Rebirth: I Raise a Husband in Another World
Chapter 330 Jin Defu Buys Gold Jewelry 3
The second shopkeeper calculated that the ring was worth twenty taels of silver. He said to Lin Han, "Sir, the total price is twenty taels of silver.
Since you are custom-making it, you only need to pay a 20% deposit, which is 4 taels of silver. You can pay the rest when you come back to pick up the ring next time."
Lin Han thought: Compared with my current wealth, twenty taels of silver is still relatively small. If converted to modern times, it would be several thousand or tens of thousands of RMB, which is not cheap.
The price of gold here is one gram of gold equals 0.6 taels of silver, and the labor cost for customized rings is very expensive.
Moreover, if the customer does not show up when the goods are delivered, or does not want the customized gold jewelry, the gold shop will have to melt the customized gold jewelry and make it into other styles of jewelry.
This process also takes time and effort, so in gold shops, for example, custom-made jewelry, what is really expensive is not the gold, but the labor cost.
Of course, the specific amount of labor costs depends on the difficulty of customizing the jewelry. Like what Lin Han requested, it is of medium to high difficulty, plus the weight, so it is twenty taels of silver.
Lin Han was lost in his own thoughts. Seeing that Lin Han didn't say anything, the second shopkeeper thought that Lin Han thought it was too expensive.
He quickly explained to Lin Han with a smile, saying how much gold cost per gram now, and that the ring-making masters at Jin Defu were all masters, so the price would naturally be higher.
He also said that although the price of their Jindefu products is a bit higher, the quality is guaranteed because they use high-purity gold.
Moreover, although the price is a bit high, the recycling price is also high. In short, you won’t suffer a loss or be cheated when you buy it.
Lin Han was confused after hearing this. He didn't know why the second shopkeeper suddenly said so much. He handed the cloth bag in his hand to the second shopkeeper.
He then asked his clerk to hand over the anklets he had packed to the second shopkeeper, and said to him, "Shopkeeper, let's settle the bill together."
It’s called packing, but in fact it just means closing the wooden box containing the accessories and covering it with a cloth bag, that’s all.
The second shopkeeper looked at the pile of bags. Although he was not shocked, since this was the provincial capital and there were many people who bought more gold jewelry than Lin Han, he was still happy.
Several pieces of gold jewelry were sold at once. Not only the clerks, but even he, the second-in-command, received a commission. Who wouldn't be happy with the increased salary?
The second shopkeeper happily opened the six cloth bags, took out the wooden boxes inside, and prepared to check the prices.
Each wooden box is padded with a piece of paper with the price of the gold jewelry written on it.
The second shopkeeper opened the box and carefully took out the gold jewelry inside. He glanced at the price on the paper, took out a piece of paper to write it down, put the gold jewelry back and closed the lid.
This was repeated six times, and finally the prices of all the gold jewelry bought by Lin Han were recorded.
The first flower necklace weighed ten grams and was worth thirteen taels of silver. The pair of bracelets weighed sixty grams in total and was worth sixty taels of silver. The pair of anklets weighed fifty grams in total and was worth fifty taels of silver.
A bracelet engraved with auspicious patterns weighs 20 grams and is worth 22 taels of silver, and a Pixiu bracelet weighs 18 grams and is worth 20 taels of silver.
The bell anklet that Lin Han later fell in love with weighed ten grams and was worth twelve taels of silver.
The total value of the custom-made ring is twenty taels of silver, and the deposit is four taels of silver, totaling one hundred and eighty-one taels of silver.
The second shopkeeper told Lin Han the price of each piece of gold jewelry and said, "Sir, the total is one hundred and eighty-one taels of silver. I will round off the amount and charge you one hundred and eighty taels of silver."
Lin Han took out two silver notes of one hundred taels from his pocket and handed them to the second shopkeeper, saying, "Thank you, shopkeeper. Here are two hundred taels."
The second shopkeeper took the banknote with a smile, examined it carefully, and replied, "You're welcome, sir. I hope you're satisfied. There's nothing wrong with the banknote. Here's twenty taels. Please keep it."
The second shopkeeper took out a twenty-liang silver note from the counter drawer and handed it to Lin Han.
Lin Han stuffed the banknote into his arms and asked, "Okay, that's it, boss. When can I pick up the ring?"
The second shopkeeper said with a smile: "You can come and pick it up after eight days, sir. Remember to come and pick it up within six months.
If you have not come to pick up the ring within six months, we will automatically consider that you have breached the contract. We will not refund your deposit and you will not be given the ring.
Sir, this is the contract. You can tell me your name and I will write it down, or you can write it down yourself and just sign and put your fingerprint on it."
Lin Han nodded to show that he understood, wrote his name on the paper and pressed his thumbprint on it.
Lin Han: "Okay, boss."
The second shopkeeper took the deed and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, and said to Lin Han with a smile: "Thank you for your cooperation, sir, you can take all these away.
Sir, if you want to sell these gold ornaments in the future, please give priority to Jin Defu. The recycling price offered by Jin Defu is definitely the highest in the market."
As soon as he said this, Lin Han picked up six cloth bags in one hand. Although Lin Han felt that what the second shopkeeper said was impossible, he still left some room for thought.
He said: "I understand, boss, if there is a need, I will give priority to Jin Defu."
After saying that, Lin Han picked up his things and left.
The second shopkeeper said with a smile: "Take care, sir. Welcome to visit us next time."
The waiter who was in charge of entertaining Lin Han followed Lin Han downstairs and saw him out. He didn't stop until Lin Han walked out of Jin Defu's door. He said with a smile: "Goodbye, sir. Welcome to visit us next time."
Lin Han left Jin Defu, looked around and listened carefully, and walked to a dark and deserted corner.
After making sure that no one was following him and no one was staring at him, he put all six cloth bags into the space, and then continued to stroll around the night market with ease.
While walking around, Lin Han smelled an enticing burnt aroma. Following the enticing burnt aroma, Lin Han found a roast duck restaurant. There were quite a lot of people in the restaurant.
Lin Han went in and ordered half a duck, intending to try how it tasted. Soon, the roast duck was sliced and served, along with a bowl of rice.
The rice and roast duck may seem simple, but it is actually very delicious. The duck meat is tender, juicy and delicate.
The crust was baked golden and crispy. When Lin Han took a light bite, it made a pleasant crunching sound. It was crispy and delicious, leaving a lingering fragrance in his mouth.
It is absolutely delicious when paired with the chewy white rice that is cooked to distinct grains.
Lin Han ate half a roast duck and three bowls of white rice by himself, leaving a lasting impression.
So, Lin Han happily decided to buy five roast ducks, two of which were sliced and three were whole, so that he could eat them whenever he wanted.
What? At this time, someone will ask, what if I buy so much and it doesn’t taste good when it gets cold (actually no one asks).
Of course it was placed in Lin Han’s space. At this moment, Lin Han’s space had not been upgraded to level three, but only level two.
The author has something to say: I missed a flower necklace before, so I made some changes to this chapter.
