Chapter 19: Who's the Rookie
Rao has been practicing stalls for 20 years, and there is no truth in his mouth.
was also a little blushing by Ling Qi's praise.
If it weren't for his bad business today, he wouldn't have bothered to take care of this tender chicken who didn't have much money at first glance.
Moreover, has this kid ever understood the market of ancient money!
A few hundred yuan is considered a normal price, as long as the eyesight is okay, you can buy real copper coins for a few hundred yuan.
And he asked for twenty yuan, almost telling everyone that he was a fake!
Generally, people who are a little more knowledgeable will know it when they hear this price.
It's just that this stunned young man doesn't know anything about the market, and he praises him so sincerely.
The stall owners who boasted were embarrassed.
So when he saw Ling Qi turning over the pile of Five Emperor Coins vigorously, he didn't say much.
If it was an ordinary rookie who turned over his stall like this, he would have turned his face a long time ago.
And Shi Wanyun, who was following behind Ling Qi, had a very complicated face.
She wanted to pull Ling Qi away very much, Ling Qi didn't know how to do it, but she understood.
Although she is also half a bucket of water, she knows that the Five Emperors cannot be bought for twenty yuan.
But the most basic requirement of the rules of the antique street is to see through it and not say it.
Therefore, Shi Wanyun couldn't remind him clearly, so he could only keep making small moves behind Ling Qi.
Ling Qi was not a dead person, of course, he sensed Shi Wanyun's intentions at the first time.
However, he didn't want to tell Shi Wanyun that he had found a treasure here with his ability.
I can only pretend to be stupid: "Why are you poking me! Stay there, I'll buy a few coins and leave." ”
As soon as these words came out, the ancient money stall owner looked at Shi Wanyun with meaningful eyes.
Shi Wanyun's pretty face suddenly turned red.
It's a shame!
The stall owner must have discovered her intentions!
Why doesn't he understand!
Forget it, she has done her best, he is willing to be deceived, and she can't help it!
Thinking of this, she snorted angrily and ignored Ling Qi anymore.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was bothered, Ling Qi forced Ling Qi into his eyes again, and quickly rummaged through the pile of ancient money.
After flipping through it for a while, he finally found the green smoke as thin as silk, and he quietly squeezed it in his hand, along with the other seventeen coins he had chosen at random.
The stall owner glanced at it casually, accepted the money handed over by Ling Qi, and said, "Eighteen pieces, three hundred and six, I will charge you three hundred and five, you should make friends, okay!"
"Thank you so much, you're such a nice guy. ”
Ling Qi still praised the stall owner with a silly face.
The stall owner couldn't stand it any longer, rolled up the stall, and ran away.
Seeing that the stall owner was gone, Shi Wanyun could finally speak, she didn't say a word, she directly nodded Ling Qi's arm, hated iron and said: "Are you stupid! His ancient money is so cheap, it's all fake!"
"I know. ”
Who knows, Ling Qi actually came out with such a sentence lightly.
made Shi Wanyun's stomach instantly hold back.
After a half-sound, she stared at the water and asked curiously, "I know you still buy it?"
"You'll find out in a moment. Ling Qi didn't bother to explain, and directly pulled Shi Wanyun into the largest antique shop in the antique street, Jubao Zhai!
Although it is now dusk, the entire antique street is deserted.
But the Treasure Pavilion is brightly lit, and there is an endless stream of wealthy dignitaries coming and going.
The style of a big store.
The boss who was greeting the guests saw Shi Wanyun and others coming in in a blink of an eye, he didn't say a word, entrusted the guests he was entertaining to the clerk, and he greeted him warmly.
"Miss Shi, why do you have time to come to my small shop......
"If you're a small shop here, then the other antique shops don't know what to do with themselves. ”
Shi Wanyun is obviously very familiar with the boss, she speaks very easily, and she is also very familiar with this place, she greeted the boss, and she didn't need to be led by others, so she went directly to the second floor and said to the boss who followed them: "You bring your best jade jewelry here, my grandfather is about to celebrate his birthday, and I am going to give my grandfather a piece of jade." ”
When the boss heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll go get it." ”
As he spoke, he walked away with a little excitement.
"Why is he so excited?" Ling Qi asked Shi Wanyun curiously.
"Could it be that their business is not good?"
Otherwise, it's just a good piece of jade, how can the boss be excited like this.
When Shi Wanyun heard this, she smiled and said, "It's not what you think, this Jubaozhai is the most lively antique shop in Qingping City." ”
"There are dozens of antiques for sale here every day, and the daily bills are estimated to be hundreds of thousands. ”
"Then why did he ......" Ling Qi raised his eyebrows.
According to Shi Wanyun's statement, the boss's business is so good, how can he be happy because of a jade?
"Although business here is good, there are still very few sales of top-notch cultural toys. ”
"After all, it is rare to encounter hundreds of thousands of high-rollers who buy literature and play at every turn. ”
Speaking of this, Ling Qi realized that the original antique shop was not what he imagined, it would not open for three years, and it would open for three years.
While the two were talking, the boss had already come over again, carefully placed a brocade box on the coffee table, and opened it gently.
A glossy light instantly spilled out.
"Wow!"
With this clear light, Shi Wanyun couldn't help but be very amazed.
