Chapter 5: City-wide Delivery
There was a tinkling sound of gold coins, followed by an electronic prompt tone.
"Supermarket turnover RMB 26000, 50 taels of silver, 56 copper coins, and 100 taels of gold (deposit)."
"How to enter the transaction object..."
As the prompts came one by one, Xiao Yingchun was confused!
She said, how could an ancient general come to buy things?
It turned out that my own small shop had become a cross-time and space supermarket system?
Based on Xiao Yingchun's many years of experience in playing games, this system can be upgraded!
Now I am at level one and can only trade with Fu Chenan. Maybe I can trade with other people or even other time and space in the future?
When Xiao Yingchun thought of this, he became extremely excited.
I was wondering why I was so unlucky recently, it turns out good luck was waiting for me here!
She turned on the storage function and went in. Hey, isn’t it her own warehouse?
This old and dilapidated two-story building is the inheritance left by Xiao Yingchun's parents. It covers an area of 80 square meters. 30 square meters on the first floor are used as a warehouse, and about 40 square meters are used as a supermarket.
Each floor is three meters high and the warehouse has ninety cubic meters of space.
Five thousand boxes of compressed biscuits and mineral water each. Even if they can't be packed in one go, it should be about the same if we pack them in two batches, right?
The logic worked, and Xiao Yingchun decided to take a look at the gold in the bag first.
When the cloth bag was opened, ten simple gold ingots were revealed.
The gold ingot is not big, it is flat in shape, big at both ends and small in the middle, a bit like a bow, with a stamp in the middle.
She checked the price of gold bars on the Internet.
After figuring out what was going on, Xiao Yingchun picked up two gold ingots and put them in her bag, along with the three copper coins from yesterday.
He put the other eight gold bars into the safe and then went to the pawnshop.
If you want to import 5,000 boxes of compressed biscuits and water, it will cost at least 800,000.
The quantity is too large, so the wholesale store owner will not sell so much on credit. You need to pay a deposit first and then pay upon delivery.
She had no money, so she could only sell gold bars first.
By the way, let’s check whether this gold ingot is real.
Xiao Yingchun, wearing a T-shirt and shorts and carrying a shoulder bag, walked into the door of Xinlong Pawnshop with no makeup on...
When Dai Hengxin saw Xiao Yingchun coming in, his eyes lit up for a moment and he stood up on his own initiative: "The beauty is here again, what good stuff do you have today?"
Xiao Yingchun looked at the gray-haired Mediterranean old man who appeared in the store and did not respond.
Dai Hengxin noticed Xiao Yingchun's vigilance and took the initiative to introduce: "This is my mentor, and also my uncle, the doctoral supervisor of the Cultural Relics Appraisal Department of Beicheng University, Professor Dai Wangnian."
Xiao Yingchun looked at the other person carefully and took out his mobile phone to search.
Official website of Beicheng University, major in Cultural Relics Restoration, doctoral supervisor, Dai Wangnian.
Although the photo has been beautified, the eyebrows and bald head show that it is the same person.
Xiao Yingchun let down his guard a lot and sat aside.
Dai Hengxin's eyes fell on Xiao Yingchun's shoulder bag.
Xiao Yingchun looked at her bag and turned the passive attitude into active attitude: "Teacher Dai is the teacher who looks at copper coins that Boss Dai mentioned before?"
Dai Wangnian also reacted at this time and looked at Xiao Yingchun in surprise: "Are you the owner of the copper coin?"
Xiao Yingchun nodded and said nothing cautiously.
Dai Wangnian was an experienced man, and he could see Xiao Yingchun's nervousness. "I don't have any other intentions. I was just about to ask Hengxin to contact you to see if we can see the real thing."
"I have never seen this kind of copper coin before. I couldn't find it in the literature. I am very curious and want to see the real thing."
Xiao Yingchun thought about it, took out three copper coins from her bag and placed them on the coffee table.
Dai Wangnian immediately picked one up and examined it carefully.
Not only does he look, he also smells.
There is no earthy smell. Like the previous silver ingots, it was not unearthed, but looked like a collection that was often played with.
