In fact, Li Yu is not without the ability to get money quickly. The disciples of Guihong's sect have to learn all kinds of skills, which naturally include the so-called "wonderful hand empty technique". However, in such an unfamiliar environment, Li Yu does not intend to show his skills lightly, caution is the most important thing for a killer.

Walking slowly in the market of Mingxikou Town, Li Yu carefully observed the surrounding Yiqiē, looking for opportunities. When he walked up to a stall full of antique items, his eyes lit up, and he thought of a way to make money.

"Lao Jia, this big brother, are the objects on your stall for sale?" Li Yu arched his hand to the stall owner who was sitting lazily on the side and asked.

The stall owner, Sun Shan, is a local and used to be a farmer. In recent years, with the popularity of folk collections, more and more people came to Cangmu Mountain to exchange for all kinds of antique treasures, Sun Shan simply handed over his own fields to his neighbors to cultivate, and started the business of buying antiques and reselling them in villages and towns. After working for two years, he has more or less touched some doorways and made some small money. There are only two ways for him to make money, one is to receive some good antiques from unknowledgeable villagers at a lower price, and sell them for a high price; The second is to wholesale some antique fakes from other cultural relics dealers and sell them to those tourists from outside at the price of genuine products.

Cangmu Mountain, in ancient times, was the hiding place of the people to avoid the war, there are quite a few descendants of the rich and noble families in ancient times, in some inconspicuous small villages, occasionally you can also find some valuable ancestral calligraphy and painting, porcelain, furniture, etc., has always been the favorite place of the literary and entertainment world. Because of its fame, many tourists who originally had little ability to distinguish between cultural and playful games are also happy to patrol the stalls here, hoping to get lucky enough to pick up some rare treasures and get rich overnight.

Sun Shan and some other small stall owners took advantage of people's psychology to mix the real and fake goods, and waited for the prey to take the bait in Mingxikou Town. The wholesale price of a Lantian jade wrench produced by a neighboring county craft factory is only more than 20 yuan, but Sun Shan and these people were stunned to be able to fool it into Hetian jade in the Southern Song Dynasty and sell it for a price of several hundred yuan, which also made the buyer secretly happy, feeling that he had picked up a big bargain.

The business of the Mingxikou antique market is generally better on holidays, when there are more tourists, and the really knowledgeable Taobao customers are not very patronized, which is a good time to cheat money. Today is an ordinary working day, and there are no tourists, so Sun Shan didn't pay much attention to his stall, just sat on the side with his mobile phone and swiped WeChat, flirting with a few pink confidants.

Hearing Li Yu's greeting, Sun Shan put down his mobile phone, raised his eyelids and glanced at it, nodded and said, "Yes, it's for sale, what's the matter, what do you like?" ”

Li Yu's peculiar costume did not make Sun Shan feel anything unusual, and he also imagined Li Yu in his heart as a Taoist priest from the Taoist temple in the mountains. He saw that Li Yu's face was extremely young, and the texture of his clothes was obviously a native cloth from the countryside, and he knew that this was not a rich man. He has never been interested in such customers.

"How much does this bracelet sell for?"

Li Yu seemed to inadvertently pick up a silver bracelet from the stall and asked Sun Shan.

"You want this bracelet?" Sun Shan looked at Li Yu seriously, and then asked tentatively, "What's the matter, you took a fancy to this bracelet?" ”

Of course, these antique stalls in Mingxikou will not all be fakes, and if so, it will be difficult to attract real ancient players, so that ordinary tourists will not be fooled. The practice of Sun Shan and these people is to mix some real antiques with a large number of fakes, so that those who know the real thing can choose the real ones from them, creating an illusion that they can pick up the leaks, so that ordinary tourists will rush to them.

The bracelet that Li Yu picked out happened to be one of the real products that Sun Shan mixed in. Of course, even if it is genuine, the price that Sun Shan collected is not high, it only costs 200 yuan, and in his experience, this silver bracelet in the late Ming Dynasty can be sold for at least 2000 yuan, which is at least 10 times the profit.

Sun Shan was surprised because Li Yu didn't stay in front of his stall for too long, almost glanced at it, and picked out this bracelet from a pile of goods.

How did he know that Li Yu, as a professional killer, has also received professional training in cultural and entertainment appreciation. When he was 13 years old, he worked as an undercover agent in a cultural entertainment store for half a year as a young man, figured out the law of a target's actions, and provided information for the senior brothers to assassinate this target. During the period of working in that cultural toy shop, he could see the tricks in the cultural toy shop clearly, and it can be said politely that the tricks that Sun Shan is playing now are just the leftovers of the people back then.

"What, isn't this bracelet for sale?" Li Yu asked lightly.

