.

"Alright, it's best to avoid touching these things unless absolutely necessary, or you can pass them down to your descendants."

"Big brother, you stay home, the two of us will take Jiaojiao there."

Yunlin River Channel.

His older brother was more honest than him, less cunning, and not very good at arguing.

The eldest sister-in-law has a relatively gentle personality, unlike his wife who is more outspoken.

Dealing with scammers is something that naturally falls to the couple.

Yun Linhai also wanted to go, Shen Yunlian grabbed his hand.

"Then we'll trouble you. We'll wait at home for Xiao Wu and the other kids to come back."

"That's too formal. We treat Jiaojiao like our own daughter."

Yun Linhe rode out on his motorcycle: "Jiaojiao, wife, get on the bike."

Wang Mei first helped Yun Jiao up, and then sat down herself.

Motorcycles are faster than buses, so they arrived in the county in just over twenty minutes.

Yun Jiao: "Let's go find Master first."

Yunlin River Wang Mei naturally had no objections. They had also brought gifts, including two stone clam fish they had caught that day.

"Master~"

Yun Jiao's soft and sweet voice is very distinctive.

Her voice is very clear, and with the softness and sweetness that is unique to children, it is particularly pleasant to hear. So no matter how much she talks, no one will find her noisy; on the contrary, it is an auditory pleasure to listen to her.

"Jiaojiao, why are you here again? And at this time? Have you eaten yet?"

Yun Jiao jogged over.

"I ate. I came to buy things. My uncle and aunt came with me."

The two greeted Old Xu and handed him two fish. "These are rock clams we caught at sea today, they're still fresh."

"You're here, why bring anything? Ever since we took Jiaojiao as our little apprentice, we haven't needed to buy seafood from outside anymore."

Yun Jiao always brings some seafood when she comes here, and so do Yun Linhai and the others. Whether they are picking up or dropping off Yun Jiao or coming to the county for business, they always bring some seafood for the clinic.

And none of the things they bring are cheap.

Yunlinhe: "We are fishermen. We may not have much else, but we can still bring out some things from the sea, and they are not expensive."

After exchanging pleasantries, Yun Linhe explained the purpose of his visit.

Because the amount involved was so large, they even went to a room in the backyard of the clinic to discuss it.

"Mr. Xu, you are very knowledgeable. Please give us your opinion. What kind of bracelet is this that can sell for 100,000 yuan? Has Jiaojiao been scammed?"

Old Xu stroked a small tuft of beard on his chin, then looked down and asked Yun Jiao where she had seen the bracelet and what color it was.

Yun Jiao: "It's in an alley, on the west street. That bracelet is so beautiful, it's like blue and purple, wider than two of my fingers, and it's so clear and bright, like glass..."

Old Xu nodded as he listened to her description.

Under the expectant gazes of Yun Linhe and the other man, Old Xu said.

"If it's true, then the price is probably real."

"What?!"

Yun Linhai and Wang Mei were dumbfounded. There really were bracelets that were more expensive than houses!

Old Xu laughed and said, "You certainly know how to find your way around; you actually ended up in the ghost market."

Yun Linhai was immediately startled. Ghost market? That didn't sound like a good thing.

Fortunately, Old Xu explained in time: "The Ghost Market is also a night market. It's an antique street here. It's hard to tell the real from the fake items. They say that gold is valuable in times of chaos and antiques are valuable in times of prosperity. Now that our country has stabilized and started to develop, these antiques have naturally emerged."

“If the jade that Jiaojiao is talking about is of the glass type and is also an antique, then the price is relatively low. If it had been kept for a longer time, or in the past, it could have sold for a higher price.”

"Throughout history, some rare gemstones and jade have been hard to come by, and high-value gemstones and jade can be worth as much as several houses."

Yun Linhai and Wang Mei were completely dumbfounded.

No, these little gadgets are so expensive?

Old Xu stroked his beard and laughed as he looked at them.

"However, these things are not meant for ordinary people. They are essentially just special stones. It's just that they have been liked and sought after by nobles since ancient times, and they have been given the meaning of symbolizing wealth and power, which is why they are so valuable."

Jade and similar stones are mainly a matter of personal preference. If someone truly likes them and can afford them, they won't mind spending the money. Those without money won't pursue such an expensive hobby.

Wang Mei's gaze fell on Yun Jiao at Yunlin River.

That makes a lot of sense. Jiaojiao's hobby is indeed quite expensive, but Jiaojiao has the ability to make money herself.

Old Xu stood up: "My two apprentices are both at the clinic today, so I'll accompany you to take a look. But I need to find someone to help me take a look. If he says it's worth it, and Jiaojiao wants to buy the bracelet, then let him buy it."

As Yun Jiao's master, he also knew that Yun Jiao was now quite wealthy.

The little fellow came back from the capital and brought him a pound of ambergris, which startled him.

The ambergris was of superior quality; even for him, finding ambergris of such high quality would be extremely difficult.

He was naturally aware of the price of ambergris.

Unexpectedly, my little apprentice's luck is just too good; it's like God is feeding him.

"You don't need to be so pessimistic. Jade and similar items have collectible value, and in peacetime, the more developed the country is, the higher the value of these items becomes."

Jiaojiao liked it, so she bought it. They can sell it later if they don't want it anymore, or if they need money urgently. As long as the quality is good, they won't lose money. Of course, the price of jade isn't as stable as gold.
