While looking at the jewelry, Li Lanzhen was thinking about what to exchange in the mall to sell to Jin Fulai.

The key point is that I don’t have anything to exchange in the mall. I am anxious inside, but I don’t show it on my face.

She moved slowly, looking around leisurely, but her mind was browsing the mall. Suddenly, she found a mall window that actually needed food, just like her. The things to exchange for food were:

Twenty colorful glass marbles, a pair of tall round-bellied glass wine glasses, and a green tin frog!!

All these things require is a pound of white rice.

Li Lanzhen knew that these things should be from the era when she lived in. Toys like the tin frog only appeared around the 80s.

Have you played them all? (Internet pictures deleted if infringed)

Could it be that the person who exchanged the grain lived in that era? Indeed, there was a food shortage in that era.

Decisively, Li Lanzhen took out one and a half kilograms of rice to exchange for these things. The extra food was because no one knew what difficulties the person who exchanged the food had encountered, so it was all treated as emergency relief.

As for how much silver these things could be exchanged for, Li Lanzhen decided to leave it to Jin Fulai and let herself act according to circumstances.

Thinking of this, she smiled and said to the second brother: "Brother, I have some things passed down from my ancestors. I want to exchange them for some silver in your store. Would you like to take a look?"

The second brother was stunned and felt unhappy: This lady must be stupid. After three years of famine, the business of our store has been declining year by year. Why would she buy things from a peasant woman?

What good things does she have? Even if they are inherited from her ancestors, they are probably some old-fashioned hairpins and bracelets of poor quality. However, the waiter still looked at Li Lanzhen with a smile.

However, when Li Lanzhen took out tin frogs, high-footed glasses, and colorful glass marbles one by one from a backpack covered with rags and placed them on the counter, his eyes almost popped out.

Wow, what a treasure this is! Look at the tattered backpack containing the treasure, and take a look at Li Lanzhen. This lady is really wasting such a gift! !

I am really lucky today, great luck!

Master is right! Never look down on anyone! Someone you look down on may bring you good luck in life. Treat everyone who comes to Jinfulai with kindness.

Yes, I am lucky today. I will definitely be rewarded by my master, and maybe even get a promotion.

He looked up at the door, and quickly fetched a large wooden tray to collect the shiny treasures. He used a piece of red cotton cloth to cover the things that shocked him. Because he was too excited, his face was red. "Auntie, please come in with me. I can't be the boss of this business. Please come with me to the backyard and talk to our master."

"What is it that you can't decide?"

When Li Lanzhen heard the voice, she looked up and saw a young man, about 20 years old, fanning himself and walking slowly down from the upstairs.

Seeing Li Lanzhen, he did not show any disdain or disgust.

Li Lanzhen felt more at ease and more confident.

"Master, look at these treasures. They cannot be found even in the Treasure Pavilion in the capital of our Li country." The second brother shouted excitedly.

"Ahem. Uh-huh."

The waiter looked up and met the cold eyes of their master. Then he remembered that this was a business. How could he reveal the business opportunity? What a fool!

Turning around to look at Li Lanzhen, he saw that she was looking down at the jewelry on the counter and didn't have any excessive reaction, so he felt relieved.

In fact, Li Lanzhen was secretly delighted at this moment. She clenched her fists, thinking that these things could be sold at a good price.

The young master lifted the cloth on the tray and was shocked to see what was inside. However, he walked past the waiter and came to Li Lanzhen calmly, bowed and smiled at her: "Madam, please come upstairs with me to talk. Please."

Looking at the young man walking in front of her, waving a folding fan and with brisk steps, Li Lanzhen was secretly delighted. He thought, "You little guy, you pretend to be nonchalant, but in fact, you must be in turmoil inside."

After they sat down on the second floor, the young master said to the boy, "Bring tea and snacks to the lady."

Xiao Er finished these things quickly and went downstairs.

Li Lanzhen picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of water to moisten her throat. She looked at the two plates of snacks and swallowed unconsciously, but she did not reach out to eat them. She sat in the chair and waited.

Seeing her like this out of the corner of his eye, the young master had a higher opinion of Li Lanzhen and treated the subsequent negotiations more carefully.

I lifted the cover and saw the full appearance of these treasures, and I was shocked again!

A pair of round-bellied goblets, crystal clear and beautifully shaped, with colorful glass beads, round and smooth, and colored cores. The sunlight shines on them, passes through, and reflects onto the wall.

That green frog doesn’t seem very pretty.

Seeing what he was thinking, Li Lanzhen picked up the tin frog and gently turned the clockwork stick with her fingers. The hissing sound attracted the young master, and he watched Li Lanzhen's operation intently.

When Li Lanzhen put the tin frog on the table and the frog began to jump, his pupils suddenly widened.

When the frog hopped in front of him and was about to jump off the table, he reached out to catch it.

"Excuse me, this is a frog? A frog that jumps on its own?"

"Yes, look, this is the spring that drives it to jump. You can't turn it hard at once, or it will be damaged. Try it."

The young man excitedly and carefully wound the spring a few times, then at Li Lanzhen's instruction, he placed it on the table, and the frog began to jump and walk.

Li Lanzhen saw the ecstasy and shock in his eyes, without greed or possession.

She felt relieved. She had also been thinking of gambling. If someone wanted to steal the money, she would be helpless. Fortunately, she was lucky and met a good person.

"Sir, what do you think?"

"Oh, yes. Let's talk about the price. Auntie, my name is Zhou Yanrong, and our Jin Fulai business is spread across all the major counties and cities in the Li Dynasty."

"Mr. Zhou, I can't say for sure about the price. These are all brought back from overseas by our ancestors. You decide the price. If it's appropriate, we can pay for the goods at the same time."

After kicking the ball back, Li Lanzhen sat upright and looked at Master Zhou.

At this time, Zhou Yanrong no longer dared to underestimate Li Lanzhen, a peasant woman in tattered clothes.

He silently calculated in his mind: Three years ago, on the Queen Mother's birthday, Yin Fulai presented a colored glass bowl to the Queen Mother, and not only was he rewarded with a thousand acres of fertile land, he was also given the title of imperial merchant.

If these were sent to the palace, I can’t even imagine how great the reward would be!

"How about this, ma'am? For these three things, our Jin Fulai will give you one thousand taels of silver. What do you think?"

"How is it? You ask me and I go ask that, I don't know. The second kid said one pound of corn is one tael of silver, so how much cornmeal can this one thousand taels be exchanged for?" Li Lanzhen thought to herself.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Mr. Zhou frowned and then relaxed, smiling and quickly said, "How about giving you another 500 taels?"

Li Lanzhen thought that this price should be the highest price he could offer, so he decided to quit while he was ahead.

Then he nodded: "Okay. That's it. You pay me 1,500 taels of silver, and all of this will belong to you, Jinfu."

Li Lanzhen's eyes lit up when she looked down at the things in the baskets next to the table.

Ordinary people could not buy such weapons, so she raised her head and wanted to buy two knives, but Master Zhou spoke first: "Waiter, come, pack these plates of snacks for the lady, and two more plates, wrap the knife with cloth, and bring a water bag and a new backpack, put everything in, and take the lady downstairs."

As he spoke, he took out a wooden plate and handed it to Li Lanzhen. Inside the plate were neatly arranged silver ingots and a lot of small change.

Li Lanzhen knew it was time for her to leave, so she nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

I was carrying the plate downstairs, and when I was about to reach the first floor, I heard Master Zhou say, "If you want to escape from the famine, go east. It's best to hide in the mountains for a few years."
