Chapter 003

"Too careless!"

Arriving at the time and space of the late Ming Dynasty, Cheng Shijie was not happy, but rather slightly unhappy because he was not prepared.

This was an uncontrollable time travel. This time he came here without bringing anything that could be easily converted into cash, and he didn't even buy a dagger.

In the late Ming Dynasty, this was not the future, but a troubled world in which human life was as cheap as a piece of grass.

Although he also understands part of history and knows the general historical events of the late Ming Dynasty, the problem is that fifteen years after graduation, his little historical knowledge has long been returned to the teacher.

Cheng Shijie regretted a little. If he had known it, he would have checked Baidu to find out what major events happened in the four years of Chongzhen. He vaguely remembered that there was a very famous rebellion that happened in Dengzhou.

Cheng Shijie vaguely remembered that the Dongjiang Army had reduced Dengzhou City and Shandong to ashes, causing countless casualties...

Cheng Shijie had no memory of the specific time.

"Crack!"

Cheng Shijie slapped his head and forced himself to calm down quickly.

As a member of the time-traveling army, what should you do now?

Although Cheng Shiying is not a weak scholar with no physical strength, if it was ten years ago, his physical fitness was pretty good, because at that time, he graduated from a metallurgical engineering college and was working in the front line as the fifth branch of Hansteel Group.

As a technician, I can carry an oxygen tank weighing more than 80 kilograms and walk away, climbing up and down without any problems.

But the problem is, he has been working in the agency for more than eight years. He has gained more than 100 kilograms in weight, but his physical fitness has seriously declined. He is just a middle-aged fat man with a superficial appearance.

It is no exaggeration to say that any two adult men can deal with him.

If you have money, you can hire a few guards...

Thinking of this, Cheng Shijie suddenly had an idea.

The first step is to have money.

He quickly counted up what he had in hand, a set of light fragrance samples of second-tier luxury brands. This kind of thing would definitely be valuable in the late Ming Dynasty, but he had no sales platform and no channels.

The second is the drawing board, drawing paper and pencil set he bought for his son. Cheng Shijie didn't know the value of these things in the late Ming Dynasty. For the same problem, he had no sales channels...

The third one is the crystal music box I bought for my daughter. This thing can be sold for dozens of taels of silver, so it shouldn’t be a big problem. The middle-aged man who bought wine last time, even the White Glass Hotel thought it was crystal, and he was generous. He should be a

Qualified buyer.

Thinking of this, Cheng Shijie had an idea.

Cheng Shijie opened the crystal music box. The packaging box of this music box was a slightly high-end plastic box. After taking out the production date and production site and other information on it, he was ready to find a buyer.

He had to spend another night at the Liu Ji Inn, but he had no money to pay for the room.

Soon, Cheng Shijie had a solution.

"Dude!"

"What are your orders, sir?"

Cheng Shijie pointed to his things and said, "I'm going out to visit friends. Will there be any problem if I put these things here..."

Cheng Shijie just wanted to tell the clerk that he would come back and that these belongings were valuable by giving him three hundred taels of silver.

The clerk suddenly laughed: "Don't worry, sir, there will never be any theft of property in Liu Ji. If it is stolen, you can smash Liu Ji's sign!"

"What's the use of smashing your sign? These things are intended to be given to noble people!"

The guy smiled and was about to explain.

An old voice came from outside: "If it is stolen, Liu Ji will pay back ten times!"

"Did you have the final say?"

"I am Liu Ji's shopkeeper, so I naturally mean what I say!"

Cheng Shijie stood up, picked up the crystal music box and said: "This is the best. These things are not worth much, the most important thing is this..."

Cheng Shijie opened the perfume gift box, pointed at the four bottles of perfume and said: "These are good things bought from the West, comparable to gold!"

The shopkeeper looked at the crystal bottle and knew it was worth a lot. He believed that Cheng Shijie was not a charlatan who wanted to deceive Liu Ji. After all, the liar was hungry and full, but he couldn't eat Cheng Shijie's size.

Liu Ji's proprietor owns a warehouse, an inn, a gold and silver shop, and more than a dozen shops. This Liu Ji Inn alone can earn more than five hundred taels of silver a year. However, their Liu Ji proprietor also

It’s not like he eats and fishes every day, and he can’t be as shiny as Cheng Shijie.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Liu Ji has been in business for more than 200 years, and he will definitely not destroy his own sign for a few dozen taels of silver."

