Su Liuye held Pearl's hand for a moment and turned her head in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"This pearl can't be sold!" Chu Yan stood up, frowned and pushed her hand back, "You found this pearl, you keep it to make jewelry."
As he said that, the man glanced at her lightly and said, "The family is not so poor that we can't open the pot, and we don't need you to sell things to make ends meet!"
Su Liuye was stunned again, a little dumbfounded, "I live in a village, what do I do with such valuable pearls? I might as well resell them to give the children more food to eat..."
I don't know if that sentence was wrong, but as soon as Su Liuye finished speaking, the man's eyebrows darkened instantly.
"Su Liuye, are you so aggrieved by following me? You even need to take care of your own stuttering?"
"No..." Su Liuye replied quickly, and then noticed that the man was not in the right mood, and became more helpless, "I really don't need these..."
“If you don’t need it, keep it until you need it later!”
Shopkeeper Liu interrupted at this moment, "Wait a minute! If you give me these pearls, little lady, I'm willing to pay a hundred taels!"
As soon as these words came out, Su Liuye's eyes suddenly lit up!
One hundred taels of silver!
You know, the ten taels of silver that were included in her betrothal gift at that time, I am afraid that no other farmer in the entire Qingzhou County could easily come up with such a large amount of money!
Now if this handful of pearls were exchanged for this hundred taels of silver, their family would have no worries about food and drink for the next few decades!
Su Liuye almost immediately wanted to hand the pearl to the boss, but looking at Chu Yan's expression, she thought about it and whispered something into the man's ear.
Chu Yan's expression changed, and after taking a deep look at her, he stood aside in silence.
Shopkeeper Liu had been staring at her with bright eyes for a long time. When he saw Chu Yan retreating, he immediately came up to her.
"Little lady, do you want to sell these pearls or not?"
"Sell!"
Su Liuye agreed quickly and put the pearl on the counter.
Shopkeeper Liu hurriedly took it.
When he just took out the pearls, he could see them from a table away. Each of these pearls was shining brightly, big and round!
If this bead wasn't much bigger than Dong Bead, he would have thought that this was someone's heirloom!
After taking the handful of pearls and taking a closer look, Shopkeeper Liu gasped again.
High-quality natural pearls are rare, but what’s even more rare is that they are almost exactly the same size!
This means that this string of beads does not even require any additional processing and polishing, and can be directly made into a finished product!
For a moment, shopkeeper Liu's hands were shaking with excitement, "My dear lady, may I ask, where do you get these pearls from?"
"This... I fell into the mud that day and accidentally brought out two river clams. When they opened, they revealed these pearls!"
"What, just a few river clams can produce more than a dozen pearls?"
Shopkeeper Liu's eyes widened in shock, and then he sighed.
Not to mention that river mussels are inherently difficult to obtain beads of better quality. The chance of a river mussel having more than two pearls is really very small.
After thinking about it, he could only smile bitterly and attribute the credit for this matter to Su Liuye's good luck!
Shopkeeper Liu sighed and waved outside, "Come here! Go get a hundred taels of silver notes for this little lady!"
"Wait!" Su Liuye suddenly stood up and took out the piece of yellow barberry wood.
This time, Chu Yan just frowned and looked away.
After all, it is a big shop. The boss only took one look and saw the source of the wood, "Yellow barberry wood? Okay, okay, such a big piece can be carved into a bracelet and two brands!"
Shopkeeper Liu took the wood and looked through it with joy. After a while, he looked at Su Liuye again.
"Little lady, what price do you want for this piece of wood?"
Su Liuye smiled slightly, "The shopkeeper is an expert, how can I dare to show my shame in front of you?"
"this……"
Su Liuye's expression was calm, which made the shopkeeper confused.
After a moment of silence, the shopkeeper tentatively asked, "How about fifty taels for this piece of wood?"
"In other words, my handful of pearls plus this piece of wood make a total of one hundred and fifty taels?"
"If the young lady is not satisfied..." Shopkeeper Liu gritted his teeth and looked a little hurt, "I will give you another ten taels! A total of one hundred and sixty taels!"
"One hundred and eighty." Su Liuye spit out the number calmly.
Shopkeeper Liu's expression changed and he remained silent, not knowing what to say.
Su Liuye didn't mind either, so she simply stood up and watched leisurely.
This place should be a room dedicated to receiving distinguished guests, and there are a lot of jewelry placed next to it.
Originally, Su Liuye just took a look.
But at this moment, Chu Yan suddenly came over and reached out to pinch a hairpin on the counter.
"This hairpin suits you very well." Su Liuye turned to look.
What the man held in his hand was an extremely simple pure gold hairpin.
Ingeniously, the whole body of this hairpin is designed to look like a willow branch, and the end is carved out of jade to look like a leaf, which is green and elegant.
Even Su Liuye suspected that this hairpin was tailor-made for her!
She opened her eyes in surprise, took the hairpin and looked at it carefully.
Looking at it, she casually picked up a piece of red rope from the side. After twirling with her fingers for a while, she made a delicate and small loop and gently fastened it on the top of the willow leaf.
As a result, a touch of color suddenly appeared on the originally light pillar.
When shopkeeper Liu turned around again, he happened to see the whole process of Su Liuye changing the hairpin, and his eyes suddenly widened.
He walked a few steps towards the counter, looked at the hairpin in Su Liuye's hand carefully, and suddenly spoke again after a moment.
"My dear lady, I am willing to give you the one hundred and eighty taels of silver you asked for just now, but I have something to ask for. I wonder if my dear lady has time to listen?"
Su Liuye turned around and said, "If you have anything to say, the shopkeeper, just tell me."
"Little madam, I can give you this hairpin for free, but I don't know if the little madam's method of tying knots can be sold to our store?"
While speaking, Shopkeeper Liu was still staring at the hairpin.
Su Liuye then remembered that when she had her bandages just now, she used modern techniques.
In this era, it should be a novel and complicated method.
However, Su Liuye was still a little surprised that he could give her a gold hairpin for free for such a trick.
After coming back to her senses, she agreed happily.
"You said this trick! Of course you can!"
The shopkeeper brought a pen and paper, but did not hand it to her directly, "What other tricks can you use, little lady? If it is convenient, I would like to ask for two more tricks."
"Of course, I won't ask you for nothing. I'll give you five taels of silver for each trick!"
