Shao Yi bought this mirror from a small shop. It only cost three yuan, so the quality was very ordinary.
However, this was still a mirror from the 21st century.
Compared to the bronze mirrors at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, this was a world of difference.
When Venice invented the glass mirror, it caused a sensation throughout Europe. When the Queen of France got married, the King of Venice gave a small mirror as a congratulatory gift. At that time, this mirror was a very precious gift, worth up to 150,000 Francs!
Even the Queen of France couldn't put it down!
That was a mercury mirror, nothing compared to modern silver-plated mirrors.
Therefore, when Shao Yi took out the mirror that was worth three yuan, the expression of the Third Lady of the Hu Family was very interesting.
From the tsundere at the beginning, to shock, to excitement…
"This is a mirror? Is this really a mirror?"
"How can there be such a bright mirror? Shouldn't mirrors be made of copper?"
"Heavens! Am I dreaming?"
"Is this…also from overseas? This is simply too magical!"
Hu Sanniang was a little incoherent. She held the three-yuan mirror and couldn't put it down, making Shao Yi feel a little ashamed.
Hmm, when I have money, I'll get this girl a high-end mirror.
Of course, he couldn't show his fear now. Shao Yi smiled and said,"Do you like it?"
"Yes! I like it!" Hu Sanniang kept nodding. In comparison, neither Coca-Cola, instant noodles, nor lighters made her happier than this mirror.
For girls, Shao Yi did not understand the value of this mirror at all!
"This gift is too precious. Tell me, how much is it? Feel free to ask." Hu Sanniang said generously while playing with the mirror.
Hu Sanniang felt that it was worth it even if she had to pay a thousand taels of silver to buy this mirror, let alone a few hundred taels of silver!
"It's free."
"Hmm? No money? How could that do? I won't take such a precious gift for free.”Hu Sanniang said with a very principled look.
Shao Yi smiled faintly." A sword is matched with a hero, and a mirror is given to a beautiful woman. Only when this mirror is in your hands will it not be considered a disgrace."”
This flattery made the Third Lady blush. Stinky hooligan!"
Shao Yi was speechless. Alright, it seems that I can't get rid of the label of a hooligan.
Sooner or later, I will let you know the true meaning of the word "hooligan".
But no matter what, the way she looked at Shao Yi now was definitely different from the beginning! Although it wasn't to the extent of being affectionate, it was definitely…much closer.
With all kinds of strange things given to girls to make them happy, how difficult would it be to flirt with girls?
Hu Sanniang took the mirror and left happily. Shao Yi asked the servant to close the shop. The instant noodles bought for 100 yuan had been sold out. It would not be open until tomorrow.
Today's income was a total of three taels of silver and 400 wen. What he needed to do now was to use this money to buy something and bring it back to the modern world to be exchanged for soft money.
With the money, the space-time business could continue.
It was not very interesting to exchange this money for gold. Moreover, the gold content in the Song Dynasty was not high, far from the level of modern gold. Therefore, it was troublesome to sell gold in modern times.
Moreover, the origin of the gold was unknown, so it was difficult to explain.
Shao Yi did not want to cause trouble for himself and wanted to use other goods to exchange for soft sister coins.
She took the money and went shopping. After shopping for more than an hour, she did not find any suitable products to bring back to the modern world.
In the modern era, one could easily earn a fortune by bringing something to the Song Dynasty, but what could the Song Dynasty sell back to the modern era?
It was not that simple.
"Selling crabs! Fresh river crabs! It's ten copper coins per catty. Come and buy it." At this moment, a peddler's shout entered Shao Yi's ears.
River crabs? A hairy crab? Ten wens per 500 grams? Shao Yi's eyes lit up.
Although it was summer and not the best season to eat crabs, crabs were still too cheap for ten wen per catty.
Even if a catty in the Song Dynasty was only 600 grams in modern times, this was really too cheap, wasn't it?
Shao Yi followed the sound and walked over to take a look. A man in his thirties was selling crabs at a stall. There were two large bamboo baskets. When he looked carefully, each crab was not small!
It was definitely more than three taels!
Such a good crab was actually ignored and not many people came to buy it. It seemed that ancient crabs were not rare.
In fact, let alone ancient times, even in Shao Yi's parents 'generation, crabs were not worth much when they were young.
There was also an old photo of poor people in Shanghai in the 1930s and 1940s. They couldn't afford rice and could only eat Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs to satisfy their hunger…
This was enough to explain the problem.
"How much are these two baskets of crabs? I want them all." Shao Yi said generously.
With three taels of silver, it was definitely not a problem to buy these two baskets of crabs.
"Sir, you want all of these two baskets of crabs?”The crab seller thought he had heard wrong.
One had to know that this thing was not worth much at all. It was just that there were many merchants coming and going from Yanggu County. If they were lucky, they could sell some. Otherwise...
