Chapter 355 Exchanging Gold and Silver
Chapter 355 Exchanging Gold and Silver
By giving the items to Aunt Lu, Lin Liuyi had completed half of his mission.
As for the diamond bracelet that Su Qiu gave her, Lin Liu sighed. She thought she might as well give it to Aunt Lu as a discount later.
Lin Liuyi was making plans when she noticed the young lady calling for her.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" This young lady isn't here to return me, is she?
Lin Liuyi inwardly cursed; she had forgotten to mention that once goods were sold, they could not be returned or exchanged.
Su Qiu was completely oblivious to Lin Liuyi's distress; her mind was solely focused on her Xia Zi.
"June 1st, what kind of toon sprouts, dried bamboo shoots, shepherd's purse, noodle greens, lamb's quarters, wheel greens, bitter lettuce... do you have there?"
Just as Su Qiu was about to finish speaking, Lin Liuyi interrupted her.
Thank goodness they're not here to return anything; they look more like they're here to buy new stock!
"Wait a minute, are you here to recite the menu?" Lin Liuyi asked.
Wasn't the young lady indifferent to these things? Why is she suddenly asking for so many kinds of wild vegetables?
Perhaps Lin Liuyi's questioning expression was too obvious, because Su Qiu also felt a little embarrassed.
"Well, isn't this what Xia Zi likes to eat? These are all things she remembers eating, so I wanted to ask if you have any over there. I can buy them for myself!"
As Su Qiu spoke, she tried to smooth the bracelet again, her familiar movements leaving Lin Liuyi no time to stop her.
Good heavens, she finally understood why Su Qiu's movements looked familiar.
This isn't something you see in TV dramas. Many matriarchs love to carry lots of bracelets, bangles, hairpins, and the like. When they meet a younger person at a banquet, they can immediately take one out and give it to them as a gift.
Su Qiu is the same way. The way she smooths the bracelet looks so familiar, she must have given it away as a gift many times.
"What, you don't like this? Then I have a necklace, do you want to pick one?" Su Qiu thought Lin Liuyi was unwilling because she was silent.
"That's enough, that's enough. But this is too expensive. Why don't you exchange it for a silver or gold bracelet?"
I'm afraid Aunt Lu wouldn't appreciate diamonds. Lin Liuyi thinks silver or gold would be more suitable for her.
"We don't have any silver jewelry, but we do have some gold jewelry!"
Su Qiu took Lin Liuyi to see it, which really made Lin Liuyi very proud.
What's the point of having a golden phoenix crown in your house if you're not getting married?
And these gold bowls, gold chopsticks, gold cups, gold plates, gold vases, do you use them all?
Lin Liuyi couldn't help but ask a question.
"Oh, no need. Our bowls, chopsticks, cups, and plates are all custom-made from a specialized kiln. These are just for display!"
Lin Liuyi admitted that he was a little envious. He had a mountain of gold, but he wasn't this extravagant.
After looking around, Lin Liuyi decided to give up. It seemed that even if she gave these to Aunt Lu, she would just hide them.
Seeing Lin Liuyi shaking his head repeatedly, Su Qiu grew anxious.
"You didn't like any of these? The bowls and chopsticks are indeed a bit plain, but isn't this phoenix crown exquisite enough? Not enough to pay for? Well, I also have pink diamonds, yellow diamonds, sapphires, and jade. Which one do you want?"
Listen to yourself, are you even speaking human language? Lin Liuyi is starting to resent the rich.
However, she shook her head. "No, no, it's not that yours aren't enough to pay for; on the contrary, it's precisely because they're too expensive. Just give me some ordinary gold and silver jewelry."
The young lady is still in school, so Wang Xue can handle the matter of exchanging supplies. Lin Liuyi thinks that getting some gold and silver for Aunt Lu is enough.
Su Qiu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Lin Liuyi's request and immediately gave the steward the order.
The butler was also puzzled when he received the message. When did the young lady's taste become so cheap? However, it was an order, so he carried it out perfectly.
Soon, the gold and silver jewelry that Su Qiu had requested was delivered.
Lin Liuyi chose the most ordinary silver bracelet and gold ring. The wide bracelet was decorated with only some auspicious cloud patterns, and the ring also had only simple patterns.
"Is this all we need? Isn't that too little?" Su Qiu asked, somewhat worried.
No, this young lady really doesn't know the hardships of life, Lin Liuyi thought, wanting to roll her eyes.
She had to pull some strings for Aunt Lu to get a little more; otherwise, how could she afford those two pieces of jewelry with just wild vegetables!
However, she was still a little nicer to customers.
"That's enough. Give me that form, and I'll have someone prepare it for you!"
After receiving the order and returning the diamond bracelet, Lin Liuyi went to tell Aunt Lu the good news.
Coincidentally, Lu Juhua had a good harvest from selling vegetables last time, so she went into the mountains again today.
In addition to the wild vegetables from last time, she also picked some locust flowers this time.
The pure white locust flowers, shaped like tiny bells, emit a faint fragrance, and Lu Juhua is sure they will sell well!
"That's perfect! Give them all to me! And these things on the list, Aunt Lu, see if you have any more!"
Lin Liuyi wanted to give the order to Lu Juhua, but she refused.
What happened? Didn't Aunt Lu say last time that she hoped she would give out more tasks? What's going on?
"No, no," Lu Juhua quickly shook her head. "It's just that I don't know many characters, so you'll have to read the list to me, otherwise I won't be able to read it even if I take it back!"
Lu Juhua said shyly, and Lin Liuyi breathed a sigh of relief. Oh, so that's how it is!
"No problem! Auntie, I'll read it to you once, and you can memorize it!"
After Aunt Lu said she remembered, Lin Liu gave her the gold and silver jewelry he had exchanged.
When she saw the silver bracelet, Aunt Lu's eyes lit up.
When she saw the gold ring, Aunt Lu was even more incredulous.
Lin Liuyi felt that she was about to pounce on her and take a bite. In fact, the first reaction of Aunt Lu when she got the gold ring was to put it in her mouth and take a bite.
When Lu Juhua saw the teeth marks she had made, she felt both happy and heartbroken.
Oh dear, I hope she didn't bite off a small piece of gold with that bite. It would be heartbreaking if she lost even a little bit.
Seeing that Aunt Lu was clutching the gold ring and silver bracelet tightly, Lin Liuyi gave herself a thumbs up for her decision. See? She knew Aunt Lu would like them.
After enjoying them for a while, Lu Juhua still couldn't bear to part with them and wanted to give them to Lin Liuyi.
"What are you doing, ma'am? This is for you!"
"Oh dear, this is too precious! Auntie knows that those elm seeds are definitely not worth this much. It was you who helped me out on June 1st. You should take these things back!" Aunt Lu carefully held the silver bracelet and gold ring, her eyes full of reluctance and regret.
"Auntie, what do I need them for? Besides, I really traded those things for them. These are all the items on the list that others wanted. You just need to prepare the items, and all this gold and silver is yours!"
"But, but..."
Aunt Lu wanted to refuse, but Lin Liuyi persuaded her to stay.