The look is right, the gloss is right, the feel is right, and after careful inspection... there's nothing wrong.
The only thing that didn't match was that he had never seen this style of Daliang Tong Bao before and the silver amount shown on the inscription on the silver ingot.
But not having seen it doesn’t mean it’s fake. It’s very likely that it doesn’t exist in historical documents, or that there are very few of them left in the world.
Xiao Yingchun waited patiently for him to finish looking, and then heard Dai Wangnian offer a price of two thousand yuan each.
Dai Wangnian's tone and expression were very sincere: "The Daliang Tongbao coins on the market are generally priced at one thousand yuan each." "But I've never seen the style of yours before, so it will be more expensive. But it's worn out... I can only give you two thousand yuan each, can you please give it up?"
Xiao Yingchun thought about the large handful of copper coins in her home safe and nodded happily.
"to make."
Dai Wangnian was instantly happy and asked Dai Hengxin to give him money.
Dai Hengxin just noticed that there was something wrapped in toilet paper in Xiao Yingchun's bag.
After giving the money, he spoke tentatively.
"Miss Xiao, do you have any other good things for us to see?"
Xiao Yingchun thought about it, took out a piece of toilet paper and put it on the coffee table.
With the previous three transactions, Dai Wangnian and Dai Hengxin were very cautious. After looking at each other, Dai Wangnian carefully opened the piece of toilet paper.
When a shiny golden ingot appeared in front of them, they widened their eyes in shock: "This is... a gold ingot?!"
Xiao Yingchun nodded.
Dai Wangnian was very excited: Gold ingots are different from silver ingots.
Even in ancient times, ordinary people did not use gold ingots for transactions, and they were rarely circulated in the market.
While asking Dai Hengxin to take the scale, he carefully picked it up and looked at it...
After looking at it carefully, I weighed it again and found the weight was 362 grams.
It is ten taels of gold ingot for sure.
Dai Wangnian became very excited and took the initiative to become Xiao Yingchun's teacher.
"In ancient times, one pound was weighed at sixteen taels, so one tael is roughly thirty-one to thirty-six grams..."
As Dai Wangnian explained, Xiao Yingchun nodded frequently.
Finally, Dai Wangnian stopped talking: "You want to sell this thing too?"
Xiao Yingchun nodded and said seriously: "I'm in urgent need of money, there's nothing I can do."
Dai Wangnian did not pursue the truth of the reason. He took Dai Hengxin to discuss it, and when he came back, he asked, "Is it okay to give 800,000 for this gold ingot?"
Xiao Yingchun was stunned: Eight hundred thousand?
She nodded decisively, agreed, and took out another one: "I have two."
Dai Wangnian and Dai Hengxin: "..."
After Xiao Yingchun left, Dai Hengxin sighed helplessly: "Uncle, this is a pawnshop, you can't take it at the market price."
If Dai Hengxin makes the offer, the maximum he can give is 600,000.
This is the market price of ten taels of gold.
But Dai Wangnian said in a serious tone: "I have never seen the inscription on this gold ingot before. It is very likely from a dynasty that has never been seen before."
"It's the same ten taels of gold, but the price can differ by more than ten times. I'm already giving her a low price. How can you bully her for not understanding?"
"Besides, this little girl must have other good things at home. Aren't you afraid that she will wake up and find other channels to sell the good things in the future?"
Dai Hengxin thought that no pawnshop would give 800,000 for one piece, so 600,000 would be considered a lot.
However, thinking of his uncle's scholarly spirit, Dai Hengxin tactfully shut up.
As soon as Xiao Yingchun left the pawnshop, he called Uncle Liang, the owner of the wholesale shop, to place an order.
Mineral water is not a problem, it is available at any time.
The trouble is the compressed biscuits.
Five thousand boxes of compressed biscuits are required to be delivered within one day, and it is estimated that the goods will have to be transported across the city or even across cities.
Fortunately, Xiao Yingchun had an idea in mind, so he relaxed the requirements: no restrictions on brand or packaging, as long as he could collect 5,000 boxes of compressed biscuits.
After getting the boss's affirmative promise, Xiao Yingchun put his mind at ease and began to think about the next plan.
