Although this is currently the largest antique market in Gyeongdao, there are very few businesses with business licenses, and the main business is modern calligraphy and painting, furniture, stones and some porcelain. It is estimated that today may be a Tuesday afternoon, open-air
Not all the stalls in the market were set up, and there were not many people in the entire market.
Cao Bing'er looked left and right, picked out an antique store with a rather gorgeous facade and walked in.
In the antique store of more than several hundred square meters, except for a few idiots wearing suits on such a hot day in front of the porcelain counter closest to the south wall, there were not many people in the entire store. It seemed that not everyone took the idea.
The way to get rich lies in the things left by the ancestors. The boss, who was a little fat, saw a fashionable girl come in. Except for his eyes suddenly shining, he had no intention of coming over to strike up a conversation. He continued to turn around and stood among the few in suits and leather shoes.
Behind the person, there is a pious smile on his face.
Carrying her hands behind her back, she slowly came to the counter dedicated to the exhibition of ancient coins. Looking at the moss-green ancient coins, Cao Bing'er looked left and right for a long time, but she couldn't see what the value of these scrap coppers was.
A few hundred dollars on it.
"Little sister, do you also collect?" Just when Cao Bing'er was wondering whether these coins were worth the money, the boss took advantage of the Japanese chattering birds to appreciate a Qing Dynasty official kiln vase.
During the break, he came over and said hello to her.
They all have a keen eye for antiques. They can all tell what dynasty those old things were produced in, so why can't they guess what modern people think? The boss concluded from Cao Bing'er's fashionable and glamorous appearance that she belongs to the kind of person whose family is rich.
Worried about prodigal sons who have nowhere to spend money, etc. Prodigal son does not only refer to male citizens, sometimes those young ladies can more accurately explain what a real prodigal son is.
It's a pity that the boss made a mistake today.
In terms of accomplishments in antiques, ten Cao Bing'ers are not as good as this boss, but if we just talk about who is more experienced and pretentious, even a hundred bosses are no match for Cao Bing'er.
"Is there anything more valuable than this? For example, some kind of jade pendant or..." Cao Bing'er knocked on the glass of the counter with her left hand, then opened her right hand, revealing a jade ring engraved with Pegasus Sirius: "...you can use your hand for other things.
It’s okay to give things as gifts.”
"Haha." The boss saw this beautiful girl talking so loudly and was secretly happy. No wonder his ears were ringing all night last night. It turns out that someone came to give money today. After smiling, he glanced at the finger on the girl's hand and said, "Little sister, we Liu
Remember, the antique store is one of the best in Qingdao. You are in the right place to shop for treasures today, let alone one that is many times better than your ring..."
It turns out that this thing is called a ring. It turns out that this ring is not very valuable. Looking at the ring, Cao Bing'er thought to herself. Although she didn't really plan to sell this ring, she heard that there is a ring here that is many times more valuable than her own.
After that, I still couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It was like people were not saying whether this wrench was worth anything, but they were saying that Qin Yuguan people were worthless.
"Then how much do you think my ring ring is worth?" Originally, Cao Bing'er came here with a jade ring ring today, intending to find someone to appraise it without spending money. But in order to be afraid that others would see her true intention, she deliberately said it with the corner of her mouth.
There was a trace of disdain in these words, do you know that my finger ring is actually very valuable? As for whether people will say that she was deceived and didn't care, anyway, this ring ring was not bought with money.
After asking and not hearing the boss's answer, Cao Bing'er raised her head in confusion, only to see the boss's gleaming eyes staring at the jade ring in her hand. The greed revealed in those eyes frightened her, and she hurriedly raised her head.
He held the jade ring in his hand with his fingers and looked at the boss warily: "What do you want to do?"
Is this the Flying Wolf Ring in the late Tang Dynasty introduced in "Chinese Antique Culture"?
The boss only felt that it was a little difficult to breathe, but he didn't feel it at all, because now he only had the ring in the girl's hand in his heart. It wasn't until Cao Bing'er put the ring away that he woke up from the shock: "Little, little sister
, where did you buy this finger ring? Can you show it to me?"
Through the boss's gaffe, Cao Bing'er has concluded that the jade wrench in her hand may be of some value. The mood that was annoyed just now immediately improved, but there was still disapproval on her face, and she said lightly: "Oh, let's see. As for that
Where did you buy it? It was from a street stall not far from your store. It cost less than five hundred yuan... What, boss, do you like this thing?" After saying that, he held the ring in his hand again.
