Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-Eighth: West City Profiteer
Since the West City almost takes over all the gold and silver goods transactions in Chang'an City, Yuemei quickly found a jewelry store.
"Langjun, Langjun, here, here, here, here~~~~"
Yin Qingfeng looked at Yue Mei who was constantly recruiting him, sighing that it was all caused by gems. Yue Mei always acted like a child in front of him, but she always had the image of a lady in front of outsiders. Today, she was "exposed in front of gems".
A fat shopkeeper saw another nobleman coming to the door and quickly came over, "How many girls want to buy some jewelry? There are all kinds of jewelry in this small store, all of which are the best-selling styles in Chang'an City."
Of course, Yuemei and the others did not come for jewelry, they all focused their attention on Yin Qingfeng.
When the fat shopkeeper saw it, he knew that the boy was the real master. He thought in his heart, "I'll make a lot of money this time! I can bring so many beautiful ladies, and at least one or two thousand guan on him. I have to find a way to get him to clean his pocket!"
"Greetings to the young man, please invite me inside, please! It's not a small boast, but only the jewelry in this small shop is worthy of these four beautiful ladies."
He automatically ignored Li Chengqian.
Yin Qingfeng walked in and ignored him.
Seeing Yin Qingfeng's expression was cold, he quickly patted his chest and said, "Young man is picking, if you are not satisfied, you will smash the store and the young man will have no complaints."
He has seen many playboys like Yin Qingfeng who come out to show off with beautiful ladies. As long as he flatters a few words, he still has to pay for it? He smashes the store? Just kidding, who is so embarrassed to be rude in front of so many beautiful ladies~~~
Yin Qingfeng waited for him to talk enough and said, "Do you know the price of the gem?"
"Gems? There are two gems and jewelry in the small shop, so you can be satisfied with it!"
The fat shopkeeper was even more happy. Those who could afford gemstone jewelry were definitely rich! They had to have at least three or five thousand jin in their pockets to dare to breathe such a big tone!
After hearing this, Yin Qingfeng changed his mind temporarily. He said, "Take it over and take a look."
"Okay~~~~ Please wait."
The fat shopkeeper went to pick up the jewelry happily.
Seeing that Yuemei was a little anxious, Yin Qingfeng said softly: "Don't worry, I have to worry about it."
The bearded man was a little anxious, but the boy said so to his people, so he had to wait patiently.
The shopkeeper was very fast, and he didn't let Yin Qingfeng wait for a long time before he came back with his two friends.
"Young man, please see, some little ladies."
The fat shopkeeper proudly pointed at the jewelry box and said.
Yin Qingfeng was very disappointed, and Yuemei and the others made even more disappointed voices.
The fat shopkeeper opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
He thought that once these two pieces of jewelry were taken out, these young girls would exclaim and then buy them crazily. Now look at this attitude...
Yin Qingfeng picked up a ruby jewelry casually, looked down at it, and then threw it back.
The uninlaid ruby is pointed from the side and the lower one is also pointed. The largest plane above is called the tabletop. If you look down vertically, you will find that the color of the tabletop is the most beautiful red. The more red it is, the higher the level.
The rubies on these three jewelry are not only small in diameter, but also not very red. Not to mention people like him who are used to gems, even Yuemei, who have compared them, they can't see them.
"This... this, the young man and the four little ladies, the young man promised that the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the young man must..."
The fat shopkeeper saw that the order was about to run away, so he quickly found a way to make up for it.
Yin Qingfeng stretched out his hand, stopped him, pointed to the bearded man behind him and said, "I want to buy a few gems from this Hu man. How much does the shopkeeper help me refer to the price?"
Some powerful people in Chang'an City like to raise a few Hu people as their storefronts. The fat shopkeeper thought that Mahathirye was the same behind Yin Qingfeng. Unexpectedly, the things were not what he imagined.
He stammered: "Little... I am willing to serve the young man..."
Yin Qingfeng took the pocket from the bearded man and handed it to the fat shopkeeper, "Then I'll trouble the shopkeeper."
The fat shopkeeper felt something was wrong as soon as he bought it, and the weight was a bit beyond expectations.
As soon as he waved his hand, a friend next to him handed the jewelry box in his hand to his companion, then walked to the fat shopkeeper and bent down.
Just when Yin Qingfeng and his friends were surprised, the fat shopkeeper untied his pocket and poured the gem on the guy's back.
"Uh~~~ There is still such an operation?"
Yin Qingfeng looked at them speechlessly.