There were plenty of them in the lakes and rivers in the countryside. They could be caught casually. Who would spend money to buy such things to eat?
"Yes, I want them all. How much is it?”
The man was stunned for a moment before he excitedly weighed it and calculated," A total of 83 pounds, 830 wen. You can give me 800 wen.”
Shao Yi directly threw a tael of silver to this man.
When the man received the tael of silver, his hands were trembling. He was extremely excited. This was simply making a fortune!
Although he had caught two baskets of crabs to sell, the man knew that it would be good if he could sell half a basket!
Who would have thought that their luck would be so good today? They were all bought out as soon as they came to the county?
" Thank you, but…I can't find the change…" The man's face turned purple.
Shao Yi waved his hand." There's no need to change. I'll reward you with the rest. However, you have to send this crab to Purple Stone Street for me, okay?”
The man was so excited that his voice trembled." Thank you, sir. Sure, I'll send it to you now."”
Shao Yi led the way in front. The man carried two baskets of crabs behind him and quickly returned to the shop.
"Prepare two more baskets of crabs tomorrow and send them to this shop. Remember, they have to be fat. Don't fool me with small crabs.”Shao Yi felt that this business would definitely make money.
"Sir, do you still want it tomorrow?" The man's eyes lit up.
"Nonsense, why don't I tease you? Am I free?" Shao Yi's words were very impolite.
However, the more impolite Shao Yi was, the more excited the man became. He thanked him profusely and left. He said that he would definitely send the crabs over on time tomorrow. The crabs would only be better than today and definitely not worse than today.
After closing the door, Shao Yi put the two baskets of crabs into his space. Now, he was most worried that the space-time teleportation would take the crabs 'lives.
Living crabs were valuable, but dead crabs were worthless.
However, the cost was only one tael of silver.
He teleported back to the modern world and took out two baskets of crabs. Shao Yi took a look. Haha, the crabs were all alive!
That was awesome!
He picked up two baskets of crabs and went to the nearest seafood market.
Shao Yi was too lazy to set up a stall to sell. He could directly package the whole thing and sell it to the vendors.
"Boss, do you sell crabs here?" Shao Yi chose a stall and asked.
The boss was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was speechless when he heard that." Young man, I sell seafood here. Of course, I accept crabs. However, I have a fixed channel, hehe.”
Hehe, what he meant was that he didn't want Shao Yi's crab.
Shao Yi didn't take it to heart. He put down the two baskets of crabs." Don't refuse yet. Take a look at my goods first."”
The boss came over reluctantly, but when he saw Shao Yi's two baskets of crabs, his eyes lit up." Oh, they're all big crabs with more than three taels. Not bad!"”
"Young man, how much do you want?" The owner was tempted. The crab looked really good, and why did it look like it was wild?
The boss felt that his eyes were playing tricks on him. How could he see a wild one? He had already booked it from a top-notch restaurant. It was priceless.
Even if they were not wild, even if they were farmed, such a big and fat crab could be sold for 150 yuan per catty in the market.
Of course, the purchase price was definitely not 150 yuan.
"100 yuan per catty. I'll sell them to you cheaply. They're all wild.”Shao Yi said indifferently.
Was it really wild? It can't be, right? The boss waved his hand." It's too expensive. I don't need this price when I buy goods. Besides, where can I find wild ones now?"”
Shao Yi chuckled." If I say it's wild, then it's wild. Brother, you're in this line of work. Don't tell me you don't have such good eyesight?”
"If you can swallow this batch of goods, I'll come back tomorrow to deliver two baskets. If you don't want to do this business, then forget it.”Shao Yi said indifferently.
100 yuan per catty was definitely very cheap. Shao Yi was too lazy to bargain with him because of the low cost.
It was also to make a move quickly. After all, it was easy for Shao Yi to make money now. There was no need to waste time.
It would depend on whether the boss was a person who was slow to talk.
If he didn't, Shao Yi would immediately pick up the crabs and leave without saying anything.
If he didn't grasp the opportunity, he wouldn't blame others.
The boss thought about it for a moment. When he saw Shao Yi's indifferent expression, he finally gave up the idea of bargaining. 100 yuan per catty, I want it all!"
"Young man, if you have more of these crabs tomorrow, please send them over.”
The Song Dynasty's 80 catties were only 50 kilograms, which was 100 catties. 100 yuan per catty…
Two minutes later, Shao Yi received a text message notification that he had received 10,000 yuan!
Ten thousand dollars! To the rich, this was only the price of a meal. To Shao Yi…
This was the first time Shao Yi had seen so much money!
We're rich! Shao Yi was extremely excited!
With this sum of money and a good start, the following business would definitely be smooth sailing and rich!
At this moment, Shao Yi's phone rang. It was a message from Momo, a little beauty.
