"Thank you, thank you!" the boss smiled cheerfully.
"No need to ask, this must be the spoon that Pan Jinlian used to feed Wu Dalang medicine, right?" Chen Muyu pointed to a spoon next to the bowl.
The iron spoon was as big as an egg, and it had a rusty wooden handle.
"Handsome boy, we are joking, but this thing is not joking at all, you are really an old guy!" the boss said very seriously.
These guys are really good at deceiving people, do they think that all the tourists coming and going are fools and all the rusty ones are old things?
However, many people in their line of business are like this, and they don’t expect repeat customers. Anyway, they can cheat one by one.
"Okay, I'm too lazy to look at this bell, this bowl, and this spoon!" Chen Muyu picked up several things together and glanced over. There was also a two-finger-high tin can in the corner.
He took it over and said, "Just these four, twenty together!"
The boss's honest face trembled slightly, "Handsome guy, why don't you just take two more things if you don't agree?"
Chen Muyu smiled and said, "Boss, are you from Xichuan? We Xichuan people say two, which means a lot..."
Xu Meng beside him couldn't help laughing.
"Oh, this is my first business, forget it, I'll sell it to you at a loss!"
The boss had a bitter look on his face and kept shouting that it was a loss, a loss, but he still pulled a bag over in his hand and quickly put it on Chen Muyu, for fear that Chen Muyu would regret it again.
Losing money? Looking at the boss like that, can you lose money? Maybe you can make ten yuan in return!
Of course, people are in business, and the purpose of doing business is to make money. Chen Muyu also stopped at this point, and if he cuts any more, he will destroy his business.
"Handsome guy, you have such a powerful mouth!" The boss packed the things and handed them over, "This jar has a great origin. When Xiang Yu hosted the Hongmen Banquet for Liu Bang..."
"Okay, okay, boss, your mouth is more powerful, I am willing to be the loser!" Chen Muyu quickly scanned the QR code to pay the bill, and left with Xu Meng.
The boss shouted from behind for the guests to move slowly.
Hey, another scam!
…

"That boss is so funny!" Xu Meng walked away, still smiling.
Chen Muyu shrugged, "Now that I don't have any talent, I don't even dare to set up a stall!"
How should I put it, it’s all forced by life.
"Show me that porcelain bowl!"
Xu Meng shook Chen Muyu's arm. Her major is ceramic art design. She is a graduate student and can be regarded as a semi-expert in porcelain. She has basically dabbled in all the major and small kiln mouth schools in the country.
Chen Muyu opened the bag, and Xu Meng took out the black bowl.
As soon as he got the porcelain bowl, Xu Meng's expression immediately became focused. His serious look made Chen Muyu feel itchy. If there weren't so many people coming and going, he would have wanted to take a bite.
After looking at it for a moment, Xu Meng shook his head, looking a little disappointed, "Local porcelain is produced in our factory. If we sell it in large quantities, it will cost at most one yuan!"
Sure enough, he is an expert. In just a short time, he not only found out that it was produced locally, but also quoted the price.
Afraid that Chen Muyu wouldn't believe it, Xu Meng turned over the porcelain bowl and showed Chen Muyu the bottom of the bowl. There was a small red seal with four seal characters on the bottom of the bowl. Most people could guess one or two of the characters by guessing the fonts.
Come.
"Daguang Craftsmanship!"
It’s clear that it’s a handicraft, and the word Daguang is quite familiar, so it’s probably Zhu Daguang’s factory.
"Sure enough, once the experts take action, they will know whether it is there or not!"
Chen Muyu complimented. Indeed, this porcelain bowl is extremely ordinary. "Then tell me, did I make a loss on these things?"
Xu Meng lowered his head and looked, "Is it possible that you can still pick up leaks at a stall like this?"
"It's not considered a missed opportunity!" Chen Muyu smiled, "Actually, in this world, there is money and opportunities everywhere. Whether you can discover them or not depends on whether you have enough eyesight!"
The porcelain bowl was thrown back into the bag. Xu Meng casually took out the rusty spoon, looked at it, and shook his head.
If it's ceramic, she can still tell one, two, and three. But if it's something else, she can't understand it. "This spoon is full of rust. I don't think it's anything special!"
"Don't look at things by their superficial appearance!"
Chen Muyu took the spoon and said, "This spoon is indeed just an ordinary thing, but the wood of the handle of this spoon is extraordinary!"
"oh?"
Xu Meng was stunned for a moment, then came over and looked at it carefully.
Chen Muyu was also fierce enough. With a gentle tug, he pulled out the part of the spoon stuck in the handle, and threw it into a trash can nearby.
All that was left in his hand was a purple-black wooden handle that was about one finger long.
Although this piece of wood was small, it was quite heavy. Xu Meng took it and looked at it again. She was not a mahogany expert, so she still couldn't understand it.
"If I'm not mistaken, this wood should be small-leaf red sandalwood!" Chen Muyu said.
"Small-leaf rosewood?"
Although Xu Meng has not studied it, he has heard of the name of red sandalwood. This thing is considered to be the best wood, and it occupies a very important place in the world of jewelry and art.
"You read that right?"
Can you find small-leaf rosewood at such a stall? It's a bit beyond Xu Meng's knowledge.
Not to mention that Xu Meng didn't believe it, Chen Muyu didn't believe it either.
But it is true that even if Chen Muyu picked it up at a roadside stall, of course, he would not be able to run back and ask the boss where it came from. That would be asking for trouble.
"It can't be wrong!" Chen Muyu shook his head, his face full of confidence, "Look, the surface of this handle is so slippery, the texture, the oiliness, it has been patinated, and the background is also clean, and there are no cracks or cracks all over.
Flaws, look at the pattern on it, the dragon scale pattern, how beautiful it is. With this material, if you can carve a string of beads, you can sell it for a few thousand at least."
This is not bragging at all. This wooden handle is almost two centimeters in diameter. If you can carve out a string of beads, the quality will definitely be high. Not to mention three to five thousand, but two or three thousand will definitely be worth it.
"Muyu, can't you tell, you know so much about this?" Xu Meng was quite surprised that Chen Muyu could explain it so comprehensively.
"Of course, you admire me very much, don't you?" In front of his girlfriend, of course Chen Muyu would do as he should to establish his majestic image of being knowledgeable and talented.
Xu Meng chuckled, "Well, I admire it a lot, but how many beads can be made from such a small piece of wood? Moreover, there is such a big hole!"
There was a hole in the wooden handle where the spoon handle was previously mounted. The existence of this hole meant that it would not be able to carve a few beads.
"It's a pity that you can't drive beads!"
Chen Muyu shook his head, "But it can be used to make a knife handle. One day I will find a craftsman to make me a sword and insert it into it. That's not bad. Anyway, this thing is only 20 yuan. What's wrong?
You can earn money with your blood, right?"
