Chapter 499 It cost a lot of money
Looking at the silver lockets on the three people's necks, she felt that this one was really different. They all looked a lot richer and nodded with satisfaction. Then she said that the things she picked were obviously very beautiful.
Li looked back and picked a large and exquisite gold locket from the plate and hung it around her neck. "My brothers wear silver ones, you wear the gold one. No one can take it off your neck anyway."
Zhou Guo felt his neck sink, "Mom, how about you pick a smaller one for me?"
Li said, "This one is small enough. Look, it's so pretty. Wear it and it will look so pretty."
After picking out the things for Zhou Xing, she pointed at Zhou Guo and asked the waiter, "What kind of jewelry do young ladies of their age usually have?"
The young man was so excited that he said incoherently, "Yes, yes, yes, we have both big and small ladies."
She turned around and brought out another set of jewelry suitable for little girls, all decorated with pearls, gold threads, kingfisher feathers, and gemstones...
They all look good.
Not only Zhou Guo, but also Li and Zhou Xing, who only liked real gold jewelry, narrowed their eyes, thinking that each of them was too beautiful.
Seeing this, the waiter brought out another plate, also with some pearl flowers, and said, "These can be worn not only by young ladies, but also by ladies."
Zhou Guo was holding a necklace made of beads of different sizes. It was so small, it must be worn on the head, it looked beautiful!
Li rarely complained that it was not made of gold, and said happily: "This is really nice, it is just right for a little girl like you, I want this."
Zhou Xing smiled and said, "Yes, it looks good. When her hair grows longer and can be tied up, she can wear it. If I make her two nice dresses, she will be a beautiful young lady."
Zhou Guo couldn't help but touch his hair, he was quite looking forward to it.
Several people picked out a jade pendant for Zhou and Mai respectively. After all, they were scholars. Although they could not afford expensive ones, they could still buy two ordinary ones.
I also bought a hairpin for Zhou Gu. I bought everything because he couldn't be without it.
Zhou Guo thought that since the whole family had bought something, the old man couldn't be without it, so he picked out a ring, which was in excellent condition.
She had a ring in her hand, which was given to her by Uncle Zheng. But since it was given to her by someone, she couldn't just give it to the old man. It would be better for her to buy a new one. Upon closer inspection, this one was not much worse than the other one.
But the price is not cheap, just this ring costs eighty taels of silver.
It is almost worth all the jewelry they have chosen, but there is no other way. The old man is so old, he can't go out wearing a shabby piece. If others see it, they will laugh their heads off.
She thinks that if you want to wear something, you should either not wear it or not wear it. Even if it’s not the best, it’s not bad either.
The last one was Zhou Dacang. The whole family had bought something, but even though he was not at home, he couldn’t be missing, so he asked for a jade hairpin.
Then she thought of her uncles, and she bought one for each of them. Although it was not expensive and the quality was not the best, it was a token of her thoughtfulness.
These things cost them a total of one hundred and ninety taels of silver!
The young man was so happy that he was silly. His hands were shaking when he was calculating the bill. He didn't expect that they could really afford it. He didn't know how lucky he was today to meet a big buyer. This was the first big order he handled.
Unfortunately, before the bill was settled, it was intercepted by the shopkeeper.
When Zhou Guo saw this, she didn't hold back and started to bargain. After all, she had done some big business and had personally negotiated the deals with several big restaurants. Now her bargaining skills were no less than Zhou Mi's.
After a heated exchange of words, Zhou Guo used the classic threat of "If you don't sell it, I'll go to another store. Anyway, you're not the only store in the city" and succeeded in making the shopkeeper pay nearly ten taels of silver. He also got four head flowers and two silver bracelets in return. He returned home with a full load.
Zhou Guo immediately handed the two silver bracelets to Zhou Xing, "Sister, here you go, wear them."
Zhou Xing didn't hesitate and put one on herself and put the other on her mother's hand. Now they both had silver bracelets on their hands.
While the shopkeeper was packing the boxes for them, he kept muttering in pain, "How can you bargain like this? The young lady is really an expert at bargaining."
Zhou Guo ignored him. Looking at his skillful techniques, she knew that he was very happy. She didn't know how much money he had made from her.
Li's hands were shaking as she took out the money. She had never spent money so lavishly in her life. If the child's father, her mother-in-law and her father-in-law knew about this, they would definitely scold her for being a spendthrift.
They spent one hundred and eighty taels in one go. In previous years, their family could only spend two strings of silver a year, which is almost the annual expenditure of seventy or eighty households in the countryside!
Zhou Guo comforted her, "Mom, it's okay. Anyway, we bought gold, silver, or beads. Apart from beads, these things are all valuable. Even if there is something urgent at home in the future, we can sell them! This is just a different way to save money. The money is still the same, and we didn't spend much. We can still wear it out!"
Zhou Su nodded repeatedly, as if this was the truth. Gold and silver jewelry could be sold for a lot of money. Even if it had to be discounted, it was still much better than other things.
Li smiled and said, "According to what you said, we didn't buy enough. We should buy more."
Zhou Guo said: "That's not the way to calculate it. No matter what, we still have to keep some money. I still want to buy land."
It would be useless if we just keep all that money in our hands. It would be more cost-effective to buy land. "Why don't we just go to the capital city these two days to see if there are any shops for sale. We can buy a few shops. Even if there are no shops, a house will do."
When they heard that she was going to buy a shop and a house again, they were stunned. "We are not going to live in the village anymore? Are we going to move to the capital?"
To be honest, they are a little reluctant to leave. They have been used to living in the village and can go up the mountain. "What if the pine mushrooms come out next year?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Who says that after buying a shop or house, I have to run it and live in it myself? Can't I rent it out and collect rent? Even if the house can't be rented out, we will have a place to live when we come to the capital in the future. That's it. Let's see if there are any vacant shops for sale along the way."
Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You just want to do whatever you want. You're going to buy it just because you say so?"
Zhou Guo said: "I didn't do it on a whim. I had thought about it a long time ago. Mom, you said that this money is dead if we hold it in our hands. We have to find a way to make money from it. We don't have any other skills. The simplest way is to buy a shop and rent it out to collect rent. In this way, even if we do nothing at home, we can still have money every month. How great!"
Li and Zhou Xing were both tempted by this. It made sense. Which of those wealthy families didn't have a shop or a house? But, "I just don't know if I can rent it out. What if no one rents it?"
