In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

North-South grocery store.

An antique shop comes into view, and a faint fragrance wafts out as soon as you enter.

The fragrance was not pungent, but a light woody scent that was very soothing. Bai Lu felt relaxed and refreshed all over.

There was a well-dressed middle-aged man in his forties. When he saw Bai Lu come in, he didn't show any strange expression, but smiled and said.

"Young lady, do you want to sell or buy something?"

Bai Lu smiled and said, "I just wanted to ask if you guys are collecting pearls and how do you collect them?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then he said with a smile: "If it's the pearls, young lady, you really asked the right person. Our North-South Grocery Store has the highest price for pearls in the whole town, and even in the whole Huai County."

"As for pearls, there are different names for them! There are white pearls, pink pearls, purple pearls, and black pearls!"

"As for white pearls, they are divided into river pearls and sea pearls.

If it is a pearl from the sea, the price will be higher than that from the river. If you are more capable, you may be able to catch big pearls, and the bigger the pearl, the more expensive it is.

The price of particularly large pearls can be several times higher than that of small pearls."

"Little Pearl may be so small..."

Boss Chen took out a pearl that was the size of a millet grain and said to Bai Lu, "It might take a whole bag of this small pearl to exchange for one ounce of silver."

"But if it's this big..."

He took out a pearl that was about the size of Bai Lu's little finger and said with a smile, "If it were this big, one pearl could be exchanged for one tael of silver."

"If it's a seawater pearl, it's worth more than one tael of silver, double that! Two taels of silver! If it's of better quality, three taels."

"If there are other colors, pink or purple, they are even more precious... The better the color, the better the price. Maybe the price can be increased several times."

He simply didn't mention black pearls. They are extremely rare and Bai Lu couldn't possibly have them.

"..."

Bai Lu was silent. She had no idea whether the pearl was good or not!

I'd better take out one at random and let Boss Chen have a look. Bai Lu said with a smile, "I have a better pearl here. Can you take a look at its quality?"

"If the quality is good, I will return the pearls to you next time."

"Row."

Boss Chen nodded and waited with a smile for Bai Lu to bring it out.

Bai Lu pretended to rummage through her pocket, but actually entered the system mall and quickly bought a pearl worth five taels of silver.

A pearl worth five taels of silver in the system mall is as big as Bai Lu's ring finger, round and full, exuding a bright luster.

As soon as he took it out, Boss Chen was stunned!

He looked at the white pearl in Bai Lu's hand in shock, and said to Bai Lu in confusion: "Oh my God, this female Bodhisattva!"

"Where did you get such a beautiful pearl?!"

"This is a precious seawater pearl! It's so big, so round, and so shiny! It's top quality!"

"If I give it to you... the price can be 20 taels of silver!"

He looked very excited. He never expected that this ordinary-looking young lady could produce such fine pearls.

"If you can produce something of the same quality later... the price will be even higher."

Bai Lu was stunned. 20 taels of silver... In an instant, she made a profit of 15 taels by making the difference.

It seems that this pearl is really a good thing and can be exchanged for a lot of money.

Bai Lu touched her chin and nodded with a smile.

"Well, I still have some... I actually forgot just now that there are some pearls in my other pocket."

"..."

Boss Chen's expression remained unchanged. He nodded with a smile, but his look was a little alert. He said.

"Girl, did you pick these pearls from the nearby river? It doesn't look like it. How come there are so many?"

Bai Lu shook her head and said, "I bought this from a merchant far away."

"Who is this businessman?"

Boss Chen continued to ask to get to the bottom of the matter.

Bai Lu smiled and said, "Do you know Mingyue Tower?"

Boss Chen nodded: "Mingyue Tower, of course I know!"

"It has recently overshadowed all other popular restaurants and has become the largest restaurant in our Lotus Town!"

Bai Lu nodded and said, "The reason why their restaurant is so popular is because someone supplies them with 1500 kilograms of goat milk every day."

Someone needs to supply them with 1500 kilograms of goat milk so that they can keep supplying the new dishes in their restaurant."

Bai Lu smiled slowly as she spoke, "And the supplier of these 1500 kilograms of goat milk is my friend, the pearl merchant."

"......I see."

Boss Chen knew this person. They were all well-informed about the merchants, so they all knew that Mingyue Tower supplied 1500 kilograms of goat milk.

I also know that no one around here can afford 1500 kilograms of goat milk, so it must be from outside the area.

Boss Chen believed what he said.

His expression also became more respectful, "It seems that your family has fallen on hard times!"

Bai Lu nodded with a smile, and said lightly and pretentiously: "That's not the case. I just want to keep things simple, so I dress like this."

"Oh~"

Boss Chen got it!

He believed it, he believed it!

After Bai Lu finished bragging, she thought to herself that she would have to change her clothes later.

She always wears such shabby clothes when she goes out to discuss business... If she meets someone polite, she will be treated with respect. If she meets someone impolite, she will be directly driven out like the waiter in the Jixiang Restaurant.

After Bai Lu finished speaking, she took out two handfuls of pearls from her other pocket without changing her expression, each one bigger than the other.

This time, Boss Chen was confused.

"???"

"My dear, your pocket... can hold a lot of things."

It was the first time that Boss Chen had seen a pocket that could hold so much stuff.

He couldn't help but ask Bai Lu: "But you put the pearl in your pocket, don't you think the pearl will be lost?!"

Bai Lu said calmly: "I don't think so."

Boss Chen: “…”

"Wouldn't you feel bad if you lost such a valuable pearl?"

Bai Lu continued calmly: "No, because I still have some."

Boss Chen looked admiring.

Good, good, this person really seems to be a wealthy customer. It seems that he is wearing this outfit on purpose to be low-key today, and he is not an ordinary farmer.

Boss Chen said that he understood, and he nodded quickly and said, "Don't worry, girl, I won't tell anyone about your visit to my shop today."

"Let's just pretend we don't know each other. Next time you come, it will be the first time we meet!"

"Happy cooperation!"

As he spoke, Boss Chen immediately began to count the pearls frantically: "This one is 20 taels!"

"This one is 24 taels!"

"This one is good! 35 taels!"

"This one is not very good, 18 taels!"

"..."

"Such a big black pearl... well, I'll give you 100 taels."

After Boss Chen finished the calculation, he smiled and said, "The total is 455 taels of silver. Here you go."

"come back next time!"

Boss Chen was very happy.

Bai Lu was also very happy.

She spent 100 taels of silver to buy so many pearls from the system mall, but ended up making 455 taels.

The net profit from this visit to the store is 370 taels!

Her savings already amounted to 1171 taels of silver, and it broke through a thousand taels so quickly...

It’s great to resell goods, she will come again next time!

Next time, maybe I can hold on to 1000 taels of silver, resell more, and make a big profit.