The fat shopkeeper was looking forward to what he would see, but when the gem fell on the guy's back, he made a disappointed voice.
This made Yue Mei and the others curious. These gems are obviously much larger than the gems in this store. Why is the shopkeeper disappointed?
Only Yin Qingfeng understood why he was disappointed, "Cough~~ Can the shopkeeper estimate the price?"
The shopkeeper compared it and picked up a medium-sized gem and said, "Please look at it, a few ladies... This gem looks quite small, but has not been carved by craftsmen. If a skilled craftsman polishes it, its size..."
He pointed to the jewelry in the friend's hand and said, "It's only a little bigger than that."
“Ah~~~”
The four girls and Li Chengqian all exclaimed.
Yin Qingfeng nodded in his heart and gave a good evaluation of the fat shopkeeper's eyesight.
No one can say whether there are cracks inside the rough gem or gem stone before it has been polished. Once there are cracks in the middle, its value and size will be greatly reduced.
Taking the "African Star No. 1" diamond as an example, its raw stone weighs 3,106 carats, not counting the eight large diamonds and ninety-six small diamonds processed from scraps, "African Star No. 1" is only 530.2 carats. The weight has shrunk by nearly five-sixths.
The fat shopkeeper said that the gem in his hand was only reduced by half, which not only shows that he has good eyesight, but also proves that the craftsmen of this era are good at craftsmanship.
Because Yin Qingfeng knew the process of gem processing, he didn't want to waste his time anymore. "The shopkeeper should estimate the price."
The fat shopkeeper was initially disappointed that Yin Qingfeng did not intend to consume him, and then he was disappointed that the gems had not been polished, but he was a little excited now. Once Yin Qingfeng bought these gems, he would have to find a craftsman to polish and make jewelry. Then, his opportunity came again.
Thinking of this, he smiled and shouted loudly to the bearded man: "You Hu Shang are so hateful. You actually took these crude stones to deceive our nobles in the Tang Dynasty! You should be sentenced! Exited from the Tang Dynasty!"
The bearded man was immediately frightened.
He knew that these gems had to be processed, but when did the Tang Dynasty stipulate that only processed gems were allowed to be sold? If he had known, he would not have taken these gems privately. This made my uncle know, and he would not be able to follow the Tang Dynasty again~~
These are hundreds of gold coins~~~ If it were in Persia, it would be sentenced to hang~~~
The bearded man's legs became weak and he fell to the ground.
Yin Qingfeng had seen a price-sniffering person, but never seen such a ruthless person. He was so scared that the rookie in the mall was paralyzed.
He reached out and pulled the bearded man up and said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid first, it's me who bought it, not him. I'll deal with it."
The bearded man was trembling and couldn't speak, and he only stood firm with Yin Qingfeng.
Yin Qingfeng felt happy, turned around and said to the fat shopkeeper: "You might as well just talk about the price."
The fat shopkeeper squeezed his eyes at Yin Qingfeng and said loudly: "For the sake of this noble man, you have these broken stones...5, no! Four thousand guan! There is not a single article more! If you dare to talk too much, you will send you to the government!"
After hearing what he said, Yin Qingfeng roughly calculated the value of these gems.
He said to the fat shopkeeper: "It's causing trouble for the shopkeeper."
After saying that, he turned around and pulled the bearded man out.
When the fat shopkeeper saw that Yin Qingfeng was about to leave, he was a little anxious, "Hey~~~~ This young man, little..."
Yin Qingfeng turned his head and said, "I will deal with this Hu man first, and I will come back to find you later."|The fat shopkeeper is relieved now. As long as the boy returns, he will have the opportunity to make money.
The bearded man came to his senses a little, but when he heard Yin Qingfeng say he wanted to deal with him, he panicked again, and struggled and shouted: "Mahadiye really doesn't know that there is this law in the Tang Dynasty. Mahadiye is not sincerely deceived noble people! The noble people forgive Mahadiye~~~ Forgive Mahadiye~~~"
Yuemei and the others also thought Yin Qingfeng was planning to send him to the municipal office, so they followed Yin Qingfeng behind him and said nice things to the bearded man.
Yin Qingfeng ignored them and pulled the bearded man directly to a relatively remote place, and then let go of his hand.
In just a few dozen steps, he was sweating profusely.
The bearded man thrust and knelt down, and he wanted to beg for mercy.
Yin Qingfeng was so upset by him that he was out of patience at this moment and said to Yuemei: "Give him 15,000 guan and let him leave." Please follow the WeChat account for reading the latest chapter: rdww444
