Chapter 14 Antique Market!
Yihai City, as a coastal city in China, has developed impressively in the past two years with various national welfare policies since the reform and opening up, leaping from a third-tier city to a second-tier city.
As the saying goes, the poor play gold, the rich play jade, and when people live well, there will naturally be a variety of entertainment markets. And at this moment, the place where Bai Xiu and Mo Rou appeared is the most concentrated and lively entertainment venue in Yihai City-antique market!
Here, it is a good place for almost all collectors and treasure hunters to hang out, and it is also a place where opportunities and traps coexist, happiness and loss coexist.
There are so many types of collectibles on the market that it is possible to find almost any collectible item imaginable. As long as collectors are careful, they will basically not leave empty-handed.
Jade, bronze, coins, wood, porcelain, silverware, miscellaneous pieces, calligraphy and paintings, villain books...... There are so many types of shops in the market, but there are not many that specialize in antiques, and there are also some shops that do teahouses and coffee houses.
Like many collectibles markets in China, there are not too many tourists here, most of them are tourists from other places, but when it comes to weekends or holidays, it must be a different bustling scene.
Most of the time it was very crowded like it is now, on the one hand, on the one hand, many people have time to try their luck on weekends and holidays to see if they can find a satisfactory collection.
On the other hand, many small vendors in the surrounding area also come to visit, and a newspaper or a piece of flannel has become a counter, and all kinds of old gadgets are placed on the top, and a small stool is made to sit in the back, and the business is considered open.
Although it was a hot June, the streets were crowded with people, and hot smiling faces flashed from time to time. Today happens to be a Sunday, and because of this, the antique market is surprisingly lively.
Not only locals will come here, but even many outsiders will rush to try their luck, even if they can't find good things, it is also very good to see and see.
On the streets of Qingshi, looking at the crowd of people coming and going, Mo Rou's small mouth became O-shaped, she has lived in Yihai City for more than three years, and she never knew that there was such a good place. At that moment, there was a look of excitement in her eyes, like a little girl, surprised, and without saying a word, she pulled Bai Xiu, who was 'in a daze' on the side, into the flow of people.
No one noticed that the moment they mixed into the flow of people, Bai Xiu's eyes showed an unbelievable look of surprise. Just now, just now, his divine sense clearly sensed that a faint aura filled this heaven and earth.
This is the first time he has come to Earth to perceive the existence of Reiki so clearly, and there is only one explanation for this phenomenon, that is, there are spiritual objects here, and there is more than one.
Following the flow of people, Bai Xiu's eyes swirled, constantly sweeping the stalls on both sides of the street, along with the street shops. At the same time, the consciousness in the mind is emanated, and the carpet search for the emanation of the spiritual energy.
"Ah, Brother Xiu, look at this thing!"
While walking, Mo Rou suddenly let out a surprise call and squatted in front of a small stall. Bai Xiu's eyes also fell on the stall, and saw Mo Rou grabbing a small object on the stall.
It was a jade object the size of a thumb, and the whole jade was carved into the shape of a tiger, beautifully carved, finely made, and crystal clear under the sun.
"Miss, you are really a good eye, this is the tiger zodiac in the zodiac, the whole market will not be able to find the second one, after this village there will be no this shop!
Seeing the look of surprise in Mo Rou's eyes, the stall owner immediately said, what they do is an eyesight job, and people who don't understand eyesight should roll up and roll people as soon as possible.
Women are naturally interested in some small objects, shiny things, and the workmanship of this tiger zodiac is really good, the stall owner immediately praised it, and his eyes narrowed into a slit.
"This thing is so beautiful, how much does it cost?" Mo Rou's eyes did not hide the color of love, her zodiac happened to belong to the tiger.
"Not much, two thousand! Miss Pei, you really complement each other!" said the stall owner with a smile, a glint flashing in his small eyes.
"Two thousand ......" Mo Rou hesitated when she heard this price, she really likes this ornament, but she has always lived a frugal life, and sometimes she is reluctant to buy even a beautiful dress, let alone such an expensive thing.
"Can it be cheaper, it's only two thousand ...... for such a small thing," Mo Rou asked the stall owner.
The stall owner looked hesitant, and after a long while, his face showed a look of pain, and he patted his thigh and said: "That's it! Miss, looking at your face, I must rarely come here to string it, for the sake of your next return, I will bleed once today, one thousand six! One thousand six you take it!"
As he spoke, the stall owner took out a box of red silk ribbons from under his buttocks, and prepared to wrap the Tiger Zodiac.
Bai Xiu, who had been watching quietly behind Mo Rou, couldn't cry or laugh, took a step forward and squatted on the ground, and whispered to the stall owner: "Don't mind, big brother! If this price is really a good piece of jade, then we will buy it without saying a word, but when will glass be sold as jade?"