"See you later!"

Cheng Shijie stood up and left directly without cleaning up.

The shopkeeper looked at the waiter and said, "Send two people over and keep an eye on this place. Don't let strangers come near!"

"The villain understands!"

Cheng Shijie left Liu Ji Inn and walked directly towards the alley where he had taken shelter from the rain the day before.

After walking for more than half an hour, it seemed that he had arrived at that alley. Cheng Shijie sadly discovered that he seemed to be lost.

Cheng Shijie was also thinking that the middle-aged man who bought his Erguotou that day should be a good drinker and would spend a golden bean to buy his Erguotou, but he might not buy his crystal music box.

It was another aimless lie, almost like wandering through a maze, and finally stopped in front of a house. Cheng Shijie looked at the house. There was a gilt plaque with a blue background hanging on it, reading "Left House".

Although Cheng Shijie is not a history expert, he generally knows that ancient times are different from later generations. As long as later generations have money, they can buy an island and build a village without any problem.

However, in the Ming Dynasty, there were strict etiquette restrictions. Ordinary people called it a house, and noble people called it a mansion. There is a family in front of this house, and there are also households, which means that the other party must be an official.

Seeing this, Cheng Shijie turned around and left.

No one in the government has good things. When he sees the crystal music box in his hand, there is a high probability that he will not buy it, but will snatch it. The government in ancient times will not tell you about human rights and laws, but will just grab you and throw it in.

No one blinks in prison. You have no place to complain.

Cheng Shijie looked at the pawn shop on the opposite street, wondering if he should pawn the crystal music box for some money first. At least he could settle the rent at Liu Ji Inn, and he also needed something to eat. From noon to now, he had spent at least six months

I haven't eaten for seven hours, and my stomach is already unbearably hungry.

Although Cheng Shijie is fat, he is the least likely to suffer from hunger.

The door of the pawn shop is quite large, with five rooms. There are two men in short shirts standing at the door. They look very powerful at first glance.

The waiter looked at Cheng Shijie and said, "Monk Tena, I want to go elsewhere for alms!"

"I'm not a monk!"

In fact, the monks of the Ming Dynasty were far from having shiny heads like those in movies and TV shows. Most of the monks actually had some hair, which was slightly shorter than Cheng Shijie's.

Cheng Shijie wanted to make up a lie, explaining his hair, and seeing that the guy was not interested, he went straight to the store.

"Please in the guest officer!"

One of the lack of glasses inside, looking at Cheng Shijie: "What?"

In fact, there are only three positions in the pawn. The absence is responsible for the reception person and the valuation of the pawn object.

After the price "reported", the Middle Rama was written.

Cheng Shijie handed the crystal music box.

Everyone in the pawn shop is full of people. Looking at Cheng Shijie's wear, and that fat, you know that this person should have good financial resources.

If you look at this person's money and look decently, it is estimated that he may be able to redeem this item when it comes, then the "sang" will be higher, so that the interest can be higher and make interest money.

If you have no money and are tattered, you will sell things at first glance, then "Singing" will be very low, earn a "low buying and selling" money.

Like Bai Jingqi in the gate of the mansion, Bai Jingqi went to the pawn shop. When he took out a new leather jacket, the clerk yin and yang said weird: "Worms eat rats, bite, light boards are not hairy, and the broken face is a bad jacket!"

This is actually the intentional price.

Cheng Shijie was full of oil, but he didn't look like a mood. Although the clothes on his body were weird, it was a cotton texture. It should be a rich person.

"Is the guest officer ready to die or live?"

"Live!"

Cheng Shijie also learned about the cat's greasy. If he dares to die, the other party will definitely smash the price. If he choose to live, he can be higher and more pawn money, which means that the interest can be obtained is higher.

"How much silver wants to be a pawn?"

"At least 1,000!"

"High, crystal crystal, not worth so much ..."

"Is it worth it?"

Cheng Shijie reached out and pressed the electronic switch of the crystal music box. I saw the original crystal box that was originally flat, and suddenly made a light purple light. A pleasing e -piano sound made from the inside.

"this……"

"One thousand two silver, is it still high?"

I hurried to find the shopkeeper.

After a while, an old shopkeeper over half a year came over and watched Cheng Shijie ask: "How long does the guest want to do it?"

"One month!"
