Jinhuan was woken up very early by Grandpa Xu, who said he was taking her to visit the black market. It was only a quarter past four after she had washed up and left the house.

There will be no sales today, so Grandpa Xu is going to take Jinhuan to look at old things.

It doesn't matter if he buys counterfeit goods, as he has enough money. Now these things are worthless, so he should just pay the tuition fee.

If you come across the real thing, wouldn’t it be a profit?

Jin Huan was led away by Grandpa Xu in confusion, but they were quite fast and arrived at the Ximen air-raid shelter before five o'clock.

Mendun'er was still standing guard at the door of the air-raid shelter. When he saw Grandpa Xu, he went up to say hello. Grandpa Xu said he was just here to buy some old items on the black market, so he went in.

There are more stalls in the market today than last time. It seems that Fan Congli was disappointed in the blind date market, but he is still very proud of his business.

Jewelry, jades, and exquisite ornaments are the main goals of the fun, and those calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings that are difficult to distinguish between genuine and fake are just passing by, because I really can’t understand them and I can’t be sure.

Jinhuan was first attracted by a lotus, carp, and jade ornament. The stall owner was an old man wearing a pair of coarse cloth clothes. This was the only ornament on his stall.

However, Jin Huan said nothing and did not come forward to ask, because there was a customer playing with this ornament at some stalls.

This customer is a middle-aged man, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses and a Chinese tunic suit that has been washed a little white.

His love for this ornament was beyond words, but the old man asked for one hundred and fifty yuan.

"Old man, I really didn't mean to bargain with you. I really only have one hundred and twenty-two yuan. Can you just give me twenty-eight yuan?"

"No, it's just one hundred and fifty, and I won't sell it for a dime less!" the old man said firmly.

The middle-aged stall owner next to him who also bought gold and silver jewelry was an old acquaintance of this customer, so he helped him by saying,

"Old man, there are not many people who like this thing now. The jade is not worth the price. Old Zheng is a teacher who studies history. You can sell it to him, but others can't pay the same price!"

The old man still shook his head, "My old lady is sick and hospitalized. I have to sell this jade for 150 yuan to be able to raise the medical expenses."

Otherwise I would be reluctant to sell it, as this has been passed down from my ancestors for several generations!"

The middle-aged customer also sighed, "Forget it, you have a problem too, it's because I have no fate with this object!"

He caressed the carp, lotus and jade sculpture lovingly, put it down reluctantly, and after walking a few steps, he looked back.

After the professor surnamed Zheng had gone far, Jinhuan moved over from the stall next to him. Jinhuan immediately prepared to get the lotus carp jade carving.

When the old man saw that Jinhuan was a little girl, he was afraid that Jinhuan would accidentally drop the jade sculpture, so he quickly took the jade sculpture back into his arms and said something.

"Little sister Waler, this is not a toy, little dolls can't play with it!"

Jinhuan knew that the old man had misunderstood and quickly explained:

"Grandpa, I know this is a lotus carp ornament, I will be very careful not to break it.

If it breaks, I'll ask my ancestor to pay you one hundred and fifty yuan, can you let me see if it's okay?"

The old man saw that Jin Jinhuan spoke clearly and clearly, and looked like he was well-dressed. He should be a daughter of a wealthy family, but he still hesitated.

Only then did Grandpa Xu take the words, "Brother, brother, don't worry, show it to my doll. If it's broken, I will compensate you according to the price."

The old man selling the jade carving carefully handed the jade carving to Jin Huan after seeing the adult speak.

Jinhuan took it with both hands. The lotus part of the main body of this jade carving was made of white jade, and it was also very delicate and oily mutton-fat white jade. There was no flaw on the lotus.

The color of the left and right edges is bright red blood red, and two red carps are vividly surrounded by white lotus flowers.

Regardless of the quality of the jade, just the composition and color combination alone can be called a pretty jade carving.

Moreover, this jade carving is made of Hetian jade that is oily and smooth as a whole and has a very delicate texture.

In a few decades, the Hetian jade will be mined out. At that time, beads with the same texture as this ornament are regarded as legends and are priceless at auctions.

Grandpa Xu liked this ornament very much after seeing it. He turned the jade carving over and over several times and couldn't bear to put it down.

He took out the money from his coat pocket, counted out fifteen big tickets and paid the money.

The old man counted the money back and forth several times. After making sure it was correct, he handed Jinhuan a wooden box with silk padding inside. The jade carvings used to be placed in this box.

Jinhuan carefully packaged the jade carving, covered the box and taught it to Grandpa Xu.

