Chapter Seventy-One: Ornamentation

After chatting with the fat man for a while, Fang Yi went to the market again, he now needs to buy more beads, go back and do it again, and see what state he is in, so as to trigger the skill that makes objects vicissitudes of time.

This time, Fang Yi did not enter the store, but looked for it on the stalls, and visited a few stalls one after another, Fang Yi was a little surprised to hear that the stall owners were talking about Gu Guoguang, of course, almost everyone was falling into the ground, Fang Yi didn't hear a good word about Gu Guoguang.

Although the events of that day were in an uproar, in this huge antique market, there may be many people who know the fat man and the three guns, but there are few people who know Fang Yi, and those stall owners only think that Fang Yi is a student who came to hang out, and they don't take him into account when they talk.

"Do you know that Deputy Curator Wu was also brought in yesterday...... "A stall owner said mysteriously: "I heard that Gu Guoguang was promoted by him, and half of the money Gu Guoguang made in this market was filial piety to Deputy Curator Wu......"

"Grandma, you deserve it, how much blood has the surname Gu sucked us in the past few years?"

Another stall owner scolded indignantly, you know, in the antique market stalls, pay the stall fee is only the most basic money, in addition to such as sanitation fees, fire fees and so on, the most annoying thing is that Gu Guoguang has a few enterprises to pay for sewage fees, this antique market is not a factory, where does the waste pollution come from.

"Who said it wasn't, the police came to investigate yesterday, and I told all those things, and it was best to sentence this grandson for a few more years......"

It seems that Gu Guoguang is indeed hated, and the entire antique market applauded Gu Guoguang's arrest, and some of them were bolder, and even went to the police station to report some of Gu Guoguang's violations of discipline.

"The cause was planted the day before yesterday, and the result is obtained today, and the karma is really unpleasant......"

After hearing the conversation of those people, Fang Yi knew that Gu Guoguang had recruited everything on the second day after he entered, and he was not only guilty of accepting bribes, but also used the proceeds of bribery to bribe a certain leader of the museum, so that the leader was also brought into the bureau yesterday.

"Hey, I said brothers, are you still in business?"

Seeing that those people were chatting energetically, and no one came to greet him, Fang Yi picked two strings of one hundred and eight small leaf red sandalwood, two strings of small King Kong and four strings of Xingyue Bodhi, and said, "These eight strings of one thousand yuan, boss, do you sell them?"

Judging from the sales situation in the past few days, Xingyue Bodhi should be the best selling thing, followed by the hanging strings of Little King Kong, and most of the people who bought the small leaf red sandalwood were men, and Fang Yi only took two strings of small leaf red sandalwood as an experiment.

"Eight strings of one thousand, a little less, right? one thousand and five, you take ......" Seeing that the business was coming, a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man hurriedly ran over, and after glancing at the beads in Fang Yi's hand, he offered a price.

"Big brother, your Xingyue is a Vietnamese seed, and the purchase price is no more than fifty, right?" Fang Yi weighed the beads in his hand and said, "This small leaf red sandalwood is also made of leftovers, I will give you a thousand and you will earn at least half of it, if you don't sell it, I will go find someone else......

As the saying goes, the master leads the door to practice in an individual, after hearing so much knowledge of literature and play from the mouths of Zhao Hongtao and Sun Lao of the Manchu army, Fang Yi can see at a glance that the Xingyue Bodhi is not produced in Hainan, in Zhao Hongtao's words, such things can be seen everywhere in Panjiayuan.

"Oh, you're a connoisseur......"

As soon as the young man heard Fang Yi's words, he looked at the dark-colored diamond bracelet on Fang Yi's hand, and immediately understood, took the money from Fang Yi's hand with a smile, and said: "I will take the money and you take it, but this year, the price of time and things has increased, and I have earned less than half, which is a hard-earned money......"

"Yes, you can take a bag and put it up for me......" At noon, Fang Yi still had to go to Zhao Hongtao's place to take classes, and it was not convenient to hold these things, after taking the bag with the beads, he simply went back to the place where he lived first.

"How much did these two guys drink yesterday? They haven't woken up yet...... it's already past ten o'clock in the morning, as soon as Fang Yi opened the door, he saw Man Jun lying on the sofa snoring, and then he walked inside, Sun Chao's snoring in the inner bedroom was no less than that of Man Jun.

Fang Yi didn't wake up the two brothers, he went upstairs and put those beads in his room, he had already made a decision when he bought the beads, these beads that were real yàn would be destroyed by Fang Yi in the end, otherwise there would be seven or eight more strings of old objects at once, and Fang Yi would not be able to explain it at all.

After closing the door and leaving the courtyard, Fang Yi returned to the market, and it only took half an hour before and after, and when he returned to the stall, the fat man was selling his own beads hard, and from time to time he lifted his clothes to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Business is not good today, it's better to ...... yesterday" Seeing Fang Yi come back, the fat man said: "It seems that the cultural relics are still bought by men, we sold so many strings, except for Officer Bai's order, basically all of them were bought by men......"

"Huazi, that's your problem......" The fat man's complaint attracted the voice of the old horse next to him, originally the day before yesterday the old horse had already called the nickname of the fat man, but after that incident, the old horse changed his words to Huazi again.

"Brother Ma, aren't all things the same?" the fat man asked puzzled, he also wandered around the market, and the skewers sold by others were basically the same as those in his glass cabinet.

"Have you noticed? Many of the beads in other people's homes are ornamented......

Lao Ma had the heart to befriend Fang Yi and others, and pointed to a stall not far from their stall and said: "Look at Lao Li's string of stars and moon, the three common ones of the Buddha's head are ivory fruits, the waist beads are cheap agate, and the top beads are like crane-top red objects, with these things, girls are willing to buy them......"

"Hey, really, it's a lot more beautiful to wear accessories......"

Following Lao Ma's fingers, Fang Yi and the others looked over, and sure enough, as Lao Ma said, just a few simple small objects were added, and the string of stars and moon seemed to be given life, becoming full of aura.

What Fang Yi and the others didn't know was that wearing ornaments was originally an extremely important part of cultural play.

If you want to match the top accessories, I am afraid that the cost of wearing accessories alone can exceed the price of beads by more than ten times or even dozens of times, such as dzi, agate, turquoise and beeswax, which were very precious things even in ancient times.

The goods that the Manchu army bought back then were all plain beads, and he originally planned to buy some more ornaments to wear the beads again, but it happened that the Manchu army encountered an opportunity to do antique business, so he threw these batch of literary beads into the corner of the store, and did not take them out until he met Fang Yi and others.

"Brother Ma, are those ornaments expensive?Where are they sold?" Seeing a girl pick up the stars and moon on Lao Li's stall and wrap them around her wrist, the fat man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he hurriedly asked Lao Ma.

"There are expensive ones and cheap ones, you beads like this, just buy some cheap ornaments, with a string of beads for a maximum of ten yuan......" Lao Ma said: "We have a wholesale market for these gadgets in Jinling, why don't I take you around in the afternoon?"

Lao Ma's stall sells some coins and imitation bronzes, which are some coin enthusiasts who come to his stall to Taobao on weekends.
