The gold in Ye Qiu's possession was specially selected by him to be without any distinct marks from specific eras, so when the Shopkeeper asked about it, he shook his head.
"I'm not sure from which dynasty it's from; there's no mark on it, only some patterns. You have a keen eye, Shopkeeper." Saying this, he took the gold bar out of his pocket.
The quality of the gold bar was still very well preserved. The Shopkeeper's eyes lit up as he hurriedly took it and inspected it carefully, but with his experience, he could not discern much, and thus he sighed in regret.
"There are no special marks on it, so we can only calculate the price based on the current gold price. By rule, the price I offer is slightly lower than the market rate, but since your gold bar is of fine quality, I can give you the market price. What do you think?"
"You are too kind, Shopkeeper; let's go with that price," Ye Qiu agreed without objections.
