Mountain People

As soon as these words came out, Gu Shuixiu was unhappy, and immediately lowered her face, "Since the shopkeeper doesn't want to do our business, let's just say it, we don't have to sell it to your family."

Seeing that Gu Shuixiu was about to go out, Erniang Min hurriedly stopped her, if Gu Shuixiu and the others really had coral trees, she couldn't push the two gods of wealth out, "Oh, I just said that casually, sister. Why can't you hold your breath so hard? Let's talk about it carefully, elder sister has no other intentions, come here, Sunja, show this younger sister and this elder brother some tea."

Gu Shuixiu also felt a little confident when she saw Erniang Min's arrogant manners. At first glance, Erniang Min was not an ordinary person. As soon as she heard the coral tree, she was so enthusiastic about them. She must take good care of them. Kill her. However, this woman's face is really not thick, no wonder she can manage such an antique shop.

After the three of them were seated, Erniang Min smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, we are in the antique business, and people often come here with things of unknown origin. Of course, it doesn't mean that we are more just. , it’s just that it’s important to receive these things. You may not know that since the Liang Dynasty did not let merchants go to sea, we have never received treasures like coral trees. We know where those things are, so That's why I said such a word, but I didn't expect it to make my sister unhappy."

Dong Chenghu knows the value of this coral tree even if he doesn't know it. Besides, their tree is so big, how much is it worth?

Dong Chenghu calculated in his heart, and then simply gave up. It was not something he could imagine.

, but the ground movement just happened a while ago, you must have experienced it too?"

Min Erniang did not know why Gu Shuixiu mentioned the movement. At that time, the sea water rushed directly into Linhai County, and every household suffered casualties. Fortunately, most houses in Linhai County were built of stone or masonry, which prevented the The collapse of the house crushed more people, but because of the ferocity of the sea water, many people were still washed away, some were rescued, and some went missing or died. It was as if the sky had fallen.

Seeing Erniang Min's face listening earnestly, Gu Shuixiu continued calmly, "We have also asked the elders, this time the ground movement is very strange. Ten years ago, the movement was even worse."

Erniang Min agreed with the location, "What does this have to do with the coral tree? Could it be..." Could it really be what she thought? That couple is so lucky!

In Erniang Min's surprised expression, Gu Shuixiu chuckled lightly: "Our house is just close to Linhai. After the incident, we went to the beach to check the situation, and we happened to find this coral tree, so the shopkeeper's Don't worry about where the coral tree came from, because there are many deep-sea fish washed ashore along with the coral tree, I think I've said it clearly enough."

"Clear, clear..." Erniang Min completely believed Gu Shuixiu's statement. In her opinion, the couple didn't want to be cunning, and when she spoke just now, Gu Shuixiu looked sincere and reasonable. According to her, she really has nothing to doubt, and even if she does have doubts when she moves out of Gu Shuixiu's rhetoric, outsiders won't be able to say anything.

Seeing Min Erniang's anxious look, Gu Shuixiu asked Dong Chenghu to bring the donkey cart to the backyard of the antique store. Min Erniang and Shunzi watched Dong Chenghu drive in the donkey cart together, presumably the thing was on the donkey cart .

Wait for Dong Chenghu to remove all the straws on the donkey cart, revealing the bright red coral inside, and it is as tall as a small tree, this is the largest red coral Min Erniang has seen so far. Now, she completely believed Gu Shuixiu's words, how much turmoil would be caused if this thing was released!

Min Erniang always knew how much benefit this red coral could bring her.

Seeing Erniang Min's excited look, Gu Shuixiu and Dong Chenghu looked at each other, and the meaning in their eyes was self-evident.

"Is the shopkeeper satisfied with this red coral?"

"Satisfied and satisfied, of course satisfied! I will not hide from you, this coral is one of the seven treasures of Buddhism. Many red corals were snapped up by Buddhism as soon as they appeared. It is placed in the palace of relatives and nobles, even in the palace, it is difficult to see a red coral now, I told you so much to show my attitude, how much you want to sell, I will buy it as long as it is reasonable."

Min Erniang's eyes flashed with determination.

Gu Shui smiled, "The shopkeeper is well-informed, so he naturally knows the price of this red coral, and we are not the kind of people who set the price on the ground, but we really have no place for the price of red coral. Just asking, being able to sell this red coral in your store also means we can trust you, why don't the shopkeeper ask for a price?"

Although Gu Shuixiu said that, she had already made up her mind that if it was less than five thousand taels of silver, she would definitely not sell it.

Min Erniang looked surprised, she didn't expect Gu Shuixiu to say such a thing, asking her to ask how she would open it? If it is too high, it will not work. If it is too low, if they are found out by their husband and wife, it will affect their reputation. More importantly, Liang Chao has not seen Red Coral for a long time, and she does not know if she asks her for an offer now. What price should be given.

Looking at Erniang Min's embarrassed look, the couple were not in a hurry. Although Erniang Min was shrewd, when she saw the red coral, she only had admiration and no greed in her eyes. Do things that upset your conscience.

"Well, how about I give you 8,000 taels? I won't hide from you, if this tree is put up for auction, or taken to Jiankang for sale, it will definitely be worth tens of thousands or even ten taels Tens of thousands of taels, but now the world is not peaceful, the manpower and material resources spent to transport such a tree to Jiankang are not ordinary, plus there is no certain backstage, even if you go to Jiankang Bao, you may be robbed directly, or even Even if you can't get 8,000 taels, what I'm giving you is the purchase price, which is extremely fair."

Min Erniang didn't want to come up with such a high price, but she didn't want to miss this red coral, and she also wanted to form a good relationship, so she set the price at 8,000 taels.

The price was beyond the estimates of Gu Shuixiu and his wife, so the two of them had no objection and immediately sold the red coral.

The 8,000 taels of silver are still 7,500 taels of silver, and the other 500 taels are exchanged for broken silver. The two of them have to go shopping on the street. Then go and exchange the silver note for silver and hide it in Cuizhu Mountain, so that you can feel at ease.