Immediately full of anticipation for the jade brought by the boss.
As a poor man, Ling Qi had never seen the so-called high-end antique jade at all, and he stared at the brocade box intently.
The boss was very proud when he saw the state of the two people, and slowly opened the brocade box.
When the brocade box was opened, the jade inside was completely displayed in front of everyone.
"Wow-"
Shi Wanyun and Ling Qi couldn't help but exclaim.
I saw that there was a beast head agate cup quietly placed in the brocade box, it was a pretty jade carving, the carving technique was very exquisite, the beast head was inlaid with gold, lifelike.
The material of agate is red agate, because the color of this agate is not blindly bright, but dark and light, and even mixed with white in the middle.
However, according to the gradient of the color of the agate, the craftsman skillfully carved the various organs of the beast's head, so that the entire beast head agate cup looks as if it naturally grew into the shape of the beast's head.
This agate cup, whether it is carved, agate material, or design, is the best.
The boss explained: "Miss Shi said that it was Mr. Shi's birthday, and it was appropriate to give this beast head agate." ”
"This beast head agate in ancient times, is used for sacrifice, itself is very precious, in addition to it because it is a sacrificial article, the legend is blessed by the gods, just to bless Mr. Shi longevity and health. ”
In fact, there is no need for the boss to say more, Shi Wanyun immediately liked this wine glass when she saw the beast head agate for the first time, and she couldn't wait to ask: "How much is this agate cup?"
When the boss saw Shi Wanyun's performance, he immediately had a bottom in his heart, he touched his chin, pretended to be silent for a moment, and said, "One million!"
"What!?"
Ling Qi and Shi Wanyun exclaimed at the same time.
"Why don't you grab it?" Ling Qi couldn't help but blurt out.
In his limited life of more than ten years, he didn't even know what a million looked like.
This looks like a beautifully carved agate cup!
Anywhere is worth a million!
He is a novice in antiques and knows that agate is definitely not worth as much as good jade!
He had only heard of an inch of Hetian jade and an inch of gold before.
I've never heard of an inch of agate and an inch of gold.
This boss is too black-hearted!
No wonder I was so happy to hear that Shi Wanyun wanted to buy jade!
If he encounters such a wronged boss in business, he will be very happy!
How much money can such a palm-sized piece of agate have, this carver, he can carve it out!
This is not Ling Qi's big words, in the inheritance of the Golden Fox Neidan, there are indeed carving-related techniques.
It's just that Ling Qi has never been in contact with this industry before, and he doesn't know how to make money in this industry.
The inheritance in the Golden Fox Inner Pill is naturally more subtle than the inheritance of mortals!
So Ling Qi's idea is not wrong.
Although Shi Wanyun was not as ignorant as Ling Qi, she also thought that this agate cup was not worth a million.
The boss looked at the faces of the two of them, and immediately guessed their thoughts, and he quickly explained: "Don't be impatient, listen to me tell you." Do you know that there is a Tang beast head agate cup hidden in the Shaanxi Museum!"
"Listening to those archaeologists, this agate cup was handed down from the Western Regions, there are not many of them, the most precious ones are hidden in museums, and the rest of the second class is circulated in the market. ”
"This agate cup is the only treasure I have come across in the 30 years since I opened the store! it would be difficult to miss this one, and then find such a precious wine bottle......
Shi Wanyun listened, and unconsciously bit her lip, although the boss asks for a high price, the things she buys here are not bad, and the boss is also credible, so it is unlikely to deceive her.
Although a million is expensive, if it is really as the boss said, it is worth the price.
Shi Wanyun hesitated for a moment.
And Ling Qi saw that Shi Wanyun seemed to be a little moved, and he couldn't help frowning.
He really didn't think that this beast head agate cup was worth the price.
But why it's not worth it, he can't say......
I can't say that his carving is better than this, it will definitely make others laugh at it.
By the way, Ling Qi suddenly remembered that he still had special abilities!
Didn't he come to this antique street to pick up the leak with his ability?
Now it's time to use the ability to confirm whether this beast head agate is a treasure or not!
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated, and directly forced the aura to the eyes.
In the next second, the scene in front of him immediately changed.
Green smoke was wafting all over the room.
Sure enough, as Shi Wanyun said, there are many treasures in this Jubao Zhai.
He ignored the smoke in the room and looked directly at the beast's head agate.
At a glance, Ling Qi couldn't help frowning.
I saw that the beast head agate cup was all over the body, and there was only a very thin wisp of green smoke, which was as thick as the green smoke of the copper coin he picked up and leaked at the copper coin stall outside!
Is such a thing worth a million?
He withdrew the aura and looked at it with the naked eye, and the beast head agate cup was under the crystal lamp, jewels and shining extraordinarily.
Ling Qi was speechless.
At this time, Shi Wanyun finally thought about it clearly, and she spoke directly: "Then the boss will help me wrap it up." ”
The boss was overjoyed when he heard this, he couldn't imagine that this Shi family was so wealthy, and he wanted a million things, and he said that he wanted it.
Thinking like this, the boss's movements were not slow at all, and he hurriedly covered the brocade box of the beast head agate and packaged it for Shi Wanyun.
But at this moment, a voice suddenly came from the staircase: "Wait a minute! Boss, what good things are you hiding!"