Grandpa Xu took it and was amused, "Why do we, little fish, like this ornament so much? I can't even move my eyes when I look at it!"

"Yes, Zuzu, the two red carps above are so beautiful!" Jin Huan also followed his amuse.

Grandpa Xu said with a smile: "For one hundred and fifty yuan, Grandpa Xu can buy a cart of live red carps!"

The jade carving seller quickly put away the furoshiki on the ground, nodded to Master Xu and left in a hurry.

"Old man, you really dote on your doll!" The stall owner next to him who had just been supportive smiled and talked to Grandpa Xu.

Grandpa Xu smiled and then said: "I like the doll very much. If I don't buy it, I will keep talking about it when I go home. I'm afraid of her!"

"Haha, if it were anyone else, a beating would be a light one!" The middle-aged man knew from Grandpa Xu's tone that he was just joking, "You are so lucky to have a great-granddaughter at such a young age!"

"I'm already old, and I don't have much to think about anymore, so I'm just trying to tease my grandchild!" Grandpa Xu pretended to be modest, but he was really happy in his heart.

The stall owner here was chatting and joking with Grandpa Xu. Jinhuan squatted in front of the stall and rummaged through the things he picked up. He actually found a string of lapis lazuli beads among several strings of pearl necklaces. Chao beads are not uncommon in the collection world.

Because in the Qing Dynasty, everyone from the emperor's concubines to the wives of officials were required to wear court clothes and wear court beads in formal occasions.

However, this string of blue-gold beads is really rare. They were the beads worn by emperors of the Qing Dynasty to worship heaven.

Because the color of lapis lazuli is cyan or azure, it is very similar to the color of the blue sky.

Therefore, throughout the ages, whether it is the Pharaohs of the Middle East or the emperors of China, they all use lapis lazuli to offer sacrifices to God and pray to God.

After his death, he was also buried with lapis lazuli objects, "because of its green color, which is the way to ascend to heaven."

The stall owner saw that Mr. Xu was spending money happily, and Jin Huan picked up the lapis lazuli bead string. He felt that the business was promising, so he quickly introduced:

"Sister, this necklace is good. It was a royal item worn by the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. You can buy it for only fifty yuan!"

Jinhuan snorted with a straight face, and started to yell at the stall owner:

"Uncle, don't let me fool you just because I'm young! The emperor brings big and round pearls.

This string of yours is not a pearl. I don’t know what kind of material it is, whether it is blue or blue or green. It is simply worn by a low-ranking official!"

The stall owner was just talking nonsense. He told customers that the slightly neater jewelry was given by the emperor, and he thought it looked more elegant and attractive.

In fact, he only knew about gold and silver jewelry, and the items on the stall were not family heirlooms, but collected from everywhere.

Some of them were even picked up from junk collectors in the past, who really knew the value and provenance of the items.

"My little girl is very talkative, so I'm convinced. How much money do you think you have?"

"Five yuan!" Jinhuan went straight to one-tenth of the price, since the stall owner didn't know what he was selling.

Hearing the five yuan stall owner, he immediately frowned and said, "No, no, five yuan is too cheap. I would rather take it home and let it eat dust!"

"Why is five yuan so cheap? Pork is only 70 cents a pound. You can buy seven pounds of pork for five yuan!" Jin Huan looked a little unhappy.

The stall owner couldn't help but yell at Jin Huan's bargaining method, "Little sister Wale, you can't buy pork with just money, you also need a ticket!"

"You just have a ticket, but you won't buy it if you don't have money. Five yuan is not low anymore, so forget it if you don't sell it. I will buy all my five yuan into pork in a while, and I can still eat it for half a month."

!" Jinhuan bargained for some reason and ended up focusing on the pork.

The stall owner was still a little reluctant, "Five yuan is really too little, ten yuan! Just take it for ten yuan. The jade carving you just bought was still a hundred and fifty yuan!"

"Gold is priceless, but jade is priceless. You don't even know what materials your beads are made of. How dare you compare them with other people's authentic Hotan mutton-fat jade?"

"Well, that five yuan is too low. If you add two more yuan, I will make the move for seven yuan!"

"No! I've lost five yuan, so why pay seven yuan?" Jin Huan stood up and called to Mr. Xu, "Forget it if you don't want to sell it! Zuzu, let's go!"

The stall owner felt a little regretful when he saw Jin Huan stand up and take Master Xu's hand, and immediately walked away without any hesitation.

After Jinhuan had taken two steps, he quickly shouted: "Five yuan is five yuan. Even if I can't bargain with you, you are such a talkative little girl. I will lose a lot today!"