"Sell, why don't you sell." Sun Shan replied briskly, and then he said in an emotional tone: "Little brother, I can't see it, my eyesight is really good." This bracelet is the treasure of my town store, handed down from the Kaiyuan era, and it may have been worn by Yang Guifei. You calculate, Tang Xuanzong will pass on to the present, almost ...... It's 1300 years, isn't it? If you meet someone who knows how to collect, it's worth a lot of money. ”

"You mean, there is a ...... from the present in the Kaiyuan period 1300 years? The corners of Li Yu's mouth twitched slightly, and he confirmed quietly.

"Isn't it?" Sun Shan said, "The Kaiyuan period is from 713 to 741, and now it is 2012, if you subtract it, is it 1300 years?" ”

Since he started the antique industry, Sun Shan has also learned a lot of things, first of all, he remembers the historical era name, and secondly, he can tell a variety of historical stories. When he was patronized by foreign guests, he could even speak a few simple foreign languages. Or how can people say that interest is the best teacher?

713 ......

...... 2012

Li Yu didn't know what era Sun Shan used, but he knew very well how many years Tang Xuanzong was from his era. According to the epoch method used by Sun Shan, if the Kaiyuan year was 713, then Li Yu's era should be around 1632. And Sun Shan said that it is 2012, that is to say, he has slept in the tomb of that bastard pharmacist for 380 years!

370 years...... Stepfather Han Zhi and his brothers and sisters should have turned to dust, right? In this world, I have no relatives or friends.

Although he had already guessed this result, once it was confirmed, Li Yu's heart couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness. Thinking of those eventful years, those grievances and hatreds, which turned into dust in a blink of an eye, Li Yu was a little dazed for a while.

"Little brother, what do you want?"

Seeing that Li Yu was a little distracted, Sun Shan asked with some puzzlement.

"Oh, I thought of something else." Li Yu came back to his senses all of a sudden, this is not an occasion to feel nostalgic, he must hide all his feelings, otherwise he is afraid that he will be arrested as a monster and watched. He smiled and asked Sun Shan, "So, dare to ask how much this bracelet sells for?" ”

Sun Shan pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Oh, this is you who came to ask, when I saw you, I felt that I fell in love with me." It's a bit of a shame to quote too high a price, isn't it? That's it, I took this bracelet for 10,000 5, you add 2 percent, 10,000 8 you take it, I count it as a friend, how about it? ”

"18,000?"

Li Yu smiled slightly. At that moment now, he had already observed the price of goods in the town, the price of a meat bun was 1 yuan, and the price of that year was 2 yuan, according to this calculation, 1 tael of silver back then, equivalent to today's currency is 500 yuan. 10,008 is equivalent to 36 taels of silver, what is the difference between buying such a poorly made late Ming bracelet and robbing money?

"Big brother, what you just quoted is the price in the Kaiyuan period, right? If this bracelet is from the Wanli period, how much should it be worth? Li Yu asked.

"Wanli ......" Sun Shan was a little embarrassed, of course he knew that this bracelet was the color of the middle and late Ming Dynasty, although he couldn't say whether it was Wanli or the Apocalypse, but it was 900 years away from the Tang Kaiyuan period he claimed. The young man in front of him is not in a hurry or impatient, and he can break this bracelet with one mouth, which really makes him unable to cheat if he wants to.

"Even if it's from Wanli, it's more than 400 years old, isn't it?" Sun Shan said cheekily, "If you sincerely want it, you can take 5,000 yuan." ”

"5,000 bucks?" Li Yu repeated Sun Shan's offer, and then said: "If a silver bracelet in the Wanli period can be worth 5,000 yuan, then I have a gold bracelet in the Wanli year, the workmanship is better than this, and the weight is heavier than it, are you willing to accept it?" ”

Antique stalls are generally both sold and collected, and the things collected can be sold at a higher price, and the stall owners rely on the difference in price of this resale to make money, which Li Yu has long known. He asked Sun Shan for a price, in fact, he wanted to estimate how much the few pieces of jewelry he had on hand could be worth in today's era. If he can sell these jewelry, his livelihood will not be a problem in the short term.

Hearing Li Yu say this, Sun Shan also understood. The co-author of this boy is not here to buy things, but to sell things. Looking at his poor appearance, coupled with a Taoist outfit, maybe the little Taoist priest in the Taoist temple stole the master's things and went down the mountain to sell them, something like this, Sun Shan has encountered it more than once.

"You have a gold bracelet? Show me, if the condition is good, I can give you a high price. Sun Shan stretched out his hand to Li Yu and said.

Li Yu took out a gold bracelet from his arms and handed it to Sun Shan's hand. Sun Shan took it and looked at it, and immediately froze, the brilliant golden light almost blinded his eyes.