He handed it to the boss and said, "You'd better look carefully. I still don't know which dynasty it is from."
Just from the fact that there seems to be flowing clouds on the ring, the boss with decades of collecting experience can conclude that even if this ring is not the Feilang ring in the book, it is definitely not an ordinary product.
Only, did you find this treasure for less than 500 yuan?! When I heard that Cao Bing'er spent less than 500 yuan, the boss thought in his heart: I've been wandering around here all day, why?
Haven't seen this finger ring?
"Okay, have you seen enough? Is it genuine? If you want to collect it, how much are you willing to pay?" Good things can't always be shown to you. If I don't buy them after seeing them, wouldn't I be losing money?
Cao Bing'er took back the ring and deliberately sounded like she wanted to sell it.
Regretfully looking at the pulled back finger, the boss swallowed and then heard Cao Bing'er's question clearly. He was startled and then burst into ecstasy, blurting out: "I can't tell which dynasty it is from, but I do have the intention."
Buy it, but...will you sell it?"
"Of course you can sell it, but the price must be reasonable." Cao Bing'er was afraid that he would give a price of one hundred, two hundred yuan higher than five hundred yuan, so she deliberately put the wrench on her left thumb to show off in front of the boss: "I just don't know.
How much does the boss come up with?"
As soon as he heard that Cao Bing'er really meant to transfer the ring, the boss, who was regretting that he didn't see the ring first, immediately felt better. He couldn't wait to stretch out a hand and wave it in front of Cao Bing'er: "I, I will give this.
number?"
"Tch! If you pay five hundred, you think I'm a fool. I told you, it was close to five hundred when I bought it. The dozens of dollars you gave me as a bonus are not enough for me, girl, to eat an ice cream.
"Cao Bing'er looked like she was holding dozens of dollars as if they were money: "Forget it, it seems you don't really want it, I think I'd better go somewhere else, maybe I can meet a better person.
You are generous."
"No, no no!" the boss explained repeatedly: "It's not five hundred yuan, it's five thousand. I'll give you five thousand yuan to give you this thumb."
"Five thousand yuan?!" Cao Bing'er's jaw almost dropped to the ground. Although she could 'make' a hundred and eighty yuan on the bus every day, she was still frightened by the boss's price of five thousand yuan for this ring.
A jump. It seems that I have really found a treasure this time. It is just a broken finger. Although it feels good, I didn't expect it to be worth 5,000 yuan.
Facing Cao Bing'er's surprise, the boss thought she was complaining about the low price. He completely forgot that Cao Bing'er had just said that he would buy it for only five hundred yuan. He was afraid that the wolf would really fly away if he didn't let go of the child.
Then he made a look like he was bleeding heavily: "If five thousand yuan is not enough... then ten thousand yuan, it can't be higher than this price."
The boss's trick of playing hard to get was Cao Bing'er's mastery of it when she was 16 years old.
It seems that this ring is not only worth 10,000 yuan, but also has more space. Cao Bing'er thought to herself, and deliberately put her palm in front of the boss's eyes: "Hey, you have to see clearly what is engraved on it.
Although I’m not short of money, girl, I don’t like to be taken advantage of.”
Although Cao Bing'er's little hands are delicate and beautiful, the boss only has eyes for this finger ring engraved with flying wolves and galloping horses, and even the seven Pegasus, which are not much bigger than a grain of rice, with the pictures of seven Pegasus stepping on the snow and shooting Sirius, at this time
He could see everything clearly. Yes, yes, the last one is the legendary Feilang. If you can buy it today, you won’t have to worry if it doesn’t open for ten years. The boss made a plan in his mind
After looking at the profit, he gritted his teeth and quoted another price: "Fifty thousand yuan! This is the limit. No one in Qingdao except me will give you this price again."
The higher the boss's price, the more fearful Cao Bing'er becomes. Now she finally knows that this thumb ring is not something that can be thrown away casually for anyone. The owner of an antique shop who has become a man is willing to pay 50,000 yuan to buy this.
If the finger is broken, it means that the ring finger must be worth at least 100,000 yuan. No matter how good-tempered the 'godfather' is, he will hate himself to death when he slowly finds out that the ring finger was stolen by him.
