Chapter 11: Snobbery
Although he was eager to try, Jiang Ping was still very calm. He knew that the more times like this, the more he couldn't let the stall owner see what he was interested in, otherwise the other party would definitely sit on the ground and raise the price, and it would not be so easy to pick up the leaks.
So Jiang Ping began to look around the stall casually, coupled with his slightly immature appearance, he completely looked like a curious baby.
The stall owner didn't think that this young man who looked like a high school student would really pay for his own things, so he didn't come up to greet Jiang Ping courteously. He just paid a little attention to Jiang Ping and didn't let the young man touch the objects on the stall.
After looking at it for a while, Jiang Ping's eyes fell on the box of snuff bottles. He first picked up a few other snuff boxes and looked at them, but all of them were carefully put back, and finally looked at the white jade snuff box and muttered to himself: "This thing is very interesting, it seems good to buy it back as a birthday gift for grandpa......
Hearing Jiang Ping's self-talk, the stall owner immediately came to his senses, and hurriedly asked him with a smile: "Young man, are you interested in this thing?"
"Think of a birthday present for your grandfather. Jiang Ping began to pretend to be tender again, and asked the stall owner a little shyly: "How do you sell these small bottles?"
"Little ...... Small bottle?!" Jiang Ping's name for the snuff bottle made the stall owner very resentful, and he wanted to popularize basic antique knowledge for him.
However, since this young man is very likely to become the first customer today, in line with the concept of "the customer is God", the stall owner quickly dispelled this idea, and said to Jiang Ping with a smile: "The small bottle you are referring to is something from the Qing Dynasty, and it is also carved from white jade, which is very precious! If you really want it, you can take it for a fixed price, two thousand yuan!"
"Two thousand?!" Jiang Ping jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on, exclaimed in surprise and turned to leave.
In fact, the stall owner also felt that his offer of 2,000 was a bit expensive, he originally wanted to get a few more money on this young layman, but he didn't expect Jiang Ping to leave without a counteroffer. This made the stall owner a little anxious, and hurriedly stopped Jiang Ping: "Young man, don't be in a hurry to leave, the price is negotiable, how much can you say!"
Jiang Ping took out the money that had been placed in his shirt pocket in advance and showed it to the stall owner, and at the same time said with a sincere face: "There are eight hundred yuan here, this is still the New Year's money saved during the New Year, that's all!"
"Eight hundred?" the stall owner wondered, "It's a little less." ”
Jiang Ping said helplessly: "There is no way to do less, I will just pay so much." ”
The stall owner groaned: "Add more, add more and this little bottle will be yours!"
Jiang Ping didn't give an inch: "I'm just a high school student, I just want to buy a birthday gift for my grandfather, and I don't have any more money!"
Jiang Ping's young appearance and skillful acting skills finally deceived the stall owner, and he shook his head helplessly and said: "Yes, for the sake of your filial piety, this 'little bottle' belongs to you, just eight hundred!"
"Thank you, uncle!" Jiang Ping hurriedly handed over the money in his hand to the stall owner, and after taking the white jade snuff bottle, he didn't forget to pretend to be tender and thank the other party.
At this moment, Jiang Ping found that there were still many benefits to having a young appearance, and this time he at least saved hundreds of yuan for himself. If it weren't for the identity of a high school student, it would definitely be impossible to buy this snuffbox at such a low price.
After taking the snuff bottle, Jiang Ping immediately took a closer look, and soon determined that this was not only an object from the early years of the Republic of China, but also a material of Hetian white jade. Although the Hetian white jade used is mountain material instead of seed material, judging from the experience of Jiang Ping's previous life, as long as he finds a buyer who knows the goods, it is really not a problem for this snuff bottle to sell for three or five thousand yuan. Although he didn't make much money, he could be regarded as a leak, which made a good start for Jiang Ping's money-making plan.
Just as Jiang Ping was looking at the snuffbox, he suddenly felt a chill coming out of the snuffbox. The coolness quickly ascended along Jiang Ping's arm, and in a moment, it got into his eyes.
This sudden change startled Jiang Ping, if it weren't for the experience in his previous life that gave him a will as tough as a steel wire and very steady hands, the frightened Jiang Ping might have thrown the white jade snuff box to the ground.
Just when Jiang Ping was shocked, he found that when this coolness entered his eyes, his eyes, which were swollen and sour because he had seen too many people just now, immediately felt much more comfortable. This coolness quickly spread in Jiang Ping's eyes, and the previous discomfort was quickly swept away.
"Could it be that the cool air coming out of the snuffbox can relieve the fatigue of the eyes?" This thought flashed through Jiang Ping's mind, and he hurriedly concentrated on observing the stall owner in front of him.
Jiang Ping was immediately pleasantly surprised by this sight, and he actually saw a faint golden light in the stall owner's seal hall! Although the golden light was fleeting, Jiang Ping could still see it clearly. At this moment, his heart was ecstatic, and he knew that he had finally cracked another secret of his eyes, and found a way to see the light of other people's seals many times.
However, while rejoicing, another question also came to Jiang Ping's mind: if black represents death and red represents a bloody disaster, what is the meaning of this golden light?
With this question, Jiang Ping did not leave immediately, but stayed to watch with interest what would happen to the stall owner next. Jiang Ping didn't wait too long, and soon saw a middle-aged man with a thick gold chain around his neck and several gold rings on his hand coming to the stall.
The man looked east and west in front of the stall, then pointed to one of the big bowls and said to the stall owner: "This is Qianlong's blue and white bowl, right?
As soon as Jiang Ping next to him heard this guy's words, he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "It turned out to be a mallet!"
No matter where you go to buy antiques, you must not tell the age first, which is tantamount to giving the boss a reason to pay a high price. What's more, Jiang Ping could see at a glance that this bowl was a modern imitation, and the imitation was still very rough. This middle-aged man is actually a treasure like this, and he looks like a layman at first glance.
Of course, the stall owner was very happy to meet such customers. He seized the opportunity to talk to the middle-aged man, saying that his own objects were genuine, and praising the other party's good eyesight, after a period of flickering and bargaining, the middle-aged man bought the "Qianlong blue and white bowl" at a price of 8,000 yuan.
Looking at the stall owner who was happily counting the money, Jiang Ping also realized that the golden light represented wealth. However, the most important thing for him is not to know what the golden light means, but to finally be sure that he really has magical abilities.
Jiang Ping, who is a man of two lives, naturally knows in his heart that this ability to see the fortunes of others can definitely bring huge benefits to himself. At this moment, a word suddenly appeared in Jiang Ping's mind, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "Since God has given me such an ability, it is better to ...... Let's call it snobbery!"
