Chapter 6 Running Early in the Morning, Turning a Stone into Gold



The cries of the stick continued until 12 o'clock in the middle of the night...

It wasn't until the uncle felt that it was too noisy that Qin Huairu put down the broom in his hand with red eyes.

When she was playing the stick, her mother-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, was on the sidelines and dared not speak.

Mrs. Zhang didn't have a job in the first place, and she had to rely on Qin Huairu to raise three children and an old woman.

In normal times, she still dared to complain.

Now that Qin Huairu is in a fit of anger, she no longer dares to be arrogant.

There was nothing to say all night, and soon the next morning came.

Ye Chen got up early and went out for a run. This was a habit he had developed in modern times for more than 20 years, and he had to keep it up.

On the way back, he picked up a stone and put it in his pocket.

Yesterday was a bit of a mess, and I haven't had time to experiment with the "Tianshichengjin" skill.

When Ye Chen put the stone in his pocket, he activated his skill.

A light invisible to others lit up, and Ye Chen felt that the stone in his hand suddenly became heavier.

Ye Chen took a sneak peek and knew that he had succeeded. Stone and gold have the same volume, but the density of gold is higher.

"That's right, such a big piece must not weigh two or three catties!"

When running back to the courtyard, Qin Huairu was already up and ready to go to work.

"Morning! Sister Qin!"

Qin Huairu's eyes were still red, so she forced a smile.

"Morning! Cousin Ye Chen, you still go for a run!"

"Exercising is good for your health!" Ye Chen laughed and went back to the room.

He Yuzhu hasn't gotten up yet, he is mainly responsible for lunch and dinner, so he works very late.

As soon as Ye Chen entered the room, he called Silly Zhu.

"Brother! Wake up! I'll show you something!"

Silly rubbing his eyes in a daze, he sat up.

"Okay! I said brother, why did you get up so early!"

"Run! The early bird gets the worm!" Ye Chen said with a smile.

"There are still worms to eat! I think you are just free. You see, whoever has time to run these days is busy making money!"

"Hey, Brother Zhu, don't tell me, I picked up something today!"

"What did you find? You found a penny on the side of the road?" He Yuzhu laughed as he watched.

Until Ye Chen took out a golden nugget from his pocket and waved it in front of Sha Zhu.

"Take a look, what is this?"

"I'll go! Brother! Are you...gold?" Sha Zhu asked in a low voice.

"I estimated it in my hand, it's quite heavy, I don't understand it either!

Why don't we find a place for people to watch secretly? "Of course Ye Chen knew it was gold, but he still gave an ambiguous answer.

"sure!

You wait, wait for me to get up, we will secretly go to identify it.

If it's true, see if you can sell it, and you'll be rich!
Be careful though...

Otherwise, a speculator can't escape the crime! "

He Yuzhu quickly put on his clothes, went out to wash his face, and took Ye Chen to catch the bus.

There is no fixed station these days, generally where people are, there is the platform.

He Yuzhu is also a fine person, so he didn't find a place near the courtyard for identification.

He was afraid of being recognized by others, and when the time came, he would report back, and the two brothers would be done.

The two of them sat down to Dongsi People's Market on Longfusi Street. This is a large commercial area, with electrical appliances store, dried fruit and cold drink store, Songzhu department store, bakery store, and gold store.

"Baoyuan Gold Store, this is the place!" Sha Zhu pulled Ye Chen around the scarf around his neck, covering half of his face, and entered the gold store.

Early in the morning, two people who behaved strangely entered the shop like this, which shocked the shop owner, Sun Jianguo.

Looking at the two tall figures, he asked, "You two, are you buying or selling? My place is very close to the security department..."

His voice trembled slightly.

"Shopkeeper, I need you to give me an appraisal!" Sha Zhu gestured to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen took out a fist-sized gold nugget from his pocket and handed it to Sun Jianguo.

Sun Jianguo weighed it in his hand, "Brother, where did this object come from?"

"It's up to you! You just need to do the appraisal!" Sha Zhu raised his eyebrows and said.

"Haha, I'm just asking, don't mind, don't worry, we... someone!" Sun Jianguo pointed to the roof and smiled.

"It's passed down from the ancestors, show me if it's real gold!" Ye Chen didn't mind at all, he just ran away after being reported, and there are no cameras in this era.

But he believes that the owner of the gold shop is not that stupid, he is not a fool if he has money and does not make money.

Of course, Sun Jianguo would not be that stupid. He first closed the store door, walked to the counter, took a closer look with a magnifying glass, and then set fire to it for a while.

"Two brothers, your ancestors must be like this!" He stretched out his hand and gave a thumbs up.

"You two, this gold is real. It's so pure. It's such a big piece. Why don't you weigh it first."

Silly Zhu looked at Ye Chen, the things belonged to Ye Chen, so naturally he should listen to his opinion.

"Weigh it first!"

Sun Jianguo took out a small scale and put the gold nuggets on it, with the ends raised high.

"Three catties and ninety-two dollars! That is... 1980 grams"

"It's so heavy!" Silly Zhu's eyes widened. The price of gold these days probably fluctuates between one and two yuan. How much is such a large piece of gold worth...

"According to today's gold price, I think it's one yuan and fifty-three cents. Let me do the math, eight out of eight..." Sun Jianguo took out his abacus and began to fight.

Ye Chen had black lines on his face, he had already figured it out in his mind, there is a long way to go to popularize compulsory education!

"It's 29 yuan and [-] cents in total!" Ye Chen said.

Sun Jianguo was obsessed with calculations and didn't pay attention to what he was talking about. One minute later, he raised his head and said.

"Two guests, a total of 29 yuan and [-] cents!"

"By the way, what did you just say?"

"My brother just said that the total is 29 yuan and [-] cents!

You say you are stupid or not, just crackling, my brother has already figured it out! "

Silly Zhu said with a smile that he has been numb by this number.

Ye Chen casually picked up a piece of gold on the road, enough for him to be a cook for five or six years, and he was thinking about going for a run together tomorrow.

"Sure enough, he is a dragon and phoenix among people, not ordinary!
You two see this price, sell or not? "

Sun Jianguo was not surprised. Some people are born smart and cannot be compared or learned.

"Sell it! Otherwise, what are you using it for? But we don't know each other anymore!" Ye Chen said.

"Young comrade, don't worry, my grandson's reputation is still solid..." Sun Jianguo assured, patting his chest.

Silly Zhu pulled Ye Chen aside, "Silly brother, why don't we negotiate a price? Every penny more can be tens of dollars more!"

Ye Chen really thought about it, at this time, every cent of the money can really buy real things.

Unlike his time, snatching a one-cent red envelope is already an illusory love...

"Well, Brother Zhu, go and bargain, and I'll give you all the extra money!" Ye Chen said.

"What are you talking about, brother, you are slapping brother in the face! You stay here, I'll go and talk to him!"

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he walked to Sun Jianguo's side and began to negotiate the price with him.

Although he is a cook, he buys all the food in the rolling mill, and bargaining is his strong point.

Ye Chen listened to their conversation next to the two, and found it very interesting, and it could be regarded as a new life experience.