"Fifty thousand yuan, okay? I can only take out so much... If you are still not satisfied, you can take whatever you want in my store, it is considered affixed." Seeing Cao Bing'er's face sinking, the boss said nothing.
His confidence was getting weaker and weaker. If it weren't for the fact that there were still a few Japanese in the store, he might have robbed him openly.
"It's half a million less." I don't know why, but when I thought that Qin Yuguan would be very anxious if he lost this ring, Cao Bing'er had the idea of returning it to its original owner as soon as possible. It's not that she is short of money now,
And she is quite short of money. Fifty thousand yuan, plus random antiques, can allow her and her grandma to live a good life in peace for a long time. But for some reason, money has lost its temptation in her heart for the first time.
.
Five hundred thousand!? Just when the boss was desperate, he suddenly heard someone behind him saying in blunt Chinese: "Five hundred thousand, I bought it." The boss turned around and saw that the person who said this was appreciating the official kilns of the Qing Dynasty just now.
Those Japanese tourists.
Yamaguchi Nengli, who was not as tall as Cao Bing'er, stared at the ring on Cao Bing'er's thumb with a pair of eyes several times bigger than a mung bean, and said again: "Fifty thousand, I bought this ring.
"After he reported the price, the people around him seemed to want to stop him, but they were stopped by him with a wave of his hand.
"Are you sure?" Cao Bing'er frowned and started to look towards the door. Now she hopes that other customers will come in, so that she can take the opportunity to leave. From the eyes of Yamaguchi, she is young but experienced.
However, Cao Bing'er, who was very rich, saw greed and determination to get the jade ring in her hand at all costs. Before Yamaguchi could say anything, she took her hand back, clenched her fists and asked again: "You
Which country are you from?"
Those who look like Chinese people are not necessarily of Chinese origin, but may also be Japanese or Korean.
Although he didn't understand what nationality had to do with whether or not he could sell thumb rings, Yamaguchi Nengshuo still looked away from Cao Bing'er and puffed up his chest proudly: "I am a citizen of Japan."
"Are you Japanese? Then why do you speak Chinese?" Cao Bing'er is now obsessed with messing around, hoping that someone will come into this gloomy antique shop at this time, even if it is Qin Yuguan, at least in his eyes
There is no such scary snake gaze.
"Does this have anything to do with whether or not the thumb ring is sold?" Yamaguchi Nokatsu finally asked this question with a frown.
"Yes." Cao Bing'er finally disillusioned her hope for the current visitor. She walked quietly to the owner of the antique shop and said, "Even if I give this ring away, I won't sell it to a Japanese who can speak Chinese.
." After saying that, before Yamaguchi could come to his senses, he suddenly pushed the antique shop owner hard, turned around and ran out the door.
The boss who had dreamed of getting rich just now was actually very dissatisfied with these Japanese people coming to ruin his plan. He had been thinking about how to get the wrench in his hand, but he was pushed hard by Cao Bing'er, and he was unprepared.
His huge body immediately bumped into several Japanese people.
"Baga!" Yamaguchi was knocked staggered by the boss. After he regained his balance, he realized that Cao Bing'er had run out of the store door. He pushed the owner of the antique shop away and yelled at the Japanese who came with him: "Go quickly.
Catch up with that little girl, she stole my wallet!" This is in China, which has always been a country of etiquette. If Cao Bing'er was framed by him for stealing the wallet of a foreign guest, I believe there will be brave people who will help him stop her. As for Cao Bing'er,
What to do after stopping it is not what you should consider when you are anxious now.
Several Japanese people were stunned and immediately understood what he meant. Just as one of them was about to bow and say "Hai", Yamaguchi kicked him in the butt: "Hurry up and chase him!"
Although Cao Bing'er is wearing fashionable clothes, she is wearing a pair of spring travel shoes. In her job where she is always ready to run, it is very important to have a suitable pair of shoes under her feet.
After a few people ran out of the antique store door, Cao Bing'er almost didn't think about it. She turned around and ran towards the street closest to here. When people feel insecure or encounter danger, the first thing to do is to escape to a place where there are many people.
Cao Bing'er, who is used to being a pickpocket, especially likes places with a lot of people. She just ran a few dozen meters away. For Cao Bing'er, who has been chased countless times, her rich experience in chasing after others told her,
The sound of shoes hitting the ground from at least three people was approaching her.
