Chapter 3: Sky-high price lighters
Chapter 3: Sky-high lighter
Chang'an City.
Yi Fan held the big green cow and watched the people coming and going on the street in confusion.
After entering the city, Yi Fan parted ways with Shen Da. Looking at this international metropolis that had been more than a thousand years ago, Yi Fan felt lonely and confused, and didn't know where to go.
Although the people around him were curious about Yi Fan's weird outfit, they had never seen any kind of weirdo in the world's only international city, and people just stayed on him for a few seconds.
When a person reaches this strange era, he has no relatives. When everything around him is strange, you will instinctively want to escape.
Yi Fan really wants to go back now, and return to the seemingly bustling but very cold and ruthless modern world, because everything there is familiar to him.
Leading the big green cow, walking aimlessly in Chang'an City, a thousand years ago.
As I walked, I came to a shop and stopped.
The store plaque reads a big traditional Chinese word "Dang", which is obviously a pawn shop. Yi Fan found all his belongings, a domestic mobile phone, a lighter that costs one yuan, and no cigarettes anymore. Due to advanced mobile payments, he now doesn't even have a wallet.
As a modern human being, the head can be cut off, blood can flow, and mobile phones cannot be lost. It is definitely not allowed to be used as a lighter that does not have much air.
Tie the cow at the door and enter the shop.
At a high counter in the store, Yi Fan can barely reveal half of his head at his current height. A middle-aged shopkeeper was concentrating on the account book and heard footsteps.
The shopkeeper looked up and saw that it was a young man. However, this super-futuristic outfit surprised him slightly, but as a shopkeeper in Chang'an City, he naturally had seen the world.
The shopkeeper raised his face and asked, "Do you want to pawn items?"
There is not much respect in his tone, but it feels like he is thousands of miles away.
Yi Fan didn't expect that ancient people had no sense of customers at all, and they thought it would be strange if your attitude was good.
Little do they know that this attitude is the experience summarized by the shopkeepers in the past few years. The pawnshop business is different from other trading houses. Those who can come here to act as goods usually use urgent money or some items of incorrect origin.
To put it bluntly, the supply and demand relationship has reversed. Since you are in a hurry to use money and are in a hurry to sell the items in your hands, the pawnshop owner can hold up and lower the price.
Yi Fan didn't care about the shopkeeper's attitude, so he took out the lighter and "bang, bang, bang" three times, and the lighter fired three times.
The shopkeeper's chin was shocked and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"I wonder how much this item can be worth, the shopkeeper?" Yi Fan said with a lighter.
The shopkeeper was shocked when he saw the flames coming out of thin air in Yi Fan's hand. He had only seen this situation when some Taoist masters were doing rituals. He could not have thought that this man had such a Taoist practice at a young age.
The shopkeeper came back to his senses and said, "Little God, I wonder which master's son?"
Yi Fan was shocked. Although he had known that the ancients had believed in ghosts and gods, he did not expect that it would happen to him so soon. It seems that pretending to be a charlatan was also a promising profession in ancient times.
The shopkeeper walked around the counter and came to Yi Fan and bowed: "Little God, do you want to sell this treasure troupe to the small shop? Can you show it to me?"
The shopkeeper carefully took the lighter, looked left and right, and couldn't tell the tenderness, so he felt that this thing was not gold or wood, and was extremely smooth, and it was worthy of being a treasure. With this material and workmanship, it was not something that ordinary people could peek at.
When Yi Fan saw that the shopkeeper was watching it all the time, he didn't mention how much it was given. He impatiently snatched the lighter and "snap" and shot the lighter, and said, "Shopkeeper, how much does this treasure cost?"
The shopkeeper could see clearly how Yi Fan operated and said, "Little God, can you let me try it?"
"Pa" A beam of flames appeared from the shopkeeper's hand, and his excited hands began to tremble, and his old face turned red.
The shopkeeper took a deep breath and calmed down his overly excited mood. At that moment, he thought he had become an immortal, how could a person have a flame out of thin air?
He knew that all the secrets were on this treasure in his hand. As long as this treasure was in his hand, fire could be produced out of thin air. It did not require any practice, so he must get this treasure.
The shopkeeper quickly entered the businessman mode: "Little Langjun, how much do you want to sell?"
Listening to the other party asking him to bid, Yi Fan wanted to roll his eyes and thought to himself: "How do I bid? I don't know anything about your ancient prices."
Then he thought that since the other party thought that this lighter was a treasure, he would just bid on it himself. He couldn't give a bargain price!
"This treasure is considered to be destined to you with the shopkeeper, so just watch it!"
"Little Langjun, how about ten thousand yuan?" The shopkeeper was simply bullying Yi Fan for young people. In his mind, no matter how much money he had, he would have to take this magical artifact. As the saying goes, asking for a price all over the sky, paying the money all over the sky, and waiting for the other party to ask for the price all over the sky.
When Yi Fan heard ten thousand yuan, he opened his eyes slightly, and was obviously a little surprised. He didn't expect that a lighter worth a dollar in modern times would be sold for ten thousand yuan in ancient times.
Although I don’t know what the price in the Tang Dynasty is now, Yi Fan knows that one ounce is a copper plate, ten thousand yuan is 10,000 copper plates, one ounce of RMB is 10,000 yuan, and a lighter is 10,000 times more.
He suppressed the surprise in his heart and said in a plain tone: "Shopkeeper, I want to buy such a treasure for just 10,000 yuan. Do you think it's possible?"
"hehe"
The shopkeeper laughed in his heart. Young people are young people. Although they are a bit scheming, they are obviously not sophisticated enough.
The shopkeeper just now saw Yi Fan's performance and was completely convinced that he would not exceed 100,000 yuan to win this treasure.
The shopkeeper pretended to be aching and gritted his teeth and said, "Since the little husband is not satisfied, I will add another five thousand yuan, what about ten thousand yuan?"
Yi Fan was delighted and the other party added 5,000 yuan at once, which meant that this was far from his psychological price.
"Fifty thousand yuan." Yi Fan reported a number he thought was very high.
The shopkeeper was so happy, but there was no sign of his face. He looked at Yi Fan with resentment and said, "Little Langjun, are you too cruel? How can you bargain for me if you add so much at once? 20,000 yuan, no more."
"Just fifty thousand yuan, this is my lowest price."
No matter what the shopkeeper said, Yi Fan insisted on 50,000 yuan and did not let go. The shopkeeper had no choice but to make a deal, but he was happy.
Yi Fan was also happy. A lighter worth 50,000 yuan was sold for 50,000 yuan, which was more cost-effective than robbery. In modern times, it is best to prepare a QR code first when you robbery, otherwise you may not have a penny on the person you robbed.
After leaving the pawnshop, Daqingniu pulled nearly 400 kilograms of copper coins. If Daqingniu had not followed him, Yi Fan would not be able to take away the 50,000 copper coins.