"This ...... Feelings have met experts, you two go well, don't send it!"
As soon as Bai Xiu's words fell, the stall owner was stunned, then showed a wry smile, shook his head and sighed, knowing that he had blown his mouth in vain just now, but he didn't expect to meet someone in the industry.
"Alas, aren't you a partial!" Although Bai Xiu's words were low, Mo Rou beside him also heard it, and when she heard this, her face was full of anger and she shouted loudly.
If it weren't for Bai Xiu, she was really going to buy the tiger zodiac for 1,006, if others knew that they bought a broken glass for 1,006, it wouldn't make people laugh to death.
"I said, Miss, don't wait for you to talk like this! How can you call it a deception if you are willing to do so, please be careful when you speak!"
Mo Rou's words immediately made the stall owner dissatisfied, just now he was an amiable neighbor, but in the blink of an eye, he became a vicious and vicious man.
"Okay, big brother, you don't see that she is a Zou in this business, why bother with a person who doesn't know how to do it. In this way, we are also fated to meet, and today I will buy something from you, so I should make friends. Well...... I'll choose this one, big brother, you offer a sincere price. ”
Bai Xiu said with a smile, his eyes wandering around the stall as he spoke. The stall is very messy, with a pile of copper coins on the left, bronze objects in the middle, and bamboo carvings on the right.
Bai Xiu's fingers touched east and west, as if picking something, and finally when his fingers fell on a pile of copper coins, he paused slightly, and then flipped his fingers and picked up a copper coin from inside.
This copper coin, black and yellow, has rusted in many places, and in some places even the handwriting is blurred, and no one has picked it up even if it is still on the street.
"Well, this little brother knows how to do things. ”
Bai Xiu's words made the stall owner's face look much better, his eyes stared at the copper coin in Bai Xiu's hand for a long time, he remembered that this copper coin seemed to be inadvertently picked up when he went to Wutai Mountain in Shanxi Province once, and then put it in his pile of goods.
During this period, some people have picked it up and seen it, but no one has taken a fancy to it, and it is still like garbage, and no one cares about it.
"Look at the little brother, you are also an expert, give this copper coin a cost price, two hundred! I should also make you a friend." The stall owner said cheerfully.
"Okay, two hundred is two hundred!"
Bai Xiu didn't have any counteroffer, and immediately took out two hundred yuan and handed it to the stall owner, the stall owner took it with a smile, and his heart was overjoyed, he didn't expect to earn two hundred oceans for nothing today, and it seemed that he could go to Xiaoli's prodigal hooves to vent his anger at night.
"Bai Xiu, ...... you" Mo Rou saw Bai Xiu's movements, showing a puzzled look, she didn't understand why Bai Xiu would spend two hundred yuan to buy a broken copper coin, although two hundred yuan was really not much, but she couldn't get used to the stall owner's face.
Bai Xiu smiled and shook his head, his fingers rubbed the copper coin in his hand, and just as he stood up and was about to leave, a faint voice came from beside him.
"I want this copper coin, how much do you want to sell it?"
Bai Xiu turned his head and saw that behind him, there was already a group of men and women standing at some point, about a dozen people, all brightly dressed and with extraordinary temperament.
The man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, standing there is like a landscape, attracting the attention of many pedestrians who come and go.
It was a tall and handsome young man who spoke, his eyes were firmly fixed on the copper coin in Bai Xiu's hand, his eyes showed shock, doubt, and incredible emotions, and he reluctantly left after a long while. His eyes fell on Bai Xiu, with an arrogant expression, mixed with a touch of contempt, which is a common characteristic of rich boys.
Awakened by the sudden voice behind her, Mo Rou also stood up, and when she saw a group of young men and women, her eyes showed doubt, but her steps took a step back, standing beside Bai Xiu.
Bai Xiu's eyes swept lightly over the group of young men and women in front of him, and he clearly saw that the eyes of this group of brightly dressed men and women looking at him were full of meanings, disdainful, indifferent, and playful......
"Not for sale!" An extremely affirmative voice spit out, and Bai Xiu said to Mo Rou beside him: "Let's go!"
"I'll give 100,000!"
The voice of the young brother behind him came, and Bai Xiu's footsteps continued without the slightest pause.
"A million!"
Bai Xiu stopped and turned around.
The handsome young man looked arrogant, and the contempt in his eyes was undisguised, and the group of men and women around him also had the same expression.
Million!
One million is indeed an astronomical amount for ordinary people, and some people can't earn a million even if they are tired and tired for a lifetime. However, for them, it is just a month's worth of pocket money, or even less.
